Can i connect an imac to my existing windows network

Hi...I am thinking of buying an imac for home use, but I have run my business from home so also have a network & server which is running windows - will I be able to connect to the network for file access from the server etc??

There should be no problem. I connect my Macs to our Windows servers all the time.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.

  • I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    I have just brought 2 mini's for my boys for xmas.  1. can I connect them both to my existing Itunes account or do I need to set up something different. and 2. can they be used on their dads account as well as mine, or only one?

    You can set them up with your Apple ID if you want to. You can also set them up with their dad's Apple ID. Depending on how old the boys are, you can even let then have their own Apple ID's. The one thing that you don't want to do is have them use more than one Apple ID on their iPads.
    If you want to be able to share purchased content, then setting them up with either your ID or your husband's (?) ID would be the way to go. If the boys share an ID with one of you, they can download content that you have already purchased without having to pay for it again.
    If you and have the financial wherewithal to allow them to purchase their own individual content, I would recommend letting them have their own Apple ID. This way, as they grow older and eventually move on, they will have their own accounts, their own purchases .... No ties needed to your ID or to dad's ID. FaceTime and Messages will be a little easier to set up if they have their own ID's and they can have their own iCloud accounts as well. However, they must be 13 years old in order to have an Apple ID and iTunes account. If they are under 13, then it's a no brainer you will have to use yours or their father's ID.
    Whatever you decide to do, just don't switch from one ID to another ID on the iPads. That gets confusing and they could end up locking themselves out of one of the ID's for 90 days if they download a past purchase using a different ID.

  • Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Can i connect my iMac to a mac mini (wirelessly) and control the mac mini display on my TV?

    Look up "screen sharing" in help
    You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
    After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse.  Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
    All users:
    Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
    Only these users:
    Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
    Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
    Anyone may request permission to control screen:
    Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
    VNC viewers may control screen with password:
    Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.

  • Can you connect an iMac to a Lynksys router without an airport express

    can you connect an iMac to a Lynksys router without an airport express or base? I tried running it from cable>modem> wireless router and it doesn't sling to the iMac. The airport card in the Mac does seem to be on, and there is a network connection set up. It's an intel iMac7,1. I'm not familiar with Mac, I'm trying to help out a friend.
    At my house I have the same configuration going  from my PC to an old Mac laptop and it works fine.
    I think my friend had her wifi network set up properly, or it wouldn't be showing in the list of networks when I check.
    the router is a Lynksys WRT160N V3.
    Oh, and if I do run her computer trying to use the wireless, I don't get an internet connection at all. I have to have it hardwired straight to the modem.
    Sorry I've asked this twice, but I haven't had any luck. I must just not know where to find things on the Mac. I did try other places in forum before posting again.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    We don't know a thing about your iMac or what version of OS X it's running so it's very difficult to help you. Please note that information and also please complete your profile, then that infomation will be listed when you post in your next thread. You can complete your profile by clicking Your Stuff in the upper right of this page then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

    Csound1--
    If you mean does the network appear on the Mac when I look for it, then yes.
    I think my friend had her wifi network set up properly, or it wouldn't be showing in the list of networks when I check.
    the router is a Lynksys WRT160N V3.
    I don't think she has the security code so I can check what's actually hooked up (the network name on screen at least appears to be locked). She's had the computer out to the shop and back recently and has never even run anything off the wireless.
    I have a feeling I'm going to have to call her cable provider to sort it out. I'm hoping to avoid that. I don't know Mac at all. I could troubleshoot on my PC.
    Ultimately, I want to be able to hook a Roku box to her TV to run Netflix.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Connecting a wrt54g to an existing wireless network

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to create a second wireless network by connecting a wrt54g to our existing wireless network?
    Our main router is upstairs, connection in the downstairs office is terrible, plus it's being used by a team that would like their own network anyways. Can I plug the wrt54g into the main router, assign it a static external IP and create a second wireless network?
    thanks 

    great thread toomanydoughnuts, thanks!  all the hours I spend googling for an answer are such a waste when I can post a specific question and a human being answers me back  :-)
    I see that what I was trying to do is possible but before I start let me ask your opinion.
    My initial goal for a seperate network was to give Router 2 a static external IP and connect our server to router 2 so external users would always be able to access it at the same address in case Router 1 ever had an IP change (I don't have constant access to router 1 and am not supposed to be fiddling with it!)
     The secondary goal was to improve the wireless signal for those of us downstairs and I figure having Router 2 down there would provide a nice strong signal.
    I have realized now that dyndns can solve my issue with Router 1's IP changing (even if it's once a month it's an issue for remote users accessing our server). Dyndns will re-point our host name to the new IP if it ever changes.  
    But I still have the issue of a very weak signal in the downstairs office.
    Because I'm seeking the simplest, easiest to manage solution as I'm far from a network guru, do you think a better option may be to get a repeater or something like that for our downstairs office to just boost the signal from Router 1? If so, any recommendations?
    thanks in advance for your time 
    Oh, and if I did go the route of setting up Router 2, could I give Router 2 a static external IP address?

  • WRT54GC config to connect a wired-printer on existing wireless network

    Hello everyone,
    I hope someone can help me with the following issue :
    - I have an existing wireless network at home, set up with a wireless router/dsl connection
    - I now have been given a wired-printer, and I'd like to connect my printer to the existing wireless network, using a WRT54GC device.
    I have been trying for a while, and I believe but can't manage to configure the device do this, and didn't find this in the forum yet.
    As anyone already done this successfully ?
    Thank you

    What is the make and model of your printer?  What type of connections does it have -- ethernet port?   USB port?  Parallel port?
    If your printer has an ethernet port, you can wire it directly to your router.
    If your printer has only a USB port, you will need a printer server such as the Linksys WPS54G, WPSM54G.    These devices will allow you to use the printer as a wired or wireless printer.  Both of these devices support USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
    I do not recommend the Linksys PSUS4 (wired print server with 4 port switch), because it only supports USB 1.1

  • Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth

    Just got a new Ipad mini 32 and can't connect to my HP Pavilion DM1 windows 8 via bluetooth. I get to the stage where you have to confirm on both systems the generated code and then it goes in error. Not supported. Any clue ?

    Unless you have an iOS app that uses BT for a specific purpose, such as file transfer, BT on the iPad alone, as stated, does not support it.
