Can I use my new iMac 20" as a monitor for for Power Mac G5?
Actually I want to buy the new iMac 20" computer with the intel and then randomly use the iMac as a monitor display for my Power Mac G5 when I am editing video and then unhook it and use the Imac as a stand alone when I'm not editing video with my Power Mac. Will this work please. Thank You
Hello,
It's not possible to use either the iMac (Flat Panel) (G4) or the new Intel iMacs as displays. The only options would be:
VNC set-up. It's fairly low speed of refresh would probably make this undesirable for your situation: Screen Recycler (link)
A video-in device. A device like Elgato's EyeTV Hybrid (link) would not be of sufficiently high resolution to be any use for video editing.

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.

Firewire 800 iMac as the TDM monitor for my MBA thunderbolt?
Can I use my Firewire 800 iMac as the TDM monitor for my MBA thunderbolt? Will the thunderbolt to firewire adaptor allow this to work?
If the iMac is a 21-inch model, it's not available that way but is with a product such as ScreenRecycler.
If the iMac is a 27-inch model, use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.

IMac as an extended monitor for a windows based laptop
Can I use my iMac as an extended monitor for a windows based Laptop while also still using the iMac as an iMac?
Hi tpskoog,
Certain iMacs support a mode known as Target Display Mode which allows them to function as an external display, but at the moment only other Macs with certain video out ports are supported as the primary (source) machine. You may find the following article helpful:

Using 27'' iMac (2012) as extended monitor for MacBook Air (2012)?
Hi all, I'm trying to find a solution how to use my iMac as the extended monitor for my MacBook Air. I saw the video on YouTube >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bVOssjlsGY << but I am not sure if it is real or fake. I have checked the forums here and other sources, but I haven’t seen any official statement about the possibility to use thunderbolt cable for this purpose. Do you have any experiences with that? Or can you advice please?
Yes, you can use the 27" as a monitor with Target display mode. Just attach the two with a Thunderbolt cable and press Command F2 on the iMac. It will become a secondary monitor for the MBair.

I have OS X on both my iPad and my new iMac. I purchased Pages for my iPad and my husband's iPad at least a year ago. All of my stuff on the iPad is stored in the Cloud. Do I have to purchase it again on the iMac? How do I get it to run on the iMac?

You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
(By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X) -
I have a iMac late 2009, just purchased this week,but not received a brand new iMac, i want to use both iMacs,the older one as a second screen.
The older one has mini display port, but no thunderbolt.The New one has thunderbolt,USB3 can i connect them together t ouse older iMac as a monitor?so if thunderbolt is backward compatible,can I use a thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable , would the data rate be increased if i did this?, Ive seen those available, but mini port to mini port seems to be more difficult to find, I take it that the mini port connection end of the cable is compatible with Thunderbolt. loads of variations of mini port with usb, mini port to firewire etc me

Hardware - new iMac 21.7, Software Mirosoft word for Mac 2011.
I presently adjust the text to allow two pages on my iMac monitor.
If I add a second monitor can I have two different pages on it so I can
see four consecutive pages (e.g. pages 31 and 32 on the iMac and pages
33 and 34 on the second monitor)? I am sure I can move items like
pictures from one monitor to the other, but will the word processing
software indicated above work like I would like it to?why would one of the pages be split?
Because you'd stretch the Word window across both displays and the screen bezels would be larger than the page split. The page spacer in Word is much smaller than any bezel I've seen, so the two bezels would cause it to break up a page somewhere. -
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.

Can I use my iPad as a monitor for my iMac?
I have an '06 model iMac running OS Lion. Recently the screen gave up and it is difficult to see pictures. I took it to the apple store and had it tested. The good news is it is just the display, not the video card. The bad news is I don't have another monitor I can use at this time. I was wondering if there is a way I can use my iPad 3 to take the place of a monitor. I want to mirror the image I see on the screen to the iPad. I wouldn't mind if it were done while connected to the iMac as I prefer using the keyboard as opposed to the touch screen. I just need a make shift monitor until I get a new mac (soon I hope).
Yes, there are a couple of apps that can do this. Read the reviews carefully, because none are perfect. Here's a writeup on one of them:
