Can I connect screen wireless to the Mac Pro?

Hello,
My name is Ben and I am a frequent Mac user.
I'm looking in to buying a new Mac Pro and I was wondering if it was possible to connect screens wireless? That way I would use the Mac Pro as an external server and instal my screens in different rooms throughout the house.
Thank you.
Dear regards,
Ben

I would like to setup the Mac Pro in one room with a screen attached to it with a cable. In an other room I would like to have just a screen that uses the Mac pro as computer and storage space.
I am talking about Apple 27' inch screens .

Can't connect to wireless printer from Mac

I have 2 wireless printers. My Macs can connect to one, but can not find the other. My PCs can connect to both just find.
The printer I can't connect to is a Lexmark 4650. I'm running the install CD, but when it tries to find the printer, it doesn't find it,
so I can not complete the setup.

If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (Applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.

How can I connect multiple speakers to the Mac Mini?

Just received and setup up my new Mac Mini (Dual-Core i7, 8GB memory, 750GB disk) with OS Lion. Still in newbie phase. I have a set of 3-way Boston Acoustic speakers (w/ subwoofer) from an old Gateway computer. Is there any way/adapter available to connect them to the Mac Mini in order to improve music played within iTunes. Appreciate your responses.

Lost connection to wireless network on Mac Pro

My network infrastructure at home is as follows:
An Airport Extreme links to my DSL modem.
One Mac Pro is connected to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet.
One Airport Express extends the wireless network.
Another Mac Pro connects to the extended wireless network.
One Airport Express is used for Airtunes.
There are also a PS3 and an Xbox 360 in the wireless network.
Since this morning the "wireless" Mac Pro cannot see the wireless network anymore. I did not change any notwork settings and my wireless network is still saved as preferred network. Airport in OSX just cannot see it. However, I can see our neighbors' networks, so I assume Airport is working in the Mac. Upon login I get a dialog box prompting me to select a wireless network. My own network is not listed.
All Airport base stations have a green light and show up as working fine in the Airport Utility on the "wired" Mac.
When I use my iPod touch in the room with the "wireless" I can log into the wireless network without any problems. When I unplug the Airport Express station extending the network, the iPod's connection is much weaker or even breaks off. Thus I assume the network is fine and the base stations are indeed working properly.
I did not change anything in the hardware or software configuration. So I am flabbergasted as to what caused the loss of connectivity.
Any ideas, what I could try to get the "wireless" Mac connected again?
The pearls of wisdom from the Mac community are highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mustrum

I've spent some time with AppleCare on this issue. They had me trash some preferences files, then run the Disk Utility to "Repair Disk Permissions" on my hard drive. They said this should fix it if it's a software issue, but if not then it's an Airport hardware issue, and I should take my MacBook to the Apple Store for repair.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS
1 - Trash these prefs files from your Library:
- com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
- NetworkInterfaces.plist
- preferences.plist
2 - Restart computer.
3 - Go to your Network Preferences and define a new location. Then click on the little gear icon to "Set Service Order" and put Airport at the top. Click Apply.
4 - Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive. Click on the button that says "Repair Disk Permissions". You'll see some warnings etc.
This should work for both Tiger and Leopard. I upgraded over the weekend.

Can't connect Apple Wireless Trackpad to MacBook Pro

I have a 15" MacBook Pro that is about 6 months old running Lion. I have a Magic Mouse and a Wireless Trackpad. I always use the track pad. I have the same setup at home as at work. Yesterday I worked from home, today I'm back at work, but now my Trackpad at work won't connect. My magic mouse connects just fine. I replaced the batteries and that didn't help. I got another wireless trackpad off of someone else's desk and it won't connect either. So it seems to be just an issue with the Trackpad as my Magic Mouse works fine. But I prefer the trackpad because the magic mouse flares up my RSI.

Nevermind. I fiddled & fiddled an it finally connecting. It seemed to work when I was in the wireless trackpad connection screen, while searching for the device I would hold the button on my trackpad until the light turned off, then pressed it once again. It then pulled up the name of my trackpad. I selected the name of the trackpad and while it was trying to connect I did the same thing - hold the button down until the light turned off, then clicked it once immediately after.
Now I see why they call it a magic trackpad. It requires magic to get it to connect.

Can't connect to wireless network after Mac OS update

I just bought a mid-2007 Macbook (2x2 GHz, 2 Gb), which came with OS X 10.5.1 installed.
I connected to my wireless network (WPA2 Personal) without any problems and ran Software Update. This worked fine, including updating to 10.5.3.
But now I can no longer connect to the wireless network. It either times out when I enter the password, and/or crashes the Network Preferences.
I tried re-installing the system, but the installer said it couldn't install on this mac. That happened both with the 10.4.6 discs I got with the Macbook and with the 10.5 disk that came with my iMac.
Any suggestions?

Hi tankfield
Sandra has already addressed the reason why you can't use the wrong CD-ROM to re-install OS X.
However, the reason you had problems in the first place is that the 10.5.3 update contains some unacknowledged (by Apple) issues which cause flaky wireless connection. The same problem also appears on the latest update of Tiger. Apparently, not everyone is affected, but if you are then it's a real issue.
There appears to be no single solution, just several suggestions. Off the top of my head, these are:
- In your wireless router, switch off Mixed mode and only use G or N
- Change the wireless channel so it doesn't class with the neighbours router
- Don't use WEP encryption, only WPA or WPA2 (good advice anyway)
- Put AirPort first in Network Preferences, and your home network first in Preferred Networks
- Create a dummy location which is a clone of Automatic
.... and many more - none of which worked for me.
Finally, today I came upon this one which (so far) seems to be working.
- Start up Utilities/Terminal and type this command EXACTLY followed by return:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
(It will ask for your password)
In the unlikely event of this working for you, you will need to re-apply each time you reboot.
Good luck
Bob

Screen outputs on the mac pro

can you get a dvi to hdmi lead as would like to link it up to my t.v and us it on that or is there any other way

Yes. You can either get a DVI to HDMI cable or a DVI to HDMI converter and then use a standard HDMI cable. There are some problems that can crop up depending on the type of TV you have and what type of thing you are going to do (movies are pretty much ok no matter what, using as a huge monitor can sometimes cut off your menu-bars and such), and has been discussed in MANY threads.
I would suggest doing a search for HDMI on the message board to find out what type of TV's have been tested. Then again, the converters are so cheap, you might just want to try it out yourself if you already own everything.

Mac Pro can access other Macs but those same Macs cannot access the Mac Pro

Hello.
I have a highly annoying problem that goes as follows:
My (home) network consists of:
- 1 Mac Pro (e2008 - 10.5.6)
- 1 iMac (2008 - 10.5.6)
- 1 MacMini (2004 - 10.4.??)
- 1 MacBook Air (2008 - 10.5.6)
The internet connection is alive and well with no drops not that it truely matters here.
The setup is as follows:
- Linksys AM300 in half bridge mode connects to the
- Apple Airport Extreme Base station from which 1 cat6 cable runs to the
- Mac Pro
The other Macs connected to the Airport Extreme wirelessly.
The Mac Pro has its network settings setup correctly (in fact it used to work fine but then just stopped working) and I have also disabled all network settings, rebooted and reapplied the settings to no effect.
To clarify:
I (Mac Pro) can connect to all Macs in the network but all those macs can see me but not connect to me. Connecting via the Finder simply says "Connection Failed" and if I open the "Connect to server.." and enter the IP address of the Mac Pro it results in an error/failed connection also.
Any ideas to fix this would be highly appreciated.
PS: As of now, 19/03/2009, I have all software updates installed on all macs in the network.

Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file.

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.

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

How can I turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake?

I am using teamviewer to remote connect to my office Imac from home. However, every time I connected, my imac screen will turn on and everyone else in the office can see what my imac is doing..
Is there some method to turn off the screen while keeping the mac awake, so I can remote connect to it?
PS: I am using OSX 10.7.3

Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.
