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,

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 ^_^

How connect External monitor to iMac?

How connect External monitor to iMac?

How to do that depends on the iMac variant you have. iMacs have been in continuous production since 1998 in four broad families that are not 100 percent alike in behavior.
Please look at the iMac images and descriptions in the links on this site:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
and tell us what variant you believe you have.
iMacs from the first through third-generations (G3, G4, and G5 processors) that support an external monitor were not set up to do anything other than "mirroring"--you see on the external exactly what is on the built-in display.
Your description sounds like you have a newer iMac than this forum covers because, starting with the Intel iMacs in 2006, external monitors were allowed to do both mirroring and "extended desktop." The latter is what I believe you are seeing.
Try this first: press the F7 key. On many Macs capable fo using external monitors, this was a shortcut to toggle between mirrored and extended display. If your keyboard has an "fn" modifier key, you may need to press that to get the F7 key to work.
If you have an intel-powered iMac I can ask the Hosts to move you to that forum, which is much more active than this one which is for pre-2006 iMacs.

How do I connect my 27" iMac to the HDMI port of my LCD TV ?

How do I connect my 27"iMac to the HDMI Port of my LCD TV ?

I have the 22" imac
beside it I have an 24" dell monitor
I used a miniDisplayport->DVi converter in the TB port of the imac
thats the best performance because DVI like Displayport are both digital interfaces
same deal with hdmi really
so you need a miniDisplayport to dvi or hdmi depending on the inputs on your tv
and a cable and thats it

How do I connect my 27" Imac to my 47" Vizio HDTV?

Good Morning!
I am attempting to connect my 27" Imac to my brand-spankin-new 47" Vizio 1080p HDTV. I know there is a way to use the TV to display videos, internet (Netflix), and such, but I'm not sure what is the simplest and most effective way to get the best display and performance.
What equipment do I need to make this happen?
Thank you for your assistance, brilliant people!

Second monitor on iMac not working with Lion

I have a mid-2011 Thunderbolt 21.5" iMac. A secondary monitor is connected to the iMac with a Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable (a single cable, not an adaptor and cable).
When I was running Snow Leopard, the monitor worked just fine. After upgrading to Lion, the second monitor just has a black screen, and quickly goes into power save mode.
I have already tried resetting the NVRAM (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379) and resetting the SMC (as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).
Has anyone seen this problem? Any other suggestions for solutions?

same here, just performed the upgrade to Lion and my secondary Samsung screen (direct HDMI cable) do not work anymore (I have a mid 2011 iMac 21.5'').
I have tried the tricks mentioned on the following discussion:
No Signal on HDMI TV After Lion Upgrade
ie open terminal
cd /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/
sudo mv DisplayProductID-0 DisplayProductID-0.old
Reboot after entering the commands
But it is not working, the developper clearly messed up the video output in Lion OS!!!
Let me know if you have a solution, I am reduced to single screen use in the meantime... and regret the upgrade...
Thanks

External monitor with imac not working

Hello.I have problem with external monitor connected to my imac 27 via mini display port to vga connector. It was working perfectly but around month ago it suddenly stopped. It looks like my monitor doesn`t get any signal from imac, at least that`s what is says on external monitor.. also, when monitor is connected my mouse is jumping all over the place. I`ve been looking everywhere but i couldn`t find solution to this problem and i know there are many people having the same issue. Did anyone find solution?

I have my 24" connected to a 32" TV via DVI and have had no problems thus far.
When you open display preferences is the external display detected? If so, try switching between mirror and extended to see if it comes on.
The only other thing I could suggest is to try another VGA connector and/or cable. The fact the mouse goes erratic sort of points to there being the problem somewhere in the connection. You might want to try DVI if your monitor supports it.

Which dual monitor for iMac 21.5" 2010?

Hey guys,
I've had my iMac 21.5" 2010 model for a while now, but now I would like another monitor.
It must be:
-Around 21.5"
-Preffibly LED back lit
-Black and/or aluminium
-Connect to my iMac
Do any of you have any suggestions for good dual monitors. Currently I'm not looking at the Cinema displays.

Back in the mid 90s I had a 17" display that I thought was heaven but as DTP and graphics software became more powerful I decided I needed a second display but when I went looking I found my display had been discontinued. The second display was also 17" but it was about 5 inches taller. I liked it better but I found it disconcerting that they weren't vertically aligned. A couple old college text books solved the problem.
More recently I received a nice HD LCD display from my wife when she upgraded and it was maybe an inch shorter than my iMac. That didn't bother me at all. The display itself is 2" larger than my iMac and that didn't bother me either. I sometimes connect my notebook to the LCD and then the size difference does bother me so I only use mirroring with the notebook.
If the height difference bugs you, cheap out with a few books or go the classier route with a little shelf to raise the LCD. Or, find a display that has an adjustable height.

Can't connect to my iMac when energy saver is active. Screensaver is okey, but if the screen is blacked out, I cant connect using vnc/teamviewer/logmein. SSH is okey. :(

Anyone else having this issue? Worked great in snow leopard. Updated to 10.7.1

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working. I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.
