Connect G4 to iMac Monitor

I recently picked up a G4 Dual 400 with lots of software and OSX 10.3. I would like to connect the G4 to the G3 monitor. Is this possible via G4 VGA port to G3 VGA port?
Also Can I turn the G3 into a slave of the G4? If not how do I transfer all data from G3 to G4 via network connection>
Cheers

Mitch, Welcome to the discussion area!

No. The G3 VGA port is an output port. It can not be used to input video.
Which iMac G3 do you have? What is the clock speed?

How do I connect an older imac to my new imac to use as a second monitor?

Hi !
I was wondering if it were possible to connect an older imac to my new imac to use as a second monitor?
My older imac is from 2006. The new one is a 2012 imac.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JC

Look this article over, the key is to connect either mini display port or thunderbolt and using CMD+F2, let me know if this helps or if it doesn't work out. I'll find another solution if this doesn't work Joel ^_^

Connecting a 2nd Palette monitor to iMac

I have an iMac 24" 28Ghz (1Mac,8.1) and want to connect a second palette monitor to the mini DVI port, using a mini DVI to VGA connector.
A search of the forum shows issues with cursor jumping and wrong resolutions.
I really want to run my Adobe CS4 suite with the tabbed palettes on the second monitor to my right.
Is anyone doing this without issues?
Peter

Well given the huge response, I figured I'd just go ahead and warn all the vendors that they could have their stuff back promptly if it didn't work as advertised.
I bought a dead cheap 2-for at OfficeWorks. 2 Philips 160EI TFT 40cm monitors, only A$186 for both. I also got an Apple mini-DVI to VGA adaptor which has dropped in price from Apple's previous rip-off rate to A$25.
Installation was quite straight forward although the monitor looks like a dwarf next to the 24" iMac.
I installed under OSX 10.5.8 and then switched to OSX 10.6.3. Under both it was recognised immediately but defaulted for some reason to a non-native resolution, easily fixed.
I didn't need to *color manage,* that's not what it's for, but both Apple's color calibration and the on monitor controls only screwed it up so I went back to the default settings just playing a little bit with the on monitor contrast and color to try and crisp up the Finder text which still seems too soft. Apple's color calibration lead it to be way too dark. The monitor controls way too light, so factory settings is where it stays.
Visually the monitor is a tad unsharp with a visible vertical banding a little like thin corrugation. Colors are pale, about max 70-80% tint to my eye.
I was able to set separate screen backgrounds, so that I could have a pleasing black & white background to my palettes.
I tested several applications running simultaneously along with movies on both monitors. All work flawlessly so far.
I can now run tutorial DVDs on the 2nd monitor whilst keeping the application to which it refers open on the main monitor. Nice!!
*Testing palettes with Adobe CS4:* They cleverly snap to whichever of the 2nd monitors edges they are dragged to and work perfectly even sensing the real estate available on the monitor. I have set them to snap to the inside (left edge of the 2nd monitor, which is to my right). This means that for the first time the optional sub-palettes pop out to the right in reading order.
All remember their position between re-startups. No sign of flickering or any of the problems reported in the forums. That is in both Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Flicking between fullscreen view using the tab keyboard shortcut and the toolbar options has different results. Sometimes the palettes stay with the main screen in full screen view, sometimes they disappear, I'm trying to work out what combination of actions sets off what.
*Testing palettes with iWork:* They have none of Adobe's smarts but can be stacked a little awkwardly to fit. Awkward because Apple hasn't worked out how to sensibly do this and made them different sizes. However they do remember their sizes (sort of) and positions between restarts.
Pages' Outline/Fullscreen view unfortunately blacks out both monitors. I was hoping I could keep my palettes visible on the 2nd.
Overall I am very happy. I worked with 2 monitors for almost 2 decades until Apple made it both expensive and extremely awkward on several occasions. It feels very liberating to have my full workspace clear again.
OSX is one clumsy design for handling windows, despite/because of all Apple's efforts.
There is no substitute for more/separate screen real estate. So far I am one happy camper.

Connect a Professional CRT monitor to iMac

Is there any way to connect a Professional CRT monitor to an iMac? I need to color correct my short film. If a regular monitor won't work what kinds will for accurate color grading?

I'm not sure what a professional CRT is compare to other CRT displays, but if it uses a VGA connection, all you need is a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.

I have a 21-inch flat screen CRT attached to my iMac at 1600x1200 resolution. It can go to 1792x1344, but that's a bit too small with the text, and the refresh rate drops to 60 Hz instead of 75 Hz at 1600x1200. You can, of course, choose all the standard resolutions down to 640x480.

HT1529 how could i connect a xbox 360 to imac monitor?

i would like to connect my xbox to my imac monitor to use it as a display.

In general you would unplug the monitor from the Mac Pro and then directly connect the monitor to the xBox 360 (with the correct adapter cable, depending on which version of the xBox 360 you have). However, if you don't have permission from the owner of the lab to be connecting and disconnecting cables you shouldn't be doing that. Buy a cheap 1080p TV and use your xBox 360 at home.

Connect display to imac

I just purchased a new Imac and need to connect my apple dispaly monitor so I can use both simultaneously.

The new Macs come with a Thunderbolt port rather than the previous MiniDisplay port, however, for non Thunderbolt monitors, you can plug your MiniDisplayport adapaters into the Thunderbolt port.

How to share iMac monitor

I have a G3 B/W with a CRT monitor OS 10.3.
I also have a iMac 20” OS 10.4
How can connect both the G3 and imac so that I share the iMac monitor with the G3 CPU? I would like to get rid of the CRT.
If this is possible would I use only one keyboard, or would I still have to use 2 keyboards?
Thanks
Happy 2009

These machines cannot share a display. No iMac—which is a completely integrated computer and display system—can be used in place of the display with another computer.
What you can do is run a 'headless' configuration: one in which your Power Macintosh G4 does not have a display, but is otherwise operable. Using a product like Apple Remote Desktop, you can control that machine from your iMac remotely.
There is a discussion are for ARD located here.
