Hello
I want to use my iMac 27 "(fin 2012) as an external monitor for my Windows laptop." On my laptop, I have a miniDisplay port and on my iMac, I have a Thunderbolt connection.
Is it posible to connect between them, or is it only possible to connect to apple to apple...

Read carefully > use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
Some of them indicated that they were able to make a PC work, but only if the PC has a video card with Mini DisplayPort connector on set that meets the requirements of CT. > http://science.opposingviews.com/use-imac-pc-monitor-9320.html

Can I use my 5K iMac as a monitor for the Mac Pro?
I'm so curious because I really need speed for Final Cut, but for the Mac Pro, you must separately buy things (monitors, keyboards, mouse). For the iMac, it is included, but he really loves * that the Mac Pro has this old crush which is very pixelated to 82ppi, compared to the iMac not expensive 21.5 "without Retina display, it is equal to 102ppi. My iMac 27 "is 5K also, and the iMac is 218ppi. I want a high resolution to get the best view possible, but I can't in the Mac Pro. I would like also to the screen have a built-in webcam and speakers similarly.
Only through the screen which two computers sharing work normally.

Cable/adapter for use of 2007 iMac as a display for 2009 MacBook Pro
I would use my older iMac as a monitor for my MacBook Pro. Want to know which cable and/or adapter I need help.
The iMac is a 24 inch, Intel based since 2007 (6.1). 2 GB, 667 MHZ. It uses iOS 10.5.8. Its port is a Mini-DVI video output.
The MacBook Pro is a 15-inch (5.4) 2009. 4 GB, 1067 MHZ. It uses iOS 10.11.6. Its port is a Mini display port.
Popular Wizard. Thank you.
You must use a wireless or Ethernet connection and configure Virtual Network Computing. A 2007 iMac only supports video-, and cannot function without the standard display cable.

You can use old iMac as a monitor for mini Mac
You can use 2008 iMac as a monitor for mini Mac?
No, because the iMac of 2008 not display entered or supported to do so.
See > use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
You can use a connection network and something like ScreenRecycler
See > https://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html
However, the best bet is to use a regular external monitor with the Mac Mini.

My old computer which does not has RAM 1.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 106 MHz (2, 5-3-3-7), while the anther computer, I bought recently has RAM DDR 400/128 bits. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer. Are they compatible? Thank you
Hello nonmae,.
You must use DDR 400/128 bit RAM in your system. @ 106 Mhz DDR is quite old. It's also much slower than the DDR 400. RAM is not particularly expensive today and it is always best to stick to that suggests your PC user manual.
You must use the same speed too, if you use a lower speed, the memory of your PC by default at the lowest speed, thus slowing the PC

I have Adobe CS5 on my mac. The computer seems to be on his last breath. How can I get Adobe CS5 has opted for my Windows laptop (or even at all)?
Adobe does not swap on cs5 program everything, a product of Adobe for another language or version of trading platform
you have to find a private party licenses that would allow to swap with you and transfer, transfer an Adobe product license
It would probably be easier to upgrade to cc, CC price and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
