Can I use the screen/monitor from my G4-iMac-linking the two together?

Bought a new Mini and am just wondering if I can use the monitor of the iMac if I link the two computers together?
TIA

The only real option is a VNC solution like this:http://www.screenrecycler.com/home.html

Can I use an external hard drive on my iMac if the internal drive is dead?

The internal 1 TB hard drive on my 2009 w/Mavericks hard drive is failing. I clone that drive to an external hard drive as a backup and often boot from the external when I want to do some maintence (Disk Warrior) on the iMac drive. So far Disk Warrior has saved that iMac drive but eventually it won't be able to do so.
I looked into buying a new internal drive and replacing the old iMac drive but the procedures are not as easy as I hoped. So my question becomes: if/when that internal drive goes belly up will I be able to set the external drive as the main drive through System Preferences and automatically boot into it each time I need the machine? Or would I have to boot into a USB Maintenance drive then reset to reboot into the external drive each time I wanted to use the machine.
Of course I'll be looking into buying a new iMac but until then I want to use this older machine as much as possible.
Thanks.

Yes, you’ll be able to do that.

Can I use split screens on and extra monitor I have. I can get mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900.

Can I use split screens on an extra monitor I have? I can get a mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900 AOC 20inch monitor. Hope I haven't wasted my money buying this £69 monitor. My 13" Macbook Pro is a little small for my ageing eyes. Thanks

In the display settings on your computer uncheck "mirrored". This will put the displays in "extended" mode. In extended mode you can set the external display to its native resolution as well as drag windows from your computer to the external monitor. I assume that is what you mean when you say "split screen".

After updating my iPad recently, I can no longer use it to present PPTs using a TV monitor that always previously worked. The display mentions something about using AirPlay which I am not using or trying to. Suggestions please?

I am currently using iOs 7.0 on this iPad and I never had a lick of trouble until aetr this update. Anything would help. Thanks.

I'm adding screen shots taken from this afternoon showing connection that varied from non-existent to 1X.

Making A Row Of Thumbnails The Same Size As The Screen Monitor No Matter What Montior You Use

I am making a website and am trying to get the row of thumbnails/cells (which contain 5 thumbnails across each set in a cell) to be the same length as the screen monitor so that you do not have to scroll horizontally across to see more cells/thumbnails in the table.
Here is the thing. When I first started making tables, I was making actual pixels to fit MY screen size, but then I found when I looked at the website on another computer the tables came out different sizes (because of different size monitors I assume). So, I changed the tables from pixels to 100% and that seemed to do the trick. Whatever computer I pulled the website up on, the tables extend perfectly across the monitor screen to its fullest extent and without having to scroll horizontally.
The next part of the website involved adding thumbnails of images. So I made a table 6 rows across by 5 columns down. And I put a thumbnail in each cell, so that 5 thumbnails went across the row. I also set the table width to 100% just like I previously did for my heading table. When I tested it on a laptop computer it seemed perfectly fine and the 5 cells in the row extended across exactly to the length of the monitor. But, then when I opened it up on a desktop computer, I had a problem. What you see is 4 of the columns on the monitor and then the fifth column is further to the right off the screen, which makes you have to move a horizontal scroll bar to see the fifth column. This table is also not flush with the heading table either obviously, although I have both set to 100%.
I don't know if my problem has to do with the table I made or the image sizes in Photoshop. In photoshop after I had scanned the image I went to "Image Size" and reduced the "document size" width to 1.5 cm to make the image come out a lot smaller. Should I be doing something different in Photoshop when changing the "Image Size"? Maybe saving it as a different measurement (choices are percent, inches, cm, mm, points, picas, columns)? Or, do I need to change something with my table/cells?
Anyone know?
Thanks.
P.S. I will post this in Dreamweaver and Photoshop, to get a little more help.

If I have to accept the fact that this table I made can't fit each person's monitor screen, then ok, but at least have it to where all the tables are flush with each other. If you take a look at the website URL I posted, every table I made for this page is set to 100%. No matter what computer I pull up the webpage, the heading tables and bottom copyright table come out to 100% of the screen size like it should. It is the tables I have for the pictures that extend pass this and make a horizontal scroll bar necessary and are thus not flush with the other tables. And,I figured out why. When I resized my images in Photoshop, I set the width of each thumbnail to 177 px. I also have 30 px padding on both the left and the right side of each cell (60 px total). So, calculating this we have: (177 px x 5 images across = 885 px) + (60 px padding x 5 cells across = 300 px) = 1185 px....an EXACT amount (which is MORE than my screen width) and OVERRIDES the 100% I set for the table. Therein lies the problem.
So, what I need to figure out is how to make either the cells or images adjust accordingly to fit the actual width of the monitor; 5 cells across = 20% each cell = 100% grand total across.
Follow me so far?
I know there has to be a way. I've seen other pages that can do it. I will keep trying and eventually figure it out.
Thanks for the help.
From http://www.awdsf.com/courseware/html/html2_tables.htm:
" A website that requires side scrolling is considered very un-professional."
And I couldn't agree more with this statement.

No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup. If the playlists are not in your iTunes library, on your computer, they are gone.

Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Last thing to try is quit the app and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Safari by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

if your "30 monitor" had either HDMI or component inputs, then yes. you'll also need speakers as well, so you will need optical inputs on those.

HT1807 Can I use a sim card from Taiwan when I go there in a month on the new iPhone 5

I am just wondering if I buy the new iPhone 5 on pay as you go. Can I use a sim card from a different country. I am off to Taiwan for 6 months in a month and would like to take the iPhone with me

If your phone is officially unlocked, & either of the three authorized carriers, in Taiwan, have nano sims available, yes. Otherwise you'll have to get International Provisioning activated for your account & use the phone while roaming...very expensive.

Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
OK the language page.
From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode
