Apple TV to display iMac?

Can I use appleTV to display the screen contents of my iMac on my TV screen?

Actually yes you can. Don't know what the guy above is talking about. I use it all the time. Just click the airplay icon in top right hand corner of your screen that will appear when there is an Apple Tv on the same network as your imac.

  • IMac 27" with external Apple 24" LED Display

    Hi,
    I want to know if is there a method to sync the brightness of the two monitor. Everytime I have to change the brightness of the first monitor, and after the one of the second...
    Another thing. All the two monitors (the imac and the external apple 24 led display) have stereo speakers. Is there a program or an option to listen using all the speakers and not only one ?
    Thank you.
    Alvise Susmel

    My understanding is that the mini-DisplayPort out on the new iMacs does not include audio so if you only connected the Apple 24" LED display via mini-Displayport, you won't be using the speakers in the external monitor. If you also plug in the 24" display's USB cable, then I assume you should get audio as well externally but no internal iMac speakers would be active then since System Preferences only allows one sound source/output to be active. I think you know all this. Are you looking for a hack that would allow multiple sound outputs to be active?

  • Just got iMac 21.5 can't get image on Apple Cinema HD display - is it thunderbolt issue?

    I just got my new iMac 21.5" desktop and tried to connect my 21" Apple cinema HD display. I have power to the external display but no image - screen blank. I'm wondering if it is a cable issue even though the adapter I used to connect this monitor to my MacBook Pro fit the thunderbolt port - is this a port or adapter issue?

    In continuing my research on this topic, I found this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5198
    Short version, the 23" Cinema HD is among one of several older "vintage" Apple displays that are no longer supported under Mavericks. No brightness control, and it's likely to not work reliably at all. I can't say why I was able to use it for as long as I did with no problems. I take all this to mean that the display itself works fine, but not with my new MBP Retina.
    Though a tempting excuse to spend another grand on a 27" Apple Thunderbolt display, I opted for a $250 HDMI monitor from Fry's instead.

  • Apple 23" Cinema Display HD to iMac G5?

    The LCD dispaly on my iMac G5 has failed. I have an opportunity to purchase an older Apple 23" Cinema Dislpay HD. I've been comparing support pages for information but am not sure if this combination will work. The iMac G5 says I can use a VGA display. Is there a connector (adapter) that will work. The iMac has the mini VGA connector.
    Thanks for your help!

    I just ordered my new 2009 Mac Pro. I have a small budget for a monitor. <$500. Is buying an Apple Cinema HD Display 23", model M8537ZM/A for $300 a good deal in both cost and ability to use with my new 2009 MP? Or are the newer flat panels all that much better now?
    Thanks. Covrc

  • Apple LED Cinema Display connected to iMac 21.5" 3.33GHz

    I have an Apple LED Cinema Display connected to an older iMac 21.5" (late 2009) and I am using the Cinema Display as the main display. It is very dim though. The iMac's screen is brighter and this computer is actually way older than this LED Cinema Display. This LED Cinema Display should be way brighter, but I cannot adjust the brightness on it. There is no slider when I open display preferences. Anything I can do? Thanks.

    Brightness is controlled via USB.  Is the display's USB cable plugged into the computer?

    Difficut to say why it won't work, but my guess is your vintage iMac (about 2007) was never designed to output via HDMI. Your adapter appears correct (thanks for the Amazon link) so if you want to persist, you can contact Amazon and request and exchange to check it. But I suspect you will need to use VGA or if your TV has it DVI which would mean using a mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
    One last thought is you could invest in an Apple TV and then do it wirlessly. That would work too but requires and AppleTV to accomplish it, of course you can use the AppleTV for streaming other data too including video, photos, music etc....

  • Mini DisplayPort adapter for 23" Apple HD Cinema Display?

    hello all,
    I'm sure this has been asked and answered here, but I can't find it! (grrr...)
    I've got an 23" Apple HD Cinema display and a new iMac. The iMac has a "mini DisplayPort". Now, the Cinema Display has a 3 x 10-pin (not 3 x 8) DVI connector. The WIKI thing about DVI calls it a "DVI M1-DA (Dual link + USB)".
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
    For the life of me, I can't find an Apple (or other) adapter with the 10-pin connector to attach to the iMac?
    many thanks,
    b myers

    If it's the old, plastic cased, 23" display, it may use ADC (Apple Display Connector).
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    In that case, you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • Connecting an Apple 17" LCD Display to my PowerBook

    Hello
    I'm a complete novice at displays and I need some very basic advice!
    I'm thinking of getting an Apple 17" LCD Display off eBay. I know I need a connector/adapter and these seem to be also available on eBay although they do seem to vary from about £4 to £30! Do I need other connectors - say for power? What are the combined power connectors I've seen? I want to link it to my 550 Powerbook Titanium.
    Is there a specific connector I need? What do I need to look out for? Is there a reason why they vary in price? Is/was there an Apple part number I can look out for?
    Also, can I use the same connector to link up a non Apple display?
    What do people think about Formac flat panels?
    Any thoughts on what's best?
    Thanks Russ

    Hi, Russ. The Apple Studio Display 17" LCD (with a
    clear acrylic case) connects to a Mac through its ADC
    port, which is designed to feed video data, USB, and
    power to the display through a single cable. Your
    550MHz Tibook has a VGA-out port, which does not
    supply power to a connected display, nor does it
    supply USB to enable the USB port(s) on the display.
    Apple's system requirements for the Studio Display
    include an ADC or DVI port on the computer driving
    the display. Your Powerbook model has neither, so I
    suspect it can't drive the Studio Display at all.
    http://support.apple.com/specs/displays/AppleStudioD
    isplay17LCD.html
    All other LCD displays I've ever seen offered for
    less than $2000 are distant runners-up to Apple's
    LCDs in image quality. I don't recall whether I've
    ever seen a Formac LCD, but I would expect it to be
    comparable to the general run of the low-end LCD
    marketplace, i.e., cheaper than Apple's offerings and
    far inferior to them.
    When actual selling prices for identical items on
    Ebay vary widely, it generally reflects limited
    demand, variable supply, and differences in patience
    from one buyer to another. Someone who feels a need
    to "buy it now" will gladly pay a premium; someone
    who can take it or leave it this time and is happy to
    wait for a better deal next time an identical item
    comes up won't pay anywhere near as much.
    Thanks eww. But can I get an adapter which plugs into my vga port and converts to dvi? As I said in my post, I'm a no-hoper on all this stuff but I'm sure I've seen somewhere that Powerbooks like mine can display through an external monitor.
    I mentioned the 17" Apple display because I (like you) think they are the best. I'm not too bothered about the extra USB on the screen but what you say about power also is a problem Can I get a power supply as well as a connecting adapter?
    PS - I was also hoping to be ale to use the Apple display to give me a better view when using my G3 iMac DVSE but it looks that's a gonner too!!

  • Connecting Apple TV 2 to iMac

    Is there any way that i would be able to use my imac an external display for my apple tv 2?? i belive i have the right wires to do it but am unable to navigate settings on the imac to get it to work.
    Hope someone can help
    George

    Thanks for the reply and I appologise for not getting back sooner, been away.
    It seems that the iMac requires a reboot for any network changes to take effect, at least that is the experience here.
    I have a My Book attached to the iMac via usb which is accessable by apple tv and the imac, it is formated in NTFS.  It will not show up on the Macbook air, no matter what username and PW is sign on with.
    Thanks.

  • Display iMac 27" with gray bar

    Why Apple continues to deliver iMac 27 "with the defect in the gray band at the bottom of the monitor?????????
    Why not try them before sending them to customers???????????

    Yes, the 10,1 is a late 2009 model. If it will work depends on whether the pc graphics card will supply Mini DisplayPort compliant signals.
    Here is some information on using the 27" iMac in Target Display mode:

  • External Apple isight with a imac G5

    Really need help to figure this one out.
    I have not used this isight before it has been bought secondhand.
    Trying to use an external Apple isight with a imac G5 (without built in isight) running on Leopard OSX 10.5.8.
    looked in my Utilities and can't find anything relating to isight.
    Done system update and tried to download isight updater 1.0.3 but that does not work for OSX 10.4 or later.
    Many thanks for your time
    Additional Details:
    Also when I go into System profiler and look in FireWire it says unknown device.
    and also went into:
    finder/system/library/coreservices/isightupdater
    It will ask me to plug in an isight (which I do) to install and still nothing happens.
    & also best till last - No green light what so ever
    Do you think it maybe broken?
    I really hope not as it was sold as fully working

    Welcome to Discussions, jonsonby
    Based on the info you posted, if Defcom's good suggestion does not restore proper function, I think the external iSight is defective.
    The simplest way to test that for certain is to connect your iSight (use the same cable you use) to another Mac, particularly one that works with a known-good external iSight. If you do not have access to another Mac and/or another external iSight for testing, a local Apple retailer may be able to do the test for you at little or no cost.

  • Can't get anymore brightness out of Older 23" Apple Cinema HD Display

    Hey guys,
    So I'm trying to match an older monitor (Apple Cinema Display HD 23" circa 2002-04...I know) to a newer iMac.
    Currently attached using ADC->DVI->Thunderbolt.
    In comparison, the iMac is much brighter. I'm guessing due to the fact that it's newer and sexier.
    So just wondering if there's anyway to get anymore brightness out of the older monitor or has it reached its limitations? I've set the brightness as high as it can go via display preferences.
    I know these are completely diferrent displays and decades of release, just wondering if I'm missing something.
    If only I could afford that 4K...
    Thanks for your help!

    The Apple Cinema Display requires Mac OS X v10.2 or later, and one of the following systems:
    —Power Mac G4 with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Titanium graphics card; or with an ATI Radeon 7500, 9000 Pro, or 9700 Pro graphics card.
    No connection problems- ADC or DVI
    No resolution problems- 1920x1200 will show after connected

  • As Indian Apple website or store does not customize, can apple ship a customized iMac to India?

    And when I am the paying the cost, I would rather pay for an upgraded machine as it is for my work.
    Please help.

    Hi Brett,
    Thank you for the reply.
    But I know apple store for USA does not ship outside the United States, its just that in India, an iMac cannot be customized. So which Apple store in the world customizes and ships to India? That is the big question here.
    Because its not right for apple to customise only for certain countries and where other countries are forced to used the base models / products available only in the stores even when we require the higher configured models especially when our lively hood depends on it.
    Please help.
