HT3913 how do i add a second monitor to a late 2009 iMac 27"

I would like to know how to add a second monitor to my late 2009 iMac 27". Has anyone already performed this and if so how?

Depends on the monitor, many support more than one connection.
Also note that: VGA is analog, DVI is digital and HDMI is full HDMI technology. 
For a VGA supported monitor, you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor and a VGA cable.
For a DVI supported monitor under 24", you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor and a DVI cable.
For a DVI supported monitor over 24" you will need a > Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
For a HDMI supported monitor, you will need a > Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and a HDMI cable.

  • Is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac

    Hi
    is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac
    or is there another solution?
    all i want to know is if i can run a second monitor or link a mac mini for more speed like i heard you can with the G5 Towers.

    The iMac will allow you to connect a second monitor but that monitor will show the same thing as the iMac's built-in screen.
    You can network a Mac mini and iMac via Ethernet or Firewire.
    Software load sharing like Xgrid can allow you to share work between the Macs.

  • How do I add a second monitor to an HP Pavilion M8200N

    When I look at the ports in the back there is only one VGA port but no DVI port. There are about 4 USB ports one 1394 style port and an RCA video and audio jack labeled Input ( there is also a set on the front also showing as input) . Can any of these be used to add a second monitor. There is also a jack that looks like its for a telephone in green. and some various audio output jacks. As of now I havn't purchased a second monitor due to needing to know what ports it should have to connect with this computer. If it can't be done I will save my money.

    Hi,
    Based on the following link, you don't have any choice w/o spending more money to add more hardware:

    To be honest, I would not spend more money to this machine, this may end up cost more money than to buy a new machine (w/o monitors - assuming you already have 2 monitors).
    Regards.

  • How do i add a second display desktop to my macbok

    How do I add a second display (desktop) to my macbook pro so when I swipe, there are three screen options, the one for widgets, the main one and then another desktop?

    Here are the specs for your Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model supports one VGA output via nVidia GeForce 6150SE onboard integrated graphics. This model also has a PCIe x16 graphics card expansion slot which will accept a PCIe x16 graphics card. According to the specs, installing a discrete graphics card in the PCIe x16 slot will disable the onboard integrated graphics.
    The graphics card you purchase must support both monitors you wish to use with your computer. Additionally, most retail graphics cards require a 300 watt or greater system power supply. Currently , your computer has a 250 watt power supply and it will need to be replaced. Please consider the Corsair CX430, CX500, or CX600 series of power supplies to meet the new graphics card power requirements.
    Alternatively, if this is mostly for word docs, spreadsheets, day trading and light video, you may wish to consider a USB-to-video adapter such as the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or one of the many other adapters on the market.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini

    How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.

    True ... but that can be tricky.
    Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
    Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
    There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
    Alternately ...
    Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed.

  • How do i add a second itunes account on same email

    How do i add a second itunes account on the same email address?

    Create a new AppleID (or use a different one if you are already doing so), then sign onto the iTunes Store that way and set up payment etc.
    There's many other aspects to this question, including if you want this all to go to the same library, the same user account on the computer, etc.
    Warning: For the purposes of redownloading items (make sure you understand redownload vs. first time download) you can only change primary AppleID associated with a computer every 90 days.  For other things such as buying new items there is no restriction.
    Items purchase under one account cannot be transferred to another.  you will still always have to use the old ID for any purchase you made under that ID.

  • I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in.  How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out.  I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

    I am using photos in Motion 5.  I add a camera and make my photo slide in.  How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out?  I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.  When I am trying to do this  I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
    Thanks

    Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

  • How do i add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2.2

    How do I add a second page to a document in Pages 5.2?

    Hello jeddi17,
    You can insert a page break with the Insert (menu) > Page Break.
    Note if your typing overflows the first page, then a new page is automatically created.
    Pages for Mac 5.0: Change the flow of text
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15334
    Force text to the next line or page
    A line break, also called a soft return, starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. A page break moves the next line of text to the top of the next page.
    Click where you want the break to occur.
    Do one of the following:
    For a line break: Press Shift-Return. 
    For a page break: Click Insert in the toolbar, then choose Page Break.                                
    Take care,

  • How do I add a second computer to my account?

    How do I add a second computer to my account?

    Your single license allows you to have two active installations, meaning you can have it installed and enabled on two machines.  You can have the software installed on as many machines as you like, but only two of them can be in an activated state at a given time.
    As far as using the two machines at the same time goes, the jury is currently out on that - I had the question in for clarification but did not get a response yet.  They recently rewrote the license agreement and the portion that explicitly stated you cannot use the two at the same time was either removed or relocated somewhere else that I have yet to find.
    If you mean that you want to have another machine licensed for someone else to use then you need to buy a new license for that other person.
