Used Basic Imac - help
I am looking to buy an Imac used/given to nine. I want so he could be around for a while if only used for purposes of research later (the kid get down).
- I do mostly internet research
- Maybe watching movies
- I do not have photoshop but like to do simple photo montages
- I need something like a note or a word for my business online
- Basically, I don't think I'm doing something too crazy?
I am very confused when you look at all the different technical features. I've NEVER owned a mac, but have an Iphone and Ipad
We have a limited budget but it would still take some time.
Suggestions?
Consider a refurb from Apple. They come with a full warranty and the option to purchase AppleCare warranty, I recommend always extended. They are usually a few hundred dollars off retail. I always buy Mac refurb. http://www.Apple.com/Shop/Browse/home/specialdeals/Mac

Can I use an iMac as a PC monitor with a cable Thunderbolt?
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop computer with a bolt of lightning display port, I would be able to connect to a new iMac or iMac with the 5K retina via a cable Thunderbolt and target Display Mode to use it as a monitor? Thanks for the help!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, the answer is no. Please read use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode Apple is very specific to computers that will work. There is a solution available, but it is based on a connection Wi - Fi and performance is poor, not useful to examine same IMHO.

When I open Safari from the dock it shows as usual, but when I try to connect to it looking for Web sites, it does not. can't display preferences etc either. Also, my wife uses the Imac and has a separate login ID and its works very well for her. Worked ok until the end of the week. Any ideas how to fix? Have tried to install the latest version of Mac OS X, but nothing helps.
What version of Mac OS X is installed, your profile shows 10.7 but I suspect that it is not correct.

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

P.S. The target Display Mode feature does work through Thunderbolt or Mini display port, you can do this via Firewire, as is any other protocol used to transfer files, not for input/output display.

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 used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?
If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.
It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.
Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.
Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

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

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.
