Problem connecting Macbook to HP w19 display

Does anyone know a way to get my new Macbook to display on my old HP w19 19-inch widescreen LCD printer? I can only find Windows drivers. When I plug the monitor in, I get "Attention: Input Not Supported" message on the HP display. I've tried all the screen resolutions on the Macbook, to no avail.
Is this monitor only made for PC's?

Doesn't work for me either. Don't think this monitor plays nice with macs.

having problems connecting MacBook Pro 2010 TO vizio 60 " tv using mini displayport to VGA adapter
non support warning appears pn tv monitor

However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
Can you drag windows to the other display?
In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?

How to connect Macbook to 23" Cinema Display

I just bought a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter to connect my Macbook to my Cinema Display 23", but I am realizing this adapter is probably not what I need as the Cinema HD Display has a different, larger connector that doesn't match the other end of my adaptor. I was wondering if someone could help me understand which cables to buy.
Thank you!

Your 23" Cinema has a DVI-connector, so the adapter you're looking for is a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
The cable form your Cinema should look like this: http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/homelib/dvi_connector600.jpg

Update: audio problems connecting macbook pro to insignia TV: resolved

There have been posts from users who have expressed frustration that they cannot get audio when they attempt to connect their macbook pro to an Insignia TV.
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=10830387
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192206
Insignia customer service also attempts to state that the pre-April 2010 macbook pros cannot get audio output to the TV, because the units are designed to get the audio on the same HDMI and no alternative audio input is available on the TV.
http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Televisions/Connecting-MacBook-Pro-to-T V/td-p/5564
For the Insignia models (from 2010 onwards and possible some from 2009 as well), there is a simple workaround that does not seem to be published elsewhere on the internet (as far as I can see):
Use the HDMI port 1 only (audio does not work with port 2, port 3 or port 4) to connect your macbook and you will receive 1080p video signal.
Use a mini stereo audio cable (example link below) and connect your macbook audio output to a designated green color coded audio port on the TV located right next to the VGA. You will receive full stereo audio.
Example link for mini stereo audio cable:

I recently acquired a new Insignia TV and had sound trouble. I went to Best Buy to inquire about the cable in the link above and the sales manager had doubts. He recommended a RCA cable with a male connection at both ends. The RCA jack is on the bottom edge of the TV display next to the VGA connection. The sound worked perfectly using the RCA cable from the headphone jack on the Mac. I connected the video with a HDMI adapter from the monitor mirroring port.

Last update Problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

After installing OS X.8.2 last update (9/20) my MacBook Pro with retina display crashes in Finder and Parallels. Do you know how can I solve this problem?

There was a problem connecting to the server message - displayed when pressing printer email address

HP Photosmart B210, Windows 7...was able to print from iphone yesterday but now will not print. One the face of the printer if the ePrint symbol is pressed for the printer address the message "there was a problem connecting to the server" appears. I can find the device with my phone and on my computer. I can print from the computer but not phone

I understand you are getting unable to connect to server error message on your printer. I would first unplug router and printer for about 1 minute. I would plug router up first then printer. I would then try to enable web services. If not successful and you get same error message. I would follow these steps.
1. Obtain your printer's IP address
a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
4. On the left select networking.
5. Select Network Address (IP)
6. Select Manual DNS Server
a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.

CS6 problems on Macbook Pro with retina display

I just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display and Adobe CS6. After installing CS6, I noticed everything is pixelated. Any popup or lettering or words are pixelated and so are the brushed. I am not just talking about the fonts, but any word in the program. I use the program at school and everything is crisp and clear. Are my settings wrong or is there an update I need?

Best Way to Connect MacBook Pro (without Mini Display Port) to HDTV?

Hello,
Although I am fairly confident that I know at least one answer to this question, I thought it would be best to pitch it to the members of Apple communities, just to see if there is a better way to get to where I need to go. I have a MacBook Pro that I bought in July of 2007 for college. At this point, I know that it is fairly out of date, but I'm reluctant to throw down another three grand for a new one until I absolutely need to. Anyway, I want to connect it to my HDTV to play movies, games, etc. As this is an old model of the MBP, the Mini Display Port is not available. I do, however, have an Apple DVI port, as well as the (then included) Apple DVI to VGA cable/converter. Now, I know that VGA cannot transfer sound, but I think that DVI can. So here's my problem. If I create a bridge of wires to my HDTV, would sound come through? My idea is this: connect Apple DVI to VGA, then have a VGA to DVI converter, then have a DVI to HDMI cable, which connects to my HDTV. With all of those connections, however, I'm worried that something will go wrong along the way, and it won't work out. What I really need is an Apple DVI to HDMI cable, but I'm pretty sure those do not exist.
Anyway, I was just looking for any feedback that anyone has. Thank you in advance!
Best,
Daniel

Hey tjk,
Thanks for the response.
Do you have any recommendations for a potential set up? The audio output and Apple DVI are on different sides of my MBP, which is alright, I guess I can get two long cables to handle each. I was hoping to just have my MBP closer to where I use it, with a cord nearby plugged in on one side to the HDTV and resting near where I keep my MBP for when I want to use the HDTV as an external monitor.
With a converter like this, you can run video out of the MBP's DVI port, and miniToslink (optical) audio out of the 3.5mm stereo mini jack to the converter, then it will combine the two and output audio and video through HDMI to the monitor.

Otherwise, depending on the TV's inputs, for video you could run DVI to DVI on the TV, or DVI to HDMI to the TV. For audio you could run 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the MBP to RCA adapter on the TV. Toslink/optical is also an option.

Problems connecting macbook to epson ex70 projector

I hope someone might have some insight on this. I'm trying to hookup my macbook to an epson ex70 projector via hdmi. I'm also trying to run in closed clamshell mode. The problem is that it will recognize the computer and display for about 5 seconds and then loose the connection. Then it will kick back on and then shut off. If I open the computer then it will remain on but there is no mirroring to the projector dispay and I cannot get any video to play full screen on the projector. I have no problem running it to my sharp hdtv in this way but for some reason the projector seems to have a problem. Any ideas?

Is the MacBook connected to its AC power adapter? It needs to be for closed clamshell to work.

Problems connecting Macbook to Infocus X2 Projector

I'm trying to set up my Macbook to project through my Infocus X2 projector using an Infocus Liteshow wireless card.
I can get the screen to project but the visual comes up looking kind of like a 'negative' image. I've fiddled with my display settings but can't seem to fix it.
I don't think the problem is with the projector itself because it projects fine from my other DVD player.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Try turning on the White on Black option in the Seeing section of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences when you need to present; this will invert the color of all displays currently connected to the machine.

Having problems connecting macbook pro to my tv

i am trying to connect my macbook pro (only bought a few months ago to my LG 42 " flat screen tv. i know that i am quite useless with all things computer but i have managed to get my husbands older macbook to work no problem (but his headphone socket is broken so no sound apart from the macbook itself- a little quiet). however i have bout a mini display port to HDMI cable i have also tried mini dispaly port to DVI adapter and a VGA adapter. the tv recognizers the macbook pro as the purple screen saver (the one that looks like a galaxy and comes up when you are downloading new software......sorry i told you i don't know much about this) shows up on the tv but the dvd, or page that i have open on my mac doesn't come up. please can anyone help as i really want to watch some tv programs from the internet on my tv asap.

It sounds like you're making progress. The problem, I think, is that you need to set your displays to "mirror" each other. For instructions, in Finder, choose Help and search for "Setting up multiple displays to show the same image"

Problems connecting macbook to a LG TV

Hi all,
I'm writing because I recently acquired a LG TV, exactly the model RZ 26LZ55 and I tried to use it with my black macbook (4.1) like a second monitor. I tried to connect it using the miniDVI to VGA Apple's adaptor and a VGA to DVI-I cable. At first it worked during few minutes, but when I closed the laptop and opened again I didn't been able to see the image again...
The macbook recognizes the TV and I can adjust the resolution and move the mouse around the two desktops, but the TV is entering to DPM mode (Power Saving Mode) and doesn't display anything. At first I think that was a TV problem, but my surprise was when I saw that the TV works with any other computer (I tried with 2 diferent PC's), so I think that's a macbook problem...
I've read a lot of discussions talking about this problem, but I couldn't found the solution anywhere and in the mac support or manual don't appears it...
Can somebody help me?
Thanks a lot!

Solved!
I changed the miniDVI-VGA adaptor and used a miniDVI-DVI with a DVI-D to DVI-D dual link cable. I know that's not necessary to use a dual link cable, but I found a cheap cable and I bought it. Now it works perfectly.
It seems to be the Digital to Analog conversion and the DVI-I cable (I don't know if the signal entering to the TV was digital or analog, because de DVI-I works in the two modes...).
Anyway, I'm very disappointed with Apple, because I've spend more than 40€ (that's like 55$) buying other cables and adaptors that now I don't need, and in any manual or guide says that the DVI connexion of the adaptor is DVI-D...
Well, thanks Zlig and frederic, you've been very helpful!

Download, battery, and sleep problems on macbook pro with retina display after upgrading to Mountain lion

After waiting a few days to download OS X Mountain lion, I finally installed it on my new MacBook with retina display a couple days ago. I love the interface and all the new features, but I've noticed some problems I really need to resolve. I'm constantly downloading large files and I noticed thhis change:
Before, on Lion, I could download files from Safari or the Internet and the computer would sleep whenever it was set to on energy preferences and the download would resume. This would let the computer conserve energy so the download could progress further when on battery. Now, I noticed that my computer never goes to sleep! Its set to have the display sleep in 5 minutes and the computer in 15 on both battery and when plugged in, but it never does either. I don't know if it has to do with the fact that power nap is on even when using battery. So now the Mac is constantly on when downloading something and instead of downloading a one gigabyte file that would take up 15% of my battery, it takes up 60% since it never sleeps. When I tried downloading something and then manually putting the computer to sleep, the download was interrupted and it said Wi-Fi connection lost so I have to start the download over again.
That's basically all three problems in one situation. I even put the brightness all the way on low so the screen is black when downloading, but it still uses up much more battery than before. Can someone help find a solution?

Did you try turning off power nap?

Problems Connecting Macbook to TV

I'm trying to connect my 2007 MacBook to my CRT Sony Wega TV. I'm using a mini-dvi to video adapter. It doesn't matter if I use a yellow rca or svideo, the picture on my TV is all black and wavy. I can vaguely make out the picture on my TV, but it's mostly indistinguishable. I've tried changing the resolution settings but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone help me with this?

All I have is RCA and S-Video. My TV is an old beast. I haven't upgraded yet. The adapter I'm using is supposedly designed for connecting to analog TVs like mine, but when I do all I get are black wavy lines moving across the screen.
