How do Dual Monitor with my Mac Book Pro (Boot camped with Windows 8) through my mini display port VIA Thunderbolt to a iMac (Model Mid 2011)?

So I have a Mac Book Pro with a bootcamp Windows 8. I dual monitor on the Mac side with my Mid 2011 iMac through my mini display port via thunder bolt cable. In my perfect world, I would be able to switch to the Windows side and have the iMac mirror or extend my windows display for my gaming pleasure, etc. I'm not sure if it's just a simple driver or that it cannot be done. Please help. Thanks.

so you want the notebook forum, not this one

  • Mac book pro Boot Camp / track pad

    Hello, recently i bought a Mac Book Pro- 15.4 inch- 2.4 ghz- I want to run windows on the computer as a dual boot using boot camp. I noticed that parallels has an option to sorta "steal" my curent desktop PC's information and use that as the windows part. Is there a way to do this with bootcamp so i do not need to re-purchase windows? if so please share :]. Also i dont know if this is normal or not but my tackpad (edge nearest the keyboard) seems like it doesnt have very much adhesive under it, because it starts sticking up like a sticker does when its running out of adhesive. is this something easily fixed by the genious bar, or do i need to leave it for awhile.
    Thanks for you help,
    James Gravis

    You should probably post your question in the Boot Camp discussions:

  • Installing Windows XP 2002 Sp2 On mac book pro, Boot Camp

    I have a mac book pro and i want to install windows XP on it, but i ran into a problem.
    While using boot camp i followed the instructions and i got to the point where Windows XP is supposed to ask for partition drive, but in my case it gives me an error saying that Windows XP disc is not valid. I bought my Windows XP Sp 2 Disc at wal mart couple of years ago. It works fine on my HP PC but not on this one. What is the problem and why does it do that?

    You should ask in the Bootcamp forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237

  • Mac book pro / boot camp "answers" for dummies

    I followed the Installation and Setup Guide word for word...there were just a few words missing that really made it difficult, caused much frustration and almost had a mbp fly out a car window. I am a dummy!
    Always print off the Guide and read it first, I read it as I went along and that was a mistake.
    Step 1: Updating Firmware
    My MBP arrives June 19 and already had the firmware updates. I did need to update OSX to 10.4.7.
    Step 2: Download Boot Camp
    Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
    Click download. (here is where the installation guide failed to mention some key instructions) Before you can "Burn a Macintosh CD" you must follow the next few steps.
    a.) Agree to terms
    b.) Select the Macintosh HD
    c.) When its done downloading double-click the package icon on your desktop
    d.) Put in your blank recordable cd, go into your HD, Applications, Utilites folder, double-click the boot-camp icon.
    e.)This is where the installation guide picks up the rest of the instructions. A screen comes up that allows you to burn a macintosh driver cd. Follow the instructions in the guide.
    Step 3: Creating a partition
    In the guide they don't mention FAT or NTFS formats until after you create the partition. That was dumb! (if you read all the instructions first, instead of following along you would have partitioned differently)
    a.) FAT-Provides better compatibility, but must be 32 GB or smaller...now you tell me!
    Step 3 continued: Selecting the Windows partition
    Here they scare the crap out of you by telling you not to do anything other than select the C drive.
    a.) The first screen that comes up is the Windows XP Professional Setup, looks like the one in the Guide but without an option to select C:Partition3. Your only option was to "Install". My jaw dropped..now what??
    b.) Click install, the next screen gives you the options. (boy, I was lucky)
    c.) Remember what I said about the size of your partition and FAT vs NTFS
    Step 4: Installing Macintosh Drivers
    They mention here that there "may be" hidden windows that you must respond to or nothing will happen, THERE ARE GOING TO BE AT LEAST 3 HIDDEN WINDOWS....just be aware of that so your not sitting like a dummy waiting for stuff to happen
    The rest of the Guide is pretty word for word and easy to follow. Good Luck, hope this saves you some of the frustration I experienced, boy, do I feel dumb!
    Simple things you may need to know...
    1. "Right-click" by holding the control (ctrl) key and click the mouse at the same time.
    2. Select operating system by holding option key at start-up
    3. Back up your domain files if use iweb or else you will lose it all....talking from experience here!
    Good Luck

    Very nice write up.Should help more than a few dum...er,uh...people.

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

    You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
    From Readers Digest-February, 2005
    How to Complain
          You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
    Have a goal
    If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
    Keep it short
    Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
    Stick with it
    You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
    Skip ultimatums
    Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
    Plead your case
    Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
    Be nice
    You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
    Good luck.

  • Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

    I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

    Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
