HT4941 how many mac mini can you connect to a thunder bolt display

how many mac minis can you you connect to a thunder bolt display and if so how do you switch between them

Here's the official page on connection options (you can connect one computer to a display).

I've read elsewhere that you can connect two computers to the Thunderbolt Display, but you can't switch between them per se.  You can only power up one at a time.  Anyone, feel free to correct me on this, but my understanding is this is not an officially supported configuration.

    Can you connect iPad to Mac mini, Can you connect iPad to Mac mini?

    Every Mac Mini has a USB port. Every Mac Mini can run iTunes. The only catch is that you need to be running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) or later. So in general, yes, an iPad can connect to a Mac Mini.

  • How many Apple TVs can you connect to a server without it dying?

    Hi
    I'm interested in setting up a media server on a boat for up to 40 cabins and was wondering if it's possible to do this with apple TVs? Any comments? I can split the number of Apple TVs going to a server into floors of approx 15 each, but was wondering what i'd need to make it work? Just a big meaty PC with loads of Memory or is it just destined to fail?
    I'm wondering how many apple TVs you can connect to a server. Obviously wired as wireless is just not an option.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Assuming your 40 cabins are not all for your own personal use, have you considered licensing issues relating to streaming to up to 40 TVs on a boat?
    Unless you have an appropriate license with a supplier that provides legal music/movies in a suitable format for AppleTV, I would imagine installing such a system in a non-personal environment would be a bit dubious.
    There are undoubtedly commercial solutions of one kind of another, but AppleTV is not marketed in this way as far as I'm aware.

  • How many Mac Mini's sold? and what has been the most popular Mac?

    How many Mac Mini's sold? and what has been the most popular Mac? Curious, Bill

    If you visit Apple's PR Library, you can find the quarterly sales results posted. Each one has a PDF you can download that includes a summary of Macs sold. The most recent one, from April 19, 2006, includes a PDF ("Data Summary" at the top of the press release) that only breaks down the Macs sold into "desktop" and "portable" computers. There's no way to distinguish between iMacs, G5 towers, Xserves and Mac minis in the desktop category. Older press releases like that (for example, the April, 2005 release) break down the desktops into iMacs and PowerMacs, but the iMac group includes the Mac minis and eMacs so it's still not possible to figure out exactly how many Mac minis were sold.
    So, unless Apple releases the numbers separately, I'm not sure it's possible to answer your question.

    Hi Prabhakant
    Based on the MXI-Express datasheet and the MXI-4 Series User Manual "The PCI specification makes provisions for up to 255 bus segments to simultaneously exist in a PCI hierarchy and MXI-4 hardware provides everything needed to support those provisions." 
    I'll get back to you after speaking to a specialist.

  • Macbook/mac mini can ethernet connected[crossover] with another PC-windows?

    macbook / mac mini can ethernet connected crossover with another PC - windows like Sony VAIO laptop VGN-A297XP CEZ ? If yes can share all services like pc-pc connection ? IF Ethernet speed is 100/1000 for this laptop what is connection speed mac-pc ?

    If you temporarily connect the Mac Mini server to the Time Capsule (TC) by Ethernet, can it gain Internet access now? Is the Mac Mini in the same room, different room/floor from the TC?

  • How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

    How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

    It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
    In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
    In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

  • How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

    there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
    I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

  • How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

    I'm a college student in Seattle.  We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5.  One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline."  Yup.  The answer is one...... or is it?  I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens.  So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline.  Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

    You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline.  You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers.  Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
    If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it.  But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

  • How many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain?

    Hi
    I may have some terminology incorrect...please let me know if I do. :)
    My question is, how many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain? If you want to know why I am asking...please read on.
    We have 1 ADFS Farm and we are looking adding services to it. However not every cloud vendor provides a "Identity Broker" with there services.
    We have a consultant that is advising that we need to enable a SAML-based IdP-initiated single sign-on (SSO) ie using "IdpInitiatedSignOnPage"
    However to do this we need to modify the ADFS website to have "drop down" list so the user can select the "Relying Party" and then authentication with them.
    This means we are exposing a list of every company/party we have federated with. The exposure of this information, is deemed a security concern by our company....which I agree with.
    So the consultant advises that we need a separate ADFS farm. I have searched online, but haven't found any information that confirms multiple ADFS farms can be implemented in a single forest/single domain.
    Thanks for reading and if you have any other suggestions...I'd appreciate it.
    Nyobi

    This is not exactly FIM related question - there is ADFS forum available on Technet. However - technically there is no limit of ADFS farms in a forest \ domain. It is just a service which uses AD and is not altering it in any way or storing some forest-wide
    information like Exchange. So you can setup two ADFS services in single forest - no problem. 
    If it is a best solution to your problem? I can't say with that limited information but maybe just customization of pages on ADFS side would be enough?

  • How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?

    How many itunes libraries can you sync to apple tv?
    I read through the manual and it didn't mention anything about multiple libraries.
    All I found was about streaming more than one computer.
    Isn't this supposed to be a product that's multi-user orientated?

    AC is correct, but remember the 5 streams does include the synced library (in case you don't want to move all your content over to your AppleTV box)

  • How many wireless devices can be connected at once to an airport extreme?

    How many wireless devices can be connected to an airport extreem at one time? I have 4 iphones and 2 ipads, a goolge chrome and 4 wired devices.

    Any AirPort Extreme produced since 2008 will support up to 50 wireless devices and 150+ wired devices simultaneously, so this should accommodate most users in most homes.
