So in that case, see which friends or neighbors have a spare HDTV or monitor.)Īpple's OS X offers a workaround that would better suit somebody looking to rescue data off an unsalvageable laptop before wiping their user account from the machine and recycling it: the " target disk mode" option that enables a second Mac to browse and copy the contents of the first as if it were an external hard drive. (Analog televisions, however, lack VGA and HDMI ports and, more importantly, the resolution to mirror a laptop's display clearly. But looking at how desktop sales have cratered, I'll bet that far more of you own an HDTV than have access to a spare CRT or LCD monitor. You could also use a standard computer monitor for this job instead of a TV.
But if you only see a blank area of your desktop, without any open windows or a menu bar, try hitting the Command and F1 keys to switch OS X back to mirroring the built-in screen. I've yet to see a Mac not detect an external display.
