Cable Thunderbolt does not fit into the Thunderbolt ports in my iMac mid-2011

I have a Mac Mini (purchased in early 2015) I want to fix it up to use at work. I need to reformat home using my iMac (mid 2011) as screen and then copy all files and applications from the iMac to the Mac Mini. Both have ports Thunderbolt. So I bought a Thunderbolt cable from a third party (!) and I'm baffled... the cable, both ends, is part of the Mac Mini but does not fit (either end, either the port, there are 2) in the iMac, no matter how hard I jiggle it. It is not the cable... but I'm confused as to how the TWO ports on my iMac could be wasted. Believe it or not, I have never tried to use before. PS., they are certainly the Thunderbolt ports, with the lightning bolt symbol bit.

1A everyone has ever encountered this? All my other ports work fine.

2. is there another way to target display mode in addition to crush on both machines? I found this article: use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode and it seems that I can use only Thunderbolt, but I wanted to make sure.

Have you tried to return to the end of the cable? Don't be offended, it's happened.

  • Sun disk MemoryStick pro duo does not fit into the laptop

    My disc solar memory stick pro duo does not fit into the laptop Envy nor the memory stick duo adaptor. How can I download my photos?

    Hello

    Whay is your cell phone? Many of them does NOT support memory stick family devices. You can connect your device to your computer OR you can go out and buy a card reader (USB connector, for about $ 10 to $ 15) that supports the USB key and plug it into the USB port on your laptop.

  • Y510P image does not fit into the second screen using HDMI

    Hi, I have the Y510P with Windos 8.1 latest graphic drivers. I am connect to my HDTV via HDMI and the image fits well in my TV and it has a little zoomed. I was looking for a solution in all the menus of Intel HD 4600, nVIDIA Control Panel, Windows scaling... Nothing works. I have another laptop and it has an option that is changing the image and the TV shows that what is supposed to be for show.

    How can I solve this and did what I see in the screen of my laptop on the second screen (TV)?

    Thank you!

    I have a 1280 x 720 Samsung TV, I don't know the model exactly.

    The probem disappear when you change your screen resolution, or change the size of the elements, or something like that. It has something to do with the Panel of Intel, where there is a scaling option, in the tab 'display '. Well, there should be an option to select the scale, but it is not.

    So, to make it appear, you need to do this:

    1. connect the HDMI

    2 desktop, right-click, screen resolution, in 'View', you must select your TV, in my case "Samsung TV"

    3. you change the resolution from 1080 to 720

    4. then select Samsung TV as output ONLY screen, so the screen of the laptop turns off

    5. go in Control Panel (right click, graphics properties... office, display) Intel

    6. NOW, in the scaling box, you can move the 2 sliders and adjust the image, so now I can make it adapt to the screen

    Although it is a solution, and everything works fine, I don't like. I should be able to look at the screen of my laptop, and the most annoying is that steps 1 to 5 are reset every time you unplug the HDMI. It is a temporary solution.

    I want my nVIDIA GT 755 M to take control of the HDMI, I think that I could just plug the HDMI then automatically shows properly scaling the picture of my TV. Just plug and unplug, like all my other computers.

    Thanks for the help and hope I can find a real solution.

  • Ink cartridge # 99 does not fit into the printer, only #97 will fit

    Hello, I tried to install the print cartridge # 99 and he doesn't, oddly enough the # 97 cartridge fits very well.  It seems the line (party at the top of the cartridge Bay won't let me install the cartridge, as the #97 the manual for my HP 6540 has said that I can use this cartridge # 99 photos improved.   Help, please

    Darryl Arenson

    Hello

    The 99 Photo ink cartridge cannot be inserted at the location of the left as the 97 color ink cartridge.

    In order to use a Photo cartridge, keep the 97 color cartridge in the left location, remove the black print cartridge and insert the Photo cartridge instead of on the right...

    As the manual on page 36 list, the Photo cartridge must be used on the cradle of law:

    To install the print photo, remove the cartridge of the printer black inkcartridge,
    then to install the photo print cartridge in the compartment to the right of printing
    the cartridge cradle.

  • License key does not fit into the installation program

    Hello

    my daughter has bought and downloaded Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student and teacher.

    When you start the installer, there is a screen asking for the license key. Out of any reason, the license key, that my daughter got Amazon has a different format as requested in the Setup license key.

    The format of the Amazon license key looks like: XXXXX #-#-#-#-#.

    The format of the software install license key looks like: #-#-#-#-#-#.

    Considering that X stands for a letter and #, a number. Therefore, it is not possible to enter the license key and it is not possible to run the installation correctly.

    So what can we do?

    I am trying to sync music on my cell phone... but the message, (did not fit on the device) on the side of the mobile track.my is synced to my computer. I have vista basic... WMP 11, unit sony ericsson c902

    Hi simonaces,

    Thanks for posting on answers.microsoft.com

    The error in the information provided is typical, as the music player is bursting at the seams.  In case this is not correct, the manufacturer's website may have more information about the specific error on your brand of system.

    MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR MUSIC BEFORE WALKING THROUGH THESE TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS.

    More specific information about this error may be found on the website of your mobile phone manufacturer.

    Here are a few troubleshooting steps that can be useful for you, however, he will wipe away your current music out of the system.

    1 connect the player to your PC via the USB cable.

    2 open Windows Media Player.

    3. go to the Sync tab or devices and remove all the contents of the drive.

    4. go to the Tools menu and select Options.

    5. Select the devices tab, select the Sony drive and click Properties.

    6 uncheck 'create folder hierarchy on Device '.

    Now, when music is transferred, it will be placed in the root directory of the flash memory without taking into account the structure of the file and which allows to consider all tracks and less cache used by indicating the complete error of the device.

    Don't forget, make a backup of music before walking through the troubleshooting steps.  The steps are designed to clear the music file and then not select a hierarchy to activate folder structure that would free the cache for storing music to.

    Please let us know if that fixes the problem or if assistance is needed.

  • Headphone Jack does not fit into my new Sansa Clip +.

    Hello

    I just bought a new Sansa Clip + so I could listen to my songs while he's on vacation, but when I put in my profile 3.5 headphone jack into the hole on the side of the mp3 player, it will not thoroughly and grave if I don't hold him properly. That is how a Sansa Clip + is? because I found it very boring.

    I hope someone can answer quickly because I'll be on vacation in a week about. And sorry for my English because it is not my mother tongue.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.
