How to connect my ps3 via thunderbolt to my imac 27'late 2012?

I have a new imac an old ps3 and will buy the new ps4 once available.
Is anyone aware comcerning a solution to connect these devices?
I need a solution video in (thunderbolt) to video out (hdmi) would prefer of course if sound would go the same way.
Thanks

You would need a display port to HDMI adapter. One of the newer features (which the 2012 iMac has) is that it can display this type of content like a DVD player to the iMac.

Use the above link to review that item. It also has a DVI adapter that you would not use. But the display port to HDMI is the correct item. Then you connect the PS3 to the hdmi on it. I don't think it would passthrough audio though so you would have to figure something out for sound.

  • Vmware fusion 5.0.2 cannot connect to network on my brand new iMac '27 late 2012

    Dear friends,
    I have tried to install Windows 8 (x64bit) Pro., Windows XP, and CentOS 6.0 using vmware fusion 5.0.2 over my brand new iMac '27 late 2012. However, neither one can connect to the Internet. There was no problem with the same installation on my iMac 2011.
    The network board recognized by Windows 8 is Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection.
    In the folder of vmware fusion's setting files on Mac OS, I found a file called Windows 8 x64.vmx, and
    there is a line as follows.
    ethernet0.virtualDev ="e1000e"
    Any friend has the same problem or can give me some hints?
    Thanks a lot!

  • How to connect VGA Monitor via Thunderbolt Display

    I've been using my Macbook Air mid 2013 with a Samsung monitor connected via the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. I've now bought a 27" Thunderbolt display, which I've connect to my Mac, and assumed I could now daisy chain my samsung monitor into the Thunderbolt port in the back of the monitor. This isn't working.
    Is this expected behaviour? Some people have said online that it will work if there's some other Thunderbolt peripheral between the Thunbolt Display and the VGA adapter, but I don't know what kind of peripheral they mean.
    Apple support says that my model Macbook air can power two external displays.
    How can I get this to work?
    Thank you

    I want to know if I can connect a vga monitor to the quad by simply getting a vga to dvi adaptor.
    Yes, you can.

    You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
    What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
    Boot Using Command+R keys:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
      3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

    How do you adjust the bass in the iMac 27" (late 2012)?
    I am watching Youtube and the bass is very distrubing. Isn't there a way to adjust this on an iMac OSX?

    AFAIK, you can't with the internal speakers. Contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane, and see what they say.

  • How to connect a PS3 to BT Openzone or Bt FON

    I thought I would post this information as it has taken me all morning, a lot of phone calls and reading on google to sort this out!!
    Problem I had:  I want to take my PS3 to my parents house when visiting and they dont have any access to the internet.  I am a total broadband customer and have access to BT FON & Openzone.
    I called BT directly and they said they didnt support it so I nearly gave up however I have now found out exactly how to connect!!
    Go to Network settings on PS3
    Go to  - Internet connection settings
    Choose - Custom
    Choose - Wireless
    Choose - Scan
    Pick whichever has highest signal strength - either BT FON or BT Openzone
    SSID should come up with BtOpenzone (leave it as it is!)
    WLAN settings - choose none
    IP address - auto
    DHCP host - do not set
    DNS - Automatic
    MTU - automatic
    Proxy server - do not use
    UPNP - enable
    Press x to save settings
    At this point it will test connection and show the IP address has been found but the internet connection failed, this is fine. Come out of settings and go to your internet browser on PS3
    Once you launch the browser you get the BT openzone log in page, enter your details if you are a customer or buy the package / whichever is your preference.  
    Once you have logged in you can then close the browser and launch an online game!
    I played Black Ops on BT Openzone at signal strength 100%, it was perfect and I had no problems at all!
    I hope this helps!!!

    Hi, BTOPENZONE is my normal wireless network. I only have openzone and pay monthly for it!
    Has anyone found a solution to the problem mentioned above with regards to the PS3 not obtaining an IP adrress from the OPENZONE access point? I alled th openzone helpline last night and am no further on today!
    Please can someone help me!!

  • How to connect 2 computers via firewire

    Can someone tell me how to connect a laptop computer to a desktop computer via a firewire connection, so that it shows on the desktop computer like a mounted server (i.e., not in target-disk mode but as a connected server)?
    I want to be able to plug a laptop into a desktop, via the firewire cable, and then synchronize various folders. But I can't seem to figure out how to "mount" the firewire computer, as a server, so I can navigate to the folders.

    See this about ethernet networking. Also know that your firewire disks may not work in this mode.

    Hello every one, I have a question. Can I connect my PS3 to my late 2012 iMac with 27 inch over HDMI?
    I looked in the internet but I only found such Adapters, for the older iMac's.
    If I can do this, please let me know what I need and where I could get this Adapter or Device.

  • Is it possible to connect my Ipad2 via bluetooth to my iMac

    I'd like to sync my new iPad2 via bluetooth to my Quadcore i7 iMac, instead off using the thin white USB-cable that comes with the iPad2. Syncing works fine over the cable, but it would be easy the use a wireless connection to sync iPad2 via iTunes on the iMac. Any suggestions? I've heard a rumor that iOS5 would support such wireless link...

    Transferring such data via bluetooth - music, videos, and 3rd party apps would not be nice. Via w-fi would be nice which will be supported with iOS 5.
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html
    Wirelessly sync your iOS device to your Mac or PC over a shared Wi-Fi connection. Every time you connect your iOS device to a power source (say, overnight for charging), it automatically syncs and backs up any new content to iTunes. So you always have your movies, TV shows, home videos, and photo albums everywhere you want them.

  • How to re install osx on iMac 27 late 2012

    Hi
    I have just purchased a late 2012 iMac 27 in with a fusion drive as the machine didn't come with a copy of the os how do you re install the os if required?
    Thanks in advance
    Colin

    There are three ways:
    A. Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    B. Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    C. Internet Recovery
    A third way is when you replace a drive or must re-partition your drive. Then you will restart the computer using COMMAND-OPTION-R to invoke a net-based Recovery HD with which you can re-partition and format a new drive then do a fresh install of Mountain Lion.
    Also, see OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
