To use an iMac mid2011 TD for new iMac 5K
So I know that the new iMac 5 k not usable in TDM... now can I use my old 2011 as the second screen for my new 5 k? Technically, the 5 K is not in target display mode... If this is possible and how?
Can't do. The new iMacs 5K do not support the target Display Mode at all.

can I use my iMac 24 inch as a monitor for a pc
I need assistance with my Mac. I have an iMac 24 inches at the beginning of 2009 and its starting to bother me. Sorry, but I'm changing to a pc. I like to keep the iMac to a monitor. Is there anyway to use my iMac as a monitor for a PC.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the answer is no. What you're trying to do is called the target Display Mode, Apple is extremely clear in the use of your iMac as a display with the target - Display Mode supported Apple exactly what iMacs TDM support.
There is a solution, based on a Wi - Fi connection, but the performance is so poor, it is not even worth mentioning.

Could someone use the iMac as a monitor with a new MacBook Pro?
We bought a new 13 "MacBook Pro and still have our old iMac monitor. It would be great to use the large size of the old, almost dead iMac screen. Does anyone have this done successfully?
Thank you!
Only some models of iMac (latest) have the ability to be used as a screen for another Mac. This function is called target Display Mode. This document contains more information, including the models of iMac with the ability to target Display Mode.

You can use old iMac as a monitor for mini Mac
You can use 2008 iMac as a monitor for mini Mac?
No, because the iMac of 2008 not display entered or supported to do so.
See > use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
You can use a connection network and something like ScreenRecycler
See > https://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html
However, the best bet is to use a regular external monitor with the Mac Mini.

Normally an older version of the PSE has a license that is good for both platforms, just so install the Mac version and use the serial number, you already have.

I use an iMac with a wrong as a monitor graphics card?
The graphics card on my iMac went wrong. The logic board is OK and works otherwise OK. Can I use the iMac with the graphics card bad as a second monitor in target disk Mode or use it as a monitor for a mac mini? The bad iMac is a model 2011 (of course!) with HDMI ports and Thunderbolt.
I think you mean that the Display Mode target and any connection to the screen will have to pass by the graphics card. Whereas if you replace the bad graphics card, don't.

I don't have the option "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) for the Application PDF
My accounting software runs on a Mozilla browser. When I saw the reports, it downloads it instead of preview of the report in a new window. My instructions are to go to the Options/Applications Mozilla browser and replace Portable Document Format "use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox) - but this option does not exist.
In addition, how to add Applications?
The plugin can be disabled, which means, set to 'never activate', on the plugins page. I think that the forum does not detect it when you posted (see Question details > System Details more).
To verify that you can open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, look for Adobe Acrobat. If it is disabled, it will be down on a gray box.
If your plugin is very outdated, it can be disabled for security reasons. In this case, I suggest entering your product Adobe (Reader or Acrobat) and using the Help menu > check for updates.
Update the main program should also update the plugin. If all goes well then you will be able to use again.

I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.
A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).
Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.
You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.
