Want to use Dell Laptop/Dock with iMac Display

Hello, i currently have a MBP and a Work Laptop (Dell with Dock) and i would like to change my MBP to a iMac but i would like to use the same display on the iMac for the laptop dock too.
Is this possible?
I have read a couple of posts and am i right in thinking that there is no way of doing this with the new iMacs or the very new iMacs getting released in Nov/Dec?
Do i need to buy a 2009/2010 iMac and if so, is this easy to hook up?
Thanks
Barry

I just checked my laptop outputs, it does not appear to have a display port out, but the dell dock it sits in does.
Will this just need a display port to mini display port?
Thanks

    you should still be able to get a copy of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), which should run on your G5.

    there are a number of scenarios to do it.
    The general idea was covered here:

    Make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone before recyncing with the iMac as during this process all data will be wiped out from your iPhone.
    Going forward you may want to check icloud which makes life easier.

  • Use Apple Universal Dock with Front Row

    Hi there, I have a Powerbook G4 15 inch, and a Universal Dock that was bought from Apple.
    My question will be, is it possible to use the Universal Dock with its Remote to control Front Row and the iTunes library in my laptop. I know the Universal Dock was supposed to be used with the iPod, nonetheless seeing that it has an IR receiver and the Remote which will transmit the commands, I guess it should do the job when being hooked through the usb or firewire port.
    Product Reference:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B

    the USB connection is only for syncing / charging the ipod. the remote only works if you are hooked up to a stereo or TV. it's probably not going to run front row.

    The easiest method is to use Migration Assistant or you can put all the music onto an External HD, connect the EHD to the iMac,  then open iTunes on the Mac and Drag all the files from the EHD to iTunes and let them import. It is extremely simple to do

    Why does iPad 3 4G constantly restart after 8.3 update only when docked with iMac?

    That question is impossible to answer without more information. What troubleshooting steps have you performed? Did you try using another cable? Did you try using another USB port on the Mac? Did you reboot the Mac and reset the iPad? Have you tired restoring the iPad?

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

    I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?
    My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks.

    - You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
    go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

  • I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?

    Cloud accounts are multi-platform.
    You have a maximum of two activations but can use them on Win/Win or Mac/Mac or Win/Mac. The choice is yours.

  • Hello, I want to use version controlling software with Labwindows.

    Hello All.
    I want to use version controlling tool with Labwindows/CVI. Actually version controlling tools work for text files and by using the tool i can do version controlling of my .c and .h files in Labwindows/CVI project. But is there a way to do version controlling of .uir files also. Version control tool can detect the changes made in .uir file but is there any tool that can be used to compare and merge .uir files too just like text files operation for version controlling.
    Regards

    Hello Moshi,
    Personally I never understood how the integrated version control system of
    CVI works, but SVN (and TortoiseSVN) works fine with CVI projects.
    UIR files are treated as binary, as they should be, and that's about all.
    You could put the .tui file under version control instead, but I don't think
    it's worth the bother.

    Christi,
    In LabVIEW 6.1 I found some examples they use those sound VIs. They are located in \examples\sound folder. Those examples should give you a good overview how to use the VIs.

  • Want to use ldb selection screen with select queries

    I want to use ldb selection screen with select queries since ldb having performance issue .How can I use the fields of the dynamic selection of LDB in the select queries

    Hi,
    Check the code snippet below: Here 'XXXX' is the table for your select query.
      DATA L_DS_CLAUSES TYPE RSDS_WHERE.
      MOVE 'XXXX' TO L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME.
      READ TABLE DYN_SEL-CLAUSES WITH KEY L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME
                                 INTO L_DS_CLAUSES.
      SELECT * FROM XXXX
              WHERE field1 IN ...
               AND   field2 ....
               AND (L_DS_CLAUSES-WHERE_TAB).
          PUT XXXX.
      ENDSELECT.
    You can also try using the FM 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_DYNAMICAL_SEL' passing SY-CPROG in curr_report and 'M'  for mode to get the dynamic selection screen values.
    Regards,
    Munesh.
