How to connect 20" apple cinema dispay to 17"Mac Pro

I got a 20"apple cinema display(2004)
Now I wanna hook it up with my 17"Macbook Pro (2007)
The problem is that I have 4 cables coming from the display. 2 is compatible with my notebook (USB and firewire), however, the other 2 cable (DVI and power) are not compatible.
So does anyone know what should I do to correctly connect my notebook to the display? like which kinda of DVI cable and power cable should I buy?
Thanks a lot~

The Cinema Display 20 requires a special external (white brick) power supply that should have come with the display. If it didn't, you'll have to look for one on the used market or at third-party retailers. Apple no longer sells it. It's possible that the supply for a Cinema 30 would also work with a 20, but I'm not sure.
The connector for an external display on a 2007 MacBook Pro is DVI and ought to work with a Cinema 20's DVI connector without the need for any adapter or special cable.

  • How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

    I have a brand new 27 inch iMac. I also own a 30 inch  Apple Cinema Display.  What peripheral adaptor do I need to connect the display to my new iMac?

    Hello,
    Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort-> Dual Link DVi cable...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.

  • HT3235 How to connect or activate mini dvihdmi port on Mac pro 10.6x ?

    Why when I plug mini dvihdmicable adapter into the mini dvi port and then into my HDTV nothing happens? What am I not doing?

    The device you bought looks like the Plugable adapter I bought, which is based on Prolific PL2303, so you just need to know what the tty for the serial device is.  The drivers on the Plugable site says 10.6 or greater, so maybe try those.
    http://plugable.com/products/pl2303-db9
    In my case, its /dev/tty.usbserial.  If you want to just connect to a switch, install the drivers and use screen like so:
    screen <serial device> <baud rate>
    ex:
    screen /dev/tty.usbserial 115200

  • How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?

    How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard  about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?

    Which video card?  5x70?  If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor).  And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    It's not really complicated.  Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up.   For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters.  For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio.

  • HT4628 My ipad and iphone connect and recognize wifi signal, but my mac pro running 10.6.8 does not  recognize or list the wiifi signal as option, any ideas?

    Hi,
    In Austria, iphone and ipad "see" and connect to wifi signal no problem but mac pro in same room will not even allow me to choose the same wifi signal.  It seems almost blocked.  Havectried everything it seems by restarting, deleting preferred accoints, etc.  software is updated but running osx 10.6.8
    Thanks for any help!

    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.

    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • Installing Apple RAID Card on original Mac Pro 1.1

    After months of waiting, I finally received my ordered Apple RAID Card suggested by Apple Italia per upgrading my Mac Pro station to handle HD editing. OK. Great. the problem is that the inside of my Mac Pro does not resemble the illustrations in the manual and I can't find any instructions for mounting the card (it's the right one, on this site I found it and ordered the right one, the blue card) but I DON'T have the PCI Slider illustrated in the manual. Since you clame that I CAN install this RAID card (otherwise I wouldn't have bought it!) but I don't know if the absence of ANY sliding element in the place of the PCI Slider mentioned means that I have to connect wires, change the inside, go to an Apple Authorized Dealer (where I bought the thing!)? Can anyone help me?

    The instructions can be found here for the first generation Mac Pro:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/MacPro_RAIDCardInstallation.pdf.
    Not sure what you mean by 'PCI Slider'. If you can reference the step this component is mention in the manual it might help.
