How to connect the 27" cinema display to Mac Pro?

Hallo, I want to connect my mac pro, early 2008, with force gtx 285 to a apple cinema display 27", which adapter do I need??? Sorry for my english, I'm from austria. Thanks for your help :-)

To drive the 27" to its full reolution you need a male dual link DVI to female mini-displayport adaptor.  Apple makes one but it is not cheap ($99).  Stick "dual link dvi to mini-displayport adaptor" into a google search and maybe you can find something cheaper.

  • How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

    I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end.  The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again.  I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound.  The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal.  Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
    I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work?  I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
    Many thanks

    How to connect old LED Cinema Display (Mini DisplayPort)

    Ideas?

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

    can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly.  If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • New cinema display on Mac Pro monitor keeps turning off/going dark. Support told me a keyboard shortcut (something like option R L)... I'd appreciate it if anyone knows it. I had this problem when i 1st bought it 2 months ago.

    My new cinema display fro mac pro just went dark. When I 1st bought it, the display wouldn't turn on.I called support and they gave me a keyboard shortcut - something like Option+R+L - that you held down for 2 restart cycles. Then it magically turned on. I can't remember the sequence and I'm afraid to guess! I'd appreciate if anyone knows the trick. I'm also wondering if I should bring this display back...

    Cassandra from Apple Support ROCKS!!!! She's a supervisor somewhere and should have a raise. Pleasant, smart and professional with a customer who wouldn't take "I don't know" for an answer.
    If your cinema display goes dark:
    1. shut down computer
    2. restart
    3. immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R keys simultaneously for a few minutes (seems forever)
    4. keep holding keys for 2 startup cycles
    5. release and go back to work if you're lucky to have a restored screen

  • 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.

  • 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 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..

  • How to connect 2 24" Cinema Displays to a non Thunderbolt MBP

    Hi I have a 2010 15" MBP and two 24" Apple Cinema Displays.  I recently purchased a Matrox DualHead2Go Digital ME graphics expander thinking I could connect the two displays to it.  However, the displays have mini displayport connectors and the Matrox is expecting DVI-D connectors.  It seems that Matrox do not have a female mini displayport to male DVI adaptor so I am stuck.
    Has anyone found a way of connecting two 24" Apple Cinema Displays to a non Thunderbolt MBP?
    Thanks in advance
    Neville

    Just got the DualHead2Go DP edition. Problem is, I need a MiniDP (female) to DP (male) adapter to connect my two Apple 24" LED displays to it... and I can't find one anywhere? basically the DualHead2go only has DP inputs. All of my devices (24" LED displays and 17" MBP) are MiniDP.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • How to connect 22" Apple Cinema Display with ADC to Mini DisplayPort?

    What are my chances to connect a 22" Apple Cinema Display with ADC connection to my new MacBook Pro with its Mini DisplayPort? Is there a combo possible of some adapter with some cable for instance?

    You need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter

  • Connecting a 20" Cinema Display and MacBook Pro 4,1

    I admit I bought a cinema display from a co-worker because I thought it'd be nice to have a larger screen to attach to my MacBook pro 4,1. However, the monitor has a flat connector that doesn't seem to fit anywhere on my laptop. Is there some sort of adapter I can get? I've seen similar questions posted, but none with my exact specs.
    Or, should I just sell the monitor back to him or someone else?

    It says: Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Maybe I'm a total dork. on the right side, I see, back to front: a monitor adaptor (which i use at work to plug in a Dell), an Ethernet port, a square-ish port with a firewire symbol, another firewire (with the 'dog-eared' edge), a USB, and then a tiny tiny rounded little hole that doesn't appear to go to anything. On the other side, I have the magnetic power cord, another USB, and two small round holes - one for DVI?, one for headphones.
    This is where I get a little confused. The Cinema Display looks like the one in the bottom right of this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_DisplayPort, and the little round port on the left of my laptop has the same symbol, but is the size of the headphone port.
    Do I need some adapter from the squareish one to the little round one?
