Can I hook up my Dell Latitude for using iMac as display?

the Dell has VGA & HDMI so I wonder if it will work using a Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI-adapter or similar?

If I understood you, you want to use your iMac as a display for the Dell Latitude.
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302 27-inch iMacs and iMacs with Thunderbolt ports can be used as a display, and Apple says that this feature works only for other Macs.
That's not exact and that's not the truth because an iMac can be used as a display for PCs, but the PC must have a DisplayPort or a Thunderbolt port. If your PC hasn't got DisplayPort, you can't use the iMac as a display

    I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
    In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

  • I just bought a mini raid (1T) and can't find where to format it for use on my desktop iMac. Can anyone help?

    i just bought a Raid Mini (1T) and can't find how to format it for my iMac OS X 10.8.5. Can someone help!?

    It shouldn't need formatting. That should have been done to make the RAID. If you need to erase the RAID:
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select the RAID volume you wish to format from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.

  • I can't calibrate any color profile for my iMac's display!

    I think I accidentally deleted the color profile for my iMac's display
    and now it won't let me calibrate any profile! All the colors are bright and washed out.
    When I go to the display>color preference panel I get an error sound whenever I click ANY color profile, and it doesn't load. When I click "calibrate" it gives me the message: "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found."
    But I wasn't even using the factory profile, and it won't let me choose any other ones, either (though a whole list does show up!)
    I tried repairing/verifying the profiles in the ColorSync Utility, but it didn't help.
    Is there somewhere I can download the profile and install it? I'm running a white 20" Core Duo 2GHz iMac (summer of 2006), if that helps.
    Thanks!

    seenew,
    I'm wondering if you would have any luck with resetting the PRAM? PRAM settings hold some of the display preferences I believe.
    See: "Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM"
    If not, I am wondering if reapplying the Combo update for 10.4.7 might correct the display calibration issue or at least return it to the default?
    I don't think that recreating the .plist file for displays will help.
    As far as I know you cannot "download" the profile.
    sorry if those suggestions don't help,

  • Connect Dell Latitude e6400 to iMac 27" with Displayport to Thunderbolt

    Hi,

    Only other computer with Thunderbolt can use the 2011 iMacs as a display.

    Displayport to Thunderbolt is not supported.

  • 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
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ElGato/10020630R/
    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 use iMac as display for new mac mini?

    can I hook my early 2008 24" Core 2 Duo iMac to a new Mac Mini to use as a display?
    I love the display, but my iMac is getting too slow, even with the maximally upgraded RAM to 4 GB.  I don't want to get rid of my iMac, so I was thinking of buying a Mac Mini to attach it.
    I'm worried that the OS X Yosemite will make my iMac even slower.
    Any suggestions? 
    Nick

    Not without a standalone monitor; that iMac doesn't support video in.

  • Can I buy iPad air in japan for use in Indonesia?

    Can I buy an iPad air in japan for use in Indonesia?

    The forums are littered with people asking similar questions but the answer is always that you should not consider only the technical implications of doing so.
    Will it work? Probably, but you may not be able to take full advantage of the LTE connectivity because the LTE frequencies differ by both country and operator. The iPad would default back to 3G speeds. Secondly, an iPad Air bought in Japan is warranted ONLY in Japan. If something goes wrong, you will need to physically get it back there for service or replacement under warranty.
    It's very likely worth waiting (if it's not yet available) or spending the extra money to buy it in Indonesia but the choice is ultimately yours.

  • How can i get iPad calendar/contacts style for my iMac (lion)?

    how can i get my iMac (10.7.4) to use the VERY HANDY, MUCH FASTER iPad style calendar & contacts views?
    iPad3/new iPad - date bar w/ months & arrows at the bottom, day-week-month-year- & LIST option at top - THIS IS QUICK!!!
    iMac -sloowwww flip a month - OR click to view months -  click here to view date.....  even adding a month bar to quick click at top would be faster.
    it's also like this w/ contacts -
    iPad3/new iPad- QUICK alpha tabs on side that show name on left w/ info on right w/ QUICK contact options to message, FT, share. 
    iMac contacts - groups/or all - scroll to find/click names or search - no quick contact tabs like the iPad.
    Does anyone know how to incorporate the FAST features of the iPad3/new iPad to my iMac?
    Lack of these options must be an oversite and hopefully an update will soon be comming out implement these quick features across the board on all apple devices?!?!  Until then - any ideas?
    Quick, userfriendly... we all want that!

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
