What do I need to connect my apple cinema display to new macbook pro

what do I need to connect my apple cinema display to new macbook pro?

2011 macbook pro with TB ->  apple 27" Cinima Display with mini-displayport 
Does this work natively?  Is there an adapter or workaround? 
No, not until or if an adaptor becomes available.  See this thread.

  • What cable do I need to connect my ACD 21"to a new MacBook Pro?

    I have an Apple Cinema Display (21") about 5 or 6 yrs old. It has a set of FW400, USB, Power, and a video (24pin?) plug on the end. I had an adaptor for that plug to use it with my old MacBook, but that video adaptor doesn't fit the new MacBook Pro I have (Aug 2011).
    What do I need to get the MacBook Pro connected to the Cinema Display?
    Thanks!
    Alan.

  • 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..

  • What do i need to connect my 30" cinema display as a second monitor to my new 27" imac?

    I recently purchased a new iMac and want to run my 30" cinema display as a second monitor. My local mac experts told me to use a mini display to dvi adaptor, but that didn't work for any of my cinema displays - the 30" that i want to use and a 21" that I have. I called the guys back up and after a little research, he told me to get a mini display port to dual link dvi adapter. This costs $99, so I want to be sure it's going to work.
    Does anyone know if this will work, or if there is a better idea, or ****, does the new iMac even except a 2nd monitor.
    Thanks. Looking forward to your input.

    Well I may have heard wrong, but I do not believe that you can hook that 6 year old monitor to the latest 27" iMacs with ThunderBolt. I would do more research before putting out the bucks, or make sure that you can return it if it does not work.
    But do let us know if you try it and it works.

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    Thank you LowLuster,
    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro?  I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

  • How to connect 20" apple cinema dispay to 17"Mac Pro

    I got a 20"apple cinema display(2004)
    Now I wanna hook it up with my 17"Macbook Pro (2007)
    The problem is that I have 4 cables coming from the display. 2 is compatible with my notebook (USB and firewire), however, the other 2 cable (DVI and power) are not compatible.
    So does anyone know what should I do to correctly connect my notebook to the display? like which kinda of DVI cable and power cable should I buy?
    Thanks a lot~

    The Cinema Display 20 requires a special external (white brick) power supply that should have come with the display. If it didn't, you'll have to look for one on the used market or at third-party retailers. Apple no longer sells it. It's possible that the supply for a Cinema 30 would also work with a 20, but I'm not sure.
    The connector for an external display on a 2007 MacBook Pro is DVI and ought to work with a Cinema 20's DVI connector without the need for any adapter or special cable.

  • 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.
