T410 external monitor kills mouse/keyboard with dock

WinXP with SP3.
Hi there! I'm trying to use an external monitor. I also have a usb mouse and usb keyboard connected to the dock, When the external monitor is connected I have have keyboard and mouse function both external and on the laptop. I also have display on the external monitor. Once I boot windows, I loose function of the mouse and keyboard both externally and on the laptop. It's driving me nuts!! Any ideas??
If I just boot at the dock with only the monitor plugged in, I loose the mouse/keyboard on the laptop. Using the VGA plug.
Any help would be so grand!

I've tried 3 different mice and keyboards. The issue presents even if I just plug the monitor into the laptop without the dock either vga or div-x. The dock is a series 3 mini.

NEW09 imac External Monitor causes mouse to freeze every 4 sec for half sec

Would love some help
Every time I connect my external monitor my mouse will stick every 4 sec for less than a half sec (not exact but it it's doing it in a repeating pattern).. If I unplug it it stops and when I plug it back in in starts again.
4 day old imac 10.5.7 fully updated 2009 CTO Ati 4850 4gigs ram 1tb storage.
I tested all of my peripherals on 3 other mac's including new 8 core and mini and it works just fine (even when I connect the DELL monitor.
Also, tried to do a mirror instead of extended desktop and the problem persists
peripherals include Intouse3 Wacom with latest driver (I thought that was the issue so I tried older drivers and uninstalled them). Mighty mouse USB and keyboard w numeric keypad
External monitor is a new dell "24 1920 1080 monitor
Thanks it would be awesome if I didn't have to lug this thing down to Gen bar

Did you do the usual general trouble-shooting?
Run Disk Utility and use the +Repair Disk Permissions+ on the startup volume.
When you restart, use the reset PRAM procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, try creating a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Does this same problem occur in the new account? If not, you have narrowed down the cause to something in your normal account. It could be some corrupted user preference setting, or some background process (perhaps something third party) that runs when you are logged into your normal account.
If it does occur in the new account too, restart using the Mac OS X installation disc. Insert the disc and restart with the C key held down to force a restart from the optical drive. When it gets to the Installer's first screen, don't go any further, but note if this problem still occurs (when you are booted from a different system).

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3. When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working. When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode. I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi lancekatigbak,
If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

My MBP recently started logging itself out. I narrowed the problem to the external monitor which is connected with a Thunderbolt adapter. When I disconnected it, the problem went away.

My early 2011 MBP laptop (OS Yosemite 10.2.2) recently started logging itself out. I narrowed the problem to the external monitor which is connected with a Thunderbolt adapter. I installed Thunderbolt firmware update 1.2, that did not correct the problem. When I disconnect the external monitor, the problem went away. Is there something I can do to be able to use the external monitor again?

Turn off monitor.
All ok.
PROBLEM states:
• Monitor connected and ON, next to macbook in bootcamp win7.
• Monitor connected, ON, and 5ft away from computer in bootcamp win7. (no proximity)
• Monitor connected, ON, and connected to 2nd laptop VGA, display set to macbook so it outputs the macbook in bootcamp win7. (connection)
NOT Problem states:
• Monitor connected and OFF.
• Monitor ON and not connected. (proximity)
• Monitor On, and connected to 2nd laptop on VGA in same location. (proximity)
• Monitor connected, ON, and connected to 2nd laptop VGA, display set to VGA so it outputs the 2nd laptop. (proximity+connection)
• LAN connected, any test.
• In Mac OSX, no problem.
So problem state is when the macbook is in NVidia mode, connected and using external monitor in Bootcamp Win7 over the wireless network. Proximity has no effect. Connection, unused has no effect. No wired LAN problem.
I found some posts from 2007 about OSX having this issue, no one got beyond “it must be the monitor is too close and interfering with wireless”
I would have to say driver issue if OSX is ok, and bootcamp is not. Swapping drivers with Bootcamp drivers, win drivers, no joy.
Ideas?

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I've been having really bad wifi troubles only in Windows (7 64-bit Ultimate, specifically), and after looking all over the place I happened upon this post. I immediately unplugged the monitor and voila, the signal improved instantly and dramatically. I ran several tests with the monitor unplugged and plugged, and I can confirm that the monitor is definitely the culprit. I'm also using the DVI adapter from Monoprice. Thank you for this post, time to cancel my order for a new router. I would have NEVER thought to try unplugging/plugging my external monitor (also a Dell, incidentally).

MBP + external monitor + USB mouse + iTunes = lag

Hello, I am wondering if any of you can offer a solution to my problem. When I use my mac with my external monitor and external mouse, there is a systemwide lag every 3 seconds - the display sort of pauses, briefly interrupting mouse input and video playback. When deleting a long line of text it is again apparent.
It is not the mouse, as I have tried 3 different mice with the up to date drivers and they all work fine while itunes is not open and when using the laptop's screen, which also eliminates the variable of a poor mouse surface (it is good regardless).
There is no skipping when using the laptop's screen, regardless of itunes being open or not. Also, there is no skipping at all when I boot into windows and use it with the external display.
The skipping also occurs when video is being played back via Quicktime, with iTunes closed. The same video played with VLC does not cause the issue.
I have the computer hooked up to a Samsung SyncMaster 2494HM LCD, via the apple mini DP to DVI adapter, and with a DVI-HDMI cable (this decreased the issue from when it was connected with DVI and skipped all the time).
I have tried a different user account, and the problem persists there too. I have reset my PRAM and NVRAM also.
This is quite strange; any suggestions?

External monitor for macbook pro with dead screen

Macbook pro built in 2007 has a dead screen but is otherwise ok. Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs. How can I get the monitor to display my desktop if I can't see the macbook screen?

Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs.
Then it is working as designed.
By default, the external screen is combined with the built-in screen into an Extended Desktop, as seen in the Arrange tab below. You need to (Gather Windows) to get all controls on all displays, then drag the tiny white MenuBar to the display where you want it to appear. Then things will begin to operate as you expect.

How do i get the slideshow to display on my external monitor in extended view with powerpoint?

i have my T500 (windows 7) connected to a large external monitor with extended view. when i run powerpoint it displays the slideshow on my laptap screen instead of the external view. how can i have the presenter view show on my laptop, and the slideshow show on the external monitor/projector?
thanks!

You can do it that way, (Clone) but everything you do on your laptop will also be displayed on the monitor.
Assuming you would like the display on the external and freedom to navigate on your laptop without broadcasting, you would need to adjust your slide show settings in PowerPoint.
To use this procedure:
In PowerPoint, On the Slide Show menu, click Set Up Show.
Under Multiple monitors > Display slide show on drop down menu: select the monitor you want the slide show to appear on.

How many external monitors can I support with 13" rMBP (late 2012)?

Device has two DisplayPorts and each is powering an external display properly. It also has an HDMI port. Can I connect a third monitor here?

I got my new 13" Retina in the other day (late 2013 model ME865LL/A)
I was all excited to see if the two Thunderbolt 2 outputs and the HDMI output would work together, but plugging in the HDMI output knocked out one of the Thunderbolt outputs, so what I read was right, the 13" model will only power two external monitors. Before I got this I kept reading over and over how it wasn't possible, but that was dealing with the Late '12 or the Early '13 models, I was hoping that the upgraded video card on the newest Haswell versions may be different, but alas, not to be....
But I did implement a work around as I have a Matrox Triple Head 2 Go DP Edition for my old Macbook and what that does is make my two Lenovo 22" widescreens look like one big 3840x1200 monitor to it's host (tricking the MB to thinking "hey, this is one monitor"), so this allows me to use one Thunderbolt output to power these two monitors and then I am using an HDMI --> DVI cable to power an HP 23" widescreen monitor I also have running at full resolution, all this in addition to the Laptop display as well:
Here is a quick 20 second video of all monitors playing video.... the one on the left in the middle row was staggering but that is more a problem with AMC's website more than anything, I never get good stream speeds from their site
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfIsupl3psc
I just installed iStat 4 an hour ago and am showing CPU temps around 150 degrees, not really sure what "normal" is or what is acceptable...... I'm going to keep tabs on what the temps are as I finish up my workday here (another 6 hours to go)
I still want to re-arrangle things so i only have two levels of screens to deal with, but still formulating that setup with my desk

External monitor AOC i2369Vm: compatible with my 2007 MBPro?

Hi there,
I have an 'old' but cherished 2007 MacBook Pro.
I am thinking of buying an external monitor AOC i2369Vm.
Are there compatibility problems regarding connecting ports etc? Online I've seen a few users who've complained of these but no answers were forthcoming when they posted their issues.
If there aren't any problems, then great. But if so, are there any suggestions regarding compatible and similarly - priced monitors?
Thanks a lot for your help, Adrian

I have an LG GE24LU20 and works great with either my iMac or Mac Mini.

Using Dual External Monitors as Separate Screens with Late-2011 15" MBP

Hello,
I've looked around for answers, but haven't found something that seems to address what I'm looking for.
I have a late-2011 15" MBP. The Apple TB FAQ page says it can support two external monitors. I currently have it hooked up to one external monitor via mini-to-HDMI.
I'd like to add a second external monitor, but am not sure the best way to do that. It looks like the Apple TB monitors can do it natively, by daisy-chaining, but I can't afford to purchase two of those monitors. I'd prefer to use a third-party monitor like a ViewSonic 27" or some such, which are significantly more affordable.
I want to have two actual separate monitors, the way the setup they do with the Apple TB monitors appears – not two monitors that are splitting a single screen between them (as is the case with a few of the splitter-solutions I've seen linked).
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks!

I should clarify that I would prefer to do it without using a USB port to do a USB-to-HDMI conversion. I have used USB for a monitor before, and I find the lag virtually unworkable. A daisy-chaining solution, or a native splitter would be ideal.

External Monitor RGB Noise Flickering with MacBook Pro

Hi folks,
I recently bought a MacBook Pro and plugged into it an HDMI converter to DVI, so I can plug into the MBP the LCD Apple Cinema Display of 22" and have 2 monitors working or, just one while using the hardware of the MBP.
The MBP has 8 GB of RAM of 1333 MHz and an additional ATI video card of 1 GB.
So, when working with the Apple Cinema Display plugged into the MBP, some kind of fast graphic anomaly occurs, which looks like an RGB noise. And that happens in a blink, each about 5 to 10 minutes and only in the Apple Cinema Display.
I'm wondering why happens this, because I need the big screen to work. Also, the MBP costs me a lot of money (US $4000 because I live in Argentina) and we don't have here the easiness to go and buy another or change the product because of a "just in case" thing due many other implications from the actual government.
So please, let me know why this happens and if it's dangerous. I don't wish my hardware get broke because I use it to work an there are no replacements here.
Thanks,
Ø3

I ended up buying the HDMI cable and adapter for the mac and the screen quality is GREAT! It auto sets itself to 1080p. Don't use VGA. Get the HDMI cable and adapter.
Again, the horizontal lines are from me taking a picture of my monitor from my iphone.
I hope this solves your problem.

Macbook with bad display and an external monitor

Hello,
Since the Macbook's display is broken and unusable I thought I might still be able to use it as a desktop connected to an external monitor. The monitor is an Insignia 19" and I'm getting a "mode not supported" error. I've tried many different things based on what I've read in the forums. There were some suggestions that I should change the display resolution but I can't get to that point to read it.
Any ideas?
Thank you
dj

Hi dj1111,
You can try using the machine in clamshell mode to see if that works. It'll involve connecting a USB mouse & keyboard or a Bluetooth mouse & keyboard with the lid closed and the monitor connected. Given the fact that the internal display doesn't work, I'd recommend the USB option because if you have to manually pair the Bluetooth peripherals it'll be a bit trickier.
