TS1367 I have a mac book pro, 2012 and an apple monitor but the monitor keeps going off.  What is causing this?  Why won't it stay connected?

Why won't my Apple monitor stay on with my mac book pro?

I know there were many more problems 5 yrs ago with 3rd party monitors and have been some issues in between also.
Apple does have what is needed to use multiple 30 inch displays and the 5770 is pretty mainstream and standard.
It is also about the only card being sold outside ebay and a couple places in case you want to take your chances with Nvidia 8800GT 1st gen model or ATI 4870.

  • I need to use a "pause" key on windows parallel, or the fn f15 key.  I have a mac book pro 13" and only see keys upto f12.  Is there a way to do this?

    I own a mac book pro 13" and I use parallels for work and desperately need the "pause" key that used to be on my PC.  It is the equivalent of the f15 key.  My keyboard only goes up to f12 and I have looked in here and on google and can't figure it out.  doesn't anyone have ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have found the solution for myself for the above.  I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

    Some things you can try.

  • I have a mac book pro 2012 mid

    hi
    I have a mac book pro but my mates have pc and alein ware they play games i really can't get a lot of game on my mac
    Shall i sell it or keep it? it has still got it's value, i'm a gamer

    The link I gave you on my first reply will give you more information.
    As you have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, you can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 version. In both cases, you have to buy a System Builder version or a full version. You can get them at Amazon or NewEgg.
    After getting it, open Boot Camp Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow its steps. You will have to download the Windows support software, and find here the Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have boot camp 3.0, I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. I have boot camp 3.0

    Please help.  I have a Mac Book Pro ( late 2007- A1226)  that I want to install Windows 7 ultimate on.  I have boot camp 3.0 and I can set up the partition but when i click start installation, I get a black screen ( for a few seconds) then it goes to a grey window, which alternates between flashing the apple symbol and a circle with line through it.  It will do this for however long I let it go for.
    Would it be better for me to buy parallels software than keep persisting with this avenue.

    First, make sure you ONLY have the wired Apple Keyboard and wired mouse connected.
    You should have BootCamp Asst. 3.3 or 3.4 now I believe is the latest version.
    Do you have the W7 disk or ISO download version?
    When does the flashing start, after Windows 7 sets the NTFS formating and you click to install?

  • Just bought the Mac Book Pro 17" - set up all OK but the applications are only showing on a small screen size, not full screen - the background is still visible as a margin - how do I take the view to full screen corner to corner so to speak.

    Just bought the Mac Book Pro for my photography  - set up and running last night, but the user screens ie Hot Mail, safari etc.. are only half size sat on the background - I have exhausted the help and calibration log...surel this must be simple to fix...any help out there..thanks..Paul.

    Have you just moved over from WIndows?
    This is standard on Macs. The ability to see more than one window at a time. Some apps - like iPhoto, Aperture etc - have a Full Screen mode. Check out the View menu.
    Drag the lower right hand corner to resize the window.

  • I have a Mac Book pro 2007 and when I try to start, after logging in it just doesn't open.  The apple symbol shows but it seems to be frozen????

    I have a Macbook Pro from 2007 and run Mac OS Lion.  Today it froze and when I tried to restart after log in it just freezes and does not open?  Can anybody help?

    First thing to try, reboot from the Mac OS X install disk that came with your machine.  When it starts up, select your language, then choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  Select your hard drive in the list and then, in the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk (NOT Repair Disk Permissions).  If there were problems that were repaired, try rebooting again and see if the problem is gone.
    Alternately, if you have upgraded that machine to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), you can hold down command-R at startup to enter recovery mode, and then open Disk Utility from there and do the same repairs.
    Let us know what the results are for further assistance, if the problems continue after repairing.

  • I have a Mac book pro with 750 gigs of space but when I check the memory available it's telling me that I have 1.5 gigs of available space and that my scratch hard drive is full. When looking in the color code of storage it's all other consuming the space

    Ok so I have a MacBook Pro that has 750 gigs of space but I keep getting an error message that my scratch hard drive us full. When I look at the storage it's saying that I have 1.5 available gigs of space and when I dig deeper it shows that it's not video, audio or document but it's other. What can it be and what can I do about it?

    See here for answer about the OTHER which is taking up space:

    and here:

  • I have a mac book pro 2010 and when i turn it on i get the gray apple logo and a spinning wheel.

    it acts like it's going to download, but gets halfway through and turns back off. i've tried to put it in safe mode by holding the shift button down, but it wont do anything..

    Use the original installation disk and get into Disk Utility. 
    Insert the DVD in your MBP as if you will be installing the OSX. 
    When you get to a display where there is a menu bar on top, click on UTILITIES. 
    From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility.
    Op[en Disk Utility.First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    Ciao.

  • Since i updated my mac book pro OS to Yosemite 10.10.3, the start up became very slow! is this a common issue?

    I have updated my 13" MacBook Pro OS to Yosemite 10.10.3 two days ago. I immediately noticed the start up is slower than the previous version. It gives me a black screen for sometime in the beginning and then comes the apple logo. Is this a common issue?

  • Can i order a mac book pro online and pick it up in the apple store

    I live out of the states but i want to order it online and pick it up and pay in a store in the states. is that possible or do i have to buy it online and just pick it up?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I think that feature has been available in the Apple Online Store for some months. Order a MacBook in the Apple Online Store and you will be asked to pick it up at an Apple Retail Store

  • Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info?

    Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info? I certainly dont want it to be reseted by apple with my info from work, thank you very much for further response.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

    Hi,
    Check the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth setting.
    iChat needs to see a Minimum of 128kbps to do 1-1 chats in Video
    For 3 and 4 way chats it needs 384kbps
    Set the Bandwidth to 500kbps if it is set lower.
    Also check the speed you are getting from your Internet supplier.
