Can the mirroring feature be used instead of docking?

I am considering a Mac Book Pro for travel and using a dock and monitor for home use.  I was searching docking stations (which unfortunately there aren't any Apple ones...) but not coming up with a good solution.  Can the mirroring feature on Mtn Lion be used somehow to make this work?

I'm no authority on this subject, but I know callmanager is focusing on working in a virutalized environment in the future.
It would make sense for us to eat our own dog food wouldn't it?
Someone may have some more details and timelines, but I'm pretty sure this is well on it's way.

  • Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories?

    Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories with the iPad?

    You cannot overcharge the battery when using the power adapter. Once the battery is fully charged, the iPad will no longer continue to charge if it is still connected. I leave my iPad on the power adapter for hours on end - on weekends when I am not at work.

    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    These are both worthwhile reading for concerns about the battery and how to properly maintain it.
    I know nothing about external speakers with the iPad since I do not use them - but If the speaker is with a dock of some sort that charges the iPad - you should have no worries. If it is a dock that charges the iPad - I know of no way to turn off the charging feature, but it will not shorten the life of the battery anyway as long as the battery is properly maintained and cared for.

  • Can non-Phone features be used w/o signing-up with a wireless plan?

    Q1. Is signing-up for a wireless plan (with AT&T) a requirement for using non-Phone features such as Music, Video, Mail, Safari, Address Book, etc.?
    I am not interested in the Phone feature, but am very much interested in using all the other features and using a Wi-Fi connection for Internet. Will I be able to use these non-Phone features without registering with AT&T (and paying $60/mth)?
    Q2. Is USB 2.0 a minimum requirement, or can I sync with USB 1.1 (albeit at a very slow speed), since I have an old laptop that does not have USB 2.0?
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Yes, the device will not operate without an AT&T service plan. You will not be able to use the iPod, iCal, etc. features without a plan. Even if you never intend to use the voice or EDGE data features.
    From my direct experience, the device may or may not work with USB 1.1 ports. Of the 7 computers I've dealt with via a customer or in-person only 2 even recognized the iPhone and neither allowed a sync/activation.

  • Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network?

    Can the WAN port be used as LAN when AirPort Express (2nd Generation) is setup to join a wireless network? (IE: 2 LAN ports)
    I haven't been able to get a clear answer on this. I believe the 1st generation would act as WAN/LAN depending on setting, but what happens with the 2nd generation?
    Thank you for your time.

    If the Express joins a wireless network wirelessly, in other words its WAN port isn't connected to anything, the correct way to connect a wired client to it is by using its LAN port.
    I don't know what would happen if you were to connect a wired client to its WAN port instead — it's just not supposed to be used for that purpose. It won't permanently break anything if you were to try it though. If you were, the worst that would occur is that your network would become unresponsive as packets continuously traverse its WAN port in a circular fashion, which might require that you power down your router to reset your whole network.
    If you are already using your Express's LAN port and you need another, the way to provide more ports is to purchase an inexpensive ($10 or so) switch. Connect it to the LAN port and as many other pieces of equipment as the switch's available number of ports.
    You're correct about the first generation with the single Ethernet port. It could be used in either capacity depending on its configuration.

  • HT1178 Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive

    Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive. If so what software do I need to buy?

    Can the time capsule be used with a pc running Windows Vista , 7 or 8 as a backup drive.
    Yes, on XP, Vista and 7. Have not tried 8.
    If so what software do I need to buy?
    Genie Timeline Pro does a very nice job...and it is similar to Apple's Time Machine.  It's not cheap though.  Check with the Genie folks for more info and compatibility with Windows 8.

    At times there also seem to be some issues with saving to a network link. When this happens, try saving locally and see if that does the job. Try working on the document locally and see if the issue goes away. If so, then you are dealing with a more complex issue involving networks. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution in that case, but it might be helpful to know if that is the issue.

  • HT2494 Can the headphone port be used as Mic-In? Can it be switched in settings of the Mac to Mic-in?

    Can the headphone port be used as Mic-In? Can it be switched in settings of the Mac to Mic-in?
    Same question for Macbook Pro (particularly 2010 13" edition).

    what about the new iMac?
    I use mic only when working in Sony Vegas and other Sony programs. I'd like to know if I can use proessional Mic with the new iMac and with the old Macbook Pro, probably by connecting it through audio-in port, maybe there is a way to transform it through the settings on the Mac into Mic-in?
    If not, then my question is can I otherways use a professional Mic staying in Windows through Bootcamp on a Mac? And the most important - the new iMac, cause that happens to be the only question that stands before me and buying the new iMac.
    Maybe I'm a little bit lame in all this stuff, because I'm used to use Windows-based computers to work with audio, but I didnt really understand what all that preamp and Line ment. I know that Line is a super-quality of the sound, guess thats possible to produce only in studios, not even with an extra good Shure mic at home. Or maybe you've been meaning smth else. If you could explane me everything in more easy and detailed way - I would be grateful.

  • Can the camera connector be used with nano 1st gen

    Many thanks!!

    The camera connector cannot be used with the iPod

    with color display, and Fifth Generation iPods out of
    those released so far.

    Ok thanks, but the Nano does have a Does a colour screen and can also store photos.
    Not that i dissagree with what your saying, its just strange!

  • Can the time capsule be used as both a time machine backup and NAS storage

    Can the time capsule be used as both a time machine backup and NAS storage?   I want to use the drive as external, wireless storage for all of my files so all my PCs, MACs and iOS devices can access the files.  Plus, I want to use the drive for backing up my iMac via time machine.  Can the time capsule device be used for both these purposes simultaneously?  If not, are the other suggestions on how I can do this?

    Can the time capsule device be used for both these purposes simultaneously? 
    It can, but is really not recommended. Sooner or later there will be a fight for space on the drive between Time Machine and the other files.
    If you have plenty of free space on the drive, you can do this......but.....have you thought about how you will back up the "other" files that are stored on the Time Capsule?

  • Can the Time Capsule be used just to back up on an existing wi-fi network?

    Can the Time Capsule be used just to back up on an existing wi-fi network?    We just set-up a new Xfinity wireless modem which is supposed to be very fast, but Time Capsule set-up instructions indicate we need to use the Time capsule as the primary internet connection.   True?

    My mistake. Meant to reply to snorris3. Text is repeated below:
    Can I still use it as a back up device?   My new modem is also the router.
    Yes you can.
    The best way (and really the only way) to set up the Time Capsule would be to connect an Ethernet cable from your modem/router to the Time Capsule.
    The Time Capsule will produce a wireless network by default, but if you don't want to use that network, it is a simple matter to turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule and use it only as a  hard drive for backups.
    I would be very surprised if the Xfinity modem/router would even come close to the wireless performance of the Time Capsule, but that may be another discussion.
    If you elect not to use the wireless on the Time Capsule, then you will be backing up over the existing wireless network that you already have.
    That would be a shame, since a third to half of the total cost of the Time Capsule is tied up in the wireless router portion of the Time Capsule. If you want to use the existing Xfinity wireless network, you could save yourself quite a bit of money by simply connecting a USB or Firewire hard drive to your Mac for backups. But, it's your call.

  • Can the time capsule be used as an external hard drive

    Can the time capsule be used as an external hard drive

    If you mean by usb to a computer no.. it is a network device only and has to be used via ethernet or wireless.
    It can be used standalone,, ie not plugged into an existing network.. but there are some steps required to make it work if you want internet connection at the same time. It is generally much easier to have the TC bridged into the network.
