How to connect old LED Cinema Display to new iMac

How to connect old LED Cinema Display (Mini DisplayPort)
to new iMac (thunderbolt port)?
Ideas?

Just plug it into the Thunderbolt port. That port directly supports mini-DisplayPort screens.

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 want to connect my old 23" cinema display to new iMac 5K retina

I have just ordered a brand new iMac with 5K retina display & would like to link up my old 23" Cinema display to it so I can continue to have my dual screen workstation as I have done since 2005.
I could do with a little advice before it arrives as to what adaptor I will need in order to connect the two.
I am currently connected to an old 17" MacBook Pro so am unsure of how it will work with the new iMac?
The old cinema display has a 3-cable configuration (USB / Firewire / DVI cable) connecting from the power adaptor over to my MacBook Pro.

Hi John
Thanks for replying,
My current setup is this, my non apple router is accessed wirelessly by all my computers, ie imac, mac mini and macbook pro, ipad & iphones for internet.
My printer is in another room so therefore I cannot connect the AEBS (airport extreme base station) with an ethernet cable (I have intially in order to update the firmware and other updates) so in following the attached guidelines are you saying that I have to have the AEBS connected with the ethernet cable to the router?
I was hoping to wirelessly connect.
The wish is that all my devices can print wirelessly
What has happened though is that I can access the AEBS wirelessly, but it has disabled me from my router so I cannot connect to the internet neither to that network
Any other advice
Thanks
Regards

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...

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.

I need to connect my LED cinema display to nvidia quadro 4000 graphics card

I cant find any adapter to connect my "LED cinema display" to the brand new graphics card "nvidia quadro 4000 (for Mac pro)"
As i coldnt find any information since now, ihope someone can give me a hint.

They included the wrong DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter. The correct adapter should have a female Mini DisplayPort connector, not male. You could buy the correct adapter or you could add a F-F Mini DisplayPort coupler

Try calling the, and asking for the correct adapter. They fo say:
"Connect to mini-DisplayPort displays through the included adapter cable"

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
Sigve

Hi
Thanks for Swift reply.
Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
Are the A1088 now useless?
The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
Please advise
Regards
Sigve

How to connect a 2009 Cinema Display with mini DisplayPort to modern card

Hello:
I am ready to install a new NVidia Quadro K5000 for Mac in my not so old Mac Pro 4,1 (2009). I already installed Mountain Lion (10.8.3) as required. The problem is that the Mac Pro came with a Led Cinema Display which apparently only can be connected with a mini DisplayPort plug and the graphics card only have DVi and DP 1.2. I tried to find an adapter but the ones I have find are minidp male to DVI female and obviously I need a minidp female to DVI or DP female.
I will appreciate any help.

How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire). Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need? Thank you very much for your help.

To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop. Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ?

Using old 20" Cinema Display on new Macbook Pro

Hi all
I have a new Macbook Pro runing OS X 10.7. I want to connect it to my old 20" Cinema display (aluminium one that I bought with a G5 around 7 years ago). I've got got the Mini Display Port to DVI adaptor, but this doesn't seem to work - it won't detect the display. Any clues?
Thanks in advance

Does your Displays system preference show an Arrangement tab? If not there there is something wrong with the connections or the display itself. Nothing further can be done on your computer if the Displays preferences don't detect the presence of the display and that would be indicated by having the Arrangement tab showing both screens.
Check yiour connections, especially the mini-displayport connection. Make sure it is firmly pushed in. They can look like they are fully inserted but actually aren't.

I'm trying to connect my 23" Cinema display to my iMac, need help with connector cable.

I'm trying to connect my 23" Cinema Display monitor to my iMac. The adaptor cable I ordered came with a female, I need a male adaptor. Any ideas where I might find one? I purchased the BlueRigger Mini Displayport Male to DVI Female Adapter Cable.

I have the 23" aluminum Cinema Display. I just can't seem to find the right adaptor for the monitor femal plug on the backside. I've tried a Bluerigger but it was a female adaptor. I believe I need a male.

Problem connecting a 24" Cinema Display to an Imac 27"

My friend has an Imac 27 "with a graphics card AMD HD 6970M 1GB. She wanted to connect an external Cinema Display 24" (without thunderbolt serie). The external display has started to display black screen intermittently while making a strange noise. Before this screen, there was a aluminum Cinema Display 20 " which never had any problem. The 24" Cinema Display was just before used as external screen for a Mac Book Pro 15" (main screen, no dual screen) without problem too. Any idea? Is the card too weak for such a configuration?The iMac was purchased on October 15th on the refurb. The Os is Lion 10.7.2.

If the computer doesn't have a Mini DIsplayPort or DisplayPort, not until September; click here for more information. If you mean the MagSafe connector, leave it unplugged; it's only for laptops.

Need help urgently! Thanks.

no 3rd party solutions available?
As I said, there are no converters available, from any source.
