Display a windows laptop on an iMac display

I cannot use certain needed Windows based software on my Mac using Crossover (I really don't want to use Parallels or Boot Camp).
I have a Windows laptop that I could install the software on. But because I would be using it quite intensely throughout the day (it's stock trading software) I need to use in on my main machine.
Can I display what is seen on the Windows laptop on my iMac G5 (iMac8,1) Intel Core 2 Duo display?

Set up a VNC connection between the computers.

  • Wirelessly connecting Windows laptops to an iMac G5 to share files Interne

    I am wondering if someone could tell me how I can share files with windows PCs wirelessly but also securely. I have setup a network so that Windows PCs can access my iMac G5 that connects to the Internet through the airport card. I can get the windows PCs (laptops) to access the Internet through my iMac G5's airport card but I also want to share files back and forth wirelessly between the Windows PC laptops and the iMac G5. I am able to view all my iMac G5 files on my Windows PCs but that's not what I want. Isn't there a way to make it more secure so that only a shared folder is available for access by the Windows PCs? Right now if I go into Windows and setup a "My Network Places" then the PC has access to all those files on my iMac and that's not what I want. At this point someone with access to my iMac G5 could just wipe out everything. Not secure at all.
    Could you guys give a novice some pointers?
    I am still having problems with this. I can get my laptop to share my internet connection with my mac, but once I set a password on my Mac--well I can't get my laptop to connect. It is quite strange.
    Someone suggested me to look here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1161.html
    I tried to follow the directions on the link he suggested, but I'm using OS 10.3.9, so maybe that is the reason the directions are not exactly the same for my system.
    Right now, I can open the System Preferences, go to Sharing preferences, turn on windows sharing...but that's as far as I can get.
    Do you know if there is any document that can show me how to securely share files with a windows PC for my version of Mac OS?
    I would also like a way to share files from my iMac to the Windows PC as well.
    I have successfully been able to get my Windows Vista laptop sharing the internet connection with my iMac. The problem is that this connection is insecure, so therefore anyone can connect.
    I have no idea and have not had luck finding any fix for this by browsing/search the knowledge database.
    How can I set it so that anyone that wants to use the shared Ethernet connection (via my airport) has to input a password?
    Every time I try to associate a password with the connection, my laptop is unable to share the connection any longer.
    Windows will just tell me that the wireless connection is incompatible because of the security features of that network. It doesn't even ask me to input the password.
    Besides this, I still am unable to get the file sharing to work. Is this because I'm also trying to share an internet connection between the two computers?? or...
    After working on this problem for awhile, I've found some helpful information on the web that refers to connecting a Vista computer to a MAC with OS 10.5. Even though this is the case, I got my iMac to share it's internet connection and now I'm able to access the Windows vista laptop files on my iMac. I still, however, am unable to access the files on my iMac through the laptop. I've followed all the info on this website:
    http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3022.html
    but I'm still not having any luck.

  • Want to use Dell Laptop/Dock with iMac Display

    Hello, i currently have a MBP and a Work Laptop (Dell with Dock) and i would like to change my MBP to a iMac but i would like to use the same display on the iMac for the laptop dock too.
    Is this possible?
    I have read a couple of posts and am i right in thinking that there is no way of doing this with the new iMacs or the very new iMacs getting released in Nov/Dec?
    Do i need to buy a 2009/2010 iMac and if so, is this easy to hook up?
    Thanks
    Barry

    I just checked my laptop outputs, it does not appear to have a display port out, but the dell dock it sits in does.
    Will this just need a display port to mini display port?
    Thanks

  • HT5219 Thunderbolt Display to Windows Laptops w/o Thunderbolt?

    Any new adapters or docking stations on the market?
    PC doesn't have Thunderbolt HW, so so looking for HDMI and VGA options.  All I've read is that they won't wake up the Thunderbolt display.
    Any suggestions for both interfaces?

    I haven't found any converter for HDMI to Mini DisplayPort that will work with a Thunderbolt Display and haven't found a VGA to Displayport converter at all, though there may be one out there somewhere.
    Regards.

  • IMac + ethernet switch + windows laptop

    I'm trying to use my windows laptop and my imac on the same ethernet switch. This was working, but now I've added a network connected printer.
    The printer and the iMac are working fine, but my Dell laptop keeps losing its ability to connect to the network. Dell says to restart the cable modem so it gets a new IP address. Well, doing this once is OK, but this seems to need to happen all the time.
    Please confirm, using these 3 devices on an ethernet switch should be fine right?

    Tell me more please? What are you referring to as an ethernet switch? Is this a router, an ethernet hub? Is this connected to your modem? What is the printer connected to, the switch or a computer?

  • Need to Share Keyboard, Video, and Mouse Between Windows Laptop and Mac

    I need a Mac that shares a keyboard, video, and mouse with my company issued Windows laptop. Usually this just requires a KVM switch but the current iMac has no video input. Subsequently, I can't feed video from the Windows laptop to the iMac's screen.
    _Are these the only solutions for my situation?_
    1) Buy a Mac Mini and share a separate LCD (Too underpowered for me)
    2) Buy a Mac Workstation and share a separate LCD (Too overpowered and pricey for me)
    3) Buy a MacBook Pro (Might work but I am wasting $ since I don't need portability)
    4) Wait for new iMac that MAY have an input (Like it should already!) Anybody have any info on this!?
    Many Thanks!

    I think what you are looking for is an open souce program called Synergy that works on both Mac and PC to give you a software KV(not M).
    You set one machine up as the server, and the other as a client. The server will then control the control the keyboard and mouse of the client machine.
    The alternate is Microsofts virtual screen sharing that allows you to see and control your windows machine in a window on your Mac. All of these require some set up, so you might want to check with your works IT dept.

  • Can i use a hdmi to mini display port cable to use my iMac as external monitor for a windows laptop?

    Does anyone know if a hdmi to mini display port cable can be used to link a  windows laptop with an 27 inch iMac to use the iMac as an external monitor. Or are there other options to connect my DELL latitude 6430?

    Is the 3.5mm-to-optical cable any better than using a standard 3.5mm?  I don't know too much about this stuff.  My thought process was that if the source of the connection is a 3.5mm jack, does it make a difference using a cable that starts as a 3.5 and converts to optical?
    Chances are excellent that if your receiver is less than 20 years old it has an optical input, this is a digital signal which will sound MUCH MUCH better than using an analog 3.5MM to 3.5MM connection. I recommend using the cable suggested or one with the same connections but of a different length if your needs warrant it.

  • Using iMac as display for Windows 7 (thunderbolt to thunderbolt)

    I currently have a 27-inch Mid 2011 iMac running OS X Yosemite, and my company has issued me a Lenovo W540 that is running Windows 7 and has a thunderbolt port (not mini-display -- yes, I'm sure).
    I have spend countless hours trying to use my iMac as a display for my laptop, but have had no luck. When I plug the iMac into the laptop, my laptop does recognize my iMac as a "Base System Device", but when I go to the System Information on my iMac it recognizes that a cable is connected, but says there is "No device connected" to my Thunderbolt ports, and attempting Target Display Mode (Cmd + F2) has no effect. So, has anybody ever gotten this to work? Is there a separate set of drivers that I need to install on my Windows laptop to recognize my iMac as a display?
    I have done virtually hundreds searches on this, and haven't found anything that relates to my specific case. Is this simply not supported? I appreciate any help that can be provided!

    Hello Allan,
    I appreciate your response. I have read that a Mac running Windows with Bootcamp can use TDM, so I expected it would be a matter of installing proper drivers, but, unless anybody else has had some success, I think I'm about ready to admit defeat.
    I appreciate you proposing a software solution, however, ScreenRecycler only supports using a Windows PC as another display, not the other way around. I did play around with a couple other software solutions, but none of these solutions would work well once my work PC is connected to VPN.
    I guess I'll continue to work off a small laptop screen while a giant 27-inch screen on the same desk goes unused. Very frustrating.

  • Disconnecting Cinema Display Leaves Windows Stranded on Laptop

    Dear All,
    I use a 17" PowerBook with a newly purchased 20" Cinema Display in dual screen (non-mirroring mode) at work and just the laptop at home. The CInema Display is set as the primary monitor.
    Using Excel in dual screen mode before leaving work on Thursday, I had a spreadsheet open on the laptop (secondary) screen. I disconnected everything and went home. Now, with only the laptop, that spreadsheet is inaccessible. It's open and, by using Expose I can see it, but when I pick it, it just slides off the screen.
    Is there any way to get it back?
    I'm figuring when I get to work I'll be able to get it. And I also assume that I should have probably gone through a "detect displays" sequence after disconnecting (although that's not working now). Maybe using the laptop as the primary display is the secret as well. However, it would be nice to be able to get it now.
    Incidentally, I do not find Apple's dual screen setup very elegant. Having the main menu only at the top of the primary screen means a lot of mouse movement when using the secondary screen. In addition, when I use right click menus on some secondary screen programs, they appear on the primary screen.
    Thanks for the help... Jim
    PS - For those who saw my post on another forum about a window too large to access, it is not related to the dual screen. It is running on a different system without the dual screen although I tried using the larger dual screen to acces it (unsuccessfully).

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
    tell application "Microsoft Excel"
    set bounds of window 1 to {61, 95, 465, 313}
    end tell
    Insert the application's name in the first line inside the quote marks, press the Run button, and then resize the window. Close all open documents in Excel which you can see. This script may not work for all applications.

    I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
    After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
    How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.
    grateful
    Julio Cesar

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • Apples update didn't work for me: Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7

    Boot Camp: iMac displays a black screen during installation of Windows 7 - Apple Support
    I have followed each of the steps listed in the link above with no success.
    Prior to adding the extra drivers I was able to start the Windows install process up to reformatting the "Windows" Bootcamp drive. After that the computer would go through some instal processes and eventually restart. After the restart the screen would go black. The black screen lead me to the  Apple Support link above dated March 5 2015. After going through steps listed in the link above, I get an error message stating that the D:\Sources\instal.win. file cannot be located. I am forced to restart the computer at that point and theWindows install process attempts to start again but always ends up at the same point.
    Note: I am installing windows 7 Pro from a DVD. I scanned the AutoUnattend.xml file and noticed that it refers to "Windows 7 ULTIMATE" but not "Pro" or any others that I could see. (see below). Could that be part of the issue?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />

    Here is an over-simplified explanation of WIM and CLG files. Assume your DVD Media contains

    W7- Home Premium
    W7- Home Basic

    The File .wim will contains a compressed image which contains File [1...5].
    The W7-Ultimate .clg will have 5 entries, with all set to 'Y'.
    The W7-Professional .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','Y','Y'.
    The W7-Home Premium  .clg will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','Y'.
    The W7-Home Basic .clg file will have 5 entries, with 'Y','Y','N','N','N'.
    This allows a single .wim Image file on the DVD media to be used to install any of the 5 flavors of Windows. When you enter your product key, the Installer knows what specific W7 variant you have the key for and will tell the WIM to extract the specific files the installer needs to be extracted.
    The following line
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    is telling that a retail product key will be entered, which should go look for this specific .clg file (from the five you already have on disk).  You can test if it will work for you by changing this line to the following
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:d:/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    If it does not work, the other issue can be related to device discovery. Typically A: and B: device names are reserved for Floppy Drives. C: is your internal HDD.
    D: can either point to the Optical drive, or the USB. The normal convention is that the removable media is named from Z: backwards. Y: and Z: are usually used for Network drives, so X: should be your USB. First try with the change to "Professional". If it does not work,

  • VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...?

    Attaching VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...? Is this possible? I have a personal MBP that'd work fine, but need to connect a work laptop as well. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

    As mentioned, the biggest issue is that the VGA signal is analog, and the Apple Cinema Displays only accept digital signals. Does your laptop have any other videop output ports? A DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort would be the easiest, of course, but if you have an HDMI connection, you could get something like the Atlona HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter and Scaler. Not exactly cheap at $170, but if you really need it, and you have the port, maybe it is a solution for you. The only issue, it seems, is you would be limited to 1920x1080 resolution.

Maybe you are looking for
