How to use the iMac last generation as a display for a PC

Hello,
Can someone confirm if it's possible to use an iMac last generation as a display for a PC (Windows) and if, yes, which type of cable or accessory is required?
Thanks
Stephanie

Sorry, but you probably can't. The current and previous generation of iMac can only be used as displays with other Thunderbolt-equipped systems.

Only if your PC has a Thunderbolt port that supports video out would this be possible, and such systems are currently rather rare.
Regards.

To be able to use the iMac as an external display, the Mac Pro should come with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, so think that it will include Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, although we don't know anything.
To connect the iMac to the Mac Pro, as your iMac has got a Mini DisplayPort, you have to use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt cables). Then, just follow the steps of the page above to use the iMac as an external display

How to use the integrated ITS server in WAS6.40 for WEBGUI

Hi,
I am testing the Portal 6.0SP6 on WAS6.40SP7.
Using User Mapping, I am able to connect and call some transaction to R/3 System (4.6c) and the ITS servers for the R/3 system. If I am going to use webgui to call a transaction, do I need the ITS server at all? The reason I asked because I thought WAS6.40 came with an embedded ITS server.
If I can make use of the integrated ITS server, how do I configure the system connection?
Thanks,
Edmond wong

I have read the past posts, but I am still not clear... We are implementing mySAP ERP 2004. This will include ECC 5.0 and EP 6.2.
We currently have R/3 4.6C and EP5.5. From EP 5.5 I have users executing R/3 transactions directly from EP using the standard Master iView. This traffic goes via the ITS virtual instance for the R/3 system.
I am trying to decide if I need to setup a separate ITS to continue to do what we do now OR if the direct call of a transaction from EP6.2 using the SAP supplied Master iView can be accomplished using the Internal ITS on ECC 5.0. We do not have the DEV systems set up so I cannot test.
Any comments?
Thanks,

How to use the mirrored and log shipped secondary database for update or insert operations

Hi,
I am doing a DR Test where I need to test the mirrored and log shipped secondary database but without stopping the mirroring or log shipping procedures. Is there a way to get the data out of mirrored and log shipped database to another database for update
or insert operations?
Database snapshot can be used only for mirrored database but updates cannot be done. Also the secondary database of log shipping cannot used for database snapshot. Any ideas of how this can be implemented?
Thanks,
Preetha

Hmm in this case I think you need Merge Replication otherwise it breaks down the purpose of DR...again in that case..

How to use the same (selection) paths in multiple images for batch processing?

I have a whole bunch of photos I need to batch process, but, when creating an action for this, I stumbled upon the problem that the paths I selected with the pen tool, and saved under the "Paths" tab need to be in every image for to be used in the action. I did try to solve it for some time, but couldn't figure out. Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Carlos

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How to use the substring and can i class method for the primitive type

MY COMPILER
public class StringLine
public static void main(String[] args)
String sentence;
char letter;
char name;
int position;
System.out.println("Enter a line of text. No punctuation please");
sentence = MyIO.readLine();
System.out.println("I have rephrase that line to read:");
position = sentence.indexOf(" ");
name = sentence.charAt(postion, position+ 1);
name = name.toUpperCase();
letter = sentence.charAt(0);
letter = letter.toLowerCase();
sentence = name + sentence.substring(position + 2)
+ letter + sentence.substring(1, position);
//////////////// I got 3 errors following:
StringLine.java:16: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable postion
location: class StringLine
name = sentence.charAt(postion, position+ 1);
^
StringLine.java:17: char cannot be dereferenced
name = name.toUpperCase();
^
StringLine.java:20: char cannot be dereferenced
letter = letter.toLowerCase();
^
3 errors
}

position = sentence.indexOf(" ");
name = sentence.charAt(postion, position+ 1);
name = name.toUpperCase(); two error here:
1. as stated above postion is mispelled...should be position
2. you cannot perform a chatAT(int, int)
I think you want to perform a substring
String name; // should be a string instead of a char..(char is a primitive and all primitive have no method)
position = sentence.indexOf(" ");
name = sentence.substring(position, position + 1).toUpperCase();
[./code]
better yet..you should check if the sentence does contain a spaceString name;
position = sentence.indexOf(" "); // return a negative value if the search string is not part of the string
if (position != -1)
name = sentence.substring(position, position + 1).toUpperCase();
else
System.out.println("The sentence does not contain a space);
[./code]
String letter;
letter = new String(sentence.charAt(0));
letter = letter.toLowerCase();
// or
char letter;
letter = sentence.toLowercase().charAt(0);

Can I use the new Apple TV without a display for audio streaming only?

Here's my situation...
I have an Airport Express in my living room connected to my DSL modem to create a wifi network. I also have a current model MacBook Pro and would like to add an Apple TV to my bedroom system for music and Netflix audio streaming. I do not own a TV to do any setup.
If I bought an ATV for my bedroom and connected the optical output to my DAC, would I be able to accomplish my goal or is there a setup procedure on the ATV which mandates a display?
I realize I could just buy another Airport Express for easy audio streaming, but then I wouldn't have the Netflix audio capability which I would like since I watch movies on my MBP. I'm hoping like an Airport Express, the ATV would configure itself for audio streaming once connected to my wifi network.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

If you're planning to stream from iTunes to the AppleTV controlling the material via iTunes, I suspect it may just appear as an Airtunes speaker option for iTunes without any setup needed.
No Netflix in UK so don't know much about it, but I suspect you'd need to control the AppleTV directly for this unless you were viewing on the MBP and used something like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil to transmit audio.
If you have no desire for controlling AppleTV either on an TV or using Remote app for iPhone etc (and you'd need to set AppleTV up with a TV for Netflix or AppleTV controlled streaming anyway), you might want to consider using another Express upstairs and hook it's optical out to your DAC if you're just after stereo audio.

How Long Does the iMac's Battery Last

Hi. How long will the iMac's battery last if you use it 8 hours (how about for 16 hours) a day and shut it down when you go to bed.
Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

As long as you leave the machine plugged into a live power source, even when it has been turned off it will still draw a bit of power to maintain PRAM and the clock chip, and will not use the battery.
The battery is used only when there is no othe source of power available. And, it is not recharged in the iMac.

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.

How to use the second display for installation OS in my vertical lines iMac

My 17" iMac display is full of vertical lines, it is unuseable. Does anyone know how to use the second display for Mac OS X or disable the first display for installation Mac OS x ?

Go to: *System Preferences > Displays* and select the Arrangement tab, then relocate your Menu bar by dragging it to the other display.
Unfortunately there is no Hardware or Software switch to turn off the iMac's Internal Display.

The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6. Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.
You will be able to update ACR, Photoshop and Bridge right there, if there are in fact updates available.
