How to add a monitor to an iMac 20 inch

How to add an extra monitor with VGA connector to an iMac 20 inch ( model 7,1)
Wich adaptaer cable do I need?
What are the set ups I have to go through?

The Mid 2007 iMac 7,1 has a Mini DVI output port.
To connect a VGA only monitor, then you will need a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA cable.

However check the monitor closely, because if it also has a DVI connection then would be better to use the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.

How to add a SSD to 2010 iMac with 1tb drive

How to add a SSD to 2010 iMac with 1tb drive? I have a mid-2010 iMac with 1tb HD and would like to either replace the HD with SSD -or- add 256 or 400gb SSD to maybe the Optical Drive and use it as the boot drive. Is this possible with Model 11,2? i thought i\I'd read it was, but recently am reading my system is too old - OWC have SSD drives for newer models not Model 11,1 -or- 11,2

Any SATA SSD will work, whatever you are reading is incorrect.
You have 2 choices with this model-install the SSD in place of the HDD or the Superdrive.
If you are installing in place of Superdrive you will need some form of SSD Caddy-these can be found on the cheap at places like eBay, also OWC sell one called the DataDoubler.

If installing in place of old HDD you will notice that the propietary Temperature Sensor will not fit on the new drive, you will need to replace this with a sensor such as this or this
You will also need a 3.5inch to 2.5inch drive adaptor such as this

If you still have doubts contact OWC as mentioned above, I would start deciding whether your Superdive is needed or if you want to swap out the HDD.
Hope this points you in the right direction

Idea Center B520 - how to add second monitor?

I want to add a second monitor to my B520, but the only monitors I have connect with a DVI cable. I don't see a DVI plug anywhere on the B520. Is there a way? If not, if I buy a monitor with HDMI connections, can I connect it to my B520 using HDMI? My B520 is 3D and touch screen. Thanks in advance. New to the all-in-one world.

I have my B520 connected to my 42" Monitor via a HDMI cable
Go to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Screen Resolution, and then choose 'Detect'. (It is my understanding, you need to make the B520 your 'main display', or you can not use Touch on the B520)
You will also need to set your Monitor Source to 'HDMI' (My old PC is still connected to my Monitor via Source 'DVI'. It allows me to use my old PC, and new B520, on the same Monitor; by just changing the Source)
As for connecting the B520 to an external Monitor that does not have HDMI Input ... there are cables, and adaptors, that you buy to convert HDMI to DVI (or whatever). Once you have the converter, then choose the applicable Source on you Monitor.

How to add Activity Monitor to top Toolbar

The last step of most workflows is to Export. By that time, I grow a little tired and impatient. It takes time if you are exporting dozens of versions.
How can I configure Aperture with the a button for Activity Monitor at the top?

O.k., go to the "View" menu and use the command "Customize Toolbar".
Drag an "Activity" icon to the Toolbar. Sorry, I missed it the first time I searched the "Customize Toolbar" menu.

Hi Graham,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information which can help you setup your wireless printer so that it can be used with your iMac.

How do I connect another monitor to my iMac?

Thanks,

How to add a third monitor to 21.5inch iMac

Hi all, this is my first post.
I have just ditched my PC & purchased a 21.5 inch iMac. (I totally love it) I use to have two 19 inch Dell monitors hooked up to mt PC, I have purchased a mini display to VGA adapter & connected one of my Dell monitors & it's works fine. I would really love to add my other spare monitor to my iMac but I only have one thunderbolt port!!!!!!! I'm quite new to the world of Mac & I'm not sure how to do this or is this even possible????? I have seen USB to VGA video adapters on the Internet but not sure if this will work???? I'm running the latest mountain lion software. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated :)

You really should have gotten a 27" iMac to do that. I don't think what you're attempting is possible on a 21.5" unless you get two Thunderbolt displays and daisy chain them, expensive however possible.

How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

When I had a PC I simply took the wire going to my monitor and connected to my big screen TV to watch Netflix movies...How do I take them from my IMAC and connect them to my TV now?

This could be problematic.
It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back. You will problably need a converter.
The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

How do I Add second monitor to ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port

How do I Add second monitor to my ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port the computer has Win 8 Model #: 23se-d494
Product #: F3D93AA#ABA
Serial #: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
Software Build #: 14AM1HRA601#SABA#DABA
Service ID #: 20140521
PCBRAND #: HP

Here are the specs for your HP ENVY TouchSmart 23se-d494 All-in-One Desktop Computer. Based the specs, the HDMI port on the side of your computer is an INPUT only. This model doesn't have a video output of any kind.
1 - Controls 2 - HDMI In port (model dependent)
You will need to purchase and use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 (or any of the many other adapters on the market) to connect an external display to your computer. I personally use and recommend the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite!

How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite?

Janet,
This is why the question rkaufmann87 asked about your model is so important:
[click chart to enlarge if needed]
The list covers the early iMacs with Intel processors that shipped with either OS 10.4 or 10.5 and have only two RAM slots. As you can see, some have limits to what version of OSX you can install. If the step rkaufmann requests does not narrow down your model, you can do one more thing.
While the "About this Mac" window is open, click the "More Info..." button at the bottom of that window to get this (assuming you are really running OS 10.5.8 as shown in your profile):
The code I've indicated with the red arrow corresponds to the codes in the second column on the chart. Post the code your computer reports--again don't post a serial number.
If your iMac shipped with only 1GB RAM, I fear it is one of the earliest models that cannot be upgraded all the way to Yosemite.

What instructions?
In the source list click devices (so far so good) then click the entry for your iphone or ipod. that doesn't exist. HELP asap
You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

I am considering a Apple iMac but would be interested in adding a second monitor. Does it have to be an Apple monitor or can i add any monitor with a thunderbolt cable and DVI or vGA adapter?

I found that the Thunderbolt input accepts the mini-DVI (in my case converter to VGA for a tutorial use monitor)
BUT, you have to really oush it in 'til it clicks. I thought it too loose until I tried it. works just fine!!
i get a solved for my own LOL
