Thunderbolt port is heat/hot with VGA Adapter - Led TV

Hello guys
I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, not retina display.
I bought almost 1.5 year ago the VGA adapter, it works through the Thunderbolt port.
I used to work with a monitor of 15.6 inch, how a secondary screen to watch webinars, video, programming etc...
Just some weeks ago I bought a Led TV 42 inch
I did realise that after some hours, 2-4 the left part of the Mac, where the thunderbold port is located, is heat/hot, more than the ususal, this behavior never happened with the previous small monitor..
It is normal? The fan do not emit a special sound indicating they are working...it is always quite silent since the first day I bought the Mac..
I remember a day when I did an upgrade of the OSX from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 that when the Mac has restarted the fan did a strong sound how indicating or testing themselves
What I should do?. Should I ignore the heat or I should work with this software smcFanControl, popular according with Google when I did a research to let me change explicitly the fan speed.
Thanks in advance by your support.

How hot is hot? Install istat menus:

When your MBP gets hot, open the application and take a screen shot of the temperatures and fan speeds. Post for inspection.
Ciao.

Mac book pro Retina is not working with vga adapter to video projector

I want to connet to video projectors, With vga adapter i can't connect to the video projector and also my mouse will not work properly, it becomes very slow and I can't work it.

External Display only with VGA Adapter working

Hello, I'm german so sorry for my bad english
After updating to Leopard 10.5.2 and installation of the Leopard Graphic Update, my external Display isn't working with DVI anymore. If I plug it in, my desktop flashes and I also get the monitor information tab of my external Display (Name and Settings correct). But the Screen stays black as in power saving mode. If I use the DVI -> VGA Adapter, everything works fine...
Could that Problem be realted to the new Updates?
I've also checked every hint of that Forum (PRAM reset, deleting Preference Files, trying to boot with closed MBP, ...), nothing worked for me. The Problem also occurs in Bootcamp! The external Display is recognized fine, but will not display any image, only if I use the Adapter.

According to Apple support, it is "expected behaviour" under Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid, even if you want to use only your external display. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
This is despite:
- the obvious temperature-related benefits that were achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to a 27" cinema display
- the waste of energy and inefficient use of graphics processing power in needlessly running two active screens (ie if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy)
- the negative longer-term impact on the battery and other components from running the MBP hotter than it needs to be.
If you would like to have the previous behaviour restored, please consider lobbying Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode. Options available to Apple include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences.

Any issues connecting the new MacBook to LCD projector with VGA adapter?

I do presentations on the road using my old MacBook with whatever LCD I find when I get there. I run Keynote with lots of video clips in my presentations. I carry a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. Most often it works fine.
I was hoping to update to the new MacBook, but I'm concerned about the display issues on the discussion board.
Has anyone had any experience connecting the new MacBook using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter?

I received my MB (aluminium) 2.0 in early November, but only this week (2nd week December) have had a need to use it for a presentation via the Mini DisplayPort --> VGA adapter.
I thought I could use it just as I did my previous (white 1.83 MacBook) laptop, but this one is a bit quirkier. Plugging in the adapter cable results in a system freeze. Unplugging the cable will restore mouse control (unfreezing the computer) in most instances, but not all.
Turns out that in order to use an external VGA connection, I need to have the adapter plugged in and restart the machine. If the external display is not present from boot, then it freezes.
This is unlike my previous MacBook, in which I could plug-unplug willy-nilly. The screen would flash blue a couple of times and all would be fine, with the external extended display detected and functioning. This was one of those nice "Mac" things that my Windows-using colleagues were somewhat jealous of, as they constantly have trouble getting their laptops to recognize the LCD projector.
Sadly, it looks like I'm now living in their world...

Mini display with vga adapter and vga multiplier

running into problems with the mbp using a mini display adapter to vga and a vga multiplier. no signal at the projector. is there any difference between a vga signal from a pc and a vga signal from apple's mini display adapter to vga? ie. bandwidth, resolution, etc.... would upgrading to a new os ('lion') help in this problem? many thanks

Hi Guys,
Checked the mini display with Dell flat monitor and Samsung LCD tv , works perfect. The VGA port of my old monitor is not in good condition.

Resolution with VGA adapter!

Hi all! I've got a MacBook Pro with Lion and i had bought an adapter to VGA for use my screen whose resolution is 1680x1050. The problem is the next:
Preferences panes only shows me how max. resolution in monitor 1920x1080 but my screen don't accept it. It shows 1600x1200 and the next is 1920x1080. There are any solution for use my screen's resolution?
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks

Give > Display Menu from the App Store a try.
I run Dual 21.5" Samsungs at 1920 x 1080 on my Mac Mini, but with Display Menu I see 1600 x 900 60.0 Hz

IPad with VGA Adapter Problems

Does any one have any clue how to get the ipad to transmit video when hooked up to VGA (via its adapter). Yes all connections were fine, in keynote and presentation in play mode. Help urgently needed! THanks!!

Hi Guys,
I don't know if someone mentioned this before but if you watch the iPad launch video of Steve Jobs' presentation it sure looked like he was mirroring his screen during the presentation.......I think that is why so many of us believed that the iPad WOULD be functioning the same way in are hands.
Sooooo either Steve and crew orchestrated a hoax by simulating a screen mirror functionality (which I do not believe) OR that functionality IS available and will be part of an OS upgrade in the future. I know, I know...if that were true why not just make the mirror capability immediately available? Who knows, but watching Jobs use the iPad on stage made me believe we could do the same.
I tried to use mine today with little luck. I hooked it up to a digital projector. I have successfully used this projector with my MACBook Air in the past. When I plugged in my iPad and turned it on the projector showed NO sign of recognizing my iPad. I opened Keynote to my slide presentation, still NO response. I re-checked the cable, still NO response. I exited Keynote; HOWEVER, I don't believe that I ever tried the full screen presentation mode so it may have worked. I will Try it again.
I then tried to play some movies. I had movies I ripped as well as iTunes downloaded movies. I first tried a movie I ripped.....amazingly the projector recognized something was attached for the first time and started playing the movie! Then I tried The Matrix (downloaded from iTunes). The projector would ONLY show a still from the movie and a message appeared on my iPad screen stating
"This machine is not authorized to play this content"
When I disconnected the cable the movie was able to play on my iPad....reconnect the VGA....the movie froze and the message reappeared.
I also agree that the connector is not that stable. Older iPod cables used to 'lock' in place and needed you to depress two buttons on the cable to remove it. That would be very handy here BUT it would increase the risk of damaging the unit if the cable were kicked.
Thanks
Joe

1 Thunderbolt port using 2 devices

Hi.
I have 17 inch Macbook Pro with 1 Thunderbolt port. Currently i have an connected an external monitor through thunderbolt port. ( mini Display to VGA Adapter)
Now I want to connect an external hardisk that has a thunderbolt port ?
How do I do this?
Thanks

By daisy chaining. Does the external HDD have a pass-through (second) Thunderbolt port? If so, then connect it first to the computer then connect another Thunderbolt cable from the external drive to the monitor.

2nd Monitor Connected Via DVI to VGA Adapter is Blurry

I have a G4 dual 1.42 GHz (the last G4 model) and have an Apple 20" Cinema Display connected to the ADC port and a 21" CRT monitor connected to the DVI port via the DVI to VGA adapter supplied with the G4.
The CRT monitor display is blurry. I have tweaked display settings in System Preferences and the monitor's controls and nothing helps. I used this monitor in a dual monitor setup on a Power Mac 9600/300 and it was razor sharp, so I know that the monitor is okay. I could pull a display card from the old Power Mac 9600 since it's not being used anymore, but I hate to add another card to the G4 because of the heat problems. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm wondering, is it to be expected that the monitor connected to the DVI port via the DVI to VGA adapter won't look anywhere near as good as if it were connected to a separate graphics card? Thanks.

Problems share with VGA second display screen

Dear Guys ,

My thunderbolt port is being HOT and the external hard drive doesn't work with this port! Can anybody help me?

I connected my new thunderbolt external hard drive to my MacBook Pro for a while, after that I notice that the hard not working and the thunderbolt cable in the side of MacBook pro is hot in touching! It works with it's USB 3 cable, but after normal temp in thunderbolt cable, it's not working!

X220 Trackpad curser movement with Ethernet plugged in and with VGA connected to projector

Thre are many issues discussed about trackpad problem. My problem comes in the trackpad when X220 is connected to Ethernet port. The curser is not stable and it jumps aout 1/2 cm right and left withlout any figer movement, It vibrates on its own when only finger is placed on the touchpad. This does not happen when Ethernet port is diconnected even with 90w adapter or 65w adapter plugged in. It comes with Ethernet only.
The same preoblem comes again when VGA port is connected to Projector. In my case problm has no affect with any power adapter.(90 or 65 w) plugged in.
This is so problametc that simple tasks of selection is delayed or wrong selection is made.
Need Help/Solution anyone.

Does dvi to vga adapter change resolution

I had this hooked up to my tv and watched video from had drive. I shut down computer one evening, the next day turned i on, and picture is blurred, and can't see anything---maybe a resolution problem but can't see to change it. bought a new adapter, same thing. I hooked up to another tv, without vga adapter and seems to be fine, hookeed back up to tv with vga adapter, still no picture.

Hello,
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), see if you can set a good rez there.

I have an 11" MacBook Air. When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer. Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter? (It works with my MacBook Pro)

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

Hall Palm Desert,
if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

Thunderbolt port is heat/hot with VGA Adapter - Led TV
