Can i hook an A1082 monitor up to a windows monitor as a second one?

can i hook an A1082 monitor up to a windows monitor as a second one?

I agree Steve, to come out with a new monitor that everyone has been waiting for and wanting so badly...........and to have it only work with their new laptops ?!? Very, very frustrating. They definitely cut off a lot of sales by doing that. Including myself, I know of 4 people right now that would have already bought one if it worked with other Macs. You know they could make a connector that would work with the iMac, or any other Mac.......but they chose not to.
Sometimes it makes you wonder what they are thinking.
..........does me anyway.......
Hopefully they will change that, and make it available for other ones soon!

Wii/Nintendo Gaming --Can I hook up my Wii to utilize the iMac monitor?

Can I hook my Wii system up to utilize my iMac monitor?

The only iMac with built-in video input is the new 27-inch iMac, and that currently only works with DisplayPort input. All other iMacs only have video output, not input.
You can add video input through a USB interface device. Because a Wii is designed to work with a TV, you may be able to use a device that makes Macs act like a TV/DVR. This is one example

I'm not familiar with the type of video output (and the connection type) for the Wii, so you'll have to look into it some more to see if such a device will work. The most popular devices of this type are made by Elgato and Miglia, and they offer several different types.
If it works, the device plus included software will display the video input in a window on the iMac. You can view it in that window, or expand it to full screen. I have an older device (standard def only) and I use it to watch video from a TiVo on my iMac's screen.

Can i hook up a macbook pro to 2 HDMI monitors in the following way?

Macbook pro 13 2011 thunderbolt
okay so can i use:
Mini Displayport HDMI +
HDMI to Dual DVI
To
2 DVI monitors
will this allow me to use them as one extended desktop? or will it mirror those two monitors together?
id like to be able to use my macbook pro in close lid mode with a dual monitor set up

For your MBP you will need an adapter such as the following and an HDMI cable for video:
For audio, you will have to tap the audio output port and connect to the TV RCA audio input connections. This will give you an idea of what will be required:
Ciao.

Mac monitor brightness compared to windows monitor brightness

Somewhere I read about there being a difference between mac and pc regarding the brightness of something showing up on the screen. I'm preparing several pdf files that are made up of only photography scans. I'm wondering if, on my mac, they should be brighter or darker? Any suggestions? Thank you.

In continuing to look into this I found that the mac using a 2.2 gamma is more likely to produce the same as a pc. This was to be the gamma choice as opposed to the 1.8 gamma setting that I think is default on a mac.
Has newer technology canceled out this info?

Can you hook up to ethernet

Can you hook up ethernet to express; have access to multiple computers, pick the one you want, drill down to that itunes library and play the associated songs and playlists? Also, is there a way to play internet radio; lastly can you control this via an iphone? if so how? is there an app that can allow users to access thier windows computer and see thier itunes library?

Yes it sounds correct. They can be Windows computers, they just have to be running fairly recent versions of iTunes and they all have to be on the same network. Wired or wireless makes no difference.
If you have an Express it can also join your network wirelessly or via Ethernet. They can be configured to connect to your network either way.
With the iPhone's Remote app you simply click the gear icon and click "add an iTunes library". You go to that computer and type in the code to authorize it. Sharing has to be enabled in iTunes Preferences also. Home Sharing uses your Apple ID so the other computers all have to use the same one.
Also, if you are using Windows you will almost certainly have to configure its firewall or anti-virus software. Such things are designed to hinder all sorts of communication and they're all different so you may be on your own trying to figure that out.
Apple has lots of instructions regarding Home Sharing, if you're not getting anywhere start with this:

Can I hook my iphone 5 to a touchscreen monitor and use the touchscreen feature of the monitor. Would I have to use the lighting to hdmi?

Can I hook my iphone 5 to a touchscreen monitor and use the touchscreen feature of the monitor. Would I have to use the lighting to hdmi?

The connection of the phone to the monitor would allow you to see, but does not have the ability to translate the touch on the monitor to the phone through that cable.

How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?

How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?

Which video card? 5x70? If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor). And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
It's not really complicated. Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up. For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters. For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio.

Can I hook up New Mac Mini to my old imac?

Can I hook up New Mac Mini to my old imac to share the display? I want to upgrade my iMac since I can not add more memories... but thought may be I can add New Mac Mini and use that along with my old iMac.. Will this work?

If your configuration supports Target Display mode, use that. If not, not without a standalone monitor and a product such as ScreenRecycler.

I am trying to play my digital music off a hard drive onto my home stereo. I would like to know if the mac mini can just hook to my processor and play music through the processor(preamp) on my home stereo speakers?

I currently have a nice home stereo component system. I also have a 500 GB external hard drive loaded with music. I am looking for a way to play the music off this Hard Drive onto my home stereo system. I currently have a WD home entertainment box that I can play movies that I download off the Internet on my TV, of course piped through my home stereo for the sound. I would like to know if the mac-mini could be used in this form also. Just have the HD hooked to it, the TV would become my monitor and the mac mini would play the music ... RANDOMLY ... with the use of iTunes. This of course would be hooked up to the home system with an hdmi cable and the HD hooked up through a USB connection.
Just would like to know if this could work?

Yes. Is the short answer.
You can directly connect the speaker out port of the Mac mini to an input on the AV Receiver which then feeds your speakers. This would be an audio only solution. If you use a TOS-Link connection this will be a pure digital connection ensuring the best quality (important for audiophiles).
You can if you wish connect the video from the Mac mini to the AV Receiver, and if you have a Mac mini with HDMI or a Mini Displayport you can run the audio and video via a single cable. (Older models would use two cables, the aforementioned TOS-Link pus a DVI to HDMI cable.)
If you do connect the video output from the Mac to the AV Receiver you can then display this on your TV, and have as one possibility iTunes displayed with perhaps one of the iTunes visualisers playing along with the music. Another possibility would be to use FrontRow on the Mac.
A different approach would be to have the Mac mini stream over a network to a device e.g. the Sonos Zoneplayer which is then connected to the AV Receiver. An AirPort Express is also able to do this.

Can I hook up my G4 to my G5 and run programs off it?

I got the new G5 and I have the Digi001, but the sound card wont fit into the G5 so is there a way I can connect my G4 to my G5 and run Pro Tools and use the Digi001 while it's attached to the G4? Right now I have the two computers connected through the ethernet port and i can access files on the G4 but when I try to open a Pro Tools file it says there is an error.

The main thing is I can't run Pro Tools and the Digi001 interface on my G5 cause it wont take the sound card. I only have one monitor and no space to hook up to computers with two monitors, keyboards etc. so i just want to hook up the computers to each other and run the program and interface from the G4 on the G5. i'm not trying to get a performance boost i just want to use the $800 Digi001 program again.
You can't use the G4 hardware on the G5 at all.
(X-Grid optimized software like VisualHub sends a large "task" to the other computers processors to do and then it comes back to the master machine)
All you can do is remote control the G4 from the G5 using software like Apple Remote Desktop or a similar product like VNC. The other machine will be in a "window" on the first. Use a Ethernet network for this and a Firewire network to transfer files in a public folder if ARD won't let you copy/paste/transfer files. (I think the new version does)
You can share the monitor, kb and mouse between the G5 and G4, one machine at a time using a physical KVM switch. Then share a network connection (Ethernet/firewire) and a public folder to transfer files between the two machines. This can grow tiresome if your switching between the G4 and G5 constantly.
I think remote control would be the best choice and ARD the best software for it's ease of use, security and integration with Mac OS X. If the G4/G5 won't boot without a monitor, kb or mouse then you'll need to add a KVM switch for those times when you need to boot the machines. Else your going to wear out your ports/connectors.

Can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o?

can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o? if not - what can i do to view on a larger display? thanks in advance for any help!!!

You should be able to get an adapter that will change the Thunderbolt out to a DVI or HDMI out, and connect that to an external monitor. I am not sure what connection your iMac screen has, or if it even HAS input capability. I know that the 27' iMac BEFORE it was given the Thunderbolt ports had MiniDP input. If your iMac is any older than that one, I am not sure. But the adapter should allow you to output to any DVI or HDMI display, depending on which adapter you get.

Can I Hook an Apple TV to an older TV that does not have HDMI Ports using a connector cable

I have an older Sony HD TV and would like to hook my Apple TV to that TV but it does not have HDMI Ports. Can I hook my Apple TV to this TV through a cable adapter that converts HDMI to Component Video and Audio (Red Green Blue Video Cables, Yellow White Audio) or HDMI to S-Video. I have both these connections on my TV. Thanks

Thanks, I actually meant a converter box I just wanted to make sure that using that would work. With Amazon FireTV Sticks for example I jhave been told that only a direct HDMI connection to the TV would allow the device to work at all.

External video projector - How can I hook up my Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?

Hi
How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
Thanks,
JFR

The Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.
