Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with the Apple M4 Pro/Sequoia chip. However, I’m encountering an issue: the MacBook fails to recognize our Epson EF-12 projector, which is about four years old. Interestingly, the projector is aware of the MacBook’s presence; it displays “Mac” in the input source and recommends using either Mirror or Extended display.
Despite trying these settings, the projector still does not appear, even after selecting the “detect displays” option. In our household, we have two other Macs—the older MacBook Pro (12 years old) and my partner’s MacBook Air (5 years old). Both of these devices connect to the projector effortlessly.
Upon connecting via either an HDMI to HDMI cable or a USB-C to HDMI cable, they are recognized immediately, without any issues. I reached out to Epson support, but they only provided basic troubleshooting steps. My concern is that this seems to be more of an issue with Apple.
It is baffling that a current model MacBook lacks the functionality that older models possess. Apple appears unconcerned, as the new MacBook works with all other external displays but not with this projector. This situation feels like a catch-22, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to resolve this problem.
Thank you in advance!
