  • Using 27'' iMac (2012) as extended monitor for MacBook Air (2012)?

    Hi all, I'm trying to find a solution how to use my iMac as the extended monitor for my MacBook Air. I saw the video on YouTube >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bVOssjlsGY << but I am not sure if it is real or fake. I have checked the forums here and other sources, but I haven’t seen any official statement about the possibility to use thunderbolt cable for this purpose. Do you have any experiences with that? Or can you advice please?

    Yes, you can use the 27" as a monitor with Target display mode.  Just attach the two with a Thunderbolt cable and press Command F2 on the iMac.  It will become a secondary monitor for the MBair.

  • How can i use ONE server 2012 to be DC for a domain on the WAN only.. NO LAN. and NO VPN..

    I need to run an active directory that is on a WAN (Utah). a server 2012 standard will be the DC with 60Mbps internet speed both up and downstream.
    approximately 100 clients/member systems will be all over the united states. NO VPN. only via internet. I can use SSL certificate for secure ldap.
    I need this setup to use GPO for different permissions and policies instead of manually doing those on each windows 7 or 8 professional system.
    Ideas??

    Daniel,
    I think since this will be the ONLY system that will be running as a DC providing ADDS and the Direct access server, i should follow this advice from the article you sent:
    For users who never connect directly to the Contoso intranet or through a VPN, they must use the DirectAccess
    Offline Domain Join process to initially join the appropriate domain and configure DirectAccess. When this process
    is complete, the users log on normally and have the same experience as if they were directly connected to the Contoso intranet.
    Because remember, no user will ever connect directly to the subnet where the server is. so do an offline join First and then start managing.. Only thing im worried about is: they keep saying that the direct access function has significantly improved in windows
    8. hmmmmm many systems will be using windows 7 Pro 64Bit. Some windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. should i worry?

  • Can i use my imac as second monitor for my  pc / notebook

    Can i use my imac as second monitor for my  pc / notebook

    Without any knowledge of the year machines you have it's impossible to answer that question. iMacs adn MBA's have been around for many years now so we have no idea of the exact specs your machine have. Remember when posting you need to be complete and paint a picture for us as we aren't there to look for ourselves. Your question should be  posted something like:
    " I have a 2011 27" iMac and a 2009 MacBook Air, can I use the iMac as an external display for my MacBook Air?"
    BTW what you are referring to is called Target Display Mode. Apple does support that on some 2009-2011 iMacs. You can find additional information at:

  • IMac (2010) as external screen for Macbook Pro (2012)

    I've been googling this for a few hours now and have only walked into walls.
    My 21,5" iMac only has a FireWire, Mini DisplayPort and several USB ports and has the newest up to date software but is from mid 2010.
    My 13" Macbook Pro only has a FireWire, Thunderbolt and several USB ports and has the newest up to date software but is from mid 2012.
    It would be very interesting and useful for me to be able to use my iMac as an extra screen for my Macbook Pro, as all I do is video editing, photo editing, video grading etc.
    All help or suggestions is welcome! Thank you!

    In addition to Niel's post, this article might help you out. What you're looking to do is called "Target Display Mode." I would make sure to especially check the "requirements" section to make sure that your model will work for this.

  • How can I use my rMBP as a secondary display for my iMac using thunderbolt?

    Based on this thread, it's not possible: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19207767
    But, I'm stubborn and refuse to believe that. Maybe they've released a software update (e.g., in Mountain Lion) that has since made this possible? Maybe there is an app that allows for this?
    Note that I don't want a solution that involves network hacks... this is at work, and I'd rather not slow down the network for others. And I'm not interested in the reverse setup (i.e., using my iMac as a secondary display for my rMBP).
    iMac: 27-inch, Late 2012. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB. OS X 10.8.4.
    rMBP: Retina, Mid 2012 (15" I think). NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. OS X 10.8.4.

    It's not possible. You can use the iMac as a display for the MBP,  but the reverse is not possible. The MBP does not have Target Display Mode as a feature and no third-party app nor hack can enable something that doesn't exist. The only way to accomplish this will be one of the network solutions.

  • Can I use my iMac Install Disc on Macbook Pro?

    Hi, all.  I was given a friend's old Macbook Pro and I'd like to put Boot Camp on it, but the Boot Camp instructions say I need an OSX Leopard install disc to do it.  Naturally, I just recently purged my own software binder and threw away all of my OSX discs except the one that came with iMac I recently purchased.  "Why would I need them any more?" said I.  Doh.
    I have no idea what cat Apple is up to now, but the Macbook is running 10.5.8 and the install disc from my iMac is 10.6.7.  My questions:
    1) Can I use my iMac install disc on my Macbook Pro, which is about 3-4 years old?
    2) Does OS 10.6.7 qualify as Leopard?  If not, will it work for what I'm trying to do?
    3) Do I need to update the Macbook OS to 10.6.7 to be able to use that disc for the Boot Camp install?
    Any information or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    The only thing I'd add to this is that at one point in time you could go to an Apple store and purchase Lion on a USB stick.
    If your MBP was compatible and you could find one of those you could boot to it, install from it then setup bootcamp.
    Also if you are thinking bootcamp, also consider VMWare Fusion or Parallels which allow you to run Windows while still in OS X.

  • Can I use my iMac as a display for a G5 - New Mac User

    I am still a fairly new iMac user, I would like to know if I can use my exsisting iMac with someones elses G5, and use my iMac as a screen display for his G5. Im sorry if this topic does not belong in this forum, I did try searching thru other forums to post and read up on this info.
    Please direct me to the right place, or answer my question. Thanks in advance.

    Here's the scoop, if you want to use any iMac as an external display for a G5 Mac you have these options.
    1. Target Disk Mode, only available on iMacs with Firewire:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58207
    This only gives you access to the data files of that Mac and basically treats it as an external hard disk.
    2. Networking via ethernet, wireless, or Firewire, you can setup Virtual Network Computing or Remote Desktop:
    http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?keywords=VNC&os=macosx
    http://www.macupdate.com/search.php?os=macosx&keywords=remote+desktop
    3. As others have suggested, somehow to remove the VGA cable from the logicboard of the iMac and connect it to the Mac externally.
    The external VGA port of iMacs only display what is on the Mac itself and as far I know can't be used in a reverse signal application.
