If i have my mac mini and my mac air connected to my thunderbolt display at the same time how do I switch between each of them without unplugging one of them?

If i have my mac mini and my mac air connected to my thunderbolt display at the same time how do I switch between each of them without unplugging one of them? (By the way im mirroring my macbook air to my thunderbolt display not dual screening it)

That's not what home sharing is for or how it works.
You want the remote app.

  • Why can't you Fullscreen both Mac and Thunderbolt display at the same time?

    The plan was to movies in the background while I  surf the internet... Not have a grey screen. WARNING! If you're considering purchasing a Thunderbolt display... I'm warning you. You can't use the Thunderbolt in fullscreen and still use your Mac!
    This is the worst purchase I've ever made- Exactly WHAT am I supposed to do with this Thunderbolt display, charge some iPhones? Why won't it do the very thing I bought it for? Windows has had this capability since XP!!! I sear, if I can't figure out some kind of "hack" to make this piece of junk work: I'M TAKING IT BACK!

    You can't use the Thunderbolt in fullscreen and still use your Mac!
    You can with VLC.
    <http://www.videolan.org>
    Make sure Mirroring is disabled in the Arrangement tab of Displays system preference.
    Select the Thunderbolt display for full screen in VLC's Video preference.

  • How can i connect to a LAN and external display at the same time using the mini-displayport?

    Hi all,
    At work i'm connected to the Lan via an adapter and the mini displayport. I want to use my external display at the same time, which use the same mini displayport. Are there any splitters available to use both at the same time? Are there any other alternatives?
    Thanks,

  • Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

    When I want to make a phonecall with my iphone5, I hear absolutely nothing....no ringing and no talking when connection established. When I make the same call but now on speaker, no problem or what so ever, can anyone help me ?

    Hello there, RobenCaatje.
    The following Knowledge Base article is specific for the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
    Specifically:
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I have an iPad 3 and when trying to print Pages documents from EpsoniPrint there is a border, how can I get it to print normal without sending it to my Mac?

    I have both quickoffice and pages on my iPad, and when I try to print from either of those through EpsoniPrint they don't print "normal".  And pages prints with a border around it.  How can I adjust that or is there a better app for printing via wireless?  I have an epson 510, so it's wireless capable but not AirPrint.

    If you have a Mac I would recommend that your install Printopia. Here is a link to it:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    With Printopia, any printer that you can connect to your Mac will appear on your iPad as long as they are on the same wi-fi network. Try Printopia to see if that border goes away. Good luck!

  • DVI to AV ...and... DVI to VGA... at the same time?

    A Mac Mini was purchased for use with a "student TV station" run by an elementary school classroom. It will need to output a composite video signal quite often, as well as be used a standard VGA monitor.
    Except the Mini can't do this. At least not normally. Apple sells two adapters for the DVI port, and it appears that we can only use one or the other, but not both:
    - Apple DVI to Video Adapter, $19
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6234003/wo/T26cQ NkfGcGT3Pxe2vN1uH3OqJ9/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.3.3
    - Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter, $19
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6234003/wo/T26cQ NkfGcGT3Pxe2vN1uH3OqJ9/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3
    However, if I go look around on the Internet, it is possible to find a way to split the single DVI port on the Mini into two or more DVI ports, and then plug in both adapters at the same time:
    StarTech 2-Port DVI Digital Video Splitter/Amplifier, $115
    http://www.provantage.com/startech-st122dvi~7STRV00N.htm
    I note that this is only a single-link DVI splitter, good up to only 1600x1200. I have no idea if single or dual link matters for this application, but if dual-link is required, here is a more expensive dual-link DVI-splitter option:
    Kramer Electronics VM-2DVI 1:2 DVI Distribution Amplifier, $267
    http://www.internet-security-inc.com/catalog/productinfo.php?productsid=486245
    The question here is... can this work?
    Apple is known for doing strange things with its own proprietary hardware, incorporating hidden signalling and so forth, and I'd expect nothing less of this odd little DVI to composite video adapter.
    If there's some backchannel communications going on between the video adapter and the Mini, then things may get confused if I try to split the signal and use a VGA monitor at the same time.
    In a worst-case scenario, this could possibly damage the Mini, the monitor, or the adapter. Or at minimum, perhaps the video adapter won't work at all.
    Has anyone tried splitting the Mini's DVI port like this?

    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    This sounds like it could work. One restriction is that both displays would have to be displaying the exact same image at the same resolution. Since it sounds like one of the devices will be a TV, you will probably be running 640 x 480. That's a pretty low resolution to be running on a VGA monitor.
    You don't need dual-link. Single link will be fine. The mini doesn't support dual link. You might want to call on startech.com and get some pre-sales information about your application. I think you are justified in your worries that the setup of this box with a mini might prove tricky. I was reading the manual for the ST122DVI and came across this cryptic note: "If you install the DDC monitor for the splitter, the rest of the monitors must be the same resolution as the DDC monitor." That sounds like a bad translation from another language to English. The mini relies on DDC (backchannel communications, as you put it) so the box needs to pass this info correctly or you will have set up trouble and would probably have to resort to a utility like DisplayConfigX or SwithRes X to manually set a resolution.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • IPad charging in car and connection to CD changer unit at the same time

    Hi all,
    Firstly, this is my first post here, so apologies if my post is either considered rude or unto wards in any fashion. Apologies also if this question has been covered elsewhere - I have searched the forums to sone extent, but cannot guarantee that I haven't missed something!
    I'm looking for a splitter cable for in-car use with the iPad.
    The specifics of my car stereo are as such :
    no bluetooth
    No AUX either.
    I have a CD Changer connect at the rear of the car head unit, to which is attached a factory installed cable. This cable is CD Changer plug for the car stereo end, going to 30-pin connector at the other end.
    This is a perfect solution for my old iPod photo - it allows me to control the iPod via the car stereo, AND charge the iPod at the same time.
    However...
    I have an iPad 2 which I would like to use in place of the iPod photo. I wish to plug the iPod (Music app) into the car stereo, and use one of the GPS apps, AND charge the iPad 2 all at the same time.
    There is not enough juice coming from the car stereo to allow me to do all this concurrently, as you will probably be aware. If my car journeys were short, I would not be too worried, but I often use the car for journeys that are longer than 10 hours. The iPad, with the GPS and iPod apps running at the same time, will not remain "alive" for this amount of time - the longest I've managed is about 6 and a half hours before the iPad runs out of juice.
    So I'm looking for a splitter that I can slot into the dock connection of the iPad and will split into USB for the cigar lighter and into a 30 pin (female) that will go to the 30 pin (male) connector that runs to the CD Changer port on the car stereo.
    In other words (and I hope this diagram works) :
                                                                  IPad
                                                             USB.     30-pin (f)
                                                            /.                 30-pin (m)
                                                Cigar lighter.                CD Changer plug
    I have looked everywhere on line, have contacted various cable suppliers (such as USBFever) but up 'till now I have had no joy.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.                               

    Thanks, Rudegar, for your reply.
    Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to start, not being terribly technically minded. And I'm not sure that this would be an economic resolution - would this involve buying soldering irons etc.? And would I be able to be sure that I wouldn't mess something up, and cause overheating/other damage to the iPad itself?
    Surely this must be a fairly common problem, however? I'm sure that I'm not the only one looking for such thing??
    Anyone else have a solution?
    Thanks.

  • Is Cleartype able to support both RGB and BGR sub pixel panel displays at the same time?

    Hi,
    I am using 2 27' LED displays on my PC. One has RGB sub pixel, the other has BGR sub pixel.
    I have problem to tune the font using Cleartype. I have tried to tune all displays a few times and always get the following result.
    If I use the RGB one as the primary display, the font on the RGB display looks ok but the font on the BGR display looks weird after tuning using cleartype.
    If I use the BGR display as the primary, the font on the BGR display looks ok but the font on the RGB display looks weird after tuning using cleartype.
    Basicly, the after tuning with Cleartype, the font on the Primary display looks good but on the other looks weird.
    I have also tested with single display setup. i.e. connect only the RGB sub pixel display or the
    BGR sub pixel display.
    ClearType tuning works well for single display setup no matter which display I have connected.
    But once I connect the 2nd display and tune using Cleartype, the font on the Primary display looks good but on the other looks weird. (The same as above)
    To be more specific, the RGB display is Philips 278C4 (connect using HDMI), the BGR display is Dell P2714H (connect using DisplayPort. I have also tried DVI. DisplayPort or DVI give same result).
    My system is Win 8.1 Pro x64 JA-JP with all latest patches installed, and my graphic card is nVidia GTX 760, with the latest driver installed.
    I suspect this is due to one display has RGB sub pixel panel, and the other has BGR sub pixel panel, which means
    Windows ClearType need to take care both RGB and BGR for at the same time. I am not sure if this is fully supported by Windows 8.1 ClearType.
    Is there any solution or workaround to make the font on both displays looks nice?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Windows includes several technologies to render text on the screen. These include Windows GDI, Direct Write and Windows Presentation Foundation.
    Windows GDI is limited to using one set of ClearType settings per system
    while the other two support different settings per display.
    It depends. Most LCD screens have a RGB striping order. A very small number have a striping order of BGR.

  • Mac mini and existing Airport wireless connections

    Hi.
    If i purchase the new mac mini duo processor...I can supposedly hook it up to my old iMac and run Tiger on it...correct?
    I am using Airport extreme to connect wirelessly to the iMac, the iBook and my Powerbook. Which Airport would I use then for the iBook and Powerbook?
    I also have a PC that I tried to hook up to the Airport using a special app but that did not work. Now, if I hooked it to mac mini, I could then connect wirelessly using the mini's Airport?
    Is anyone else totally overwhelmed by how fast technology advances? Most of these discussions...I have no idea what you are talking about.
    If the mini is easy, sure to work, will update my system to Tiger, will still run some of my old iWork, iTunes, iPhoto, iLife, iDVD, Photoshop applications...then I will be happy.
    But it won't update all of them to Tiger? will it?
    I think I need a Mac iPsychotherapist.
    PowerBookG4, iMac, iBook, Blue & White G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    To upgrade your old iMac to Tiger, you will need to buy a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). You cannot use the Mac OS X install disk that comes with your new Mac mini to update another computer.
    If you want, you can move your iWork files, iTunes music, iPhoto pictures and other files & projects to your new Mac mini. The Mac mini will come with iLife '06, the current version, but you should be able to import all your files. The Mac mini comes with a 30-day trial version of iWork '06, you may need to buy a new, full copy to keep using iWork on your new Mac mini.
    To answer your AirPort questions, let me first make sure I understand your set-up. You have an older iMac that is connected to the Internet with wires. Your iMac has an AirPort card inside and you're using that AirPort card to "share" your iMac's Internet connection with the other computers? Or do you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station and all three of your current computes are connected wirelessly?
    If you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station, there's no reason you couldn't connect your new Mac mini to that network. There's also no reason you shouldn't be able to connect your Windows PC to that network.
