Oculus Rift and Mac?

I want to order in advance a rift Oculus and I was looking at the page on the site on oculus ready PCs. Unfortunately, Macs are deprecated, even running Boot Camp.

In addition, I need apparently a screen to run the Oculus Rift (even if the monitor is in large headphones) to implement, troubleshooting and other issues. Even if a game box does not have a lot of room, I already have a Mac in both Chambers, and the thought of another screen does not appeal to me.

So I would power the display of the image of the PC on my iMac. Oculus forums, they said I could buy an adapter for one of my thunderbolt ports.

Recommendations?

Recommendations?

If your iMac is an iMac 27 "late 2009 or 2010 and the PC has a mini port so yes you can use the iMac as an external display to the computer. Apple explains it clearly in use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode. If your system does not meet these guidelines, then the answer is a simple No.

  • Predator G6-710 and Oculus Rift

    Anyone had success installing installation Oculus Rift VR?  I continue to run into errors during installation, and can not pass an installation. "Eyepiece has detected a hardware error that prevents you from implementing your Rift."

    I have a strong suspicion that it is USB 3.0 port associated.    When I plug the HDMI interface and 2 USB 3.0 ports are discovered and activated, yet when I go to install inside the helmet, I get this error. I tried both USB 3.0 forward ports and ports in the back without success. Same mistake. I even rebooted and Windows came up and reported 'Hang On' while it cleans an error then rebooted and material very well.

    Someone at - there one installed yet?  Let me know your thing.

    Thank you

    Well Yes. USB port problem.  Both at the front and the other on the back do not work with Oculus. I found a USB 3.0 at the back which seems to work reliably. Holy crap, this thing is amazing...

  • Problems with the computer, Alienware Laptop, 18 and Oculus Rift

    Hi everyone, someone hopefully Sunrise had an Oculus Rift (DK2) and running on an Alienware Laptop? Reading around online, I believe that this can be problematic. I have a powerful 18 Alienware and can't believe that it is impossible to use a loophole. Very welcome advice. My specs are: memory - 8 GB DDR3L at 1600 MHz (2x4G); Graphics - Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 M with 8 GB memory GDDR5 - NVIDIA SLI active; Processor - 4th generation Intel Core i7-4810MQ processor, Quad Core, 6MB Cache, up to 3.8 GHz. thanks!

    Hello

    Yes, all 4 USB ports on the USB3.0 is mine. With my HDMI cable, I don't have to replace it, and on all other computers, it worked fine. On the Alienware, the HDMI port itself which is a pain, as it does with external monitors and televisions, unless I give him a strength, it will not detect.

  • iMessage on iPhone, iPad and Mac Mini issues

    So, here's a nice.

    Mac Mini, iPad Mini, iPhone5. All are on the latest versions of the OS. Connected to the identical services iCloud and iTunes on all three devices. The iPhone 5 is delivered to US, the others are the European Union (NL) issued.

    When I send an iMessage on the phone, the message sent is not the Mac Mini or Mini iPad. sent iMessages to iPad or Mac appear on both devices, but not on the phone.

    Incoming messages only appear on the phone, not on the other two aircraft.

    People receiving my messages of either the Mac Mini - combo of the iPad and the iPhone5, have two separate conversations in their messages, but an entry from me in their list of contacts.

    In iCloud online, all devices can be considered to be connected with the same account. All have been disconnected from iCloud, password has been changed and reconnected. All devices were restarted. All to nothing does not.

    Other services such as calendar function without any problem at all, an appointment has been made on what devices instantly extends to the two other devices. New contacts are shared between all the devices too. If the problem is limited to the iMessage.

    In short, I suspect there is a difference between EU and devices of the American unit, preventing them to be treated equally. Does anyone else have this problem or something similar?

    Hello mackert,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know that Messages does not properly or sync with your devices is not what you expect. Based on what you said, it seems that you encounter some problems of synchronization with connected devices to your Apple for message ID. Good news is I had this problem myself and I solved this problem by following these steps:

    1. Firstly, you disconnect from your Apple ID for iMessage on all your devices. On your iOS devices, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive and sign for your Apple ID. Then go to settings > Messages and turn off of iMessage.

    2. on your Mac Mini, open messages, then go to the Messages menu > Preferences > accounts. Click your iMessage account in the left sidebar, and then click Sign Out and then sign out again.

    3. restart your devices as closing down and starting process is important to keep the software works correctly:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    How to turn on or off your Mac

    4. now sign in iMessage on your iPhone first. Go to settings > Messages, turn on iMessage and connect you to your Apple ID in settings > Messages > Send and receive. Make sure that you are successfully connected, iMessage is activated, and you see your phone number and e-mail available for both "you are reachable by iMessage to ' and"Start new conversations." That's because iMessage uses your iPhone SMS to activate iMessage on your Apple ID.

    If you get an error when you try to activate FaceTime or iMessage

    5. Once your iPhone has configuration iMessage, then sign into your other accounts and check the synchronization of Messages. You can also turn on "Text Message Forwarding" under settings > Messages on your iPhone to better ensure that all devices have the same messages.

  • iTunes library to external hard drive works on pc and mac

    Hello world

    I have 1 pc and mac 2. I also use the music library to icloud. However, it depends on the internet connection.

    so, I was wondering if I can put the "itunes library" file on each laptop, the "itunes media" while on the external hard drive?

    My idea is to use an external hard drive whenever I want to use the laptop. so I don't need to broadcast through library icloud music. Moreover, I need an external hard drive and itunes library to work on pc and mac.

    Cheers!

    See make a library of portable split. You will need either a for OS X NTFS driver or driver for HFS + for Windows in order to use the drive with an operating system. Also note that there is a delay when you first launch after passage of one BONE to the other.

  • HD Share between Windows and Mac

    Hello

    I have a pc configured with windows (Vista) and I shared one of the hard drives.

    My mac see allows me to connect and view records and this PC. I checked and I (Get Info) have read and write permission.

    I turned on, on mac and pc file sharing and also enabled for SMB Options I think.

    Whenever I'm going to delete or copy a file to the shared drive it States "you do not have permissions to complete this operation"?

    I treasure this set up and it worked fine. (I wiped the windows and mac PC as cost installs).

    Any idea why this is not play ball?

    Thank you.

  • How can I remove photos in an album that has been shared with me on my iPhone and Mac without unsubscribing to the album?

    How can I delete pictures on my iPhone 6 s and Mac Pro from an album shared with me without unsubscring to the album?

    Whence the Album? This would help to diagnose. Normally, on film, you select the photos you want, remove them and the album goes.

    If the Album has been synchronized from your computer using iTunes, then make a new synchronization without the selected album.

  • Do you need to be on the same account of WiFi for phone and Mac that allows you to delete photos?

    When my Macbook Pro is on the WiFi and my iPhone 6 s + is on cell phone, I noticed that if I delete the photos within the program of Photos on my Mac they do not get deleted from my iPhone. However, a few hours later when I get home and check my phone, and I'm on Wifi for both devices, the photos have disappeared. Do you need to be on the same account of WiFi for phone and Mac that allows you to delete photos?

    Thank you.

    Devices can be on different wifi networks.

    Your question is that the phone will not be synchronized using cellular data and will wait until it connects to a wifi network, but this can be any wifi network.

  • My iPhone (and Mac) has recently started inviting me to enter my password of e-mail occasionally, even when my password has not changed.

    My iPhone (and Mac) has recently started inviting me to enter my password of e-mail occasionally, even when my password has not changed. I always receive my email if I do not reintroduce.  I sometimes take the message pop up on the home screen.  It happens about once a week lately.  I'm a little worried that so often on my iPhone.  The same thing happens to my Mac too, but less frequently.  I noticed that this happens for Gmail, email from work (Exchange) and iCloud, but not all other accounts.  Potential virus?

    Not necessarily

    When the mail (especially sent) is rejected by the server - for some reason - server busy or too large attachment or even unstable connection - the first step is to ask for authentication
