Port replicator and dual displays

Stupid question alert - if the machine stands straight up in the replicator, how do you use the display in a dual configuration? Also, you still need toplug a USB cable in?

Sorry can you explain what you mean if the machine stands straight up in the replicator? Also, which machine are we talking about here and the model of the port replicator?

Portege R930-1D0 + High speed port replicator II - dual monitor support

Hi
Running a Portege R930-1d0 through High speed port replicatior II.
Is it possible to output to dual displays?
Thanks

>So if I connect one monitor via VGA and another via display port I should get output to both monitors?
Well, usually it should be possible to use two external monitor simultaneously.
But Im not quite sure about the VGA/Display port combination because the VGA port supports analogue signal and the HDMI / Display port supports digital output.
However, it worth a check
Otherwise you could try to connect one monitor directly to the notebook and the other to port replicator.

Port replicator and volume controls

hi - i have a new USB port replicator hooked up to my T42 Thinkpad. I plugged my external speakers into the port replicator's headphone jack. The speakers work, but now the volume controls on my laptop don't do anything. I have to make any volume adjustments using the controls on the speakers themselves. Anything I can do about this? Thanks for your help.

ok, thanks for you answer. maybe "port replicator" was the wrong term.
actually, I have this:
I have 2 docks like that at my office. P/N I have are 0B56232 and SD20A23326 (FRU: 04Y2072 and 04W3587)
the reference (433615W) mentionned on my previous message was wrong.
I have the same port between the yellow port and the white port, and it looks like a display port (?)
and, I have just an other question about these docks: do I have to shut down or hibernate the machine before taking them off the dock (with usb devices plugged on the dock)? I think so but I'm not sure.. thanks

Portege R500 - Slim port Replicator II: Dual Monitor DVI & RGB together

Is it possible to use a dual monitor setup on a slim port replicator II if I connect one monitor to the DVI-port and the other to the RGB-port?
I have a Toshiba Portege R500 notebook.
TIA

Hi
I didnt find any information regarding the Advanced Port Replicator II but I found some info about Advanced Port Replicator III and the simultaneous usage of RGB & DVI ports
So the point is that this is possible *BUT ONLY* if notebook system unit _itself also support_ RGB & DVI simultaneous usage.

T410/T510 and Dual Displays

I'm looking at the T410 or T510 for my wife for her business. I wanted to try and set her up with dual displays (either the laptop LCD itself plus one display or two physical displays. Is there anything I need to be aware of in regards to a dock solution or a discrete graphics card if I'm thinking of dual displays?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) the integrated only option supports a max of 2 display by itself, so either 2 external LCD and no internal LCD. Or 1 external and 1 internal.
2) the optimus nvidia gpu supports up to 4 LCD.

Bridge and dual displays

I have been searching the web for a while now to find a way to show the usual Bridge window on one display and a preview - just a preview... no menu bar or other embellishments - on the other display in a dual display setup.
Apple's Aperture does it but I can't find a way to do it with Bridge, nor does it appear that Lightroom will do it.
I think this is a significant setback... being able to do this would be great for editing so you could see the image preview with no distractions and as big as possible. More to the point it would be good for presentations so the presenter can see all the folder structure, favourites, thumbnails etc but the audience only sees the intended image on a clean black (yes black... not the image backdrop colour) background.
I have found a way to cheat this, by extending the Bridge window over both displays and positioning all the favourites, folders, thumbnails panels etc on the extreme right side but you still see the menu bar and other bits and bobs at the window edges and the background colour is grey, not black (unless you set the image backdrop to black, which I think is a bit harsh for viewing thumbnails).
If you want to see what I mean, go to http://www.2020graphics.com.au/dual_displays.html
If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, or any Adobe engineers are reading this... help!!!

>Select an image in Bridge. Then hit the space bar on your keyboard.
 
 This is what you get:

Full Screen Preview Space
 nothing but your image on the main monitor, your secondary monitor totally blacked out.
 
 You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the images in the folder. Use the escape key to go back to regular view.

Mavericks and Dual Display not working as documented

Hi all. Ok..something a little wierder here for my dual display scenario. I have two Samsung Syncmaster 2443 monitors. 15" MBP Retina purchased this year. Running in Clamshell Mode.
I can get dual monitors happening (extended) but I cannot get the menu bar to come over as well. As mentioned in other posts, I need to tick the box in Mission Control "Displays have seperate spaces". The only problem is, that particular menu item is NOT there. All I have is the other 4 items. So how is it that this menu item does not exist on my installation?
In this current setup, each time I reboot the display's also get reveresed, which is really annoying. I have to reboot twice to get back to my original layout.
Any idea's?
Tks

you're faking out your machine to THINK it has 2 real displays and you expect Keynote to work? Keynote is THE most intense app I've ever seen for screen drawing. It basically takes over your entire machine to do its work. It doesn't surprise me that that trick doesn't work with it.
My guess is you're going to have to wait till you have the actual projector and adapter to test your dual screen setup.

10.5.1 and dual display bug

I have been using my MacBook Core Duo (graphics card GMA 950) connected to a projector in dual display mode for over a year. After upgrading from 10.5 to 10.5.1, the macbook can function in mirror mode, but the projector does not receive a signal for dual display unless I restart the computer. The problem is consistent even though the projector has not changed.
Normally I plug in and the laptop screen changes to blue, then changes to dual display mode and sends a signal to the projector. Now, when I connect to the projector, the projector signal is black. I can switch to mirror mode using either F7 or via the Display preferences but there is no way to obtain dual display mode. Once I reboot, the problem is solved. This has been going on daily, each time with the same solution.

I get dozens of the "ACL found but not expected ..." messages, all on the contents of System/Library/User Templates/. When I go to System/Library/ in Finder, only the User Templates folder has a red icon on it, indicating that I do not have access to it (when logged in as an admin). The icon does not appear on any of the other folders in System/Library. Does anyone have any idea on what's going on?

43R8770 Port Replicator and network connection

I have a 43R8770 port replicator that I'm connecting to an SL500 Thinkpad running XP Pro sp2. Everything seems to be working correctly except the USB network adapter. Neither light on the adapter wll come on when it's plugged in and connected to the network. Anyone have similar problems? If so, how did you fix it?

I just uninstalled Access Connections, and now I can connect via ethernet through the USB port replicator.

45K1610 Port Replicator and Thinkpad T510 cause Autodesk Inventor 2011 crashes in Windows 7 x64

The Lenovo 45K1610 Port Replicator driver, when installed, causes Autodesk Inventor 2011 to crash when opening files. It also crashes the Inventor crash reporting tool, with a logged crash in the nVidia driver. The latest drivers from Lenovo for both the nVidia driver and the Port Replicator do not fix the issue. Uninstalling the port replicator driver fixes the issue. This is on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise.

We are having the same problem on a Thinkpad Edge 15 0302, is there any updates?

What cable(s) for audio on hp zr2440w monitor with HP 3005pr port replicator and HP Folio laptop?

I have an HP ZR2440w monitor.
I have an HP Folio laptop.
I have an HP 3005pr port replicator.
I want to use the monitor's built-in speakers.
Question 1) What cable do I need to connect the port replicator to the monitor to use the monitor's built-in speakers?
Question 2) Does the monitor have a built-in microphone?
Question 2b) If yes, what cable do I need to connect the port replicator to the monitor to use the monitor's built-in microphone?
Thanks!

I understand you have some questions connecting the zr2440w monitor to the Hp 3005pr port replicator.
The back of the replicator should look something like this.
Question 1) What cable do I need to connect the port replicator to the monitor to use the monitor's built-in speakers?
The green headphone jack is how you would connect it to a set of external speakers. If the monitor has its own speakers, it should have a port to match it. This is a standard 3.5mm audio jack, so any standard 3.5mm speaker cable should work. I will note that this monitor didn't list any audio input. Monitors that have speakers usually have an analog audio input jack.
Question 2) Does the monitor have a built-in microphone?
This guide lists all the features of this monitor starting on page 2. It doesn't appear to have a microphone. You could still connect an external microphone to the port replicator's microphone jack.
Let me know if this answered your questions.

Cintiq 24 HD and dual display turning files black?

I have a brand new Cintiq 24 HD and a secondary monitor, a 24 inch Gateway. Any files I open in Photoshop show up fine on my Cintiq, but as soon as I try and drag them onto the other monitor, they mysteriously turn black. If I drag it back to the Cintiq, I can see it again. Does anybody know why this is happening?

We purchased two new 24" Apple Cinema Displays a few weeks ago along with a new MacBook Pro 15" 2.66GHz. We are using the Cinema Display's built-in mini display port to connect it to the MacBook Pro. Within a few days of setting up the computer, we've encountered the following intermittent faults:
1. Cinema Display flashes black (completely) for a couple of milliseconds;
2. horizontal white lines (1 pixel to 100ish pixels high) flash across Cinema Display.
The MacBook Pro can go for hours with no problem at all and then start a fit of flickering. The MacBook Pro's internal monitor is not affected by any of this. The problem occurs with the MacBook Pro attached to either of the two new Cinema Displays.
We reported the fault and Apple who provided a replacement MacBook Pro. The new computer is doing the exact same thing. We raised it again with Applecare yesterday and installed a Cinema Display firmware update (OS X 10.6.2). The flickering stopped for the rest of the day, but today it's started flickering again!
We also have a one year old MacBook Pro 15" 2.4GHz running OSX 10.5.8 which works perfectly (no flickering or cutouts) with both Cinema Displays.
Apple have now assigned an Engineer to our case and asked us to install some monitoring software (Capture Data / TimingSnoop). I'll update this post if/when Apple resolve the problem.

Screen sharing and dual displays

Hi, i added a second display on an iMac and often screen share using my MacBook but since adding the second screen i've had issues screen sharing. It will briefly show both the iMac's displays on my MacBook but then cut out with "connection lost", then find the connection again, then lose it etc etc. Sometimes i can select just the first display and it'll be fine but usually the connection keeps dropping and firing up so quickly that i can't get it to just show the one screen.
I unplugged the second display and everything worked fine as it always has done. Is this a known issue to be resolved in 10.5.3? If not is there a way i can change the default in screen sharing so that it'll just show me the first display? I don't need to see the second display particularly so that doesn't bother me.
Thanks, Simon

It may or may not be a common problem, since I screen share a 2-screen Mac Pro from a MacBook Pro and have not seen this problem. I always get both screens.

T61 and dual displays

Hi there
I have a T61 which a dock and two external monitors connected. HP L2035 (1600x1200) on the DVI and Dell 1907FP on the VGA.
Everything used to work just fine, until some windows update was installed few days ago. Now I can't get the HP display to work.
When I try to change to that monitor via the directorI get the erro:
The following settings you have selected cannot be applied properly. Change the settings and try again. Notebook LCD Resolution Color Quality.
But when I try to change to the HP display via the nview control pana, nothing happens.
I someone else experiencing this?
I have tried to install the latest Precentation Director for the lenovo/ibm site and also the latest NVIDIA drivers for the Quadro NVS 140M.

Yes i had same error but updating presentation director fixed that error. yes i see that you already tested this but i just wanted to tell if this helps someone else.
or maybe you could try this:
-uninstall presentation director
-reboot
-install presentation director
-Remake display profiles to presentation director.
