Can I connect my A1225 IMAC'S as a Dual Monitors?

Can I connect my A1225 IMAC'S as a Dual Monitors?

I have two A1225 IMAC monitors that I want to run as dual monitors to give me the capability to use one screen for editing and the other as a home computer.  I have a mini display port to mini display port cable and wanted to see if I could possibly perform this action.  Is this the correct cable or not?

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

    Anyone else having this issue? Worked great in snow leopard. Updated to 10.7.1

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • I have an iPhone 4S and while upgrading to OS 8.3, I noticed that all my contacts are gone.  Can I connect to my iMac OS Yosemite 10.10.3 and transfer contacts directly onto my phone?

    Hey there denise.ca,
    I see that you have a question about one of the functions of USB syncing. To answer your question, yes, you can sync contacts from your computer to your iPhone using USB syncing and iTunes:

  • Macbook can't connect with/to iMac

    I've got an Mabook and an iMac, plus an airport extreme. Both can connect wireless to the internet, my iMac sees and connects with the macbook just fine, but when I try to connect my macbook to my imac it sees the imac (it shows up under 'shared' in finder, but it won't connect. It keeps on trying and after a good few minutes it just tells me the connection got reset or something like that. What can I do to have my macbook establishing a connection with my imac?

    I've had this problem before... hopefully your fix is as simple as mine was.
    You should double check the iMac's "Sharing" preference pane and make sure that file sharing is enabled. It's confusing because there is a "Guest" account set up so that everyone can get to the publicly accessible "shared" folders (that's why the iMac shows up on your MacBook's finder) but you won't be able to actually log into the iMac unless it has file sharing turned on.
    I hope this helps!

  • TS3048 I tried the suggestion  given but still the mouse and track pod can't connect to the imac

    I tried the suggestion for trouble shooting still the mouse and the track pod can't connect to my imax. Also I observed that after few second both green lights died out too . The batteries are newly installed.

    Unfortunately someone has since deleted the other post !!!   What I suggested was No green lights = no power.   And no power has to be the batteries.
    Check and if necessary thoroughly clean the contact points inside the devices. Re-check the batteries (were they promotional batteries from a supermarket?).    Put NEW quality batteries into the compartments (you cannot save by buying cheap batteries) and close the cover.    Then shake to see if there is a rattle which may indicate the batteries are ill fitting.
    From what I read here, the best batteries are Apple rechargeables and high power Duracell.   I use the former.

  • Can i connect macbook to imac via bluetooth

    I'm trying to connect my macbook pro (new) to my imac (new) via bluetooth. I know I can use thunderbolt connection but would prefer to do it wirelessly if possible.

    It's probably cheaper than a cable.
    When an AirPlay device is available, this icon will appear in the menu bar at the top:

  • How can I connect my G5 iMac to Telefonica ADSL?

    I just moved to Spain. The ADSL connection offered by telefonica seems to be set up with just PCs in mind. I do not know how I can connect my iMAc and my extreme Airport Base Station to that ADSL system. Do I need any special configuration in the Base Station? The ADSL comes with an inalambric Router.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Hola,
    Just to say I spend a fair bit of time in my house on Costa Brava. I take my Apple PB and wife's Acer Laptop each time we go out.
    I have DSL from Telefonica and it is the WiFi version modem all in one job.
    I did not set up with a AEBS or a Netgear job because we rent out for the hottest part of the year and I know they would get damaged, hence the Telefonica modem.
    What I suggest you do is got to Telefonicas website where you will find the English option. There you will find the company that provides manuals for their modems in english. Telefonica does have and should have sent you details of your password etc when you got connected. If they povided the modem it would have been set up prior to delivery to you. What I suggest is that you connect your AEBS to the modem and use it that way.
    Go here:
    http://www.telefonicainenglish.com/

    I am going to take a new Belkin which is surplus to my requirements down and set it up because it is all in English, mainly for the WiFi side of things. Once set up I will copy back to Xavi 7768 and see how it goes.
    What model of Inalámbrico do you have?
    Oh, I the forgot to say that when I first connected to modem via ethernet both laptops worked perfectly. Also one thing I place at the top of my list is that as the weather is so much better out there I spend as little time as I can on the computer. So we leave them on and connected by cable and only check when a mail arrives, that is of course if we are in earshot and not in the pool or relaxing elsewhere.

  • Can not connect printer to iMac running osx 10.6.8

    Hi, I am a complete novice and need help please
    I had an iMac and it ran great albeit a few little glitches with our HP Mulitfunction printer but I thought the printer was a dud.  At christmas I got hubby a new ipod and things went downhill from there
    In order to run our new ipod I had to install a new operating system as we got Mac OSX Snow Leopard and were sent by apple version 10.6.3
    I imediately had to update it to work with our ipod and now iphone 5's to 10.6.8 which is where we are now
    From updating I could no longer use our HP printer, sometimes it printed and sometimes it didnt, it alternated with being able to scan or not scan.  I uninstalled and reinstalled all the software and drivers and googled til my fingers bled possible fixes for the issue.  Nothing worked, we decided we needed a new printer as it was too old (albeit 3 yrs) and no longer was compatible.
    Cue today and we purchase a new Samsung Laser Colour Multifunction CLX-3305FN.  I followed the instructions on the booklet to install it and it hasn't worked.  Uninstalled it, googled it, reinstalled it, tried to USB connect it, uninstalled it, reinstalled in, downloaded new drivers, checked for software updates etc etc until I find myself here hoping someone can help.
    I think it's a network issue with the computer?  I really don't know but in lamen terms;
    All printers I can eventually get to come up but they are always "orange"/off line once I send a print job to them
    When the computer tries to send the print job, it comes up with an error message;
    Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...
    Refer Printer Utility for detailed printer status and trouble shooting guides.(Utility, Printer Setup>Utility>Open Printer Utility)
    YET
    If I go in through the printer utility I can scan from the device to the computer meaning they are connected?
    I've got the USB from the HP printer connected which is why I think scan is working but I don't know
    Ive run network diagnostics and it always comes back fine (green lights down the network status list)
    I've "pinged" the printer through the network utility and this comes up;
    Ping has started…
    ping: sendto: Network is down
    ping: sendto: Network is down
    ping: sendto: Network is down
    ping: sendto: Network is down
    PING 169.254.214.99 (169.254.214.99): 56 data bytes

    Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
    --- 169.254.214.99 ping statistics ---
    4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
    What is wrong with me???  Why can I not just get this to work?
    Anyhelp, much appreciated
    Ta
    Bree

    Thank you so much Paul_31 for your suggestions, HUGELY appreciate the effort
    I have reset the printing system, a few times for good measure but nadda.
    I have also looked at getting the software from the Apple site after seeing that with Snow Leopard you should let the operating system lead the install not the manufacteurers software as it is most likely out of date.  I too found it wasn't there so I uninstalled the software got up the CLX_3300 series stuff then went from there with the USB cable.  It apparently hasn't worked either
    Unfortunately now after using the print utility to scan for a while that has now gone again on the last restart of the Mac.  I am so completely clueless
    The box says the printer is compatible, the place of purchase said it was compatible, the Samsung site says it is compatible.
    I think it's the set up of my Mac? Our maybe a glitch in the network settings?
    Thanks again

  • My iPad can't connect with my iMac to access Internet, although it identifies the network wi-fi

    I activate the internet connection share on my iMac through airport. Mi iPad detect my wi-fi network created by the Internet share, but don't succeed to connect to it.. why

    Two things that you can try.... Update the iOS if you are still running 7.0.4. Or, reboot your router. It really can help at times even if every other device in the house is connecting. Unplug it for about 30 seconds to reset it and then plug it back in again. I would also reset the iPad if you reset the router.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Can't connect iPhone to iMac

    My iPhone is connected to my macbook, so when I try to connect it to my iMac (just to charge, not even syncing) iPhone just starts constantly vibrating-connecting and disconnecting, connecting and disconnecting etc. My iTunes says "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected) .
    I know that it should ask me if I can trust this computer- but I don't remember what my snswer was, so i MIGHT have (not sure) saud "don't trust". Is there a way to make iPhone trust a computer manually?

    The following may have something that will help: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    For it to be recognized as a camera (note that you may need to have a photo in the Camera roll on the phone): iOS: Unable to import photos to computer

  • How can I connect HDTV to iMac to use with Apple Color?

    Hey guys,
    I use Color application a lot and the colors don't look the same outside of Color app once they come back to FCP the project is on a dvd...
    Is it possible to use an LCD HDTV with the iMac for Apple Color to see the colors would actually look on a TV?
    If yes, please let me know...
    If not, then is there a workaround?
    Thanks in Advance

    Ben...no one mentioned the MXO2. Talking about the original Matrox MXO...connects via DVI. And it has Component and SDI outputs. Works with professional broadcast monitors. On that note, the MXO2 also has those connections.
    And a GOOD HDTV will work for many non-broadcast workflows. Not everyone does broadcast work, so they don't all need broadcast monitors.
    But, I'm sorry to say that the original MXO doesn't work with the latest batch of iMacs, nor the generation before this. It is old hardware designed for older machines. An iMac just won't work for this purpose. Sorry.

  • I just updated my ipad to OS6 and now I find I can't connect to my imac (Leopard) what can I do?

    I don't want to uninstall OS6 (I DARE SAY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE ANYWAY) and am reluctant to shell out for a new OPERATING SYSTEM FOR MY IMAC WHEN THE PRESENT WORKS PERFECTLY WELL....

    1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
    4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
    6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
    7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
