Using a macbook pro as a second display for an imac using a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable

I know I can use TDM to use an imac as a second display for a MBP with a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable. Is there any work around to use a MBP as a second display for an imac with a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable?
15" MBP w/retina running maverick 10.9.4
21" imac running maverick 10.9.4

No; the MacBook Pro doesn't support video in. If desired, use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network.

How to add 2 Additional Monitor into my iMAC using ONE Thunderbolt

1. I would like to attach 2 units of Samsung 27" which supports maximum resolution of 1920 by 1080 into a single Thunderbolt. How should I do that?
2. As my other Thunderbolt is kept for Storage purpose and my Firewire is used to plugin my external sound card.
Any good suggestions
and please suggest me that, whether the performance quality of the picture on the both Samsung 27" will be compromised or not?? Will I have exact quality as in my iMac or different?
What kind of cable should I buy.
My Samsung monitor supports HDMI and DVI Input.
All together I will be having 3 monitors (iMac, Samsung , Samsung)

DanStan, Welcome to the discussion area!
FYI, this is the discussion area for the iMac G4.
The iMac G4 does not have a mini-DVI output.

Macbook pro 2012 as second screen for imac 2013 via thunderbolt cable

Hello,
I was wondering wether it is possible to use my macbook as a second screen for my imac using a thunderbolt cable.
I want to use my imac as primary mac because the specs are better.
Thanks

Most new monitors will support standard DVI and VGA connections. Some may support Mini-DVI ports. That's about all I can tell you.
As for other factors I would look at monitor reviews - as many as you can - for the size and resolutions in which you are interested. There are a lot of products out there. You might try first doing a Google search to learn more about the meanings of the various specs the manufacturers provide so you might wade through the smoke and mirrors in search of meaningful information.

How to play PS3 on new iMac?(imac as a display)

Hey All,
I bought the new iMac on late 2012, it's a 27" one, it only has thunderbolt ports, no mini display ports like the older ones
Altough I'm too busy I'd love to play PS3 once and while, just too lazy to hook up with a huge TV, so I'm wondering
how do I play PS3 with my iMac? I'd like to know what kind of other equipments/cables I need to buy with this new iMac
Much appreciated!
Roger

You can't do that. Macs with Thunderbolt ports can only be used as an external display for other Macs with Thunderbolt. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
Unfortunately, the Target Display mode of the iMac only works with Thunderbolt (in the case of Macs with Thunderbolt) or Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cables, so it's not compatible with any adapters. As a PlayStation 3 hasn't got a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort connector, you can't connect it to the iMac

Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

How can I watch a DVD playing on my iMac on my TV using Apple TV?

You can't. The only way is to transfer the movie to your computer and import to iTunes (making sure it is compatible) and either use home-sharing or airplay the movie off an ios device.

You do have Firewire 800 and it seems plenty fast for most use. Easy to install and the cradles allow for multiple disks swapping or daisey chain for multiple cradles.

I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use?

I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use? My 2006 iMAC is showing it's age but I figure I can use it as just a monitor just fine. Assuming I can connect the two together.

That older iMac isn't designed to receive video input through the mini-DVI connection. Only certain newer iMacs are able to be used as displays.
Your only options are to use something like ScreenRecycler mentioned above.

Why can't I use a Thunderbolt iMac as a screen for an TV or a gaming console?

Is there any hopes for a device/adapter that would make it possible to use an Thunderbolt-equipped iMac as a screen for other devices? It worked with DisplayPort, why wouldn't it work with Thunderbolt? Is it just a business political decision?

Can I boot into a PC laptop on an iMac using Bootcamp through a eSATA to Thunderbolt connection? Work forces you to use their computers, but it would be nice to use an iMac and extra displays while at home.

Set up a VNC connection between the computers.

How to play itunes music library from iMac using apple remote? Can only use my iPhone as a REMOTE to play on itunes to Apple TV!!

how can i how can I play itunes library on my IPHONE4 from IMAC using APPLE REMOTE? I can only use my iPhone 4 as a REMOTE to play itunes from IMac to APPLE TV.

You cannot. The remote app is exclusively for remotely controlling an apple tv for playback of a library on your computer. If you want to play your computer's music on your iPhone you just use home sharing on both devices and play the music in the Music app on your phone, not using the Remote app on your phone.

s it possible to use a new iMAC 2011 (with thunderbolt port) as a passive screen with a Macbook (MacBook5,1 - End 2008) ?

No, you would need to upgrade the MacBook to a 2011 MacBook Pro that also has Thunderbolt.

HT4889 Hi. I`ve just started transferring from my old Imac to a new Macbook, using the WIFI. But I realize it will take days to get it done. Can I cancel the process, and start over again using the thunderbolt port? Without causing any trouble?
