Want to run my PC on my G5 monitor, using one keyboard and mouse?

I have a IMAC G5 (pre-intel) and would like to hook my PC tower to the G5's monitor. It would also be great to use only one keyboard and mouse to operate both systems.
In this forum, I found a reference to the "Gefen SL Switcher". This looks like the solution, except my G5 has a wireless mouse and keyboard. The Gefen manual on line does not have much content.
Does anyone know of a solution for running my PC tower into my G5 with wireless mouse and keyboard?

The cordless keyboard and mouse are going to be problematic.
What kind of work do you plan to do on the PC?
if it isn't anything graphics intensive, you could set up a vncserver on the PC, and use "chicken of vnc" viewer.
Both are free:

  • I have two IMacs and I want to set them up so i can use one keyboard and mouse-   How do i make this happen?

    How do i make it happen so I can use two seperate iMac computers as one set-up with one keyboard and one mouse?

    If the keyboard and mouse are wired, then a USB KVM switch will work.
    If they are wireless, you should be able to connect the wirelessly via Bluetooth settings. discover the same keyboard and mouse on each iMac.
    However, you cannot use them on each iMac simultaneously. I think it would be rather difficult for you to switch between them (disconnecting and reconnecting them over and over again).
    Most iMacs come shipped with a keyboard and mouse by default. How come you only have one keyboard?
    Keyboards and mice are not that expensive either.

  • Hi, I bouhgt a used Apple Power Mac G5, I want to buy a blue tooth card for the same to use wireless keyboard and mouse, i am just curious that why do i need to provide the serial number of my computer, is there any compatibilty issue?

  • Is it possible to connect an older Power Mac (running OS 10.5.8) to an iMac running 10.9.5. I want to share the monitor, keyboard and mouse and switch between the two computers.

    as far as I know then the target display mode is not an option with such an old mac

  • Want Mac mini and G4 to share Display and USB keyboard and mouse

    I bought a KVM switch at a local electronics store. I got the only one that claimed Mac compatibility (PPA Int'l). I can't plug the switch into the G4 Cube. No such ports. With the adapter that accompanied my brand new Mac Mini, I can plug the KVM monitor port into the mini's monitor port, BUT that port is currently being used by the Apple DVI-to-ADC adapter I bought so I can connect my Cinema Display to the Mac mini.
    The KVM switch wants 3 ports on each computer: a VGA (monitor) port, the keyboard port, and the mouse port; but the keyboard/mouse connectors are not USB.
    As things stand--without the switch--I can shut down whatever computer I'm working on (mini or Cube), unplug the display from one, connect it to the other, power up and everything's fine. I suppose the only advantage with the KVM switch is being able to power off, switch, then power on without having to move the display plug.
    My QUESTION is, does anybody manufacture a KVM switch I can use between two Macintosh computers to share use of my USB keyboard powered from a USB port on the display, and my USB mouse powered from a USB port on the keyboard?
    Or is the answer NOT to go for the convenience of a KVM switch?
    Does it matter that the mini OS is Leopard, and the Cube OS is Tiger?
    I am heartily impressed with the mini. Setup was over in 5 minutes, and I must say it's fast. Appreciate any help from the experts. --Spot

    I had the same problem, and finally came up with two other alternative solutions.
    First, if you have a recent LCD monitor, it is fairly simple and cheap. The Mini has a digital connection for the monitor. My G4 400 MHz has both digital and analog connections. I have a Samsung 19 inch widescreen monitor that has both a digital and an analog input. I connected the G4 to the monitor using the analog input with my old cable, and connected the Mini using the digital input. The Samsung has a switch that will use either the digital or analog input - very easy.
    Now the keyboard and mouse. I got a 6 foot USB cable with the A plug on one end and B plug on the other, plugged the A plug end into the G4, and ran the cable with the B plug up near the Mini. It helps to keep it close. You already have the keyboard/mouse plugged into the Mini. You simply unplug the keyboard cable from the Mini, and plug it into the B plug from the G4. Switch the monitor from digital to analog, and you have the G4 (remember to start it up). Once you have run the cables, it takes about 10 seconds to make the switch.
    Second, and I use both ways, is to get an inexpensive wired router. I bought a Belkin 4 port router (about $30, I think), got a couple Cat 5 cables, hooked both the Mini and G4 up to the router, along with my internet connection, and have both computers available on one monitor with no physical switching involved. You will need to go to System Preferences/Sharing and turn on Personal File Sharing (there may be another change, but I can't remember it right now).
    When all is hooked up, you go to GO in the Finder Menu Bar (make sure the G4 is booted before doing this) click on either NETWORK or CONNECT TO SERVER, find your G4 and connect. It may be confusing the first few times, but it works great because you have access to both computers at once, along with your internet connection - the best of both worlds!
    I did this in January of this year, so please forgive me if I have forgotten a step somewhere. Ask me and I'll be glad to try to walk you through it. The first solution is the simplest to do, and the second in the most versatile. It's your choice.
    Hope this helps. Just don't be intimidated by it - if I can figure it out, we can get you connected. Good luck!

  • I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

    Hi I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 in the Middle East. I want to know if I will be able to use my iPhone and all its applications when we go back to live in the US for long term.
    Thank you

    Apple Online Store sells unlocked iPhone in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French, Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English, French), China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong (English, Chinese), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German), Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.
    You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked
    It also appears that only Zain offer unlocking (of all the ME carriers )  in Jordan and Bahrain

  • Running Boot Camp in Windows 7 with Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse

    NOTE: I was installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Professional on a 27" iMac mid-2010 with a Processor Speed of 2.93 GHz, a Core i7 Processor Type,  a Quad Core Processor Configuration, 8GB RAM, and a ATI Radeon HD 5750 Graphics Card.  I run Snow Leopard so it is a 64-bit OS.  I have a Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Magic Mouse as well.  In order to install Windows 7 you need a Wired Keyboard and Mouse.  You will also need a Wired Keyboard and Wired Mouse to update Boot Camp.
    Updating Boot Camp Assistant (VERY IMPORTANT)
    First, plug in a wired keyboard and wired mouse.  The Boot Camp Assistant version that came with my iMac was 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.1 and then to 3.2.  I'm not sure if only the upgrade to 3.1 is necessary, but I took it a step further.  I was told by Apple Tech Support that you first needed to upgrade to version 3.1 before being able to upgrade to 3.2  These upgrades will not be found using Software Update on the Mac.  However, they can be found at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
    They also have software updates for 32-bit machines as well and MacBook Pro updates.
    NOTE: Before updating the version of Boot Camp, but after installing Windows 7 and after putting in the Mac OS X Install DVD to run Setup.exe to download the Mac drivers, run Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update for any additional updates.
    Next I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.1 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336
    I then ran Software Update for the Mac while logged into Windows 7 by clicking on Start - All Programs - Software Update
    Then I installed Boot Camp Software Update 3.2 for Windows 64 bit found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979
    I then installed Boot Camp 3.2 Update for iMac (early 2011) found at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL979 but I'm not sure if this was necessary.
    Once Boot Camp 3.2 has been installed I ran Software Update for the Mac again while logged into WIndows 7 to make sure I had all the updates.
    Configuring a Bluetooth device on a Windows-based computer
    (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952818)
    How to make sure that the Bluetooth service is started (MY COMPUTER WAS ALREADY SET UP TO RUN BLUETOOTH, SO THE NEXT 8 STEPS COULD BE OPTIONAL)
    Open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Services. To do this, follow these steps.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7Windows XP
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    Click Start , copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Searchbox, and then press ENTER:services.msc
    In the Programs list, click Services.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
    If the Bluetooth Support service is stopped, click Start.
    On the Startup type list, click Automatic.
    Click the Log On tab.
    Click Local System account.
    Click OK.
    If you prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
    How to connect the Bluetooth device to the computer
    1. First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add them back in later (see 9) below).
    2. Boot into Windows using a USB connected Mouse and Keyboard.
    3. Go to Control Panel – Hardware and Sound – Device and Printers – Add a Device
    4. Turn on the Mouse to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer
    5. Run 3.) again except select the keyboard.
    6. Turn on the Keyboard to send out a signal and once it sees it select it to be paired to the computer by typing in the 8 digit number into the wireless keyboard and hit ENTER/RETURN.
    7. To see if everything was added go to Devices and Printers and see if they were added to the list.
    8. Shutdown Windows 7 and Restart using Mac OSX.  If you adjusted the Boot Camp settings while in Windows 7 you will see a Boot Camp icon in the system tray located at the bottom right of the screen.  From here you can logoff and reboot in Mac OSX.  If you don't, do a RESTART and hold the Option key down after hearing the GONG and select the Mac HD option while logging in.  Now it's time to add back the wireless mouse and keyboard to be recognized by your Mac.
    9. Go to System Preferences – Internet and Wireless – Bluetooth
    10. Hit the “+” button to launch the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to find the devices sending out the signal.
    11. Highlight the device found and hit “Continue”
    12. Do this for both the keyboard and mouse.  You will be prompted to type in the 8 digit code into the wireless keyboard in order to pair it with your computer.
    13. Click on the pinwheel next to the “-“ sign to rename the wireless devices if you'd like.
    I then logged back into Windows 7 to see if the mouse and keyboard were functional and had no problems.  For some reason, Windows has problems pairing bluetooth devices that are already paired under a Mac OSX.  Many people have updated Boot Camp, yet still were not able to pair their wireless devices because they didn't break the Bluetooth connection on the Mac side first. So both steps are necessary (1) Updating to at least Boot Camp 3.1 if not 3.2 and (2) Deleting the Wireless mouse and keyboard link while running Mac OSX before trying to pair them in a Windows OS.

    I found the answers by trial and errors.
    @  is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 2
    #   is obtained by CTRL + OPT + 3
    (without shift or caps lock)
    These two signs are critical and I fail to understand why this information is not readily available from the help function or from the Apple support.

  • I have a G5 PPC Dual 20" Mac Displays - I want to incorporate a Mac Mini and still use my keyboard and Monitors and Switch back and forth. How do I do this?

    I have a G5 PPC Dual 20" Mac Displays - I want to incorporate a Mac Mini and still use my keyboard and Monitors and Switch back and forth. How do I do this?

    The Hatter,
    I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can.  From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance.  The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs.  Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
    You said I have the 4000 for CUDA.  I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it. 
    A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000.  Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected?  I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
    Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
    So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
    I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are.  I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4.  Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

  • HT1379 My macbook pro 2013 is running to slow even when I am using the keyboard, it running with a delay. I upgraded the memories to 8gb but still slow what can i do to fix it.

    Good morning I am confronting serious problems with my Macbook pro 2013, that is runing to slow,  even when I am writing this email is running with some kind of delay. I upgraded the memories to 8gb but still running slow . Please let me know what I can do to solve the problem. Thanks in advance. Fernando

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
    exec bash
    in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.

  • I want a select statement to return two values, sum of one column and customer number

    I have two columns one called invoice_number and the other invoice_amount. I want a select statement to return two columns.... invoice_number and then the sum of the invoice_amount(s) for each unique invoice number.
    SELECT sum(invoice_amount) AS Totalinvoice_amount FROM InvoiceTB where invoice_number = 'INV102'
    This is where I've started, which returns:
    Totalinvoice_amount
    500.00
    Any help is appreciated.
    Please mark my post as helpful or the answer or better yet.... both! :) Thanks!

  • I have an upgrade version of logic studio (9.1.1.) which I want to run on an imac with 10.7.4 osx Lion and after a seemingly successful install it's telling me that this version of logic studio isn't supported by my osx...Can someone help me with this?

    I also want to add that I've found the updates to logic pro 9.1.2 thru 9.1.7. and when I download them they tell me they are either not needed or don't seem to actually update anything.  Someone was saying that Logic Studio isn't a fan of Lion and I should install Snow Leopard, complete Logic updates and then re-install Lion.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • I want to run whatsapp on my ipod can i use iphone configuration utility for this

    PLze tell can i do it

    Hey Abhi 18, Sorry-- I'm out of touch. Was not aware of the method of using an iPhone as a hat.   I watched the link Illaass supplied, a little work, but it appears to work. Is it safe? I can't answer that, haven't done it, so I don't know. But I would think Illaass would not have given the link if it were not. Cheers.

  • Does Firefox have a feature like the software named Robo-form, where like if you wanted to go to your gmail, you could click on one thing, and not have to inter user name and password every single time?

    Some times in Firefox I see pop ups where Firefox is allowing you to make Firefox remember a password or some such thing like that.
    I want to go to an account or web site where I have already registered, type in my user name and password and then before I log in, have Firefox remember my log in information, so that in the future I could go to a folder let's say, that has a list, and just click on the one item, spending less time logging in at places.
    Is this something Firefox does, or do I have to say, use a software like Robo-form?
