Set your MacBook atop BookArc, plug in your favorite external monitor, keyboard & mouse. Now you have taken a compact laptop and turned it into a comfortable desktop setup for your home or office. Things like photo editing, spreadsheets and other projects are easier to see on a bright 24-inch (or bigger) screen. Using a cheap, external USB keyboard for your MacBook is extremely convenient and more ergonomic. It can make you feel like you’re using a desktop. To further simulate the feeling of using a desktop, you can elevate your MacBook by placing it on a height-adjustable laptop stand. When your Macbook Air is on Battery, it would simply go to sleep, turning off the external monitors and disconnecting Keyboard & Mouse. Close the display lid of the Macbook Air and keep it aside (only if you want to make your desk clean) or you can also buy one of those Docks or MacBook Air stands on Amazon to make it a neat setup. Das keyboard has two-port USB 2.0 hub – you can connect USB compatible devices or charge your iPhone. There are Mac function keys included: play/pause, next and previous track, volume up and down, mute, brightness up and down, sleep etc. Why should you buy this keyboard? My daughter needs for ergonomic reasons to need to raise her Macbook Air and will thus probably need an external keyboard and mouse at desk level. I was just looking at the selection at Officeworks and most keyboard/mouse combos have system compatibility lists which do not include Macs.

IMac :: External Monitor - Bad Mouse Tracking When External Monitor Off?

I have a 27' i7. I have a 24' DVI Montior hooked up to it via MDP->DVI adaptor. When the 24' Monitor is on, everything is fine. When I turn the monitor off, the magic mouse tracking on the 27' screen stutters. I am not kidding - it took me ages to figure out that to fix I either need to turn the other monitor on OR disconnect the MDP->DVI adaptor.

IMac :: Sharing Monitor / Keyboard And Mouse With Windows?

I am a Windows User but would like to get started with a Mac. I am thinking of getting a Mac Mini. In the Windows world I can share two desktops with a KVM for Monitor (RGB) / Keyboard / Mouse. I don't want to run Windows on the Mac. I prefer to have separate computers. I have considered maybe using Remote Desktop from Windows to the Mac or the other way around. And can you even use a Windows Keyboard and Mouse with a Mac. I assume the Monitor (with DVI) is not a problem.

MacBook Pro :: Why Won't It Startup Properly Without External Monitor And Keyboard

If I connect a external monitor and keyboard to my late 2011 Macbook Pro (running Lion) it starts up just fine. But if I try to start it up without these (or any other devices) attached, I get no display on the internal screen and the internal keyboard is ignored (the caps lock light doesn't light up when the key is pressed). However, I don't think it's a hardware issue, as a PRAM reset seems to work (I get the second chime) indicating that the keyboard is OK. And I get a second or so of grey screen before the screen goes black. I've tried resetting my SMC and my PRAM. The latter seemed to fix the problem once - but then it came back, and won't go away again this time. I've also tried starting in safe, single user, and verbose mode, but none of these seem to make any difference. I've been having some issues installing Windows (under both BootCamp and Parallels) but wouldn't have thought that these were related.

MacBook Pro :: Connect To External Monitor With Wireless Keyboard

I want to buy a 19inch monitor for my desk because I am going to start coding and the display on my Mac is too small and I want something a little bigger.
What I want to do is connect my macbook to the external monitor with my wireless keyboard and mouse connected to the mac and then close the lid and the display is on the external monitor. So in other words, my macbook is becoming a Mac mini.

MacBook :: Laptop Doesn't Recognize External Keyboard And Mouse

When my laptop stopped recognizing my external keyboard and mouse I searched the discussions and found an answer that has worked, but only temporarily. It was to do a PRAM reset 3 times and when I do this the keyboard and mouse work fine. But when I disconnect the mouse and keyboard and then later reconnect it will not recognize them. I have repeated the PRAM reset 3 times each time this has happened (4 times) and they work fine but then there is always a problem when I disconnect and reconnect.

MacBook Pro :: How To Use A Dual Monitor Setup With An HPw22

Just ordered a 17' MBP and am looking to use a dual monitor setup with an HPw22. I've tried to do some research on my own but am still unsure about what adapter I should go with as this is my first time attempting to run a dual monitor setup. Below are the specs of the monitor for the interfaces with a link to the entire specs.
Interfaces 1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) , 1 x DVI-D - 24 pin digital DVI

MacBook :: Using External Monitor With New MB (2.4GHz)/monitor Sleep?

I picked up a new MacBook yesterday and I noticed a weird issue when coming out of 'monitor sleep' mode, not regular sleep mode.
When I move the mouse, the external monitor shows what you see in the picture, kinda like a TV with no signal. The MacBook screen works fine so what I just do is unplug and re-plug in the DVI plug and everything is good again.
My 24 inch Dell monitor worked fine with my M1330 and other computers so I know it's not that. Does anyone have the same issue or maybe give me some light on this?

As said, my current set up is an HDMI - DVI cable (HDMI to monitor and DVI to adapter) and my DVI - mini DisplayPort adapter, everything is connected fine but when I turn on the monitor, it says cable not found... and nothing is displayed on the screen but on the Macbook side of things, it sees the monitor is connected (I can extend the screen and leave the screen) but other than that, it appears I cannot get an image on the monitor, pressing every button on the monitor does not work either.
Any other information that may seem necessary, let me know. I tried clearing my PRAM and clearing the power and such but nothing seems to work.

Mac Pro :: Dual Monitor Setup For Mac Pro?

Hardware :: Powerbook With Broken Monitor - Force Boot To External Monitor?

I have a G4 powerbook with an LCD that only displays the top 25% of the screen. I've been using an external monitor with it just fine. Today, I reinstalled the OS and ran into a problem. The main OSX startup menu (you know, where it asks for your location, timezone, personal info, etc) is prompting me for information, and I can't see the forms to fill them in! The external monitor defaults to 'extended' as opposed to 'mirrored', and the forms are embedded, meaning I can't drag them over to my external monitor. Obviously, if I can't fill out these forms and get to the desktop, the laptop is completely useless.
Does anyone know how to force the external monitor to be 'mirrored' from startup? Is there a keycommand?

OS X :: Monitor Suddenly Goes Completely White / External Monitor Goes Black

I have been using the latest macbook pro 13.3' since April 2010. Over the last week the monitor suddenly goes completely white and the external monitor goes black. The laptop becomes unresponsive although the programmes opened continue running (e.g a skype voice call would continue without interruption although the monitor is all white).
The only solution at the moment is to press the turn off button for a few seconds then switch the laptop on again. It will then work normally until for no apparent reason this happens again.

You can use an external display or projector with a Mac notebook while its built-in display is closed. This is known as closed-clamshell or closed-display mode.

Check requirements

To use closed-display mode with your Mac notebook, here's what you need:

External Mouse For Macbook Pro

• An AC power adapter or an external display that provides power over USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C).
• An external keyboard and mouse or trackpad, either USB or wireless.
• A USB-C to USB adapter or cable if you're using a USB mouse or keyboard with a Mac that has USB-C ports.
• An external display or projector.

Enable closed-display mode

1. Connect your USB keyboard or mouse to your Mac or external display, or pair your Bluetooth keyboard or mouse with your Mac. If you use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, then verify Bluetooth is on.
2. Connect your Mac to power with the AC power adapter. Some external displays, like the LG UltraFine 5K, also charge your Mac.
3. Connect your external display or projector to the appropriate port on your Mac. Use an Apple video adapter if necessary. Some external displays have a USB cable that needs to be connected to your Mac.
4. After your Mac notebook's desktop appears on the external display, close your computer's lid. You might have to press a key or click your mouse to wake the external display.

If your external display or projector doesn't turn on after you connect it to your Mac, connect your display while your Mac is asleep or off, then wake or turn on your Mac.
