Is it possible to extend my desktop to another screen wirelessly?

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to extend my desktop from my macbook pro to a second display unit in my room which will be wall mounted? Obviously this is possible with a cable, but I wonder if it can be done wirelessly and with what kit.
TIA.
Ravi

Well you need a graphics card to drive the large monitor and I don't think there is a wireless setup fast enough to stream video in HD like that.
Even if there was there would be a whole bunch of honking equiptment next to your precious.
What you can do is get a Mac Mini or another Mac that can drive that large monitor with the resoluton you need and then use Apple Remote Desktop to control the Mac Mini from across the room. Order itunes movies and so forth.
You see the Mac Mini's screen on your MacBookPro's desktop screen and can control it pretty much in real time on a fast LAN.

  • Possible to extending macbook desktop to ipad?

    Is it possible to extend a MacBook Pro desktop to an iPad? I've got them connected via Bluetooth, but just curious if this is even possible.
    I'm on OSX 10.8.4, and using an iPad 2.

    Take a look at AirDisplay:

    It requires WiFi, though.

  • Video Mirroring / Extending the desktop

    I have a 12" iBook G3 800mhz dual usb and have just bought a Samsung TFT 17" which works fine and plugged straight in using the apple adapter. I wanted to extend the desktop to have palettes etc. on the laptop screen, then use the 17" for the file window. Is this possible at all on an ibook, or do I need a new graphics card or something? any help appreciated

    You really need a PowerBook to do screen spanning. There is a software hack that will enable you to do it, but it is not recommended by Apple, and can endanger your iBook (i.e., kill it dead). I RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOT DO THIS. I don't usually even post the link.

  • How can i extend the desktop of my retina Macbook using an ATV?

    Hey,
    i know i had this working before, but i was using the developer preview of mavericks in that time. So is it possible?( or is it even a feature that comes with mavericks?) and if so: how would i do it?
    i'm only offered the option to mirror the screen currently.
    Any help would be great.
    15" rMBP
    ATV3

    It's an announced feature that will come with OS X Mavericks > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview
    Until then, a third-party app can extend your desktop to your Apple TV, like AirParrot > http://www.airsquirrels.com/airparrot/

  • I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use?

    I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use? My 2006 iMAC is showing it's age but I figure I can use it as just a monitor just fine. Assuming I can connect the two together.

    That older iMac isn't designed to receive video input through the mini-DVI connection. Only certain newer iMacs are able to be used as displays.
    Your only options are to use something like ScreenRecycler mentioned above.

  • Extending my desktop across 2 (DVI) displays from 15" MacBook Pro Retina

    Hi. I bought a new 15" MacBook Pro Retina a few days ago and am trying to connect 2 Dell displays with a view to extending my desktop across them both. At the Apple shop I was told I simply needed to buy 2 Thunderbolt to DVI converters (my 2 displays both have DVI out) and hook them up... Not true. If I try this my desktop only extended across 1 display. The other display isn't even picked up by my MacBook Pro.
    So does anyone out there know how I connect 2 DVI displays to my MacBook Pro without buying a Matrox Dual Link? If I bought an HDMI to DVI converter cable and connected one display via the HDMI port, and the other display via the thunderbolt port, would this work?

    May not be an upgrade issue ..
    You have a fast processor. and 8GB of RAM is more than sufficient.  (The processor cannot be replaced)
    Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow the system down.
    If your Mac seems to running slower, try the suggestions here > Mac troubleshooting: What to do when your computer is too slow | Macworld
    If you have not done so, especially with school files stored on the hard drive, make sure to back up your important data on a timely basis.  Help here >  Mac Basics: Time Machine
    Not a good idea to post the serial number of your Mac on the net. I have asked the moderators to edit that information for you. It has nothing to do with upgrading.

  • I need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

    i need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

    I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.

  • Is it possible to extend the title of a "DATE" column?

    Hi I have made a table;
    SQL> SELECT * FROM BookCopy;
    BCID BTID DATEACQUI DATEDESTR
    120 9 09-FEB-06
    But the title is meant to say "DATEACQUIRED" but it only says "DATEACQUI"
    Does anyone know if it is possible to extend the title without using VARCHAR, thanks

    Hi,
    In SQL*Plus, you can set the width of a DATE column the same way you do it for a VARCHAR2.
    COLUMN  dateacquired  FORMAT A12
    SELECT  SYSDATE  AS dateacquired
    FROM    dual;produces
    DATEACQUIRED
    29-JAN-09

  • Is it possible to extend jdeveloper in this way?

    I'm wondering if its possible to extend jdeveloper's source editor, in jdeveloper. For instance if I have a custom file I want to have syntax highlighting (with my own syntax) and I want to add another tab to the file for a different view of the file. I'm talking about the tabs for the source window, like "Source | Design | History"
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for accomplishing and if its possible.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! The answer looks like YES it can be done, however I'm having trouble finding the actual full code samples for "CustomEditor" help file says goto the webpage, and the webpage just lists that the samples exist, but cant find where they are.
    Thanks again!

  • Is it possible to extend PT type Infotype like 2005?

    Hi~~~....
    I wonder that I can extend PT (Time Record) type Infotype like 2005.
    We can extend other type infotype using ci_ structure.
    But PT type Infotypes have no ci_ structure.
    Is it possible to extend???

    No, all absence/presence related infotypes can't be enhanced (infotypes 2000-2011).

  • Is it possible to Extend the Storage Bin Length from 10 Char to 25 Char

    Dear Experts,
    We have a Requirement for Extending the Storage Bin Length from 10 Character to 25 Character.
    Question 1:
    Is it possible to Extend or Not?
    Question 2:
    Even if we extend what will be Impact on the Current Storage Bin Numbers used now.
    Thanks for your support in Advance.

    No, you can't change length for storage bin field in standard and also it is not suggestable to client. If client forcing on requirement, You can suggest like below.
    create one more field for EXT.storage bin by using enhancement  and do one customized report for show as ,  storage bin number+EXT.storage bin = actual storage bin.
    For only client reference you do this report and in standard reports it will not show like this else tell to client ---> it is not possible, because it is replicating and using at different programmes.

  • Am I able to extend the desktop when a 27" display is attached to my IMAC 27"

    Am I able to extend the desktop when I use a 27" IMAC and a 27" extra display?

    Hi Donald,
    Go to System Preferences > Displays > and you should see two different windows, one for your iMac's display and one for the extra display. Click on the one for the extra display. Click on the Arrangement tab at the top. In the lower left corner, uncheck the box for "Mirror Displays" and it should go to extended desktop. You may also wish to check the box for Show displays in menu bar if you need to access the Displays pref frequently.
