Projector Problems in Class

If you are having problems connecting to your classroom projector, please try the following steps:

Mac Users

1. If there is no image on the screen (screen is blue), ensure that the cable is securely attached to your computer, and the computer has not gone to sleep.
2. Use the projector remote to check that the right input is selected. In most classrooms this should be Computer 1, however in some recently upgraded rooms this may be HDMI instead.
3. If there is an image on screen, but it is not the same as what is displayed on your laptop screen, try holding the Command key, and press F1.
4. If the image shows, but appears discoloured, please ask ILT for a new cable to be installed.
