Can i use a iMac from 2008 with broken graphic card as extra monitor

Can i use My Old iMac as a extra monitor. My Old iMac from early 2008 has a broken graphic card nvidia 8800 gs. When I start it up I hear the bong and see the symbol spinning then the screen goes black from right to left the computer is running but I can't use it. I assume it's the graphic card. Can I use this iMac as an extra monitor to my other iMac.?

No sorry.

Hey Guys I Travel to the States and I am from Germany. I want to buy an iPhone 4S 8GB white Version unlocked GSM. Can I use the iPhone in Germany with every SIM Card?

As long as you buy from an Apple retail Store (Apple owned ) an unlocked iPhone 4S it will work on GSM services worldwide
from Apple.com
If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible micro-SIM separately. When you travel internationally, you can use a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s from a local GSM carrier.
The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
However the warranty will NOT be valid outside the US .If you need warranty or post warranty service you will have to return the iPhone to the US in person ( cannot mail in to US )

Does any one experience having slow performance after upgrading to lion? (I'm using an iMac early 2008 with 4gb memory)

I'm having a problem on my iMac early 2008 (2.4GHz Core 2 Duo 4gb SDRAM) after upgrading to Mac OS X Lion.
The animation such as mission control and full screen and especially, launch pad performs really slow.
Sometimes, mission control doesn't even show the animation.
This is terrible and I want Apple to fix these problems or otherwise this is just making my mac useless.
Does anyone experience having similar problem?

thanks for the reply!
I've checked the activity monitor but nothing was taking up the space expect for Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in, which takes up 29% of CPU)
here's my screenshot. can you see any problems?

IMac 27" 2011 with Dead Graphic Card AMD Radeon HD 6970M

Hello
I'm from Thailand and my iMac 27" mid-2011 model is malfunctioning. I have windows 7 installed and I can use it only on safemode or when I disable the graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6970M. Updating the driver won't help at all.
I talked to the local iservice and he says it will cost me $570 just to replace this card. I find it very expensive.
Now I have learned that there is this replacement program http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167 for the graphic card issue. I'd like to know if I am part of this. I'm not sure if I'm under any service coverage since it's been after many years of purchase.

You should be covered - usually replacement programs last for 3 years from the latest date of consumer purchase (when apple discontinues the model). This is typical, but by no means concrete as I have nothing to do with Apple or its replacement policies. Your model also meets those specifications. Since the replacement program is stated as wordwide, it should also be applicable in your country.

How can I use an iMac from my home to work on my G5 at my office?

I've just ordered an iMac Intel and I want to use it from my home to work on my Mac G5 at my office, not just to copy files but to actually run programs on the G5, sort of like "Go to My PC" works with PCs.
Do I need any special software?
Any help would be appreciated.
G4s, G5s, iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Brad-
Yeah... what you desire is possible, but it's a huge pain. Unless you're really friendly with the network dudes at your office and you have some sort of licensing scheme that accommodates VPN access and networked licensing, this probably won't happen. Shoot, even if you DO have VPN and all of that, this particular type of setup is tricky. I've used SSH to tunnel certain programs between two computers (usually in the same subnet, not miles apart), and it's cool... but rather slow.
If your time is valuable, I'd weigh it against the cost of purchasing the desired software.

Can I use an iPhone from Verizon with a canceled contract on another Verizon line?

My mother recently canceled her with Verizon Wireless because she wanted to be on our family share plan. My older brother decided that he wanted to get his own contract and left the line for her to take. She doesn't like the phone that he had and she has a brand new iphone that she got when she opened her contract. She still had a year to go but decided to pay the early termination fee. She still hasn't payed yet because she is waiting for the bill to make the last payment including the ETF. The service on the phone no longer work and she was wondering if she can connect that phone with that existing line on the family share plan. I also want to know if this has happened to you. I went with her when she went to canceled the contract, the lady that helped us was being so nice to the people before because they just got new phones/contracts. When my mom told her that she wanted to cancel the contract she started being so rude like we were asking her to give us something for free. With the previous customers she was being all smiles but with us she was like whatever. She barely answer some question that my mom had and when she did, she answer with an attitude. She was the same person that helped when my dad, my brothers and me went to get new phone and she was being so nice. I couldn't believe she was being so rude. That was the worst customer service I have in Verizon. Its like they love you when you decide to get into a new contract but the minute you decide to cancel one its like you are beneath or that they could care less about what you want. Has this happened to any of you? Thank for your answer I really appreciate it.

AFTER she pays her bill in full, the device should be usable.

MOVED: How to use onboard VGA on 945GM2 with RX1300Pro graphics card plugged in?

This topic has been moved to Intel P4 & Celeron P4 based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=97199.0

Richard, 945GM2 doesn't have AGP bus anymore. It's PCIe.
However, it's a chipset "feature" that if you had a PCIe external display card hooked on, the chipset will disable the integrated graphics. There is no workaround.

Can I use my imac as an external display for a PC? If so, what cables would I need?

Can I use my imac (intel 2008) as an external display for a PC (Dell 2002)? If so, what cables would I need?

No.

Is it possible to set primary and secondary display with 2 graphics cards?

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro with two graphics cards and four monitors installed. Does anyone know how the computer (or more specifically Keynote) determines which is the primary display and which is the secondary?
Also is there any way to change the scheme?
What I am trying to do is switch the primary and secondary from the two monitors in my office to the monitor at the podium (would like it to become primary) and a vga projector (would like it to become secondary)
I bought the second graphics card so I wouldn't have to switch the cables back and forth three times a week. All the monitors work fine, it's just a matter of determining or changing primary/secondary
Thanks in advance

Thanks Malcolm
I got that far – The keynote manual says that the display with the menu bar is the primary display – that works out fine. The problem is that the manual says that the display without the menu bar is the secondary (or alternate). But there are three displays without the menu bar.
What I would like to find out is: is there a way to choose the display without the menu bar to be the alternate?
When I try various combinations, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which display is the alternate.
Thanks again for your response!

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook? The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

Sometimes they do work - i've done it before. I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
Why not just clone your hard drive? It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
Unless you're having issues with your old set up or your old hard drive is dead.
You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
Good luck

Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

Can I use an Adobe Professional license from 2008 with the current version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

With "license" you mean serial number? If that serial number was for a different Acrobat version (e.g. 9), you cannot use it for the current version XI.
You can however use it to purchase an upgrade from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html
