When I uncheck "mirror displays" my laptop color changes badly

I have a new Vizio external monitor connected via HDMI and thunderbolt adapter to my Macbook Pro (2013) (10.9.5). In System Preferences, when I am mirroring displays all is well. But when I uncheck "Mirror Displays", the color on my laptop drastically changes. All of a sudden it's heavily orange and blue, although the color on my monitor is unchanged either way. Thoughts? Help!

Hello jmanf77,
The article linked below details how to go about calibrating your MacBook Pro's display after you've disabled mirroring.

I'm using an eMac power cord on an iMac G5 and the screen is a blue tinted color. No true colors are displayed.

I just realized I was using an eMac powercord on my G5 iMac.
Make a difference at all? Does it screw up my computer?
I have a weird screen problem anything to do with this?

I can't see how that would make a difference. But use the proper power cord for the iMac, if you have it.
To see if this is software or settings related, if you have a way to boot from a different system, such as a Mac OS X installation disk, start up from that other system and see if you still have the "blue tinted color."
If the problem recurs, you should do these two procedures to Reset PRAM and Reset SMU, to see if there is any improvement

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1767
When you do the Reset SMU procedure, if you have been connecting the power cord to an old or over-crowded power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it to a wall outlet by itself, to see if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, there may be a hardware-related problem.

Hello Victoria,
It sounds like you are connecting your MacBook Pro with your television, but you are not getting additional options for your external display.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display. I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the following article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

Exception color can not display at another key figure in BEx query desinger

I have a report requirement, the user want to display the average price on each month ,such as:
Jan.   Feb. Mar. Apr. etc.
100    105    104   95   ....
and the user want to compare each other months with Jan's price.
they want to display the exception color when the rise or down rate greater or less than 5%.
Now ,I can only change the output structure such as:
Jan. Feb. Rate2-1                 Mar. Rate3-1                 etc.
100   105   (105-100)/100=5% 104    (104-100)/100=4% ....
Now I can set Exception on the formula Rate2-1 Rate3-1....
But the Exception color can only display on Rate2-1,Rate3-1...
and Not the Keyfigure Feb. Mar...
I am using the BI 7.0 and the new Query Designer.
Who can help me to solve this question .
Thanks.
Yours Youming.Zhao

Hi,
its simply not supported for BEx Analyzer. Exception reporting on another key figure is only possible for Web Reporting.
Check this actual SAP Help Link:

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Mirrored Display. How to sleep MBP display without closing LID to keep the machine vented?

I just got my hands on a 15" MBP and I currently have a third party Display that I have connected to my Display output port. Mirrored display, and tried the clamshell mode but machine got quite hot by running in it that way. I was wondering if there is any way to keep the lid open while the mirrored mode on the external Display still runs?
Also, if there are any third party software that does give me flexibility as to which display to sleep and such, and at least have control over the display output options, that would be a gem. Appreciate it if anyone has that info?
Thanks a lot for taking time to help! Happy holiday and a great year to come for all!
Miles of smiles,
Jimbo

Captfred,
I've tried what the article suggests but it only seems to work if you want to wake the computer when it is sleeping or the screen saver is on.
What I am trying to find out is how to start the computer when it is turned off without having to open it. I would imagine that there would be some key combination on the keyboard or perhaps a way to program the on/off button on the side of the Apple external display to do that.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

Apple TV Mirror display issue

I am currently using a 3rd Gen Apple TV with a late 2013 iMac. I can connect to AirPlay display and it automatically connects to "extended display" and the TV screen goes black however I get no options to use as a secondary display. When I click "Mirror display" nothing happens. I have tested on a later Macbook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone 5 and everything works fine. Both computers are up to date and using OS X Yosemite.

Hello andrewels,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with AirPlay Mirroring. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

The Arrangement tab only appears in System Preferences Displays pane if a second display is recognized by the system (the OS). So it seems like your MacBook is not seeing the TV as being connected.
Describe the video connection between MacBook and TV... What type of video out port does your MacBook model have? How is it converted to the type of port used on the TV?

Mirror display no menu bar

Hello,
I have a mac mini with no thunderbolt port. I am using DVI to monitor and HDMI to HDTV for a mirror display. The TV does not show the menu bar at the top of the screen. The TV does not have any size adjustment options. The underscan option in system preference is greyed out. The menu bar does show on the monitor What do I need to do on the mac mini to get the menu bar to show on the TV?
Scott

With what is Happening, & I don't know why since I do not have the same equipment & circumstances, is to use Extended Displays & change the monitor that has the Menubar before they move one, another possibility if you can't get warning is to set up an Admin user for each Monitor situation.

Need mirrored display for harddrive erase

I am trying to erase my hard drive in order to get rid of it. My laptop screen is broken (parts are blacked out and entire screen goes black). I have it hooked to an external monitor with that monitot being the default and the mirrored display option checked. However, when I put in the installation disk and hit c to start the erasing process, only the Macbook monitor works. This doesn't help me because I cannot see the options. Any advice on how to keep the external monitor on mirrored display? It seems to jump to extended because I can see a background but nothing else. When I do a hard shut down and turn back on, the mirrored option is back working. I am stumped.

In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The monitor will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it.

"Mirror Displays" Problem

I just bought the new Mac Mini with 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, and 256MB video memory. It´s connected to a Samsung 1080 40inch TV using mini DisplayPort to DVI to HDMI connection and a Dell 24WFP monitor using a mini DVI to DVI connection.
When I´m in extended screen mode it all works fine but when I turn on "Mirror displays" it cuts off about 20 pixels on top and below on my TV and squeezes the image into a 16:9 ratio on my 16:10 dell monitor. Mac detects both displays and sets their resolutions correctly.
If I switch and try the mini displayport for my dell monitor and the mini DVI for my TV, the TV works fine but the same 16:9 squeeze happens on the dell monitor.
I feel it has something to do with converting the Mini DisplayPort signal into DVI but that´s just a guess.
Apple sure don´t make it easy.

Hi C,
When you go to System Preferences > Displays there is no setting for Arrangement or Mirror???
Note that when you have an external display attached, there are two windows, one for the built in display and one for the external. I suppose it's possible they look like one window. Drag them apart and you should be able to see the settings.

Until external monitor update, how to mirror display?

What is the preferred method of mirroring FCP X on an HDMI monitor? I would assume that I need a thunderbolt to HDMI cable? Then what?
Cheers.
Tom

System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement. Then click the Mirror Displays checkbox...

Mirror Display Before Install?

Is there certain buttons i can press to mirror screens before the actual install?

Command-F1 should do that.
