I want to use TV as a display on my iMac 2009.

I want to use TV as a display on my iMac 2009.
Is it possible?

There are two possibilities for high resolution with the new iMac;
The Apple or 3rd party mini-DisplayPort to DVI-D single-link adapter has a maximum supported resolution of 1920 x 1200. Use a DVI-D single-link to HDMI cable if you have HDMI ports on your TV.
The Apple or 3rd party mini-DisplayPort to DVI-D dual-link adapter has a maximum supported resolution of 2560 x 1600. Use a DVI-D dual-link to HDMI cable if you have HDMI ports on your TV.
The better cabling that you purchase the more bandwidth available for transmission and the less digital artifacts in your images. More expensive is not always better quality.

I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use..

I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use.

I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.

I want to use Time Machine to restore from one IMAC to a different IMAC. How do I do that?

I use Time Capsule to back up two different IMACs. I want to use the back up from machine A to restore machine B.
When I am on machine B I can't see the back up on machine A. How do I do this?

Look at Q16.
The whole 14-17 is good to read so you understand what you are doing.

I want to use Back to my Mac, but my iMac using wireless LAN will not wake from sleep

I've read a ton of posts, and it seems that others have similar problems.
Here are some details: I have a 2 year old iMac now running updated install of Yosemite. I have a brand new MBP running clean install of Yosemite.
I have a 2 year old AirPort Extreme connecting my home wireless LAN. How can I get my MBP to connect to my iMac using Back to my Mac once the iMac has gone to sleep. Back to my Mac works if all computers are active.
The appropriate energy saver selections have been made. Leaving the iMac awake is not an option.
it just doesn't seem to work. No wake on wireless LAN?
Help please

Someone else may come along and have an idea, but as far as I know the iMac shuts off wifi when asleep so it can't be used to wake up the Mac. It has to be a wired connection.
Leaving the iMac awake with the display off really doesn't use much energy so it might be worth considering.

Firefox on Linux wants to use notepad.exe to display a C source

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on two mostly identical i686 Linux systems (Crux 2.8). On system A, Firefox displays a local C source normally. On system B, it asks which external program it should use, and suggests notepad.exe (!!) as the default.
What on earth could make Firefox running on Linux think it is on a Windows system??
Neither re-installing Firefox nor moving my .mozilla directory changed this behaviour.

Ah yes, that's a useful extension.
Thanks!

I want to use the ethernet connection from my new iMac to my Time Capsule. It seems only the Wifi is seen by either device. Ive connected the Time Capsule to the iMac. How can I get the iMac to use the wired connection

I want to connect my iMac to my Time Capsule using Ethernet. I have them connected via an Ethernet cable, but only WiFi seems to be working. How can I specify the Ethernet connection instead of WiFi? Thanks
Welked

Go to preferences, network and see if ethernet is indicated. Be sure it shows a green dot. Also be sure it is at the top of the list (above WiFi). If not click on the the wheel at the bottom and set service order.

HT4951 Can i use a Thunder bolt display with an iMac from the mid 2009 ? Would it work if connected to a mini dvi port in a scaled down mode or is it compulsory to have a thunder bolt port ?

I have a mid 2009 iMac that doesn't have Thunderbolt display, but has a mini-dvi port.
Will the Thunderbolt cinema display 27" still work when connected to this mini-dvi port ?
I thought it would be better going for a thunderbolt display monitor rather than the older version, so when i upgrade my machine in the future it stays compatible.

I have a mid 2009 iMac that doesn't have Thunderbolt display, but has a mini-dvi port.
Will the Thunderbolt cinema display 27" still work when connected to this mini-dvi port ?
No. A TB display can only be connected to a TB source.
Confusing Mini DisplayPort with Thunderbolt
As indicated in that artical a displayport device can be connected to a TB source. But that is not your situation.

Want to use 20" Cinema (Alu) on MacBook. Can i hotplug it ?

I want to use my 20" Cinema Display (Alu) with my black MacBook.
I use the mini-DVI to DVI adapter. Can i plug in the Display while the Mac is running (and the Display too) or do i have to switch off both befor connecting them ?
I dont want a answer like "yes i always do this and nothing is broken so far". I want to know if it is specified by Apple this way. Because i dont want to break the MacBook after connected it 100 times while running and then it dies and the warranty is over.
Thanks Marco

If you want to know the official Apple way, you should search Apple's official Knowledge Base.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303236
The reason you get "Yes I always do this and nothing broken so far" type responses in this forum is because most of us are not offical Apple employees, and can only give our advice based on our experiences.

How can I find my serial number for Adobe Acrobat 11. I got a new iMac and I don't want to use the new version at £18.00 per month. I don't need it. Thank you

I want to use facetime but my iMac says I have to use a different email addys!

I want to use facetime on multiple machines but my iMac says I have to use a different email addys! Needing multiple email addresses for using Facetime on multiple Apple devices seems really ridiculous to me. What is the way around that?

you won't get that feature until apple releases the new IOS 6 http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/#facetime for normal users.
Are your friends developers who are trying out the beta IOS 6?

Is It Safe To Use Target Disk Mode Between My Intel iMac And A G4 eMac ?

I want to use DiskWarrior 4 to rebuild my Intel-iMac's directories but a suitable startup CD has not yet been produced.
So I intend to put DW on my old G4 eMac (OSX 10.4.10) and use Target Disk Mode between the two.
As they have different processors and OS will it be possible and more importantly will it be safe to do so?
Ian.

I received the very latest CD revision from Alsoft for DiskWarrior, Rev. 42. This latest version is STILL not able to boot the newest MacBook Pros. I tried, and eventually my MacBook just restarts to its internal HDD.
So I tried to run DiskWarrior 4.1 on a PowerMac Dual G4 which I had the Macbook Pro connected via target disk mode. NOTE: Both Macs are running the latest Mac OS X 10.5.4.
About half way through the "rebuilding directory" process, the G4 had a kernel panic and the black screen came up telling me to force shutdown my Mac. I nearly soiled myself. Luckily, the freeze up happened before the vital stage when DiskWarrior is replacing the directory. So MacBook Pro luckily booted back up okay.
So, I'd say to play it safe and NOT try to run DiskWarrior 4.1 from an older pre-Intel Mac to rebuild an Intel Mac's directory via target disk mode.
Currently, I think my only option I have to rebuild my Macbook Pro's directory is to install Mac OS X on an external HDD, install DiskWarrior and run it from there.

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector and shown on a screen. I'd like to do it wirelessly as the projector will be installed in the ceiling. I am not sure exactly what I would need to get this set up. I do not have wifi at church or cellular but would be getting the iPad (not yet purchased) with wifi only. If I use Apple TV to hook up the projector to, would it need wifi to work if I will only be using the ipad for documents, worksheets (much like what a school/professor would use) or other things that an app could do (draw a line, etc.)

Epson projectors have such a feature, so if you're going to buy a new projector, you might start with their units. The app is described here:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Landing/ProjectorApp.do
and there's a projector compability list linked from the very bottom of the page. There may be other projector manufacturers with similar apps, but I don't know for sure. All will probably also require a local WiFi network set up, though said network should not need Internet access if that's an issue for you.
Regards.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.
