How to set up an external monitor to display cell with lid closed?

Hello

I want to configure my new two external monitors to function as an extended desktop MPB lid closed, but am not clear how. What I see as I type this now is the screen MBP as usual, the external monitor to the right has the image of the desktop from my laptop but nothing else, and your screen to the left with the Yosemite stock to the image of the Sun and nothing else. They are connected by a Targus docking station, I guess that properly since both are alive and well.

What I would do with lid closed is the screen to the left of the screen MBP and see right monitor as an extension of the left. I tried to close the laptop to see it would automatically migrate to the left monitor, but it does nothing.

Your help is appreciated in advance.

In system/display Preferences, you can set to mirror or extend.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202351 if this does not work, you might have a problem with your connection.

    > The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Download the correct driver, the computer manufacturer please. "This means that you must use the graphics driver from the Toshiba driver page.

    The drivers of Intel, ATi or nVidia page don t support this protection!

  • Dynadock: set up for external monitors only in Windows XP

    We have a number of different laptops Toshiba dynadock DVI running Windows XP SP3 and dynadock 2.3 c with the video driver 4.5.14974.0.

    They all work very well, exactly as planned, except that the majority of users want to use with the external monitor only.

    We are currently their execution in mirror mode because the split screen extended mode is not necessary which requires the external monitor at the same resolution as the screen internal.

    All laptops have screens internal standard WXGA 1280 x 800, but find an external 19 "monitor that supports this resolution is a real problem with most being WXGA + 1440 x 900.

    I found a 22 "monitor is going to do, but the image is not very strong, probably because its native resolution is WSXGA + 1680 x 1050 and are also just a little more expensive.

    I found a document on the Web from Toshiba site we (Document ID: 98082393) that details how to display only the external monitor, probably with the help of whatever the external monitor can manage the resolution which would be perfect, except that it only works with Windows Vista.

    If someone has found a way to do this with Windows XP, I tried following the instructions of Vista, but I am unable to set the external monitor as primary display? Toshiba are working on a new video driver that will support this configuration?

    Sounds a little crazy for me because this is how the majority of the standard docking stations is used and many companies also have a significant deployment aspect 4:3 or 5:4 screens that obviously don't work well with laptops widescreen in mirror mode.

    Our users are currently using XGA 1024 x 768 in mirror mode which, on a big screen is stretched and defeats the main reason for having a large screen. We are the only ones having this problem or are we missing something obvious?

    Thanks to anyone with a useful suggestion.

    Hello

    Have you checked the Panel-> graphic Manager Intel?
    Usually, it takes an option which allows you to rotate the screen.

    There are also combinations of keys that should work too:
    Turn to normal: CTRL + ALT + UP
    Rotation 90 °: CTRL + ALT + LEFT
    Rotate 180 degrees: CTRL + ALT + DOWN
    Rotation of 270 degrees: CTRL + ALT + RIGHT

    Yes, you can use a USB port.  Here is a USB video adapter that should do what you need.  These adapters are designed for USB 2.0. but they make USB 3.0, also.  You can speak with a representative at StarTech to answer your questions about them.

  • How to set up a second monitor with a different view than the one on my laptop? [was: ron]

    I'm trying to set up a second monitor with a different view than the one on my laptop.  I have a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop and a secondary monitor View Sonic UP2365-LED.  They are connected with a cable 15 pin... my only choice on the laptop.  When I select the second monitor, it displays a box of a second on my laptop and the secondary monitor.  My pointer moves on both screens at the same time, no matter what display, I select the monitor 2.

    It depends on the whther the laptop can support both points of view.

    Somewhere with the right button on the desktop, choose "screen resolution" and that there should be only a drop down menu entitled "multiple displays".  Looks like you have "displays a duplicate" choose (if it will leave you) "to extend these screens.

    Hi mate,

    my suggestion is to reduce the resolution for the external montor. Maybe you have the problem that the resolution and frequency h/v is not defined as it should be.

    When starting your laptop, then let the disconnected monitor. When the machine is running, then connect the monitor to the machine (it s OK, it s not dangerous or something) and then go into the control panel for the graphics card. There you can set the options for internal and external monitor.

    Set the minimum resolution for the outside and try to activate him. It should work normally...

    Please tell me, what kind of machine do you have? You need to give more information, so maybe other people with the same machine can help you.

  • I want to get caught in charge double external monitor for my MBP with Win7 on Fusion, what should I buy?

    Forgive me if this is clear somewhere in the communities.  I have indeed searched it in addition to Google and I can't find a clear answer.

    I have a 15 "MacBook Pro (aluminum Unibody 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w / 4 GB RAM with backlit keyboard black) running VMware Fusion 3.1 and Windows 7 x 64 as a guest in Unity Mode operating system.  I have two screens beautiful external LCD on my desk.  I want to be able to run both of them with this software/hardware configuration.  To do this, I bought a USB to DVI DisplayLink solution by Diamond (as the MBP had only a single mini-DisplayPort port) in order to be able to control the 2nd external monitor.

    I noticed that when I added the USB to DVI for mixing with the latest DisplayLink drivers (it is the time where I was running VMware Fusion 3.0), it works, but not very reliable and it would break my Win7 x 64 VM or cause other weird problems too much.  I have had no other problems with this configuration in addition to VMware fusion.  As long as I wasn't trying to run a virtual machine with the merger, the USB to DVI external worked very well.   However, given the choice to have a 2nd external monitor or VM support, I had no other choice than to loop and choose VMware on the adapter.  Well, I took it on the mixture so I went back to the adapter.

    I got the notice that VMware Fusion 3.1 is available with tons of bugs and it whet my appetite again for the glory of two external monitors, so I upgraded to it yesterday.

    Is someone can you please tell me exactly what I need to buy to get the reliable support of two external monitors in this environment?

    And please don't say no double or Triple head to go by Matrox.  I don't mean for this set of compromise.

    Besides solutions Matrox, my only choice seems to be somehow supporting this additional monitor via Ethernet, Firewire or USB.  I want to know what are sanctioned for this solutions are supported by VMware (i.e. you tell me what to buy...) I'll buy it... and it works... works very well).

    Thanks a bunch,

    Ted...

    I support Mac and PC systems.  It's a complete joke that anyone would try to convince me that Mac has better bi-ecrans support.

    To the extent where what is the best solution for businesses.  The need to install a virtual Mac on a PC machine was never even considered because it is not necessary in the world of business.  I can't say that on Mac.

    I'm the guy who went to take care of both in a business environment.  Your brilliant mac sounds really cool, but it is a major pain in my butt and should be confined to a domestic environment.

    Screwed as far as home users, my Mac friends never call me on the East of their computer from viruses.  I like this very well on Mac at home.  But which probably has more to do with the fact that it is not profitable to write a virus for the Mac platform.

  • What is the largest external monitor I can use with Portege M400?

    I have a Portege M400-s5032x tablet and a pa3680u docking station. I would get a larger external monitor for use with the docking station, which is the largest monitor I can use?

    I have a widescreen 18.5 on there now and that you would go up to 20 or 22 inch widescreen.

    As far as I know that there is no limitation. You can use what you want.
    The only thing that may be problematic is the resolution of the screen.

    At the docking port DVI?

  • Portege R500: external monitor does not work with the Port Replicator Port 2 and DVI

    I have a Portege R500 running Vista with a slim Port Replicator II and digital monitor Viewsonic.
    I connected the monitor to the DVI port on the port replicator and got it to work OK.
    Press fn + F5 would switch between the computer screen and the external monitor.

    Then it stopped working, and I can't make it work at all. F5 recognizes just the laptop screen.

    If I connect an analog display, it is fine, and I can pass between the two screens without difficulty.

    The strangest thing is that, if I reboot when the Portege R500 is docked, the digital monitor begins by displaying the boot sequence, but then the signal is lost as soon as the screen stops the display of the progress (in low resolution) bar.

    I spent an hour on the phone to support Friday, and he made me nowhere.
    They finished by saying that he should never have worked! So what is the DVI port because then?

    Any ideas?

    David

    Connect your monitor directly to your laptop and see if it is recognized and you can go through FN + F5 between the two views.
    If it works, then connect with port replicator, and then try again.

    It's probably best if you reinstall display drivers. Maybe there are new too on the download page.

  • How to set up default InDesign CS5 in the system with InDesign CS4 has the default value?

    How to set the application default .indd InDesign CS5 when you installed CS5 and InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 has been installed after the installation of CS5)

    Thanks, but I already tried at first, but is not effective.

    I think that its because of this reason:
    The two - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named "indesign.exe".

    Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a default for the 'indesign.exe' Windows path. In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which has been staged "Indesign.exe" of InDesign CS5 has been replaced by "Indesign.exe" of InDesign CS4.

    But after long google and searching through regedit, I have the solution:

    1. Search for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
    2. Change the value of the attribute (default) for "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe" '%1' / / including the quotes
