Can I use iMac 2007 as connected monitor to a 2013 iMac to edit movies on iMovie?

How do I connect 2013 iMac with thunderbolt to 2007 iMac with FireWire 800 to have an extra monitor to edit videos on iMovie? Both iMacs are running Mavericks.

No, what you are referring to is called Target Display Mode, your 2007 is simply too old and does not support it. TDM is discussed in the follow FAQ.

  • Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display?

    Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display with good video quality? I just purchased them and am already reading about issues with non-Apple External Monitors being used with MBP with Retina.  Plus I just assumed it given the power of the video card, but I can turn off the display to my MBP and extend the two HP monitors correct? I do realize they won't have the picture quality of the retina display but I would hope they look reasonable with 1080p
    New to the Support Community so thanks in advance for any help.

    This is an update on the question about the use of the Dell P2415Q 4K monitor with MacBook Pro 13" and 15" w/ Nvidia graphics card installed. The monitor works very well with both systems and is automatically identified when connected. The 13" machine with Iris Graphics defaults to 2560 x 1440 at 60hz. This was very workable, matching the Apple Thunderbolt Display for resolution. I was not able to set the display for full 4K at 3840 x 2160, even at 30hz. Just not enough horsepower with the basic Intel CPU with Iris Graphics. But make no mistake, the setup works well and the screen looks great.
    The 15" with Iris Pro Graphics and the Nvidia GeForce GT 575M discrete graphics card also recognized the display and drove it at full 4K, 3840 x 2160, 60hz with no problems. Running in clamshell mode required a bit of fine tuning with the Apple display settings. But nothing major.
    Due to a relatively small workstation, I selected the 24" version of the Dell monitor. If you are looking for a relatively large monitor with near "retina" resolution, the P2415Q is a perfect pairing for the MacBook Pro - and a terrific bargain. I paid $530 on the Dell website.

    if the monitor have an hdcp or displayport or dvi that support hdcp yeah

  • Can I use an iq504 as a monitor?

    I have an old TouchSmart IQ504 running Vista.  Is there any way I can connect a laptop to it and use the touchsmart as a monitor?  My wife needs to connect her work laptop to a larger monitor and I would rather not have both sitting on the desk.

    Mark,
    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart IQ504 desktop computer. According to the specs, no video input jack is listed. Sorry, but you can't use your Iq504 as a monitor.

    I run a small business and am considering setting up an internal network. The online "features" description for Mobile Access Server (a component of Snow Leopard Server) says I can connect remoetley from an iPod or a Mac. The iPad is not mentioned. can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server?

    Yes. It's the same as connecting from an iPod touch or iPhone.
    Logmeinigniton or teamviewer are a few of the apps you can use.
    Teamvewer has free app and you can see if it does what you want.

  • Can I use a Solid state drive in my 21 inch iMac

    Can I use a Solid state drive in my 21 inch iMac if so what manufaturer is recommended?

    Yes. I have used and recommend OWC's Mercury models and OCZ's Vertex 3 models. They do work in Macs. Depending upon the model you have you should get either 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s drive. That will depend upon your computer's disk drive bus support - SATA II or SATA III, respectively.

  • How can one use Mission Control with two monitors?  Please bring Spaces back

    How can one use Mission Control with two monitors.  With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
    SyBB

    I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
    Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

  • Can I use my car stereo connected to my iPhone when I have it an Apple watch connected?

    Can I use my car stereo connected to my iPhone when I have it an Apple watch connected?
    In short, I want my phone to connect to my car audio when I'm driving rather than my Apple watch.

    Assuming that the Apple Watch and the car system use different BT profiles, it shouldn't be a problem to have the phone connected to both.

    No, however, if you play Directv on demand through your MBP then you're free to do it that way.

    Can I use my iPad to connect to my company's IBM mainframe?

    It depends on the mainframe, how it's set up to be accessed (the iPad has only WiFi or 3G connections), and what you need to do. There are terminal emulators in the iTunes Store, though, including a couple of 3270 emulators.
