Until external monitor update, how to mirror using thunderbolt?

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.

  • 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?

    Try Function F1

  • Is every external monitor compatible with mac via a thunderbolt to vga cable

    Is every external monitor compatible with macbook air via thunderbolt to vga??????/

    Yes if the monitor has a VGA D-Sub input port.
    Otherwise you'll need a TB to Whatever The Input of The Monitor Is adapter. Could be DVI or HDMI.

  • I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

    I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work.  It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

    There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
    You can activate by telephone:

  • I have Mountain Lion OS Install CD downloaded onto my external hard drive, how do I use this to upgrade from Leopard

    Current computer that I just bought used is operating on Leopard 10.5.8
    I have Mountain Lion OS X CD installation files downloaded on my external hard drive from another Mac that I have owned.
    How do I use my external HD to download and Install Mountain OS X wizard.
    Is the only way to do this to buy a copy of snow leopard and then once upgrading to that, plug in my external HD and then access the Mtn install file as I would if I had the installation CD?
    When I try to access the install file from my external HD, i get to the installation window and then when I am to select a hard drive to install it on I receuve a red exclamation mark error that says it can not be written to the HD. Why is this? Because I'm not on snow leopard but rather leopard?

    As you have the installer on a DVD, you can do a trick that consists in formatting the hard drive, and then, install Mountain Lion.
    First, make a backup of your files with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 I recommend Time Machine because it will be easier to restore your files later.
    Then, insert the DVD with Mountain Lion and hold the C key while your Mac is starting, so you will see a window with different options. Open Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the drive.
    After erasing the drive, you can install Mountain Lion. Close Disk Utility and install it. During the initial setup, it will ask you to restore your files, so plug the external drive with the backup and follow its steps. Note that PowerPC apps aren't compatible

  • Audio levels on an external monitor vary during playback when using HDMI audio

    I've been having issues with movie playback using a large 1080p HDMI TV.   During playback the audio level will come in strong, go faint, then go strong again, but not on any sort of pattern I could discern.   It did this on three seperate movies legally purchased via iTunes.  I get audio and video without trouble, its just the audio goes soft when it shouldn't.
    If you remember the VHS days and "MACROVISION" encoding, then you have an idea what it was doing, although it was the audio levels, not the video playback.
    Is this a fault of the system, a DRM gremlin, or something else?

    I think you may be onto something with the graphics card concept. The problem I am having only exists when I am working on an HD project. When I switched back to DV-NTSC then the monitor is fine during playback.
    Yes, I am routing my external monitor through my DV deck, which is not an HD deck - so again, that could be another weak link in the chain.
    This is the first HD project that I am editing, so obviously a few kinks still need to be worked out. My internal hard drive has 1.5 gigs of ram but I am not sure what the specs are on the graphics card.

  • Turbo tax says i need ie6 or higher to update. how can i use firefox

    turbo tax says it requires internet explorer 6 or higher to download updates. even if i use a different browser, i need ie6. do you have a solution how i can use firefox ? I don't want ie anything

    You can't. As the-edmeister said it has to do with ActiveX controls. When you go to MS's Updates page it scans for the ActiveX control. If you don't have it you can't update any MS program.
    Just another way MS keeps annoying people.

  • 2 monitors on MacBook Pro (Retina) using Thunderbolt and HDMI ports?

    I would like to buy a MacBook Pro with a Retina display.  I want to attach 2 external monitors and Ethernet.  I need to use one Thunderbolt port to attach to my (wired) ethernet.
    Can I attach 2 monitors to a MacBook Pro (Retina) using
    1) a mini display port to DVI adapter
    2) a HDMI to DVI adapter?

    Yes, it is possible to run 3 monitors at once on the Retina MacBook Pro (2 connected over Thunderbolt and one over  HDMI).
    Displays used in picture below:
    Retina on laptop @ “best for Retina”
    iMac used as a display @ 2560 x 1440 via Thunderbolt
    iMac used as a display @ 2560 x 1440 via Thunderbolt/DisplayPort
    LG monitor @ 1920 x 1200 via HDMI
    Hope this answers your question.

  • I currently use a Samsung TV with an Apple TV to duplicate my MacBook Pro monitor.  How can I use this system as a extended (not mirror) monitor?

    Does anyone have a solution that allows me to use a Samsung TV connected via the AppleTV to my MacBook Pro as an extended (not mirror) monitor? 
    Thanks.

    I would recommend upgrading your laptop. Does your current laptop have an HDMI port? If so, connect your Mac to your TV with an HDMI cable. Your TV must be compatible, if it is, you will have to understand that it will be no where near the quality of AirPlay.

  • How do I set the default external monitor setting to NOT mirror displays?

    Greetings folks. I take my Lion macbook all over the place, and frequently plug into projectors to present. I NEVER mirror my display, and always use the projector and on-screen displays as separate displays, yet when you plug in a new projector to the MacBook Air (or MBP) it always defaults to "Mirror Displays" in the arrangement tab. Is there a way to change that to NEVER default to mirror displays?

    I've tried that, and then created my installer, but it defaults back to having auto update checked, or in the ON position. I want it to default to being OFF so any new installs or upgrades that I send out do not turn it back on.
    We manage all computers here, and do not want users doing any updates.

  • How do I use an external monitor with my MacBook??

    Hi,
    I recently purchased my MacBook, but when I am at home, I want to be able to use my MacBook like a normal computer, by plugging a keyboard, mouse and my existing LCD monitor to it.
    What do I need to purchase to enable this and what system settings do I need to adjust to get my monitor to work?
    Could I have my laptop closed while i am using my external monitor? How do I do this? I don't want my MacBook open, while I am using my monitor!! Can someone please give me a simple step by step guide on how to turn on and use my laptop which my external monitor plugged in.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Can you read it ? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3510076&#3510076
    Shortly,yes,if your Display connected,just close it and than click the mouse it'll wake up in external display.

  • How do you change the size of an external monitor?

    If I plug my mac into my Samsung monitor and mirror the image it enlarges the image on the Samsung monitor. How do I make it so it is the same resolution of my mac.

    That is how mirrored mode works. Your computer screen, including resolution, is mirrored to your external monitor. So what ever the resolution of your computer screen this is the resolution you will get on your external monitor.
    Turn off mirrored mode and use extended display. When using extended display you can set your computer and external monitor screen resolutions independently. So each can be using its native resolution for best results on each.

  • Can I use an external monitor in portrait mode?

    I do not yet own a Mac, but I am doing up-front research to know what to expect.
    I currently have a Samsung 204T LCD monitor (DVI) which allows rotating the display into portrait mode.
    I know that OS X supports using an external monitor to extend or mirror the desktop. Can an external monitor be configured for operating in portrait mode? I would expect that this requires the video driver to rotate the display before sending it to the monitor.

    I will leave this answer to my original question.
    I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
    question."
    So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
    It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
    So, I went and bought it!!
