Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor?

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
Thx.

You'd need something to redirect the VGA signal to a DisplayPort connector on the iMac. Your other option is VGA is easily adaptable to S-Video, though its resolution is not as great as VGA and using http://www.elgato.com/ 's hardware for that. A third one is using a Remote Desktop app for the iPad. Several exist.

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
    Thx.

    No.  The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model.  It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2.  The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not.  If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out.  If not, return the cables within two weeks.

  • Can I use my 24 inch' 2007 imac as an external monitor for my PC

    can I use my 24 inch' 2007 imac as an external monitor for my PC

    No, sorry, you can't. Pre-Thunderbolt iMacs could to this, but with Thunderbolt-equpped iMacs they can only be used as a screen for other Thunderbolt-equipped computers. No company has yet to come up with a converter that works with Thunderbolt Macs. The only way you could get video from a game console into your Mac would be via a video capture device and the inherent lag in such capture would, I think, make most if not all games unplayable.
    Regards.

  • IPad video clips to iMac?

    How can I import videos onto my iMac iMovie from my iPad (without emailing it)? I Have iMovie '09 and an iPad 2.

    I have now transferred another keynote file containing the unedited video to my iPad and this runs OK, so there must have been something wrong with my edited file. Next step is to re-edit the video; better luck next time.

  • Missing video effects for iMac g5 w/ external iSight cam

    I have a G5 iMac with an external iSight camera and I'm wondering why I do not have the option for video effects while using photo booth and iChat. My wife's macbook does include video effects, so my first bet is that Apple decided not to give me the option with my OS upgrade. Anyone have a way to remedy this without spending over 2K again?

    DP, he has Photo Booth and Front Row, its the effects in iChat that he can't use, and I do think that's an intel function.

  • Can I use a 21" iMac as an external monitor?

    I'm considering getting an iMac or Mac Mini so I can run Xcode.
    My budget is low, so I'm considering just getting a Mini and using it with an old VGA/DVI monitor.
    However, as the iMac includes a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, it's actually the same price as a Mini with a mouse, keyboard, and monitor.
    Plus, the iMacs are more powerful.
    I don't intend to do much on it, just Xcode and maybe some gaming. Gaming is not the deciding factor here.
    I've been searching for an answer for hours, and all I found were outdated threads.
    My question is:
    Are 8GB of RAM really necessary for Xcode, and is the quad-core CPU of the iMac needed?
    I also read that an iMac can be used as an external display, but only the 27" models.
    I am looking at a 21" 2013 model.
    I currently use a Windows gaming desktop, and have lots of extra monitors lying around.
    Multi-display support is a must for me, and the iMac screen is way better than anything else I have.
    Is it possible to use a 21" iMac as an external display for a Windows machine using a DVI/DisplayPort adapter?
    I've read in different forums that "it has to be Thunderbolt". "It has to be a 27" not a 21". "It has to be 2010 or older".
    Basically:
    Can I use an iMac as an external display for my Windows desktop, and can it be the 21" model?
    I'm not getting a Mac very soon, so please take your time.
    -Thanks a lot,
    Nick
    BTW: This is my first post, so it's probably horrible.

    Hello Nick, A a warm welcome.. great 1st post too!
    I'm afraid using the iMac for a PC Monitor is out, unless it might be a newer PC that has a thunderbolt prt & can output Video through TB port. 2009/2010 iMacs can use MDP. But 21.5" iMacs work as well as the 27" ones for either method.
    Not sure DVI or even DisplayPort converters work though.
    Here's how it's supposed to work...

    Mid 2011s & up need Thunderbolt!

    Are 8GB of RAM really necessary for Xcode, and is the quad-core CPU of the iMac needed?
    Well, problem is twofold, 4 GB is barely enough for the OS & one App, & you can't really upgrade the RAM yourself later.
    I'd go for the Quad core, computers always get slower over time!
    Might be some 209/2010 options here...

  • Can i use my 21.5" imac as an external monitor for my macbook pro?

    I have a 21.5" iMac (with Intel processor) that I'm trying to use an external monitor for a new Macbook Pro.  Both machines have a thunderbolt input.  I bought a Belkin mini displayport to mini displayport connector, but my macbook is not displaying on the iMac.  I saw videos online showing this done with the 27" iMac, saying you just needed to press Command+F2, but that is not working for me.  I can't seem to find any posts confiming if I can use my 21.5" iMac this way though.

  • IMac mirroring on external monitor

    I would like to connect my old iMac 20inch to an external monitor. This external monitor(probably 24 to 27inch)  will play as primary monitor.
    What is the maximum resolution on external monitor if I mirroring my imac? My old iMac curent resolution is 1680x1050. Thanks

    You are running into the fact that the converters from Geffen, Atlona, etc block the ability of your current GPU of driving the iMac's display directly, which is why you can only drive the iMac's display at 720i, which is 1480 x 720, half of the iMac's display's resolution.
    Atlona makes a US$279.00 solution, a video scaler with its own GPU to drive the display at its native resolution. You would use this in conjunction with the DVI to mini DisplayPort converter. So overall, it is a $428.00 solution. You can obviously get another video card for less than that.
    The issue is that currently your PC does not have a GPU that can produce a DisplayPort signal directly. Any one of the video cards to which you link should theoretically do the trick. Then all you would need is a DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort cable.

    Perhaps you can explain your project to the developer and they can recommend the right card for your application, or guarantee that you can return the card for a full refund if it does not work.

  • I would like to use my early 2008 imac as an external monitor in the 2012 mac mini

    I would like to use my early 2008 imac (MB325LL/A) as an external monitor for the late 2012 mac mini,(not ordered yet). Is this possible in any manner? The iMac utilizes mini-DVI output, thus my hopes are not too good.

  • Is it possible to use an iMac as an external monitor for a MacBook?

    What is the process (if any) to turn off the iMac's system and make it essentially an external monitor for the MacBook?

    No, it's not possible. Your iMac simply does not have a "video in" port for the MacBook's "video out" port. While Mike N. (nahyunil)'s option may give the illusion that you have two monitors, it does NOT turn off the system on the iMac. The iMac must be on and fully functional for that option to work.
