Connecting two iMacs using second one as display

I have two iMacs 8,1(2210) 20", I would like to setup it up as dual display (using one of them as a display only). Is it possible? Can't seem to find the right cable (mini dvi to mini dvi). Any suggestion? I saw a video with something about "command+f2" to extent the displays, is that right?

Connecting Two PC using internet connection ??

Hi,
I want to develop one software so that I can connect two PC using internet connection means one is host and another is remote.So that I can access remote PC's Hard drive using internet connction.Can any one plz give me some guideline how I can start.Eagerly waiting for someone reply.
Thanks & Regards

This is not what you have in mind, but it will work.
Create a server that listens for connections from a client. Create a list of commands that can be issued by client to view information. Such a list in your case would be similar to the following:
Open
ChageDir
Rename
CreateDir
DeleteDir
ListDir
Next, you need to implement the processes that will actually do the command on the remote computer. When the client issues the "ListDir" command, then adds a line (the path of the directory to list) the server should then do this (vary simple, but you get the idea):
File file = new File(theDirectory);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
String[] list = file.list();
socketOutputStream.println("Directory " + theDirectory);
for (int i=0; i<list.length;i++) {
socketOutputStream.println(list);
socketOutputStream.flush();
So, you should get the idea from this. For each command, have a method to handle the actual work on the server-side, then have the server send the resulting data back to the client for display. Notice how much this looks like DOS. It's the same idea - a command line interface (called a CLI).

When we connect two bw systems to one R/3 system?

Hi ,
When we connect two bw systems to one R/3 system,
could you please exlain what is the imact to SAP and BW in terms of query performance, batch performance,Develoment ,Quality system,security,BW Support.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
kranthi

you can connect multiple BW to single R3 source system.
In the delta queue (RSA7 in source system), you have a field with the target system, so you don´t have problem if you have many target bw system, because the data selection is done by system field.
Challenge arises when you have multiple R3 feeding to single BW system and then you have to consolidate the master data say 0material fed from different source system R3 then you can consolidate data using consolidated infoobject.
The following components concatenate to the key of a consolidated InfoObject:
1)source system ID (two-character source system ID; permitted values are stored NW BI table RSSOURSYSTEM)
2)one blank character
3)backend object type (four-character backend object type; permitted values are stored BI table RSBWBEOTYP)
4)master data key value as stored in the source system
Note that the key of a consolidated InfoObject solely consists of non-integrated informations from the different source systems. Integration across source systems results from a (maybee repeatedly applied) data consolidation and cleasing process which unveils duplicate master data keys.
Hope it Helps

How to connect two iMacs to the same FCE project?

Hello All,
Right now I have an iMac that is about 1 year old. I'm about to purchase another iMac. What I want to do is run FCE on both and work on the same video project on both. Is this possible?
So the idea would be that I one person A could color correct and person B could edit and perform other functions on the second iMac. Can you hook them up by firewire and do this or is this beyond what you can do with FCE and two iMacs?
Thanks for your help.
Mike

Hello Michael,
First, you will need two fully licensed copies of FCE, one for each iMac. Each license allows you to install FCE on 1 Apple desktop + 1 Apple laptop as long as you own both computers and do not use FCE on both at the same time. But it *does not* allow you to install it on 2 Apple desktop computers (eg iMacs).
Second, in order for two people on different computers to access the same project, you would have to store all the media & scratch files in a common location, and set up each copy of FCE to access the files from that location. The problems with this approach are 1) FCE cannot do this over a network, 2) you cannot connect an external FW drive to both computers at the same time, 3) FCE prefers that your FCE Project file(s) be on your system HD.
You could use an external FW drive to store your media & scratch files; then connect the FW drive to the computer that is going to work on the project - but not to 2 computers at the same time. You will still have to copy the FCE project file between the two iMacs each time you swap from one to the other for editing.

How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
Could anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks.

You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface. You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

Connect two iMacs in order to exchange data

Hello everyone,
I am about to buy a new iMac and would like to connect my old iMac via wire to exchange data. I do not want to use the migration assistant as I want to clean up my data. So is there a way to connect these two computers in a way that the old one appears like an external device in the finder of the new one?
Sorry if this questions has been asked before but I have been browsing the web for the past 90 minutes in order to find an answer to this question - no luck so far or I am just searching with the wrong keywords.

There is a way to do what you want: Target Disk mode.
The only thing you need is a FireWire 800 cable and a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter for the new iMac. After connecting both iMacs with the Thunderbolt cable, hold the T key while your old iMac is starting up to start up in Target Disk mode, so the old iMac's hard drive will show up in the Finder sidebar of the new iMac as an external drive. There you can transfer the files you want to your new iMac.
If you have got an old iMac with FireWire 400 instead, everything is much more difficult, because you may need a FireWire 400 to 800 cable too.
Another way would be to connect both Macs to the same network and transfer your files over Wi-Fi, but it is a long and slow process

Connecting Two Power Supplies in one PC

Hello there :hypecrite:
Will someone help me on how to connect two Switching P/S in one PC (If it's possible)?
I tried using two P/S in my old PC and it's working just fine. However, the problem is that I cannot switch them on simultaneously because the one is connected directly to the motherboard and the other, I just used a simple switch to turn it on.
Also, please check my P/S for this PC if it's OK.
Thank you and more POWER!!!
:hypecrite:

Hello again :hypecrite:
Thank you for your support guyz. I would like to tell you that you are all correct.
I think it's time for me to stop fooling aroung, experimenting things, too. And to trust the verdors instead. I looked for the psu brands that you all mentioned and it turned out my pockets could still handle such a cost, eventhough it costs twice as much as the psu that I have right now, but as long as it's dependable.
And about the problem with my CPU's temperature that I posted last November 12, 2004 (MSI KT4A-V with S/PDIF out and Core center), AMD support center finally replied to me and told me that my temp is OK but not to go above 70C.
Below is my inquiry to AMD and their reply:
My inquiry:
Dear Sir:
I would like to ask what is the NORMAL operating temperature of Athlon XP 2400+ FSB 266 model 8?
When my PC is at idle, my CPU temp reading is 60C and during full load, it reaches to about 66C. It doesn't have any problems though (such as random reboot) but I'm a bit concerned of the temperature reading. Some people say that it's a bit TOO HOT for comfort. Still others say that it is OK. What do you think?
I have read your post on MAXIMUM operating temperatures of Athlon XPs but not the recommended NORMAL operating temperatures.
And also when I turn the BIOS CPU core voltage to AUTO mode the default is 1.575V. My friends said the minimal operating voltage of 2400+ is 1.650V. Is it OK to just leave it to default?
Thank you very much

Dear Guillem,
Thank you for contacting Asian and Pacific AMD Technical Support Centre.
I can confirm that the temperatures ranges from 40° - 55° C in moderate usage and with a higher workload around 65° C, but never over 70° C.
What the correct voltage is concerned there are three models of the Athlon XP 2400+. If you have the CPU with the OPN AXDA2400DUV3C the
voltage should be 1.60V otherwise it is 1.65V.
It seems your system would overheat dangerously when set to the right voltage. I would suggest, you do check if the heatsink /fan is installed
properly.
You may find a different reading after upgrading your BIOS.
* Please make sure to download the right BIOS version for your motherboard.
Then, please, make sure that your processor Athlon XP 2400+ is configured in BIOS as follows:
- FSB speed to 133MHz (It is a bidirecctional bus, the full speed would be 266)
- CPU multiplier of 15x
- CPU voltage of 1.65V (1.60V if OPN = AXDA2400DUV3C)
With these settings the clock frequency of the processor should be 2000 MHz.
And finally you can test the CPU on another system to establish if the processor or the motherboard is responsible for the problem . If no other system is
available to you then ask your retailer/reseller to test it for you.
Given the case that the processor is faulty, we inform you that the PIB processors (box processors) have 3 years warranty, whilst OEM processors (tray processors) have only one year. In both cases the first year is given by the reseller and the PIB processors second and third years are served directly by AMD.
If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind regards,

Yesterday, I increased the CPU voltage to 1.60V (from the default of 1.575) and my temp reading was reduced to 50C at idle (from an idle of 60C) and at full load to 60C (from a full load of 66C). I was not expecting this though. I was expecting that my CPU's temp will increase further. But this is what happened. I guess the RIGHT THING should be the RIGHT THING.
Tomorrow, I will buy a new psu with the brands that you mentioned and I hope that my PC's stability and performance will increase further.
Again thank you very much for your support and all.

Connecting two iMac with a Firewire cable

Hello. First off, I have two iMac, one is a 24" early 2009 model (from now on, the "big") andthe other is a 21" first generation Intel (from now on, the "small")
Big one is sick, need heavy reparation. So a user of the forum recommended this:
"+Since you're able to post here, you have another Mac. You can use a FireWire cable to connect your iMac to another Mac in Target Disk Mode. This essentially turns your iMac into an expensive external HD enclosure. To boot your iMac into Target Disk Mode, start up your iMac and hold down the T key immediately after you hear the startup sound. Release it when you see the big FireWire symbol on the screen.+
+Then you can use a FireWire cable to connect your iMac to another Mac. This should mount the iMac's hard disk on the desktop of the other Mac. I suggest you use DiskWarrior to try to recover the files on your iMac's hard disk.+"
So, mi issue is that big one doesn't have a Firewire port. It's almost unbelievable but the true is that those models never came with that kind of port.
Any idea of what kind of cable should I use to link both computers? Thanks in advance!

Hi killthepixel
Both have FireWire Ports, the problem is that the Early 09 has a FireWire 800 port and the other if it's an Early white 20" has two FireWire 400 ports.
If that is the case, then you would need a 6 to 9 pin FireWire cable to connect the two systems up in Target Disk Mode.

Connect two iMac

You can connect an iMac 27-inch iMac with another 27 "and use it as a display monitor?
E' possibile collegare un iMac 27" ad un altro iMac 27", quindi utilizzarlo come monitor di visualizzazione?

Yes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924
Summary
With Target Display mode, you can use your 27-inch iMac with Mac OS X as an external display. Connect any computer or other device with a Mini DisplayPort to your 27-inch iMac using a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable or using a converter that converts other electrical, video, and audio protocols from another source device to Mini DisplayPort compliant signals. (Cables and converters available separately.)
To use a 27-inch iMac in Target Display mode with another computer as the source:
Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort cable to the Mini DisplayPort on each computer. The 27-inch iMac will enter Target Display mode and display content from the source computer.
Note: If you are connecting two 27-inch iMacs, connect a Mini DisplayPort cable to each computer and press Command + F2 on the 27-inch iMac keyboard that you will use as an external display.
To leave Target Display mode, press Command + F2 on the keyboard of the 27-inch iMac that is in Target Display mode. To return to Target Display mode, press Command + F2 again.

Can I connect two 4k TVs and one additional monitor via DVI to my MacPro (late 2013)?

Can I connect the following?
- 4k TV via HDMI
- 4k TV via Mini DisplayPort with an HDMI adapter
- DVI monitor with 2560x1440 resolution

I saw this page before but I am not 100 % sure if I interprete the statements correctly. For example, it is stated that "Two HDMI (HD or 4K) devices" are supported. When reading only this, it seems that the configuration in my question is not supported. However, they also wrote:
"Mac Pro supports a total of two DVI or HDMI displays when connected via the built-in HDMI port or using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. To connect additional DVI displays, use an active DVI adapter such as the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. You can connect up to six active adapter DVI displays. This requires a powered USB hub since Mac Pro offers four USB ports and you will need six to connect them all."
Does this mean that I can also attach additional 4k HDMI TVs (and not just DVI displays)?

Connecting two SCL systems to one backend

Hi,
Is it possible to maintain 2 SCL system connections to one ECC system? We have already connected one SCL system to ECC as a backend and now we want to connect second one. Is it possible to do that?
If yes how to maintain Logical Ports call parameters for that?
Thanks
Domas

Hi Domas,
As pointed our by Holger, this is supported for inbound flows where your use case is to read (pull) some information from SAP into SharePoint. But use cases like reporting and workflow which publishes some items in SharePoint you cannot have the same ECC system.
But if you intention is only for DEV landscape setup and want to save a VM image and still want to support reporting & WF scenarios, then you could also create a new client which is the copy of your existing clients in the same ECC system.
Since logical port configurations are client specific you could practically connect same ECC system (but 2 diff clients) to 2 gateway systems.
Thanks,

How to connect two BW systems to one ECC system?!?

Hi Experts!
We want to connect our ECC system (P11) to multiple SAP BW systems. Therefore we made a system copy of our productive BW System (P81) and create a new second BW System (T81). When I want to restore to connection to the P11 in the T81, Iu2019ll get the following error message:
u201CDie Verbindung CA wird im Quellsystem P11_001 als Verbindung zum BW T81CLNT001 genutzt.
Soll diese Verbindung im Quellsystem gelöscht werden? Nach erfolgreicher Löschung wird der Anschluss wiederholt.u201C
In English this message means something like that: u201EThe connection CA is used as a connection to the BW T81CLNT001 in the source system. Should this connection be deleted in the source system? This connection can be repeated after successful deletion.u201D
Now I ask myself: How can I connect our new BW System to our ECC System, without destroying the old connection to our productive BW system?!?
Have anyone of you an idea how we can handle this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Regards, Alex

Hi
This happens because of RFC settings duplication as your new BW system is copied from Old one.
First you restore the Production system connection by deleting the existing RFC. But this will delete the new connection you have created ( that is what your dialog message is saying)
Basically , before creating new connection you need to delete some table entries manually , then you can connect both the system to your same source system
Please find the link below where I mentioned the table names from where you need to delete duplicate entries manually.

Connect two BW systems to one source system

Hi Experts!
I would like to know if I can set up two BW systems connect to one source system. We copied and built new BW system (BW2) from existing BW system (BW1). We need to have both system connect to one source system. When I execut Restore from BW2 - RSA1 - Source System, I'm getting a following prompt:
"Connection cannot be used. The connection BB is used in the DEV400 source system as a connection BW1400 to BW. Do you want to delete this connection in source system".
If I select "Delete" then it replace exising connection between BW1 - DEV and creates new connection BW2 - DEV. If I go back to BW1 and do restore then same thing happens as BW2 connection removed.
Is there anyway we can set up two BW systems connection to one source system with restore? Connection works fine since each one can connection with no issues. Just when I do restore, it removes other connection.
Thanks.

Connecting two macs using ethernet

Hi All
am attempting to link my iMac and Mabook. I've done it before with a firewire cable, but have forgotten how to. Have tried varios combinations of password and user name, but can't get access to macbook from my imac. Am wanting to transfer photos from macbook to imace.
Saw a post about connecting using ethernet, but equally am not sure how to.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Robert

As Jolly Giant says you need to enable file sharing, though only on the mac you want to connect to. IE, if you want to connect to the MacBook from the iMac you'd enable sharing on the MacBook.
To connect by ethernet, simply plug one end of the cable into one mac and the other end into the other. If you connect to a wireless network using airport and your mac is set to use the airport before the ethernet (see system prefs> network> list at the side shows order) you may have to turn the airport off on one of the computers to ensure you're transferring files across the ethernet (rather than the wireless, which will be far slower).
Once you've connected the cable and turned sharing on the shared computer should show up in the sidebar of a Finder window. If it doesn't, check that Finder is set to show shared computers, in the menubar Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Tick Connected Servers & Bonjour Computers.
Clicking on the shared computer's icon in the sidebar should connect you as a guest, however at the top of the Finder pane there will be a black bar that says Connected As: you can then connect as yourself and you should be able to see everything on the other computer
