Try going to System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. See if that works for ya. Macs are great but are sometimes a pain in the ass. Good luck.

Get a PC. (Yes I'm absolutely no help) and fyi this is the pics and video section, not the help me with my icrap one...

Wait, I think I have an App for that...

There's a few videos on youtube showing how to do it, and you could always try calling Mac Support...

i literally just plugged my second monitor (or tv) into my imac and it detects it automatically. I have had 4 macs and all of them have always worked when i plugged it in?



Sorry to be no help

I just can't constitute spending twice the money for a computer operating system with the same amount of memory and processing speed.

I guess they do look "trendy"
