Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I have a MacBook Air that I am trying to connect to a Hitachi CP-x301 LCD projector. I'm using a Mini display port to VGA adapter but the projector will not recognize the input.

I tried to download a firmware update but my MBA said the update was unsupported. I'm not super tech, so I'm kind of at a loss. Ultimately, I want to mirror my iPad to the classroom projector so that I can move around while I teach.

Hi Teachingmyself,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.


If your MacBook Air and projector are not communicating, I recommend the troubleshooting tips found in this article:


Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573


Start with these steps:

Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:

Reset the system

You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

Best,


Jeremy
