I'm wanting to connect my old PC to my new iMac directly to transfer my files faster. I've been transferring via my wifi network. Will this work?

My son only uses it to connect the ethernet to his MacPro as a viable connection

(Almost certainly) Yes: it features auto crossover, which should link with %99.9 of copper UTP NICs.

It will hook up your pc to your Mac via thunderbolt using an Ethernet cable. I am not sure about your Mac recognizing the connection

Should be but check with Airlink to see if the drivers on the CD will load or if they are required for your iMAC. Airlink Wireless N 150 Ultra is compatible with MAC OS 10.4 through 10.8. If not, you may be stuck as in many cases with Apple hardware only at $$$$ the price. Here is the link: http://airlink101.com/products/awll5099.php

I haven't tried it but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be it's just a USB interface. I hope to talk to my Macintosh and it worked within seconds

Yes, I occasionally connect mine to my Macbook and it works fine. Speeds with 3.0 are great.

Installation via USB on my iMac was not difficult & works fine, but I have not been able to get wireless to work, even though it is supposed to have this capability. There are posts at various forums from others with this problem. But some report no difficulty with wireless. If you definitely want a wireless connection, I would wait until someone posts definitive instructions somewhere.

I suspect the answer is it depends on what you mean when you say "connect" - I have mine directly connected to a Mac Mini, however I also have it shared out on my home network so all of the clients on my network (to include non-MACs) are "connected" to my LaCie drive. Hope that helps.

Yes - seamlessly on wifi using your router. make sure you have Epson disk and install on IMAC machine from there. without disk download from web http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=132634&BV;_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType;=Downloads&platform;=OSF_M_X9

Not sure. I couldn't get it to transfer Mac to Mac. Didn't work for me at all.

Yes it is. Synology has documented the process quite well, http://www.synology.com/en-global/support/tutorials/481. I backup several iMacs and a Mac Mini Server to our Synology. One of the iMacs is connected using wifi, but I haven't experienced any failures.

It really depends on the file format, Windows and Mac have never been known to play well together, so the answer is yes the drive will function on either system, but the files you wish to transfer may turn out to be the problem.

You can monitor-share. If your computers are on the same wifi network, go to the Finder on the iMac, select the MacBook Air in the left-hand panel, and select the "Share Monitor..." button. (You have to have sharing set up in the Sharing Control Panel.) Once the iMac is mirroring the MBA, hit the full-screen button in the upper-right corner (I'm assuming you're running Lion or later.) Voila! You're using the iMac's monitor to run you MBA. The only other way that I'm aware of to use the iMac as a "monitor" for the MBA would be to restart the MBA in Target mode, and restart the iMac to use the MBA as its startup disk. The problem is that the iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt connector and the MBA doesn't have a Firewire connector. I think you could connect the two through a USB hub, but I'm not sure. In any case, you'd be running on the iMac, not the MBA, so I don't think there's anything to be gained by that.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Your Mac doesn't care what device is connecting it to the Internet, as long as the device can talk via Ethernet. The cable modem will connect to your computer via Ethernet and you should be OK.

Hello Linda, I have a 2TB version that works flawlessly with my 21" iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo version) running OS X 10.8.4 I see no reason for it to not work with your new MacBook.Best regards.

It uses USB - you shouldn't need anything different. It goes from my iMac to my two MacBooks with ease.

Are you asking if you can connect it to a Mac via USB and upload photos? Yes, you can. Are you asking if you can wirelessly connect and automatically upload photos? Yes, if you have Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later. Be advised that wireless setup is challenging. Also, you will be required to use Canon's Camera Window application to transfer images; it's impossibly slow, even on a current iMac. Here are the best instructions for wireless setup...what they don't say is that in order to do the first step, you must have an empty card...http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201649400.html

Yes, it will, if the DiskStation (DS) is connected (wired) to the wireless router. However, i'd rather use a wired connection between the Mac and the DS, preferably a 1 Gigabit one. And would manually adjust the ethernet MTU (maximum transmission unit) on both Mac and DiskStation to 9000 bytes. This way, you'd get up to 60/70 Mb/s on the transfer from your Mac to the DiskStation and your backups would be very fast. Hope it helps!

Hello and Good Afternoon Margaret P., please bare in mind this mac mini is a stand alone computer similar in nature to your existing and would increase speed on your older computer. I do believe however it can be connected to each for communication purposes, such data exchange etc. Thanks and have a nice day.
