How do I connect one iMac to to another iMac

What cable do I need to purchase to connect my current iMac to my old iMac and use the old iMac as a second screen?

Any iMac ever made does not have the ability to do this
Apparently not quite correct:
Using a 27-inch iMac (Late 2009 or Mid 2010) as an external display
beccarock8 I don't know if it will work but if you connect your old machine to your new one and use a mini-displayport cable and launch your old machine in target display mode as directed by that apple doc I linked to ti may work...or not. The wild card here is the thunderbolt to mini displayport. Certainly the TB connection can be used to connect to a mini-displayport display. The question is does the old computer look like a display to the new machine?
Note I said use the older machine in target display mode. The reverse definitely won't work since a TB device cannot be connected to a mini-displayport source.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have the cable, just connect it to both and the desktop will show up on the external display. Then, you can select different modes, changing arrangement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, or using shortcuts > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019

Hi,
How to switch from one Data base to another data base if first data base server like in restoring,blocking,network disconnected state.

Sounds like a problem for forums/support from the DB provider, as this problem is normally solved through some form of HA provided by the DB (or some cluster software, but still not Java) with, normally, a shared (virtual) IP address.

Thank you for your support

What iMac model do you have ?
The 2011 ThunderBolt iMacs only work with other ThunderBolt Macs Thunderbolt 10.6 Help: Using another Mac as an external display
For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs with Mini DisplayPort you would need something like the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd
The Kanex XD is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs.

How do I make one window progress to another in swing

Ive got to design a simple quizgame interface using Swing. Its got to have a player's front-end - gives a selection of questions where the user selects one of five answers, a scoring front-end - displayed after game that allows user to enter their name and a manager's front-end - used to enter questions. The thing is I only have to design the interface. I want to have a front window that leads to the managers front end, scoreboard, and game seperatley. I also want the system to report back when the players got the question wrong or right and then take them to a scoreboard. I dont know how to keep this all seperate from the normal code in the program being written by someone else. I also dont know how to make one window lead to another etc. Please can someone help. does anyone have some code I coulkd adapt for this purpose Im really stuck!!!

Have a look at CardLayout. Rather than adding removing components, you can keep your three screens separate. Basically, you have three JPanels only one of which will be displayed at any one time. If one has textfields and you switch to another and then back, the text in the textfields will still be there.
Here's some snippets from an application of mine:
// set a 'container' panel to cardLayout. This will 'hold' the panels to be displayed at any one time
private CardLayout cardDisplay;
deck = new JPanel();
cardDisplay = new CardLayout();
deck.setLayout(cardDisplay);
// add your various screens to the 'container' panel
deck.add(logonPanel, "LogonPanel");
deck.add(newUserPanel, "NewUserPanel");
deck.add(bookingPanel, "BookingPanel");
deck.add(printPanel, "PrintPanel");
// add the 'container' panel to the contentPane
c.add(deck, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// switch the display, for example when a button is pressed, by using
cardDisplay.show(deck, "NewUserPanel");
cardDisplay.show(deck, "EnquiryPanel");

How do I import one iPhoto library into another?

I have one iPhoto library on my iMac--family photos--and just imported another one from a Mac Mini, which I've called iPhoto (hiking), as it is photos of our hiking trip. I'd like to import everything from the latter into the former, then delete the latter. I tried just dragging the latter in, but instead of merging, it replaced the former. I've fixed that, thanks to Time Machine, but now need to merge my libraries. Any ideas?
Thanks

Well I'm not sure what you did but no one else has managed to ever import one Library to another without causing a mess as described above - in fact as you describe yourself:
It imported the photos and the thumbnails. All I had to do was delete any duplicates and orginize it.
You also lost any keywords, albums, Faces and Places along the wy. Merging two libraries will not import any thumbnails, there will be no duplicates and you'll have no organising to do.

How to transfer from one external drive to another?

I am trying to move files from one external drive to another. I can write to both drive from my Mac. When I do a large transfer using Finder, I only get a few files and an error code 50.
I'm using two Seagate drives, one formatted for Mac only and where I'm writing to, and one formatted for PC and Mac. I have written and read successfully to both drives.

I moved some movies and some seldom listened music (coped the files) into a folder on the Lacie drive. Then I reimported them to the main itunes library while holding down "option". This created a link to those files to the external. the files show up in my itunes but cannot be played unless i have the Lacie connected to them.
See this link.

How do I answer one call and put another on hold

I have an iPhone 4; when I am talking and a call comes in and I attempt to answer the incoming call I invariably drop one of the calls...how do I put one call on hold while I answer the other? Will updating the software solve the problem?

See page 47 of the manual:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Note: you'll need to have Call Waiting enabled through your carrier.
Best of luck.

How do you set one column equal to another?

how do i?
at cell B2 i would like to enter a number. in column C, i would like to have the same value for c2 through c11 cells. so, c2 through c11 i would like the value .2 in each cell. in column D, i would like the values found when columns B and C are multiplied. i would like the value of B3 to be the value found in D2, b4 to be the value found in D3, b5 to be value found in D4, etc.
is that possible to do using formula for columns? or something, well short of hand coding each cell.
thanks,
g.

let me try to clear up what i was asking, but no guarantees here.
i was trying to create a spreadsheet that would allow me to calculate the interest on an initial amount of money. i was a little frustrated when i wrote the post. i didn't understand how to do it using a construct like (D2:D20) = (B2:B20) * (C2:C20), which as far as i can tell is incorrect syntax, grammar, etc., just wrong. really wrong!
i'm not an accountant, as you can ready tell. i think though this is called simple interest.
ok, here's what i was looking to do, by way of an example:
given $1000 and an interest rate/ or rate of growth of 20% annually, calculate the amount of money one would have after 25 years. compounded annually.
$1000 * 0.20 = 200
$1200 * 0.20 = 240
$1440 * 0.20 = 288
$1728 * 0.20 = 345.60
$26,623.33 * 0.20 = 5,326.67
i realized what asked for was not this, well after i had posted and tried my post request by hand. so
i really understand the confusion.
i sure there is a built-in function for this, but i don't think i would have recognized it, because i don't know the financial terminology.
using the copying and pasting method, i built the first two line above and decided it had to be a better way, solving this kind of problem is what spreadsheet programs do... i copied B3 to cell B4, i copied cell C3 to cell C4, and i copied D3 to D4. copied and pasted. to my surprise, of course, because i had not read the manual completely, it copied the function to the cells and used the correct last values. (confusing here, but i hope you follow) after seeing that, i copied B4 and selected B5 - B21 and pasted, B4 to those selected B cells. i copied C4 and selected C5 - C21 and pasted, C4 to those C cells i had selected. that put 0.20 into each. i copied D4 and selected D5 - D21 and pasted to those selected D cells.
i seems to have worked.
i do have a question though. let's say instead of using 0.02 in column C i used 1.2. this would give me the amount of money i would have without having to add the initial to the interest made.
1000 * 1.2 = 1200
how do i assign the value, 1200, to another cell without using the copy and paste method? or is copying and pasting the way to do these kinds of things.
thanks everyone,
g.

How to load from one BW System to another BW System

Hi Guys,
I want to load the BW data from PAX(BW-Production System) to PRX (BW-DCC-System) .Is there any steps to load it from One BW System to another BW System.
Any doc available to do the loading from One BW System to another BW System.
Pl mail to [email protected]
Send me the steps .
Points will be assigned.
Thanks,
Chinna

Hi Chinna,
Loading from one BW system 2 another primarily involves loading data from one infocube to another in other BW system.
U can create export data sources from infocubes ( rt. clk on infocube n then select ) and then use these datasources to load data into the infocubes of othar system in usual way.
Try this out.
Hope it helps,
