I, like many others, have given up on the possibility of interoperability between my DVI equipped MBP and Apples new LED display.
What displays from other manufactures are as well designed and would complement my MBP aesthetics?
Love my new imac but the weak link are the built in speakers. Any recommendations for simple usb designed speakers for a 21.5 IMac model?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Firefox for my web browsing on my 27' iMAC. Why do some webpages (like this one) stretch/fit across the entire width of the monitor screen and some only use 1/3 of the page?
Is it how the web page maker designed the page?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst, I need to say that, regarding my problem, I wasn't sure if I should post in this section or in the 'MacOSX' one, but like I'm facing this problem on my Mac Pro 4,1. So, I have a 8-core Mac Pro 4,1 with an Apple HD4870 to which are connected 2 screens: The main one is a Dell U2410 (1920x1200, via mDP to DP adapter) that I use under OSX for photography retouching with DxO. The other one is a 27'' (1920x1080, DVI) I only use for gaming under bootcamp.
When under bootcamp, I only need to turn off the Dell and the desktop is resized for only 1 display. My problem is that, under OsX, even when the 27'' is turned off, the desktop is extended to this display, I can't find a way to deactivate the 27''. I can't even set the displays as 'mirrors', as they have different heigts in pixels (1200 vs 1080), and then I get a Dell resized to 1080. The only solution I have right now is to disconnect the DVI cable of the 27'' when using the computer under OsX.
A lot people expect have cam with the new cinema displays but what about mic? I use my sister imac yesterday and the mic are amazing. I call with skype sitting on the chair and receive the voice great and of course the cam.
You think that mic appear with cam on the new cinema display (that appear not see the light)
why not new cinema displays!! I want a new one, a lot time without a new model!

just updated to LION 10.07.3. / MacPro 3.1 The two displays run fine before under 10.5. (Samsung Syncmaster)They are conected analog, because the digital inputs used by another MacPro (The system is configered to switch just the inputs of the both displays beteween AVID (digital input) and ProTools (analog input) on different macs) Now upgraded to 10.7 Lion they are dedected as VGA displays. And showing 4:3 screens. Using System Conf. -> displays -> detect displays, they are both detected right as syncmaster. Both displays are automaticaly switched to 1680 x 1050.Great! That ist the right resolution! But only one of the displays is now showing the full screen correct.The other display is masking the screen to a 4:3 picture, so that part of the screen-content is covered under that mask...

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro with the Nvidia 330m. Does using Mirror Displays require any less system resources (such as VRAM) than Dual Displays? I mean it shouldn't right (assuming that you use the same resolution for Mirror and Dual) because there is still content on both screens being written to the VRAM?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf i set my displays to sleep in 1 minute (say, if I leave it on overnight, and want it to sleep pretty quickly), they both come back to life after a few minutes. Since they're bright, they absolutely illuminate the room and the S/O isn't too happy with me.

Just found this when I was doing a simple sum, lol what are the chances of this.Summary:
Specific Calculation in calculator causes '0' error.Steps to Reproduce:
Open up dashboard calculator. Type 54 - 27 press the '=' nothing happens, press again and it displays '0'.
Expected Results:
Correct answer.
Actual Results:
When '=' is pressed, nothing happens, press again and it displays '0'.
Regression:
Always happens.
Notes:
I have noticed that this problems occurs EXACTLY the same on the iPhone latest OS as well.
I've mini connected to 2 dell 24" LCD displays thru Y splitter (DVI to DVI/VGA). 1st display connects with DVI and the second with VGA.
Vista (bootcamp) can see both displays and it can extend the desktop to the 2nd display.
Since windows on bootcamp can use 2 monitors and OSX can't I would assume that this functionality has been disabled by apple in OSX or display driver. I know that the windows VGA driver provided by apple (bootcamp) has the dual display disabled.
Here is the question:
Where would i have to look in OSX to enable 2nd display?

I currently have a 15inch MacBook Pro with final cut studio, I use an external HD monitor for my main editing and the MBPs display for secondary. I am running out of screen real-estate for my secondary and want to get a 3rd monitor. The only problem is that there is not way to upgrade the graphic cards in the MBP. My question is: How can i have a total of 3 displays all displaying different images(ie. not mirrored).

I have a macbook pro with retina display, and i want to connect a monitor to the mac. When i connected the mac to the screen, the screen is on another desktop (called desktop 2) but in misson control (on the mac) there is no "desktop 2" and when i add a desktop on the mac, the screen becomes desktop 3. How can i control both displays (screen and mac) but with different windows open on different displays on the same misson control?
So basically i want to have a certain window open (eg. preview) on the screen, and at the same time run (eg. google chrome) on my mac without mirroring the 2 displays.
Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

I am sure its a dumb question, but i have an older mac cinema display with the pins not mini dvi, that will work on the new mac pros right?
Sorry for the dumb question, I just know apple loves to keep changing those plugs.
I want a widget that displays the current temperature in C and F without having to keep going to the options to switch over. This is just so I can get a feel for Celsius and Fahrenheit differences

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been a mac guy since 1990 and for the last five years have settled into a nice PowerMac G5 with the dual 2.0 processors with the 20" Apple Cinema Display.
I did search on this but couldn't find anything specific, but I am considering adding a second 23" Apple Cinema Display to my set-up for a dual monitor workstation.
I have the ATI Radeon 9600 video card with two DVI ports. I have my 20" plugged in to port 1 and it's running at 1680x1050 resolution (the highest). When I add the second monitor, will BOTH monitors be able to run at their highest resolutions? Or do I need to add another video card?
I had heard rumor that resolutions are a trade-off: if your card is split between two monitors, then the resolution splits, true?
If I can run both at the highest res, then I'll pull the trigger and get the extra monitor. I'm assuming there's someone here who has done the exact same thing?
