Is there a way to use windows 7 laptop as a second monitor with mac pro,fcpx

I have a Lenovo ideapad laptop it has a port the one seen in this picture is it possible to be used as a monitor ?? and how.?

Your mac (where fcpx is)  has to have some kind of secondary video out port.  And the laptop would need to have a matching video in port.  Without them, NO.
If you do have them, it's probably possible, but likely to be too much of a hassle to set up.
You might be able to over your network, (I do it between using my Apple devices) but with a PC you'd have to find appropriate software to do this, and again, probably more trouble than it's worth.

  • How to use an iPad as a second monitor with Bluetooth?

    I know there are several apps that will allow me to use my iPad as a second monitor over my wifi connection. But is there a way to us it over blue tooth or with a special cord?
    Thanks!

    I use a projector as a second monitor for a desk top. When the shutter is closed it is hard to minimize or exit a window. I would like to use my iPad as an additional second monitor so I can tell what I am doing.

  • Use iMac 27 mid 11 as monitor for Mac pro?

    I got a imac 27 mid 2011 with a failed video card, and the price of replacing it and the logicboard cost the same as new second hand, so basically a machine in perfect condition is just ready for the junk yard, yea, thats the power of Apple quality.
    Anyway, ive been thinking about getting a Pro 2010-11 model, and first question, when did Pro come with TB interface?
    Second, is it possible to install a TB card so i can plug in my Imac 27 and use it as monitor only?
    Or, in general, is it possible to use my imac 27 as a monitor if the Pro has TB interface?

    the new Mac Pro (late 2013) is the first MacPro with TB

  • Is there a way to use a single bitmapdata for multiple images with GPU mode?

    With GPU mode is there a way to bring in a single 1024 X 1024 png containing all my sprites and then slice it up into multiple display objects all refering to the original BitmapData?
    I have an app that runs in GPU mode - but I want to optimize the image management.
    I am making three sets of images in the orders of 2048, 1024 and 512 px.
    The app is a book app and each page has around 4 to 5 bitmaps. I would like to bring in one single image and slice it up - but just refer to the original bitMapData in the memory.
    Is there a way to do this - e.g. using a masking technique?
    I think it is possible using textures in direct mode - but that is not an ideal solution for me - as the app is already in the appstore - and I would have to entirely refactor it for stage3D. Also I use very large bitmaps which have some masking animations applied to them dynamically: http://youtu.be/Nm0T1jLCTz8?t=42s
    Currently, I use jpgs and a jpeg mask file for each image which I composite to get the alpha - then I scale them.
    PNGs may be better for GPU - (no compositing) but they make for a huge app file.
    Now I am converting it to use diffent sized assets depending on the device, then scaling them if need, and then compositing them for apha.  What I was hoping was to find a technique that could reduce the number of bitmapdata objects used and reduce the operations in general. 
    Any thoughts on optimizing would be appreciated.  I can add my code here if it helps.

  • Is there a way to use one app spread across 2 displays with Mavericks?

    I use Premiere Pro CC (among other apps) and have that app set up in 2 monitors. It doesn't seem like Mavericks is going to like that so much. Is there a way to change the display back to how it used to behave?

    Yes this is the fix.  I was getting frustrated over this issue.  I use Dreamweaver across two minitors and the palette locations were resetting back to the main monitior where the app was.  This unchecking and a quick log out and back in fixes the issue.  Thank you!

  • TS2972 "select share" of home share on itunes - is home share an all or nothing share? Is there a way to use parent controls to share some portions with children's iphones?

    Is home share an all or nothing selection, or is there a way to "select share" with children's 5c iphones. Parent control feature to home share?
    Thanks in advance!

    I can't promise this works as I haven't tested this however on every iOS Device in the Settings app under General & Restrictions you have the ability to restrict a ton of options.
    Here's my two cents which you could try:
    On the iOS Device go to settings -> General -> Restrictions
    Go to the Music section, the TV Shows section, & Movies Section and select the appropriate rating you want your kids to have access to.
    After setting this up try accessing the home sharing and see if the content you want blocked still shows up on their devices.
    If the content still shows up then:
    On iTunes on your PC or Mac find the content you wish to block (Home Movies, Movies, TV Shows, Music, etc)
    Right click on the items you want blocked and change the rating (for example to R or NC-17). 
    I haven't tried this myself however on paper at least I think it should work.  If it does please report back and let everyone know and congrats on the new phones

  • Is there a way to use the eMac as an external monitor

    I haven't used my Emac for awhile, but my 17" powerbook is now having a serious display problem and I can't even see the log-in screen. I want to use the Emac as an external monitor or at least have sharing between the two machines. They are both using 10.4.11. What do I need to do to connect them?

    You need to connect them via ethernet or wirelessly, plus a product such as ScreenRecycler. Conventional video in isn't available on most Macs.

  • Is there a way to use a non-apple external display (monitor) without having my macbook air plugged in?

    Just got a 27'' AOC monitor that I'm using with my Macbook Air (purchased in 2013). It's working great but as soon as I unplug the power adapter from my laptop the monitor goes black and says 'no signal'. I've been reading online that you need to have the power adapter plugged in to use an external monitor - my questions are: 1) does that harm the laptop's batter? if so, 2) is there a workaround? if there is no workaround, 3) does an Apple monitor also require that a laptop be plugged in for the external display to continue functioning while the laptop is in clamshell mode (closed lid)?
    Thanks in advance for any advice

    Thanks, Matt. In my case, the monitor definitely shuts off when I unplug the power from my laptop in clamshell mode. If the lid is open, however, the monitor continues to function even without the power adapter plugged into my laptop. Ideally, I'd like to have the lid closed on my laptop and be able to use the external monitor without having the power plugged into my laptop. That's what doesn't seem to work - if your does, please let me know if you have any pointers.
    Thanks again!

  • Is there a way to use a T.V. as a monitor while searching the web?

    I would appreciate any ideas as the G3 iBook I have is great but the screen is a bit small. Thank you.

    Normally, the reason to hook the iBook up to a TV is to watch a DVD or streaming video on the TV, not to read text.
    Doug McLaughlin says:
    If you have a 600, 700, 800 or 900MHz G3 iBook with 16MB-32MB VRAM and no external reset button or a G4 iBook, you will need to use the Apple Video Adapter to get composite or s-video jacks for video out of your iBook. You will also need to buy a composite (RCA) video or s-video cable.
    The audio Y cable only does audio; you need a video cable, too. It doesn't have to be an expensive s-video cable. A cable which is used for hooking up videogames to a TV works just fine.
    The yellow port on the TV is the video-in port and on the adapter, the yellow port is the video-out, so plug the adapter into the iBook, plug the yellow plug on the video cable into the adapter and the yellow plug on the other end of the cable into the yellow port on your TV.
    Plug the audio Y cable into the headphone jack on the iBook and the two plugs on the opposite end into the audio-in ports on your TV, the red into red and the white into white.
    You likely need Video 1 on the TV, but may need to do a bit of experimenting.

  • Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

    I tried downloding WMP for Mac and also Flip4Mac but I could not install either because it said the programs don't support Intel based Mac's. I thought they would automatically run under Rosetta. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
    have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
    works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
    That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

  • Using a VGA monitor with Mac Pro: DVI to VGA adaptor cord & X1900 card

    I will be purchasing the MacPro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. However, I want to continue using my dual Viewsonic CRT screens till the end of the year until I make the leap to a new LCD display. I know Apple sells a DVI to VGA connector and in fact I believe it to be included as an accessory.
    Here is my question:
    The graphics card I am buying (the X1900) is designated as a DUAL LINK DVI. The Apple DVI to VGA adaptor cord has a DVI -I SINGLE LINK male connector. Will this DVI-I single link connector properly mate to the female dual link connector on the X1900 graphics card? If it will, I'm probably in business. If it won't, does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
    Many thanks, John

    The DVI to Video adaptor works on the Radeon, but not on the two Nvidia cards.
