Is it possible to display Window PC video output on an iMac via Thunderbolt?

Currently the ThunderBolt iMacs can only be used as an external display by other ThunderBolt Macs.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
When there is a Windows PC with ThunderBolt released it might work as well.
And/or when there will be ThunderBolt devices which enable this.
The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might allow this once it is released.

You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
You could've just left that button alone.
When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older backup that should appear by date when you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

HT3986 Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard? Many Thanks

Hi All
Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
Many Thanks

Holy crap, this fixes the issue. At least temporarily it has. I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along. I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago. Thank you, tbirdvet. You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.

Inspiron 3847 losing video output to HP w2207h via HDMI and Analog upon Restart

I recently purchased an Inspiron 3847 and hooked it up to an HP w2207h monitor by VGA and HDMI. Twice I have installed new software and upon restart I lose all video output. The computer is running, but I am unable to get video to my monitor to use it.
I am not sure where to go from here, as I have hooked up my laptop to the monitor also by VGA and HDMI and the monitor works fine?

* Turn the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H off
* Disconnect the VGA cable from both the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H
* This leaves only the HDMI cable connecting the Inspiron 3847 to the W2207H
* Turn the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H on. Does anything appear on the W2207H? If yes, allow it to boot all the way into windows
* When done, restart the Inspiron 3847. What happens?

27" Cinema display goes black, connected to Mid 2011 iMac w/thunderbolt connections.

I bought a used 27" Cinema Display (A1316) and had it connected to my Mid 2011 iMac with thunderbolt connections. The screen goes black but I can still get audio through its speakers. Do I need to replace the cable bundle? Help please!

Hi levifromhenderson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like trouble with an external display. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

Is it possible to share Windows XP internet connection to iPhone 4 via USB tethering?

My computer (Windows XP) connects to the internet, and I want to share that connection to my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1). Is it possible to do that via USB tethering? I know that it's possible for iPhone 4 to share its internet connection to others via Personal Hotspot, so can the opposite be done?

You wouldn't be able to do that via USB, however if your computer had the ability to transmit wireless from the computer, you would be able to connect the iPhone to it via wifi. Computers have the ability to do that with the correct equipment.

Video output to my iMac?

I just got my iMac a few weeks ago, and the screen is beautiful. Since I shelled out 1200 bucks, I don't really have the funds to upgrade my TV right now, which is an old tube with really funky colors(red shows up almost black). As a result, I was wondering if there is like a USB adapter with a cable TV input so I can watch TV or hook up my PS2 to my iMac. I've gotten used to the colors watching TV, but I have a lot of old PS2/one games I still like to play but they are unplayable on my TV. I know I really need a new TV but if anyone knows of a product that would help me out it would be a nice in the meantime.

hmm.. after doing some research I see there is a product called EyeTV Hybrid that does this, but it's $150... probably should just save and get a nice TV.

Second display via Thunderbolt "flashes" after EFI 1.7

I have a second display (Samsung SyncMaster 245BW) connected to my 27" iMac via Thunderbolt and a miniDisplay -> DVI connector. I just recently got the 1.7 EFI software update and noticed that the second display will flash every 2 - 3 minutes. Anyone else seeing this? Should I revert back to the previous EFI?

KVM switches are either compatible with Macs or they are problematic at best.
I had a KVM here that when I switched to another screen/keyboard, the screen would stay black, until I disconnected and reconnected the Mac video cable. It was a PITA. Threw it in the trash eventually.
I now have a mini and a nettop Linux box, both connected to the same monitor with DVI and VGA respectively. The screens are switched with a button on the monitor. If I need a keyboard on the Linux box, I attach one, otherwise I ssh into it and use the Apple keyboard. There is a separate wireless USB mouse on the Linux box, as needed.

Nano video output via headphone socket?

Can the new Nano video output to the TV via the headphone socket, like my iPod Video 80g?
Thanks.

Trip to Apple store and Genius Bar (Genius my a**e!), where I had a 2 hour wait, 20 minutes with the Genius (I use the term lightly) to be told what I already knew, plus he thinks the headphone output is connec ted to main logic board and that will cost almost £300 for parts. Dream-on!
On the way home I purchased a £8 Toslink cable (£32 in Apple store) plugged it in and hey presto - perfect sound.
So it looks like the headphone socket is stuck in digital mode.
Well at least it's getting better. Now off to research & establish how many other folks report same issue.

Participant Video & Presentation Content Output to same Display Window

When a dual screen SX20 joins a call and shares presentation, the content and participant video appears in the same window as a single participant, instead of having presentation appearing in the other screen. (Refer to attached picture)
When the sharing is done by other participants in the same call, it appears fine for everyone, (including the SX20) with participants on the left screen and presentation on the right screen. This also appear fine for the SX20 in question.
Is there any configuration or mis-wiring that could possibly cause this?
Thanks!

Hello Dereth -
Can you tell us how the endpoint in question is configured? Also, what is the endpoint, the one in the image isn't an SX20?
Check the following, it could be that the monitors are configured incorrect.
Configuration Video MonitorsThis should be set to Dual.
Configuration Video Output HDMI [1,2] MonitorRoleThis should be set to First and Second receptively for monitor 1 and 2.
Also, how is the call being established (H323/SIP, point-to-point or MCU), and does it do this with any call connected to this particular endpoint? It could be that it can't open up a dedicated content channel, the result being that it will show content within the main video channel.

Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
AHHH??!!!!!! Was that your original question?? I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display. If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO.... You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
-ais-swiss
Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Here are two different statements from that webpage:
So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.

Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
Disk 0 Part 1 - 102 MB EFI System
Disk 0 Part 2 - 128 MB MSR
Disk 0 Part 3 - 500 MB Primary
Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
(X3 710).
I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
be OK there.
Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
launch a command prompt.
I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
First I selected the disk
list disk (this displays the installed disks)
select disk 0
The I converted the disk to gpt
convert gpt
Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
create partition
efi size=200
Then I created MSR
partition:
create partition
msr size=128
Then I created primary
partition:
create partition
primary
...and it took remaining
available space to itself.
I assigned drive
letter C to this new first "primary" partition
Assign letter=c
I confirmed the order is:
I confirmed the partition order is:
ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
“Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
and the details show:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to display an Alert when user clicks on the X on the browser

Hi
Is it possible to display an Alert when user clicks on the X on the browser.I saw some threads regarding this mentioning about js.I want to do this ins the iProcurement module and dont wnat to make changes to each and every page.
isn't there any global setup which would help to achive this?

Are you talking about Windows close X. If yes, then to my knowledge there is nothing in OA Framework to handle it. You can check if it can be handled using javascripts.

OS X doesn't have a UI size increase ability like what you expect on Windows, it's been a long complaint of Mac users for ages, but Apple simply refuses to listen.

I have a web browser solution here, the other opiton is to use a scroll wheel/head mouse and a Universal Access "control" key to press while scolling with the mouse up and down to zoom in/out where the mouse is pointed or some other trackpad etc arrangement.

Have you tried holding the Windows key and tapping the P key?
As there is no support for Windows 7 for your laptop by HP at this writing, this may indeed be difficult.
Have you checked in Device manager to see if any drivers have a yellow exclamation mark next to them?
