MacBook Pro :: How To Connect Two External Displays That Are Not Mirrored And Turn Off Retina Display
Dec 9, 2014I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to use two external displays either mirrored or not and turn off the retina display, and if so how it is done?
2. Is it possible to close the MBP and use an external keyboard while using two external displays?
I am using a music production DAW Persons Studio One-2 Pro and it would be great to be able to have this type of a setup.

MacBook Pro :: Using Mirror Displays?
Nov 7, 2010I 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?

Jan 17, 2010I would like to set up a 24" monitor and 30" monitor with my 15" MacBook Pro (v4.1).
The graphics card is the GeForce 8600M GT 512MB.
It's important that one of them be color calibrated using my Eye One Display 2.
Is there an external peripheral that can make this work?
If it's not possible because my computer is too old - does buying one of the more recent MacBook Pro's make this possible?

MacBook Pro :: Different Displays On Mac (Screen)
Jun 5, 2014I 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.

Apr 17, 2009so I love Macs but they're frustrating the hell out of me. I wanted to run dual 20" displays (portrait) and one 30" displays using a Mac Mini and a Macbook Pro. I know the new Mini should do it, but I've heard bad things about Apple's Dual Link DVI adapter. Also, I don't think there's a way for a Macbook Pro to drive a 30" Display and a 20." Am I missing something? What should I do?I'd much rather buy a Mac Mini than the Mac Pro which is way too powerful.

Apr 14, 2012So here's the question. Running Lion on MacBookPro (17" with thunderbolt port) and need to connect BOTH a Mac 27" miniport display and a Mac 27" thunderbolt display. The miniport display needs to be last in the daisy chain, but not be connected to the thunderbolt display according to Apple (and they're correct - it goes black). Two possible solutions - (1) thunderbolt hub and connect both displays to that or (2) put another thunderbolt accessory in between the two displays.

MacBook Air :: Running 2 Displays With The 2012?
Jun 18, 2012I purchased the Toshiba Dynadock U3 - which ran well with Win 7- hoping there would be drivers for the Mac OS. Anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this configuration? If not, then what is the next best configuration where I do not have to keep connecting and disconnecting wires fron my MBA. Just want to connect one wire (e.g. - USB cable) that that's it. Is this wishful thinking?

MacBook Pro :: Its Support For Two External Displays?
Jun 21, 2012I keep seeing articles since yesterday stating that the new MBP retina display supports 3 external monitors and the new Macbook Air supports two (through just one ThB port?) but how come no one says anything about the new regular MBP's support? If the Air supports two isn't the regular MBP also supposed to be able to work with two external monitors?

MacBook Pro :: Using External Displays And Graphics Switching?
Jun 7, 2010I just plugged in my Cinema Display to my MBP for the first time, and for a while couldn't figure out why the heck the computer wasn't recognizing it (though maybe I'd gotten a bad MDP/DVI adaptor).
Then I'd noticed I'd set it via gfxCardStatus to use Intel graphics only. I released it to Dynamic -- and voila! Display recognized. Interestingly, it now also will not accept being set back to Intel only with the monitor connected.

MacBook Pro :: How Many External Displays Does The Retina Support
Jun 14, 2012How many external displays dose the Retina MBP support? I have herd conflicting information about this, an apple store employee told me that it could support 2 thunderbolt displays while simultaneously running a HDMI connected display (witch would be awesome if true) but I am extremely skeptical, that seems like to much for one GPU.

MacBook Pro :: Text Displays Too Small In Mail App
Jun 30, 2012I just received the 15" MacBook Pro with enhanced resolution screen (not the Retina display). At the highest resolution, all of the fonts display incredibily small. However, the lower resolution options don't seem to match the aspect ratio of the screen and create distortion. I can deal with this on Safari because it allows pinch and zoom resizing. However, I have not figured out how to zoom in on the Mail app. Using Command + is not a good solution because it actually increases the font size that the recipient views. I have to go all the to 30pt font to make it comfortable to view. Also, using Control and two finger swipe to zoom in a poor option as well because not everything will display.

MacBook Pro :: Displays A Diagonally Patterned Screen?
Jul 6, 2012My MacBook Pro will begin to boot when the screen suddenly becomes distorted by an alternately patterned gray screen. I have performed 2 safeboots and after them, it seems to work fine for just a few (3,4) boots after that. One time when it booted successfully, the screen's background light began to flash very quickly until the screen was distorted again like in the beginning.
I've tried cleaning the PRAM and the NVRAM also but it did not fix the problem.

MacBook Pro :: Future Of MBP's - IPS Displays With Black Frames, Built-in SSD
Oct 24, 2010What do you expect of the next generation of MBP's?I think no optical drive is a given, at least for the sub 17" models. I'm more curious if they will ditch the drive bay like they did with the MBA's. I think the next generation of MBPs will have IPS displays with black frames, built-in SSD, very long battery life and strong specs. Imagine a 13" MBP without a drive bay and optical drive could have room for more battery and discrete graphics card, and probably even be thinner than the current crop.
