Using iMac screen with Wii

Is it possible to attach the iMac with some sort of adapter or even a program so that I can use the iMac screen to work with my nintendo Wii? Adapter...software...anything? Adapter to Adapter?
any thoughts would be appreciated

ok so i know its doable...is there a way to keep the cost 50$ or less? 150$ seems alot for that technology...

  • Can i use imac screen with another comp?

    hi all - can i use my imac screen with my g4 powermac?
    I like to run it but my old monitor is big and ugly - be nice to feed into my sexy g5 imac screen
    advice - as ever - appreciated

    I don't think so. You could use Remote Desktop, but it would be slow and annoying, and it costs more than a decent 19" ViewSonic.
    But that would be nice. I'd love to run even my iMac G4 into my wife's iMac G5 screen.

  • Using imac manotio with wii or ps3

    Hi all,
    I have an imac 24" and i have wii and ps3.
    Which device can I use to connect my imac monitor to these console?
    I saw on the web the Elgato Hybrid device, but isn't the right solution for ps3.
    Best regards...

    I too have a ps3 and wanted to use it as a media hub for music and pics from my imac. I use "MediaLink" from nullriver (www.nullriver.com/)and so far work pretty good. The only thing I have an issue with is sometimes the video streaming from say a download from i-tunes will start and stop. You should search the playstation 3 forums for more options. Hope this helps some.

  • I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
    If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
    and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

  • Using iMac i7 with PS2/PS3?

    Hey there...
    I have been told so many conflicting solutions about how to use my iMac as a display for my PS2 and PS3... Can anyone shed some light on what i need and/or programs to do this.
    Thanks
    TD

    It's simple. To use the new 27-inch iMac in +target display mode+ (as a display for another device), the input must be from either a Mini DisplayPort or a regular DisplayPort. If the PS2/3 output is something like composite, component, or VGA, it will probably never work. If it is something digital, such as DVI or HDMI, it may work if you can find an adapter to convert it to DisplayPort (Mini or regular). Such adapters (if they exist for the output conversion needed) are expensive and have limitations, because the native resolution of the 27-inch iMac screen is so high (way above "1080p" and the 1920x1200 max for single-link DVI).
    What may work better, at overall lower cost, is to use a USB interface device to get the video output from the PS2/3 to display on the iMac's screen. In that case, the iMac has control of the display, and the video from the PS2/3 is being displayed in a window. You can make the window as large as needed to show the input at its maximum resolution, or even use +full screen+ mode in the same way you use +full screen+ mode with DVD Player or iTunes. The most popular of such devices are from Miglia and Elgato; they are typically used to display and capture TV input on the iMac.

  • How can I get a video signal using IMAC 27 with only mini display port. I like to send the signal wireless to a TV using a TV/audio transmit system.

    I have an IMAC 27 with a mini display port ( only this). I also have all the adapters ( mini display port to VGA, HDMI...).
    Since I moved to UAE I like to transmit the signal frm my IMAC ( where I also look German TV on) to my TV. I will do so by using a wireless Transmit receive system with theree cinch inputs ( transmit system ( video, 2x voice).
    The distance to the TV IS ABOUT 10m and one wall. I don`t want to use a cable.
    Is there any solution for example mini display to VGA + VGA adapter to cinch so I can use the transmit system?
    HDMI would also be an optiekn, bat then I have to by another Transmit receive system.
    If somebody made already the experience I would appreciate to share the information
    Is there may be any store in UAE where to get support. It is very diificult to get good advice here. They sell everything bat can not reaaly explain and have very often  no technical knowledge. With this problem nobody until now can help me.

    I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.

  • Rmbp crushes when using  full screen with Aperture

    I already updated my rmbp to Mountain Lion and updated my Aperture with the latest version.
    My rmbp crushes in full screen after I use the Quick Brushes tool. My rmbp shows a message in four languages and restarts...
    But if I don't use full screen everything is ok...

    The message in four languages indicates a "kernal panic".  These crashes are system wide, and should be avoided.
    Unfortunately, that's all I can offer.  You might search for "Aperture full screen kernal panic".  As this seems to be repeatable, you should submit a bug report to Apple via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture feedback".
    One small thing: does it happen with no external devices attached (second monitor, mouse, etc.)?

  • Why can't I use split screen with my Microsoft and internet??

  • Can I use my iMac screen with a Windows machine?

    This is sort of an upside-down question. I need to use a PC in order to access a Windows-only software. My friend has a give-away Dell laptop, but its screen is non-functional. Is there any way to get it to display on my iMac (or MacBookPro) screens?

    This can't be done if your PC has a VGA video output and requires a converter if your PC has a DVI video output. VGA is an analog signal and there are no converters to turn it into a digital Display Port (DP) or Mini Display Port (MDP) signal. DVI and HDMI are digital signals (with HDMI having audio and a different physical connector) that can be converted into a DP/MDP signal that the 27" iMac can use, but doing so requires an expensive converter or an even more expensive converter and scaler if you want to get full resolution on the target display. The cheaper but perhaps more complicated alternative is to replace your PC video card with a DP/MDP card after which you should be able to drive the 27" iMac display without any converter. Apple didn't include DVI/HDMI input capability in the 27" iMac because that would have required additional circuitry that would have raised the price substantially.

  • Use imac monitor with ps3 or wii

    Hi all,
    I have an imac 24" and i have wii and ps3.
    Which device can I use to connect my imac monitor to these console?
    I saw on the web the Elgato Hybrid device, but isn't the right solution for ps3.
    Best regards...

    you can get the canopus ADVC110 and plug in the yellow RGB cable into it, then plug the device via firewire 400 into your computer. then open up iMovie 09 and press import video, but don't record or anything. just play.

  • Imac 24" with wii and ps3

    I'm looking at getting the new 24" imac.
    Questions:
    1. is it possible to run a wii and ps3 through the imac without additional hardware?
    2. If not, is it best to use a hd scaler like the gefen hd mate scaler to connect the devices to the imac or are there alternatives?
    3. will the imac display give good reproduction of HD media (ie blu ray through the ps3)?
    I'm aware of the elgato eyetv solution but want to avoid the tv route to avoid paying the tv licence fee (don't have a tv or any real desire to get one if I can otherwise spend the licensing fee on a better specced machine).
    Cheers

    Hello, 
    There is no video input on the iMac. I've never seen anything but Standard Defintion video input devices via USB/Firewire (the HD input devices are PCI cards), they are also generally more expensive than the Elgato TV Tuners. I would have said that the cost of an ADC to give you the video-in is a significant chunk out of a getting a seperate HD TV, but then you don't want to have a tuner in the house because you'd have trouble convincing the TV license people it's not in use.
    So my wild card answer is take a look at a 24" display with HDMI and DVI. You can connect it to the iMac via DVI as a second display and it's HDMI in port will allow you to play the PS3 on it:
    Example (This is a TN panel hence the price. The S-IPS version is somewhat more.)

  • Using iMAC screen w/a Dell Hybrid desktop

    I have a 27"iMac that I was hoping to use for trading. Unfortunately Apple does not support many Software apps that are typically reserved for native PC's. However with the intro of Virtual bridges such as VMware and Parallels, most feel this is an easy fix...IN my case it is proving not to be.
    My issue is this, I purchased Parallels 8 to run my PC based NInjaTrader software (for trading). Ninja does NOT recommenbd this however does note in their forum that MAC uses have has success using Parallels or VMWare. I am finding that although Parallels is seamless and does a very nice job for most of my Virtual needs, and frankly other PC Based trading software, it is not giving me the perfomance I need with NinjaTrader perhaps due to my data-laden PC/NT requirements.
    SO, I have this Dell Hybrid PC that I'd like to hook up to the iMAC, kick over to Target Display mode and simply let the PC run my native PC-based program so I can stop the issues. Does this sound feasible? I'm just looking for a nice solution that'll remove the inherent "virtual lag" that my MAC/Parallels and NinjaTrader platform is creating vs running NinjaTrader via a true PC-based system. I have it, might as well hook it up?
    Thx for any input/experience and/or solutions that you can recommend.
    DJ

    Because using a Virtual machine allows you to run both operating system at the same time.
    With a separate partition you have to shut down one OS to boot to the other OS.
    I don't use boot camp because I don't care for Dual Boot systems. I did that years ago with MS Windows,  IBM OS2 Warp and Redhat Linux. Every time I was in one OS and I needed to use the other I had to reboot to the other. Then reboot again to get back to the first or to another OS. I settled on using windows as it had all the software I needed.
    In other words I can't stand Dual Boot system.
    I've never used Paralles so I have no idea which VM software package is better, but then that is usually subjective anyway. Just like which type of system is better, Mac or Windows. For one thing they both use the exact same hardware. There is nothing in a Mac that is not in a Win PC. CPU, GPU, RAM, hard drives and all other hardware is exactly the same. They both to the same thing, read and write data to storage media, run programs so you can actually do something on them and display those programs on a screen. There is no difference. Mac computers have hardware and software problems just like Windows PCs.

  • Using iMac 2011 with iPhone6

    First, please let me know which community to post this to? I'm just making a wild guess.
    Background: I have an iMac that was purchased in mid-2011. I currently am using Mtn Lion OS 10.8.5, but am preparing to upgrade to Yosemite. I then plan to buy an iPhone6. I will, of course, have the latest version of iOS on my phone. I have been eagerly awaiting this b/c I do not have a smartphone. (No snickering, please.) From what I can tell from reading online, there are features that I will not be able to use, such as Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and Airdrop (Mac<->iPhone) because my Mac is not a 2012 or newer.
    Question: Now I'm not sure which features will be available. For example, will I be able to answer phone calls on my Mac if my iPhone is in another room? Use SMS?
    Question: Will using iCloud make any difference re available features?
    Question: Is there really any advantage to upgrading to Yosemite (or Mavericks) if I don't buy an iPhone?

    Hi dazed,
    The use of your Mac to answer phone calls and conduct text messaging via your iPhone is called Continuity. System requirements for this feature would exclude your iMac, as they require an iMac Late 2012 and later. See this article -
    System requirements for Continuity on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support
    iCloud, of course, is available for the iMac that you have now and for any new iPhone. Features available using iCloud can be found here -
    Apple - iCloud - Everything you love, everywhere you go.
    Whether upgrading your iMac's operating system would be useful to you is really only something you can decide, but there are a number of new features and improvements that do not involve it's use with an iPhone. See this page for more information -
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - See everything the new OS X can do.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
