I have an 06 iMac can I use that with a new iMac mini?

My iMac is from 06 I can't afford a brand new one at this time but I can get a mini and my friend says all you need is a monitor. I was wondering if that could be hooked into the current iMac I have or if I'll have to specifically get a new monitor and not the thunderbolt one, obviously I can't afford that either if I'm just getting the mini cause I can't completely upgrade. Is this possible? Or will I have to look into getting a monitor as well?

Okay thank you that helped me, still it would be far less than getting a new one, I have friends who are geeks who could loan me a monitor til I get one LoL.

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

    I have a i phone and my partner have a samsung .. can i use facetime with her if she not using iphone

    No. Facetime is exclusive to iOS devices and Macs. There is no android version. You would have to use a 3rd party app/service like Skype.

    QT Pro- have valid reg# for Mac, cant use it with my new PC
    gets "Invalid registration" error upon entering the reg code...
    Im typing it in the QT control panel on my Windows XP workstation exactly as it appears on my MBP. Am I required to purchase a second license just to use it on a PC ?

    thanks for your input. I did some hunting around and eventually discovered that one can buy a QTP for Windows license on the Apple Store $29.99 at the time of this writing. Its clear now that the license code for QTP/Mac will not work for QTP/Win or vice versa. Who woulda thunk it ?
    But now we know...

  • I have an iPhone 4S Can I use it with any prepaid service?

    I am a Verizon customer.  Originally I got an iPhone 4S with Verizon and was mailed my phone.  I activated it on the Verizon network.  However, after a year this phone broke and I had to get a new one.  Verizon did not help with this and I went directly through Apple Warranty.  This phone was shipped to me and I activated it on the Verizon network.  Since this phone was from Apple am I able to use it with and prepaid service if i was to leave Verizon?  I imagine I would....

    StraightTalk does not support the use of unlocked GSM iPhones on their network. StraightTalk is a supported CDMA iPhone carrier. Use of an unlocked GSM iPhone on their network is not supported either by them or by Apple.
    I'm not saying it won't work at all, I'm saying if you decide to try, you'll have to work out any issues with them.
    Now... keep in mind that StraightTalk is owned by Walmart... That's the level of support you can expect to get...

  • HT1212 I have a new computer and I forgot the passcode to my iPod and I want to reset the whole thing how can i do that with a new computer?

    Someone please help!!
    I had an old crap laptop that wasn't apple and I used that for the past 2 years to sync my iPod but I have got rid of that and now I have an iMac. I have forgotton the 4 number digit passcode to my ipod and I have tried about 25 different combinations and I still cant get it right, so I just came to the conclusion that I have to reset the whole thing. I couldn't do it on my old laptop because it would keep running out of memory and I cant get it to connect to my new pc.
    Can someone please guide me through on how to connect it up to something to reset it. Thanks

  • I have the old Creative suite CS, can I use it with my new IMAC?

    My new computer doesnt have a CD drive and I need to use my old Creative suite on it. How do I do so?

    If it's the original CS version of the Creative Suite then, no, it's too old. That ran on PPC-based Macs.
    Your new Mac is Intel-based and will not run PPC-based software.

  • I have a self powered Sony Microphone, with a miniature output connector. How can I use it with my New IPad?

    I have a self powered Sony Stereo mike, with a miniature output jack that  will fit into the iPad (new) audio jack. Is there a way to safely connect this microphone to my iPad?

    Yes, you can continue to use iPhoto.  In fact, photo stream on your Mac is integrated with iPhoto.  However, you will need iPhoto '11, 9.2.2 or higher in order to use photo stream on your Mac.

  • Can i use itunes with my new Samsung tablet. i have an ipod mini (i know its old!) and we got rid of our computer in favour for the tablet but now i don't know how to download more songs!!??

    How can i connect my ipod mini to my new Samsung tablet?

    No, there is not iTunes for Android.  Actually, even if you had an iPad, there would be no way to sync an old iPod with it.  You need a computer (either a Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes to sync an iPod mini.

  • Have an iTunes account w/email addr I no longer have access to... how in the world can i combine that with my new Apple account

    I have had an iPod Nano for several years and had an iTunes account.  I no longer have access to the email address connected to that account.  I just bought an iPhone4s and set up a new account with my current email address as user id.  How can i get these 2 accounts combined so I can sync music from my iPod to my iPhone?  

    You cannot combine accounts at all.
    Why did you create a new one?
    Just change the e-mail address associated with the old one.

  • I liked to create a playlist, send it to my iPod and listen at night. Can't do that with the new iTunes. Right?

    I used to create a podcast playlist, download it to an ipod and then listen to it at night. Not any more. Major loss for me.

    iCloud only has content purchased (or free) from iTunes. Ripped music or music from other sources is only on your computer. As the iPhone can only sync with one computer at a time you should copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to the new one. It's in the Music folder on the old one, just copy the entire folder to the Music on the new computer. When you first sync your iPhone content will be replaced by the content of the new computer.
    You can optionally enable iTunes Match. This searches the non-iTunes content in iTunes or on your iPhone and finds the original digital version on the Internet if it exists. This then becomes your backup. If you have music that it cannot find it will upload it to your cloud storage, but you may have to pay for the storage if it is over 5 GB total (along with your backup). iTunes content and Match content are not included in the 5 GB free limit.
    Usually to fix mail issues just delete the account, reset (reboot) the phone by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears, and adding the email account(s) back.
