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!

  • Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp ?

    Hallo guys, i have a big problem with installing Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp. No matter what i try i get a black screen after partitioning or get a message like " No bootable disk" or  " No System Disk availabe".
    My Mac has : OS X version 10.8.2, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB memory, 2.6 GHz Intel i7 and is only a week old
    My Boot Camp is version 5.0.1
    My Windows InstallingDVD is one year old now, i needed it to build a PC last year, hope that doesnt make a difference, its a full version, so not just for upgrading.
    From what i saw in the apple support it should work on my macbook. I hope someone can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, problem solved. I looked a bit more here in the questions and there was the answer and its quite simple.
    Somehow an USB-stick makes problems while Windows wants to install, i dont know why. So i just made everything over DVDs and now everything works fine.

  • Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server

    Hi There
    Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server in the same time?
    I am a small business and I was thinking of using the new mac pro for a new workstation on my studio and to also use it as a server for 5 work others stations. Is that possible? Or I am asking a bit to much work load to do for the Mac Pro?
    Can the Mac Pro can run under Window XP and Autocad and still be accessed by other workstation whilst working on the cad software? Is booth camp will slow the machine like Virtual PC?
    IS the MAc Pro can manage file hosting website with PHP and mySQL capabilites?

    Great question, but it appears the answer is no (at this time); they promise to work on it immediately. Check this thread at parallels.

  • Antivirus for iMac running Windows with Boot Camp

    I am running Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp. If I install an antivirus, will it protect me when I am logged into windows? Or do I need to install an additional antivirus when I am on Windows?

    You only need anti-virus protection for the Windows environment, though this will likely bring out a fire storm of debate.
    The most susceptible system is Windows so protect yourself there.

  • Can a mac running windows with Boot Camp be found by Find My iPhone

    I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp and I'm using the Find My iPhone iCloud app on my iPad. My MacBook Pro cannot be found by Find My iPhone, it's labeled as off-line, even though it's connected to the Internet.
    So my question is this: is there a way for Find My iPhone to see my Mac while running Windows. Note, I've already got iCloud for Windows installed on the Windows side of my MacBook Pro (and Find My Mac turned on on the Mac side, and while on the Mac side, it's always found, no problem.)

    When you iPhone is not connected to the Internet either through 3G/Wi-fi or because it is off then you cannot track it.
    If FindMyiPhone is enabled, even if the iPhone is off or not on wifi/3G, it will still show in FindMyiPhone under Devices, though it cannot be located.
    If it is not showing No Devices, FindMyiPhone is not enabled.
    If it does show in Devices and shows Offline, FindMyiPhone is enabled but it is off or not on wifi/3G.
    This is one way to remove the activation lock if you do not have the device. Delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

  • I have a MacBook 10.5.8 with Boot Camp. I can only operate the Windows side. When I move into MacOS it does not open.

    I have a MacBook 10.5.8 with Boot Camp. I can only operate the Windows side. When I move into MacOS it does not open.

    Your phrasing is not clear. How do you reboot into Mac OS? /can you describe the process step by step?
    Usually, you should do like this:
    - while in win, restart
    - immediately after chime, press option or alt key
    - wait for 2-3 seconds, you should see the boot options
    - select Mac OS partition
    If you have performed all these steps, and, after choosing Mac OS partition, you cannot boot into Mac OS, then your system is corrupt and should be reinstalled.

    Is it best to run Windows 7 in Boot Camp, or would it be better to use VMWare Fusion or similar? I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (OSX 10.6.8) and I also have a Dell laptop solely because one program that I need to use for work is only available for Windows. I would love to consolidate to my mac but am afraid installing Windows will ruin it!
    It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

  • How do I install Windows XP with boot camp assistant, on my IMac?

    How do I install Windows XP with boot camp assistant, on my IMac?

    Lion cannot BootCamp XP.
    You can install XP under virtual machine software (Parallels, VM Fusion, VirtualBox).
    And Windows 7 Pro has XP mode.  XP will requires probably days of pathing after install and will be completely unsupported by MS within 1 year, but Windows 7 Pro still has great support from MS.

  • Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4.  Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.  Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code.  Can not get it to upgrade.  Called Apple 2x.

    Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
    What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
    Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code.  Can not get it to upgrade.
    Did you follow the instructions found here?
    If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
    To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.
