Connecting your Macbook Pro to the LCD Projector pdf
Begin this process with the LCD Projector turned OFF. Your Macbook Pro came with a VGA adapter. If you do not have one contact the OIT Helpdesk at x4500. (Your students may have one.)
• Connect the VGA adapter to the side of the Macbook Pro.
• Connect the other end of the VGA adapter to a VGA cable that is attached to an LCD projector.
• Turn on the LCD projector
• Turn on the Macbook Pro
Note: In most cases your computer will recognize that it is connected to an LCD projector and will begin projecting your image. If this does not happen you then need to turn “Display Mirroring” on so that an image will be sent to the projector from the Macbook Pro.
Note: If the Display Icon is not on the top Menu bar then go to the Apple Icon on the top Menu bar, and select System Preferences from the drop down menu. Select the Displays icon from the Hardware options. Select the “Show display in the menu bar” checkbox in the Color LCD window and then close the window.
The Macbook Pro is treating the LCD projector like an extension of the built-in Macbook Pro screen, so you will not see your content projected yet.
