Windows 8 Bootcamp Does Not Recognize External Monitor

So, my Bootcamp of Windows 8 does not recognize my external monitor when I try to plug it in. I have read that the startup must recognize the monitor during the boot process. However, I have already done this and my external monitor remains in sleep mode. My drivers are all up to date with this bootcamp and I work on programming a lot so I need a solution for this issue because going back and forth between windows of the internet and my code is not ideal for me and wastes too much time. The external monitor works when I run my OS X, just not on Windows 8. If anyone could point me in the direction of how to solve this issue, it would be greatfully appreciated.

They're downloadable. But I'm going to create a system restore point in case something happens.
The below discussion had a similar issue but with Windows 7

  • Macbook does not recognize external monitor

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook and I tried to connect an external Benq FP93GW using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter but the external monitor does not detect any signal.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    You might read this post of someone who couldn't get his external display to be recognized until he reset the MacBook's SMC (System Management Controller).
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9351216#9351216
    This thread also has some other details on trying to workaround color issues on the external display but it was a reset of the SMC that finally allowed the MacBook to recognize the display. However, Apple cautions that a reset of the SMC should only be done after other options or possibilities have been exhausted. Before you try a reset of the SMC you might want to try a reset of the MacBook's PRAM.
    Here is a link to Apple's support article on resetting the SMC:

  • Windows 10 does not recognize the Monitor as PnP

    Windows 10 has my FT220 HQL touch monitor listed as "generic" and limits the resolution.  Windows 7 recognized the monitor and offred the highest resolution the monitor supports.  The resolution in Windows 10 is very poor and it limits the resolution.  I went through the initial start up procedure as described in the Quick Guide, but it did not help.  The auto Adjust does not improve it either.   I do not see win 10 drivers on the web site.  Is this the problem?  Why doesn't win 10 recognize the monitor?  How do I correct?

    I downloaded the win 8 drivers from the Acer site, but they would not load.  I had a chat with an Acer support person which was useless.  I just revered to windows 7 (easy option in 10), and full function is restored.  I'll check the Acer site from time to time and wait for a win 10 driver.  My Windows 10 upgrade button is still showing, and a copy is reserved.  Thanks for the response.

  • IMac does not recognize external monitor using Mini Display Port to HDMI

    Hello,
    I have been trying to get an external monitor (HDTV) set up for use with my iMac using a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable I just got. However, when I connect it to my iMac's mini display port, the imac's screen goes black for about a second, then returns, but it does not detect the external display. The other display is just showing a "no signal" message on the screen.
    I have restarted, reset PRAM, connected and disconnected the cable several times, tried changing the resolution on the imac, plugged in/out the other display, and clicked the "detect displays" button using the option key in display preferences, but nothing has worked.
    I am using an early 2009 iMac running Mavericks.
    I've been using the AirParrot app, but it's horrible for video and a little slow.
    Can anyone please help sort the issue here? I feel like ive exhausted everything that I know to do.
    Thanks.

    I am having the same issue.  Hope Apple can fix this soon!!!

    Windows 7 does not recognize my device so I can't sync to iTunes. I tried running MSCONFIG, reinstalling iTunes and various different cables, usb ports. Any other suggestions?

    Does the iPod appear in Device Manager when it is connected?
    To access device manager, click Start and then right->click on Computer and choose Manage.
    It might be listed as unknown or under the USB host controllers section.

  • MacBook Pro does not sense external monitor (Panasonic HDTV in my case) via thunderbolt-HDMI connection...Is update 10.8.3 helping anyone?

    My MacBook Pro (newest model in 2013 so far) does not sense external monitor (Panasonic HDTV in my case) via thunderbolt-HDMI connection...Is update 10.8.3 helping anyone else who has this issue? I returned my multiple HDMI adapters after figuring out it had to be an Apple issue n not the adapters so I can't check it myself now.
    Thanks!

    I have late 2012 MBP 13" and connect to my Panasonic Plasma correctly.
    But using the same cable, can't connect to an LG 47LM6200, the MBP detects the TV, the screen blinks blue, but the TV shows "no sinal detected" message.

  • Windows 7 in bootcamp does not recognize the wifi and usb

    i have just made the bootcamp with Win7. it does not recognize the wireless driver and the high resoltion screen.
    plus every time i have set the right click of trackpad.
    could any one help me in solving this issue?
    is there any way to upgrade the bootcamp driver from 3.0 to 3.3 without passing through 3.1 and 3.2?

    You might wan't to ask in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out.

    It sounds like you have not yet completed the Windows installation process by installing the Windows drivers.

  • Macbook does not recognize external USB drive - except when booting with CD

    Hi all,
    I recently swapped my Macbook's internal HD (Toshiba 100gb 5400 rpm) into an external USB enclosure (Eagle Consus). The computer does not recognize the external HD, even when using two USB cables for extra power. No luck with safe mode or resetting PRAM. Disk utility just hangs with spinning wheel if I start it. Switching the USB ports does not help.
    I thought it might be a power problem until I noted the following:
    1)The external drive works fine if I boot the Macbook from the Mac OS install CD... with this I can run disk utility and scan the drive with no problem
    2)It works fine on an old Mac Mini with only ONE of the USB connectors plugged in
    3)The enclosure worked fine on the Macbook when I had the new drive in it (320 GB 7200 RPM) while copying the files over
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks,
    --T

    It is actually using a power supply, yet it will not actually power on unless it is connected to a computer's USB port. At least this is how it works on my old desktop running Windows 2000. When you disconnect the drive from Windows, or put the machine in hibernate mode, the device actually shuts down. It powers back up once the machine wakes up from hibernate mode.
    It's a somewhat older device which predates the Macbook Pro, but it claims to support older Mac, such as the G3, G4, G5, iMac, iBook. OSX 10.0.4. So perhaps it's just too old?
    It's a Buffalo HD-HB250U2 (250 GB).
    So you're in Japan too?

  • Mac mini does not recognize external drive

    I have an 80GB external drive full of music files. I disconnected my computer to move to a new house and, with everything re-connected, the mini does not recognize the external drive. I wonder whether it is because the internal drive is nearly full. I have tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and re-connecting the USB cable to the external drive, serching for it with the disk utility, un-pluggin the external drive power cable and re-connecting it, but I'm out of ideas. What might have happened?

  • Macintosh: Flash Player does not recognize external webcam

    Hi,
    the Adobe Flashplayer does not recognize an external webcam on my iMac. When I open Settings and try to choose a camera, it offers:
    DV Video
    IIDC FirWire Video
    USB Video Class Video
    The last entry activates the built-in iSight camera, but not the Logitech Camera which is connected via USB. If I choose one of the other options, the picture freezes, but it does not activate the external Logitech cam.
    The Computer recognizes the Logitech Cam alright, it works fine with other apps (Skype, iChat). Does anyone have an idea what can be the problem?
    Webcam: Logitech Vision Pro USB für Mac, nagelneu
    Computer: Intel Mac, OSX Tiger 10.4.?
    Browser: Mozilla Firefox
    Thanks for any help!

    I've been trying to work through similar problems, as have many other Mac users from what it looks like.  Here's a quote from a post I found in Apple's forum:
    My Logictech 9000 doesn't show up in the Flash video source dropdown for me either. Selecting USB camera just selects the iSight.
    However, I did find a workaround: it seems to choose the first available usb webcam, which is typically the built-in iSight. If you have a mac mini with no built-in iSight, it uses the external camera by default. For my MacBook, I found the trick was to make the iSight busy by opening Photo Booth first, then opening the flash chat page.  That causes the flash player to find and use the external USB webcam. 
    Note: your webcam probably has to support the new standard USB Video plug-and-play protocol for this to work, and perhaps only on Leopard.
    Here's the link to the page where I found this post:

    Hopefully this works for you if you haven't already found a solution - I see you posted back in April!  I'm sorry that no one attempted to answer your question before now, including the Adobe people who staff these forums!
