Using mac as iPhone Display

I have this future music magazine app: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id451416904?mt=8&affId=1621074&ign-mpt=uo%3D6 Its really nice... I can read a digital version of the magazine on my ios device at anytime i wish . The only problem is that the only ios device I have is my iphone... Well reading a magazine on iphone isnt that nice because of the screen size... For some reason they only have an ios app and not a Mac app... Wouldnt it be nice if i could just use my mac as a display or use mirroring on my iphone like i do on apple tv...? Is that possible?

He's going to have a problem...
iomega used to make something called the 'superhero'.

It would allow him to back up the photos and his contacts, but that's pretty much it.
Without a computer, it's either that or a cloud service.

Using Mac as X11 display server for app running on Linux

Hello all,
I am in the midst of learning Arabic, and am trying to get to the point of becoming comfortable with computing on Arabic screens with Arabic menus, etc. The Mac doesn't support this for Arabic, although it does for many other languages. (Neither does the Windows box, apparently, on a user by user basis. It looks like I would have to install Arabic Windows to get Arabic GUI. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.)
On my Linux server, however, I have most of my applications set up for multiple languages, and this works fine. I have a user set up who is my Arabic-speaking alterego with his default language set to Arabic and most applications respect it. However, the display for my Linux server is in a cramped corner, while the iMac, of course, sits proudly on my desk. It occurs to me that I should be able to use X11 for Mac so I can learn to think in Arabic in regal splendor.
I have X11 installed on here - I use it for OpenOffice locally - but am having trouble getting an application on the Linux box to see my display. Here is what I am doing:
- I do xhost + on the Mac side (merepoint) to permit remote connections.
- From the X11 terminal program on the Mac, I ssh over to my Linux server (openocean). I have tried ssh with no command line switches and with -X and with -Y. None of them appear to set the DISPLAY environment variable on the Linux box.
- I run a Gnome or KDE application in the Linux session and it immediately doesn't find a display. It indicates an empty display string. (What a surprise.)
- I run the command over there specifying -display merepoint:0 and it pauses and then doesn't find the display. This feels like the Mac isn't listening for remote connections or listens on some other port or display ID. I can ping back to my iMac just fine so it isn't confused about IP address or naming.
What do I need to do (at either end) to allow the connection to go through?
There appear to be no hardware issues. I'm not sure how the security, etc. works with X beyond opening or closing stuff from the display server with xhost. ssh and .Xauthority also comes into the mix somewhere, I think, but I'm confused as to the role they play and how they interact. I don't know if the X stuff on the Mac needs some special tweak to listen for remote connections. I didn't see any switches about that in the X11 preferences.
Eventually, I'd like to use Command-Opt-A to switch between my Mac screen and full-screen kdm login to the Linux box so I don't need to run over there. Any hints for getting that arrangement working - beyond the obvious user preference for full-screen, which works fine - would be valuable as well.

iMac G4 20" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thank you! Setting up "X11Forwarding yes" on the server side and restarting sshd did the trick. Now from my ssh session, I can do "LANG=ar_LB gedit" on the command line and get gedit with Arabic menus.
I found that I could even get my whole desktop up, albeit with some amusing things happening with sound across the room, using startkde. Is there a better way to get this effect?
Now I can just log in as my Arabic alterego and it should all work pretty well.

Using .Mac with iphone

I did search but i could not find the answer. I am currently using the .mac email trial to see if it is somethig i might be interested in buying. I noticed none of my emails have been pushed to my iphone. Is this because i am using the trial and not all features are available? Or is it because .mac does not support push mail? Thanks

Apple does not provide/support the Push-IMAP protocol - at the present time anyway but a .Mac account provides the flexibility to access the account as IMAP or POP depending on preferences.
I access my .Mac account on my iPhone (as an IMAP account along accessing the account as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on my Mac) which is my primary account and although Push is not supported with the iPhone, all you need to do is select the account's Inbox mailbox in between automatic checks.
The free Yahoo Push-IMAP account for iPhone customers cannot be accessed with an email client on another computer or device.

How do I enable TDM?
Make sure both computers are turned on and awake.
Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.
How do I exit TDM?
To leave TDM, press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac that is in TDM. You can also exit TDM if you shutdown or sleep either computer or detach the cable.
Can I use a third-party keyboard or older Apple keyboard to enable TDM?
Some older Apple keyboards and keyboards not made by Apple may not allow Command-F2 to toggle display modes. You should use an aluminum wired or wireless Apple keyboard to toggle TDM on and

No signal to VGA monitor using Mac mini display to VGA adaptor and first time boot Mac mini

Just unpacked Mac mini and powered up using Mac mini to VGA display adaptor and VGA monitor. There is no signal to the monitor ( power is on).
How to see the display?

[ 13.093] (==) No Layout section. Using the first Screen section.
[ 13.093] (==) No screen section available. Using defaults.
[ 13.093] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0)
[ 13.093] (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[ 13.093] (==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
Using a default monitor configuration.
First step would be to create the necessary entries (easier to make a complete xorg.conf versus xorg.conf.d/##-whatever.conf).
All Desktop Environments / Window Managers rely on X. Man pages are helpful, possibly some headaches ahead as I fought a dual-monitor display this way.
I currently run a xrandr script to switch displays on my hp pavilion: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Scripts

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

I love Apple and I use all product. iPhone 3,3s,4,4s,5, iPad and Mac Air(now no more 3,3s and 4)... Only one thing I want to know is... What can I do if some one spy on my phone? How do I protect all my stuff that I put in my phone?

the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com

What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

Want to use .mac instead of .me for email on iPhone, can't

Hi all - I recently had to delete my mail account on my phone and set it up again. After doing so, emails sent from the phone are now sent from .me, even though I set it up as .mac. I've used this address for years and it is attached to people I do business with, so switching it now is not desirable.
Here's what I did. Deleted and reset up the account, being sure to use .mac (as that's all I use). On the iPhone, in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> MobileMe, the account shows "[email protected] All seems clear. If I click in that, it shows Apple ID as "[email protected]" Again, good. Password is fine. However, below that, where it says Mail, it shows "[email protected]" If I then click on that to go one screen further, it shows my name and then in the address it shows "[email protected]" That, however, is grayed out and I cannot change it. Is there anyway to get this back? As it stands now, emails from home will come from .mac, but anything coming from my phone is .me. How can I get it back to sending from .mac?

Incidentally,, the MobileMe forums are here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116

... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car.

hi, we are using mac mini's for our developement purpose. connecting the same through using Real VNC. Mac mini's are late 2009 and 2010. Now we have upgraded them to 10.8.5. after upgrading having display issues after launching the simulators, we are unable to view the icons we need to move the simulator (into different places) to view the icons.
Also we are having Mac book pro's (Late 2009 & 2010) after upgrading them to 10.8.5. Unable to launch the mac, getting only white screen with apple icon.
Let me know is there any specific Hardware (Graphic Cards) we need to use for the same.
Please provide me the early solutions.

Hi, try this first...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Using 27in iMac as display for Mac Pro (both latest models)

I'm in need of using my new 27in iMac (current 2012 model) as the display for my current 2012 Mac Pro. As you probably know, the mac pro has 1 DVI port, 2 mini display port, and some firewire ports. The iMac has 1 firewire port and 2 thunderbolt ports. Both units have USB 2.0 obviously. I found that the new iMac doesn't support target disk mode with non-thunderbolt machines so that won't work. I wonder if there is a way to use these other connections to enable my mac pro to display on the imac. Any suggestions?
(My latest wonder is if I can upgrade the video card in the mac pro with a card that has thunderbolt outputs?)

That is a subtle distinction, but I think you are right.
Use an iMac with Thunderbolt as a display
If you have an iMac with Thunderbolt, any other Mac with Thunderbolt can use it as a display. The iMac will play both the video and audio from the other Mac.
Connect the Thunderbolt cable to the Thunderbolt ports on each computer.
Make sure both Mac computers are turned on and awake.
Press Command (⌘)-F2 on the keyboard of the external display Mac.
If you want the external display Mac to play audio as well as video from the primary Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, and then click Output. Select the external display Mac from the list of devices.
