Unable to succcessfully connect monitor to laptop

Hi all. I received the lovely 23" W2371d monitor for Christmas. I have been unsuccessful in connecting it to my Sony laptop F series. I have installed the cd information and connected the cable to one another. Both the VGA and DVI shows no signal. Another thing that comes up is a color banner that says check video cable.  Then the monitor keeps going to sleep mode.....I'm perplexed. Any suggestions??
This question was solved.

Without a more complete model number of the Sony, it would appear that you have HDMI or VGA available.  Normally the laptop will identify when an additional monitor is connected.  Try looking in the display options of Windows 7 (Right click in an empty area of the desktop and then pick "screen resolution").  The screen in the next box will show what has been detected available for display.  Or pick the "Detect" button, it should indicate if the HP monitor is detected and the laptop display.

    I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
    I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.

    Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
    I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
    Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
    My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
    Any other suggestion?

  • Unable to connect iphone to laptop

    After updating to itunes 11.1, my iphone 5 has been unable to connect to my laptop through the USB cable. When I plug it in, a sound plays as if connected, but nothing shows up in either itunes or my computer. Before updating to itunes 11.1, my iphone was able to connect to my laptop. Only after updating and restarting the computer as recommended, did my iphone stop being able to connect.
    My laptop runs on windows 8 and iphone runs on iOS 7.
    I have tried restarting my laptop and iphone but to no avail. I am able to connect my iphone to another laptop, also running on itunes 11.1. I have tried 2 different cables to connect to my laptop and neither worked.
    Help please!
    Thanks

    Solved!
    I had to follow the following help page:

    Unplug your iphone, take a screenshot, then replug it back in. Tada! Solved.

  • I have just purchased the latest macbook pro 13 retina (late 2013). I want to connect to a Dell U2713H Monitor. As the  new macbook doesn't have a cd slot, I am unable to install the monitor drivers etc. Where can I download the drivers?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?

  • Help! I am unable to establish a connection on my laptop.

    First of all, thanks so much for your help. Here is the story: my wireless router used to work just fine (WRT54GS). There was a power outage that must have restored the settings b/c our wireless network reverted back to "linksys" and was unsecure. We were still able to establish a unsecure connection to the wireless network but my desktop couldn't. I reset the router and started over from scratch. I have connection to my desktop and all the lights on the router are back to normal but now I am unable to connect to my laptop. I played around with the basic wireless settings (swtiched up the network mode and channels etc...) but nothing doing. Anyone have any suggestions???

    Check on laptop are you able to pick the signals ....if so try to connect to it & check the connection status.........
    If shows connected ....try going online
    if not .....let me know the Ip address........

  • HT4619 can i connect a pc laptop to this monitor as a display

    Can a iMac 21.5" monitor be connected to a laptop pc ---so that the iMac is used as a screen display only, without using the iMac computer?

    This might work but I haven't tried one myself. Further research recommended.

  • I'm unable to charge my ipad2 by connecting it to laptop or desktop

    I bought a ipad 2 from US.Now i'm in India.I'm unable to charge it by connecting it to laptop or desktop

    Unless you have a high-powered USB port on your computer then it won't charge (not quickly anyway) - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.

  • UNable to connect 2nd HP laptop to Officejet Pro 8610

    I have 2 HP laptops each with Win7 (64 bit) SP1 and I am trying to connect the 2nd  laptop to an OfficeJet Pro8610 to print wirelessly.  I  have tried using the CD rom and downloading the drivers online but I cannot connect this laptop to the printer.  I reach a point where the conncection process requires the printers claim id code but when I enter the code I have a message that this code is already in use (the other laptop is connected wirelessly) and in order to connect I must delete the other laptop.  I'm at a loss here because I had connected both of the same laptops to my old OfficeJet 6700 and could print wirelessly from each without any setup issues at all. What am I missing here with the 8610??  Thanks Alkymst 

    The code you are entering is likely for setting up the ePrint email address for the printer.  Once this has been done it is not necessary to do it again.   An alternative is that the laptop is connected directly to the printer wirelessly with wireless direct.  In this case you would need to disconnect the laptop from the printer to use the other laptop.  A better setup would be to connect the printer to your router wither wirelessly or by a hardwired LAN cable.  This would give the printer an IP address that you can find by touching the printer front panel (if the printer is in sleep mode), then touch the wireless icon at the bottom of the screen.  This will bring up the wireless LAN status where you can find the IP address of the printer. You should be able to set the printer up with the driver install wizard available from http://www.hp.com/go/tools.   

  • I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot with Z10

    I am unable to fully connect to a wireless hot spot at work with my z10. We use Cisco access points. Once connected to the AP, users are redirected to https://2.2.2.2/login.html this page allows users to type a username and password and then click a button to gain full Internet access. Using the  z10 to connect to the AP  redirects me to the secure page but then throws the error:
    "Site Identity Not Verifiable"
    I then select Expand to continue and am able to add the site as an exception but then I get asecond error:
    "Unknown network error 3RFINA".
    I believe it's most likely due to the self-signed cert that the AP is using to secure the http traffic. I use to see this issue on my previous blackberry devices and playbook prior to some recent OS updates, but I am not sure what the exact fix was.  If you try to accept the error and there no prompt to install the cert as seen on my previous devices.
    I am able to connect to the same AP with my laptop, Playbook, and Bold 9900, iPod and android devices without issue. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Since the AP is not mine I am really looking for a transparent client-side solution.
    Thanks

    Same here...
    I guess the problem is invalid certificate in web authlogin page.
    Even when I add a excepetion, I still geting this same error 3RFINA.
    I remember when I had Android 1.6 I receive similar error, but when upgraded to 2.1 the errors was gone and I was able to authenticate in wifi connection here in that government build.
    Now, when I came to BB Z10, I a kind of disapointed to get same error. I now its concern by security and the guilty in that history probably is IT who admin this network for using a invalid certificate (the validation date appears in browser is a kind of funny... says its valid from 2027 to 2039)

    Hi,
    Let's begin with the following similar thread:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b651d65c-92f3-460c-b555-247acb8e6fd7/recovered-exchange-2013-arbitration-system-mailboxes?forum=exchangesvravailabilityandisasterrecovery
    It is the same error in the event log with you when moving mailboxes. And it can be resolved by recreating the mailboxes.
    Additionally, to check the network connection between two servers, I recommend you use the network monitor to catch the package.

  • VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server

    VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to
    find FLV on server
    I've spent a lot of time in the past couple of weeks trying
    to figure out what could be the problem.
    I developed a Live Streaming Flash (swf) that play fine in my
    local host with my Labtop with FMS3 Installed.I can see my live
    video in internet only when i use my laptop. What puzzled me is
    that even when i connected to Internet my Live stream and the
    dynamic playlist work perfect on my laptop but never in any other
    computer. I have tested it on several computers in different
    places, the only thing i get always is this code;

    I can't answer your question but it sounds like you have a similar problem to me, I can make the connection fine from my laptop but no other pc can connect or see the stream. Why can't someone just tell you in plain english how to ....  better still why can't Adobe actually tell you in plain english! Hope you work it out, if you do let me know please!

  • How do I stop my iPhone from connecting to the WiFi connection that my laptop just used?

    I have an iPhone (7.1.2) and MacBook Pro (10.9.4). When I connect to a WiFi connection on my laptop, my iPhone always connects to the same network, even though I've explicitly told my iPhone to forget about specific networks.This issue ends up disabling the internet on my iPhone, as I often connect to networks on my laptop that require VPN connections, logins, etc that I am unable or unwilling to do on my iPhone. How do I keep the two separate?

    Let me give you an example. I'm at a United lounge at O'Hare Airport right now. They have WiFi here but it requires that you log on in order to connect to the internet. I connect to WiFi from my laptop. All good. Then, immediately, my iPhone connects to the same network. But because I haven't logged on from my iPhone, I can't get online. This kills the internet on my iPhone because I'm connected to a network with no internet access. If on my iPhone I "Forget this Network" and then come back next week, I'll find that it connects to the exact same network.
    I travel a lot and almost all of the networks I use on a daily basis require a login of some sort.
    I could turn off WiFi but then I have to remember to turn it on when I actually do want to connect to a network, like when I'm at home.
    Any idea how to prevent the mirroring of WiFi connections? Or at a minimum make sure the "Forget this Network" option actually works?

  • My ipod wont connect to my laptop but it will to others, and other peoples will connect to mine

    I can connect my ipod touch 3rd gen to other laptops, and my car/wall chargers, but it will not connect to my own laptop,
    However other ipods (a4th generation touch) will connect to my laptop and show up in itunes etc.
    What should i do

    - Did you do anything to it before the problem started?
    - Have you tried resetting it:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - you could try placing the iPod in recovery mode and the try restoring it.  However, it you computer can't see the iPod there is nothing you can do except restore it on another computer.  It willbe erased.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Accessing MXI Connection Monitor Programmatically

    The MXI-4 (PXI-8336) User Manual states that you can "programmatically retrieve data about the link, chassis, and modules you have installed."  I have two PXI-1042 chassis bridged together using PXI-8336 cards, and I would like be able to detect if the link is broken between the chassis.  I see the device "MXI-4 Connection Monitor "PXI13::9::1::INSTR" in MAX, but the only attribute I can see is "Bridge Retransmit Count" (another useful piece of info for error checking).  There doesn't seem to be any utility in NI-VISA to access this information--am I missing something, or maybe this info is kept in registers?
    Bottom line, I would like to generate an error in my LabVIEW code if the link is lost between the chassis.  Obviously, if this happens, I would get other errors related to the instruments in the downstream chassis, but it would be useful to be able to detect if the fiber optic cable was broken or disconnected.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Marcus,
    I have a PXI-8108 real-time embedded controller in "Chassis 1" with a PXI-8336 MXI-4 pair extending the PCI bus to "Chassis 2".  LabVIEW Real-Time 10.0 and NI-VISA 5.0 are installed on the controller.  I am running a real-time executable and using a laptop to display the remote front panel in a browser.
    Unfortunately, I discovered today that if I lose the link between the chassis, the controller disconnects and my application stops.  Presumably this is due to the PCI bus taking issue with losing half of its devices...
    So monitoring the link is a moot point.  However, "Bridge Retransmit Count" might still be useful to keep tabs on the health of the bridge or the connection itself.  I just don't see any way programmatically to access this info, even though I see it in MAX.
    Thanks
