X1 Carbon USB 3.0 dock and external display

Following installation of a series of optional updates, including a BIOS update, my external display (connected to the USB 3.0 dock/port replicator, ref 0A33972) is no longer detected.  I get an error message "Displaylink USB graphics software is not compatible with this graphics card or operating system.  Please visit www.displaylink.com/software and check if a new software version is available".  However, a newly downloaded driver won't install, giving an error message saying I need to use the OEM driver update system.
The Update History showing what I installed yesterday does not include any reference to a Displaylink driver.

Install: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21129&lang=eng&wapkw=usb+3.0+driver
Reboot your machine post install, go into the BIOS and set USB 3.0 to enabled and NOT auto.

  • Leopard dock and external display

    recently, i've switched the dock position from bottom to left and i now find that the dock gets positioned to the left edge of the external display when the DVI-VGA adaptor is plugged in and the external display is not mirroring the built-in display. i think that if i could "move" the external to be attached to the right side of the internal, that the dock would stay on the internal, but i haven't found an option to change the position of the external display.
    have you experienced this? any solutions? thanks.

    Hello Dan,
    Welcome to Apple discussions. It's been a little while since I ran with dual monitors, but is it not achieved by dragging the graphical representation of the monitors around in the Monitors pane of system preferences?
    I'm sure you would have checked there already, apologies if so - if not, you can do other changes there like setting the default primary display (the one that shows the menu bar) by dragging the menu bar graphic between screens.

  • Recommendations for external monitor in combination with USB 3.0 dock and X1 carbon touch

    Dear Community,
    I'm waiting for my X1 carbon touch and USB 3.0 dock and keyboard/mouse to arrive any time soon. However, I'd be glad to get some help/recommendations on external monitor choice.
    For instance, the new HP envy 27" caught my eye, since it includes speakers, but it comes with HDMI and Displayport connections only. As far as I understood, video connection itselft shouldn't be a problem using a DVI to HDMI adaptor, but how about the resolution of the X1 vs. a HD+ monitor, and how do I use the audio on this monitor (don't want to use the microphone jack in front of the dock, as it should look as minimalistic as possible)?
    Is there a solution? via usb 3.0? or should I better consider another monitor? Anyways, DVI or HDMI, I don't want to connect a separate audio system to the dock. Any recommendations, or is it one of those gadgets that  has not been thought through well enough and you need to wait for the next generation to be developed?
    Many thanks for your help,
    Cheers, jcd

    Since you don't want to use the jack on the dock, you could usethemini-DisplayPortontheX1cTouchasyourvideooutputoption because the version of DP on the X1c Touch includes the ability for audio to streamed over the DP connection in addition to video. This would require a compatible DP monitor. 
    You'll also want the monitor to support audio over the DP connection. The X1c Touch's graphics supports the output of an audio stream over DP and the machine should be be capable of this. This gives you two cables connecting to the X1c Touch -- the DP cable for audio and video and the USB 3.0 cable connecting to the dock. The dock would be attached to keyboard, mouse, USB accessories, and Ethernet (if necessary). 
    As far as what to look for in a monitor, my general recommendation is Dell Ultrasharp. They tend to be a good deal for an IPS monitor with at least an sRGB gamut and a solid warranty. I've never bothered to attempt to stream audio over DP because I have separate speakers for audio. In the same way that my last 3 laptops have been ThinkPads, my last three monitors have been Dell Ultrasharps. The graphics in the X1c Touch should be fine running a 1920x1080, so I wouldn't worry about resolution. It can be a little jarring to use monitors side-by-side when they have different pixel densities, so you'll likely end up treating them as separate display surfaces. I often have e-mail and Pandora open on my T420's screen while I'm doing the bulk of my work on my main monitors. If you think you'll be touching the screen a good bit, then you might want to look into buying a touch capable monitor. Otherwise your brain can become easily confused because it'll begin to think that all computer screens are touch-capable and you'll reach out and try to touch your desktop monitor without thinking.

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro sleep and external display problem

    I recently upgraded to the new 2010 15 inch core i7 Macbook Pro. The problem i have is that it will not detect an external display (23inch Cinema) after waking from sleep. This happens after using the display to extend the desktop and also when using the Macbook in closed mode.
    I've managed to get it to detect the display only after either restarting the Macbook completely or by going into energy saver and switching to dedicated graphics then going back to detect display.
    It seems that when on integrated graphics it doesn't register that an external display is connected. If i leave a program open and running that causes the dedicated graphics to kick in then it works ok. If i close all programs, shut the macbook pros lid, computer sleeps and external display shuts off. If i click the mouse to wake with lid closed, apple logo lights, machine starts up few seconds later macbook returns to sleep. If i open the screen the machine wakes as normal but the external monitor doesn't.
    Any help is much appreciated as its starting to frustrate me now...
    Many thanks
    oh and im running OSX 10.6.3

    I thought it was intermittent to begin with until i started looking into it. By leaving programs open, like aperture, before i put the machine to sleep it appears to wake the external monitor up without a problem. If i shut all programs or leave basic things open like safari and mail which don't require the dedicated graphics, then upon wake it wont register an external screen is connected.
    Manually detecting displays in settings doesn't work.
    Disconnecting and reconnecting mini display port doesn't work.
    Turning off power to cinema display and powering back up doesn't work.
    To get the display going again its either 1) turn off macbook pro and re-boot or 2) re-start the machine then the display is automatically recognised. Or 3) launch a programme that kicks in dedicated graphics then manually go in and detect displays again..... like magic the display then springs to life.
    No ideas anyone??

  • Different resolutions for Macbook Pro display and External display

    Is it possible to have different resolutions for a Macbook Pro and an external display. I prefer to see less but larger on my Macbook Pro whilst seeing more but smaller on my external display. I use the DVI output to connect to an Acer 22in display.
    Thanks in advance
    Ian

    I've actually tried that process and it doesn't work; I still get the same display qualities on both. Perhaps that process might work if one is not mirroring. Maybe there is a compatibility issue between my Macbook Pro and the Acer 223W. I'll persevere, but thanks for your help anyway.
    Ian
    Hi Ian,
    allow me to chime in:
    You are absolutely correct!
    In 'Mirroring Mode' both internal and external display have the same resolution.
    Only in 'Extended Mode' you can have different resolutions for both displays.

  • ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock and X1 Carbon SLOW wired network speeds

    Got my X1 carbon, like it don't love it.  However using it on our wired network I'm getting around 20MB speeds copying files and my carbon becomes very copy when doing large 2GB file type copies.
    On my T420s with a "real" docking station I get around 150MB speeds copying the same file.
    No errors on our Cisco switches, seem speeds are locking in fine.  Is that simply the best I'm going to to over the USB 3.0 connecting to the SS port?  I can almost live with slow speeds but copy video during copies, no way.
    Am I missing something, doing something wrong, or this is what it is?  Sure hope not...

    I'm seeing the same issue with a ThinkPad W520.  When I connect my ethernet cable directly to the laptop, my internet speeds are on par with my service provider of 18 Mbps.  When I move that cable to the dock, I will only see 1.5 Mbps.  I have two displays attached to the dock and I'm running Windows 7.  I've updated the dock firmware and have installed the latest system drivers.  Is there anything else to try?

  • Listening to nano through ipod dock and external speakers

    Hi,
    Need some help here. I've just upgraded from my old 10gb iPod to a nano, and everything is fine until I try to listen to it through my external JBL creature speakers. I've plugged the nano into an ipod dock, which is connected to the speakers, and no sound is coming out. I plugged in my old ipod, and it worked fine. Any help?
    Cheers

    David, here's my interpretation of what you just posted:
    iPod nano Dock enables quick connectivity if you have a desktop computer without an easily accessible USB 2.0 port. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in — just place iPod nano in the dock and it’s ready to sync with iTunes and charge its battery. <<</div>
    This means that the dock connection connects to the internal battery and allows you to transfer data (sync w/ iTunes).
    And you can plug a stereo mini cable to its line-out port and enjoy a clean, direct connection to a stereo or powered speakers<<</div>
    This means you can plug a stereo mini cable into the same port you use to plug in your headphones. The other end would go into your stereo or powered speakers. Which means no dock connection with line out audio!
    I would not be able to use the nano with my Altec Lansing speakers or my Sik Imp (which is how I listen to my iPod mini in my Honda Element). So no nano for me!
    Apple's marketing strategy is all too clear to me now. They didn't discontinue the mini, their best selling iPod, because that's what everyone is trying to copy. They discontinued it because they felt sales of the mini were cannibalizing sales of hte regular iPod. If you wanted something more compact than the iPod but wanted dock connectivity to all the various accessories, you bought a mini. Now you buy the nano for compactness AND the regular iPod to use with the accessories. So where one product satisfied two needs for the average user (not the afficianados that have iPod collections) Apple will now happily sell you two products.
    To all those people who asked what the mini has that the nano doesn't, this looks like it: line out audio through the dock connection. A very important feature!

  • Thinkpad X1 Mouse Issues with USB 3.0 Dock and WIndows 8.1

    I have a new X1 (3444-CUU) that I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. When I connected to the Thinkpad USB 3.0 Dock, there was an automatic updated of the firmware on the docking station.
    Everything seems to be working except issues with my Keyboard and Mouse.Periodically, the mouse will disappear of the keyboard will simply stop working. Most recently, it was as if the delete key was stuck causing it to delete all my email (actually a feature I liked but unfortunately, can't allow).
    Is there a known issue with wireless keyboard?

    I have a possibly similar issue that seems to be related to the keyboard dock. In my case this is with logitec unified receiver, but what I found may help you narrow the issue's root cause.
    I found that after a reboot, the dock's USB ports (bothh SS or USB 3.0) will not recognize logitech's unified receiver. Even though it is Windows reporting it, it seems to be related to the hardware. What I do to have minimally invasive 'functioning' system is to undock the Helix (use as tablet). This makes the genuine USB 2.0 port of the tablet accessible. I then plug the receiver into that port and wait until the mouse is recognized. Then remove the receiver, re-dock the tablet on the keyboard dock and plug the receiver into the dock's usb 3.0 port. Then everything works.
    That seems to somehow circumvent part of the refreshing of the USB connected devices and allows them to work correctly.
    I wonder if that addresses your issue. Of course I am opening another thread and ticket with that issue (will post a link after that)

  • USB 2.0?  and External Hard Drive?

    Does the new ipod come with a USB 2.0 cable in the box? or am i going to have to painfull wait on all my music to be sent thru USB 1.0?
    and also, i have all my music stored on an external hard drive. Would it be a problem to have the music send thru usb from the external hard drive to my computer then out thru usb to the ipod?
    PC   Windows XP  

    Does the new ipod come with a USB 2.0 cable in the box?
    Yes, it does come with a USB cable, but your question implies that your computer is only USB 1.1. If this is the case, then even with a USB 2 cable and iPod, you'll only get USB 1.1 speeds if your computer is USB 1.1.
    Would it be a problem to have the music send thru usb from the external hard drive to my computer then out thru usb to the ipod?
    Not necessarilly a problem, but depending on your computer's USB speeds, it might be slow to sync.
    It should work though.

  • How to use bluetooth ipod dock and external speakers together

    Hi
    Is there anyway to make my speakers, conected to the headphone socket at the rear of my iMac, and a bluetooth Ipod dock play together.
    I've bought a Bose dock with bluetooth thinking I could then have the radio or songs playing in two different rooms but I can't seem to find out how to make the computer play through the speakers and the bluetooth, I have to pick one or the other.
    It's on  OSX 10.6.7

  • How to undock/dock to USB 3.0 Dock so extended displays are recognized on reconnection

    I have an X1 Carbon connected to a ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock. I extend the display to use a desktop monitor. When I undock the laptop from the dock (i.e. remove the USB 3.0 cable) work undocked and then reconnect, I cannot access the display I have connected to the USB dock. The mouse and keyboard that are connected to the dock work OK. 
    Trying to Detect in the Lenovo DisplayLink manager doesn't find the monitor.
    Is there a way to "undock" so that the display is recognized on reconnection? e.g. switch off the USB 3.0 dock before removing the USB 3 cable?

    Yes - did you ever find a solution? I tried updating the Displaylink driver.

  • USB to HDMI adapter for external display in clamshell mode?

    Hello.
    Does anyone know of a USB to HDMI (or DVI) adapter so that I can connect an external display (with an HDMI or DVI cable) to a USB port on my Macbook air? 
    I need to run it in clamshell mode, mirroring the Air display. The Monoprice  USB to HDMI adapter (which uses DislplayLink drivers) I tried does not work properly in clamshell mode with mirroring (though it works in arrangement mode).  I know I can use the Thunderbolt port, but I need to leave this free for a Firewire device.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I have the same problem, but using USB devices and Displaylink software.  I know there are issues with Displaylink software as they say the problem is with Apple.  I have three external monitors with a late 2008  I Macbook Pro which gives me four screens.  I was able to get two to work + the Macbook, but there were so many issues, like you described, that I have given up and I am just using the Mini Display port which gives me one external and the Macbook.  Looks like we will just have to wait until Apple does something.  I have found no other solutions at this point - hardware or otherwise.
