You may need to check the settings of your mac book that permits you to output the signal to an external display. Also you may need to purchase a display port adapter (VGA, HDMI or DVI) that is compatible with the input connector on the projector
Check the connection on the Projector
Toggle the video back and forth to the projector by holdig down FN key and pressing f8 key.do this like 3 time to 4 time.
hope it helps
Hi you need to check the cable to see if it is faulty you can do so by trying another cable or by trying that cable on another computer,you need to check the USB port also,try to connect using another USB port.
check that you have a signal going out of the monitor socket on your lalptop.
On Dell with projector connected and switched on, press the blue fn button bottom left usually, and while holding, press one marked CRT/LCD, (maybe f8) this will cycle to the following.
laptop only, laptop and monitor, monitor only, while holding Fn button press until you have desired outcome.
You need a external Mini DVI/Dispay/DVi to VGA/DVI adapter to connect it to projector.after connecting restart the mac.it autometically detect the display
you cannot pass a signal through a usb input. USB inputs on a computer are usually used from firmware upgrades or mouse control depending on projector.
If your wireless router is configured with SSID, encryption, MAC address filtering (if enabled) etc. then the Dell wireless card needs to be configured with these settings to allow it to communicate with the wireless router.
Check the settings on your PC's wireless settings, and configure the Dell the same way.
Make sure you have the right input source selected. It may be looking for a signal from some input other than the one you're connected to. Beyond that, if it truly isn't seeing the input then you'll need to have the projector serviced.
You shouldn't need a driver as long as the Mac video system resolution can be matched by the Dell projector. Considering you are using a Mac Pro I don't think this will be an issue. Have you tried it and it didn't work?
Hi,
Perhaps you can try lowering the screen resolution first of the laptop before plugging in the projector and then the Fn + F8. Thereafter, gradually increase the screen resolution until projector stops displaying.
The idea is that your current screen resolution maybe too much for the projector to handle. This of course is assuming that there is no hardware problem with the projector.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turn up or should you need further information.
Good luck and kind regards.
