How to connect an Apple ADC display to a new Mac mini?

Has anyone found a way to connect the brand new mac mini, either HDMI or micro to an older Apple display that has an ADC connector on it? Where to buy - the Apple store does not have their DVI to ADC adapter. Thanks.

I found one here for $139:

  • Can I connect my 20" Cinema Display to my new mac mini?

  • Using An ASD LCD display with a new Mac Mini

    I want to utilize a 17" Apple Studio Display with my new Mac Mini.
    Does HDMI support the 35-pin Apple Display Connector (ADC)?
    It would require an adapter with female 35-pin on one side and a male HDMI (DVI) on the other. The Apple DVI to ADC adapter doesn't work with the Mac Mini HDMI port.
    If two adapters are needed they must have the correct gender connections.
    Thanks.

    Your correct, you would need an Apple DVI to ADC adapter, And ether mini display port to DVI OR HDMI to DVI adapter. (just a question of witch port you want to use)
    Apple DVI to ADC adapter when they were first released cost about 120; now they're kind of rare and harder to find. Online they can go for 200 dollars. so 120 to 200 dollars to make your display work; and displays don't last for ever they have parts that will break down. Older displays have a light bulb inside them; witch burn out just like all the other light bulbs in your house.
    Also DVI to ADC adapters can some times give you blurry images and or text.
    For 120 dollars you can buy a generic brand 19" LCD. That 19" LCD would have better contrast ratio, brightness, and refresh rate then the old 17" monitor. (and it would have a warranty) Or for 200 dollars you could buy 23" monitor.

    The 30" display needs a DUAL-LINK adapter.

  • How do I plug a VGA monitor into a new mac mini?

    How do I plug a VGA monitor into a new mac mini?
    Why do Apple change everything all the time?

    You need an adaptor, HDMI to DVI is included in the package, take HDMI to VGA or thunderbolt which, in case of monitor, is the same as minidisplay port to VGA. Apple has always upgraded the best output port, unfotunately monitor manufacturers have not done the same.

  • Can I use my iMac with a thunderbolt connection as an Display for my new Mac Mini with thunderbolt ??

    Can I use my new Mac Mini with Leopard and thunderbolt in connection with my new iMac as a display ?

    If it's a 27" iMac. I don't believe Target Display Mode is supported on the 21" model. But not with a Mac Mini running Leopard. It would need to be running Lion.

  • Using ADC Monitor with the new Mac Mini

    My husband has an Apple monitor with an ADC connection. I would like to purchase the new Mac Mini, but would like to use his current monitor. I know there is an ADC to DVI adapter, but the new Mac Mini uses the Mini Display...could I use yet another adapter? I am trying to save money, but don't want to the display quality to be really poor. Space is not an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have located that, but my concern is the DVI connection to the Mini Display connection on the Mac Mini. My understanding is that they are different.

  • How to connect a apple cinema display to an imac

    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.

  • 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..

  • Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

    I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

  • How can i use dual 23" apple cinema hd display on a new mac mini

    i have the old apple displays and really dont want to let go of them yet. Model # M8537ZM/A.
    I currently have them both hooked up to my G5 powerPC, thru the DVI to ADC adapter. Model # M8661LL/B
    Im tired of not being able to update my plug ins and some sites have become unable to even view without being up to date.
    So im looking to buy a new Mac, but i will NOT spend another $2000+ for apple to call it outdated in a few years.
    The Mac Mini looks to be a good buy only if i can it up to be on my DUAL 23" Apple Cinema Displays, Model # M8537ZM/A.
    Please let me know what i would need to buy to make this all work, or if it not possable.
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, I loved those monitors. Ten years ago. If they're still working for you, terrific; they are quite nice. Unfortunately, the ADC cable is going to make using them with modern Macs a bit of a Rube Goldberg experience.
    The late-2012 Mini has a Thunderbolt port and an HDMI port. Both can be used to drive those displays.
    Thunderbolt Port
    1- Buy a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter
    2- Now buy a DVI to ADC adapter. Not cheap, and Apple doesn't carry them anymore, but they can be found.
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-DVI-to-ADC-Adapter/dp/B0000E2O14
    HDMI Port
    1- Buy an HDMI to DVI Adapter. One of these comes in the box with every Mini, so I won't link it.
    2- Now buy a DVI to ADC adapter. Not cheap, and Apple doesn't carry them anymore, but they can be found.
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-DVI-to-ADC-Adapter/dp/B0000E2O14
    Note that each DVI to ADC adapter will need access to AC power to provide power to each monitor. You already know this if you have these adapters.
    Just something to think about: There are some people still running old Macs with ADC output who are desperate to find good-condition, larger-size ADC monitors. You might be able to sell yours on eBay or through some other means for more than enough to finance your purchase of new, higher-resolution HDMI or DVI monitors and avoid all the adapters and extra electrical taps.

  • Can I use my iMac's display for my new Mac mini?

    I have an Intel-Based iMac. I just purchased a mini with no monitor. Can I use the display on my iMac as the monitor?

    Thanks Dave. But I'm still left with a problem: I don't have a stand-alone monitor! Now here's another posting I found:
    +*Setting Up a Headless Mac Mini without a Monitor*+
    +I only have laptops and no external monitors, so I needed a way to setup the Mini without a monitor. It was really easy, following these steps:+
    +-connect a keyboard to the Mini+
    +-start the Mini in FireWire Disk Mode+
    +-connect the MacBook Pro to the Mini with FireWire cable+
    +-restart the MBP using the Mini as the boot disk+
    +-setup the Mini with network access and remote management (Sharing)+
    +-reboot the MBP with its own disk+
    +-disconnect the Mini and reboot+
    +Voila! Now you should be able to use Screen Sharing over your network to remotely control your Mini-no keyboard or mouse required.+
    Well, I do have a MacBook Pro. So can I set up my new mini like this?

  • How to connect my 20" Cinema Display with my new 27" TB-Display...

    ... running the latest OSX 10.9.1 on my MB Air 2013 8GB RAM/1.7 Intel Core i7?
    I have the Apple DVI to MiniDisplayport adapter too for the Cinema Display.
    Before I bought the display an apple technician at Hamburg Apple store told me I could plug the MiniDisplayport adapter into the thunderbolt port of the 27 TB-Display to run both displays, which does not work, which I could read just now in a support article here. But it is not mentioned how to make it work. Please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance

    You need a drive with two Thunderbolt ports.  Plug the Thunderbolt display's Thunderbolt cable into the computer.  Connect one Thunderbolt port of the disk drive to the Thunderbolt port on the back of the Thunderbolt display.  Plug the Mini DisplayPort adapter into the other Thunderbolt port on the disk drive.
