• Can I use my imac 27 inches (mid 2011) as a second monitor for my new imac 27-inch 5K?

  Simple enough... I just want to know if my old imac can still be used as a second screen to my new imac 27-inch 5K.

  I have a thunderbolt cable to connect the two.

  Thank you

  Hi nomad2224,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  Whether or not you can use your old iMac as secondary screen for your new iMac (known as the target Display Mode) will depend on the model. You can find information and the steps in the following article useful:

• Using an iMac 2011 a second monitor for 5 k imac

  I have an iMac mid 2011 and an end 2015 k5 iMac.

  I know the 5 k cannot be used as an external display, but could I use it as the host machine and the iMac 2011 medium as the display.

  I tried with a thunderbolt and command F2 and fn-F2 control cable, but nothing works.

  Any help or advice appreciated.

  I don't think that target display mode works both ways with an iMac k 5.

• iMac 27 "with the second monitor boots black with cursor

  I can't seem to find another discussion altogether as my problem starting special 'black screen ':

  New iMac 27 "retina 5K (end of 2015) running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 with second monitor Samsung connected by Mini DP - DVI.  When starting, the two screens are displayed in black, but the cursor is available and can be moved.

  I have to make a hard stop and disconnect the second monitor to start at the login screen. Then I can reconnect the monitor and everything works.

  Any suggestions for a fix?

  So, I spent some time with Apple customer support. Several of the standard troubleshooting for problems of mystery, they came to the conclusion that there was an incompatibility of driver with the Samsung monitor at startup which is mucking things up, and I just have to accept starting with the second disconnected monitor then plug it in again after a successful login.

  Samsung does not write the monitor for Mac drivers (for some reason any), that's why the customer support figures that there is a hangup at startup. But why OS X recognize the monitor and run fine otherwise? Why only hang at boot time? And why my Mac Book Pro 2007 running the same version of El Capitan boot fine with the connected monitor? It has something to do with the Thunderbolt/mini-DP-to-DVI connection? I don't know, and I guess that Apple's Support is not either.

  I fell on a hack, which is as follows:

  1. start with the second monitor connected

  2. in the "black screen with cursor" hold the power button quite long to put the computer to sleep

  3 wake up the computer with the keyboard or trackpad or other

  4 and now the login screen will appear.

  5 log in as usual.

  6.

  I hope this helps someone. One day I'll get a more compatible monitor and it will not be a Samsung.

  They make nice dish, however.

• iMac 27 "5 k and second monitor

  Hi guys, I just bought iMac 27 "i5 3.3 with radeon M395 2 GB 5K, I would like to know if I can connect my monitor LCD Philips that runs at 1920 x 1080 as a second monitor 27" and if so, what cable connection should use.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  The iMac can power two external monitors, I have an imac 27 "non-retine with an external LG.

  As for cable, it depends on outings has the Philips, it can be one of the following values: VGA, DVI - D or HDMI or any combination of these. So you would need an adapter that goes from first sight to one of the foregoing. The third option as it is not not a digital connection but analog VGA.

• 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.

• Can I use a Pro older Mac as a second monitor display on my iMac27

  Can I use a view of Pro older Mac as a second monitor on my iMac27. Is it as simple as make a DVI adapter Thunderbolt and selecting the second monitor in the system folder?

  Ron

  A Mac Pro doesn't have a built-in screen.

  If you mean a stand-alone monitor used for a Mac Pro, only if it can be connected to the iMac.

  If you want to tell screen integrated a MacBook Pro, only with a product such as ScreenRecycler. All these work on a network.

• First Pro CC will not recognize the second monitor

  Greetings:

  I'm having a problem with the help of my second monitor to the output in CC PP.  I did the following based on another post:

  Try these two steps to check the transmission is enabled:

  1. go in the program monitor Panel menu > check "Allow to pass" is checked.

  2. go to Preferences > reading > check your 2nd monitor is present and active.

  What I get when I do it is a black screen that covers the top left of my screen at 1920 x 1080, the size of my other monitor.  When I save a project and use my second monitor for a sign, say under my belt, I'm able to drag the Panel above and use it, but when I save and reboot, the Panel is always on my primary monitor:

  I tried different confgurations in Preferences-> reading, but get the same result every time.  I have to force quit when I get the black box, I'm unable to access other options of PP.  Anyone encountered this, and if so, is there a solution?  I saw that there was a problem of "transmit", but that does not solve this problem.  Thank you!

  I don't hate replying to my own post, but I thought I'd post here how I solved my problem in case someone else ends up here with a similar one.

  To be clear, I have 2 monitors and when I activated transmit full playback screen would be superimposed on my workspace creation on monitor 1 even though I had specified to monitor 2 in my video device in the preferences > reading.

  It seems that during the last few months (I have a vague memory of it), I decided to check the "improvements" in the way Mavericks managed multiple monitors. I created two spaces in Mission Control, this is how Applications in the dock wins a menu extended options in the menu contextual (the one that appears when your right click the application icon in the dock). I knew that this extended menu was there because the site of Apple told me.

  From the OPTIONS menu on my 2 monitor setup are then ASSIGN to > all workstations; OFFICE ON DISPLAY 1; OFFICE ON DISPLAY 2; NONE.

  After trying the various options to see if the operation was consistent with the explanation of Apple and if I wanted to work with spaces, I decided that I don't have not so I removed the spaces that I created in Mission Control.

  Remove the deleted spaces these additional options ASSIGN to THE menu even though I wasn't aware of this at the time.

  A few days later, I went to allow the TRANSMISSION when editing in Premiere Pro (that I had used successfully before) than having the problem described in this thread. I stupidly credited this problem for a recent update of CC and in the release of 2014 CC does not correct it, I started to look elsewhere.

  Cut to the end and the way - after proving that a new Mac user account test does not show the problem, I have returned to my user account, active areas in control from Misson, changed the menu ATTRIBUTE to None for Premiere Pro (default), then the TRANSMISSION function worked correctly, showing a full picture has been assigned to the correct window.

  OK, the last paragraph may suggest I knew what to do but I have not, I had spent a lot to research in the library of the user to search for differences, until I came across this.

• Suggestion menu doesn't show is not on the second monitor. Firefox 29.0.1

  After the upgrade to version 29.0.1, I see in the drop-down menus suggestion on my second monitor.

  The menus show that only a small line black.

  This seems to happen on my secondary monitor on all the fields in the search bar, websites and connections.

  The menus still function, I can move through values with the arrow keys.

  I am Windows 8.1, Intel HD Graphics 3000.

  The main monitor works well.

  This could be a bug.

  Could test you with the use of Firefox hardware acceleration disabled? There are two ways to do:

  (1) temporarily to run Firefox in Safe Mode
  
  (2) turn off in normal mode of Firefox.

  # 1 :

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Your tabs and non-private windows must be restored (unless you have configured to not save a history of Firefox).

  Any difference?

  (To return to the normal mode, exit Firefox and restart normally.)

  # 2 :

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

  In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  It takes effect after leaving and you launch Firefox, next time.

• Video HTML5 will not be full screen on the second monitor?

  While playing a Html5 video full screen on my second monitor, whenever I try to do anything else the video mode full-screen. Video Flash works very well and will stay full screen on my second monitor. I also tried the same Html5 video in Google chrome and worked correctly and remained full screen too. So why the Html5 video will not remain on a second monitor fullscreen in Firefox?

  There is a fix for this, but apparently it is not yet available in the current version of Firefox (12.0). At the next update of Firefox comes out, you will be able to go to about: config and game "full-screen - api .exit-on-disable" false and the problem will be solved.

  I hope Mozilla will soon that the default for users will not do this!
