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

My Thunderbolt screens have the possibility to be connected in Garland and get their signal on a single cable Thunderbolt, an iMac in target Display Mode should not also have this capability? Is an iMac in target Display Mode capable of simulating a Thunderbolt Display not only to get a video for himself but also for a Thunderbolt Display is connected?
I've heard tell that some people used their iMac screen target with the target Display Mode while the iMac has been connected to another monitor (not a Thunderbolt Display).
The result was that internal display of the iMac switched on the target Display Mode, but doesn't have the monitor connected.
I haven't found someone who has tried this and published his experience with a Thunderbolt Display connected to the iMac.
Unfortunately, a little more research would have responded and answered my question.
Yes, I can replace one of the Thunderbolt screens in the chain with an iMac. Replaced screen should be one that is not directly connected to the mac of the source.

The display on my 2009 iMac has stopped working two years ago and I replaced the machine with an iMac of 5 K. At the time I realized that it was not possible to connect the two machines in disc mode target but today I heard the Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter and started to pursue the investigation.
The hard drive on the iMac 2009 has worked when I he turned on last 2 years ago, but I couldn't see stripped lines colored screen.
1. is it possible to restore a Bluetooth for the keyboard and mouse when I don't see what is happening? (I removed a long time ago the batteries to store them.)
2 do I need to use a mouse and a keyboard on the older iMac if all I want to do file transfer between two iMacs using the 5 K as the master of the machine? I expect that the answer is yes because I need to hold down the T key as I start the older iMac in order to Target mode, but could someone confirm it's inevitable? (Where Q1.)
3 others managed to make the connection in similar circumstances, with a Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter? Is it that I have to be wary?
Thank you.

Will,
Unfortunately the target Display Mode will not work with iMacs Retina display. Apple will explain TDM and which machines, it is compatible with the use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
In addition, he will explain what wiring is necessary.

How to connect the Airport express as an Extender for airport extreme to El Capitan
I have a model extreme A1521 airport and a model express airport A1392 and upgraded my OS to El Capitan. I want to use the express as an Extender for the extreme because my old House is long and has thick walls. My problem is that Airport utility will not 'see' the express, regardless of its proximity to the main router (extreme). I tried to move and reset.
Of course, as soon as I get the utility to see, I need instructions on how to configure the express as a booster for my extreme.
Any ideas?
Unplug the Express and put it in the same room as the AirPort Extreme.
Put power on the Express for a few minutes, then hold down the reset button on the back of the Express for 7 to 8 seconds and release.
Allow a minute for the Express to restart
Click the WiFI icon at the top of the screen of the Mac
Look for an announcement of the new AirPort base station
Click directly on the AirPort Express Terminal
When you click on AirPort Express, the "Wizard" will open and take a few seconds to analyze things, and then see a screen that looks like the figure below, except that you can see your cameras.
Type a short and simple name that you want to call the Express
Click next
The installation wizard will take care of everything for you
When you see the message Setup is complete, unplug the Express and move to halfway between the AirPort Extreme and the area of the House that needs more coverage of wireless signal
Turn on the Express and you're all set
Important note... the Express to expand the quality of the signal it receives. About half of the potential speed on the entire nextwork is lost when you extend using a wireless connection between the airports.
It would be much better if you could connect the Express to the extreme by using wired Ethernet wired, permanent, since there is no loss of signal via the Ethernet cable and there is always a lot of loss of signal through the air, the (thick walls especially) walls, ceilings, etc.

Connect the TV (with sound) and monitor for Optiplex 390
Here is my system info:
OptiPlex 390 small footprint
Windows 7 64 bit
Intel Chipset H61
Intel HD 2000 (with HDMI and VGA) graphics card
Map of AMD Radeon 6350 512 MB video (with 2 DVI splitter)
I need to connect 1) HD TV with the sound via HDMI and 2) monitor via VGA to this system (no sound). I did a lot of research on the Internet but can't find a definitive answer if my system will support both views. Can anyone confirm if one of the three options below does not work, or any other ideas?
Option 1: remove AMD card, connect the HDMI TV, connect the VGA monitor. I've seen conflicting information if the HDMI and VGA ports can be connected at the same time.
Option 2: Connect TV: dispatcher--> DVI HDMI adapter DVI-->--> TV, monitor connect a HDMI cable: dispatcher DVI DVI VGA adapter--> monitor-->. It should work, but if someone can confirm if the AMD Radeon 6350 supports audio through DVI to TV?
3rd possibility: buy another video with HDMI and VGA card. I'd rather not spend more money... I have six systems to connect!
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi Ozone72,
Intel HD Graphics 2000 which was shipped with OptiPlex 390 supports two independent screens. Which means that you can connect TV for VGA and HDMI monitor, so that AMD card must be removed from the computer.
Please try it and return back if it worked.

Original title: connect Windows 7 to the output of user profiles?
I want to reinstall Windows
My user profiles are on a separate HARD diskIs it possible to connect the new install of Win 7 to these existing profilesOr I'll create all new profiles and just move all the files manually?You can change the registry so that it points to your old profile folder. However, I suspect that this would cause problems because the SID and many registry keys would be incorrect for the current installation. I would like to move the folders manually.

Can I use an iMac 27 "mid-2011 in target Display Mode broken graphics card?
I inherited the iMac, and rather than buying a new graphics card, want to use it as a second monitor on my MacBook Pro, with thunderbolt. I tried to connect the iMac and MBP with a thunderbolt cable, but F2 command is not turn on/off the iMac in display mode. I'm doing something wrong?
I think that you need the graphics card to be able to use the TDM. You must also use a good video cable Thunderbolt such as those used with your other view.

Hi all
I use a MacBook Pro (13 "to end 2011) and iMac (27", by the end of 2012). Both are up to date, running El Capitan 10.11.5. They are connected with a thunderbolt cable in order to use the iMac as a second screen (TDM).
Now, when I press CMD + F2 to the iMac, iMac gets used as second screen as expected, but it goes really dark! He's not black, you can still see the desktop but on a sunny day, it's really hard to see anything. Now, it's pretty embarrassing, but the second part of the question makes it a pain in the *. When the iMac is dark, I always go to the system preferences and open the settings for the display. I can see a window with the parameters for the iMac, but there is no cursor for the brightness! There is no way to make it brighter!
The only solution is to disable the target (CMD + F2) just display mode to enable it again after a few seconds. Sometimes I have to activate the TDM twice but sometimes it takes 4 or 5 loops toggle just to see the brightness slider!
Here is a screenshot of the settings without the cursor window
And that's what it looks like after a few loops, and then I can adjust the brightness.
Any ideas why this happens? Any advice on a possible solution? Why - what is darkening the iMac? Why is the cursor missing?
Best,
Stephan

can I connect a mac mini to existing imac?
I have an iMac with a perfectly fine display 10.4, but I'm not able to upgrade more. I wonder if I can connect a mac mini and upgrade using my keyboard and screen of the iMac.
Hi readingteacher,.
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand that you want to use your older iMac as a display of your Mac Mini. I am pleased to provide you with some information about this process.
This article has some good information on what is needed to turn your iMac in a view:
Use your iMac as a display with the target Display Mode
As you can see, it takes an iMac compatible with 10.6.1 or later. Since your iMac seems to be a G5 with 10.4.8, I'm afraid that it is not compatible with this feature.
I hope this helps clear of the things up. See you soon!

Using Late 2009 Imac as external display for PC with display port 1.2
Hi all
Thanks for your time. I searched for a definitive answer to this question before I go ahead and make a purchase.
I have a Late 2009 Imac 27 ". I would like to use it as an external monitor for my new PC, which is a graphics card EVGA GTX 970 with a displayport 1.2 output. I'll be able to use a DisplayPort / mini displayport cable to connect to my Imac to use as an external monitor for my PC.
The Imac doesn't have the speed I need for photo editing but I like the contrast and the size of the screen offers.
Any input would be appreciated!
