New iMac supports dual display!

I think the single coolest thing about the new iMacs is that it now supports Extending the desktop, rather than just mirroring it, to an external display. I can't believe more noise wasn't made about this feature in the keynote. This is huge and will without a doubt cause me to switch to a Mac for my next purchase!
Sweeet!

you could easily enable extended desktop on the g5 version of imac. i believe the software that enables it is called screen spanning doctor and its free

  • Will new iMac support an additional Thunderbolt 27" display?

    I'm thinking about getting a new iMac 27", but would like to have dual monitors.  Will the new iMac support an additional 27" Thunderbolt monitor?

    The additional TBD is thinner and a different hight. I believe the stand alone display will reflect more background light and look different than the iMac.
    I am weighting for the stand alone displays to match the 27' iMac in both height and reflectiveness

  • When support After Effects Ray-traced 3D the GPU of the new iMac with retina display (GPU: AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB)?

    I would like to know whether After Effects CC Ray-traced 3D support the GPU of the new iMac with retina display.

    It never will. This is nVidia-exclusive technology and the whole things is deprecated, anyway. You better learn to use Cineware, buy a 3D program like Pro Animator or Element 3D or learn a proper 3D program.

  • New iMac with Retina display has attracted a group of ants. Why?

    New iMac with Retina Display has attracted a group of ants to nest in it, while they ignore my old Macbook Pro. What is in the new laptop that attracts the ants? The Apple Support set me up with an appointment at an Apple Store and the Apple Store says it is Apple policy not to touch it with the Ants in it. Wasted 2.5 hours in travel time and in the store with no solution.

    Its the electrical charges that attract them, they sense them as other critters to eat / talk with 
    the swarm of tiny DC power fields inside a computer, and the charges across the screen attract insects that have EM sensors on their exoskeletons. Its a come hither spotlight for insect critters.

    If you want them out, which of course you do.......make a sugar trap for them.... a trail from the computer to a little pile.  One screams the treasure to the others, .....they all come running, then you brush them away, or some other insidious method.

  • Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?

    Does 10.5.6 Support Dual displays for Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition cards?
    And is there driver updates for anyone using the all-in-ones HP printers...has anyone been able to use their scanners since the update? and has the dual screen support been added to avoid the blue screen on startup?

    The ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac edition 256 MB should work in the MDD G4. It has two DVI ports (one is dual-link and can support a 30" display). You will need adapters for ADC displays.

  • New iMac 2 extra displays running bootcamp

          I am looking to get a new iMac, but would like to know if external displays are supported when running bootcamp. (You may see where I am going here), PC gaming with flight sims. Optimal would be to use 2 Apple displays connected via Thunderbolt, (but not necessary to be Thunderbolt).
         Any experience with this setup???? Thanks for your reply.

    Probably late reply... Anyhow: no, atm windows is not properly supporting thunderbolt, thus you can run only one additional monitor in bootcamp (a shame, i cannot run iracing with a triple display setup!)

  • Help - new iMac 5k not displaying retina resolution after migration from older iMac?

    Hello all,
    I have just recently purchased and started up a new iMac 27" 5K iMac.  Upon startup I took a look at the display settings to play with the different options for optimizing screen real estate.  I noticed that the default setting for the new iMac is labeled as "default retina" and when you mouse over this setting a line appears that says "looks like 5120 x 2880".
    An hour later I migrated my files and settings over from my previous iMac (27" late 2012) but noticed that when I go into display preferences it no longer has exactly the same options.  Now the default setting is simply listed as "default" (not "default retina" as before the migration) and the line that appears states "looks like 2560 x 1440", which was the resolution of the older iMac.
    I am unable to figure out how to revert back to the retina display options.
    Has this happened to anyone else?  Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Warren

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • New iMac as second display for MacBook Pro not working

    I just bought the new thin 2012 27" iMac as a replacement to the last model I had.
    I want to use the iMac as a second display for my 2012 MacBook Pro.
    I have a Mini Display Port to Mini Display Port cable that used to work with my previous setup and at work with my external display.
    However, this isn't working on the new iMac. When I try the Command + F2 suggestion I've seen in the forums here. Nothing happens.
    Do I need a new cable now that these are "thunderbolt" connections?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Demetre

    You will most likely need a Thunderbolt cable as they are both Thunderbolt devices and not Mini DisplayPort.

  • Does the new imac support 3D movie play?

    I was wondering if the newest iMac can play 3D movies, like the new 3d blue ray/3D tv can, anyone knows about this?

    There were two sources. One was the Apple iMac descriptions themselves and the other is the much more detailed info available on everymac.com .
    Everymac.com clearly states the current iMacs support audio output from the miniDisplayPort, however when I rechecked Apple's website today, there is no mention of it in the current iMac tech specs.
    So, this is, at a minimum, inconsistent information, and doesn't actually confirm one way or another whether or not the current iMacs support audio over the mDP.
    On the other hand, Apple have 2 KB documents about this topic - TS3065 and HT4241 which state that audio output from the mDP is only supported on:
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010)
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
    iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
    iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
    Mac mini (Mid 2010)
    MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010)
    Interesting that the latest iMacs are not mentioned, but I believe both articles predate the latest models.
    I understand this is not as definitive as I believed it was when I wrote my original post.
    What mDP-HDMI adapter are you using and what device are you connecting to?

  • New iMacs and second display

    I'm looking at getting a new 20" iMac and looking at both versions. My main concern is that I already have an older Apple 20" cinema display (the kind with 2 plastic legs) that I want to hook up as a second, extended desktop monitor.
    The first iMac has an ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory. Can this run a second 20" display or will there be significant slowdown?
    The more expensive iMac has an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory. Clearly this is better with more memory but will there be a huge difference that I would notice in every day use, enough to warrant the extra cost?
    I don't do any videos or 3d rendering, I work in Photoshop and Illustrator a lot on 2d graphics, sometimes pretty large but hardly ever over 200 MB.

    I have the 24" imac intel duo 2.4, tried running my apple ADC 15" via the ADC to DVI converter that I used to use on my G5. The converter is more or less a power supply but it requires that you plug into a computer USB (not on a hub, even a powered one) port. This started making the imac act wierd and during a disk verification, it came up with several USBF errors, locked up a few times with the spinning beach ball. I disconnected the display and usb plug and everything works just fine. I also have a ADC 20" cinema that has superb color and is the closest thing to the press we print on. Even tho I try to do things by the numbers, it's nice to have a calibrated screen and the new imacs (even with custom profile) is still off. I'm sad that I won't be able to have the extended desktop until i either buy a dvi version or a new 20 from apple ($500 refurb). Anyone have any experience using the converter successfully?

  • Will new imac support DDR3L memory

    My new iMac came with 8GB of memory and I want to upgrade it to 32GB. Does Ivy Bridge support the lower voltage chipsets like what OWC sells. I have usedOWC memory on my MBP's for years without a problem. Suggestions??

    What does OWC say about DDR3L in your iMac?

  • Will the new iMac support FCStudio2?

    This may be a dumb question, but I did a search on the forums, and they talked about only G4s and G5s.
    The Apple web site confuses me; it says "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card" is needed, but the iMac has an "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory."
    Does that mean FCStudio2 can be installed only on a G5, where you can install different graphics cards?

    Hi, I have had pretty good experiences using the new iMac (2.4GHZ, 20" screen, 2GB memory, ATI 256MB videocard) with FCStudio2. Below details my experience.
    Final Cut Pro: works great, everything is pretty smooth and it hasn't failed me yet (most likely you will be limited to working with DV footage however, as you can't add a standalone capture card for HD).
    DVD Studio Pro: works great with no problems
    Compressor: when I am doing large batch exports, it is noticeably slower than my tower (to the extent that I just do them overnight).
    Motion: works fine if you work with files with a small duration; doesn't run as smooth as my tower
    Soundtrack Pro: works great
    Color: I've been tinkering with this program. Seems to run fine, but I am no expert in it.
    Hope this helps!
