Don't like each other.

I've followed the guide here:

But it doesn't work. I can't wake the computer out of sleep with either my mouse of keyboard, it just makes that beep sound everytime you press a key.

How do I - in a nutshell - close my laptop and have my external monitor etc set up?

Your help much appreciated!
 
Just to say, the Samsung doesn't show the mac screen, it just shows a blue one that is the right hand extension of the desktop. Ie, it is not duplicating it, its extending it - perhaps thats the problem?
 
What little screen in the task bar?

Its defo mirroring I want, though, thanks guys.

I had to reboot, as you say, so that it starts up with the monitor attached. Then when it sleeps its fine.

However, when I start firefox it starts partly on the macbook screen, so everytime I have to drag it over, so its rather annoying.

I assume this is also because its not yet in mirroring mode??

So can you tell me how to do that?

Cheers guys

Have your macbook open and the external display connected . Go to system preferences > displays > arrangement > mirror displays checkbox.

Hi mate,

There is no arrangement section unfortunately - why not?

Also, robotocia, what do you mean, correct resolution?

Thanks!
