Using an iMac with BootCamp as a screen of a Windows computer?
Hey everybody,
I was wondering if it is possible to use an iMac with BootCamp installed as a screen for a Windows laptop. If so, is there something I should know about the complexity of this solution and its sensitivity to errors etc. ?
Or, assuming that it does not work, does anyone know alternatives (Parallels very probably wouldn't be enough in my case)?
Thank you

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

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.

iMac with flickering of the screen crash
Hello
for two days my iMac starts flashing with green and bright stripes flashing until the screen is 5 cm off to the left. Finally, everything crashes. Sometimes with a blue screen, sometimes with a white screen as a window only to see a very small strip on top.
No new software has been installed, not new material. It does not start when I use special software or when it's too hot. It crashes just out of nowhere.
Test hardware Apple did not find anything. Updated for 10.11.6 does not help.
I could test or do to fix?

iMac with bootcamp only starts 10 W
I used Bootcamp to install W 10 on my iMac (El Capitan, 2012)
It worked correctly, although I didn't see the icon in the bar of sys Windows Bootcamp.
Until recently, I could change the OS by pressing the 'Option' key at the start of the IMac.
But know, he does not react to any key during startup.
It's always starting at W 10.
In Windows, I can / t see the OS x disc in Windows Explorer.
So, it seems that Windows has changed the MBR by disabling all the options of OS - x.
How can I solve this?
Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?
diskutil list
Cs diskutil list
sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0
sudo fdisk/dev/disk0
The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow
Please make sure that you double-click on the text layer in the layer panel not the name of the layer. With the text, it can be difficult if the name is too long. You can also right-click on the text layer in the Panel and bring up the contextual menu and select 'blending Options '.

I tried to format a usb drive on my iMac home for use on a Windows computer. I tried to format it on the iMac with El Capitan and format on the Windows computer, but with the same question. The files are corrupted and do not function correctly on the Windows computer at work. The files are a combination of audio files and writing. Is there a way to overcome this problem. When I used earlier versions of IOS are not usability issues.
iOS is for iPhones and iPads, but you also state El Capitan, so I guess that's what you're talking about.
There are a lot of audio formats, many writing programs, so it is quite difficult to determine if this is a problem of format of file or a problem of disc format.
Even if it's an mp3 player, wmv or any other file extension, there are more for the 'format' of an audio file of the extension.
These designations are just wrappers that contain audio information. Audio information can be encoded in a variety of different formats and still be an mp3 or wmv. An mp3 player that plays on Windows cannot play on a Mac due to using a codec that is not installed on the Mac. Apple recently purged the operating system of older, obsolete codecs. As a general rule, VideoLan VLC can play most audio and video files on Mac and Windows.
Were what type of writing files? Word, Pages, TextEdit,...?

want to use 24 "iMac as a monitor with my mac book Pro but the iMac doesn't have a port thunderbolt
Can I connect my iMac 24 "2.16Intel Core 2 Duo with single firewire ports and use it as a monitor with my MacBook Pro (thunderbolt port)? Thank you very much.
EDIT: What year is your iMac? See if your iMac is supported by the target Display Mode using the link below. If your iMac, you can use a port Mini screen Mini display port cabe using your iMac on your MacBook Pro screen. I hope this helps!
Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode
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.
