Can I use the iMac monitor to watch TV?

Am I able to connect the cable to the iMAC monitor so I may watch TV?

Yes but you need some third party hardware to do so, visit www.elgato.com and select a tuner for your needs.

THE IMAC MONITOR

HELLO ALL,
IS THERE A WAY TO TURN OFF THE IMAC MONITOR AND USE AN EXTERNAL MONITOR INSTEAD. I INITIALLY WANTED TO EXPAND THE DESKTOP, BUT FOUND OUT THAT I COULD ONLY MIRROR IT. SO, I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS IDEA. IF ANYONE WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO GIVE GUIDANCE I WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Some iMac G4s can be hacked to extend rather than mirror display. It could permeanently damage your iMac if it goes wrong - i.e. power fails mid install.
There are also iMac G4s out there with their screens removed. So these things are possible.
Google for 'Screen Spanning Doctor' and 'The Mac Orb'

HT201413 I get error 20 when I try to download updates to installed Apple software I have two users on the IMac. I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari. Why do I need to do this? What is going on?

I get Error 20 when I try to download updates for installed Apple apps on my IMac. I have two users on the IMac, and I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari, opening and closing the App Store for each user, shutting down and restarting the IMac for each user, until finally the download works. There must be an easier way. I also have an Air, where I have no problems whatsoever. Both machines have Doorstop and MacKeeper with the same settings, so I have ruled those programs out as the cause. I believe iot is because I have two users - any ideas?

I have an interactive CD-Rom as part of my Italian language text, and have loaded it onto the iMac. How can I also copy it to the iPad?

You can only install apps from the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app directly on the iPad. Does the maker of the CD have an app in the store with the CD contents already in it ?

Will OS X Mountain Lion have an eReader for the iMac?

Will OS X Mountain Lion have an eReader for the iMac so we can read books bought from the iTunes store on our large screens?

I fear the answer to your question is no, see the Apple Support Communities link https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3964073?start=0&tstart=0

I have ? marks on the dock on my eMac now ++

Hi,
My eMac had been running a bit slow but also my keyboard may odd sounds (clicking) and typed very slow and I could not open folders or even .pdf files on my desk top, I did make adjustments under System preferences under keyboard and mouse (delay etc) some how that got corrupted and that seems to have corrected it
My eMac specs=
(eMac 1.25 ghz 1GB ram 80GB HD (all stock from Apple Education Store) and running
OSX 10.3.9)
I ran Disk Warrior , no change and no major issues reported (other than may have been repaired) , I ran applejack (twice)ran Disk utility to verify and then repair permissions and then applejack AUTO for a deeper run (?thats when the ? marks on the dock showed up (when You move the mouse over the ? mark it identifies what it is and when you hold the mouse down over the ? mark it says on all three of their names and to look in finder(may not be the exact term)The ? mark items are WMV player (found it using file find) , other two are IDVD and iMovie HD (using file find I could not locate as a application itself, most (using DVD and Movie under two file find (individual) search's (results= were
in the library as pkg or mpkg , I am running Omni Disk Warrior now to see if the show up, I did locate DVD player (my eMac has a CD-RW and DVD reader not a super-drive so I can not burn DVD's but baffled as to what is transpiring (I have the Ilife install install disks if needed that came with the eMac and the Operating system disks and the utility disks that came either with the eMac or with the Apple Care that I purchased. (*Note this eMac has a replaced logic board
it did fail (under warranty) and was in that serial number , time frame where the boards failed regularly, mine just went black screen one day, sure I would like a new computer but I am not in the market nor $$ ready (I hope they cut the Imac prices down but thats wishful thinking) (never know)
* One Thought (though I did not make these applications/files such is ? invisible files (got that way some how? ) One other thing is in the very beginning fairly large symbols would show up on the screen at random (one frequent one looked like
a square root symbol or a division like symbol (though I was not hitting any odd combo of keys etc nor do I see anything like them on the eMac keyboard
has any one had this issue? or parts of it..ANY input would be greatly apprecited
Thanks
Peace and

Hi,
(I guess I could have edited my original post but I found this (where else but Help on the toolbar and used "dock question" as my search tearm and this came back (as the first on the list)
The Dock contains a question mark icon (this was the title) and below the answer (only thing (unless I am misinterpreting the answer) is I did not delete the applications) and I am he sole user of this computer, we have 3 Mac's and one HP PC in the house on a network)
Omni Disk Sweaper did not find Imovie HD or IDVD (fragments yes and a .pkg (? installer
but in library/receipts)
I can do below but I need to reinstall fro the Ilife desk or ? use Subrasoft File Salvage which we have but ? not sure if the license is expired etc.
If you delete an application or document that has an icon in the Dock, the
Dock icon changes to a question mark.
To remove the question mark icon:
Drag it from the Dock.
To add a new item to the Dock, locate the item and drag its icon to the
Dock.
Thanks

Wii/Nintendo Gaming --Can I hook up my Wii to utilize the iMac monitor?

Can I hook my Wii system up to utilize my iMac monitor?

The only iMac with built-in video input is the new 27-inch iMac, and that currently only works with DisplayPort input. All other iMacs only have video output, not input.
You can add video input through a USB interface device. Because a Wii is designed to work with a TV, you may be able to use a device that makes Macs act like a TV/DVR. This is one example
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ElGato/10020630R/
I'm not familiar with the type of video output (and the connection type) for the Wii, so you'll have to look into it some more to see if such a device will work. The most popular devices of this type are made by Elgato and Miglia, and they offer several different types.
If it works, the device plus included software will display the video input in a window on the iMac. You can view it in that window, or expand it to full screen. I have an older device (standard def only) and I use it to watch video from a TiVo on my iMac's screen.

How to delete a Gmail email from the iphone and have it remain on the iMac?

I use Gmail and have the email accounts set up as "imap". I would like to be able to delete emails from my iPhone 5, yet have them remain on the server. I read on the internet that it can only be done by changing the accounts from imap to pop3 accounts. However, since I also have an iMac and an iPad 3, I still want to be able to sync these so the emails can be retrieved on any of the devices.
I supose that the only way to do this is to remain with "imap" accounts. But, there may be another problem. I was under the assumption that once the iPhone reaches a total of 200 messages, it will start to delete any above this amount. In this case, I will start to lose my messages on the server. Even if this is not the case, I don't want the mobile devices to end up with hundreds of emails that I would like saved.
My question is this: How can I save the emails from the Gmail account to a separate set of folders that will archive these forever (if I choose)? Can a folder be set up on the iMac with subfolders for each category that I want? If so, how is the actual move of the email done? Can it be copied to the new folder immediately so that later when it is deleted from the Gmail account, it is permanently saved in the new Mac folder? Thanks

Hello Kailua,
I know that you can mirror you iPhone's display onto a Apple TV, as can you with the Mac, but I do not think you can mirror your iPhone to your iMac.
Sincerely,

I had installed Maverick on two computers. The first one is a Mac Mini a new one and it gave me Keynote and Number for free. The other computer is a iMac and if I want Keynote and Number I must pay 19,99$ each. Why do I have to pay on the iMac?

I had installed Maverick on two computers. The firs one is a new MacMini that my husband purchased last week. When I had installed Maverick the applications Numbers and Keynote were free and installed on his computer. When I do the same on my iMac, I had to pay 19,99$ for each applications. We have two differents Apple ID. Why I do pay for these applications when those were free for the iMac and in the add Apple say it's free? Or, is somebody can tell me how to installed those for free.
Thank you.

They are only free via the account orginally purchased or if they came pre installed on the computer. Depending on what you have purchased already us the one account for the app store - saves headace and hassel in the future thus not double buying software. Do you have iwork installed on your imac? meaning the iwork 09? if you do your should be able to to to the store and update it. Worked fine for me since i bought the DVD version of iwork 09 and Aperture 3. I did not want to have to rebuy them so the app store noticed i had them installed and changed the update via the app store.

Detect displays seems to have quit working? The secondary monitor is bleeding into the MacBook Pro monitor. How can I fix this?

I am using a MacBook Pro 2009, Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8). All of a sudden last night after a long day of work, my monitor resolution changed without warning and the secondary monitor display started bleeding into my laptop monitor. When I go to detect displays, it doesn't fix the problem. It looks like I need to switch to a larger display setting and the largest setting has disappeared.(The display seems to default to this setting where my screen bleeds into the laptop monitor.) When this started happening last night, I immediately shutdown and restarted to see if this would fix the problem. So far, it's still not looking too good.
I also tried shutting the laptop and using the external monitor only. When I do this, the monitor freaks out and keeps flashing on long enough for me to input a password. Then it flashes off, the computer and dipslay goes to sleep and I have to re enter my password to exit sleep mode and the process starts all over again.
Here are screen shots of the two monitors side by side:
http://danisco.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/monitors.png
(Notice the weird overlap - it's not keeping me from working, but it's super annoying!)
Any ideas on how I can try and fix this? OR do I need to get help from Apple directly. Thank you in advance for any suggestions on this!

Okay - this issue seems to have resolved on it's own. Yea!
I did find a thread that suggested resetting the PRAM/NVRAM so I did this, restored the external monitor to factory settings and went into Disk Utility and repaired disk permissions and verified disk permissions.
Here is a link to reset the PRAM/NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
These things may have helped resolve this issue. I can't tell what worked because it was hours after I did all these things that my monitor and computer decided they liked each other again. If you have a similar issue, maybe these steps will help you resolve your problem too.
Hope this is helpful!

I have scratch marks from the smart cover(polyurethane)

I got this APPLE iPad2 early Febuary 2012 & now it's April. I took the smart cover off only twice. When I took it off today a piece of metal came off. Also the smart cover left a 2 marks on the side of the ipad & there's a dent on the magnetic strip on the smart cover. I do not have protection for this ipad. With the one year limited warranty does anyone know if APPLE could replace this or am I out of luck? I do not like how it looks seriously.

I, i think I had the same problem as you ... I had a big scratch on the bottom of my iPad .. So I called apple and they set me an appointment at the apple store... At the apple store They did persist but they finally changed my iPad and my smart cover for new one ... I hope it helped you ...

Why do I have question marks in the finder window header?

Ever since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion I've noticed a large question mark in the finder window header. There is a smaller one beneath it, and they're both located just to the left of the search window.

Can you do a screenshot please?
Also may just grag and drop them outside the finder window.

Does apple have an app for the iMac which is similar to Microsoft office?

does apple have an app which is equivelant to microsoft office?

http://www.apple.com/iwork/
However, I don't think the current version runs on any of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers. If you iMac is pre-2006, we can give you some options if you tell us more about your computer, mainly processor type and Mac OSX version from "About this Mac" in your Apple menu.
Microsoft makes Office for Mac but, again, what you can run depends on what iMac variant you have and its OS version.

After last icloud backup, unrequested by me public holidays in the UK have been marked on the calendar and I can't find how to delete this. Also, I have been trying to delete a birthday from the same calendar for months and it keeps reappearing.

iPad 2 with iOS 7.01 After the last backup to Icloud, unrequested by me, my calendar has been filled with public holidays of the UK which there doesn't seem to be any way of deleting. Also, I have been trying to delete a birthday from the calendar for months, this time using all variations of 'delete' and it keeps popping up again!

Are you also restoring from your backup? That sounds like what is happening or someone else has your Apple ID.
A backup to iCloud would have no way to add UK holidays to your calendar. Open Calendar, tap on Calendars at the bottom middle of the page and untick the ones you don't want.
