QuickSilver 2002 (M8493) and the new apple cinema displays

I desperately want to buy myself one of these beautiful displays on eBay but am afraid that it doesn't connect to my machine. Can anyone confirm that for me. I went here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
and that made me think I have a ADC and VGA display connection. The new displays use a DVI Display Connection. Would I need to buy something else to connect the two? Currently I have a dinosaur 21: NEW MultiSync, from forever ago . . . .

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums!
To connect an ADC video card to a DVI monitor, you need this adapter.
Regards,
Dave

  • Will my MBA work with the new LED Cinema Display

    I have a first generation MBA, model identifier MBA 1.1, and want to know if my mini display adapter will work with the new LED Cinema Display. I believe I have a micro-DVI that is different from the new MacBooks and MacBook Professional models that have a new Mini DisplayPort. If anyone is using this old MBA to new LED Cinema Display combination please let me know.

    Scott,
    The new display isn't shipping from Apple until some time in November so the only direct feedback you'll get is from anyone that's been to the store and played with the demo unit.
    With that being said, it would appear (based on the system specs and requirements, posted on the site) that the new display requires the new adapter type that's found only on the new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID.  I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match.  Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions?  If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Hello everyone, hoping for some help with my new Apple Cinema Display 20"

    Hi everyone, I bought an Apple Cinema Display 20 inch LCD monitor, just about 3 weeks ago. I have two issues I am hoping to get some help with.
    1) I am using the screen on a PC with Windows XP, and I was very disappointed at the lack of PC support. I have no on screen display (OSD), so I can't see what percentage I have my brightness set to, and I can't alter the colour or contrast of the display, etc. Luckily it defaulted to very good settings, but I would really like to be able to use the (fan made?) program called "WinACD". If I would be best asking somewhere else, please direct me there. If not, my problem is that I installed it added the "Controls" tab, but it just says, Virtual Control Panel "None Present". I have tried googling for an answer, and I have seen many suggestions, but none of them worked. I installed the WinACD driver without my USB lead plugged in, and someone said that was important. So I have tried uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling it again with the USB plugged in, and a device plugged in to my monitor to be sure. It didn't seem to help. I have actually done this process a few times, just to be sure. So I would really like to get that working if possible.
    2) I am disappointed at the uniformity of the colour on the display. I have seen other people mention this (again, after a google search), and that someone seemed to think it is just an issue we have to deal with, with this generation of LCD monitors. Before I bought this screen, I had an NEC (20wgx2), and it had a very similar issue. Most of the time, you cannot see any problem at all, but if you display an entire screen with a dark (none prime) colour, like a dark blue green colour, you can see areas where it is slightly darker than others. It was more defined on the NEC screen, and that is why I returned it. I now bought this Apple Cinema Display, because it was the only good alternative to the NEC. (It has an 8bit S-IPS / AS-IPS panel, which was important to me). But the problem exists in this screen too. It isn't as bad thankfully, but it still exists... I have actually tried a third monitor just to be sure, and the problem existed very slightly in that one, so I think I am probably quite sensitive in that I can detect it.
    It is most noticable to me, because I do everything on this PC. I work, I watch films, and I play games. 99% of the time, I cannot see this problem. But in some games (especially one)... the problem is quite noticeable. When you pan the view around, my eyes are drawn to the slight areas on my screen which are darker, and it ruins my enjoyment. To confirm it wasn't just the game, like I said, I can use a program to make the entire screen display one solid colour, and if you pick the right type of colour (anything that isn't a bright primary colour), I can see the problem - albeit fairly faintly.
    I am pretty positive that it is not my graphics card or any other component of my PC, by the way, because everything is brand new and working perfectly, and the graphics card specifically, I have upgraded and yet the problem remains - even on the new card. Also, the areas that are darker, are different on this screen than on the other screens I have used.
    So basically, I would like to register my disappointment at the lack of perfect uniformity on a screen which cost me £400 (over double what most 20 inch LCD screens cost), and I would like to know if anybody could possibly suggest a way to fix it?
    It is upsetting, becuase although this problem exists on other screens too, this is, as far as I know, the most expensive 20" LCD monitor available today, and uses the best technology available too.
    p.s. If anyone would like to use the program that lets you set your entire PC screen a specific colour, it is called "Dead Pixel Buddy", and it is a free piece of software, made by somebody to check for dead pixels. But I found it useful for other things too, including looking at how uniform the colour of the screen is. That's not to say I was specifically looking for this problem by the way... the problem cought my eye.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've been talking about this on another forum too, and I made some pictures in photoshop to describe the problem. Here is what I posted on the other forum:
    Yes, "brightness uniformity" definitely seems to be the best description of my issue.
    Basically it just seems like there are very faint lines down the screen, that are slightly darker than the other areas on the screen. They aren't defined lines, and they aren't in a pattern. It's just slight areas that are darker, and the areas seem like narrow bands/lines. Usually you can't see it, but in some cases, it is quite noticeable. It is mainly when I'm playing a game. The slightly darker areas are not visible, and then when the image moves (because I am turning in a car, or turning a plane, or turning in a shooter etc.) the image moves, but these slightly darker areas stay still, and that makes them really stand out.
    As for how it looks, I tried to make an example in photoshop:
    Original Image:
    http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3045/td1ja9.jpg
    Then imagine turning the car around a bend, and then it looks like this:
    http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/959/td2hq7.jpg
    It's those lines in the clouds. If you can tab between the two images, you can see the difference easily. Imagine seeing those lines appear, every single time you move in a game. (I haven't tested this in movies yet, but I am assuming it's the same).
    It isn't very clear on a static image. But when the image moves, the darker areas stay in the same place and it draws your eyes towards them. It isn't terrible, but it is annoying, especially consider how much this screen cost.

  • Where can I buy a Brand New Apple Cinema Display 30"?

    Hi,
    I Already posted my question in the older Display topic, but I'm not sure it was the good place, so I post it here. If it's not the good place, you can move my thread to the good topic. Thanks.
    I'm looking for mounths to buy a brand new 30" Apple Cinema Display. I went to some Apple reseller/Apple Stores and each of them didn't really knew where I could buy it since it's discontinued. I can't believe there is no brand new 30" Apple Cinema Display lying around in some Apple Stores/Apple general center at Toronto or anywhere in USA.
    I really want one of them, and I'm ready to make anything to get one (phone call etc). I would like to get some help of where I can call or where I can go to get what I want. The price doesn't really matter now.
    Thanks!

    Have you done google searches for it ("Apple 30" cinema display")?  That's all I can recommend.
    A quick google search turned up this page which apparently lists some new 30"s.
    Note, I did not follow those links to see if "new" really meant "new".

  • How Can I Test New Apple Cinema Display?

    My new 30" Apple Cinema Display arrived today but the arrival of my MacBook Pro is still 4 weeks out (I ordered both at the same time for dual warranty purposes). I cannot hook this ACD to my wife's 12" PB and the only other computer that may have the ability is my daughter's new iMac Intel Core Duo (but I'm not sure if it will power the 30" ACD). I would like to test for stuck or dead pixels. Can I plug the AC cord into an outlet and no video connection then power on or will this show no pixel anomolies, or worse, cause potential harm to my display? Anyone? Thanks to all that may reply.
    PS: I threatened to cancel my order unless the Supervisor allowed me time to evaluate the new monitor the full 2 weeks AFTER the arrival of my MacBook Pro, so I have plenty of time, just no computer to run the darn thing!
    PowerBook G4 12" aluminum & iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   Apple 30" Cinema Display w/ iLift LCD monitor arm

    I think pretty much any Mac with DVI will drive the 30" ACD, just not at the native resolution. You will get 1280x800. But if you are just looking at a solid full screen of a single color, for the purpose of trying to spot dead/stuck pixles, the low res shouldn't make any difference at all for such purposes.

  • Wifi speed and the new Apple TV concerns

    One of the great things about my classic ATV is that I can start downloading a movie before dinner, and know that my viewing experience later won't be subject to variances in the wifi speed. In my experience, wifi speed and reliability can vary widely - and my worst nightmare is a video that stutters or freezes.
    I new the new box has the faster modern chip, but I'm concerned Apple has no control over what might be the weak link: the wifi connection.
    Is it time to make a run on a couple of classic boxes? Are they still in stock anywhere?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • 5770 with 27" Apple LED and two 20" Apple Cinema Displays w/Mac Pro

    As stated, I just bought a brand new Mac Pro 8-core (2010 ID 5,1) with a 5770 card and I'm trying to hook up a new 27" Apple LED and two 20" cinema displays. One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770 and the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port. When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing. The screen is black and the it is not recognized as being connected. I'm using the standard DVI connector that came with the 20" direct into the 5770. To make sure it isn't a monitor problem, I switched out the 20" displays and both work using the MDP adapter but neither work plugging directly into the DVI port on the 5770. I believe the 20" monitors use DVI-D. (Is that correct?) So what's the scoop on getting blank screens when plugging into the DVI port on the 5770? Thanks for any help.

    "• the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port.
    • One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770.
    • When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing.
    Note: If you are using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports.
    If you are connecting three displays, any DVI displays must be connected to either the Dual-Link DVI port or must use an Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Adapter.
    You MUST use All "Active" or "Powered" Mini DisplayPort connector such as the Apple Dual Link, or you can only use two displays

  • "New" Apple Cinema Displays coming?

    Any word on the rumor front of new ACD's coming out? Aside from the alleged 17" budget display, I've red some rumblings about new ACD's.
    If they make them in black....count me in.
    In general, I think Apple needs to make more things in black. Call me trivial, but how frakkin' good would the Mac Pro, the Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, and Cinema Displays liike with an anodized black aluminum enclosure? But obviously, the case color is not all that I'm interested in with the possibility of new monitors.

    Obviously, HDMI and expanded inputs would be a nice thing.

  • 2008 Mac Pro and Apple Cinema Display 27"

    Is there some sort of adapter that would allow me to plug the new Apple Cinema Display 27" with a 2008 Mac Pro? Or what change would I have to make to be able to work this out?

    Adrian - did you end up getting an adapter and using it? I purchased the Atlona DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter (AT-DP200) to connect my 2008 MacbookPro (with GeForce 8600M GT) to the new 27 in. Cinema display, and though it works, it looks a bit fuzzy in terms of resolution. Having read the response here about making sure it is a DUAL link converter, I was going to try to return it for the AT-DP400.
    Then I read another thread on here that seemed to indicate that the AT-DP400 would not work at all with the 2008 Macbook Pro.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2585380&tstart=0
    So now I'm confused. Just wondering what your experience is, if you ended up with getting the display and converter.

  • Apple Cinema Display 24inch USB Issues

    I recently purchased the new apple cinema display 24" to use on my macbook pro 13"inch.
    the Display work flawlessly until yesterday, i came to my office as usual connected my macbook pro the display turned on but I couldn't get my keyboard to work. (Apple USB Keyboard) my magic mouse worked just fine.
    I went through troubleshooting and I realized that the USB's in the Cinema display are not working, of course if the USB's are not working that means Isight and the built in microphone aren't working either.
    I recently upgraded my mac, installed a 500GB HD and installed snow leopard 10.6.2. but I don't think thats the issue because the screen worked before with leopard.
    So i turned off my macbook, disconnected magic mouse, I unplugged my cinema display for the power. then power everything all together. not happened.
    but then later suddenly the keyboard, Isight, microphone worked for the entire day.
    I came back today to the office and i'm going through the same problem.
    Could it be just a software issue or is it Hardware. I hope its software.

    Take a look in System Profiler next time it happens. If the devices still appear in the USB section, it's probably software. If they're gone, it's probably hardware.

  • On/off Button and brightness buttons don't work in the Apple Cinema Display

    I write you because I bought a new apple cinema display 20" a month ago and I have problems with the on and off button and the brightness buttons. Thew work sometimes. I think that te problem is windows XP but I am not sure. My graphics card is a ATI RADEON X800 GT Gecube 256 Mb DDR2.
    Would yo mind telling me how can repair that? If I need something to repair o it is better to buy the new windows to avoid that problem.
      Windows XP Pro   ATI Radeon X800GT Gecube 256 Mb DDR2

    Thank you very much. I didn't know this driver.
    But the problem was when I was installing this driver, Windows said that it's imcompatible with windows XP.Is this normal? o I need to download a special edition for windows xp.

  • New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays ???

    I seem to recall that during the WWDC New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays were made public.
    What are these new specs ?
    Or am I mistaken?<<br>
    PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thanks a.brody
    The Online Apple Store and the Apple dealers here in Germany either don't seem to be aware of the new specs or they have a lot of the "older" displays (Brightnes: 270 cd/m2 Contrast: 400:1) left in stock which they want or need "to get rid of".
    I'm thinking of ordering either a 23" or a 30" for my MacPro, but the new spec cinema displays are not yet available here.

  • Leopard, Vista and Apple Cinema Display

    I've searched the discussion forum for problem with my Apple Cinema Display, but most of the threads don't seem to fit exactly my question, which is:
    *Is there a driver for 23" Apple Cinema Display for Vista?*
    I have a brand new MBP (15", just 2 weeks old). I used Boot Camp (v.2, as part of Leopard) to install Vista.
    Threads in the discussion forum seem to be more related to 30" display and v.1.4 of Boot Camp.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you Stefan. Well, it fixed the problem, but only partly:
    I can get a picture in the 23" Apple Cinema Display, but after re-start (in Vista), it disappears. I need to go to Display Settings in Vista control panel to reset the monitor. The every time I try, it gives me different options (e.g. resolution, main/secondary monitor, refresh rate). Sometimes I can get the picture back, and sometimes I can't.
    It's unbelievable that Apple doesn't even support its own hardware in Leopard!

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and Apple Cinema Display compatibility

    I'd like to buy an Apple Cinema Display for my 5-year-old Power Mac G5 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, but I'm having trouble understanding what I can and can't hook up to my system.
    I was thinking of getting a 30" display, but the Apple Store says I need a Dual-Link DVI, which I don't think my graphics card supports, but the Store also says I need an ATI Radeon 9650 or better, which I imagine the 9800 Pro is.
    I've looked at the ATI site for data on the graphics card, but their online manual shows a completely different set of connections on the card. They show VGA and S-Video out ports that mine doesn't have.
    Does my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro have dual-link? If so, can I use the 30" display? If not, can I still use the 30" display?
    If I can't use the 30" display, are there any compatibility problems with the 23" Apple Cinema Display?

    The 9800 is faster than the 9650, but it doesn't have a dual-link DVI port.
    Make sure you were looking at the Mac section of ATI's site. PC and Mac versions of the same card may have different port configurations.
    AGP cards with dual-link DVI, starting with the fastest:
    ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB (ADC, dual-link DVI) (Some reports of problems with Leopard)
    <http://www.welovemacs.com/0831xeghr.html>
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)

    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB (Two dual-link DVI)
