Anyone come up with a docking solution for MacBook- iMac

I still miss the days with the DuoDock.
I use my laptop heavily for work but when I'm home I'd love to just slip it (with lid CLOSED!) and plug a single cable in and have the video be presented on my iMac 27" (perhaps as a Spaces as another desktop screen).
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks

Hi there,
Depending on the age of your iMac, this may be possible. I have included a couple of links that I would recommend taking a look at below.

Anyone aware of a tape drive solution for the iMac?

I have transitioned to an all digital video workflow and use an Intel based iMac as my editing system. Since I no longer use the mini-dv tapes, I need to find a reliable storage solution to archive my original footage. I believe LTO tapes to be my best bet. I'm having trouble finding an external tape drive to work with my iMac because I don't have a SCSI interface on my iMac or can't locate a tape drive with a Firewire or Thunderbolt interface. Any suggestions?

In the past I used Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac - VHS to DVD Conversion Mac Software, but that was back in Leopard/Snow Leopard and I don't see support for Lion.
Another thing that also worked well for getting those old mini vhs tapes into the iMac. Was to connect either the tape camcorder or the video tape in a mini tape adapter up to a standard DVD recorder and burn a DVD that could be imported into iMovie or your video software.

HAS ANYONE COME UP WITH 5.1 SOUND ON EARY 09 IMAC

OTHER THAN CONNECTING TO A HOME AUDIO SYS. HAS ANYONE COME UP WITH A COMBO OF
AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT TO USE FOR 5.1 SOUND ... THANX ....NEAL702

Neal702,
Please don't type in all caps, it is considered shouting and rude. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, it's just good netiquette.
Anyhow the iMac will put out 5.1 sound assuming that is what you are trying to do. I recommend you find a cable similar to this:

Has anyone come up with criteria on who should have an iPad at work?

Has anyone come up with criteria on who should have an iPad at work?

I'm in health care as well...the executives will probably be the first to get them since they are the ones that sign the invoices.....but seriously the iPad has a number of uses in health care...patient education, display of real time clinical data through a vpn connection and in-house apps, desktop virtualization etc. I really believe if you can get the devices in the hands of clinicians, they will think of innovative ways to use them for far more than email, contacts, calendars etc....

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

Turned out the hardware was bad. Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great. Thank goodness it was a defect. If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

Hello there adell723,
I suggest taking a look at this article we have named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US.
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
If you have Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion installed then I would recommend using Wireless Diagnostics tool which is on your computer already.
Here is the article for it and how to use it to assist with wifi connectivity issues.

Can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

can anyone recommend a good 2TB external drive for my iMac 10.9 ?

The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

Can anyone help me with upgrading memory in my older iMac? I currently on have 1gb of memory so as you can imagine my machine is quite slow.

Can anyone help me with upgrading memory in my older iMac? I currently only have 1gb of memory so as you can imagine my machine is quite slow. I check in my system profiler and it shows I do have a memory slot open. It is using a DDR2 and I was told that the latest are DDR3 and I need to find out if I can run that on my model number. This info came from a tech guy at best buy.

That is what I needed. You can upgrade to a maximum of 6gb of ram and need the following type:
200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. You can easily find it online, here is an example: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400

Can anyone recomend a good sound/speaker system for an iMac 24" computer.

Hello, Can anyone recomend a good sound/speaker system for an Imac 24"? And can an external speaker system be hooked up to this type of Imac? Thank you.

Unless it is for reasons of poor eyesight, it isn't necessary to write in all caps.
Depends how much you want to spend. This one is inexpensive and produces decent sound. But it won't necessarily be room filling (that is, depending on the size of your room.) You just hook it up to the headphone jack.

souvikfromKolkata,
you’ll know as soon as the rest of us do if Apple decide to produce a new non-Retina model. My guess would be that they won’t do so, but that’s only a guess.
With Internet, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint representing your main usage, either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air would be suitable for you.
