How do I connect two iMacs?

I have a G5 and a G3 which I need to connect together to transfer info. Can I just connect the two with the Ethernet cable? My G5 is 10.4 and my G32 is 10.2.8

Yes, since your G5 is a recent model, you can use a standard cable. No special crossover cable or hub is required.
Also, if your G3 iMac is the type with a FireWire port (slot-loading CD), it may be simpler to do this (see link), if you simply want to transfer data. It's called FireWire Target Disk Mode.

This neat trick allows one Mac to show up as a external FireWire drive on the other Mac.

    how do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    Hey rodskc10,
    Thanks for the question! Based on the iMac model and TV you have, you’ll need to pick up a compatible cable. There are a few options that can be found on the Apple Online Store:
    Mac Cables - Computer Audio & Video Adapters, Network Cables & More - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables#!
    For example, if you have the latest iMac and an HDTV, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable should do the job (you’ll connect this to the Thunderbolt port, which is backwards compatible with mini DisplayPort).
    For additional information, see this article:

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.

  • Recently I bought a mini DVI to HDMI converter  from eBay for my iMac 21.5 Mid 2011, but only later I realised that it does not have the mini DVI port in that. How can I connect my iMac to a LG smart TV through a HDMI cable?

    This is the picture of all the ports from my iMac
    This is the mini DVI to HDMI converter which I bought from ebay. And I have the HDMI cable to connect it to my TV
    Could anyone please suggest me a solution how I could connect my iMac to the LG smart TV? Also I need to know if this transmits the audio as well to the smart TV?
    Suggestions are welcomed. I really appreciate and thank you for your time

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

  • How do you connect two Apple ID's?

    How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

    Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
    The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

    how can I connect two thunderbolt monitors to my macmini in windows 8 and bootcamp? Works fine in OSX

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • How do I connect two Queries?

    Hello all,
    How do I connect two Queries and add some numbers.
    Here is what I am trying to do.
    Query 1: Gets G/L Credit Amounts for Jan 2007  Feb 2007 March 2007.....Dec 2007
    Query 2: Gets G/L Debit Amounts for Jan 2007 Feb 2007 march 2007.....Dec 2007
    I need to put both these Queries in a worksheet one below the other and add the totals by each month.....so the final report looks something like this:
    I am using two structures to hold the query values.
    G/L Credit Amount        Jan 2007    Feb 2007.............Dec 2007
                                        +100         +200                   +400
    G/L Debit Amount           -50           -100                     -200
    Total                              50             100                      200
    Also, I would like to allow the users to enter Year as a variable. Any suggestions?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Venkata,
    Thanks for your reply. Could you explain how I insert two query results into one worksheet? And, also how do I link the two structures ( one structure per query) so I can total the amounts by each month?
    Thank you in advance.

  • How to i connect my imac and my macbook so there doncuments are up to date

    how do i connect my imac and my macbook so they are in sync and up to date with the same documents?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There isn't a way to connect both Macs with a cable to keep your documents updated on them. However, if you need all your documents updated on both Macs, you can use a cloud service as iCloud or Dropbox to sync your documents. Preferably, I recommend Dropbox because it can sync all type of files between both computers > http://www.dropbox.com
    Another thing you can do is to buy an external disk and put your documents here
