MacBook Pro :: Apple Logo On Display Blinks Randomly After Closing Lid
Sep 5, 2014My Macbook Pro (early 2013, OSX 10.9.4) does not come to sleep mode – 10 secs after closing the display lid apple logo starts glowing (blinking) on a random intervals.
I have tried the following methods that HAVE NOT solved the issue:
* PRAM reset
* SMC reset
* Power Nap is disabled (with enabled I still get the same issue)
* WiFi is off
* Bluetooth is off
* no external devices connected
* no antiviruses or other programs that I would suspect to cause this
* sudo rm -r -f /Library/Prefrences/SystemConfiguration
* finally reinstalled OS X, and I still got the same issue
Surprisingly, if I enter to sleep mode via menu: Apple>Sleep, there seems to be no issue! I have tried changing pmset -1 lidopen 0 to validate if lid is preventing from going to sleep mode, however it has not fixed the issue.
I see this text in the Syslog:

Sep 4, 2014My external display (HP w2207) seems to conflict with my MacBook Pro (15 inch Retina display, early 2013) since I upgraded MacBook OS to 10.9.4.The external display works at initial boot of Mac but does not work after OS sleeps and I attempt to awaken, and while the external display is not waking, the Retina display flashes through different screen views, which only partially reflect my normal screen, or do not reflect my normal screen at all.

MacBook Air :: Turn Off Display When Using External Display?
Jun 19, 2012While using Google Sketchup and several other prgrams concurrently my macbook air cpu heats up substantiall. I like keeping the air "open" to allow for maximum heat disipation but of course this keeps the air screen on while I only want to use my external monitor. Is the only way to turn of the air screen turning down the brightness and using the "Mirror Display" option or is there another setting which alows my to utilize only the external display while the screen is open on the air?

MacBook :: Finding An External Display That Matches My Black MacBook Display
Mar 2, 2009As the title states. I am looking for an external display that matches the display on my black MacBook. I want one with the same gloss finish as my MacBook, this way I can calibrate both screens to look the same. That way when I switch screens it doesn't look different.
Anyone know of a screen that looks identical to the (previous generation) MacBook? I was thinking of getting a Samsung T240 but it has a different finish. How are ASUS screens? Any screens out there that have the same gloss finish?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Use Computer In Closed Clam-shell (display Closed) Mode With An External Display?
Jun 4, 2012I have an 13" MBP that I ordered new in April, 2012. It is running Lion. I have an external monitor that is capable of 1440x900 resolution. I have an external keyboard and trackpad hooked up, and I like to close my MBP up and stick it in a BookArc. I want to be able to have the internal display disabled and to have the MBP only allow me to put windows on the external display, so long as the lid is closed. I also want to be sure that I am taking advantage of the resolutions available on my external monitor, which are higher than those supported by the internal display (specifically 1440x900).
This doesn't seem to work because I either have to allow the MBP to continue to draw my desktop across both screens (internal and external), OR use the "mirror displays" mode, which restricts my resolution of my external monitor. This means I either forgoe the additional resolution benefits of my external monitor, or I end up with windows that fall off-the-cliff, so to speak, because they are drawn in the portion of the desktop that would be shown on my internal display (which is closed).
I've read the community support pages on using the MBP with an external monitor, most relevantly, this page. It simply recommends using the "mirror displays" option. However, this option, as I mentioned above, doesn't allow me to make use of the additional resolution, and my external display looks bad. how to keep the 13" MBP in closed clamshell position, with the internal display disabled, and use my external monitor at resolutions higher than those allowed by the 13" MBP but which are available to my external monitor when not in "mirror displays" mode?

PowerPC :: Powerbook Internal Display Won't Turn On With External Display
May 22, 2007For the past few months i have been using an external display hooked up to my 12" powerbook g4. I have had it on a dual display mode so no mirroring. Recently i would open the laptop lid waking it from being in sleep mode and my internal display will not turn on. The apply system profiler does not even recognize that the internal display exists. My external display works fine and has always been set as the main display. If i go to detect displays nothign happens. I have tried restarting the computer, instering system disks, unplugging the external and nothing has worked. I simply cannot get my internal screen to fire back up. When i used to unplug my external display the internal display would switch back to being the main display and everything would be fine. Now i cannot get the internal display to function whatsoever. Please try and help me as a need this laptop working and i will be ordering a mac pro soon for use with my external display.

Jan 23, 2008Just wondering if anyone could help me figure this out.
I have my 40" flat screen plugged into my imac via VGA cable to mirror the image.
I'm just trying to have the imac display sleep while I play a movie full screen through the external TV.
I've tried two different ways but both have failed.
1-I set up a hot corner in the imac to sleep display but this results in both the display and the TV sleeping.
2-I just set the power settings to sleep after 1 minute. This works but then If a movie is playing the computer won't go to sleep.

OS X :: Dual Display - Power Down And Disconnect The External Display
Oct 26, 2008I have a question about using dual displays with my new macbook. The basic issue is this:
1: plug in second display and setup dual monitor support to use the external hi-res display and the macbook's display (no problem here).
2: drag windows to the external display and resize to use (no problems here either).
3. Power down and disconnect the external display.
4. Start up the macbook without the external display and try and open up a program that I was using previously on the external display. The problem is that it is resized and positioned for the external display and is now off the screen of my macbook display and I can't directly get to the title bar to move it or the resize corner to resize it.
Hardware :: Disable IMac Display/use External Display Only?
Jan 13, 2010I just purchased a 23" monitor to replace my iMacs 17" display (since it has a nasty crack in one of the corners). I hooked it up fine and all, but the displays are linked, allowing me to hover the mouse to the iMac's display which I find annoying most of the time.
Is there a way to make the iMac display zone out and just use the external by itself?
IMac :: Turn Off The Display When Using An External Display?
Nov 10, 2009I'm interested in the new iMac but could not work with a glossy display. Can anyone share their experiences of using the iMac with an external display? In one respect it seems like a waste to have two monitors but the base model costs little more than the maxed out Mini and seems like the better option.
I would be interested in seeing photos of any setups featuring the iMac and an external display.
Also, is there a way to turn off the iMac display when using an external display?
OS X :: Unable To Show 10.6 Install On External Monitor / Grey Box On External Display With Black Bar
Feb 27, 2009I have a Macbook Pro 2.16 Core Duo, and I'm wanting to install 10.6, but about a year ago, I cracked my screen to the point that I cannot make anything out on it, and haven't replaced it. Instead, I have just been using it in clamshell mode, which has worked out fine so far. My problem is that I cannot get the 10.6 install to show up on my external monitor.
I searched around, and could only find one other similar thread that just ended with the author putting it in clamshell and having it work fine. When I boot to the install and close the screen, I just get a grey box on my external display with a black bar on either side of it. I can't seem to find any other resources, so I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro :: Use Display While Plugged Into G5 As External?
Nov 9, 2010I have this gorgeous 22" ACD that I have plugged into my G5, where I use it quite often. But my intention for the G5 was to be a server, which it is. I often need some extra display space when I'm doing school work, or coding, so I was wondering if there is a way that I can use the display, while plugged in to the G5, as an external display for my MBP. Preferably something that I could stream over my local network.

View 12 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Won't Go Full Res With An External Display?
Feb 27, 2010I have a Unibody MacBook Pro from the Late 2009 line.
When connected to a TV, it used to be able to make the TV 1920x1080 but for some reason it won't do that anymore. It's not on mirrored, and I can't think of anything I've done to mess this feature up. Some people are saying that MacBooks can only support full res on externals by putting the computer to sleep, but I HAVE done full res before with both screens awake.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be much appreciated, it's driving me insane!
UPDATE : I think the port on my MacBook may be slightly damaged. A small wiggle of the cable makes the screen go black. I then have to fiddle with the Display Preferences or replug it. Should I call Apple or something?

MacBook Pro :: External Display Not Being Detected At All
May 12, 2010I have a Hanns-G 22in monitor that I'm trying to connect to my new Macbook Pro. There's a DVI cable connected from the monitor to the macbook pro with a little converter cable. I've tried what seems like every iteration of sleeping, turning off, and turning on both the laptop and the monitor to no avail. The monitor always remains black as if it's connected to nothing. I know the monitor is good, too, as I use it for my PC on a daily basis.
