Connect the iMAC to MBP wo/lightning

I can connect via WiFi but it seems slow. Is there a link to H/W that would be quicker to transfer data? The MAC has the lightening connection but the MBP does not work. I could, of course copy on a flash drive and then transfer this way. Any suggestions?

Ethernet cable should work.

  • Connect the iMac to the TV via HDMI

    Hi all

    I have an iMac 27 "13.2 (end of 2012).  I want to set up a TV high definition on the wall above the iMac to display your second desktop thanks to the Mission control.

    I suppose that if I get a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter that will resolve the connection problem.  I would like to know if someone has done this?  I'm thinking a TV 1080 p Samsung 42 "ish.

    I read somewhere that my iMac only supports external monitors up to 30 ".  But I don't know if this would be applicable since I'd be using HDMI?

    Thoughts?

    I would also like to hang an AppleTV on TV for streaming music, etc. when the TV does not act as an external display for the iMac.

    Thoughts?  Suggestions.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    What you're suggesting should be OK. The maximum external resolution of your iMac is 2560 x 1600 pixels.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know have a problem using your computers Mac 2 together, it's not what you expect. These computers have worked together on the network before, good news as this should be as easy as some basic troubleshooting or setting up sharing on the network again.

  • Tine Capsule loses the connection to iMac on El Capitan

    So I thought to myself - allows to change Windows XP for IMac OS - X and I liked the theory behind Time Capsule.  So in Dec 15 bought the new iMac with El-Capitan installed - very nice - steep to overcome - but very nice learning curve.  In January 2016, I bought the capsule and time the iMac continues to lose track of it and the backup fails.

    I read a lot of posts on this problem with earlier versions of Mac OS x, but none with El Capitan.  I tried many suggestions.  I'm willing to stick to this, but concluded that Apple have big network problems - is there any known firm resolution that I missed

    If I unplug power of TC and plug it again TC restarts and fix the link and he stays for a while, but when the iMac system sleeps it seems to lose track of the TC.  The TC continues to work as a hub WiFi in bridge in the whole mode, although the link of TC - Mac itself is ethernet.

    I have the network as [router ISP-> switch-> TC-> IMac].  I have a PC, NAS, hooked to the switch and the printer off the TC - all (other than the iMac/TC) connections continue to work all the time (even the printer connected through the CT.

    Suggestions for things to try would be useful, but nobody knows if Apple are working on it?

    is there a known strong resolution that I missed

    No, it's still coming every day in the posts here.

    Apple tries to do new things via DNS and she has so far trained more than problems solved... It has to do with the hand and swapping the standard network structure and network on equal terms with the iphone or ipad. At least as far as I know. Don't hold me to him as we all users here... and some of the information Apple provide are extremely sketchy.

    I tried many suggestions.

    It is difficult to make suggestions that we really have no idea what you tried... I'll post a link to my standard list below...

    BUT el capo has introduced different bugs... and I find it hard to reproduce... Note that I have not really had most of the questions are people here. I do not use the TC in bridge... but actually force it to take in charge the functions of dhcp for these devices that connect directly to it... and you have TO connect the Mac directly to the CT... He got buried... I'm usually carefully noted the location... but Apple said you need on the computer directly connected to the TC... If it is ethernet or wireless is not a problem... but if you are trying to connect to the switch or the main router, it is not a good idea.

    So, I would recommend that you try this method.

    Re: time capsule Airport Guard disconnection

    There are screenshots of it... and if all that is hard to follow if you please tell me where you are stuck.

    I found I can now exchange the main router with a degree of immunity, as I reconfigure the DHCP and IP LAN on it to match my setup of origin... it's not hard... but it may take some time to wrap your mind around it.

    In fact right now I use a secondary antibody Airport extreme as a WAP browser on the primary... again to help people having to abandon the questions... and I have so far after that many days are perfectly stable.

    If you can do it... change the domain in the main router at the local level

    Maybe it's nothing or it could be something else, such as lan. So in fact, all your names are the. But if the main router uses a field other than mess a few things... Apple seems also is recommended to use the TC as the main router as preferable to the bridge... They recommend same NAT double bridge... IMHO, my static IP method solves the problem, where you can not replace the main router, and the TC regularly loses on the network...

  • Unable to connect to websites using safari, although my wife use the imac, which has a separate login id can?

    When I open Safari from the dock it shows as usual, but when I try to connect to it looking for Web sites, it does not. can't display preferences etc either. Also, my wife uses the Imac and has a separate login ID and its works very well for her. Worked ok until the end of the week. Any ideas how to fix? Have tried to install the latest version of Mac OS X, but nothing helps.

    What version of Mac OS X is installed, your profile shows 10.7 but I suspect that it is not correct.

  • What kind of cable should I buy to connect my iMac (late 2009) on my HDTV?  It seems that I have a mini view port on the back.

    I would like to connect my iMac (21.5 inch display on a recent model of 2009) on my HDTV.  I live in rural and can not get dish or cable TV.  I like to watch movies on Amazon on television.  The back of my monitor a firewire, mini display port and ethernet as well as USB ports.

    Why not get an Apple TV? There are currently two versions available, the most recent being about $150, the previous version is on sale for $69 (was $ 100 until the new came a month or two ago) by Apple, maybe from a local retailer. You can then broadcast a wide variety of content wirelessly on your TV TV & film. I have a $100 models, and it runs great on my i - Mac.

  • Connect the Middle 2010 21.5 "iMac for mid 2011 21.5" iMac in target display mode

    Hello

    I looked for an answer to my question and I'm not 100% clear, so I ask your help please.

    I have an iMac 21.5 "2010 middle which I want to connect to an iMac 21.5" 2011 mid (which I think the purchase) in order to have two screens. I know it can be done with these two models but the iMac 2010 has a Mini Displayport connector and the 2011 has a Thunderbolt connection, so I don't know if it's possible. I don't mind which screen is the main.

    Any help is appreciated

    Thank you

    In fact, it can be done from the mid 2010 21.5 "iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt port. See the information in use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
