Use the iMac 5 k with Macbook air as a second screen

Hello

I just bought an iMac 27 "5 k new and I want to know if I can use my Macbook Air as a second screen and if so what cable do I need? Ive read some stuff claiming the 5 k unusable with a second monitor, but this looks like it could mean that the iMac can serve as a second monitor?

Thank you

You're right that a k 5 iMac can be used as a display of the target, but cannot a MacBook Air to use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

Nor has any video in ability.

  • Use the MacBook Air as a second screen for iMac running Windows 10

    Hello

    is it possible to use my MacBook Air running El Capitan as a second screen to my iMac with 10 Windows under Boot Camp? I have to use the iMac for work and wants to extend the screen of my MacBook Air. I couldn't find solutions, as target display mode does not work in Boot Camp. Does anyone know an app solution or a third party for this?

    Thank you very much.

  • Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    I use a MacBook Air, 13-inch, mid 2013, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I am interested in Apple TV. With this product I was able to connect my Epson EB - S18 projector to my Mac in order to project movies that I bought on iTunes on my wall of the apartment? Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself? Must they be downloaded in SD and not HD? Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port? Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector? Please notify.

    Thank you very much.

    Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    Yes! AirPlay with an AppleTV is the easiest to use and less complicated solution.

    SD / HD makes no difference.

    You will only be able to enjoy the full quality of an HD movie with a better projector however. This model projector is not really intended for presentation of home theater. It will work well. As you can imagine that there is no upper limit on the amount, you can overlook these things, but $2000 is going to buy a nice home theater projector these days. A few years ago, you would need to spend $ 50,000 or more.

    Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself?

    No, not if you bought (or leased) from iTunes. They have to play on any device compatible iTunes. You can even use AirPlay to distribute it to your AppleTV from an iPhone.

    Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port?

    Yes.

    Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector?

    Not without a converter. Avoid using the VGA if possible. It's a terribly outdated and generally horrible alternative to any digital standard. Since your MBA has a port Thunderbolt, and if your projector has a HDMI input, buy a cheap (± $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable. But AirPlay is preferable to a wired connection.

    I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

    I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

    You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

    Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

  • Use the iMac with bootcamp as a monitor

    Dear community,

    Currently, I use my windows desktop pc, and I would use my iMac (24 inch end 2010) as a second monitor. The iMac runs on bootcamp and the apple partition is unfortunately broken. This means that I can only use windows on my iMac. Now, I want to use the iMac as my second monitor. Should what cable I buy to make it work? And how do I use target mode on windows (can not enter my Mac partition...)? I'm a little worried about buying bad cables. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate your help!

    Sorry for my English, if you don't understand something just ask me.

    Kind regards

    It is good to use Final Cut Pro on a MacBook Air?

    Hello...

    You might find a 13 "inches screen a bit small for editing in FCP, but you can try the free trial > http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/specs/

    Minimum requirements of the FCP for RAM is 4 GB but 8 GB provide a better workflow.

    To see how much our Mac RAM is installed in your Mac, click the Apple  menu at the top left of your screen.

    In the drop-down menu, click on: about this Mac, then check the "View" tab is selected.

    The amount of RAM memory installed is noted here.

  • Can I use the CD that came with my Palm Z22 to install on my new computer Windows 8 2005?

    I'm upgrading from a Dell XP machine on a computer Dell Windows 8.  My old Palm Z22 driver installation CD will work to load the software into my new Windows 8 machine; or do I need to download a new software specifically for Windows 8?

    After losing almost three frustrating weekends, I finally got my Z22 to synchronize with Windows 8.  You never answered my first question [can I use the CD that came with my Palm Z22 to install on my new computer Windows 8 2005?], that would have eliminated a lot of uncertainty in my many attempts to synchronize with the download of version 6.2 has recommended you.  Fortunately, I wasn't the original CD with version 4.2, because 6.2 has toured with a bit more clear instructions and a new download of http://www.palmdr.com/windows-7-64-bit-usb-drivers

    Thanks for your advice in any case.
