?can you do hdmi into iMac as a display using an adapter?

i have a 21.5-inch, Late 2009 imac, and want to try to use it as a display for hdmi connected devices like xbox etc., is there some kind of hdmi adapter to then input to the iMac?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Only Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Thunderbolt iMacs can be used as an external screen, so you can't use your Mac as a screen.
Also, you can only turn your iMac onto an external display through Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort, not HDMI. There's a special adapter to use the iMac as a screen for a PlayStation or Xbox, but it only works with 27-inch iMacs > http://www.kanexlive.com/XD

If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
In both cases...
If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world. If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie. I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

Identity cards are not things individuals typically make.
You can get yourself into big trouble forging fake IDs.

Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

Hello
In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
Thank you
alpha

Moved to Database forum.
No you can no longer modify the SQL directly. Use a Command Object to enter the SQL directly.
Thank you

Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
Thank You!

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Thanks for that, that was my first suggestion but he wants to not email either. His problem is he used his old nokia to do it and it was fine, now anything other than that he thinks is too much hassle.

How can you build time series measures in OBIEE without using TODATE AGO fu

How can you build time series measures in OBIEE without using TODATE and AGO function?
Please provide steps to build time series
measures in OBIEE without using TODATE and
AGO function. Dashboard results not storing
in cache when using TODATE and AGO functions.
eventhough its cached users queries not
hitting cache because queries doesn't match
exact date time when using TODATE and AGO
functions. so I want to build queries using
sysdate and some simple calculations. Please
send your inputs/ideas for my questions..
Thanks in Advance

This can be using Msum function in answers. Use the following formula, here dollars is my metric. Change the formula based on your metric.
Msum("Sales Measures".Dollars ,2) - "Sales Measures".Dollars
the report will be cached and better performed compared with time series. check ti

I have never used Illustrator...can you give me step by step instructions to use your t-shirt template? I watched the tutorials, but they leave out basic information

Can you give me step by step instructions to use the tshirt template for someone who has never used this program before

a free trail of lynda.com could help
lynda.com library | Trial Subscription
You might also try adobe's set of tutorials.
What you are asking is beyond the scope of this forum.
It's sort of equivalent to asking for step-by-step instructions for using cruise control for someone who has never driven a car before.
You will need to take some time to learn the program before you can successfully create work in it.

Can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?

I would like to put music under my audio books and my question is "can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?"

I am not aware of a way to play two songs at once in iTunes. However, at least on a Mac, you can definitely open and play multiple things in QuickTime player. Sooo, you could open a music file in QT Player then start it and start the audio book in iTunes. Or open the audio book in QT player and listen to that there while iTunes plays music.

HT3382 With a MacbookAir (mid-2012) using a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port, can you configure the external monitor to FULLY display in portrait mode yet keep the built-in display in landscape mode?

With an 11"-inch Macbook Air (mid-2012) using a mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port:
Can you configure an extended desktop with an external monitor (20") displaying full portrait mode (1200 x 1600 resolution) and keep the built-in display in landscape?
I'd like to see something like
External monitor / Built-in display

Yes, I can't see why not.
Just give it a try and report back if you have a problem.

How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the passoword?, How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the password?

Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!

Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Can you group emails into conversations by drag and drop?

Conversations in Mail is working fine. However, sometimes there are messages that don't link because they are from the same person but a different time or not in the current "related" group?
Can you MAKE them group into the conversation somehow?

I never have this problem
