Can the iMac 24 display support 2 inputs i.e. can I conncet my Mini?

My PC is getting old and I'm thinking of switching to an iMac 24". I also have a PowerPC base mini currently shares the display with my Dell using a digital KVM. Is it possible to connect my Mini directly to the iMac 24 and switch the display between the 2 computers?
thanks.

As there is no video input on the iMac, you cannot use the iMac as a display for the mini, but check out the program Steve mentions. I use Microsoft's Remote Desktop to control my PCs from my Mac and CotVNC is supposed to be even better.

  • Can the iMac G5 supports TWO USB 7-port Hubs??

    Hi all, call me greedy but belive it or not, I am running out of USB ports!!
    I have a Belkin 7-port USB 2.0 Powered Hub (with 2 ports pointing upbright) which serves me very well, but I am running out of ports, now that I am considering getting the new iPod nano.
    Anyway, there are 3 ports behind the screen, now I have my Mighty Mouse, the Hub's USB cable and a HK Soundsticks attached.
    I am thinking of getting another similar 7-port Hub, they are actually stackable, but of course I won't use all 7 ports fully on the 2nd new one.
    Can the iMac supports and substain 2 USB hubs?? I have actually never seen anyone with more than 1 hub??
    Thanks and cheers

    I have two USB hubs attached to my iMac G5 - they are both self-powered (their own power supply); one is a USB 2 with 6 ports and a multi card reader built in and the other my old USB 1 with 4 ports. They are plugged into the rear of my iMac along with the printer. Everything else, including keyboard and mouse, are plugged into the hubs and I am using a total of 8 ports - and everything works. I don't know if that would change if they weren't self powered.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

    I have a core duo 2GHz iMac intel. Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

    Do you mean will your iMac work with a router that supports dual band? If  this is correct, the answer is yes. If that isn't what you intended please look at the system specification for your machine. You can find that by clicking Support - Tech Specs

  • When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

  • Can the IMAC use an extended monitor?

    I have the old Imac G4, a fantastic computer, but the screen has driven my old eyes crazy. I'm looking at getting a nice new Intel Imac and was wondering if it has the capacity to extend the screen to a second monitor? I know the original Imac could not do this. Will the new Imac have this capability.
    Thanks in advance, you guys have saved my life on more than one occassion.

    Yes, the Intel iMacs are the first iMacs to be able to support a seond monitor in both mirror and extended desktop mode.
    According to the tech specs found HERE (look in the middle column under "Graphics and Video) and you will see that the iMacs have -
    "Support for external display in extended desktop
    * Digital resolutions up to 1920 x 1200
    * Analog resolutions up to 2048 x 1536
    Support for external display in video mirroring mode"

  • I had CS4 on my iMac desktop (two users) but my hard drive completely crashed. We bought two new Macbook Pros (one for me and one for my daughter) but CS4 didn't transfer over. The iMac is totally dead so we can't deactivate it there.  My daughter is head

    We had an iMac with CS4 and the hard drive finally crashed. My daughter and I were both users on that computer.  We purchased two new macbook pros and had the data transferred but CS4 didn't come over. The iMac is totally dead so we can't deactivate anything from it. She is heading off to college soon and eventually will need to upgrade but for now CS4 is just fine. I also need it on my computer.  Help??

    Contact support by web chat to reset activations and reinstal lthe programs properly.

  • Can the AirPort Extreme support more than one printer at a time?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?

    can the AirPort Extreme support more than one USB printer at a time if it is connected to a USB Hub?
    Yes.....IF.....you use a powered USB hub.
    I have had 3 printers connected at the same time in the past and assume that more would work as long you have a powered hub to support the number of ports that you need.

  • HT4621 can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

    can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

    As the others have said, this is a really chancey thing to do...there have been several users on here during the past few weeks with questions about using out-of-spec ram...most had trouble with it.  Macs will sometimes accept higher spec memory, sometimes they will not.  Corsair has been getting some very good comments lately but that is from those using in-spec memory.
    Best solution is the correct memory.  And as noonday recommended, Crucial and OWC are very good and stock the correct ram.

    Can the iBook G4 support photoshop elements 6?  My operating system has been upgraded to 10.5.6.
    Thanks, Sheila

    I just realized I need 64MB of VRAM for elements 6 and I only have 32MB.  Does that mean elements 6 would not be compatible?

  • Compared with the iMac display...

    Why does it seem to me that when compared with the iMac display, the 30-incher looks somewhat grainy and plays videos not so well? Is the 24" iMac display actually a better display?

    The Cinema Display has a anti glare coating on it. I have heard allot of people who have the 30" display complain that it is very noticeable. I have the 23" and it is noticeable but it's not bad at all.
    I too have my display connected to an iMac but I think the Cinema Display looks much better.

  • Can the iMac dvd drive read or accept mini-dvds/cds? thanks

    Can the iMac dvd drive read or accept minid-dvds/cds? Thanks

    Don't even attempt it. It won't work, and the disk will just get stuck in the drive's mechanism. If you want to use mini-disks, you'll need an external tray-loading optical drive.
    Regards.

  • How much sdram can the iMac 2007 20" dual core 2.4gHz take?

    How much sdram can the iMac 2007 20" dual core 2.4gHz take?

    Not SDRAM but SO-DIMM.
    The max RAM is offically, 4 GB (two 2GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SO-DIMM) module but, with larger modules released after that model's specs were written, you can achieve 6GB with one 2GB plus one 4GB module.
    You must get the 4GB from a Mac Savvy vendor or it won't work. OWC has the larger modules that are well-tested in Macs:
