• using the iMac 27 inch mid 2011 as an external monitor with a PC via mini DisplayPort

  I find conflicting information via web search to be able to use my iMac 27 inches, mid-2011 as an external monitor with a PC. Is it possible to use the iMac as an external display via the Display Mode target between Thunderbolt port of the iMac with a PC equipped with a mini DisplayPort?

  Of course, I hear it's possible with the appropriate cable. But if it is not possible, I would like to know for sure.

  Thanks in advance for your help with this. _henry

• Can I set up a secondary monitor to the HD on my iMac mid 2011

  Can I set up a secondary monitor to the HD on my iMac mid-2011 with no problems. I cannot afford to upgrade to the new iMac 27-inch and wanted to update my monitor.

  Is this possible on the Mid 2011 iMac?

  Yes.

  Your best option is to choose a good monitor that has Display Port or DVI input and shy away from those who only have HDMI and VGA input.

  For a display Port monitor you will need a Mini Display Port to Display Port cable if it is not provided with the monitor.

  For a DVI monitor you will need to a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.

• Mid 2011 iMac as a display, SuperDrive and monitor

  HI people,

  I recently saved to buy an iMac 27 "new and currently owns a mid-2011 21.5" I iMac with connectivity thunderbolt.

  is it possible that I could achieve the following objectives:

  (i) to use the 2011 Mac as a second screen

  (II) to use 500 GB HD for Mac 2011 as an external HD/Time Machine

  (III) (use the Mac SuperDrive 2011 to read and burn DVDs?

  Ideally I could do all three at the same time if all the recommendations of how it can be done, if it is indeed possible, would be appreciated.

  Best,

  Michael

  You can do all these things, but not at the same time. Sell iMac and buy a screen, an external optical drive and an external hard drive. Then take the money left and there are remains of money, and do something fun!

• I just got a new Acer monitor - but now I have no sound, because there is nowhere where to plug in the connection - what I do

  I have a new monitor, which has no connection to speakers - speakers integrated supposedly.  But I have no sound - what should I do?

  What type of connection the monitor use (between the monitor and CPU)? Have you checked the folder sounds and Audio devices in Control Panel to make sure that the sound is turned on?

  Your best bet is probably to contact Acer technical support (FAQ or maybe forums) to help with this problem.

• What is the problem with my iMac mid-2011

  Hello

  Need help find out what is the problem with my iMac to mid-2011.

  Yesterday during a reboot it just never came to life.

  On turning the power on, I get the RINGTONE to start and that's it. The screen is totally black. Nothing behind tried with a torch.

  VRAM rearmament so far I tried repeatedly, unplug and plug, all kinds of combinations of keys in the carillon and nothing.

  Connected to an external monitor and shows nothing of too - no signal.

  Any way that I can know what is wrong with it before sending it to the service tech? I suspect bad graphics card but how do you ensure?

  From what you describe, it looks like a hardware issue that Apple will only be able to resolve, but not to despair immediately.

  Read it please get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support.

  I know that the title and subject are not suitable to your concern, but buried in this document is the following passage that contains three links describing the steps to follow.

  If you can not change the resolution of your screen because you see no image, restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

  If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

  That first, then write again for additional suggestions if you are still having problems.

• Clone HD on SSD (Imac mid-2011)

  Hi, I have an iMac mid-2011 with 1 TB of hard drive and I'll install a SSD 1 TB as a second drive. I think I will clone the HD on the SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is: can do the clone operation after installing the SSD inside the iMac to speed up the process or I clone the HD before the opening of the iMac with the SSD connected via USB? I have only USB 2.0, I think is going to be very slow in this way... Thank you, Francesco

  Install the internal SSD if that's your plan. Start the computer from the HARD disk, and then use disk utility to partition and format the SSD drive as follows:

  Clone El Capitan on a new disc

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command - R until the Apple logo and progress bar appear.
  2. When the Utility Menu appears, select disk utility and click on the continue button.
  3. When disk utility loads select the SSD (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  4. Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  5. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  6. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  7. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  8. Select the new SSD, then select restore in the menu editing of disk utility.
  9. In the drop-down menu select the volume that you want to clone - your HARD drive.
  10. Click the apply button to start the process.

  This can take some time depending on the amount of data is transferred. Disk utility also automatically clones Recovery HD from the HDD to the SSD.

• Should I update iMac 21.5 mid 2011?

  When I got my new iMac iRetina my old iMac was put in mothballs. By this, I mean that he sat at a desk not used for more than a year. My wife wants to start using it and I just turned it on and a miracle happened, it works. I thought I had left it in a State ready to be configured for a new user, but it is apparently already configured to connect to my apple id because I see an option to close your session with my name on it. Two questions: 1) how that it is configured to check? Since we went with the iOS devices, we used the same ID apple so if we buy apps, they are working on one of the devices. (2) it is a 21.5 "mid-2011 with an Intel Core i5 to 2.7 ghz and 1333 mhz 24 GB DDR memory. He is currently in OS X Lion 10.7.5. What OS should I update 1) this iMac can deal with good performance and 2) is free? Did someone using Open Office for the iMac? If yes it you please?

  1. System Preferences > users and groups > Admin account

  System Preferences > iCloud > sign in

  If it is not configured as you wish, the easiest would be to wipe the drive with disk utility and reformat. Then, in the wizard configuration, make your choice.

  2. you can upgrade directly to El Capitan 10.11.5

  In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. https://support.Apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_US

  Several things you should do before moving...

  1. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

  2. check HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

  3. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps

  4 make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

  5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

  6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Copy and then drag it to a different places like downloads.

  7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

• Cannot put the Mac mini mid-2011 to sleep

  My mac mini (mid 2011, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5) stopped going to sleep a few days ago. Neither Finder, command line or the energy settings are able to put it to sleep. SMC and NVRAM reset did not help, even reinstall 10.11.4 does not solve the problem. No hardware connected except for the screen and the keyboard. In fact, the display goes to sleep, but the mac mini stay awake... Also tried to wait some time for her to go to sleep, but nothing happens.

  Here is the console log after that I tried to put it to sleep, waited a moment and reconnected. Any interpretation help is very appreciated!

• Mac mini mid-2011 show AMD radeon 6630 m

  I got a used mac mini. Works fine except; randomly breaks the display.  After countless times of restart, reset, hard reset etc, I found reconnect the HDMI cable kind of fix it.

  The display is Samsung s27d360

  I tried HDMI to HDMI, HDMI-Thunderbolt, VGA to lightning. So far, best seems to be HDMI-HDMI cable.

  I ran a complete test of the material (by pressing D on startup), no problems were detected.

  The monitor works fine with a cable on Macbook air 2012 configuration

  I got this blue screen after reboot before the login screen

  I also had once after the login screen

  I randomly get screen dividing / break in two

  Randomly get the grey screen with vertical bars (no pink or green bars)

  What is the monitor? Cables? (They are not original Apple) Firmware? GPU? I really want to continue to use it.

  I hope that someone had similar problems and was able to simply fix in an update of the firmware or display setting or a cable or something. Help please.

  Thank you

  

  I suspect it's GPU problem similar to those of the similar MacBook Pro

• Above 50 ft HDMI cable will work a Mid-2011 Mac Mini?

  I want to run a cable HDMI 50 feet from the station to my mid-2011 Mac Mini computer to my TV. I want to use a 50 ft HDMI cable. Using a long cable more work or break my Mac Mini?

  In addition, due to the configuration of my TV, I have two HDMI ports. They are tied up with other devices. Connection to a HDMI cable from 50 feet to a dispatcher (on television) will add any stress to my Mac Mini (mid-2011)?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Google search shows like this

  http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/how-long-can-HDMI-run.htm

  Than 50 feet is maximum for an HDMI cable, but that applies to 720 p. Sometimes 1080 p and sometimes not.

  However, I am concerned about the "splitter" you mention. Will probably further reduce the maximum length 50 feet unless it has its own amplifier.

• Acer monitor X223h & AL2216W not "detected" in Windows 7

  I've been running Windows 7 Pro. (Clean install) as a Dual boot (XP) on my Lenovo Thinkpad R60.

  There is a problem that I have not been able to fix & that's when I want to connect an external monitor Acer - X223h or AL2216W.

  Windows 7 does not detect monitors.

  In this post the solution was to turn off the monitor, etc...

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en/w7hardware/thread/17aff461-512C-43A9-a3ea-e81aa214566a

  This has not worked for me :)

  In other posts, I read that I just need to click on the "Detect" button but it doesn't matter!

  The site of Acer and Lenovo both have no Windows 7 driver for these monitors & when I rang them to aid what they told me that it is a problem with Windows 7 :(

  Has anyone had this problem with Acer monitors & solved the problem?

  TIA

  NG_AU

  It's the GRAPHICS drivers you are looking for.  Until your laptop has the correct drivers, Windows cannot correctly identify monitors.  Once they are installed, it should search and find two monitors Acer and install the drivers by itself.
