VGA monitor won't show pages selected on air book

I Have a VGA monitor connected to my Air Book. It will not show cursor or other pages.

Hey GisGeorge,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your external display may be configured to extend the desktop, as opposed to mirroring your screen. For information on these two options, check out the following resource:

  • My lumix camera won't show on my mac air

    My lumix camera won't show on my mac air when I plug it in, what can I do about this?

    Open iPhoto on your MacBook Air.  Hopefully you have the latest iPhoto version which is 9.4.2.
    Go to Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar).  Choose the "General" tab, and then "Connecting camera opens".  Set it to iPhoto.
    Exit iPhoto.  Connect your camera.  See if that helps.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - External VGA monitor does not show any output

    I have bought this device as used from ebay. It is working fine except that the External VGA connection does not work. I am using win 7 and have it does recognize the external display correctly and I can configure it as an extended display. However the external display does not show anything. The external VGA monitor is fine as it works with other Laptop machines. I have tried using UBUNTU Live CD on this machine and tried to make the external display work (and it can also recongize the external display and configure it) but there is no picture. I also connected the external display to the vga port and then re-booted the machine but still no picture. I have tried changing the bios settings for the display as well but all my actions point to a hardware fault.
    I am not sure if it is a manufacturing fault ? Do you know if this issue has been reported earlier to you. Is there a product recall issued for this?
    Please advise as I need to connect this external display but am sure that it is a hardware fault with your device.

    Hi buddy,
    Have you already tested it with factory settings? I mean the preinstalled Windows from Toshiba with all drivers and tools. If you have the Toshiba recovery disk you should boot from this disk and install Windows with all drivers and tools.
    Furthermore you can switch between external and internal monitor using FN+F5 key combination. Does this work?

  • My Samsung monitor won't show image with G5??

    HAD a 2004 G5 with the ADC (or ACD?) card and Apple Display and everything worked fine when using a VGA to DVI connector and connected my small Samsung monitor. I could do dual monitor. Now I sold the G5 and bought a late 2005 model with the normal DVI connections on the card and when I used the VGA to DVI connector, I get a black screen from the Samsung. Im lost as to why it would do this? I connected to a nice Samsung with DVI and it worked, but I don't understand why It wont work on my first Samsung via VGA to DVI? Help!

    thanks

  • VGA output signal is present but my VGA monitor won't display it --- why?

    When I connect the iPad to a Samsung SyncMaster 570STFT display (with the Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter) and try to play a movie, the audio plays and the image on the iPad is not updated (which I would expect, since it's supposed to be playing on the external VGA), but the monitor reports "Video mode not supported" (which is what it says when the display resolution is out of range).
    I've verified that the monitor works fine at iPad resolution (by plugging it into a Mac Mini and confirming that it is operating at 1024x768).
    Is there something unusual about the iPad's VGA output that is incompatible with some displays? Has anybody else run into this problem?

    Scan rate and frame rate are different item. VGA is analogue and is based on CRT in which the electron gun scan the phosphors on the screen. Frame rate, as you seem to know, is how many screens there are per second.
    If you look at the properties of your video what does it say. Does it play on your iPad?
    The tech specs for the iPad say the following. Note that it says:
    "640 by 480 pixels" for MPEG-4
    TV and video
    Support for 1024 by 768 pixels with Dock Connector to VGA Adapter; 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable
    H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • Reader won't recognize pages selected to print

    Using Reader (11.0.04.63) on a MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.1), I am unable to print my auto ID cards downloaded from USAA.  They appear fine in the print dialog box.  When I select "all" then hit print, Reader gives me dialoge box saying it cannot print this file.  Subsequent dialog box says no pages were selected.
    I have re-downloaded the file 3 times.  Renamed the file.  Saved it to the hard drive.  Printing as an image is greyed out, not an option.  I am able to print other PDF files normally.

    I've moved your question to the Reader forum (you posted for Reader for iPad/iPhone).

  • HT203433 I bought a iBook and the first 6 chapters say they have an error? Won't show pages?

    I bought an iBook and once it downloaded it was missing the first 6 chapters
    It says
    Error on line 1 at column 1
    Document is empty error
    Encoding error
    My iPad 2 is up do date
    Not sure what went wrong or how to recover the chapters?

    Have you tried deleting the book and re-downloading it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app ? If it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Lexar flash drive won't show up on Macbook Air?

    I've been using my Lexar Twist turn flash drive on my Macbook Air for a while now and it has been working perfectly. The last time I've used it without trouble was around May - June. Just recently I plugged my flash drive in and it didn't pop up... as if nothing was inserted. I've plugged it into my PC as well and it worked fine. I've tried checking the disk utility but it didn't show up in there either. Help.
    My Macbook Air is an OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 if that helps...

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plists to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plists to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. 

  • Keynote 6.0 won't show on second monitor

    I have update to Mavericks and Keynote 6.0.  I'm on a 15 inch Early 2011 MacBook Pro, and connected to a LG Display via VGA through the Apple VGA adapter.  When I try to play a slideshow, it only shows on the Mac Book Pro with the Presenter display behind it.  I tried clicking the switch monitors thing, but that does nothing except get rid of the Presenter display behind the show.  I hit the 'x' key to get the presenter display back.  I looked in preferences and other places, but I do not see a seting to show the show oon the other monitor.  The Apple help files are no help at all.  The weird thing that happens, is that I can drag the keynote app to the second monitor and hit "play" and it will work with the presenter display on the second monitor and the show on the MacBBook Pro.   Hitting 'x' gives the desired result, but when connecting to our projection system, or monitor, we do not want the app on the second monitor.  For what it's wooth, Power Point does work (Office 2011) as desired.  My question is; How do I fix Keynote to work properly?

    I was teaching my first class post-Mavericks upgrade and was having a fit finding out, in front of my class of 33 graduate students, that my projection set-up wasn't working. I had read something about getting rid of the menu bar on a secondary display in Mavericks and decided to try it. Since then, I've also read that assigning Keynote to all desktops, with the "Displays have separate spaces" box checked, might also do the trick, but I won't have a chance to test this until Monday afternoon. Glad you got it working!

  • Trying to print a document from Pages, when I go to print it won't let me select the document.  It is grey and I can't click it.  What should I do?

    Trying to print a document from Pages, when I go to print it won't let me select the document.  It is grey and I can't click it.  What should I do?

    I'm not clear on how you're trying to print. When you select Print from the file menu in Pages the current document is already selected. Perhaps you need to show the details in the print dialog. The first screenshot is from Mountain Lion the second from an earlier OS where you click the blue down-facing triangle button (sorry, I can't remember which one).

  • How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

    how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages?  it worked for a while and now it doesn't.  printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

    I would suspect this is a hardware issue.  The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media.  You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel.  Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

  • Mac Mini Won't Boot with VGA Monitor Connected

    I have a new Mac Mini connected to an older VGA monitor using the Apple brand VGA adapter.  The mini is fully up to date and runs perfectly when booted.  However, if I reboot the mini with the VGA monitor connected, it fails to boot.  I just hear the faint chime sound every other second.  There is no output to the monitor and the only way I can get it to boot is to disconnect the monitor and then power cycle the mini.  I can reconnect the monitor just seconds after powering back on and it finishes booting properly.
    Anyone else experience this?  It is very frustrating.  I've also tested with an HDMI connected monitor (without the VGA adapter) and it boots just fine and the display works properly.
    Thanks!

    Okay, I'm back with good news: I have found two remedies for the problem which will hopefully solve it for you as well.
    Given that the issue only occurs when certain monitors are connected, I concluded that the root of it must be a bug in the Mac's firmware related to DDC (Display Data Channel) handling, and that the most promising way to address it should be to just disable the DDC.
    Workaround #1: If your monitor has BNC connectors, use a VGA to BNC cable.
    In this configuration the DDC pins are not connected to the monitor at all. This did indeed fix the problem - my Mac mini booted without a problem with the monitor connected. However, I was not completely satisfied with this solution, because VGA to BNC cables are usually quite heavy and inflexible, and do no go together well with Apple's MDP to VGA adapter and the Mini Displayport/Thunderbolt port which has no locking mechanism.
    Workaround #2: Remove pin 12 of the VGA plug.
    Pin 12 of the VGA plug connects the serial data line of the DDC. Pulling out this pin with a pair of needle nose pliers will effectively disable DDC. I hesitated to do this to my cable (a direct MDP to VGA cable which eliminates the need for a separate adapter dangling from the Mac) and therefore bought a tiny VGA male to female adapter (also called port saver, e.g. Delock 65250) to perform the surgery on that. This has done the trick and my Mac mini has started up fine ever since.
    Of course, without DDC the Mac won't know the model name and capabilities of the attached monitor and thus offer some resolution and frequency settings which the monitor may not support, but that's a small drawback compared to having to pull out the monitor cable everytime you turn on or restart your Mac.

  • Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

    Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
    Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
    Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
    Hello,
    I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
    I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
    The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
    and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
    The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
    Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
    thanks for any help.
    Val in Seattle

    Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
    Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
    Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.
