How to connect a Dell's VGA screen to my Mac Pro with cinema display 27 inches

I have a Mac Pro with a display of 27 "cinema, and I want to connect a VGA Dell monitor I have laying around. I want to have two monitors to my larger work. How can I do this? What should I do?

Hello esala23,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

I see that you want to connect another screen on your Mac. You will love it, it's the best thing that I have to make my job easier and more efficient. Take a look at this article to get started with a second screen on your Mac Pro.

  • How do I get the normal home screen on the Mac Pro?

    I upgraded the graphics card in my 2008 Mac Pro, which has also bootcamp, but now when I want to switch it to Mac OS X I have graphics cards, boot in OS X with my OS X disk selected, restart and then it will stay, instead of being able to hold down the option key pressed during boot to get the drive selector. Is there a file I can change so that I get the Apple boot screen and the drive selector?

    Sounds like replacing the graphics card is a regular PC and not a Mac-Flash card. Only one Mac-Flash card will show a splash screen and allow the use of the Option, special recovery and other startups.

    Some mac-flashed it maps to select the PC or Mac equipped with a switch mode

    Note that your card will be used for all the features of GPU - but the 3D rendering acceleration traced the beam - requires a Nvidia GPU. This is a deprecated feature that you don't need to worry about anyway.

  • How to connect Labview to PLC Modicon Quantum (140 CPU 311 10) with Modbus

    I was wondering if someone could give some tips on how to connect Labview to Modicon Quantum plc (the card is 140 CPU 10 311).  I am eager to serve a Labview HMI to control the controller that is used to implement the control PID with a VFD.  Currently I can communicate via Modbus to the API for programming using UnityPro XL, but I have no idea how to connect Labview.  I read the article on place OR "connect Labview to any PLC via Modbus", but I don't know yet.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Greener.

    Communicate with the PLC via Modbus usually requires the Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module to have this feature available in LabVIEW. The white paper which indicated you using this module, which may explain why you can't get the communication at work. If this is something you don't have, and purchasing a license is not an option, then you might be able to use Modbus unofficial libraries to get the functionality you need. I have included a link below to a Modbus for LabVIEW library that you can try.

    (1) any solution to this? It is an old machine, worked great so I would like to continue using it if possible, but do not want to put money in it at this stage.

  • How to properly plug (3) 4 k monitors on my mac pro?

    I have ASUS (2) 4 k work monitors and a Samsung 48 "4 k monitor TV/Client UHD to go with my end of 2013 Mac Pro w / AMD over-pants D700 6144 MB graphics card upgrade.  According to the website of Apple AND Mac Melrose (I bought from the dealer) easily, you should be able to run (3) 4 k monitors - this, however, is NOT the case.  When I simply followed the instructions from apple won't even read the system a 3rd monitor - not even a 1080-even following the instructions DO NOT connect on the same bus.  The only ways that I could get a 3rd screen if even displays are making it work with an active Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI (Thunderbolt simultaneous usb AND connectors), which requires also a HDMI to DVI first, and then the resolution is only 1080.   The only other way that I could get a 3rd monitor seem even is by work through airplay - obviously the latency and loss of quality through this method is not ideal either.

    I was on the phone with Apple AND Mac Melrose Tech technicians, and nobody has any idea.  Y at - there someone here who can help me with this problem please?

    Your Mac can run six monitors at once, if they are all Mini DisplayPort.

    Other interfaces are referred to as "Legacy", and it can only lead to more than TWO of those without having to use ASSETS converters who have re-drivers of signal in them.

    You can not "stack" adapters.

    To debug, reduce to two screens and you'll usually be able to get every one.

  • Mac Pro is not displayed after the passage of the screens

    OK, so this is a strange problem but it's very annoying (at least for me). I just bought a LG Ultrawide 29 "display and connected via a HDMI cable to my Mac Pro (Home machine) and a second HDMI cable to my Macbook Pro (desktop computer). The Mac pro / Macbook pro good work with the big screen, HOWEVER, when I use my Mac pro and select the tilt of the screen to switch to the HDMI 2 connection, it works and rocking on my Macbook pro. But when I try to switch it back to HDMI 1 (Mac Pro), it comes back with a black screen and says no signal. Even if I plug the HDMI cable it does not work. I set the timer to 3 hours sleep, doesn't always help. I know he's not missing sleep because itunes can be played when I spend and still playing music throughout and continued when I try to switch back. The only way I could get is long, press the button on my Mac Pro and restart.

    The only reasonable difference that I know is that the Macbook pro is running Yosemites, while my Mac Pro running Beta El Capitan. I have a feeling, this is probably the cause, but I just wanted to know if someone has solved this problem somehow.

    Thank you

    Hello Hemlock70,

  • How can I add a previously installed windows on my mac pro installation

    Hi guys, everything becomes to collect my newly bought mac pro 3.1 (used). I'm moving PC, but how do I add my existing installation of windows on my mac? The mac pro is 3.1 and has 2 x 500 GB disks in a raid 1 TB configuration. It's just a matter of plugging my windows disk (I'm guessing No.) or is it a bit more complex than that? Any help or advice will be appreciated and hope to give back as much help as I get that I'm learning. Thank you

    You can install Windows on a Mac computer using Boot Camp Assistant or by using a Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox virtual machine natively. Refer to the instructions of Boot Camp located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/. OT If using a virtual machine see the instructions located on the Parallels, Fusion or VirtualBox sites.

    In both cases you can not use a PC already existing installation of Windows. You need to reinstall Windows on your Mac.
