Can the new 2012 imac be used for ps3/xbox?

Hi, i'm looking at getting the new 21.5" imac and i'm wanting to know whether i could/how to use it as a monitor for xbox/ps3 somehow?
I've looked all over to try and find out how, but all i seem to be finding is that the hdmi to mini display port adapters arent compatible with the thunderbolt models, so is there anyother way to do it? Thanks

For a more definitive answer please read what Apple says in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Can the new keyboard USB be used for iPod connection for charge & sync'ing?

    I have never had an iMac..yet.
    Goon buy the new one soon, I was going to get the wireless keyboard but it doesnt include any USB ports like the wired version so because the iMacs USB are put on the back (shouldnt they put on in easy reach on the front?)
    Can the iPod be plugged into the keyboards and charged and synced?

    Get yourself a [Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port for Macintosh|http://www.provantage.com/belkin-f5u233-apl~7BELU032.htm] to prevent having to reach around to plug/unplug your devices.
    I have my keyboard connected in one USB port.
    Then I have my printer connected into the second port.
    Then a 7 Port Belkin Hub connected in the thrid port.
    Then all my cords for iPod, camera's and other devices are connected to the Hub.
    Then there's no need to plug/unplug anything but, the device to it's cord and flash drives into that top port.

  • Has anyone seen the new 2012 iMac in any Apple stores yet?

    I was told by an Apple store employee that they would have the new 2012 iMac's in the Apple stores with-in a few days of their launch announcement, back in late October .... here it is late November and the new 2012 iMac's are not yet in the Apple store, for display purposes, here in Rochester, NY.
    Last night I was again at the Apple store here in Rochester, and asking about the new iMacs. one of the employees now says they "may be out in December" some time.
    I'm very disapponted as a loyal Mac user for over twenty years (and even as an Apple investor). that Apple is announcing the launch of these new products, and then taking months for these products to show up for sale.
    I'm starting to think that it won't be until late January that I can actually be able to purchase one of the new 2012 21.5" iMacs ..... i've been waiting years to get a new "antiglare" iMac.
    Has any one actually seen one of the new 21.5" 2012 iMacs in one of their local Apple stores, on display yet?

    UPDATE: Dec. 6, 2012
    I was just over at the local Apple store loking at the new 21.5" iMac, and to be honest, I wasn't all that impressed. I have been waiting for over a year to upgrade my Mac, and had high expectations for the new 2012 iMac's .... but seeing and playing with one in the store .... the new one's may not be for me.
    Most of all I wanted to believe all the talk about 75% less reflections in the new iMac display, but while in the Apple store, I saw no real difference over the previous model ... and if so, it was more like 25% less reflections. Nothing that dramatic, certainly not like the "anti-glare" screens available in the 2011 MacBook Pro. Basically, my understanding is that the new 2012 iMac's use the SAME DISPLAY as the previous iMac models did. It's the LG "LM215WF3" display, same as those in the 2009-2011 iMac displays. The only difference in the 2012 display, is that they took out the small space between the outer glass and the actual screen surface to get the overall display thinner. It still has the basic "glossy glass" cover screen.
    The other disappointment was the extremely poor audio sound from the new iMac's built-in speakers. They just sounded so "tinny", even when playing with multiple iTunes "equalizer" settings. Again, disappointing.
    Looks like I'll have to research the possibility of buying a Mini-Mac and an older Apple 20" cinema display off eBay. Or pick up a late model 2011 iMac and get the Rad-Tech "anti-glare" screen film for the display (Ugh!).
    Being a graphic designer and art director in profession, I just can't understand why Apple has abandoned the "professional" market for these glossy displays in it's iMac line .... or at least STILL hasn't given us an option for a true "anti-glare" display.
    Is it just me, or are my observations on the new 2012 iMac being seen the same by others as well?

  • Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

    Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

    Well, I'm not sure how anything can fit into a 5 mm depth, so I can see why they've removed the CD drive -  there probably wouldn't be enough room for the laser, LOL. Can't imagine speakers, hard drive (of any flavor), logic board and so on and so forth. Fortunately, my iMac has Applecare through early 2015 so I'm set for a while; I may check out a Mini at that point - saw that it is configurable with a fusion drive, which would make it interesting for me.

  • Can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast

    can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast.

    Hi mho,
                 1.usb is very high speed that is correct.Better you can choose PCI DAQ.But thats upto you.
                 2. see this:-
                 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14136
                3.If Matlab support TCP/IP, that could be an option.
                   see Another idea: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/244A37667BD7CBCE86257520007F937B
                   Another simplest way to do it (assuming you running Windows) is to use a Matlab script.
                  If both programs running on different systems:-
    Most simple and slow - Create two  VI's  with shared variable on both machines, and use a matlab script to
    share data. (this makes matlab some kind of "slave").
    More advanced but still  relatively slow (Create two  VI's  with shared variable, on the Matlab machine build the .NET
    dll, and it can be used on Matlab too ( at least at 2010b version, earlier version support only COM).
    Create TCP/IP connection between two comps.
    There is "out of the box" NI products, that communicate with Simulink models.You please do a simple search on that...OK
    I think this link is also helpful for you:-

  • My daughters ipod shuffle was stolen.  can the new owner just start using it on a different computer?

    My daughter hadher ipod shuffle stolen.  Can the new owner just start using it on their computer?

    Yup....
    I'm sorry the only thing he has to do is restore it with another iTunes Library.
    With the iPod Touch there is 'Find my iPod' which tracks your iPod.

  • Does the new 27" iMac still use mobile chipset for 4850?

    In the previous iMac models the 4850 video card was based off the mobile chipset. Now I'm wondering if the new specs have bumped up the video card to use the desktop chipset.
    I assume it isn't to keep the same form factor but with the added space it seems possible...
    Anyone know?

    ifixit.com has a photo teardown of the new 27" iMac. Perhaps you can get an idea from the photos. They did mention that the CPU is the Intel desktop model instead of the mobile version in previous iMacs.

  • Can the same Apple TV be used for two separate TVs?

    We just moved into a new house and need to know if our Apple TV can be used to stream content to the TV in the living room and the TV in the garage, or if we simply need to buy a second Apple TV.
    The TV in the living room and the TV in the garage are both wired to the same Denon two-zone receiver. The living room is where we watch all of our TV and listen to most of our music. But the garage doubles as a home gym, so I'd like to be able to either watch videos like P90X and Insanity -- they're all in my iTunes library now -- or listen to music while I exercise. Perhaps this is possible due to the two-zone capacity of the receiver.
    I don't need to be able to stream content to both places at the same time, by the way. This is just for the mornings when I want to work out. Right now, the Apple TV is connected to the back of the receiver in the GAME input and works beautifully in the living room. The TV in the garage is yet to be installed, although the wiring back to the original zone is already done. Again, all the speakers and wiring for both TVs will be in the same receiver.
    Is the Apple TV capable of doing what we need it to do, or do we need to get another one?

    I bet you are searching in the wrong forum for solution.
    Since you have a receiver, witch is able to transmit two different signals to two different TVs (just the matter of switch - i suppose?), than, the media being sent from Apple TV just has to be redirected to the 'right' TV witchever you use at that moment.
    Different story with the Audio. Dont know if you using the Speakers on the TV's or on separate Audio Systems.
    Cheers

  • Can the Classloader Analysis Tool be used for modules that fail to deploy?

    I'm getting an error:

    And from searching, it seems it could be a classloader issue (I have made the .jar containing the class available in $DOMAIN/lib and the issue persists). So I am looking at the CAT tool: Enterprise Software Development with Java: Using the new WebLogic Classloader Analysis Tool (CAT)
    My module is not listed here though, and I'm wondering if CAT can help me analyse my .ear that failed to deploy. Otherwise, how can I proceed to troubleshoot this?

  • Can the SPA112 phone adapter be used for an entry door station?

    I have a client with a large IP phone system and a number of analog door intercom modules that need to be integrated with it. Long story short, they need the analog door stations to be on the IP system so that when the doorbell rings the phones they can see which one was pressed.
    Currently we're using a Channel Vision controller that the incoming analog phone line passes through, the Channel Vision will ring the line into the IP gateway just like any other exterior call. The IP system, on the other hand, needs an extension to be dialed for a "page all" to be sent.
    So my questions are: Can the SPA112 get the analog intercom on the IP system? If so, can the SPA112 be configured to dial the proper extension when there's a "ring" on the analog side?

  • ACE: Can the ft-vlan port be used for other vlans or not?

    Hi People,
    I am a bit confused reading cisco's documentation. I am now using the ft-vlan in a dedicated port (no other vlans), but I would like to use it as a normal port in order to use it in a context.
    From cisco website:
    "You cannot use this dedicated FT VLAN Ethernet port for normal network traffic; it must be dedicated for redundancy only.
    When you specify an Ethernet port or a port-channel interface as a dedicated FT VLAN, you have the option to either configure the dedicated VLAN as the only VLAN associated with the Ethernet port or port-channel interface, or to allocate it as part of a VLAN trunk link (see "(config-if) switchport trunk allowed vlan"). Note that the ACE automatically includes the FT VLAN in the VLAN trunk link. If you choose to configure VLAN trunking, it is not necessary for you to assign the FT VLAN in the trunk link along with the other VLANs."
    First it says, you cannot use this port for other traffic, and then it says this port can be a trunk port. If the port is trunk, then obviously you pass other vlans too. Right? or not? So can the port that has the ft-vlan be used in a context with other vlans?
    thanks,
    george

    Then simply do not use the 'ft-port' command.
    This command "auto" configure the interface to be switchtrunk with one vlan  allowed.
    If you reconfigure the interface with your own switchport command, all you risk is some kind of collision or a future software version which will deny this kind of configuration.
    Here is what I use to have vlan 500 part of a normal trunk interface.
    But be aware, that if your interface is overloaded, FT traffic could get dropped and therefore you will end up with 2 active units causing major traffic disuption.
    This is why we recommend to run FT on its own interface with no other traffic.
    Generating configuration....

  • Can the G500 Speaker system be used for Mac systems?

    Sorry I did not get back online quick enough...but the passwords are the same.
    For some reason, after my first cold boot, I was still prompted for the hard disk passwords.  I powered down again and when I powered back up, it signed me on all the way through.  So it was just a hiccup.
    All is good now and I'm very happy!
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Can the new intel iMacs run Classic?

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows if you can run Classic on intel
    Intel iMac 17" 1 Gig of Ram 1.83 ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The inability to (easily?) run Classic was a big and unexpected issue for me, when I upgraded from my PowerPC 7500 running OS 8.6 to an Intel iMac. Frustratingly, the iMac had lots of software and lots of Help suggestions about how to migrate from OS 8 or 9 to OS 10... but none of it was useful on an Intel machine.
    After a fair amount of work and some third-party shareware, got it all to work. Moving (exporting then importing) Quicken records was the most difficult task. The most persistent problem is the absence of extension or type/creator information on the files I've moved, which renders them invisible to Spotlight.
