Imac27 2009 as extra screen for imac 2007 2011

Hello,
I have an Imac 27inch of 2009. To enlarge my workspace I added another Imac 27 inch but model 2011.
I want to use the oldest computer as extra screen.
After been advised by apple salesman, I use a thunderbolt cable to fix the job.
With the command F2 or automatic detection in the configuration, neither of them works. Both computers can't be connected.
Does someone knows how to clear the job?
Thanks

Sorry, but are you incapable of looking things up for yourself? Everything that you have asked is easily searchable on the internet.
I used it over wi-fi.

Sorry but no. The iPhone doesn't support dual screens to any device, much less an iPad.

Extra screen for my iMac

Hi
I've got a Powerbook running OSx 10.4.11 with a power PC g4, and an iMac running OSx 10.5.5 with an intel Core 2 duo.
I want to connect the laptop to the iMac just so that the extra screen can be used and i have a larger work area and the one mouse can flip between screens. Is this possible? i can do it on my PC at work but i've tried ethernet and firewire and it isn't working out.
If anyone has any ideas that would be gratefully received.
Thanks

If I correctly understand what you want, you'll need software called Screen Recycler. Install it on both Macs and it will route the video signal through Ethernet, making Mac #2 as a monitor for Mac #1.
If what you meant was to control both Macs but each is running independently, then you'd need Teleport.

Macbook pro 2012 as second screen for imac 2013 via thunderbolt cable

Hello,
I was wondering wether it is possible to use my macbook as a second screen for my imac using a thunderbolt cable.
I want to use my imac as primary mac because the specs are better.
Thanks

Most new monitors will support standard DVI and VGA connections. Some may support Mini-DVI ports. That's about all I can tell you.
As for other factors I would look at monitor reviews - as many as you can - for the size and resolutions in which you are interested. There are a lot of products out there. You might try first doing a Google search to learn more about the meanings of the various specs the manufacturers provide so you might wade through the smoke and mirrors in search of meaningful information.

Is maverick for imac 2007?

I just install maverick for my imac 2007, then I can't work with Safari and Mail,and the system now is very slow,I unplug all the external drivers ,but still slow

Mavericks requires 4GB memory. It would help to increase the memory to 4GB or 6 GB (otherworldcomputing.com), a 2 and 4 GB module. Look at crucial.com and otherworldcomputing.com for RAM prices and combinations that will work with your Mac.
Try booting into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and the disk. Reboot and see if there's any improvement.
Do you have any anti virus software installed? Have you used MacKeeper or CleanMyMac since upgading? Those are apps to avoid like the plague.

Use TV as screen for iMac

Can Apple TV enable use of TV screen as a remote computer screen

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

Why doesn't the new ram memory for iMac (mid 2011) work (different brand)?

Hello,
I have an Macbook pro at home (early 2011) and an iMac (mid 2011).
My macbook pro had 2 x 2GB ram and I wanted it to be higher, zo I bought 2 x 4GB ram from Kingston. I installed it succesfully in the macbook pro.
I saw that the ram in my macbook and iMac where the same type (1333MHz DDR3), so I figured the Ram-modules were interchangable. The iMac has 2 x 4GB ram put in by Apple itself. It's a weird brand name, something Asian that I hadn't heard off.
I thought I could put the original ones from my macbook pro (brand Samsung) in with the original ones that where already in the iMac.
So the slots would look like:
4GB 4GB -> already in iMac, original modules with brand name I can't remember ;-).
2GB 2GB -> original modules from macbook pro Samsung
I also put in in like shown: the same types next to eachother.
Then I turned my iMac on and it only "beeped".
So I tried to put it in different combinations (4GB next to 2GB etc etc). But it still "beeped".
Very frustrating... because I thought I was doing a good thing by buying Kingston (quite expensive also...).
Now I think I had better purchased new 2 x 4GB Samsung and combined that with the 2 x 2GB Samsung from the macbook and put it all in the iMac. And take those of the iMac (2 x 4GB Asian brand) and put those in the macbook... This way it were all the same brands combined...
But I did by Kingston... so... why can't I combine the original iMac ram modules with the Samung modules from the macbook????? I've read that in older iMac models, the slots are sensitive for different brands, but couldn't find out for sure for my iMac (mid 2011). It's a bit stupid, no... Both mac's are from 2011 and have the same specifications...
Could anyone give me an answer?
A little bit mad at Mac right now ;-).
Thanks in advance!
Wallking.
PS: if it is about the OSX I'm using... can't update to Maverick for software licence reasons... I need the iMac for work a lot...

Hello,
I'm sorry if it wasn't clear... but I don't have ram issues with the Kingston type...
I used the new Kinsgtons in my macbook and wanted to take the originals from the macbook (Samsung) and them put in my iMac next to the other modules that were already in the iMac.
I know it's a bit confusing... ;-)
So... I have 2 x 4gb in my iMac from a brand I can't remember the name off... And I also wanted to put in 2 x 2 GB Samsung modules. So that would count up to 12 GB ram. Why? Because I took the Samsung modules out of my macbook and I thought I could reuse them in my iMac since they have the same specifications (1333MHz DDR3). But My iMac won't start up as soon as I insert those 2 Samsung modules.

Need to do a Factory Reset for iMac late 2011. How do I do it with little hassle

I recently purchased a iMac (late 2011) from ebay and it did not come with a Disc. I keep seeing that it will require a disk. The Current operating system is 10.7.5
Im eligible to download Moutain Lion from the Apple Apps store but I dont know when to do it? Before or After the Factory Reset
What do you I need before I get Started? Will it just erase everything and start brand new? (what im looking for)
It seems to be running slow and Im really really new to MAC operating systems so if someone could please walk me thru this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You !!!

Did the selller tell you what version of OS X was installed when the machine originally purchased. If it had Snow Leopard on it you have an illegal verison of OS X, as the license for Lion and ML upgrades are not trasferable, they're also pretty useless to you because they're tied to the old owner's AppleID. If you are not sure or cannot find out then call AppleCare.
However if the machine originally shipped with Lion on it, the simply restart in the Restore Partion, do and erase and install and you're set. You can start in the Restore Partition by holding down the Command + R keys when you hear the startup tone and then choosing the Restore Partition and open Disk Utility.

Is there any way to use a late 2009 21.5 inch iMac as an external screen for an early 2011 MacBook Pro?

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out if there is any way that I can use my late 2009 21.5 inch iMac (running OS X 10.6.8; mindisplay port) as an external or second monitor when connected to my early 2011 13" MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8; thunderbolt).
From what I've read online, I gather that I cannot simply connect the two with a minidisplay port to thunderbolt cable, as the iMac does not support target display mode. I know I can 'share screens', but this doesn't give me much of an improvement on size compared to just using my MacBook.
Are there any other potential work arounds I might have missed? Any suggestions (or even conclusive answers to suggest I'm wasting my time by continuing to think about it!) would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Sorry but no, you are asking about Target Display Mode and the 2009/2010 21.5" iMacs did not support that, only the 27" iMacs did. You can read up on TDM in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where is the best place to buy a replacement screen for late 2007 Macbook (3.1)?

All,
My screen needs to be replaced on my late 2007 Macbook. I am willing to do the work myself, but need help in finding the correct model screen to buy. Where would be the best place to buy?

Depending on your geographical location, region, country, etc, part
sources will vary. So this is an open question. An independent
authorized Apple trained repair specialist or service facilitiy may
be able to get the part(s) and do the service. That is an old MB
and a regular Apple Store may be able to diagnose or estimate
a repair cost; but it also could be too old for that route to repair.
A best place to buy a part could be anywhere one is for sale;
there are several online and some ship almost world-wide.
If you are in north America, there are some who also may ship
to other areas, but then there is shipping, taxes, duty fees, etc.
You may be able to narrow down the part numbers and such
by looking into online parts resellers, an example may be
powerbookmedic.com, powermax.com, wegenermedia, etc.
There may be a part number reference in iFixit.com guides.
A service part such as main original hardware is more difficult
than a replacement hard disk drive or optical drive. Availability
varies, so without knowing where you are, I can't speculate as
to that, or any price structure. Authorized repair centers may
be found in the main online Apple links for service centers.
Sorry to not be of much help

Replacement screen for imac 27" late 2012

My new late 2012 27" imac has a scratch. Is it possible to replace the glass?

My cat pushed my late 2012 27 iMac off the desk and it fell on the floor. When I pulled it back up I gasped with horror. Although the LCD survived, the screen cover is cracked and the metal in the back bent a littlebit.
I have Apple care but obviously it woudn't cover the costs.
I took it to Apple and here is a quote for the repair: (I'm in the UK)

Hardware Repair Labor
£ 24.00

luckily I have accidental insurance, therefore the cat is still alive.

Replacement screen for iMac pre-calibrated?

I just received a new late 2013 iMac. There is a scratch on the screen and the reseller is saying they will replace the screen (a new machine will take ages they tell me).
If I get the screen replaced, will the replacement screen come pre-calibrated? I have read that Apple calibrate them at the factory - is this done for the screen component itself or done when the whole computer is assembled?
I don't want to replace the screen if it's not going to be as well calibrated.
Thanks!
