Want to connect a 20" apple display to a new 24" iMac

What adaptor do I need for this?
Thank you for any help...

Thanks for the response - I found my monitor there (http://www.everymac.com/monitors/apple/studiocinema/specs/apple_cinema_display_202.html) but am no closer to understanding which adapter I need. Maybe I need two adapters as the firewire plug is wrong as well. Is there one adapter that will fix both connections? Or is it even possible for these to work together? I have been studying on this for an hour and am getting nowhere.

  • How do I connect my 17" Apple display to my new iMAC?

    I just got a new iMAC and want to hook my existing Apple 17" Display from my PowerMac G4 for dual monitors, but I am lost on what connectors I need and will the iMAC be able to power it?

    You should have a Firewire 800 port and a Thunderbolt port.
    The easiest way would be to use the Firewire 800 port.
    You will need a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable. These are available here.

  • I'm trying to connect my 30" Cinema Display to my new Mac Pro along with a new Apple 23'" monitor.  The new Apple monitor is fine.  On the cinema monitor everything is blown up pretty large.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

    The 30" display needs a DUAL-LINK adapter.

  • Can Iuse non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?

    Can I use a non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?
    Special connections?

    Only thing you need is a minidisplayport-to-? adapter ... plugs into Thunderbolt port.  ? is replaced by VGA or HDMI or DVI.
    I have used high-quality brand names (LG, Samsung) that were picked because I liked the display and have had no issues.
    I will add that some threads speak of issues with some Dell monitors that work spottily if at all.  But only from reading other threads.

  • Connect the powerbook 15"-Display with a new G5 dual and a ACD?

    hi
    i wonder if i could connect the pb 15" display with a new G5 dual and turn the pb off, only the display on?
    that would be fun.
    i am working with a pb 15" and a ACD 20" with Photoshop mainly.
    the 15" is the palettes‘ server and the ACD is the main working screen where i retouch my pics.
    so if i buy a G5 dual now, i would have to buy a ACD30" for example to use one display for all the Photoshop Palettes and couldn use the pb 15" anymore?
    any other less awkward solutions i am not aware of maybe?
    thanks"

    I'm pretty sure that you can't use a PowerBook for it's display only. You already know, of course, that you can use the PowerBook, as a computer, with an external monitor, with or without the PB's own display running, but so far as I know you cannot use a PB solely for its display.
    So, if you bought a G5 dual now, and bought an ACD 30", you could use both your ACD's with your new G5 dual, the 20" and the 30" , but your PowerBook would have to watch the proceedings from the sidelines.

  • How to drive a 30" Cinema Display from a new 27" iMac?

    How do I drive a 30" Cinema Display from a new 27" iMac that has no obvious video out port? There are lots of ports, but nothing resembling or identified as a video out port. Is the very small hole in the cabinet by the power in port the thing I'm looking for? If so, the power/video adapter for the Cinema will not work as is. Do I need a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter? I am completely uncertain about this, and could use solid advice. The AppleCare tech I spoke with today seemed not to have a clue. He said he would get back with me on this. He didn't.

    Overview
    Every Mac with a Mini DisplayPort allows you to connect an external display or projector using an adapter. You can use an external display as your main workspace or to extend your desktop, or you can work in mirrored mode with a projector so you can view what your audience sees.
    Use the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to connect your Mac to a 30-inch display that includes a DVI connector, such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display HD, and enjoy the ultimate widescreen canvas with a resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels.
    Compatible only with Mac computers with Mini DisplayPort and Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later.

  • Imac connecting to 30" apple display

    My question is if an early 2007 imac model, <Edited by Host> can be connected to either the new 24" apple display or the 30"one and if so what do i need to connect it? Also are there any performance issues with doing any of this?

    Your iMac's mini-DVI connector is limited to single link DVI (1920x1200) such as found in the 24" monitor; the 30" monitor requires dual link DVI (2560x1500). As answered previously, you need a mini-DVI to DVI connector to connect to Apple's 24" monitor.

  • Can I use a 30" Apple Cinema display with a new 27" iMac?

    I have a brand new iMac(27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), i7 3.5 GHz, 32MB RAM, 4GB NVIDIA.  I will soon be upgrading it to Mavericks, if that makes a difference.  My understanding is that the resolution on it is 2560 x 1440.
    I'm looking at buying a used 30" Apple Cinema display.  I'd like to use it with my new iMac.  The only advantage for me would be that the 30" screen is larger and things on it easier to see (or so I'm guessing).
    I need to know if the 30" Cinema display would work with my new iMac, and if it would, as I'm guessing, give me a larger, easier-to-see screen.
    I currently have my new iMac connected to my old mid-2010 iMac as a target display (that old iMac has a minidisplay port--no Thunderbolt), and that works great.  I just want a larger screen.
    I called Apple support, and the tech rep wasn't sure it would work.  He seemed to think that the 30" Cinema displays were made with different connections.  Some had minidisplay ports (which he thought would work), and some a cord built into them that provided some other type of connection (that I guess would not work as far as he knew).
    Can anyone tell me if this would work?  Would my new iMac and its video card support the 30" Cinema display?  Would the result be as sharp and good-looking as my iMac's built-in 27" display, but only bigger (which is what I'm hoping for)?  Any advice is appreciated.
    I don't yet know many of the specifics of the 30" Cinema display I'm considering.  I know it is about 3 years old.  And here is a picture of the back of it:

    Yes, you should be able use the 30" Cinema Display with your new iMac without problems. You'll need a mini-DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter:

    I haven't had the 30" myself to test so I don't know if there any caveats. Perhaps someone else here will have personal experience.

  • Using FCP 7 - Can I connect two more displays to the new 27" iMac and have one as a display monitor?

    I use Final Cut Pro 7 right now and am thinking about buying the new 27" iMac with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 card. I have a 24" Apple Cinema Display with mini Display port cable. I also have one more Samsung display with DVI & HDMI. Can I connect both monitors to the iMac and be able to use one in FCP as a display monitor?

    Hello,
    Maybe a device like the Targus USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Adapter or StarTech USB 3.0 to HDMI an DVI Dual Monitor External Video Card Adapter would work?

  • Display anomalies with new 20" iMac

    I've had my new 20" iMac for little over a week now (2.4GHz) and in the last two days the display has started to exhibit some strange behaviour. The best way of describing it would be to compare it to a mobile phone screen that adjusts the display brightness based on ambient lighting. This does not appear to be connected with the Energy Saver setting "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before sleep". It occurs when the system has been on and in use for a little while and seems to settle down after a few minutes. Any ideas?

    Having spoken with an apple customer service rep this evening, I was given the choice of repair or replacement of the new system, to which I chose a replacement (the system is two weeks old). However, they were unable to arrange this since there was a "technical fault" on the phone line trying to reach the sales support team while I was on hold (I assume they are outsourcing some call centre work to other countries, at least based on the accents). So I have to call back tomorrow to arrange my replacement. =)

    Thank you for your inputs.

    If you choose instead to adapt the DVI to your new display, this adapter, US$129, is suggested by the Mac [display] Cable Chooser:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H5236ZM/A/kanex-c247d-single-link-dvi-to-mini- displayport-converter?fnode=78
    The Mac [display] Cable Chooser:
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables/cable-chooser
    Mac or PC 5770 uses only one of the two aux power cables, so it can be doubled up -- but it is two slots tall, so it will block the slot above, and may not run at full speed when not in slot 1.
