Can I use the i5 monitor for my Power Mac G4?

I have a powermac g4. In an effort to conserve space, I was wondering, if I can ditch the monitor for the powermac g4 and connect the desktop to the i5, so I can view everything.
Is this possible?

Not directly, no. The input on the iMac will accept only a DisplayPort output. There is one converter on the market that purports to convert DVI to MiniDisplayPort:

but your G4 would of course need to have a DVI output.
The other option would be to use screen sharing to take control of your PowerMac from the iMac. If your PowerMac is running Leopard, screen sharing is built in. If it's running 10.4 or earlier, you could use the freeware VNC.

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • Can we use the AdventureWorks2008R2 data for the real time project.

    Hi,
    In our project we are trying to do the data scrambling on First name, last name and middle name...
    In the regular practice we use to update the names as
    First Name = FN+<PERSON_SNO>
    Last Name = LN+<PERSON_SNO>
    Middle Name = MN+<PERSON_SNO>
    The Problem is the names are not looking realistic, so I thought of applying some logic and updating our PERSON table names based on Person.Person table in adventure works.
    My question is can we use the AdventureWorks2008R2 data for the real time project. Is there any cop right issue.
    Someone please help me solve this issue.
    Thanks

  • Can you use the Vocal Transformer for Live Show?

    Can you use the Vocal Transformer for Live Show? I have automations set up in my vocal track using the vocal transformer and would like my vocals to adjust accordingly while performing live. Is this possible to configure and if so, how do I set it up at the venue?

    Vocal Transformer opens in MainStage. All controls in VT are visible & editable in MS. Don't set it up at the venue. Set it up in one or more patches before you leave your house. You will need up to twelve sliders or knobs plus one or two buttons on your controller to get the most out of it.

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

  • Can I use the car charger for my 3gs on my iphone 4?

    Can I use the car charger for my 3gs that i bough in the att store on my iphone 4?

    With the 3GS Apple dropped support for charging over the firwire pin on the dock connector. Some older chargers will only supply power over the firewire pin, and thus will not work. There are adapters that will fix this, here's one example:

  • After I updated iOS 5 can´t use the "open with" for mail attachments.

    After I updated iOS 5 on my iPad 2, I can not use the "open with" for mail attachments. The option is not appearing.
    For example, when I try to open an .wmv attachment the iOS 5 doesn´t show "open with". Before update, I was able to open with "AZUL" software.
    Can anyone help me?

    You did say that the option does not appear at all in mail no matter which file type you want to open correct? I can only assume that something went corrupt in the update that affected your settings and that's why this option no longer appears. For experimental purposes, you could try emailing a PDF to yourself and see if that will allow you to use the Open in function in the mail app.
    If nobody else jumps into this discussion with a different idea, then maybe you should try restoring your iPad. The best way to do so is - first backup the device - and then restore to factory settings and then you can try restoring from a backup at the end of the process.
    However, if one of your settings is corrupt, the backup will be corrupt as well. It may be that you will have to restore to factory settings and then start all over again - adding your apps and content back to the device to get the best results. I would certainly use this process as a last resort. Restoring from a backup maybe all that you need to do.

  • Project Oxford. Can I use the Face API for law enforcement app

    Hello,
    I am a .Net developer and have recently learned of Microsoft's Project Oxford.
    I am very much interested in developing an app using the Face API but, had a question regarding the code of conduct.
    Specifically it states:
    People who use your app must have the consent of the people whose images are being processed by your app. We ask that you include a prominent notice in your app UI so your end users know that consent
    is required.
    The  application I am attempting to develop is for law enforcement to detect wanted persons while out on patrol.
    My questions are: 
    1. Is there an exception to the rule above for law enforcement?
    2. Can I use the Face api for my application knowing that
    in most cases law enforcement will not specifically ask for consent while scanning people?
    As always thank you for your assistance.

  • Can I use the internal airport card of my Mac as a BRIDGE?

    * My Mac is part of my home network.
    * My wired Router provides NAT addressing for all wired computers and printers.
    Question:
    Can I use the internal airport card of my Mac as a BRIDGE?
    I am able to create a second LAN where the internal airport card, creates it's own network, but then the wireless computers are not on the same network as the wired.
    If using an Airport Express, there is an option you can uncheck "assign IP address" that turns it into a bridge.... Is there anything similar with os X 10.4.3
