Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter Not Working Properly
When I connected my macbook pro (15-inch, mid-2012, OS 10.12.5) through an adapter to a VGA projector, the projector indicated that it took in a signal, and the screen on my macbook also flashed momentarily. However, the projector still showed a blue screen. When I entered system preferences, the 'arrangement' tab was also absent.
The only way I could solve this issue was by restarting my computer with the projector connected to my computer, and it is very irritating that I have to restart my computer every time I want to do a presentation.
My adapter is a J5 Create Mini DP to VGA adapter (model no. JDA112). The strange thing is that when I plugged in my friend's S$5 unbranded made in china adapter, it somehow worked. Is there any other way to solve this issue other than buying a new adapter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
