How to connect my iMac 5 k to a TV

I have two Thunderbolt ports on my iMac, but I need help to connect to my TV.

The TV is digital HD and has a wide variety of ports of entry

I would like to use HDMI

Which cable is appropriate, because those I have does not work.

Help please

What do you want to connect the computer to the TV, if you want to use as an external display just get a bolt of lightning to the HDMI adapter and a Thunderbolt cable and you knock out. However if you want to watch content that is located on your iMac like movies, pictures etc, then get an Apple TV and use it.

    You can do it with an Ethernet cable (and on two Macs Ethernet ports) and use file sharing.  You can also connect via WiFi, but the transfer speed will be slower.  If both Mac connected to the Internet via a common router, you already have a link between two Macs.  Here is information on file sharing

  • How to connect a F4580 to an imac with a Virgin Netgear hub

    I just tried to connect the printer to a new imac and I am able to print using the USB cable but when I disconnect it I can't find the printer on my network.   I've read several discussions and much talk by using the installation CD.   The imac is not a hard drive and the driver that I downloaded comes from the Apple software updates.

    I don't understand how to connect the printer to the wifi.   The Airport Mac utility can't find the printer.   Surely, I will need to enter the network name and the password somehow, but I have not been through a process of development which requires it and do not understand how to throw one.

    I took hours and nothing got so far so I am now very frustrated!   Help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you very much. In fact, I found my way round the problem by using s PC with a CD-ROM drive to install the printer and then after the Mac to see, it was relatively simple.

  • MacBook can't connect to iMac, iMAC, but can connect to Macbook

    I have a problem, I can not get my course around and I need help.  I have an iMAC (2009) and Macbook Pro (2010).  Recently, I upgraded the two systems to El Capitan (both systems run the updates).  Before the upgrade, via file sharing, I was able to connect and read/write to all shared folders and devices connected to my iMAC to my macbook after some tedious tweaking configurations - the largest in realizing that I had to disable SMB and AFP only.  I use the iMAC as a home port and have all my external hard drives attached to the iMAC, and before the upgrade, I could see all the readers (and their scores) as well as all files, I had set up the iMAC to share.  Vice versa for the iMAC for Macbook - I could read/write in all the shared folders on the iMAC Macbook.

    After the upgrade to El Capitan, right at the start, the MacBook has emerged as a player immediately shared in the finder and connected without problem.  I can currently read/write of the iMAC on the hard drive of the macbook.

    The problem is, the Macbook will connect is more of the devices connected to the iMAC or iMAC.  I've fiddled with settings as much as I can think of, such as disable sharing of files, it reactivated, remove shared folders and add them, check all the settings for all readers shared on the iMAC, etc.  Everything seems to be configured exactly how it was before the upgrade, but for the life of me I can't have the Macbook to connect to iMAC.  In the finder, I see the iMac in the list of shared devices, but it just says: the connection has failed, and when I click on the button "connect as", it returns the following error: "there is a problem connecting to the server"IMAC of Pottsy".  Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.  If you continue to have problems, contact your system administrator.  Whenever I click on the button "connect as" it just trying to connect, never offered me a way to enter a user name or password, so I don't know which credentials that it uses at this stage, although I guess they are the same as before the upgrade when everything worked.  I have not changed the passwords for one of the user accounts and the user name and master password on both machines are the same, if that matters.

    Does anyone have suggestions as to what might be causing this unit or a possible way to fix?  Recently, I received this iMAC to a friend and was completely in love with the configuration of shared devices and the way everything worked before the upgrade and find this problem.  It allowed me to share a hard drive that is partitioned as a time Machine to the two machines without having to unplug anything, among other things.

    In addition, AirDrop does not currently work in both directions which is really weird.  I am able to navigate to the MacBooks HD of the iMAC via devices shared and drag and drop the files, but said dropping "transferred failed" if I try that.

    I'd appreciate really no guidance that someone might be able to provide.

    Thank YOU and GOOD VACATION.

    Well, I solved my problem after HOURS of madness, it's obviously something so incredibly simple that I could cry.  The MacBook was somehow not connected to iCloud - signature in iCloud enabled the MacBook to connect to the front just like iMAC.  I can't believe it wasn't an error message asking me to sign in iCloud.  I wonder to re-sign in iCloud always for reasons beyond me, and of course, once you done would have saved me countless hours of attempts without meaning, don't ' you must connect in iCloud message appeared.  SMH.

    So there you go people, if you are experiencing something similar, make sure that both systems are signed in iCloud.

    PEACE!

  • Want to 750-209: how to connect an old sound system to a new computer

    I wanted a new 750-209 and a former speaker of Cambridge Soundworks PCWorks 19th Point Surround 4 + under low voltage. There are 2 connector; Left and right who are article 3 (each take manages 3 drivers). The envy has 1 output. It seems that I need a derivation ending in female connectors.

    My question? How to connect the two? Is it still possible? I'd hate to have a decent sound system of junk. My needs are basic - just to be able to listen on AOL or YouTube.

    Any ideas on how to accomplsh my goal.

    Just to close this debate; unfortunaely the quick response has not responded to the problem. BestBuy has suggested that I try a composed of derivation of a shot and 2 containers. Finally, I got the system works 'after' discovery that the enormous power brick disliked the new arrangement of power when I replaced the old computer with the desire. I had to replace an adapter 3 - wat and consolidate the brick. A lot of noise to get her old system to work but now I have the choice of speakers or headphones driven by a hold on a HDMI monitor. All's well that ends well. Thanks for the interest.

  • How to connect two computers and LAN

    I can't get my toshiba to interface with my desktop computer or to connect to the internet via a CAT5.
    I tried everything I know.

    I'm not too sure about the LAN MAC? He just will not connect even if the device is functioning properly.

    Any ideas?

    Here are the instructions how can connect the two computers.

    -First of all, you will need to disable the firewall.
    -Then you need to set the same workgroup on both computers
    -in the Lan Card Properties-> Protocol TCP/IP settings, you must assign the IP address manually. That is, a computer must use the 192.186.50.1 ip address and the other computer must be set to 192.186.50.2.
    -MAC address is fixed and cannot be changed. Each LAN card uses unique mac address

    After these settings, you must restart the portable computers (computers)

    PS: I recommend Google for details and further instructions.
