can i use a macbook pro to drive an iMac as a monitor?

If that configuration supports Target Display mode, use it. If not, use a product such as ScreenRecycler.

  • Can I use my macbook pro mid 2012 as an external display using thunderbolt port

    Hi,
    I want to use my macbook pro (mid 2012) screen as an external display for a raspberry pi using a HDMI to Thunderbolt cable, via the thunderbolt port on the macbook pro. Would this be possible? Can the macbook pro's thunder bolt port act as an input and is any additional software required?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Which duplicate cleaner can i use on macbook pro

    which duplicate cleaner can i use on macbook pro?

    Skytag's File Buddy.   I would just use it to sort by file name.  Don't use the duplicate cleanup as it may get too much!  Note it may also show applications as packages, and their contents as individual files within a .app folder.  Do not confuse the various .app folder contents for files that are duplicate, since they are default files for the various Mac OS X applications.   Make sure the duplicates have the same file name and byte size, before choosing to delete one file.

  • New aperture library to ensure no space used on MacBook Pro hard drive

    Hi
    My laptop MacBook Pro hard drive is getting full (again). I mainly have photos on my laptop and iTunes. Using referenced files and having the raw photos stored on an external drive still eats up lots of GBs.  If I create a new Aperture library on a portable external drive (that I can back up on Time Machine) is this the best way to ensure my photos are available to edit, but that no GBs of my hard drive are used up as I import to the NEW library on the 1TB portable external drive.
    Are there any disadvantages or other ways to prevent any more hard drive GBs being used?
    And should the new library NOT be referenced since the photos will be on the external portable until it fills up.
    Many thanks
    BW

    Hi Kirkby
    Appreciate your help and useful link. I think I have been doing exactly as you recommend to date, using my laptop internal drive to store the library etc. and a portable external drive FW800 for my referenced originals, together with iMovie clips for the same events/years.  But my external is now full. And my internal drive is OK but I don't want to add more GBs to it.
    It is the next step I am pondering. The main problem being to avoid any extra laptop internal GBs being used up. 
    I usually need access to originals and iMovie clips for the same event on one drive. My iMovie projects include both.
    I could buy a 2TB portable drive and move all my originals to it, and even also the library but really I would prefer to have two externals and choose which one to connect, as required for Aperture and iMovie. And I would like maximum growing room on any new drive I buy.
    (I back up my lap top and each external drive to time machine, and put my photos from memory card onto a DVD as unedited originals. I have usb2 and FW800 and FW400 only)
    It's the best storage of new original photos and clips, and not eating up my last 50gb of my laptop drive, while enabling easy access to my most recent pics to enable more convenient editing, that are my issues. I don't want to have to sit at my desktop with a large external drive while editing.
    Is anything daft or disadvantageous about creating a new aperture library on a new external portable drive to store and enable access to all my new photos from 2014 onwards? I realise I would have to switch to the old library  and connect another external drive for pre 2014 access. And would this mean NOT eating up any more laptop internal drive GBs?
    Thank you again

  • Can I use my MacBook Pro in Italy?

    I am traveling to Rome, Italy and am wondering if I can use my MacBook Pro?  Do I need to purchase a converter?  Thanks!

    Yes, you just need to switch the "duckhead" plug on your power adapter.  Apple sells the whole kit here.

  • Can I use my Macbook pro in Africa with just a adapter?

    I am travelling to Africa and was wondering if I can use my macbook pro with just the adapter for 240 or do I also need the converter.

    On any of your electronic equipment, look at the power adapter. For example, the adapter with my MacBook Pro says "Input: 100-240V" therefore it will work at 240 volts with only an adapter, no transformer needed.

  • Can i use my macbook pro 13" (late 2011) to play Games?

    I know that this is perhaps silly question but i just curious. Most games playable using graphic card such as Nvidia or ATI,but mine don't have any such graphic cards but it has built-in Intel Graphics 3000 and in the Apple website, the macbook pro that shown able to play games is 15" and 17". Is it adequate to play big games such as Splinter cell conviction or assasin's creed on my 13" MBP?

    Your experience playing the game will be sub-optimal. If you're going to be doing any sort of "real gaming" and want to play more modern games on newer engines, the shared GPU just isn't going to cut it. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
    No MacBook Pro is a first rate gaming machine, per se, just not designed for such. If you're a serious gamer & want to use a MacBook Pro, the only realistic choices are the 15" or 17" which have dedicated GPU's.

  • Can I use my MacBook Pro as a DVD drive for my G5 to install an OS?

    My G5 tower had died. I was asked to back up my drive and perform a format on it. I have transferred the files back onto the computer, but when I star up the computer it just blinks an old OS9 style folder with the finder face and then a question mark. The obvious action to take would be to install the original disks but the DVD drive has been not working for some time. Is there a way I can plug my MacBook Pro to my G5 tower and use the DVD drive from my MacBook Pro as an external disk drive. Or can I install the OS remotely from my MacBook Pro?
    Any help would be appreciated because even though my G5 is old, I'd still like to have it as a back up computer.
    Regards

    Connect the two computers with a FireWire cable, insert the installation disk into the MacBook Pro, start the MacBook Pro up with the T key held down, and install the OS.
