Using iMac as display for Xbox One

I have the latest iMac
http://www.apple.com/uk/imac/specs/
Would there be any way I could connect the new XBox One to the iMac screen and use it as a display?
Here is the rear of the Xbox one, anybody have a idea?
Many thanks

You cannot. Target Display mode only works with other Macs. There are exceptions with Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs that could be used as an external display for some PCs, but nothing else.
There's an adapter that allows you to connect a Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 to one of those iMacs and use them as an external display, but it does not work with Thunderbolt iMacs like yours. In conclusion, you cannot use the iMac as an external display for the Xbox One

  • Using iMac as display for Windows 7 (thunderbolt to thunderbolt)

    I currently have a 27-inch Mid 2011 iMac running OS X Yosemite, and my company has issued me a Lenovo W540 that is running Windows 7 and has a thunderbolt port (not mini-display -- yes, I'm sure).
    I have spend countless hours trying to use my iMac as a display for my laptop, but have had no luck. When I plug the iMac into the laptop, my laptop does recognize my iMac as a "Base System Device", but when I go to the System Information on my iMac it recognizes that a cable is connected, but says there is "No device connected" to my Thunderbolt ports, and attempting Target Display Mode (Cmd + F2) has no effect. So, has anybody ever gotten this to work? Is there a separate set of drivers that I need to install on my Windows laptop to recognize my iMac as a display?
    I have done virtually hundreds searches on this, and haven't found anything that relates to my specific case. Is this simply not supported? I appreciate any help that can be provided!

    Hello Allan,
    I appreciate your response. I have read that a Mac running Windows with Bootcamp can use TDM, so I expected it would be a matter of installing proper drivers, but, unless anybody else has had some success, I think I'm about ready to admit defeat.
    I appreciate you proposing a software solution, however, ScreenRecycler only supports using a Windows PC as another display, not the other way around. I did play around with a couple other software solutions, but none of these solutions would work well once my work PC is connected to VPN.
    I guess I'll continue to work off a small laptop screen while a giant 27-inch screen on the same desk goes unused. Very frustrating.

  • Can I use iMac as display for new mac mini?

    can I hook my early 2008 24" Core 2 Duo iMac to a new Mac Mini to use as a display?
    I love the display, but my iMac is getting too slow, even with the maximally upgraded RAM to 4 GB.  I don't want to get rid of my iMac, so I was thinking of buying a Mac Mini to attach it.
    I'm worried that the OS X Yosemite will make my iMac even slower.
    Any suggestions? 
    Nick

    Not without a standalone monitor; that iMac doesn't support video in.

  • Use iMac as monitor for xbox?

    so i've got a iMac and and xbox 360
    i noticed there's a mini-DVI port on the iMac
    is there any way to hook the xbox up to the iMac so it acts like a monitor?

    Those are good points, Rich - thanks for your input.
    Considering the price of the EyeTV alone, I should put the $$$ towards a good LCD with quick refresh rate.
    I actually already have my xbox 360 hooked up to a CRT, and the high definition is awesome. But no matter what adjustments I make, it's still on the dark side - sometimes TOO dark to enjoy.
    It's a shame that I have this iMac with a beautiful bright display that I can't take advantage of. ARGHHHH

  • Using iMac as display for laptop PA

    I have a work laptop connected to a docking station that I would like to send video over to my 2012 iMac.  Is this possible?  The docking station has ports for VGA, DVI, and displayport and I need to find out a way to get the image from there to the iMac's mini displayport/thunderbolt. 

    Some Mac with DisplayPort/Thunderbolt support "Target Display Mode", which allows a Mac to become a dumb monitor for another DisplayPort/Thunderbolt capable computer.  Not sure if your Mac supports "Target Display Mode" or not.  Also not sure if your PC will send the correct signals to enable that.
    <Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support>
    You could use Microsoft's Remote Desktop software from your Mac to display the PC's desktop on your Mac (I assume the PC is Windows based).

    There is a software product called Screen Recycler that may be able to make the Mac into a monitor for the PC

  • How to use the second display for installation OS in my vertical lines iMac

    My 17" iMac display is full of vertical lines, it is unuseable. Does anyone know how to use the second display for Mac OS X or disable the first display for installation Mac OS x ?

    Go to: *System Preferences > Displays* and select the Arrangement tab, then relocate your Menu bar by dragging it to the other display.
    Unfortunately there is no Hardware or Software switch to turn off the iMac's Internal Display.

  • Can I hook up my Dell Latitude for using iMac as display?

    the Dell has VGA & HDMI so I wonder if it will work using a Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI-adapter or similar?

    If I understood you, you want to use your iMac as a display for the Dell Latitude.
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302 27-inch iMacs and iMacs with Thunderbolt ports can be used as a display, and Apple says that this feature works only for other Macs.
    That's not exact and that's not the truth because an iMac can be used as a display for PCs, but the PC must have a DisplayPort or a Thunderbolt port. If your PC hasn't got DisplayPort, you can't use the iMac as a display

  • Is kinect for xbox one can use kinnect sdk below 1.8?

    hello, i'm trying to develop some software with kinect. 
    and I've heard that kinect for xbox one 's hardware is pretty better than old one.
    but tech page says nothing about older sdk below 1.8.
    I know that sdk 2.0 is better than old ones.
    but I have some problem with windows 8 and 8.1 (I'm using windows 7 now)
    anyway, my point of Q is this
    : is kinect for xbox one is supported by kinect sdk 1.8 or below?

    No. 
    Kinect for Windows v2/Kinect for XBox One only support the Kinect SDK v2+

    I know that the new iMac has a thunderbolt display ports, and my macbook pro does not.

  • Kinect for Windows v2 vs Kinect for Xbox One

    I have found the official page (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/meetkinect/features.aspx) that
    describes the hardware specifications for Kinect
    for Windows v2. But I cannot seem to find the hardware specification for Kinect
    for Xbox One. I just want to know if there is any difference in hardware specification between these two devices
    and if there are features, that are supported by the SDK 2.0 only for specific version?

    Actually there is one slight difference with IR, as found here:

  • Unable to purchase Grand Theft Auto 5 for Xbox One - Error in listing

    I was planning on purchasing GTA5 for Xbox One tonight before the "buy 2 get 1 free" promotion expires. 
    However, the Xbox One listing for GTA5 is messed up! It shows a picture of the Xbox One copy of the game, 
    yet the title reads "Grand Theft Auto 5 - PlayStation 4"
    Shipping is not available for the item, and it's not in stock at my local Best Buy (hard to believe).
    Bummer!
