I want to have a third display for my rMBP, I have HDMI to my monitor; Can I have Thunderbolt to HDMI, to hook up to a TV?

As the title says, is it possible?

Yes.

Hi,
Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.

How do I get my money refunded? I am not getting what I want from this, cannot email anyone for help, cannot get someone on the phone I can understand, and keep getting disconnected. I just want my money back.

Display for a SUNFire V880 flickers with a VGA monitor

Hi,
I have a SunFire V880 which has been connected to a rack-mounted HP VGA monitor via an Avocent KVM for some years now.
Recently, I found the display for server flickers non-stop, making it impossible to view.
I have tried connecting it to other VGA monitors with the same results.
Only when I connect it to a SUN monitor, did it display just fine.
Could anyone advice on how I can get it to display on a VGA monitor again?
Many Thanks!

Ok, I'll bite ...
You provided no useful information as to the actual configuration,
It would have helped to mention whether the monitor was in the same rack as the V880.
(that would inform us as to length of cabling)
It would have helped to note which frame buffer was in the computer.
(that informs us of its capabilities)
It would have helped to describe the current video settings.
but ...
Does the original display work if you eliminate the KVM from the lash-up
and directly attach the screen to the V880?
If yes, then the KVM is the root cause.
If no, then find the refresh rate settings of the current output signal
and change them to be compatible to whatever those non-Sun monitors need.

Planning on using an external display for my rMBP in college but...

Wouldn't that waste the retina function? I'm going off to college soon and would like an external monitor for my dorm. However, I'm also deciding between the Air and Pro and if I use an external monitor for either, the retina/non-retina screen would be totally invalid when I have it plugged in. Should I just skip the retina and go for the Air's portability or is retina still worth it? I will still be bringing it with me to classes and such, but I just feel like I won't be getting the bang for the buck if I go for the rMBP instead of the Air.
P.S. I'm looking at the 8gb RAM and 256gb storage
Thanks for the input!

You have to decide for yourself what is worth it for you. How would we know. I personally would opt for the MBP, but others would not. I would base the decision on the computing power of each. This is especially important for some courses of study.

Want to use 30" Apple display for HD TV... is possible?

Want to get a 30" Apple Moniter to use with G4... iMovie, presentations, etc... and then use as HD TV (we don't watch TV... just DVD's and VCR's.) Do I have to use computer to watch DVD's or can I get a peripheral DVD player/ DVD recorder combination... patch into stereo. Instead of getting a HD LCD TV, would rather get monitor and use for both. Has anyone done this? Is this possible?
Thanks for any help....

Thanks you guys... ok, so forget the HD TV idea... I like the big monitor... if I used the Gefen player... is there anyway to get a VCR player to run through it to the Monitor. The idea here... is we don't watch broadcast TV... just dvd's and vcr tapes... have a lot of vcr tapes. Is that possible? Any other solutions I'm not aware of? Or should I just get a off the shelf LCD TV from Costco? Thanks for helping me here.

I want to change the file location for the automatic backup file bookmarks.file, but I can't find browser.bookmarks.file in the list on the about:config page.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.

The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

So i redeemed an itunes card and it doesnt let me donwload what i want to download. it asks me for my security questions but i forgot the answers can you help me on what to do please?

From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds. Can I change that?

I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The watch face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds, which won't work. Can I change that?

I am glad that bbqdevil's *workaround* will "do the trick"
Did you give the Timer idea a try yet? It seems to me that you are really needing to know when a certain amount of time has elapsed rather than *time how long you have being taking a reading*. Will you always have your hand free to tap the Watch? If so, why would you need the StopWatch going? - just look again at the sweep second hand on the clock.
It still remains that one should be able to set the time elapsed before sleep on a Chronograph w/ sweep second WatchFace though. I have searched and searched, to no avail.
I would suggest Siri, but it seems like many issues with Siri are ongoing and might just add another problem to the mix.
If I were you, I would Call Apple Support. It is sometimes tricky to get that option in the "breadcrumb" process Apple has instituted, but I was able to test the process before suggesting this:
Click/Tap > https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Choose Apple Watch
Choose "Setup & Usage..."
Choose "The topic is not listed"
Enter "set sleep duration" > [Continue]
(I know this in not exactly right, but the point is to be vague)
Pick your poison - I would ONLY choose to talk with them on the phone
Rehearse an "elevator pitch" statement* for the Specialist that you get AND when you get no satisfaction (likely) ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR
I have NEVER gotten an answer from a Level 1 Specialist - they are reading from a Knowledge Base not unlike all the resources available to us online
I have ALWAYS gotten satisfaction from a Senior Specialist (sometimes pretty high up the chain - but always)
Here's a sample "elevator pitch" that I actually sent as Feedback on the Apple Watch User Guide page
I need to change the duration 'before' the Watch goes to sleep while observing the Chronograph Watch Face.
I am a healthcare provider. I need to use my Watch to assist me in taking vital signs. On a normal watch, I would start counting pulses or respirations at a 15 second interval on the Analog Chronograph sweep second hand > stop counting at the next 15 sec. interval > multiply X 4 to get rate/minute.
The Watch goes to sleep after SEVEN (7) seconds !! Therefore I cannot see when 15 seconds has elapsed. I use both hands regularly in the procedure, so touching the Watch is not an option - or 'raise the Watch' to my viewing position.
I, and others in the ASC forum have searched for a Setting for the before sleep duration in vain.
Let us know what you decide.

TS1367 Is there are a way to use my imac as a display for my macbook pro? I have a thunderbolt cable but it doesnt seem to do anything

Is there are a way to use my imac as a display for my macbook pro? I have a thunderbolt cable but it doesnt seem to do anything

Hello eassic,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like Target Display Mode may be what you are looking for:
Target Display Mode lets you use a Mac as the external display for another “primary” Mac. In some cases, you can also play the sound from your primary Mac on the speakers of the external Mac. For example, a MacBook Pro could use a 27-inch iMac as the display and play its audio on the iMac as well.
OS X Mountain Lion: Use another Mac as a display
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
Use an iMac with Thunderbolt as a display
If you have an iMac with Thunderbolt, any other Mac with Thunderbolt can use it as a display. The iMac will play both the video and audio from the other Mac.
1. Connect the Thunderbolt cable to the Thunderbolt ports on each computer.
2. Make sure both Mac computers are turned on and awake.
3. Press Command (⌘)-F2 on the keyboard of the external display Mac.
4. If you want the external display Mac to play audio as well as video from the primary Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, and then click Output. Select the external display Mac from the list of devices.
Thanks,
Matt M.

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.
Regards.

Adding a Sharp Aquos 51" as a third display

Hi all. I am running a prepress department and we just purchased a 51" Sharp Aquos TV for a third display for customers to view our Illustrator files when they come in. I have a couple questions about this.
1) We have Mac Pros with two monitors running off the ATI card. Can we get another card for the TV and what connectors would we need to get it going as soon as possible?
2) What else can we run on this third monitor (DVDs, iDVD movies/Final Cut Express movies)?
All help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Jason

1) You can purchase an additional ATi X1900 XT for the MP you want to connect the TV to. All of the cables required will be in the box (assuming you buy an Apple MP version). You could buy an Nvidia 7300 GT although mismatching cards is not recommended by Apple.
To try it you can always rip out the ATi card from another MP and bang it in. Be aware that you will need to modify the PCIe bandwidth configuration and you MUST use Slot 2. This is the only other slot that can handle the power requirements of the X1900 XT.
2) You can display anything you would otherwise be able to on any other display. It'll just be another display.

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time?

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time? Or even add a "video slide" into the screensaver?
My business has 3 TVs displayed in our lobby, each with its own apple TV and they are all linked to the same photo stream. Currently the Atv screensaver displays the photostream pictures of our products for the default 3 seconds. We just added pics/slides that now display messages and useful info for our customers but I want that info to be displayed for a longer period of time than the pictures to give people a chance to read it.
I tried using flickr and powerpoint as a work around but no luck. I created a slide in powerpoint with play length of 15 secs and saved it as a wmv file. I added that file to a "screensaver" set in flickr and pointed the Atv screensaver to that flickr set. It still displays everything, pics and the wmv file at the default 3 sec.
I know I can increase the duration of all pics in the screensaver to display for longer but the goal is to have the pics display at 3 secs and the info slides to display at 15 secs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not possible.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here

How can I use my TV as a display for FaceTime and the camera of my MacBook when connecting it to the TV via HDMI?

I can connect my MacBook to my TV via HDMI and when I FaceTime everything works normally except I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. Closing the lid is not an option since I am using the MacBook's camera to FaceTime. Is there any way to achieve this?

Shivneet wrote: ... I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. ... Is there any way to achieve this?
Not that I could find.
The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.
