MacBook Pro :: Use Second Laptop To Mirror/extend Screen?

Jul 8, 2009

I've got a 17" MacBook Pro on OSX 10.5.7 and a 15" TiBook on OSX 10.4.11.

Can I connect the TiBook to the MacBook Pro in such a way that I can use it to extend the screen? IE: main window on MBP and menus etc on Ti? If so how? Is it easy to switch back and forth on the Ti so I can get back to it's own screen easily?

IMac :: Want To Mirror Home Computer And Laptop

Sep 5, 2009

I have an iMac and a mbp, both intels & running 10.5.8. I work on the road and wish to have both computers contain the same information with out over writing the new files. i.e. - I work on a word file at home, work on the same file at the office and then record my band before heading home. When I get home, I want my home computer to have the updated word file and back up the logic audio files. The other part of this is so that my iPhone will sync with both computers. MobileMe was kind of the right path but I didn't quite do the trick. How do I do that?

PowerPC :: Is It Possible To Use An EMac As A Screen Mirror For A MacBook

Aug 8, 2006

My next computer purchase will probably be a MacBook (or MacBook Pro) but I obviously want to be able to plug it into a better screen when I'm at my desk. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to use my current eMac as this screen?

I have heard that in the early iMacs the monitor was connected internally with a normal monitor lead - so you could open it up and connect a longer one. Does anyone know if this would be the case with an eMac?

Or any other way I might be able to do this?

Hardware :: Mirror Display Not Using The Whole Screen?

Jul 27, 2009

I have an Early 2008 Macbook connected to a 22" 1680x1050 display. When I set it to mirror the display and set it to the full resolution of 1680x1050 it only uses about 16" of the external display, when i set the resolution to 1280x800 on the external display it then uses all of the display.

When I don't mirror the displays it uses all of the display in full resolution.

Is there anyway to solve this so that i can use it to mirror the display but use all of the screen!

MacBook Pro :: Using Laptop Screen As Second Monitor?

May 22, 2012

I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. With the Mac Pro I have just the one screen - used to have two, but now just the one as I rarely need it. However, for a job I'm doing at the moment, it would be handy to have the use of two screens. Do you know if it's possible to hook both computers up and use the LapTop screen as a second monitor for my Mac Pro?

MacBook :: Screen Flickers When Move Laptop?

Aug 13, 2009

Whenever I move my macbook on my desk with the lid open, or when I open the lid, or when I close the lid, my screen flickers to black and then back open many times. Is this a weak connection some where? Sometimes the screen will stay black until I move the lid a little bit. I bought it refurbished from Apple this spring. I do not have applecare.

MacBook :: Discolored Display On Laptop Screen

Jun 20, 2012

Why are colors different on my computer display from my iPhone and other platforms? Is there a way to get accurate colors on my MacBook screen? Usually pictures viewed on my laptop screen are more colorful and vivid than on my iPhone and iPad. iPad 2 isn't retina of course, but my iPhone 4 is, so I don't get why it's not as colorful...

MacBook Pro :: 2008 Screen Went Black But The Laptop Still Works?

Mar 17, 2012

I have a 2008 MacBook and it was working perfectly fine until one day I was using it and the screen instantly faded to black. I first thought my battery power had shut off, so then I closed the laptop but that little light on right front side was still blinking meaning the computer was still on. I then shut down the computer and turned it back on but as it started  the screen was its normal brightness for about 3 seconds then it quickly went black again. If I shine a light on the screen I can barely make out what it shows, which is my normal screen when I open up the laptop.  Did my screen somehow break from overuse or does have to do with the battery?

MacBook Pro :: Milk Dropped On Laptop - Screen Completely Ruined

Jan 17, 2010

I dropped a glass of milk on my MacBook Pro yesterday, I was so sad. The milk landed all around, keyboard, trackpad, screen. I dried it all with a towel and it works perfectly. But, the screen is completely ruined. It is smudgy and sticky, and blurry with milk. I think using a towel is the worst thing I could have done. What can I use to cleanse my screen of this uncomfortable smudge?

MacBook Air :: Laptop Suddenly Froze And After Restarting Screen Remains Off

Dec 9, 2014

I bought last year (18 month ago) my MacBook Air. Suddenly it froze and after restarting the screen remains "off". After connecting an external screen I can go to the first opening screen but the cursor won’t move. I tried to use the “Command,” “Option” and “Esc” keys on the keyboard at the same time to bring up the “Force Quit Applications” window but it doesn't work. After restarting I'm back at the same screen, still frozen.

MacBook Pro :: Failure Mode During Reboot Or Wakeup Laptop Retina Display / Screen Does Not Work

Aug 21, 2014

my mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina laptop is having Retina screen problems at startup, bootup and wakeup modes.  The main failure mode is, during reboot or wakeup the laptop's Retina display screen does not work, a blank Retina screen results, and the keyboard does not light up.  Also, at random times the laptop will just crash and self reboot, but then during reboot the Retina screen does not work but the computer reboots.  Additionally, this laptop, compared to my work's PC laptops is lightly used, mostly for web browsing, photo viewing and email. At first this problem was only intermittent, but now the Retina displace screen failure mode has become a chronic repeating failure mode and is happening almost everyday and stays in this Retina display failure mode for a longer period of time.  Additionally, this 2012 Macbook Pro Retina laptop had a failed graphics card within its first 4 months of light use, the failed graphics card had to be replaced.

MacBook Pro :: Using Mirror Displays?

Nov 7, 2010

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?
