T-Tap unit out now for FCPX external monitoring

Hello All,
First off, I do not work for or own stock in Aja. Check out this new unit called the T-Tap from Aja it connects to your Mac via Thunderbolt and is powered by your Thunderbolt connection (you don't have to hook it up to external power). Now you can monitor your video on an external device. I believe it is $295.00 in the U.S. Check out their website at: www.aja.com

Partitioning the internal drive is - imho! - completely useless for UNIX-systems such as MacOS, due to excessive usage of (hidden!) temp-files.
And, especially a too small int. HDD partition for the system will brake any app 'til a full halt.
plus, 10.7. has some issues with managing Timemachine backups when it comes to large files as video - again, if the intHDD/OS drive is too small, it gets iffy.
at last >30GBs free, only codecs and material as intended by Cupertino = no probs here (on a much smaller/older set-up).

Did you follow the installation and configuration guide and disable the services that get in the way of OSB operations?

What is the maximum resolution for an external monitor for a 13" BMP

I have a new MBP 13 and a new Samsung LED 23" monitor that is spec'd at 1920x1080 resolution. However the maximum resolution I can get (using Display) for the external monitor is 1600x900 (or 1600x1200 stretched). What could be causing this limitation?

Are you guys able to resolve the issue with the Samsung HDTV LCD monitor? I just bought the Samsung B2230HD but having some image issue. I am connecting to the LCD from my macbook pro using Mini Display Port -> DVI -> HDMI but the image on the LCD is very grainy where the text is not sharp at all. The mac is able to detect the correct resolution of 1920x1080 though

HT201300 You have Macbook of some kind and it has two Thunderbolt ports. Which port do you use first for an external monitor/projector?

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

How can I set a custom resolution on a MacbookAir for an external monitor?

I've been trying to set a custom resolution on my macbook air for an external monitor but the only options displayed are 1280x1024 and 800x600. How can I bring up more options? Thanks!

Your Mac sets those resolutions (and the display NAME) based on the information your display provides when a query is sent at Startup. If those are the only resolutions shown, then your display has said that is all it can do.
What display is this, and what Interface is being used?
This pane will tell you more about what the display has reported:

Resolution 1920x1080 not available for an external monitor

Hi,
I've just bought a Tv Lcd + Monitor 24 Samsung P2470hn, I have a DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable to the monitor. But when a I go to System Preferences -> Displays, I only have resolutions up to 1600x900. The monitor supports 1920x1080 but it isn't available. What I'm doing wrong? Could it be the DVI to HDMI cable? The monitor has a DVI input.
One weird thing is that when I go to System Profiler -> Graphics/Displays I see that the external monitor has this
SyncMaster:
Resolution: 1600 x 900 @ 60 Hz
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Rotation: Supported
Television: Yes
Note the last item "Television: Yes" could be that the problem? if so how can I change it?
Thanks

I find it very annoying that I have to use MiniDisplay Port to VGA to get 1366x768 or 1920x1080 resolution options in the Display Control Pane. If I use MiniDisplay Port to HDMI, I get some old common resolutions, (some weird ones too like 1344x1024) as well as 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. 1080p would be great, except this is more of a "TV" video input rather than a "PC" monitor input, I either get overscan or underscan (depending on the "Overscan" check box).
Why, especially since it's all digital with HDMI, doesn't Apple include nice 1:1 Pixel mapping using HDMI? It's very frustrating! I've noticed some, (generally more expensive HDTVs, like my 63" Samsung Plasma), HDTVs will do "Just Scan" (as opposed to "OverScan" or "UnderScan") then the 1080p with HDMI works beautifully.
All of my VIZIO TVs, I have to use the VGA to get 1:1 Pixel mapping. At least, with a high quality VGA cable (even my 25 foot one from MonoPrice.com that would cost 10 times more at a local store) does convert back to digital (for LCD panel) without noticeable noise and pixel shifting (or ghosting, which I've seen with cheap VGA cables, weird, seeing analog distortions on a digital LCD display, but hey, bad analog in -bad analog looking image out). Plus, unless you have the newest Macs with audio supported through the MiniDisplay Port, you can only get the TV speakers to work with the "PC" VGA input and the "PC" audio input (3.5mm stereo phono jack) next to it. With an HDMI input, the TV will look for audio in the HDMI source and not from the "PC" audio input.

[W520] DisplayPort to dual outputs for 3 external monitors

I just discovered DisplayPort dual output adapters. Example:
DisplayPort to dual DisplayPort, Lenovo brand.
DisplayPort to dual HDMI (currently out of stock).
Currently I'm using my laptop display plus two external monitors with one using VGA and the other using DisplayPort for three displays total. Could I use one of these dual adapters to use three external monitors (plus laptop display) for four total displays? All displays would be 1920x1080 or less.
W520 i7-2720QM | 32 GB RAM 1333 MHz | FHD 1920x1080 | Quadro 1000M | Windows 7 & Ubuntu 14.04
Crucial M500 480GB mSATA + 2 x 1 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm | BIOS 1.38

Hi, just wanted to bump this thread because I have the same question (hope that's okay).
I currently have:
W520 screen
External 1080p monitor
External 1080p monitor
I'm hoping to keep those three displays but add a 1080p TV screen via an HDMI out. I would use the dual Displayport adapter noted above and a displayport-HDMi adapter I already have for the TV out.
If it is possible, would I be looking at a duplicate screen situation, or could I potentially extend my desktop past the three screens for totally new real estate?
Thanks all!

How do I get my laptop to remember different display arrangements for different external monitors?

I have a couple of different places where I work, and in both places there is an external monitor. As it turns out, the external monitor is on the left in one place and on the right in the other. They are different monitors, too (one's an old dell and one's a mac monitor). I remember in previous versions of Mac OS X, my MacBook would remember the display arrangement depending on which monitor was connected, and place my secondary desktop on the correct side. In Mavericks, it seems to maintain the arrangement from the last place that I changed it.
What this means is rather than my computer remembering where my external monitor should be, I have to change the arrangement of my monitors every time I switch desks.
Is this a feature that Apple removed from Mavericks? Was I imagining things in older versions of OSX?

"Is there a way to display my iPhone in the finder?"
No. You can't. It's not an external drive.

Which cable to use for 2 external monitors on MacBook Pro?

Hy there,
I'm currently using one external monitor on my MacBook Pro via a mini display to VGA cable from apple.
I would like to hook up another (second external monitor) one using also VGA.
After doing some research I've learned that I should use some sort of adaptor cable for this. I'm just wondering if there is any way of getting one of there for a decent price in europe? (decent is sub €100).
Thanks a lot!

Satellite M50-156: How can I change resolution for my external monitor?

Hi,
I bought an exernal monitor for my laptop M50-156 which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
I tried to update the graphic card and chipset, but the max resolution I have is 1280x1024!
So my external monitor cannot display properly :( Did anybody have the same problem?
Please help.. Thanks.
Beb

> But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
The resolution is not available and this says everything!!! Its not possible to choose this and you will have to use another resolution!
There are two reasons why your favorite external resolution is not available:
1) the graphic card chip does not support this
2) or the graphic card driver does not contain this resolution.
In your user manual you can find all supported and available external resolution
But I assume the 1920x1080 is not supported

Proceedure for using external monitor - help

I have a 2nd Gen MacBookPro with the FW800.
I was told that in order to properly utilize my external flat screen monitor I have to do the following:
1. Plug in external keyboard and mouse (not the monitor)
2. Start the laptop and log in using the laptop monitor
3. Once all is running, close the laptop lid, wait for the computer to go to sleep then connect the external DVI monitor.
4. Wake up the computer and the external monitor will display correctly.
This does work but is a pain.
If I connect the external monitor in the beginning, and then close the lid, the display is distorted (maybe simply a much lower resolution).
Is this normal? I was thinking about buying a dock and the benefit would be diminished if I still had to go through all this.

This process is only necessary if you are really constrained for space. Having both the MacBook's display and the monitor open simultaneously you get an extended desktop to move windows around. Closing your display, you lose a lot of workspace.
Yes it is distorted at the lowest resolutions. Though some monitors have better support for the progressive scan built-in to the MacBook Pro than others.
Also if your monitor is a 4:3 ratio display, the 16:9 "stretched" resolutions will appear distorted because you are trying to fit rectangular pixels on square ones!
Use a non-stretched resolution if you want less distortion on a 4:3 display, if that's what it is.

Enabling the DisplayPort for dual external monitors on my X201?

Just got my new Win7 X201 and am trying to connect my 2 19" external monitors. The VGA connects fine, but the other monitor connected via a DisplayPort 2 DVI converter is not recognized by the X201. How do I get this going?
Solved!

Pls ignore this post - turned out to be a connection problem. Operator senior moment!

I now get a external monitor error after a year

I have been using an external lcd monitor for about a year and this week I started getting an error after I plugged it in for a while. It would work for 1-4 hours and then the external monitor would say that the frequency was not supported. At this point my MB would freeze and when I tried to restart it, it would not turn back on. The AC cord was plugged in, so the only thing I could do was remove the battery for a couple of minutes and restart.
Each time I plugged the external monitor in it would work for a bit and then freeze again. I tried a different monitor and it froze as well and gave me the error box "optimal resolution is 900x1440 60mz. I tried again and made sure it was detecting the correct monitor in system preferences and that they matched the recommended specs, everything was correct.
ANY IDEAS?
I don't know what to try, like I said it worked for a whole year without any problems. And my 1 year warranty expired 9 days ago.
I would love some ideas, Thank you!

Hi frogjet,
Are you connecting over VGA or DVI? I take it you're using the same Apple adapter that you've had for a while? What was the other monitor that also didn't work? Was it also the same connection type?
It's probably worth bringing the computer and the monitor into an Apple Retail Store and having them have a quick look. I think the only problem, is that if it takes 1-4 hours to occur, a GB appointment is only 15-20 minutes long.
Can you maybe grab a screen shot when the issue occurs?

Is there any way to create custom resolutions for my external monitor?

I am currently trying to set-up a external monitor at its native resolution (1440x900@60Hz)
Any ideas how I could do that?

See the last paragraph of this support article.
