X240 + 2x Displayports on Dock, No Video

I've seen this question posted several times with no answers or updates.
I have the X240 i7 version.
All my drivers are 100% up to date. (9/16/14) Including the new intel drivers posted a few days ago.
When I plug in two monitors via the displayport (Displayport to VGA) I get no video, both monitors are Dell and they both work when plugged into the single vga port. I have tested the Displayport cables on a separate computer and verrified they do work. I have tried the firmware update but I get an error that tells me I have upgraded hardware and the program shuts down.
Is there any hope or anything I'm missing here?
I would apreciate any help, Thanks!
Edit:
It gives the error off already having the updated firmware 15.

Bumb + More information.
I am able to get dual monitors using the VGA port and DVI port, However this still doesn't solve my problem because I intend to add 1 more monitor soon.

If your iMac has mini display port and/or thunderbolt no reason it shouldn't work.
It works great for me, when I'm on the road, I can watch movies I have on my computer on the hotel CRT TV.

Dock + iPod Video Out

Hi all,
can anyone tell me if while the ipod is docked, the video out on the ipod can be used to view photos/videos ?
Thanks
Chris

I'm working on a similar problem.
When I connect a dock connector with usb charger the a/v out still works.
But when I connect the dock connector from my cars interface (which takes control of the ipod) I lose the a/v output from the 1/8" jack and headphone.
I am considering removing pin 8 on the dock (Video) in the hopes this may work. But I am concerned it is a software issue where if an "accessory" like head unit interfaces take control of the ipod then it shuts off the a/v output.
I wish their was a menu setting for this as all I need is to split off the video signal.
I'll post if I find a solution.

Does ipod nano work with ipod photo dock, s-video out?

Does the ipod nano work with the ipod photo dock, with an s-video out? Will apple make one for the nano specifically?

The iPod nano cannot show photos on an external device, I suspect Apple have not built this feature into the hardware. The options for showing to a TV are not in the photo menus either.

Universal dock s-video out to tv

Does anyone know if you can use the video out on the universal dock to see what music/song is currently playing? I wanted to use my ipod like a jukebox and display everything on my tv. I have everything hooked up right and the settings are right. I wonder if there is something wrong with my ipod or if the video out is only for photo's and video's.

Video out is only for photos and videos on the iPod.

IPhone & Universal Dock - No video out after resume from pause

OK - original 16GB iPhone, latest universal dock and Apple Composite cable, hooked to a 42" Sony LCD TV. iPhone is at latest revision.
Used to be that if I used the remote to pause a video, I could wander off, make a cup of coffee, and when I came back, even though the iPhone was locked, I could press play on the remote and carry on where I Ieft off. Recently though, when I try to resume from the paused state, I get sound but no video and I have to walk over to the docked iPhone, unlock it, and then I get video out.
I can only assume that this bug was introduced (or the previously working feature was removed) by a software update. Whatever the cause, it is a pain.
The cynic in me would assume that it is Apple's sneaky way of reducing the feature set to below the minimum expected so as to drive users to buy an Apple TV. The optimist in me assumes it is a bug and it CAN BE FIXED IN THE NEXT RELEASE!
Anybody else experienced this issue?

I also believe this is a bug, but I found a workaround. I after starting the video you press the wake-up button, the iPhone screen goes off, but the video keeps playing. Now if you pause using the remote, you can also resume using the remote without having to unlock the iPhone.
The weirdest thing about this is that after doing it once, you can unlock you iPhone and be able to pause and resume as expected. As soon as you change the video (that is, you turn the video out off) the iPhone forgets what he just learned and doesn't resume from the remote again.
So as a rule I always turn the iPhone screen off after starting a video. So I'm able to use my remote nicely. I hope this works for you too... and that it gets corrected in the next SW version!

IPhone 3G intermittently not compatible with Apple Dock / Component Video

I purchased a new Apple Dock and Component Video cable for my 3G. Both original Apple parts.
On the first day it all worked perfectly. Now it seems I have a 50/50 chance of getting the "this device not compatible with iPhone - switch to airplane mode" dialog when I place the iPhone in the dock. This is about a week old now.
Anyone else seen this? I haven't noticed any pattern. Frustratingly random.
Same thing happens with my JBL On Stage IIIP dock (supposed to be compatible) - I just thought it was because it was 3rd-party junk but apparently not.

bpezza,
The iPhone Bluetooth Headset packaging has been updated to not include a Dual-dock, and the suggeested retail price updated to $99.
The travel cable does work with the iPhone 3G and original iPhone.
Here is more information on the current Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset:

Hope this helps,

XB3000 Docking Station Video Problem

I got an XB3000 docking station and connected my DV8000. The USB and sound works, but cannot get the external monitor to see a signal from the XB3000. I have used the Fn + F4 button to turn on external video, but no response seen. I have tried the VGA and also the Component connections.
I know the external monitor works, because I have used it directyl connected to the DV8000 VGA connector. Any suggestions?
The DV8000 is running Windows XP.
HHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!
Regards,
Dale

I did the same thing but just the component does not send the video to my HD tv!
I just got a xb3000 and I hooked up the component red green and blue to my HD tv and I can not get it to wor? The touchsmart TX2Z-1000 on the other hand works great with the XB 3000.What drivers do I need? Where can I get this to work for expanding my viewing to the HD TV?
Thanks

Will A 5G iPod With A iPod Photo Dock Support Video Output?

Hello everyone,
I recently sold my iPod photo and purchased a new 5G iPod. I kept my iPod Photo Dock because it has a S-Video and Audio-Out on it.
I was wondering however, before I commit to purchasing an Monster iTV cable for this dock, if iPod Photo dock will allow me to play video from my 5G iPod to my tv?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Travis

We have one at home originally used with an iPod Photo. The iPod with video will charge over firewire, it just won't update. The USB and Firewire chargers are the same except for the connection.

Nano and JBL Radial Dock No video

Anyone got any ideas why I can't get video to play through this dock?

It is probably not compatible with a 4th Generation Nano.

GS30 Shadow and Gaming Dock internals (video)

GS30 Shadow and Gaming Dock internals
The GS30 Shadow is a light, slim machine with a high-powered, high-voltage Intel Core i7 CPU and the usual stuff you find in an MSI Gaming notebook. One thing it does lack though, is a dedicated graphics card, instead it comes with a PCI-E 3.0 x16 connector and a sizeable dock, the Gaming Dock, in which you’ll be able to fit a full desktop graphics card and a few other goodies.
To tell you more about the GS30 Shadow and the Gaming Dock, we’ve created a little video to walk you through the combo and what you can expect hardware-wise.

Docking is a brilliant idea, but my boyfriend is gamer and an engineer, he is trying to look for independent laptop for its high performance. Does anyone know where can I find independent one from docking?

Thunderbolt Display with mini-displayport Sapphire HD 7550 video card

I have a Mac Pro 5,1, Model A1289, made in June 2012. It came with a Nvidia Quadro 400 graphics card, but I want to purchase a Sapphire HD 7550 3GB Mac Edition graphics card in order to use a 27 inch Thunderbolt Display. I know the Sapphire 7550 card will work in the Mac Pro version I have.
The description of the Sapphire 7550 card says it has two mini-display ports. Will the 27 inch Thunderbolt Display work with this card?
I have read information on various forums that suggest it will work and others that say it will not.
Will a Thunderbolt Display work with a video card that has mini-display ports or does it have to specifically say it is a Thunderbolt port?
Does anyone have a clear answer?

see this post - you will not be able to run a tb monitor on the older silver tower mac pro's

you need the other 27 display - led cinema

MacPro update Mini DisplayPort both audio and video?

Apple confirmed to Ars that the just-updated MacBook Pros will pass both video and audio signals to an HDTV or receiver when using an miniDP to HDMI adapter.
Just wondering if this is true or if anyone has tried it out yet?

Hello Rick! Thanks again for the reply. I took the one adapter back but at the time they had no other new ones to replace it with so I just took the refund. I was back in town at my brothers so i checked them out again and they had 3 brand new never opened adapters. I bought it again. It actually worked.
My bro had the audio splitter cables so I connected them and it did work. So not sure if the adapter I bought has the audio capability or not because I used the other audio out on the MBP. The one where it is headphone to RCA..whatever those connections are called.
I will try the adapter on a Toshiba 26" TV I have at home with just the adapter and see if audio comes through or not. I hope it will.
