I'm hooking up an external monitor to my 24" iMac. It's being hooked up DVI, problem is, when it's plugged in, the picture on the Dell monitor I'm trying to use just jutters and shakes. I tried different resolution options and none worked, most just left the Dell monitor black. I calibrated the monitor and that stopped the shaking, but when I look at the monitor everything is too big and there are still tons of "bright" pixels in the background, along with some faint lines..it just isn't right.

Would I use an Airport Express? Kind of new to wireless and what you can and can't do.

Is there a way to hook up a external monitor to the 24" iMac as in the same way you can do with a macbook pro? Reason being is that I want the 24" iMac and I want to do photo editing. I'm getting mixed reviews on it due to the glossy screen. Some say yes and others say no. I have a 21 inch LCD display that I am not using. I was wondering if I can use it when I need to edit photos. I can't afford the macbook pro that I want so my next option is the iMac.

Problem: the image is pixelated and blurry green. I can slightly see the background though. Screen works fine on a Windows pc. Before I hooked up a 19" on my MBP and that also worked.
I tried the menu but no luck. And when I choose the auto adjustment a message appears 'not available'.
I am hoping to play a DVD off my iMac computer or Mac Laptop, and was wondering if this is possible - perhaps through the red, yellow and white input/output chords?

I can hear the drives start spinning when I start to do a search, but they don't do it well enough, because generally the finder hangs and often I have to crash out and restart. The problem doesn't occur with the drive I use for time machine, so I can leave that hooked up, but often I have other drives attached so I can access material on them. Trouble is, they seem to spin down when I'm not using them and then they cause trouble whenever I do a search. L. P.S. I'm on a 2009 imac running 10.7.4. I have 4 gigs of RAM.

Is there any way I can use it as an extra monitor? Could i come out of my new one via Thunderbolt to Mini DVI? Even if is available, would the old iMac act like a monitor?

2008 iMac, OS 10.6.8. Bought a 2004 Dell monitor, hoping to hook it up to watch internet tv (Hulu) on while I do work on main monitor. Went from on the Dell to the iMac's mini-dv port.

I need to know how to calibrate my monitor so that I know what my photographs are going to look like before they get printed. Either that or would it be better to buy a third party calibrator, like X-rite?

I just bought a LG IPS 226v-PN monitor and am using a mini-dsiplayport to HDMI adapter to connect.The monitor was automatically found and I can see and use it as a dual monitor but I am seen a snow like effect on the screen with pixel randomly activating (looks like snow).The other problem is the screen keeps turning off and on.I have switched it to both NTSC and PAL on the iMac.

At present my computer is an old PPC eMac with OS X 10.4.11. I want to buy an up-to-date 21" iMac. (I can't afford either the cost or the space for a 27" one.) But I have a mass of software and of files (a host of articles, etc., in that old warhorse, AppleWorks, for instance, and the scores of my musical compositions in an old version of Finale) which, for reasons it would be tedious to go into here, I cannot update so that they would work in the iMac.
If I buy the iMac, I want, for reasons of space, to get rid of my present eMac. But I have the offer of an old PPC Mac Mini with the same OS as my present eMac, to which I could transfer the contents of my present eMac hard disk. If I were to do that, I would want to use the new iMac as a monitor for the Mini. On the face of it, this cannot be achieved with the 21" iMac (only with the 27" iMac).
Is there any software or other adaptor-device that would permit this? I have looked at the EyeTV website, and it looks to me as if that is not what I would need.
I have an iMac 27-late 2009 (YD03003M5PE) I'm considering buying a macbook air for business travel, but when I'm home would like to use it through my monitor and keyboard. what's the best way to do that? should i connect it directly as a monitor? / keyboard? (hardware connection) can this be done through the video port? alternatively, should i use a remote screen/monitor access of some sort? (software connection)

I would like to find a non-working 21.5" iMac, and use it as a second monitor to my existing 21.5"er.
Of course, the monitor portion would need to be working.
I would like the second monitor to match the iMac. I can't find a 3rd party mfg'er that makes a monitor that matches close enough.

I am in the process of burning several home video tapes to DVDs. Sharing a HD video can take up to 5 hours.I can't seem to get my monitor to stay off during that time.Is there a way to do that? If not, can I create a shortcut to the "display" settings so I can quickly turn the brightness down as much as possible?
