Use 23" apple monitor as second monitor with 27" imac

I've just bought a 27" imac, and I want to connect the 23" apple monitor from my old system to it as a second monitor.
The 23" has a huge cable with firewire and usb connectors as well as a multipin connector. How can I link it up?

Hello,
I have seen people use the expensive DVI-ADC converter with an MDP-> DVI cable.

Cheaper ADC to DVI converter won't work.
Then you need an MDP to DVI adapter...

How to use an iPad as a second monitor with Bluetooth?

I know there are several apps that will allow me to use my iPad as a second monitor over my wifi connection. But is there a way to us it over blue tooth or with a special cord?
Thanks!

I use a projector as a second monitor for a desk top. When the shutter is closed it is hard to minimize or exit a window. I would like to use my iPad as an additional second monitor so I can tell what I am doing.

Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

Hey everybody,
I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly

If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.

Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
<http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.

Using a TV as a second monitor

I'm trying to use a TV as a second monitor (for watching movies) with Windows through Boot Camp (netflix instant play isn't support in Mac yet). When I plug in the mini-DVI adapter with the yellow video cable, my screen goes blank for a moment and comes back on but nothing happens on the TV. I've tried updating the nVidia and ATI drivers in Windows, but they won't install properly. My System Profiler says I'm running Intel GMA x3100 graphics. I've tried what I can think of and what I've read. Can anyone offer advice?

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Can I use an apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

How do I use my apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

I did all that you suggest before and it didn't work. So I waited a bit and tried again and it finally worked. Not sure what the problem was as I didn't do anything differently.
Thank you for all your help.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the thunderbolt port on their Mac Mini's regarding using it to connect a second monitor? I've got the Mini Display Port to DVI-D adapter along with a DVI-D cable and I can't get an image on the second monitor.

I had an dual display image / setup working twice for a few seconds, but then it cut out. I think there may be a problem with the thunderbolt port.

As far as I can tell you have only listed that you have a DVI monitor connected to the Mini Displayport socket (i.e. the Thunderbolt socket) via presumably the Apple Mini Displayport to DVI adapter and a DVI to DVI cable.
You don't appear to have listed what the second monitor is and how it is connected (even though not working). As such I cannot tell what may be wrong.

Question about using an older television as second monitor

I have the late 2006 iMac 24 listed below (Core 2 Duo) and would like to connect a standard television as a second monitor. The telly has (2) S-video ports and the usual RCA-type plugs. Are linkages available to allow this with my iMac? If so, could you direct me to the proper components? Will audio be available to me, as well? Can I acquire the components locally (Radio Shack, CC, BB, etc.)? Thanks for your assistance.

Hi jjsea
To connect a TV using S-video or Composite (yellow) cable you will need the M9319G/A Mini-DVI to Video adapter, which may be available at some BestBuy's.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A
The iMac's Mini DVI port does not support the Audio, that will have to come from your Headphone jack using a separate RCA (red & white) cable and an adapter like the one in the next link:

or an adapter/cable like the next one:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=31700&doy=19m2
I'm using this same set-up and it works great for watching all types of DVD movies, Q-Time movies, YouTube videos, iPhoto slideshows and more, but the set-up is a little rough for working in text documents.

Use composite input tv as second monitor

Hello,
Does anyone know how I would go about using a tv with RCA connections as a second monitor? I get how to do it with the mini-dvi to vga for expanded desktop but I don't think the mini-dvi to video adapter allows for expanded mode - I think it only mirrors.
Thanks!...WG

The Mini DVI to Video adapter allows either mirroring or extended desktop mode.
You probably already know this but OS X doesn't look very good over composite video.

How do I use my iPad as a second screen with my macbook pro?

I've got splashtop streamer for my ipad. In school my computer teacher has two monitors and she is able to drag stuff from one screen to the other. If i was streaming to my ipad, how could i use it as a second screen? and how could I do this with any old monitor?
BTW if you dont know splashtop streamer, it is a software that lets you stream content from a computer or laptop to a wireless device, such as an iPad.

Splashtop only has the ability to mirror your Mac's single screen. It does not let your iPad work as a second screen.
You need an app that is designed to turn your iPad into a real second monitor.
I use Air Display to move all of my pallets to one screen when I am working with my graphics programs on my Mac. I keep my iPad connected to my iMac to keep it charged while I am using my iPad in this manner.

Shadows of 1st monitor on second monitor.

Hello!
I just "upgraded" my setup from macmini to mbp. Which means I'm new to 2 screen setup, that I have now on my table. There are some really annoying things about it. As I use laptop in front of my cinema display I have laptop screen on the bottom and cinema display above it. I'm running LogicPro from the edge of the screen to another edge of the screen (not fullscreen mode). And when I have some other application on the display of the laptop it has terrible looking shadow from my main monitor on it. Is there a way to disable the shadows going from one monitors windows to another monitor? I undestand that shadows only appear to the active application's windows but they don't look and feel nice.

Window > Arrange and right at the bottom New window for (your file name)
You can drag this across to the second monitor, and work on either window. The results will be reflected in the other window. You can have each window at different zoom levels, so It's a useful trick for seeing an overall result of making a local edit while zoomed in.
Note: if your dual monitor workspace has panels open on the second screen, they will obscure the new window. So you would need to change the workspace back to something like Essentials.

I am using an Apple TV in a hotel with free wi-fi, the Apple TV automatically detected the wi-fi network, and I'm am signed in to the Apple iTunes Store, but the screen continues to show cannot connect to iTunes Store!

I am using a newly purchased Apple TV in a hotel room that has free wi-fi, the Apple TV has detected the network automatically, I am signed in to the Apple iTunes Store, using my Apple ID, and password, but the screen always says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

Try streaming other content.
If the hotel's network requires login via webpage then it won't actually be connected and you will need to contact the provider to gain access.
