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

HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream. You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

Sounds like you bought the iPad secondhand and the previous owner did not remove it from his/her iCloud account.
If you are unable to contact the original owner, the iPad is (unfortunately) useless to you.

I want to use my Macbook Air 2011 as an external disk for my iMac 2011. I connected the two with a Thunderbolt cable and when starting the MacBook Air I pressed "T" and it worked except with Office documents. Can anybody help?

I want to use my MacBook Air as an external disk to my iMac. I talked to Apple care and we solved it by connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the two computers. I then turn on the MacBook Air while pressing the "T" and it works. I can sit and work on my iMac and grab/change/save the files that are in my MacBook Air EXCEPT for the Microsoft Office files. I called Microsoft and they can't solve it. They say it might be a problem with the Thunderbolt cable. Has anybody have this problem?
Both computers are 2011 and they both have Office 2011.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandra

For Word it says "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, /)"
For Excel it says "the file could not be found. Check te spelling of the filename, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure hat the file has not been renamed, moved or deleted.
I tried this with many different documents, and I always get the same message.

I'm new to Macbook Pro, and never imagined I would have problems saving bookmarks when I switched to Mac. Any suggestions with this issue? And has Apple come up with a permanent fix?

Triple-click the line below to select it:

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?

My ipad air will not charge when connected to any outlet with its own cable and plug.

I had this Ipad Air since March 2014 and always kept it updated and charged, but since three days ago it does not seems to like its own charging cable and plug that came with it. I tried different outlets and other cords and plugs. I closed and restarted it, but no result. Now it is off because of no battery power. What can it be?

Try the following:
Option 1
1. Settings>Airplane Mode>ON
2. Turn the iPad OFF
3. Leave unit off for about 20 seconds.
4. Turn the iPad back on and it should now show "charging"
5. Turn Aeroplane Mode OFF
Option 2
Reset iPad and when the apple logo shows up, plug in the charger.

Add any Video with a Video import and conversion system with choose skin

Would be great to have a drag and drop video system where Muse takes care of the required formats and resolution conversions for HTML5 and redundancy player for old browsers.
The current embedding system has massive downsides because lots of large blue chip companies block most video hosting sites like vimeo and Your Tube.
Also these sorts of embedded players can distract viewers off your page when they finnish with links to other videos.

You might want to try MPEG Streamclip (it's free) to convert the video; it is available here:

I can't comment on your 1.83 GHz/iMovie 09 dilemma except to guess it may work but would be excruciatingly slow (my 2.16 GHz is slow!).

Can I set up MF4770n with BOTH usb cable AND network cable to router?

My MF4770n is connected to desktop pc with usb cable. Can I also add the network cable to router capability so that my laptops can access the printer through my home network? Or, do I need to uninstall the printer and run setup all over? I know that I can just "share" the desktop printer. But I would like access to it when the desktop pc is asleep. Thanks.

It is possibile to have both. It is not the best. Pick one or the other.

Mini DVI to VGA Adapter w/ extension cable

I would like to get a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter for my macbook. Does anyone know how it would would if I used it with a VGA extension cable. Any experience will be helpful

Depends on how long the cable is, and if it was of sufficient quality for computer use. The higher resolutions require better quality and shorter cables. You may get some signal loss for long cables. A standard monitor cable that comes with a computer monitor should be fine, but what kind of length extension cable are you talking about?

Mini dvi to VGA adapter to HDMI cable

i have a mini dvi to vga adapter for my macbook (bought in 2007) and that works but I want to connect to hdmi cable to this? But don't exactly know how to do this or if it is possible?

It is my understanding that 'VGA' is analog and HDMI is digital....from what I have read it won't work without a convert
I use a Mini DVI to DVI adapter and then a DVI to HDMI adapter to run the HDMI cable to to TV
the converter...VGA to HDMI...

Personally I would shelf the VGA adapter and go with the new cable set up...if you already have the HDMI cable then an adapter from DVI to HDMI would be in order

I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

Hall Palm Desert,
if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

How do I connect Apple 20" Cinema Display to orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display. The display will run without it.

Does a DVI to VGA adapter, and a DVI to DVI adapted do the same job?

A DVI to VGA adapter provides a conversion from DVI to VGA.
A DVI to DVI adapter, what is that? If the input is DVI and the output is DVI, what is the need for an adapter?
Tell us what you are trying to accomplish.
