  • Can not connect to WiFi on iMac... just started

    I have a preferred network t hat all of a sudden I can not connect to on my iMac. The network diagnostics does not even bring up the list of networks. I have 2 other laptops, an iPod touch and another iMac on the network using wi-fi and they are all fine. If Network Diagnostics does not work...how do I troubleshoot?

    I would turn Airport off and then turn it back on. You should see your network and be able to log back in. There's also been a number of OS X updates - you might want to get your system up to date as there have been multiple Airport updates.
    The other thing you might want to try is resetting (power-cycling) your router.

  • Can I connect my 2 2010 imac's to each other and use one as a second display?

    I have 2 Imacs purchased in 2010.  Both have a mini display port on the back.  Can I connect them using a 2 male mini display cable and use the 2nd Imac as a 2nd display?

    Can I connect a Mac mini to iMac monitor ? To view Mac mini files

    Hi Ricemail,
    You *may* be able to do so, depending on the specific models of your iMac and Mac Mini, using a feature known as Target Display Mode. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Can't connect time capsule to imac

    I can't connect Time Capsule (TC) to the iMac.  I get the following message: Another device on the network is using your ocmputer's IP address.

    So does the Mac get an IP from the network or is it self allocated?
    Does it have internet?
    Can you please give me some more info.. I want the IP of the TC.. if still default then it is 10.0.1.1
    What IP has your Mac got? Just get it from the network preferences. You have  direct access via the airport icon.
    We have seen any number of issues with Lion and latest TC firmware. Why it works on one computer and not another I don't know.
    Try rebooting all the network items.. turn everything off and start in correct order with a few minutes in between.
    modem---main router (TC if that is it)----wireless extenders----then clients.
    Does the TC now appear?
    If not from a computer that can access it, do a reset of the TC and change all the names to SMB compliant.
    Short, no spaces no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Passwords can be longer.. but same rules.. nothing more than 20 characters.
    Lock the wireless channels.. for 2.4ghz, 1, 6, 11, and try each in turn if you have issues.

  • Can I connect a 24" 2008 iMac with a new 5k iMac?

    I have a 24" IMAC from 2008 and I want to buy a new 27" 5K IMac, will I be able to connect the two of them and my wife use one and I use the other with shared files? What is the best way to do this? Thanks for the help

    OK, the old computer is connected via Ethernet to your router, which you stated has Wi-Fi capabilities. The new computer can also be connected via Ethernet or it can be connected via Wi-Fi, you have that choice.
    As far as your email that will arrive on as many devices as you have the email account set up.
    While I am happy to answer your questions, I really think you should visit an Apple Store (AS) or your local Apple reseller if no AS is available. Then  you can tell ask your questions and they can show you how to set up what you want. The trouble with forums is we are not there face to face and gettng the whole picture isn't always easy, nor can we read each others minds or can I show you how to do something one on one.
    Also as I mentioned in my first post when you buy any new Mac it comes with 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support and they can help you customize or troubleshoot. IMHO it is also wise to buy AppleCare which extends the warranty from one year to 3 years and also includes telephone support for 3 years. You can buy AppleCare directly from Apple or you can get it for less from resellers such as Amazon and B&H Photo.

  • Can I connect my late-2012 iMac to my mid-2010 MacBook Pro?

    I've just bought a new late 2012 27" iMac and also have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro.
    I also purchased a Thunderbolt cable, is there anyway I can use this to connect the two? If not... do I have any options for file sharing between the two?

    The Thunderbolt cable is useless to connect both Macs. Mid 2010 MacBooks Pro have got Mini DisplayPort, and Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt.
    If you want to use Target Disk Mode in order to connect both Macs, you have to buy two things: the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, and a FireWire cable to connect the adapter and the MacBook. You have to connect the Thunderbolt adapter to the Thunderbolt port of the iMac.
    Then, if you want to transfer old files from the backup, you can use Migration Assistant if you want to migrate applications and user accounts (if you haven't set up the iMac, use Setup Assistant. If you want to transfer individual files, use Target Disk Mode

  • How can I connect Apple TV to iMac with ethernet

    AppleCare told me to plug the Apple TV into the iMac using ethernet to transfer the iTunes content faster with less glitches.  But how do I see the Apple TV screen on my iMac to configure it???  When I connect Apple TV using ethernet, nothing appears on the iMac screen.

    This only applies if you have a first generation Apple TV. Also I hope you have a router and are not connecting the ATV directly to the iMac.
    Usually I sync my First Generation Apple TV wirelessly, but sometimes I'll have some huge media files I want to sync on it which can take a long time. In those cases all you do is connect your Apple TV via ethernet cable to the same router your iMac is connected to. Don't worry about it not being connected to a tv because all you are going to do is SYNC your Apple TV. If you do not see your Apple TV in iTunes, turn off the Apple TV, and quit iTunes. Then turn on the Apple TV first, wait a minute and then start iTunes. Once iTunes sees the Apple TV, manage your content, then sync it.
    Once the Apple TV has completed its sync, quit iTunes. Unplug your Apple TV, and then put the device back by the TV you want to enjoy the content on.
    I have done such a thing a few times and it works flawlessly.

  • Can I connect my iPad2 to iMac keyboard?

    I turned on the iPad's Bluetooth and it will not see the iMac keyboard. Can it be connected and if so how?

    As long as your IMac keyboard is Bluetooth enabled it will work. I have read some posts in this community that it might take a couple of attempts. Try and put your iPad and keyboard close together maybe this will help.

  • Can I connect an older larger iMAC to my new iMAC and use it as a monitor?

    I am very happy with my new 21.5" new iMAC.
    However, I may keep my older 24" iMAC if I can get a way to use it as an additional monitor for my Photoshop work.
    Is it possible, then to use the older, larger iMAC as a secondary monitor, the computer controlling the whole set up would be the new 21.5" iMAC with its 12 GB RAM?
    If so, what is the procedure and way to connect both?
    Thanks in advance.

    You would need to find a 3rd party dispay extender app to accomplish this. The results may or may not be acceptable to you.

  • TS3775 can i connect my ps3 to imac 27 inch

    Is it possible to connect a PS3 to the 27 inch imac computer?

    I'm also looking for the same thing, the PS3 has a HDCP in the HDMI that prefents any normal capture card to work in full 1080p HD. A couple of my friends have a HDCP stripper but i feel that almost if not illegal.  One way I saw on Youtube awhile back was a guy using a HDMI Splitter from one male to two female and ran one into his pc and the other into his TV. I then decided to order myself one to see if it actually works, Im suppose to get the package within a couple of days but ill let you know if it actually works, also here is the youtube video that I watched that gave me the idea, hope this helps!  (if you find out a quality way to record gameplay and cheap please let me know as well im still trying to find a way how)  Youtube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo0DL2itV3w

  • Can i connect an external hard drive to my iMac

    I have recently switched from a windows PC and have transferred all my documents/photos to an external hard drive.  Can I connect this to my iMAC?

    Absolutely.  If the format is NTFS, you can only read from it which would give you access.  If you want to read and write to it, then consider copying off the files then reformatting the drive to ex-fat (to keep windows compatibility) or HFS+ to be Mac only.  When you're done you can copy the files back.
    Changing formats is accomplished via the Mac application "Disk Utility" which is in your "Utility" application folder.
