Connect PS3 to latest 27": 3,2 GHz iMac - possible?

Hi guys,
Just moved to Zurich and left my FullHD screen back home - now looking for a new iMac 3.2GHz, 27" and using it as external monitor for my PS3.
Did some reserach but didnt get an ultimate answer if this is possible or not, seems like there are solutions out there that solve this problem but not entirley sure which one is the best/ if it works with the iMacs 27" that Apple is currently stocking.
Can anyone help? Not sure if that is of interest but i live in Europe so this might effect the adapters I require?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi Tom,
As far as I know, you need Thunderbolt to use the mid 2011 & up iMacs as a monitor...

  • Connect PS3 to MBP retina and then onto IMAC 21,5"??? POSSIBLE??

    greetings to all of you!
    i wold like to share with you guys ths doubt the i have, and i'm pretty sure i'm not the first one thinking about this... hopefuly somebody can help me..
    i know that it is possibe to connect the PS3 onto a macbook pro retina display with not that much of an issue. jut need to have the right cables and adapters, i'm cleared about that. AND i also know that with just a simple thunderbolt cabl you can use yor imac 21,5 (specificallly mid2011) as a monitor display for the mbp..
    THAT'S WHY i came out with the ide to get all these three things together and connected, in order to play PS3 and watch it in my 21,5 imac!
    I KNOW there are devices like eyetv HD, that allows you tu play ps3 on ypur imac 21,5 directly.. bt i'm currentlu living in croatia and buying something from amazon it's just way to slow to get it in here..
    PLEASE if anybody has ever try it..or knows about someone that did, and it actually worked, please please let me know.. i'm not an electronic gnius but when you think abot the idea it doesn't sound too crazy or stupid.. that's what i think.
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH HOP YOU CAN HELP LET ME KNOW

    To answer the question, there is no built-in way to do what you are trying to do.
    "Target Display Mode allows you to use a supported iMac as an external display for another Mac computer using Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt cables."

    For a PS3 you will need to use a third party device/software.

  • I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay.  Works perfectly with my iPod Touch.  The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect.  Running latest IOS software.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • Dose any one know if facetime 1.0.3. will connect to the latest facetime 1.1.1?

    Dose any one know if facetime 1.0.3 will connect to the latest facetime 1.1.1?

    I have same problem:
    I saw another topic on this but it was a couple of months old. Last month I purchased a ipod touch 5g. It runs great except the speedtest tops out at about .3 mbps down and 5 mbps up.  I don't understand what is going on. All my other wifi: Macs, ipod touch 4, ipad 2 & 3, etc work fine and get great speed of 9-15 mbps down and 5 mbps up. I can barely watch an Amazon video. Sometimes it goes fast but that is few and far between. I have tried resetting the network on it. I adusted my router for all the recomendations by Apple.
    It was suggested to remove the security on the router just to test it. I did that but it made no difference. This happens whether I'm close (10' or less) or farther away. Is there something I'm missing or do I need to return it?
    I keep seeing something about iOS 6.0.2 but my iPod Touch says I'm up to date at 6.0.1
    thanks,
    Bryce

  • Any suggestions, or fixes, as to why I have to rebuild my library after EVERY shutdown? I am running the latest 10.6, 2.92 ghz iMac core 2 duo, with 4gb ram.

    Any suggestions, or fixes, as to why I have to rebuild my library after EVERY shutdown? I am running the latest 10.6, 2.92 ghz iMac core 2 duo, with 4gb ram. Install went well, as far as I know. No other problems. I fear, that unless I fix this, when I upgrade to a new computer, I will be taking the same problem with me.

    So if you start Aperture do some stuff in it, quit, then open Aperture again it starts up OK but if you then quit Aperture, reboot your machine and start Aperture it stalls?
    You're internal drive is getting close to being overfull your at about what 18.5% free space (some we'll say it's already overfull). You might what to think about freeing up space. If you weren't having any troubles I'd say it was fine but as you are experiencing problems it is something to look at.
    While its been doing the processing have you been able to open the activity window in Aperture? If you click on the spinnig gear (not the beachball)  when Aperture is busy you can usually get the activity window to open.
    Other then that not sure what else to recommend at this point.

    How many 3440 x 1440 monitors can you connect to the latest MacPro?

    Apple is not clean in:

    Can I connect more than 2 DVI or HDMI displays?
    Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adaptersuch as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all.
    However, that article says:
    Six Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch), Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch), or third-party Mini DisplayPort displays.
    So it appears you can with active dual-link DVI adopter or monitors with a display/min displayport connection.

  • How do I connect a Apple VGA Display Adapter to my iMac 2 GHz Intel Core Du

    I can connect the PC VGA side of the adapter to my external flatscreen monitor though for some reason can't attach the mini-DVI to the back of my iMac. The connection just doesn't fit which is odd since they both carry the same logo. I looked online to see if I needed a special cable to connect the adapter to the back of my iMac with no such luck. What do I do?

    I understand your caution, but the symbol next to your Intel-based iMac's mini-DVI port designates the port as a display connection, while not specifying the exact type of display connection.
    I can confirm that the same symbol that you see next to your Intel-based iMac's mini-DVI port is also seen next to mini-VGA ports on iMac G5 models as well as on iBook G4's.
    The mini-DVI video display connector that you need is a 32-pin rectangular connector, while the mini-VGA connector that you have is a 14-pin rectangular connector. Looking inside each, it's possible to count the pins. If there were accurate external photos not too small, you could tell there's a difference between the two adapters by comparing the shape of the mini ends. Without side by side display, however, they are apparently easily confused, as an Apple Store employee once sold me the wrong one for my iBook.
    The M9320G/A adapter you need won't connect to the M8639G/A adapter you have, but is to be used instead of it, as it will connect to the Mini-DVI port of your Intel-based iMac (as well as the MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4). The Intel-based iMacs don't have a mini-VGA port.
    Matching your proposed connection, the July 11 Apple Store review by "MV" of the M9320G/A adapter said: "mini-DVI into the back of my Imac, plugged the VGA into a VGA cord...".
    Your M8639G/A adapter connects only to the mini-VGA port on the eMac, iMac G5, 12-inch PowerBook G4, or iBook, but will not connect to any Intel-based iMac port.

  • Ipod Classic 4th generation - no connection to Itunes latest version

    So I updated Itunes to the lastest version and like many others I am not able to connect with my Ipod classic 4th generation.  Tried the suggested fixes, disk mode, re-install Itunes, etc without success.  Any ideas to restore?

    You have probably ruled out a problem with the USB connection, so the remaining possibilities are faulty USB cable and a problem on the shuffle.
    There are separate connection points for data and power, so it is possible for the shuffle to charge, while not being able to connect to sync data.  If the shuffle's light did any blinking at all, there is a data connection.  But since it never blinks, the shuffle seems to only see the connection for power, not data.
    To rule out a faulty USB cable, you'll need to try your shuffle with another USB cable or use the cable you have with another shuffle.  If you can't do that with what you have, and there is an Apple Store nearby, you may want to make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar (the store's tech support).  Take your shuffle there, along with your USB cable.
    If you can rule out the USB connection and the USB cable as causes, the problem is likely to be on the shuffle.  It may be related to the headphones jack, or the logic board.  NOTE:  If it has been less than one year since the purchase date, it is under warranty.

  • Set G4 1.25 ghz iMac w 10.4.11 to new virgin state

    Happy fourth all, I've a new to me g4 1.25 ghz imac, and I loaded, and updated tiger to 10.4.11, after doing a 7 pass erase, and would now like to set it to a new never been turned on right out of the box condition. I'll then be transferring everything over from a g3 imac after getting everything in order, and cleaned up on it. I've found a few articles on the subject but apparently I've not found the right article addressing 10.4.11 on a g4 1.25 ghz imac fp as I haven't been able to get rid of all the accounts, and I sure would like to.
    Thank you,
    ez

    Hi,
    For some reason while using terminal it wouldn't delete the accounts. So I presumed I've been using the wrong set of terminal commands for a g4 1.25 ghz fp imac running osx 10.4.11. I didn't fully realize this until transferring everything over via firewire, and setting the g3 into target disk mode. I was then prompted to replace or not my account on the g4 with the account on the g3. I opted to replace it, but more than halfway through the transfer the new pup here gave the power cord on the g3( it has a lose connection internally ) a yank, so had to start the whole transfer over again, and found out all 3 accounts were now duplicated .
    Thank you,

    As I said, I don't use Time Machine, so it'd be best to wait for an "expert" answer, but, with my very limited knowledge, I'd say: probably not - so, for now, I'd suggest you read up on Time Machine:

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.
