IMac mediados 2011  thunderbolt como pantalla externa

Como configurar iMac 27" mediados 2011 Thunderbolt para usarlo como pantalla externa ó destino de otro origen Thunderbolt en el que corre Windows

Bienvenido/a
Sólo los iMacs de 27 pulgadas y los iMacs con Thunderbolt pueden ser utilizados como pantallas externas. Lea > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
En general, estos iMacs siempre han tenido problemas para ser usados como pantallas externas para PCs, siendo sólo compatibles con aquellos PCs que tuvieran un puerto DisplayPort, pero sin embargo, ésto era con los iMacs con Mini DisplayPort y no Thunderbolt. El caso de los iMacs con Thunderbolt es peor.
Como puede usted ver en la página que le dí, un iMac con Thunderbolt puede ser utilizado como una pantalla externa para cualquier Mac con Thunderbolt. Y aquí viene el problema, porque sólo los Macs tienen Thunderbolt. Algunos PCs, como algunos Vaio, tienen una implementación de Thunderbolt para PCs llamada "Light Peak", con un distinto conector, por lo que tampoco pueden ser conectados al iMac.
En conclusión, no es posible utilizar un iMac con Thunderbolt como una pantalla externa para un PC

  • IMac 27" mediados 2011 Thunderbolt como monitor externo de PC con Thunderbolt

    En mi PC tengo placa base Megabyte Z77X-UP5 TH con dos THUNDERBOLT y no consigo que mi IMac 27" de mediados 2011 con dos Thunderbolt funcione como monitor externo usando CMD + F2

    En lugar de utilizar ese adaptador, utiliza un cable Mini DisplayPort para conectar tus Macs. Conecta el cable al puerto Thunderbolt del MacBook Pro y al puerto Mini DisplayPort del iMac, y después, pulsa las teclas Command y F2 en el iMac para usarlo como monitor.
    La razón por la cual el cable Thunderbolt no funcionó es porque un Mac con puerto Mini DisplayPort, como tu iMac de finales del 2009, no detecta un cable Thunderbolt porque no es compatible; sin embargo, puedes utilizar un cable Mini DisplayPort con un Mac con puerto Thunderbolt sin ningún problema

  • IMac (July 2011) to external monitor (VGA)

    I have a new iMac (July 2011) and I need to hook it up to an external monitor that has a VGA output.  Is this possible?  If so, what adapter do I need?
    On the back of my iMac I see 1 thunderbolt port, 1 firewire port, 1 ethernet port, 4 usb ports, and audio lines in and out.  On the side are the slots for CD/DVD and SDXC cards.  The tech specs page on the Apple webpage claim there is "Mini DisplayPort output with support for DVI, VGA, and dual-link DVI (adapters sold separately)", but I don't see a DisplayPort.  Unless one of the other ports is meant to serve that purpose.  In that case which adapter would I need to make this work?

    Yes you need:

    Your Thunderbolt connector also handles Mini Display port duties too.

  • IMac Retina 5K (2015) with 1xTDM iMac (2011) and 1x Dell External Display possible?

    I have 1 x 27" iMac Retina 5K (2015), 1 x 27 " iMac (mid 2011) and a Dell P2715Q. I'd like to know if it's possible to run the 2011 iMac in Target Display Mode and my Dell as a secondary display from my 2015 iMac? My desired configuration is the 2015 iMac running two external displays. The 2015 iMac has an AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB Gfx card and both iMacs are running Yosemite 10.10.1
    I have verified that running the 2011 iMac only via TDM works. Also running the Dell as an external Display only works (either at 4K resolution or the same resolution as the external iMac (2560x1440) via SwitchResX). With the Dell running @ 2560x1440, trying to put the 2011 iMac into TDM, causes a slow grey screen, then some display artefacts when coming out of TDM. Going in and out again appears to refresh the screen. But it doesn't seem to work.
    I was wondering if anyone else has a similar configuration working and if so what settings or configuration changes to make?
    Thanks!

    I stopped by the Apple Store yesterday, and they were nice enough to try the Screen Sharing solution with me.
    Indeed, we were able to share the screen of a MacBook Pro and display it on the iMac Retina 5K over a Thunderbolt Bridge network. (should also work over WiFi)
    As I expected, (based on the native resolutions) the MBP window maxed out at about 55-60% of the height and width of the 5K display.
    I didn't try experimenting with lower resolutions on the 5K.
    I'd actually be OK with that solution except as we increased the font sizes, (e.g. 48 pt) we noticed a *lot* of ghosting around the characters.
    I will have to try it again at normal font sizes and decide if that is something I can work with all day long.
    Otherwise, I am leaning towards buying last year's iMac, which kinda' grates me the wrong way.
    Thanks,

    Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

  • I have a new (mid-2011 27" Imac with 2 Thunderbolt ports each driving one 27" Thunderbolt display. The 3 displays work perfectly in OSX Lion but in Bootcamp 4.0 with Windows 7 (64 bit) only 2 screens come up. everything is up to date. Anyonce who can help

    I have a new (mid-2011 27" Imac with 2 Thunderbolt Ports each driving one 27" Thunderbolt display.
    Graphic card is AMD Radeon HD 6970M  with 2Gb of VRAM.   All works 100% in Lion but
    in Bootcamp 4.0 running windows 7 Professional (64 bit) Only 2 of the 3 screens work not all three.
    Tried updates, calling Apple etc. But no luck.  Windows doesn't recognize the 3rd screen while
    checking on the driver in windows is tells me it's the latest and best available. ?  In VMware
    Windows 7 also works fine over three screens so windows can do it. But I need it natively to
    work. (i.o.w. in Bootcamp). Does Anybody know how to solve this, or if Apple is working on a
    solution for this ?  It really hurts to have one of these expensive screens staring at you being dead.

  • IMac DVD drive issues (May 2011 Thunderbolt models)?

    I'm going nuts. I picked this machine back up three hours ago from the Apple Store, where they replaced my Optiarc DVD drive on my 27" iMac with a new one (and also the cable).
    I'm having the same danged problem. So either there's a rash of bad Optiarc drives out there, or the Apple Store didn't do crap.
    Without going into all of the headaches, these are the disk CRC-32's from the "iMac Mac OS X Install DVD" that came with the machine:
    On this machine:             $193BD913
    On the "good" machine:  $85FBE37B
    Image made on good:     $85FBE37B (i.e., I made a read-only disk image on the "good" machine of this disk)
    Image made on this:       "unable to verify" (twice)
    Can somerun please run a CRC32 checksum for me on their May 2011 Thunderbolt iMac DVD and confirm the correct checksum?
    I've tried similar DVD's with similar results.
    I'm confident I don't have a software conflict, because that's just illogical, and also this machine won't install from the DVD onto a fresh drive (in fact I had to make a USB key on the "good" machine to get this machine to work).
    Finally, is there a software method of determining the serial number of the Optiarc drive? System Profiler doesn't show it, and I want to make danged sure that they replace it next time.
    Thanks!

    No one can run a checksum for me in Disk Utility? Please?

  • Will time capsule support Airportextreme 802.11ac and an external hard drive on my iMac (late 2011) with Yosemite?

    I want to set up a new Airport extreme 802.11ac with an external drive as a wireless back up for time capsule. I have an iMac (late 2011) running Yosemite. Will this work, and if so, what are the recommended external hard drives that work the best.
    The rationale for not buying a time capsule is that I have had 2 hard drive failures and replacements on both my iMacs and I am afraid if the time capsule drive fails, it will be yet another apple hard drive that has failed on me. I currently back up on G drive external drives.

    Apple does not make hard drives. They may be using the same drive that's in your G-Drives.
    You can backup to an external drive connected to the newest AEBS via USB.

  • No internal or external sound from speakers on iMac (mid 2011)

    After plugging in external speakers that failed, my iMac (mid 2011) will not output any sound through internal or external speakers. I am currently in a country with no authorized Apple service centers. Any ideas about what I can do to test and diagnose?
    I have checked all the usual places for sound being on mute as well as in Systems Prefrences\Sound. Thanks in advance for any input/ideas. It may be a while before I can get it serviced by a professional, if need be.

    Open Audio MIDI Setup and select the Audio Devices window. Select Built-In Output from the list on the left.
    Make sure the format is 44100 HZ and 2ch 24bit if the settings are not that set them that way and try your audio.
    Also in your frst post you menttioned speakers that failed. How did they fail? Were they pluged in when they failed?

  • How do I get my iPhoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel iMac mid 2011

    How do I get my Iphoto library from a ppc g5 to an intel imac mid 2011?

    I recommend tha tyou do not use migration assistant - it has a poor record of moving the iPhoto library successfully
    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • IMac: Upgrade harddrive or get an external drive?

    I am running out of space on my harddrive (500GB) and am considering my options:
    1. Upgrade the harddrive in my IMac.
    2. Attach an external harddrive and move some large folders to it.
    What are the experiences of others with either option? What is more affordable? What is a better solution for my working experience? If I opt for an internal upgrade, how do I replace the harddrive? Do I do it myself or go somewhere? And if upgrading externally, how do I move the files without it slowing down my working experience? I appreciate any help with this issue,
    Best, Arnout

    you are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain at least 15-20 GBs of empty hard drive space.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Unistall any third party applications in your applications folder that you no longer use.
    If the app has no uninstaller, just drag it to the OS X Trash icon. If the app has an uninstaller app, use this app to completely Unistall the application. Remember to empty OS X trash, again, when you are done deleting apps.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • HT201300 What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch early 2011 model to an external projector so it will display the computer screen image through the projector?

    What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

    You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP.  That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port.  The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.
    Ciao.

  • IMac May 2011 won't automatically boot

    I have a problem that is driving me crazy. I have a 27" iMac (May 2011 model) which is factory  fitted as standard with a 256gb SSD boot disc and a 2Tb hard drive. When I start up the machine from cold or reset the operating system starts with the familiar grey screen, apple logo and a spinning animated clock. It continues in this mode until I hear the internal hard drive spin down and then  only finishes booting into the operating system once the hard drive starts spinning up again. After that, all functions as normal. The iMac used to start up in about 15 seconds directly from the SSD but now takes well over a minute while it goes through the hard drive spinning down and starting up routine.
    What could possibly be wrong and how do I fix this consistent problem.

    Try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your SSD entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Repeat the disk and permissions repair on the HDD.
    When you reboot the computer do so in Safe Mode then restart normally. The first startup will be slow, but the second one should be faster if all is OK.

  • IMac: USB and Thunderbolt ports seems loose

    I'm not sure if this is really a question other than wondering if other people experience it.
    I have a 14.2 27" iMac.  The thunderbolt port is used to connect to a second display, and the USB ports are primarily used for external drives.
    In all cases, I find that even the slightest movement of the USB or Thundebolt cable will result in the device being momentarily physically disconnected.  I have tried to reproduce this on my gaming PC with the USB drives and I can wiggle the cable all I want without the drive disconnecting.
    Since all of the USB ports on the iMac do this, and none of the ports on the PC do, I can only assume there is some sort of design flaw or manufacturing defect. 
    Any thoughts?
    -Doc

    Yep, same here, my relatively new, very expensive, souped up 27 iMac keeps on dropping the drive connected to the Thunderbolt port whenever I unplug something from a neighbouring USB port.
    And no, Apple I am not lugging a huge 27 inch iMac back to the store for you to fix something that is your fault, which you don't admit is happening to many iMacs and which you apparently don't know how to fix. And apparently in Australia we don't have site visits for Apple Care....
    I am a weak older person who can't lift the thing (and who waited a very long time to be able to afford this machine) - but you see I never expected my iMac and Mavericks to be so darn dodgy - I trusted you Apple.. as I have for the last 30 years of using an Apple.
    Mavericks probs were bad enough, but it was a software prob which eventually (hopefully I thought they'll fix) - it does make my heart bleed however to realise that Apple with its billions of cash in the bank can't afford to hire some decent coders to fix multiple probs with Mavericks in a timely fashion....
    But now?????
    - now I realise I actually have a computer with a faulty thunderbolt port....and that Apple does not seem to be acknowledging this fault....Apple had better find a solution that does not give me a hernia....
    Thanks for your input folks in this forum.....sorry for sounding so annoyed - that's cos I am:-)
    ( and yes I am going to put this in feedback somewhere so the robot who reads can bin it more easily)

  • Does iMac come with thunderbolt cable?

    I bought my iMac in 2011 and it has thunderbolt, but i never needed to use it until now.
    I cant remember if it came with a thunderbolt cable or not.
    Before I start searching my boxes full of cables I would like to know if it even came with one.
    Thanks!!

    No.
