In the case of using Target Disk mode between computers, a similar restriction is also present. The adapter will work in Target Disk Mode; however, it will only do so if first plugged into the system before invoking target disk mode so it can be initialized by the firmware.

  • How do you transfer pages application from macbook to new iMac

    how do you transfer pages application from macbook to new imac?

    Install it on the iMac using the same method you used to install it on your MacBook.
    If your MacBook came with it already installed, it may not be a version compatible with your new iMac.

  • How can you transfer photos from iPod Nano to new iMac?

    My friend has an ipod nano. Here's a photo, not sure what gen. it is.
    He had a PC that no longer works and has no data left on it. His original iPod Photos were stored on that PC that no longer works.
    He has since purchased an iMac and is running Lion OS X, all up to date.
    The problem: He NO LONGER has the ORIGINAL PHOTOS, only the ones on his iPod Nano, that used to work with his PC, which no longer functions.
    He would like to copy the photos stored on his iPod Nano, to his new iMac.
    Using finder, he went to Device, then clicked PHOTOS and dragged the folder to his desktop. It said there was 1.43 GB of content.
    However, all that was saved to the desktop was (see other photo) Photo Cache, Photo Database and Thumbs. There are no photos at all. What is he doing wrong? Thanks.

    There are a number programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

  • How do you connect 3 HDMI monitors to the new Mac Pro running Maverics. HDMI to thunderbolt adaptors only support 2 displays. The fine print in Apple docs HT 5918 indicate  the Mac Pro will only support 2 HDMIs.  Anyone found a workaround?

    I am trying to connect 3 HDMI displays to a Mac Pro.  I am using a HDMI to thunderbolt adaptor and can only get 2 of the 3 displays to work.
    Does anyone know of a work around.
    Is there a systems configuration varaible for type of display?

    USB video adapters can severely limit graphics performance.  Use ACTIVE HDMI adapters instead.

    How do you connect a lexmark x6570 printer to an iMac wirelessly?  The basic user manuals are not helpful as the printer is not showing up when using the add printer function.  I my printer is working fine wirelessly with my windows laptop so it appears to be functioning fine.  This is my first time using an Apple at home...
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am using a Mac with this router. Any ideas how I can set it up to print wireless. Im not a tech person so this gets confusing for me sometimes. 
    Thanks!

  • How do you connect a 1.33 Gz Powerbook G4 12" to the iMac 17" Intel

    Ian,
    there are several ways to 'take' that question : I'm not exactly sure what you actually want to do.. however, the previous post gave some good advice - go to Help and search on 'sharing'. ITMT, There are a half-dozen easy ways to connect the two. Here are a couple :
    Connect via ethernet (or firewire for real speed!) - if you use ethernet and have a hub or switch you can simply add your new computer to your network and set up the networking (there are several ways to do this, covered under 'Network' in Help - I just manually give all my computers - Macs and Wintels - their own IP numbers in the 192.168.0.X range, where X is a different unused number - then I know that say 192.168.0.10, & 12 are Wintels, 20 is a G3, 30 is a G4, 192.168.0.1 is my Switch/Router to which the Cable modem is connected etc.. You should make sure your Windows Box has a different IP, too)
    Then go to system prefs->Sharing on each Mac and enable the sharing options you want : say file and printer sharing, windows sharing. From your new iMac this will let you choose Go -> 'Connect to server' from the finder main menu, connect and 'add' the drives you wish to have access to (you can 'Browse the Network' for the right Machine - say your Powerbook's Disk Drives. They'll now Mount and appear on the iMac desktop.
    To Top that:-
    A really cool additional way (one I use all the time) is to turn on ' Apple Remote Desktop' on your Powerbook and choose a computername and password...
    Then, grab one of the many free VNC clients (google for them - I use 'Chicken of the VNC' - but there are quite a few).
    Run the VNC Client on your iMac, choose 'New Connection', type the IP (or network name) of your Powerbook, add the password and hit 'Connect'. A Large window will now open containing a complete copy of your PB Screen and give you complete control over it via Mouse and keyboard - just as if you were sitting in front of it. You can run almost anything you like - Browse, grab email, run word processing or database stuff, create/burn Disk images, do Disk Util/first aid runs etc.. You can minimise this window at any time - everything will keep right on running & it'll just sit in the dock ready for you whenever you need to go back [you can do exactly the same to your windows machine - just run a free VNC server on IT... run another VNC client Connection on your iMac and the same will happen - a complete copy of your windows screen, complete control over mouse & Keyboard, run applications etc ... minimise whenever and it'll just sit in the dock].
    When those VNC windows are minimised/hidden, you're back to controlling your iMac and have access to any Shared drives etc that you've connected to (via GO->Connect to Server etc...) and can move files around from one place (Drive & Computer) to another as required
    When you want to go back and control the PB for a while just DBL-Click the minimised icon in the Dock, back comes the window and you're back controlling the PB again - Switch to Control Windows .. back to iMac... and so on - all without moving from your Comfy chair in front of your iMac - It's an amazing tool.
    Search a few of the higher Forums on 'Networking', 'VNC', 'Sharing' 'sharing with windows' (and do the same in Help) and you'll find plenty of detailed answers.
    - And/Or, post back here if you have trouble.
    Best wishes,

  • How do i connect an external tape cassette to a iMac to record music

    the new iMac only come with a headphone jack - line out connection  there is not a line -in connection.
    how can I connect a tape cassette recorder to the iMac and copy some of my old cassettes to itunews?

    You could try iMic:
    http://store.griffintechnology.com/catalog/product/view/id/623/s/imic/category/1 64/
    I've been using it for years. You will also need an audio app that will allow recording - I use Sound Studio, but check the app store for others.

  • Dear Community, how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ? Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ? Cheers, Marek

    Dear Community,
    how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
    Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
    Cheers, Marek

    Thanks Jan.
    Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
    I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
    Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
    Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
    My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....
    Best regards,
    Marek

  • How do you connect wirelessly to a Samsung smart tv?

    how do you connect wirelessly to a Samsung smart tv?

    If your're running 10.5.8 your MacBook is likely earlier than a 2009 model so you'd need a Mini-DVI adapter unless it's a model 5,1. We need to know which model you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI.
    You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV for VGA, DVI or Composite. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
    If you connect the MacBook using a MiniDVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a stereo system for audio. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
    P.S. Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.

  • I would like to use my IMAC (early 2006) as a monitor for my macbook pro. Is it possible?

    Is it possible to use as a monitor for a macbook pro an IMAC (early 2006)?

    There's no direct input, but ScreenRecycler and Air Display both allow you to use any networked computer as additional display. I haven't tried either but perhaps one of them would work for you.

  • **New iMac (early 2006) forum now available

    Hey all,
    There is now officially a forum for all topics, questions, etc, about the new iMac, with the Intel Core Duo chip, that was released today. **Please post all question there, as this forum is for the iMac with the IBM PowerPC G5 processor.**
    Edit, I suppose a link would help iMac (early 2006) Forums.
    Kyle-

    Thanks for your encouraging report. I want both my computers (and the iPhone) to sync together via iCloud. Today I am syncing activities by using a Google Calendar and subscribing to it from each device. This is a one-to-many sync. Not a "all-to-all sync". Mail is OK thanks to imap. But Apple's vision promised more. Since my post I called Apple Support. They told it is not yet known how iCloud sync will work. So my worries cannot be resolved until this is published.

  • How can I connect my MBA 11" 2012  to my Imac 21.5" mid 2010 as a display unit. Connected using a mini display port cable and this did not work. Any guidance welcome. Thanks. John

    I bought a belkin mini display unit cable( new) and connected the thunderbolt port in the MBA ( 11" , mid 2012) to the Imac mini display unit port using this cable. Pressed the CMD & F2 keys on the Imac keyboard as required but this did not work. Should I try with another cable ? Should i try with a thunderbolt cable ( recommended by appple support ) -- but they too were not sure about this. Is the Mid 2010 21.5" Imac not able to function as an display unit? Any guidance would help and will be much appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only the 27-inch iMac and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs can be used as an external screen, so you can't use your Mac as an external screen. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    You can still use your iMac as an external display, using an application like ScreenRecycler
