Connection 12 '' Macbook to Thunderbolt display does not work (USB - C for HDMI / Lightning)

I have connected a retina 12 '' Macbook to a Thunderbolt display via two adapters, and no video is coming through.

Here is what I use:

1 USB - C for HDMI: (Apple USB - C to HDMI adapter)

2 HDMI to Thunderbolt (Monoprice adapter)

Any ideas what's happening? The Thunderbolt display is without a doubt, since power is to come via USB when I plug my phone directly on the back of the monitor. The Apple adapter works because I could try to connect directly to a LG monitor with HDMI ports.

The present model 2015 MacBook 12 inch Retina does not support the Apple Thunderbolt display

what I read.  The other models Apple Cinema can work if they are used with correct adapters

as other brands. Some adapters support the audio, while others do. Note there is

limits for the specifications of display supported; This can limit their usefulness if it is not better configured.

Special adapters and cables can allow to configure some display options for use with the MacBook.

The graphical support through MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro varies with the specifications.

The absence of a Thunderbolt port, use of adapters to provide only what it can bear MacBook 12 plug-in software component.

and the mini-display port cannot connect or transfer at frequencies Thunderbolt usage views. The

cure should be taken as built-in support for this; If the adapters could carry signals. A new model

could understand such an improvement; but there is nothing of this specification in the Apple Store again.

    Please see use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode and Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: continues to reappear and ports Thunderbolt and the target Display Mode may not work - Apple Su... .

    If command-F2 does not work

    If your iMac won't go to the target Display Mode when you press Control-F2, check these things:

    • Make sure the iMac that you try to use it as a screen that supports target Display Mode.
    • Make sure you are pressing Control-F2 on the keyboard which is connected to the iMac to use as a screen.
    • In the keyboard system preferences, if the check box is enabled to use all F1, F2, keys etc. as standard features, changes of command-Fn-F2 key combination.
    • Make sure that your Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt cable is connected to both computers.
    • If you are currently connected to the iMac, you want to use as a screen, try to connect to return to the login window. Then again press Control-F2.
    • Some old keyboards Apple and third-party keyboards allow may not control-F2 to toggle display modes. In this case, use the keyboard that came with your iMac to activate / deactivate the target Display Mode.
    • If your iMac is currently started in Windows, it will not be in target display mode. Target display mode is not supported in Boot Camp.

  • Satellite 1110: Secondary display does not work

    I have a satellite 1110
    Connection of a monitor second - does not work
    The settings are correct in what, move your mouse off the screen of the laptop and he enters the secondary monitor - but this monitor is empty
    Tried all the normal things - control work? Yes etc.
    I'm running XP Professional could be corrupted or is it more likely to do with my laptop

    Please someone help - new monitor for Christmas - just can't make it work

    Thank you

    Hello Nick

    According to your description, you can't write that the second display doesn t work. Of course, you have activated the option called extend my Windows desktop on this monitor. In this case, you can remove all windows laptop for external monitor screen.

    If you work with more different windows on this way, your work will be more comfortable. I assume that you do want this and it will be interesting to know how you want to use the secondary display:
    -secondary display only
    -but both with the same point of view?

    Remove the scope option and use the FN + F5 key combination and choose display to use.

    Good bye

  • Startup and display does not work well.

    When I start Windows XP it takes about 4 minutes to the icons appears.  They appear of normal size and the screen turns white and the size of the icons and programs and the internet are extra-large. I go into display properties and reconfigure and find his game on 8-bit!  After configuration back to normal display and restart or turn on again the same thing happens!

    Also, I tried to do a system restore and it does not work either. Please advise me on what to do. Thank you!

    Hi RhondaHeaven,

    I suspect that your display card drivers are corrupted. You have your cd/dvd drivers? If this is not the case, download your display drivers (you will get the model and make from Device Manager - click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> device-> display adapter Manager).

    Click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> Device Manager-> right click on your display-> Uninstall adapter.

    Uninstall display drivers Intel of add/remove programs.

    Restart your computer. Reinstall the drivers from the cd or downloaded driver.

    I hope this helps.

    Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and everything worked OK with the new facility, with the exception of two things:

    I would appreciate any kind of help. Thank you!

  • The Satellite A200 display does not work

    Hello
    I own a Satellite A200, since yesterday my screen did not work. I hear vista start in the background but theres nothing on the screen when the system is off.

    Please help me...

    Hello

    Go you through the devices different views?
    Using the FN + F5, you can switch to the external monitor or maybe TV you used this key combination accidentally?

    It would be also advisable to connect another external monitor to the laptop to check if anything should be displayed on the monitor

    If you're not going to see anything on the second monitor, then a default display could be possible.

    The A200 is not very old series of laptop I think the warranty to be valid. Therefore, you can contact the ASP in your country for and verification of the laptop.

    Good luck and greetings mate

  • Connect you to windows 7 password does not work and no disk password does!

    I had the same password for years.  I've never had a problem.  All of a sudden my password no longer works.  Help!  I have no disk password.  Don't know.  I have no recovery disk.  Do not no more.  I only RESTORE which I want to use.
    Can someone help me please?

    Can you think of anything else I should do to prepare in case something goes wrong with the computer.  I have the recovery CD I created them when I got the laptop.

    Can of course! Those of us who prefer do not re-install Windows from scratch in case something does not take the following measures:

    1. Burn a CD to repair Windows via Control Panel / backup and restore.
    2. Connect an external hard drive in a USB enclosure.
    3. Create an image of the drive system via the control panel / backup and restore. Store it on the external drive.
    4. Use the repair Windows CD to start the machine in Repair Mode.
    5. Check if the image in step 3.
    6. Update the image to twice a year.
    7. Use the USB drive to your regular backups.
    8. Keep the USB drive, far away from your PC for most of the time.
  • UserInterface-Guide (PDF), image display does not work

    Dear community,

    I have a problem with the display of images. I use Eclipse Version 3.4.0 with the official Blackberry RIM Plugin. Device Simulator simulates a BlackBerry 8300.

    There is a PDF Document on http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/tutorials.jsp called UI A11

    which shows how to set up a small interface, including the 3 images. After you have copied the source code in a new project Eclipse-BB, I have created 3 new images that should serve as a "canada.png", "us.png" and "uk.png" (these are the names of files mentioned in the PDF Doc) and imported into Eclipse. The code compiled without error.

    When I run the program on the Simulator, I can see the labels and buttons, but there is no images.

    I deleted the png of the eclipse project and added 3 jpg: I see no more.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    Sincerely,.

    Patrick

    Put a breakpoint after a lines like:

    _ukImage = Bitmap.getBitmapResource ("uk.png");

    If the Bitmap (in this case _ukImage) is zero, the system could not find the resources file, and then you said it to.  This should be added to the project, if I went in the JDE, it would be in the same directory as the source.  Not sure on Eclipse, I suspect the same.  So, add in the right place, and the bitmap must be found.

    Compiling and running will not fail if it does not find the resource.  However, you will notice a line in the output of debugging, but I'm not sure about this.

    And welcome!
