Using a cinema display and a DV to and HDMI TV

I have been watching tutorials but haven't been having much luck. I have a 50 inch 1080 HD TV and a late 2009 8 core Mac Pro. I bought a DV to HDMI adapter but can only see the the back ground when I have every thing hooked up. When I try to mirror the displays, I lose my 2560x1008 display on my 30 inch cinema display.
Is there something I am missing to add a second monitor to my 8 core for more real estate, or am I going to have to use the mirror function only and have two displays with the same content?
I was hoping to have more real estate when editing with FCP and Pro Tools.
Cheers.

Also, look for image size settings in the TV, such as pixel-to-pixel, 100%, etc.

How to use the cinema display while your Macbook is closed

How do I use the cinema display while my Macbook is closed? Whenever I close the laptop the display shuts off as well. I really don't need them both to be on. That defeats the purpose of the external display. when I am home I want to use the laptop like it is the desktop computer.

I am using a MB Pro and a 23" cinema display. Have a wired USB keyboard and a USB wireless mouse connected through the keyboard. When the MBP is closed and when I restart it, the wireless mouse is frozen and the keyboard does not respond. I have to reopen the MBP, use the trackpad mouse, restart again and hope it will work closed. There doesn't seem to be a consistent way to make it work.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Your 2014 MacBook Pro should have 2 Thunderbolt ports and 1 HDMI port. We need to find out what plug your Cinema Display has.
Does the Plug look like this:

If so, then its a DVI connector. And you would need a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port to DVI adapter.

If not, look on the underside of the Display's frame or base/stand, there should be a model number there.

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side. E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

No. You need a converter box like this to go with your MDP-VGA adapter:

Can i use an cinema display as a second monitor with 27 inch 2011

I am interested in purchasing a 2010 Apple 27 inch Cinema Display monitor. I have a mid 2011 imac 27 inch computer, and am wondering what I will need to connect the Cinema Display to the iMac.
Thanks

If it's a 27", that would the LED Cinema Display and it uses the same Mini-DisplayPort your iMac has, so all you need to do is plug the monitor into the appropriate ports.
Regards.

Can I use my cinema display as the primary monitor???

I've just cracked the screen on my macbook pro and want to know if it's possible that i could use my 23" apple cinema display as the primary screen, so that when I load up my dock etc will appear on the external monitor rather than the laptop monitor.
Is this possible, and how do i achieve this?
Cheers,
Jonny

I think so.
Click on system preferences, and choose displays.
From here, click on arrangement, and you can choose to have the dock on your external display.
If you don't see the "arrangement" option, be sure you have an external keyboard or mouse attached to the computer, and close its display lid. The computer should go to sleep. After it's asleep, wake it, using the attached mouse or keyboard, but keep the lid closed. The external display should illuminate with your desktop.

MSN Messenger uses wrong inbuilt webcam for video chat on triple screen set up. It uses a cinema display webcam not the iMac webcam.

For some strange reason if i attach my 2 apple cinema displays to my iMac to make a triple screen set up msn messenger video chat does work but it uses the apple cinema display inbuilt webcam and not the iMac webcam. Its annoying as i have to turn sideways to get into the video call view.
So i have a set up like this: an apple cinema display thunderbolt, then in the middle an iMac new then to the right of the iMac another apple thunderbolt cinema display. WWhen i use MSN messenger to make a video call it uses the inbuilt webcam on the far right apple thunderbolt cinema display and not the inbuilt webcam in the iMac in front of me, its annoying any ideas please.
If i unplug both side cinema displays MSN messenger uses the inbuilt camera on the iMac like normal but when i use extra screens it uses the webcam built into those and not the iMacs webcam.

I would try with another client like skype or something
and if it's only msn messanger which have the problem it may
be more of a question for ms's forum?

Sustained use of Cinema display audio results in noise, choppy audio, then cutting out

When I play a sustained audio stream through my 27" LED Cinema display – for example, listening to my music collection on iTunes – for a couple hours (since I powered on my computer), the audio suddenly gets very noisy and after a few seconds really choppy (+ noisy), and waiting another few seconds it's barely audible (just repeated hints of noise). After this happens, I can press Pause in iTunes, wait a few seconds, then press Play, and the audio is perfectly fine again.
Then, after only a half hour or less, the same thing happens, and I have to do the same thing to fix it. I am always able to fix the audio perfectly fine, but it inevitably craps out again after 5-30 minutes.
If I power off my computer or let it sleep overnight, then come back and play iTunes again, the audio will be fine for a few hours before this inevitably happens again.
I've followed the advice of an Apple support technician of resetting both my NVRAM and SMC, and that had no effect. The Cinema display audio continues to behave the same.
I have the USB for the Cinema display plugged directly into my MBP's USB port (no other USB hub in the way).
I have the latest version of OS X and thus the 27" Cinema Firmware 1.0 update has already been applied (I tried applying it by downloading the firmware update manually, but it refused, saying I do not need this update).
This should go without saying, but this never happens when I play music through my MBP's built-in speakers, or when I play music through external speakers plugged into the line-out port. It's behaviour that happens exclusively through the 27" Cinema display's audio interface.
Thoughts, anyone?
I'm especially curious whether anyone else has had precisely this kind of audio problem with their 27" Cinema display. I've seen many people post audio issues relating to their 27" Cinema display, but most of those problems were remedied by the 1.0 firmware update, and besides none of the problems were described quite like mine (specifically, audio that becomes noisy, then mostly cuts out - it never completely cuts out - and that can be reliably [temporarily] fixed by pausing and playing the audio again).

Can an MBP Sound preferences output to the display as opposed to through usb? I use a mac pro and have those two choices for my mini-displayport 27" apple display.
I am not suggesting this as a fix but only testing various other paths to try to diagnose the problem.
What first came to mind in your description was that you are having some kind of temperature problem. And I think the temp problem lies with the MBP and not the display. To that end you might consider adding one of the temp monitor utilities like iStat Pro, iStat Menus, Temperature Monitor, Temperature Monitor widget, Hardware Monitor, etc. See if there some correlation with the temps shown in some of the readings and your sound problem.

Apple cinema display, IP address, Computer Name and Apache

I have been working on getting Apache, php, mySql setup to do a bit of web design and playing with wview (weather station), drupal, wordPress, etc. Right off the bat, let me make clear that I am not attempting to host sites to the big bad WAN. LAN only!
The changes to OS X over the last several versions were a definite speed bump but with the help of Neil Gee's youTube video and this forum pointing me to a permissions problem, Apache, mySql, and php are installed. Browsing localhost, localhost/~myname and a couple of sites I set up using vhosts in ~myname/Sites from the laptop works. Joy! Browsing from other computers on the network nothing worked. Half a day googling the problem before I noticed something odd about the IPv4 Address for my Mac.... when I tried switching it to a static IP I got the message that the IP was already in use.
At this point I need to describe my setup... a MBP with Thunderbolt connection to an Apple Cinema display. The ACD is connected via ethernet and the laptop was connected to the LAN via the Thunderbolt. The network router is (unfortunately) an HGV-3800 whose radio is turned off. Wireless in the household is accomplished by a Time Capsule in bridge mode. Not my preferred setup but after killing off several good days, I capitulated to the recommended AT&T configuration.
A quick browse of devices on the router revealed that the IP being used by my MBP/ACD had an unknown device name while all the other devices in the house had their names... odd. So I fired up the wireless on the MBP and took another look at the device list... the router listed this new connection with my correct device name. Even better, when I browsed to http://myComputerName and http://myComputerName/~myname from another computer on the LAN the It Works! and My Site Works! came up perfectly. However, the sites that i set up in vhosts stubbornly refuse to come up on the other devices.
My interpretation of what is happening with the ethernet connection to the ACD is that this connection is not identified as being to my laptop... it is to the ACD and somehow the laptop is borrowing it... surfing works and I can connect for file sharing to other computers on the LAN (though it is a bit clunky)... the borrowed connection is not up to the task of hosting on the LAN. My question about this is whether there is a setting I can make which will correct this behaviour and allow the Thunderbolt connection to function as if the ethernet was directly connected to the laptop?
The other more important question is what is needed to make the sites I have in myComputer/~myName/Sites browseable from other devices on the LAN... these same sites that are coming up perfectly when I browse to mySite1.com from the laptop?
I am not really looking for advice to go get Mavericks Server... many different issues with that scenario.

Your router only has a limited about of features to make it "stealthy."
Here are a few things you can try...
- Access the router's web-based administration @ http://192.168.0.1.
- Advanced > Virtual Server
-- Virtual Server: Disabled (pg. 25)
- Advanced > Applications
-- Applications: Disabled (pg. 26)
- Advanced > Firewall
-- Enabled (pg. 31)
- Advanced > DMZ
-- Disabled (pg. 33)
- Tools > Admin
-- Change the default passwords for both the admin & user accounts.
-- Remote Management: Disabled (pg. 36)
- Tools > Misc
-- Discard PING from WAN side: Enabled
-- UPNP Settings: Disabled
-- Gaming Mode: Disabled
-- VPN Pass-Through
--- PPTP: Disabled
--- IPSec: Disabled (pg. 41)

Can't use 20" Cinema display on Windows

I posted this question on the Mac/Windows compatability forum, but perhaps this forum might be more relevant.
I just purchased a 20" Cinema display to use with my Windows VIsta machine. I notice there a number of people using this forum that also use Apple monitors on Windows machines.
I have not been able to use this monitor yet, as when I hook it up and turn on my computer my system will not boot. It freezes up at the third screen dealing with BIOS. The final line of a DOS screen reads: AHCI Bios not installed.
My system will not respond at this point, I have to turn off the computer and replace the Apple monitor with my old CRT model. Then my system immediately runs normally.
Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?
Thanks for any help that might be offered.

I've now seen there are postings on the topic so please ignore my query. I've looked to delete this but so far can't see how....Thanks
