Problem with Viewsonic external screen

Hi everyone, I have the new MBP and miniDP > DVI cable, but nothing shows up on my external Viewsonic vx2035. The same combination works with other monitor, also the Viewsonic works with my old MBP... Any idea? Thanks.
John

I'm having a similar problem with my Cintiq. I've been dealing with both Apple and Wacom to address the issue and it looks like a compatability problem.
The reason I'm writing on this thread is that, as I was talking to the Wacom guy, I mentioned the Viewsonic issue I'd read about here. After a bit of silence, he told me that both Wacom and Viewsonic buy their lcd's from the same manufacturer. This would suggest an incompatibility issue that relates specifically to the brand of lcd.
Anyway, I hope this get's sorted out soon, as I would love to be able to repurchase the MBP I just returned due to this issue.

  • Problem with 2 External Drives on my new iMac

    I am having a problem when I daisy-chain a second external HD to my first external HD connected to my new iMac. This is the second external HD I've tried this with, with similar problems arising.
    My setup: OS 10.5.6. First external HD: G-Tech Q 1TB; 2nd External HD: also a G-Tech Q 1TB (the first time I was daisy-chaining a LaCie 250GB drive to my first external drive).
    Problem: when my second external HD is daisy-chained to the first external HD my system starts to go wonky. I can't force quit apps for one. My system hangs. On reboot I don't get past the blue screen. If I remove the daisy-chain all is fine.
    I initially had this problem with another external HD I tried to daisy-chain to the first. Same issue.
    I was trying to partition the second external using Disk Utility. When I hit the Partition button, Disk Utility just hung with the beach ball.
    When I attached a second external the first time I tried to do this all sorts of havoc ensued. A lot of apps were hanging and I couldn't Force Quit them. The whole system seemed to go wonky.
    Can anyone tell me what might be happening here?

    I've been doing a bit of research on these boards about daisy-chaining problems and am reading that sometimes daisy-chaining can overwhelm the Firewire bus and even corrupt data. This is what I had experienced the first time I tried to daisy-chain. Someone recommended a powered Firewire repeater (like this: http://tinyurl.com/kl84n5) would be a better solution.
    Given I've got only 1 Firewire port on my iMac, what do you think?

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

    Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

  • Why my ipad have problem with the rotation screen

    i have a problem with the rotation screen is locked, i try everything but nothing is happening help

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

    WHEN or HOW to fix the problem with Thunderbolt/Side screen problems (Cinema screen). Keeps blinking on & off then eventually completely off. Would have thought Apple would have fixed the problem by now as it is apparently to do with the Thunderbolt connector!.

  • I have a problem with the external sound of my ipod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    I have a problem with the external sound of my iPod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    - Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    - Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
    - Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.

    ever since I have continuously problems with my external HDD that disconnect all the time and cause problems in other software (Lightroom, Adobe PS CS6) ... it is not  a HDD problem, because it occurs with my 3TB WD HDD (Time Machine), my 1TB WD and  1TB IOMEGA
    any one have a solution? anyone dealt with this problem in the apple care program?

  • Urgent question very Strange problem with an external HD on mac PRO

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a external HD on my mac pro.
    After many month of regular use with out any problem today when I turned on the HD I could not see it in the finder anymore.
    I use this HD for backup of an other external HD and to do the back up I use an application called SYN SYNC
    The strange things are:
    1) If I start Sync Sync everything works properly as if the sofware recognize with out problem that the HD is effectively there.
    2) If I open DISK UTILITY I can see the HD and if I try to repair it the utility after 2 minutes says that everything is ok.
    3) If I look for the mac pro (to which the external HD incriminated is connected) on a different mac in my studio over the net I can see the external HD and I can browse the folder, copy items from the esternal HD to the MAC and even copy thing on the external HD.
    I tried to connect directly via Fire wire 800 the HD on a different MAC and I could not see it like on the mac pro.
    Does enyone have an idea of what's going on?
    best regards
    Lorenzo

    I can still see all the others external Hd with out any problem and I already try this but no results I can't see that HD on the desktop and neither in the sidebar.
    As I said the strange thing is that the external HD shows the same behaviour when is connected to a different MAC.
    Seams the problem is with the HD not with the MAC.
    I even try to use a different case for the HD using also USB connection instead of FW, but nothing change!

  • Every time I connect my MBP SR with an external screen, it FREEZES!!

    As the title said.
    Just ordered this september. Every time I connect it with an external screen, say, a projector or the dell228E at home, it freezes. Either failed to wake from sleep (freezes when the screen was still black), or just freeze where it was.
    Today it was the 4th freeze (I have to press and hold the power button to shut it down) in 30 days (I've only had it for 30 days!!).
    Any clues? Should I call Apple or what? Hardware issue or software (os) issue?
    Thanks!
    P.S. I don't have this issue on my own old powerbook 1.67. It was solid rock.

    Please search before posting. There is already an extensive exisiting thread in this forum dealing with the same issue

  • Latest firmware update and more problems with 30" external displays?

    Hello,
    New macbook pro user since a few weeks, so first post here.
    I'm aware of various issues with the displayport to dual-dvi adapter, especially with 30" 2560x1600 monitors. All threads I've found on are 1-3 years old though.
    I got my 17" macbook pro a few weeks ago and I've had very few problems running my 30" dell 3008wfp as external screen. I had issues at times getting it to work after boot up, with blackout and various errors (problems I've read about in older threads), but once stable it would work without issues for days.
    Yesterday the macbook found and installed a new firmware update, and wow, all **** broke lose. The external screen won't run at 2650x1600 for more than a minute before blacking out or suffering major graphical errors. Ironically one of the key points in the firmware update is better support for external monitors...
    It will run nice and stable mirrored at 1920x1200, but not at 2650x1600.
    Is anyone else in a similar situation after the latest update?

  • Problem with multi-touch screen when lid is closed

    I have a T400s with the MT screen, running a clean installed Win 7 32-bit and all latest Lenovo drivers/BIOS.
    I use external screen/keyboard/mouse at work so I am used to have the lid closed. I set in power management in the way that closing the lid does not do anything (e.g., sleep or hibernate).
    The problem is: when the lid is fully closed and external mouse is used, the mouse cursor randomly moves and clicks. When random clicks happen, I can see the finger-tap animation near the cursor on the external screen, suggesting that the MT screen receives input even when the lid is closed! It might be heat from the palm rest/keyboard area causing fake taps.
    Leaving the lid slightly open (like 15 degrees) solves this problem.
    EDIT 1: another clue of the above problem is that while the lid is closed, Windows 7's tablet input panel shows up on the left edge, which typically appears after a tap or a tablet pen gets close to the screen. I also noticed that the random clicks take place near the right edge of the screen.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @ wesleyyin,
    certainly strange. Some questions to help with the diagnostics;
    Which TrackPoint cap you you have on your keyboard, soft domed, soft rim or classic domed (the hairy one)?
    Can you try disabling the TrackPoint to see the problem goes away?
    Anything else laid on top of the system or between screen and keyboard like a thin cloth or something?
    Thanks
