Hello!
I bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro in August of 2010. I love this Mac and I have easily been able to function with it. I can do almost anything I have thought of doing with this except for this one task: setting up another monitor so I can have a dual screen monitor.
I have an HPvs17e monitor. I recently bought a VGA adapter to Display port for my Mac. So everything is connected. The monitor is plugged in to an outlet and the display chord is plugged in to my VGA adapter and that is plugged in to my mac. I then go to system preferences, display, and then I get lost. The Mac recognizes that there is another monitor but the monitor won't show a picture. I try turning the monitor on and off but all I get is a message that reads "Monitor going to sleep".
Like I said, everything is connected, no cables or chords are missing (for all I know) and I feel like everything else is fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really could use the dual set up.
Thanks again!
Matt
