Hook IMac pro to second monitor, Dell U2410.  Need help on setting from the laptop.

What setting are needed to set up external monitor Dell U2410 monitor.  I am make progress but still need to need the setting internal to the Imac Pro.
I am transmitting to the monitor.  The screen saver is there.  Hit F3 key causes anknowledgement. but open web pages they do not transfer.
I have used the system preferance which acknowledges the presence of the monitor.
Need suggestion if you have them.
Thanks,

The external hard drive should mount on your old iMac through USB. USB2 is backwards-compatible, only consequence is that you'll have to be patient with the long wait for your files to copy over the slower USB1 or 1.1.
Another alternative is to directly connect the two Macs via the ethernet cable. Instructions are here:

Note that you most likely need a crossover ethernet cable (versus a standard straight-though cable), based on this article:

  • Can I use my 24" iMac as a second monitor for my Mac Pro?

    I bought a Mac Pro with the 27" Cinema display and it's great. Now I want to use my old 24" iMac as a second monitor.
    How can I make this work?
    I appreciate all you support!
    Thanks

    By using ScreenRecycler and a network connection.

  • I want to use my old iMac G3 as second monitor to my MacBook Pro, how?

    I want to use my old iMac G3 as second monitor to my MacBook Pro, how?
    Thanks!

    You can't really do it in any normal way; that is, using the MacBook's video output port.
    You can use this program
    http://www.screenrecycler.com/home.html
    to make your iMac screen act as a second display, over a network connection. ScreenRecycler runs on your MacBook and creates a virtual second display. It uses the open-source VNC (screen sharing) protocol to serve that second display over the local network. You then run a VNC client program (usually free) on the iMac G3 and display the MacBooks virtual second screen in a window, which you can display full screen. Your iMac then appears to be the MacBook's second screen. You use System Preferences Displays pane to set it up, as you would a real second display.
    How well this works depends on your iMac's speed, what Mac OS version it runs, and the speed of the network connection. If you connect the two directly with an Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or better), the network speed should be decently fast (at 100Base-T). If your iMac G3 has Tiger (10.4), you can use this program as the VNC client
    http://www.jinx.de/JollysFastVNC.html
    (there are free VNC clients for 10.3 and earlier)
    However, this solution will never be as fast (in terms of screen refresh rate) as a real display using a real video connection. But you can try it at no cost, to see if it meets your needs.

  • MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

    MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.  This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
    Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
    I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

  • Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?

    Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?

    I've ran a benchmark on my Mac (iMac early 2009). Performance of Yosemite in general was about the same as Mavericks. But that can be different on other Mac's of course. Safari is mostly a bit slower. It's recommended you clean your old internet-caches and then restart Safari. (you can use a little app called CCleaner to do that). That might make a difference. Speed-issues are usually solved in the first and second update of OS X.

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • I just connected my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to a IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu?

    I just connected my wife's Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 to an IG 32' monitor. What resolution should I select from the menu in order to provide maximum screen appearance? My wife has AMD and a visual acuity of 20/400 with central scotonata.

    In System Preferences:Displays you have an option to show
    Displays Prefs in the title bar above the screen - where she can
    iteratively adjust to her liking. Higher screen resolutions, ironically,
    result in smaller characters so adjust to suit. Below, Displays is
    4th from L.

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.

    You need to use a product such as ScreenRecycler over an Ethernet or wireless network.

  • MacBook Pro as second monitor for 27" iMac

    Hello,
    Yesterday I purchased a 13" MacBook Pro and a Thunderbolt cable. I figured out how to use my 27" iMac as an extended display for the MacBook Pro by clicking cmnd F2 on the iMac's keyboard but how do you use MacBook Pro as an extended display for the iMac? Clicking cmnd F2 on the laptop doesn't work.
    I've come up empty with my searches.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks so much for all the suggestions! Really, it's opened up my way of looking at it and I can see how these suggestions could come in handy. What I've done for the immediate is install Air Display. It's not ideal as the image fragments somewhat when areas of an image are selected using PS on the external display (MacBook Pro). I'm an animation BG artist so detail is important but once it goes into the main iMac display it seems fine.
    I mostly wanted the second monitor as a reference point for what I'm 'painting' on the iMac and to have the ability to select colour, ect. Since I HAD to buy a MBP recently I figured I might as well get the the most from it!
    Cheers!

  • Use Macbook Pro as second monitor for a PC

  • How to use an iMac as a second monitor for an iMac

    I have two 21.5 inch iMac's (late 2009) and I want to use one as a second monitor for the other. I have a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort connector but when I connect it to both computers, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong once they're plugged in or if I have the wrong cable all together. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Not going to work, the ONLY 2009 / 2010 iMacs that supported Target Display Mode were the 27" models, 21.5" models simply will not work. Please read Apple FAQ on TDM and you will see I am correct.
    Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    While Neil is correct, Screen Recycler's performance is not that good so the user experience probably will not be worth it.

  • Using an imac G3 as second monitor for intel imac

    I just purchased a 20 inch intel imac and was curious if I could use my old imac G3 as the second monitor.
    I already have the DVI to VGA adapter to use in the mini DVI port on the intel imac. Is there an adapter that I can use to plug this cable into the VGA out on the back of my old G3 imac?
    intel duo imac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The VGA port on your old iMac is output, not input,
    so what you are suggesting wouldn't work.
    To do it, you'd have to take apart the G3 and hack a
    connection from the gfx card to the display to
    work... probably more trouble than it's worth, given
    the quality & res of the old g3 displays.
    Thanks for the quick response. Looks like I will have to pick up a second monitor.
