Connecting powerbook to a macbook to display on both screens

I would like to display an iphoto slideshow on two screens. My slideshow is on a G4 15" powerbook and I would like to be able to display it on that screen and a macbook at the same time. How do I connect the two together and output to both screens from the powerbook?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi, Michael. It would be simplest just to install and run the slide show on both machines, independently and simultaneously. Neither a Powerbook nor a MacBook is designed to be used as a second display for another computer. That said, it is possible, using a VNC client, to set one machine up so it displays what is running on another Mac. But I'll be darned if I can find instructions for doing so using any search terms I've thought of so far.

  • Tecra M11-11L: BIOS udpate to get power on display on both screens?

    Is there a BIOS update that allows me to select "BOTH" as an option for the Power On Display?
    Currently it only lists Auto-Select and Internal.
    Auto-Select only outputs to the external screen if one is connected.
    I need to set the default as output on both screens.
    Older Toshibas do this. In fact, every other Toshiba I've used has this feature.
    As a presentation/hire/conference laptop, this is an important feature.
    And yes, I've updated the BIOS to the latest version.
    Thanks

    No, there is not such BIOS update which would add this option.

  • How to connect Powerbook 1400 to macbook with Gigabit ethernet

    I have a wonderful Powerbook 1400, system 8.6, no cd drive only floppies 2 PCMCIA card slots (which may be both not working, a SCSI HDI-30 ethernet slot.
    How can I recover the date on this computer, as i just realised after buying a new Macbook dual core that it has a Gigbit ethernet which is a different slot.
    Can anyone help?
    thanks, Maria

    Maria,
    I also still have my 1400; it's in beautiful shape but I never use it anymore.
    Since the 1400 did not come with Ethernet or modem, you had to add them via a PCMCIA PC card or install internally an Ethernet card (no internal modem card). I believe there is also a SCSI > Ethernet adapter but this is all more work than necessary. None of the ports on the 1400 are compatible with the MacBook.
    I think by far the easiest method for retrieving data is to buy a PC Card Adapter (this fits into the PCMCIA card slot) for $10, then buy a small flash memory card. After you put the memory card in the PC Card Adapter and the Adapter into the card slot, the flash memory card mounts on the desktop as just another "HD" and you drag-copy the files to the "HD". There is no software to install.

    However, you will also need a USB card reader for the MacBook. Possibly you know someone with a card reader and they could burn a CD for you.
    You could also use your 1400's floppy drive to copy data, then buy a USB floppy drive for your MacBook, but if you have a lot of files, this is cumbersome.
    You can buy a used Ethernet PC card but you require the correct Ethernet software plus it may be difficult to get file sharing working with the MacBook, not because your MacBook has Gigabit, but OS 8.6 and Tiger have a difficult time talking to each other.

  • Exactly what cables and hardware do I need to connect my early-2008 MacBook Pro to a flat-screen TV monitor to have both video and audio?

    Hello--
    I'm trying to figure out how to connect my 15" MacPro Book from early 2008 to a Sony flat screen TV monitor. I've been told I need a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" and a "HDMI to HDMI" cable, but I've also been reading that some cables only work with 2010 & 2011 laptops and that I may need additional cable/hardware to obtain audio. Could someone advise me on exactly what products I need to purchase?
    Thank you!

    Which MacBook Pro 15" do you have?
    With the silver keyboard (Early 2008)) or that one with a black keyboard (Late 2008)?
    If you habe the Late 2008 you can use a miniDisplay Port + Audio to HDMI like that one (stereo sound) or that one (5.1).
    If you have the Early 2008, it's not so easy, because you need a DVI + Audio to HDMI like that one (the Audio Channels had to be converted to Coaxial!) So much more adapters! Maybe there is a manufaturer which has the all in one solution)
    Both MacBook Pro DOESN'T support audio on the video output! The later ones (Mid 2010 and later) supports Audio output within the miniDisplay Port.

    im running OSX 10.7.4

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
    That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
    Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
    Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
    I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.

  • How to power on Macbook via connected Apple keyboard via LED Cinema Display

    This is just a bit of daily annoyance, but...
    Is there a way to power on my Macbook via the cable-connected keyboard to the display?
    I saw a power button on the Apple wireless keyboard and thinking about switching to it.
    Is anyone able to power up the Macbook and display via the wireless keyboard?
    Yeah yeah...I know..I could lift screen on my Macbook and push the power button as usual.

    My MacBook wakes up by itself. I haven't been able to determine anything that might be triggering it. I've tried all the fixes I've been able to find in previous discussions, but it still wakes up randomly.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks to all my Mac buddies for your assistance

    The Early2009 20" or 24" iMac don't have any video-in capabilities.
    Depending on your needs, you can investigate or tryout AirDisplay or ScreenRecycler which enable use of a Mac from another Mac or Windows PC through network/wireless connections.
