CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY MAC BOOK PRO

CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY 13"mac book pro

Your 2014 MacBook Pro should have 2 Thunderbolt ports and 1 HDMI port.  We need to find out what plug your Cinema Display has.
Does the Plug look like this:

If so, then its a DVI connector.   And you would need a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port to DVI adapter.

If not, look on the underside of the Display's frame or base/stand, there should be a model number there.

  • Using an extended display with a Mac Book Pro

    I have a new Mac Book Pro, which I am using with a larger monitor as an extended display. I would like to have the larger monitor be the main display instead of the laptop. But, I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone know how to do this or if it can even be done at all.

    KGS 75,
    Open System Preferences>Displays. When you have an external display connected, you will have an extra pane showing a graphic representation of the display geometry. To change the geomoetry, drag the icon for the external monitor to your desired position (above, below, right, left).
    Your "main" display is determined by where the menu bar is located. The menu bar is also represented in the geometry pane, shown at the top of one of the display icons. Simply drag this icon from one display to another.

  • Can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display?

    can i use HP external DVD writer on Mac Book pro with retina display? and can i use seagate external hard disk on mac book pro with retina display?

    You should have no problem using the external optical drive. As for the external HD, you'll need to format it properly, depending on whether you want to use it with a Windows machine as well as your MacBook Pro.

  • How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

    Hi folks,
    I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
    2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
    1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
    Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
    Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

  • Cinema display adapter for Mac Book Pro

    I have an old 23" Cinema display. Which adapter do I need to run it from my MacBook Pro purchased May 2008? (I was disappointed when I tried to hook it up with the extant cable)

    There are a number of Cinema displays variants and not all have the same video ports. Please look at the back of your display and post the Model code. It should be a 4-digit number preceded by either an "A" or an "M"

  • Can't use my apple displays with Mac mini

    Hey everyone,
    I've got a pretty strange problem, and I'm hoping you guys know of a solution to this.
    Thing is, I can't use any apple displays with my Mac mini box. Whenever I try to do so I can see that the monitors are turned on, but the screen is completely black (doesn't flicker or anything like that). I know for a fact that both of the apple monitors I tried work.
    However, monitors from other manufacturers work just fine! This has got me baffled, what is it about apple monitors that's got my Mac so confused ?

    It's possible the analog VGA is working on your mini whereas the DVI digital output is broken. They are two completely different interfaces that just happen to share a common connector on the mini.
    Can you possibly get your hands on another, non-Apple monitor that has a DVI input? I would say if all three are not working (two Apple monitors and a third-party one), then definitely something is up with the mini's DVI output.

  • Can you use any external display with a macbook?

    hi all,
    I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

    To original poster:
    Yes.
    Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).
    Cheers,

    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.
