Apple :: What Are Mini Display Port To Dual-link Dvi Options
May 10, 2010I have a 13.3" MBP and a HP LP3065 monitor. At times, I would like to use the monitor for more real estate. I know there is the Apple mini display port to dual-link dvi adapter. Are there any other options that I will be able to use my monitor at 2560x1600 resolution with the MBP?
The reviews for the apple adapter suck and basically all of them have flickering issues. I would hate to buy it, return it, and waste my time on something I know that has a great chance of failure.
I also have Logitech Z-5500 speakers that I would like to use with my Macbook. Would a toslink to mini-toslink cable work?
Lenovo ThinkPad W Series :: W540 - Dual Monitor Display Resolution With DVI-D Dual Link Cable
May 18, 2014I have recently purchased a W540 and connected to my Dell u3011 30" monitor. I used the Dual Link DVI-D cable that came with the monitor and plugged it into my Ultra Dock. The maximum resolution i can get is 1920x1080? When i change over to a Display port cable i can achieve the full 2560 x 1600 resolution? Is there something i need to do in addition to achieve the full 2560x1600 resolution with the DVI-D dual link cable? I want to be able to connect 2 laptops to the one monitor and only have 1 display port input so i need to be able to use the DVI cable on the 2nd machine while still achieving 2560x1600 resolution.

Dell :: M4400, E-Port Replicator, Dual-Link DVI
Nov 6, 2008I have a Dell M4400 with nVidia 770 and I also have a Dell 3007WFP which supports 2560x1600 native resolution. Does anyone know if the M4400 will support this resolution if I dock it to an E-Port Replicator and use the DVI output of the docking station to the 3007WFP? When I looked at the Dell manual for the E-Port Replicator (and also the Plus) it didn't say if the DVI output supports dual-link.

Mar 12, 2009I am currently in the market for a laptop for college. Now I am not looking to buy atm but I am getting ideas for the fall semester. My overall goal is to provide mobility in my life and not feel like I have to depend on the desktop to handle my computing needs. I have been looking at Apple's OS X for the past 1 1/2 years and feel it's finally time to start making the switch.
Computer Science Major
-Not intended for Gaming
-Not intended for Graphic Design/Video Editing (outside of iLife)
-Able to boot Windows (XP or Windows 7) if needed.
-Able to run iWork, iLife, iTunes, etc. w/o issues.
-Last for 2+ years w/o needing upgrades (unless desired) or replacement.
As you can see I will still need a dependent on Windows. This comes down to several classes that I have taken in which there wasn't Mac equivalent software to some programs I needed, so I will need options. What I don't know is how system resources on the Mac suffer when you boot to Windows. Would I need to buy higher system resources such as a strong processor? Will a 2.0 be sufficient or would I need a 2.4 or even have to look at a MBP's 2.66GHz? Now I don't know if I am overlooking anything else and I get the impression from looking at other posts that I wouldn't have an issue but just making sure before I spend the money and make the switch.

Apple :: MBP- Dual Monitor
Jun 18, 2009I have my MBP setup with an external monitor and everything is fine except that when I'm using two programs, the toolbar (very top bar on the screen) doesn't move.
I know that I can go to display preferences and select which screen has the bar but what I'd like to do is have say Photoshop on one screen with its bar and InDesign on the other with its own bar. Is this not possible?
Apple :: Dual Booting

I am going to format it as FAT32 so I have the ability to transfer files from mac to windows, but will that have an effect on game performance? I am mainly doing this to play black and white 2 and oblivion. I know oblivion will play well but how well will black and white 2 perform?

Jan 27, 2010I just want to be able to have two screens (1 monitor, the other my MBP screen) going at the same time and all that good stuff...
What I am looking for, if someone is willing, is for a specific list of hardware and software that I will need to do this (if possible). And in case it matters, no I do not have Windows installed via Boot Camp or anything like that.
The sites I have been looking at today are somewhat confusing even when it comes to what hardware to buy. I am in no way new to computers, so I have a general understanding of the components, but I just really need someone who has done this or knows how to do this, to basically just list everything I need.
Apple :: How I Dual Booted Mac Os X And Windows 7
Jan 20, 2009all my uni friends were boasting about the new windows 7 beta. I Thought i would give it a try. Here's what i did and what you could do i you wanted to do the same as me:
- download windows 7 beta from the windows website. The iso file should be downloaded to your desktop. Leave it there.
- On your mac os x, go to applications -> utilities -> disk utility. select the iso file on the desktop and press burn, if a window appears, select the iso file in it.
- after it has burned, go to your bootcamp utility and create a partition for your windows. i chose 50gb for my windows.
- then, with the burned cd still in the dvd drive, select start installation.
- Your laptop will restart and it will boot diractly to your windows installer.
- select your language and press next. You should be presented with the select partition page........................
Apple :: Macbooks And Dual Monitor
Jul 21, 2009I'm thinking of purchasing a new macbook with the mini display port and upon research I have gotten reall confused about cables that go into it.
The one I am looking at is the cheaper mini display to dvi-d, from what I have gathered it does not support a res higher than 1920x1200 and will not support a dvi to vga port, but what I am really worried about is will it support a dual monitor set up (one screen the laptop screen and a standard other screen that does not have a higher resolution.
So will I be fine with that port of do I have to buy the really expensive one to do so all these reviews have me really confused.

I currently have Ubuntu in Virtual Box, but I would like for my whole system to be able to switch from OSX and Ubuntu and boot or w/e.
Also, I have Ubuntu saved on my external HD iso file. So will I need to actually burn it to disk?
I also read that you can use bootcamp to do this.
So whats the easiest way to do this without having to reinstall osx(if I really dont have to)

View 11 Replies View RelatedApple :: Anyone Put A HDD In Their OptiBay - What Adapter To Use
Jul 28, 2009I'm going to get a 34nm Intel SSD as soon as I can, along with a new 13" MBP.
I wanted to throw my current 500GB drive into the OptiBay. I read that MCE makes a adapter.
On the hardware page there's a thread that tells you the chipset and the corresponding adapter to use, The MBP's chipset is ICH9/m or something,
Since the MBP is slot load, can I just throw one of those adapters in and it will fit (they are designed I think, for the laptops that are tray load)
Or will I have to cut the end off of it?
I don't care if I have to cut the end off it's better than paying the extra for the adapter.
I can 'eject' the drive when I'm not using it, but will it 'turn off' and cease using power? I don't care if my battery life goes down 30 min from it, but I do care if it's >an hour.
It'd be really nice to get a smallish SSD for my OS and a large spinner for my BitTorrent. I know I can do external but then I need to carry around cables and use my precious USB ports. I hate external drives because the cables are 1 foot long and they always end up getting thrown around as I move on the couch or whatever. I can't wait until someone makes a wUSB enclosure that's battery powered so I can just stuff it into my bag and not worry about that stuff.
Apple :: Defective Magsafe Adapter
May 21, 2010a lot of times when i let the magsafe get magnetically attracted to the port, it aligns crookedly (the side-butt round part of it sticking up a little bit) and I gotta push my thumb down to align it in place, flush with the machine edge. I can also do this and it will land straight but not if I'm being sloppy and careless with the magnetic attraction -- more so than the other 3 unibody MacBook Pro's I've had with the same macbook air charger). Do you think the cable is defective, it stills seems to be doing it with my computer. Tried it on my buddy's classic MacBook Pro (the magsafe adapter) and it does the same thing. Also, tried the classic adapter on mine and it has the same fit as on his. So I don't think it's my port, I think the cable is either defective or just more strongly magnetized and needs to be corrected with a push or something.
