New iMac and 2nd Monitor

is it possible to connect a regular monitor (HDMI) to the new iMac?
If not, is there some other way to use two monitors?

You could use a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter

  • New iMac loses 2nd monitor

    My new Imac 21 - i7 - Lion - dual monitor (connected with thund-hdmi adaptor) has a strange behavior.
    Everything works fine, but when the system goes in power saving mode, on coming back sometimes the second monitor becomes gray (working but no wallpaper), sometimes comes back normally, but ALWAYS all applications windows goes back to the main imac monitor.
    I've tried to switch of the 2nd monitor and the behavior is the same. So is not a power saving problem.
    It seems that the imac always autodetect monitor situation on the fly and moves windows back to the main monitor.
    The problem is that the "moving windows back function" seem to be faster than monitor detection.
    Is there a way to say to lion: "I always have two monitor, please don't change"?!?
    thank you for help.

    I suspect it may be the adapter.  I would recommend trying the one Apple recommends here or trying another connections such as a VGA or DVI assuming the monitor has that type of connection.

  • Brand New iMac and Linksys WAG54G v2 - WEP but not WPA

    Hi All
    I have a brand new iMac and a Linksys WAG54G v2 wireless network hub;
    I have set up the network with no encryption and everything works
    I have set up the network with WEP encryption and everything works
    I have set up the network with WPA encryption and everything works (PCs and printers) except my new iMac.
    Occasionally it works (1 in 50) but mostly it fails with the message "There was an error joining the AirPort network "<name of SSID>".
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/fix this?
    Thanks

    I'm guessing my failures might be due to one of two problems; inability to find the router or connection timeouts; does anyone know how to monitor/snoop this connection and/or fix this problem?

  • I have a new Imac and connected a VGA projector

    We have a new imac and have connected it to a VGA projector and have purchased a mini VGA convertor cable from the apple store, but now it changes the resolution once you change monitor in the system folder to mirrow. This is the only way we can get it to work. This there a problem with OS Lion.

    You can disable it as a desktop in System Preferences > MIssion control > uncheck "Show Dashboard as a space".

  • Can I hook up an early 2011 macbook pro to a new iMac AND another thunderbolt display?

    I want to get a new iMac, and I have an early 2011 macbook pro.  Can I use a two-way thunderbolt cable to hook these two up?  If so, will I still be able to use full functionality on both as I move windows to and from one of them?  (Like, I use my macbook track pad to move a safari window over to my iMac, and then I can either use my iMac mouse or my macbook's trackpad to do things with that safari window.
    ALSO, is it possible to hook up an additional thunderbolt display to all of this?  Basically my end-goal is to have a macbook pro hooked up to an iMac with an additional thunderbolt display, that's my "dream set-up" which will make a lot of stuff that I do a lot easeir and less crowded on one moniter.

    no the thunderbold display thing would let you use the imac as a monitor for the macbook apart from acting the role of display the imac would be dorment so a very pricy monitor

  • HT3696 How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

    How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

    Sorry to reopen an old post, but I've just purchased a 2nd hand late-2013 iMac (or so thats what the seller said).
    I'm always sceptical though, and just wanted to know if there is a way to check if my iMac is indeed the late-2013 model that included Haswell?
    I've attached screenshots of the About This Mac section hoping it may help shed some light.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    PS - I can't compare to the iMac specs link you posted above because its now showing the late-2014 models.

  • Problems with new iMac and Adobe Creative Suite 2

    Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I am a Graphic Design student and just bought Adobe Creative Suite2. I installed it on my new iMac, and it wouldn't open InDesign or Photoshop although I had no problems with Acrobat and Illustrator. A pop-up window stated that the program "unexpectedly quit". I have uninstalled and reinstalled three times and was on hold with Adobe Tech Support for three hours until I finally gave up. If anyone knows what's going on I would appreciate it!

    I dragged the installer from the install disk to my desktop and was more successful in installing problem CS2 apps. Make sure to update everything as well. Some times it takes a restart to get the finickiness out of PS.

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

  • How do I uninstall Mavericks and recover Lion?  I have a brand new iMac and web pages stall or freeze since I installed Mavericks.  I can't get it to download software for my printer when I connect it.

    I have a brand new iMac.  It was working fine until I downloaded Mavericks.  Now I have web pages that freeze while trying to load.  The blue in the address bar stalls and freezes.  If I try to load from page 1 to a later page, or reverse that, I also have the same problem.  I tried to connect my printer for the first time, and again, the blue progress bar froze.  Then I got the yellow  triangle telling me there was a connection problem.  My internet connection is via an Air Card as that is my only option where I live.  I packed up the whole new iMac and took it to my Air Card provider, where they also have very fast Wifi, and they had the same problem with Wifi.  I use my Air Card with my MacBook and it works JUST GREAT!  I really want to return to Lion.  HELP.

    The only way to retutn to Lion is to format your drive (erase, lose all) and either:
    1. clone back the clone copy i hoep you have, or
    2. first backup your files, then format and install Lion again
    But really, mavericks works great. You have a problem. Find out why. First, what unusual software do oyu have installed that may be conflicting with it? Virus, system modifiers, etc?  Second what OLD software do you have that might be the problem.  finally, you might need to do a re-install if something errored during install.

  • I'm thinking of  buying one of the new Imacs and am presently a PC user - how hard is it or how can I transfer files from my PC to a new IMac

    I am thinking about purchasing a new IMac and presently use a PC.  I would like to find out how difficult it is to transfer files from the PC to the IMac or in more detail - just how is it done.  Many thanks for any responses.

    There are several ways by which it can be done. There is a special Migration Assistant for transferring an entire user account from a PC to the Mac. You would have to establish a network connection between the two machines.
    Transfer the files you want to an external USB hard drive from the PC then transfer from the external drive to the Mac.
    Ask the Apple retailer if they will transfer your data to the new Mac at the time of purchase. You will need to bring the PC with you.

  • My wife and I each have an iTunes account. We just got a new iMac, and we want to merge our accounts into the main machine and use them together on our iPhones and ipad2.

    My wife and I each have an itunes account. We just got a new imac, and want to put all of our media on it. Can we share songs and media from two diffrent accounts on the imac, our iphones, and the ipad2?

    Decide which device will be changing accounts.  On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

  • I bought a new iMac, and i have CC on my old iMac and my laptop. since i'm only authorized to use 2 computers, how do i transfer the license off of my old cdesktop ompuetr to my new one

    how do i transfer a cc license from my old desktop iMac to my new one? i use cc on my laptop as well

    Hi Rose,
    You just have to run one of the CC applications on your old iMac and do a "sign out" (on windows this is in the e.g. Photoshop "Help" menu, can't remember for Mac)...which warns you that you can't use CC apps on that computer anymore.
    Then install CC on your new iMac and log in to it. You will then have to use the CC app to install photoshop etc on your new iMac.

    As you have discovered... you cannot use the install discs from another Mac...
