  • Can the iPad will be the single monitor to a Mac Mini?

    For the most part, everything we do on the computer can be done with the iPad. However, there are some applications for which we need a computer that is running something other than iOS. What we have is for each family member to have an iPad, that would work for 95% of what we do and then have a Mac Mini that anyone can use for applications that do not work on an iPad. We really don't want children using a MacBook, because they are too fragile, and we do not want a monitor constantly sitting around the House. I saw a software that will transform the iPad into a monitor for the Mac Mini. Can this work as the single monitor? I consider the MacMini sitting quietly somewhere in the House, so that each of us could 'plug in' (either wireless or wired, not sure how it works) to him with an iPad when it takes more computing power. The MacMini would never be used with anything other than an iPad as a monitor. Is this possible? Thank you!

    There are apps like the Team Viewer free (for non-commercial use) and the paid LogMeIn and the GoToMyPC that allows an iPad control/use a computer...

  • two monitors for HP Pavilion 500-007 a

    I am considering buying desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a little time. I already have two monitors TeamViewer, two support DVI - I and VGA I'm running just one of the monitors on a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop (laptop current ongoing died after 3 years continuous use).  The current system gives me two monitors to view, computer laptop 17 '' monitor and the Samsung 24 "monitor. I have also a 19 '' Samsung monitor with the same characteristics as the 24 "monitor.

    I want to know if I can use both monitors Samsung on the new office at the same time with good results.

    Both monitors have no HDMI, only DVI - I and VGA connections.

    The new system, I would like to start the monitor 24 "using the DVI - I format and the same thing with a 19" monitor, but the specs of the 500-007 a give only 1 DVI-I have the graphics card or via a connection through HDMI, and then on the motherboard, it shows a VGA port.

    What is the best: run 24 '' via DVI - I and the 19 "via VGA or execution 24" via DVI - I and get a DVI - I to HDMI converstion and run two monitors to the graphics card, or alternatively the 24 "on DVI - I and 19" on VGA.

    I use photoshop for photo editing, as I do a lot of photography work. Videos etc are not a primary, or games, but as also older in order to use the 24 "to better on Visual acuity.

    Thanks Ailsa

    This is the original factory specifications for the desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a. According to the specification, this model has an AMD Radeon HD 8570 discrete graphics card that supports the use of two simultaneous displays. That this computer is equipped with a discreet graphics card, the video ports on-board integrated are disabled. The AMD Radeon HD 8570 graphics card has a HDMI and DVI - I output and can take care of two digital monitors or a digital and an analog monitor. The supported formats are HDMI, DVI - D and VGA (via a dongle, DVI / VGA).

    Please provide the model number of monitors you want to use with this computer. Two additional DVI - D and VGA monitors as you have indicated, here are some of the possible combinations of connection supported;

    BEST

    Computer > DVI - D cable > monitor

    Technology > cable HDMI-DVI or adapter > monitor

    or

    GOOD

    Technology > cable HDMI-DVI or adapter > monitor

  • Choice of a model of desktop Inspiron for two monitors

    I didn't keep on computer hardware for some time and I found myself completely confused now that I'm looking to choose a new system that will support two monitors. It seemed simple at first, but now I'm a little worried that I'm missing something.

    In any case...

    I am looking to buy a desktop Inspiron model relatively inexpensive which allows two monitors. What should I look for to confirm the system that I'm looking will support two monitors? At first I thought that I would need to have a discreet graphics as opposed to something like the graphics card intel integrated, but some of the things I've seen seem to indicate the onboard graphics on some of the tips Intel will do what I need.

    I would mainly use for extended desktop just to be able to open MS Excel on both screens, but sometimes I wish I could watch my DIRECTV on one of the monitors (probably by logging into my DIRECTV account, as I do sometimes on my laptop).

    Hoping someone can give me an idea here.

    Thanks in advance!

    No, I don't say that all Intel adapters will work. The link I gave was a particular model Inspiron. Apparently the web page changed, because when I went back to it, the page was different.

    You buy a system with a card video of at least one of the monitors. Or, if you really want a cheap system, you can buy one that has only the onboard video and then separately purchase a USB > {video) dongle where {video} matches at least one port on the second monitor, for example USB > HDMI.}

  • Tool Windows 2Installez for two monitors

    I have a problem connecting to a monitor to your laptop and stretching of the screen of the computer on the screen. After doing so, the auto screen monitor will pop all the windows on the monitor for a little more than half of the screen, leaving a large part on top that is unusable. If I maximize the window that it will expand only to slightly more than half of the screen, leaving this same space above it that is unusable. I can use the entire screen of the laptop, but only about half of the screen of the monitor. In my view, it is to increase the area of auto snap to fill the entire screen, but I don't know how to fix this. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  • Two monitors for InDesign?

    I'm afraid that this question is really here - but on a hradware site. However, since I want this for InDesign hopefully capture some experiences. Using Windows (XP64) and a Nvidea card I would like to add a second monitor for layout work. The Dell tech I talked to that assumed that I just wanted to extend my screen - IE distributed between the image a larger space. I had (and possibly a mute) idea that I would be able to have a full page Indesign on one screen length - so I could see what was going on in the text flow etc and have one view of the other closely so that I could edit and change. Would this work in InDesign or I am in the land of science fiction?

  • External monitor for the 13 mid-2014' rMBP

    Hello

    I'm looking for an external monitor for my rMBP mid-2014 13 "resembling a Retina display (I'm only looking for quality of retina monitors). Not extremely concerned about 4K because my Mac cannot run most 4K poster but of course wouldn't mind it if it can work properly. I have the model of i5 2.8 Ghz with Intel Iris 1536 MB.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello ElEmirati,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you are in the market for some external displays.  Your MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, mi 2014) can support the following resolution on an external monitor:

    • Dual display and copy video: support simultaneous native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 x 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors

    MacBook Pro (13 inch, mid-2014 of the retina) - technical specifications

    Take care.

  • Monitor activity and Mac speed

    My desktop computer iMac (early 2009 with OS X El Capitan; version 10.11.3; Clocked at 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor; Memory 2 GB) is running extremely slow. That's what I've done so far: I managed the startup items by removing unnecessary applications. I was told do NOT install software of cleaning as MacKeeper or CleanMyMac.

    Then, I had planned to quit some applications that are taking place on my Mac RAM. I understand that, to stop the app (s), I click on the app (s) in the list displayed in the activity monitor. My question is, how do I know which applications to remove? Some have names that I don't recognize and some list the system as the user and one administrator list any 'root' for the user.

    Should I forget speed up the Mac and plan to buy a new computer?

    It really depends on if you like throwing money at problems or if you want to try to improve what you already have. A newer Mac is usually faster, but you won't have it.

    2 GB of RAM is a bare minimum to 10.11 as State of Apple in the requirements...

    Update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

    Any computer running on the bare minimum will have problems to do several things - you should simply stop all applications running in the Dock.

    Activity monitor is not intended to be used as you describe - if you force quit the wrong process or app, the computer may hang, become unstable, or losing your data. Please stop looking at that and try to kill the process, it is intended to help you to diagnose the current state, force quit is not designed for this.

    You can buy more RAM for your Mac, allowing him to perform tasks more, otherwise you'll have to accept that it is better to do one or two tasks & quit other open applications.

    An Apple store may help you if you need advice on the installation of RAM, I think that this model can support up to 32 GB (Apple 16 GB of State, but the newer RAM modules are larger & seem to work) but you should check the model identifier in system information. That appears under the Apple menu, hold the option key & open the Apple (a.k.a alt key).

    RAM is normally easy to ride, but you can get a technical person to do it for you. There are user guides made by Apple for the RAM Assembly in each model.

    Slow can also be caused by other software or slow hard disks. You want to create a report to show what is installed? Etrecheck is designed to do this...

    http://etrecheck.com/

    P.S. Apps like Clean My Mac & Mac Keeper will use more RAM, so that they won't really help your situation. Most of their tasks seems useless to me.
