27 inch iMac to a 29 inch Dell Ultrasharp U2913WM monitor. What do I need to hook these two up?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That monitor has got a lot of ports you can use. The easiest and cheapest way to connect the iMac to the Dell monitor is through a Mini DisplayPort cable, because you do not need any adapter.
Another way you have is to connect it through HDMI. In this case, you need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable

Can the late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13" power 2 external Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors at full resolution?

Hi, I'm looking at buying the current Macbook Pro Retina 13", but I'd like to use it with 2 Dell UltraSharp U2713HM monitors http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&kc=305&l=en& oc=U2713HM-Black&s=dhs&sbc=dell-u2713hm
My plan was to use the the thunderbolt ports to the monitors DisplayPort plug. Can the 13" Macbook Pro drive 2 external screens @ 2560x1440 I'm happy to shut the macbook lid if necessary.
If the 13" can't do it, can the 15" model with it's discrete graphics card?

Why not the Apple Thunderbolt screen, well I prefer a non-reflective screen in the office, but If I can't do it with the Dell's can it be done with 2 27" Thunderbolt monitors from the 13" Macbook Pro?

In a word, yes.
The video out capabilities for the 13" and 15" retina MBPs are the same.

I need to update my software to OS X 10.6.8 but my software update keep on showing that there is nothing to be update, my iMac is currently OS X 10.5.8. What do I need to do?

Some online resellers still have Snow Leopard in stock, but their prices are ridiculously high (Amazon.com is one). So your best bet is to call Apple; they will sell it for about $20 US as long as they still have stock.

Not recognizing max resolution of 2560x1600- Dell UltraSharp U3011 Monitor

I just got a 30" Dell UltraSharp U3011 monitor. For some reason, my MacBook Pro is not detecting that the maximum resolution should be 2560 x 1600. I'm connecting the monitor to the laptop with a DVI cable and Mini Display Port to DVI adapter which the Apple Store rep said would give me the max resolution and best picture quality.
Any thoughts on what I can do to solve this?

Hello. I can confirm that CrypticGuru is correct. I bought this cable which fixed the problem (same cable he lists, straight from the source):
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024606 &p_id=6007&seq=1&format=2
With this I now get beautiful 2560x1600 resolution on the u3011 and without the annoying audio error message from this other forum, where I cross-posted my experience:

I am not an image/video guy so I can't comment on color calibration, but it looks right to my eyes.

Someone tried to email me a video that is larger than 10.8 MB, and it bounced back to her. I have IMAC G5, Lion, Version 10.7.4 Lion. What do I need do to be able to receive larger videos?

Some ISPs impose email attachment limits and that is quite often 10 mb, some have other maximums. Additionally, not all users have fast connections, so someone may not appreciate getting large attachments. It is usually recommended to upload videos you want to share to an online site to share them with others. In your case, your friend should check with her or his ISP to ask about maximums.
FWIW, you need to update your profile. If you are running Lion, you do not have a G5 - those were PPCs and discontinued in 2006 when Intel iMacs were introduced.

Dell UltraSharp U2713HM Monitor question

Newegg has a shell shocker deal in about 5 hours for this monitor at $549.99 US plus shipping ($7.59). I have been lurking the hardware forum for some time waiting for the opportunity (cash) to build a proper editing system.
While that is not going to happen anytime soon, I do have a need for a new monitor. A search of the forum shows that other UltraSharp models are generally accepted as a decent midrange monitor. My main concern is the ability to calibrate it for use in the CS6 suite of products (using the proper calibration tools) for color accurate representation. The main use would be for premiere pro.
If I have done this correctly, here is the Newegg link to the monitor. The price shown is before the 2 hour window to purchase it begins.

Thanks all for your input.

Thank you both for your input. 10 bit color (which I don't believe I need as of yet) and usb 3.0 capabilities aside, if you had to choose between a U2713HM or the older U2711 would one have a clear advantage with regards to accurate color correction/grading?
The older 2711 consumes more power and I have read that some people find the screen coating a problem for them while the newer 2713 has the same screen coating but appears to not be as "bad". The price is about on par with each other as best I can tell?

HT1349 I installed a game into my iMac. Nothing popped up to install it. What do i need to open to find where its located to manually install?

I want to download a game I bought that's a disc. Once I put the disc in, nothing popped up. Where do I have to go to manually download it?

My caveats; These are not the only adapters that you can find. I have a feeling that these may be of inferior quality and I suggest you find some that are first rate. Too many problems occur using cheap connectors. After all your MBP is first rate and deserves the best.
Length is dependent upon your environmental requirements. What I selected here is in a format that should work. I like this configuration because of its simplicity. I use a Mini/HDMI adapter which connects to a separate HDMI cable. Nothing wrong with that, but not as tidy.
Ciao.

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

Does Mavericks have the problem fixed with working with the Dell UltraSharp U3014 30 inch monitor?

I have this (or a similar) issue and I did notice something interesting. After I boot into Windows via Bootcamp (where I have the U3014 specfic driver installed) and then reboot into MacOS X (Mavericks) the monitor works flawlessly.
I would hazard a guess that this means bootcamp is retaining the driver used in Windows. Kind of the reverse of the TB GBE adapter driver issue.
To explain my issue for anyone else: the monitor flicks on and off as if the connection was poor. Connecting via HDMI. Connection is fine and as stated, everything works fine in Bootcamp.

Is there an issue with the hitachi hard drives in the MacBook Pro's ? Got a 15 inch and a 13 inch at the same time and both drives have failed in under two years. I have heard from a few other people with same issue.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

Hi a,
http://www.mctiviausa.com/
There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

I have a MacBook 13-inch, Late 2009, I'd like to get a cable to connect a monitor. However I keep order the wrong part. Can somebody tell me what part I need.

The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

Hi,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If after reboot that doesn't help...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
