    Help with early 2008 Imac screen!!!!.

    Hi all. I was recently given an early 2008 iMac that has a problem with either the screen or the graphics card, because although the mouse pointer is visible, it is almost imperceptible. I wanted to know if you can think of what it could be. It is obvious that the problem is one of the two. I...

    I cannot believe there's no way to use a 27" 2015 iMac as a second display

    It just seems totally INSANE that there's no way to use an iMac 27" 2015 as a display without hardware hacks. In 2025. I don't need high FPS or anything. I mean, the iMac and the MacBook are on the same network, surely there is some solution which works over the local network.
