  • Use laptop as second monitor for hp touchsmart 310-1020

    Product name: HP TouchSmart 310-1020 PC.
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    Can I use my laptop as a second monitor for my HP? It doesn't have an hdmi port, so is there any software or converters someone suggests?

    Sorry to say, but it won't be possible - any video ports on your notebook will be output only.
    Actually that's not what the OP asked, and it's incorrect since you're not answering the question he asked. There are software packages out there that will let the OP do what they want between multiple PCs. Multiplicity by Stardock is a quick example http://www.stardock.com/products/multiplicity/ and it's only $30

  • How do I connect an older imac to my new imac to use as a second monitor?

    Hi !
    I was wondering if it were possible to  connect an older imac to my new imac to use as a second monitor?
    My older imac is from 2006. The new one is a 2012 imac.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Look this article over, the key is to connect either mini display port or thunderbolt and using CMD+F2, let me know if this helps or if it doesn't work out. I'll find another solution if this doesn't work Joel ^_^

  • Use imac as second monitor

    I understand this can be done in some previous generations, and am just not sure whether it works in my situation.
    I have a MacBook Pro (2009) and a brand new iMac 27" (2011). It seems that MBP has a mini displayport and iMac has 2 thunderbolt ports. I am curious whether I can use iMac as second monitor for my MBP. If possible, which cable should I use, a mini displayport-to-mini displayport cable from Belkin or thunderbolt-to-thunderbolt cable from Apple.

    You can't except through a product such as ScreenRecycler. The iMac's Thunderbolt port won't accept video from a non-Thunderbolt source.

  • Macbook Pro running Windows with Boot Camp, wanting to use iMac as second monitor.

    I am using a Macbook Pro that is running Windows with Boot Camp. I want to connect it to my iMac so that I can use the iMac as a second monitor. 
    If it is not possible, I also have a TV that I could use using an HDMI, however when I tried this my Macbook Pro running Windows 8.1 did not detect it in the Display Settings.
    What are my options? I just want to use my iMac or TV as a second monitor!!
    Any help is appreciated, tMachanks!

    See if your equipment qualifies:

  • Looking for cheap but good second monitor

    Hi all, I use my Mac Pro mainly for recording/mixing music. Looking for a new, smaller (15''-17'') seccondary monitor for functions like MINI editing, plugin tweaking, etc. Any recommendations?

    Try EIZO monitors, good value for not so much money.

  • 24" imac, can this be used as a second monitor

    Hi All,
    I have a 2007 iMac and on the verge of buying a new Mac Pro Desktop.
    So i was wondering if I can use this imac as the monitor for the New Mac Pro.
    This will save me money for buying the new monitor. Can some1 pls be able to tell me how this would work?
    Many thanks,
    Apurva Shah

    Only Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and Mid 2011 and newer iMacs can be used as an external screen with Target Display mode, so your Mac is not compatible.
    However, you can use an application like ScreenRecycler to use the iMac as an external display through the network. You just need that both Macs are connected to the same network

  • Laptop as 2nd monitor

    A bit strange, but... I've got a new mac pro tower w/ a 23" Apple cinema display... by chance is there a way to connect my old Titanium laptop to the second (empty) video port in order to use the Titanium LCD as my menu monitor while I retouch on the main cinema display screen?
    Thanks in advance.

    It is technically possible.
    There are a few windows only solutions available (see http://www.maxivista.com/ for example), but X has supported this via xdmx (http://dmx.sourceforge.net/) for quite some time now. See this article as well: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/os-mltihed/index.html
    Not sure if an osx port exists for xdmx, but a quick google for "use laptop as second monitor" returns a lot of results.
    Not saying it's a practical solution, just that it is possible.

  • Use as second monitor

    Can the Ipad be used as a second monitor. Attaching it to my powerbook for business presentations and production on the go.

    Wow, the iDisplay seems pretty cool. However I would imagine that the iPad wouldn't make a very functional second display. I would just spring for a second monitor and set up a second display that way. Using the iPad as your second monitor is just going have lag time as it is all wireless. Also what use is having a multi-touch device when you're using it in a way that doesn't utilize its touch capacity.

  • Use a second monitor on a iMac G5 without iSight.

    I'm wanting to use a second monitor with my iMac G5.
    My iMac doesn't have Front Row or the iSight camera. It's the G5.
    I know that I need a cable that's the Mini-DVI.
    But the problem is that my monitor I would like to use as a second monitor doesn't connect through S-Video, it connects through a VGA. Is there another adaptor?
    What do I need?
    Pardon, if I have posted this message on the wrong area of the forum.
    Any links, suggestions, ideas, or anything would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I know that I need a cable that's the Mini-DVI.
    Actually that's wrong. You need the Mini-VGA to VGA adapter, referred to in the Apple Store as the "Apple VGA Display Adapter".
    I trust that you are aware that your iMac officially only supports video mirroring, so that any external monitor you connect will show the same picture, at the same resolution, as your iMac's internal screen?
    BTW, for future questions, I'd suggest you try asking in the iMac G5 area. This forum is for the new Intel-based iMac and so perhaps not the most likely place for you to get a quick and accurate response.
    Good luck.

  • Can photos be viewed on a second monitor while being edited?

    I have the use of a second monitor (better screen resolution) when using my laptop to edit photos.  Is it possible (in PSE 9) to use the second monitor to view the photo as I edit, but keep the editing tools on the laptop monitor.  This would maximise the size of the image that can be viewed.  Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply, 99jon.
    I can set up the second monitor either as a copy of the laptop monitor (not ideal) or as an extension of my laptop monitor.  This being so, how can I get the image across to the external monitor?  Can it be "dragged and dropped" or is there some other way?

  • New ENVY PC is not sending signal to second monitor. Need a fix.

    Hi everyone, how do I get a second monitor to work on a new HP ENVY H8 1420T with Windows 8. As far as I can tell the PC recognizes the second monitor but no signal is received/sent at/to the second monitor. This model has two DVI ports, the second, I presume, both are for monitors. The second DVI connector requires an adapter for the VGA connector from the monitor.
    Thanks for your help

    Have you tested if there's a signal if you use only the second monitor at boot up?
    And you don't have a additional graphics card installed, right?

  • Using Laptop screen as second monitor?

    Hey gusy,
    I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro.  With the Mac Pro I have just the one screen - used to have two, but now just the one as I rarely need it.  However, for a job I'm doing at the moment, it would be handy to have the use of two screens.  Do you know if it's possible to hook both computers up and use the LapTop screen as a second monitor for my Mac Pro?

    Then it seems you can't use your LapTop as a second monitor for Mac Pro.
    An external monitor would seem to be the least cost path to more display.
