(2) 27" LED Apple Cinema displays + Sapphire 6950?

(2) 27" LED Apple Cinema displays + Sapphire 6950 on a Win7 Box...
Would this work?
The Sapphire 6950 has dual mini displayports...

I got this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102914
I'm still using the Sceptre Naga's for now, though. I still don't know if it will work exactly as I expect, but the new machine is nice anyway.

Second Monitor with 2008 LED Apple Cinema Display?

Hi there I have an Eary 2011 15" MacBook Pro, with Thunderbolt.
Last night I purchased an immaculate 2008 LED Apple Cinema Display. It was just far too good a deal to turn down. The resolution is 1920 x 1200.
Prior to this I had (and still do have) a Dell Ultrasharp U2410 PremierColor, with attached sounbar.
I now have the Apple display set up and running and it is awesome looking (same resolution as my Dell, but with the backlit LED, it just looks pristine).
Is there a way I can set up the Mac so that both monitors are running, I know I can't daisy chain, and this Apple monitor is Mini Display port as opposed to Thunderbolt.
The Dell has two DVI ports, a VGA, a HDMI, a DisplayPort, and a set of Component and Composite connectors.
Which of these would be best to use and is it even possible?
Thanks in advance.
Tommy

Connect the Apple display to the Thunderbolt port and the Dell with a USB-to-DVI adapter like this:

Note that because USB is slow, the Dell monitor will be less responsive than the ACD.

Using the Macbook with new LED Apple Cinema Display? Not a beginner's Q...

Hi - I'm sort of cross-posting this because I'm not getting any answers in the Apple Cinema Display Forum, so here goes. So far, no one - not even a tech guy at a local Apple Reseller - has been able to help, so I've got my fingers crossed.
I just got a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display and am using it with my 13" Aluminum Unibody Macbook. What I do is dock the Macbook (with closed screen) when at home with the big display and just use that. I enlarge program windows and arrange the layout (in different spaces) to take advantage of the large screen and resolution. So far so good.
But I'm a student and take my macbook with me to class. When I open it up, all the program windows are set as they were on the larger screen, which means some are out of view or simply not well-adjusted for the smaller and lower resolution of the Macbook. I manually adjust these and work on the Macbook that way.
But when I return home in the evening, I have to adjust them again once I 'dock' the Macbook. Kind of a pain if I'm doing this twice a day.
What I'd like to know is: is there a setting or group of settings that would do this automatically for me? A program? An AppleScript? Surely someone out there has had the same issues and has found a fix, if such a thing exists. Or is it just a fact of nature one deals with when working on two screens?
To preclude one response: yes, I know I can mirror the displays when I open the Macbook along with the LED Cinema Display. But this simply mirrors them using the lower resolution and dimensions of the Macbook screen. And that kind of negates having the larger, Cinema Display.
So - any thoughts? Solutions? How do you guys manage with this?
Thanks,
Jeff

I don't really have a solution for you but wanted to link you to a discussion on this very topic that took place last month on MacInTouch.
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/helpplease/topic3939.html#d24sep2009
The conclusion seemed to be that it is not an OS issue, it's an application issue. There really was no good answer but some good insight into why the problem exists and why it may not be something Apple can fix.

Mac Pro and dual 24" LED Apple Cinema Displays

I really want to upgrade my current 22" cinema display to the 24" LED, but as far as know there is no way currently to do so.
Does anyone know how to make it happen? Is there an adapter or do I need a new video card? It has to be possible right?

Hi,
the Mini-DisplayPort Apple uses on the MacBook, MacBook Pros and the 24" ACD is a minituarized version of the 'full' DisplayPort and is also a proprietary version currently not used by other manufacturers.
See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleCinemaDisplay
Might be only a matter of time for such an adapter to come out.
(At least I hope so myself, since the ACD looks really good )

Apple LED 24" Cinema Display audio problem under 10.6.8 (with post fix)

Hi all,
I'm using an Apple LED 24" Cinema Display with a 2010 MBP 15" and had been using 10.6.8 without problem. After installing the post-fix I now get static noice on (clipping?) when music contains lots of base. If I switch the output to my MBP's built-in speakers then the audio is fine.
Is there any way to un-install the 10.6.8 post-fix?
Thanks,
Yanik

Solved the issue. This issue coming up after installing the 10.6.8 supplemental update was just a considence. I ended up tracing the issue back to my Atlona AT-MDP21 Mini-DisplayPort KVM switch and after fiddling with cables the issue went away.

Apple Cinema Display LED A1267 with macbook air 2011

Hi
i have a macbook air 11" 2011 Model A1370, with thundebolt port
they are offering me a
Apple Cinema Display LED (24-Inch)
Identifiers: LED Cinema Display - MB382LL/A - A1267
it comes with the triple cable, magsafe, minidisplay y usb
the question is, minidisplay is the same port as thunderbolt?
i will be able to use it, with the macbook air opened and closed?
it will transmit video and audio or only video?
thank you

If the USB cable is connected to the computer, you can use the display as an USB hub; FireWire works the same way, but you need a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter or a FireWire ExpressCard to use it.

Can I Use Dual Apple LED 24 Cinema Displays?

I have a macpro(2008) and want to use two Apple LED 24 Cinema Displays.
How can I connect my macpro and two cinema displays.
GT120has one miniport. It's it better to buy two GT120?
or Should I buy DVI to miniport converter?

Hi-
Can I Use Dual Apple LED 24 Cinema Displays?
Yes.
Either another graphics card or an Atlona box;

Either way will get your 24" LED displays connected.
If you use FCP, the box would be better......

Apple Cinema Display speakers no longer work after Mavericks update

I have a MacBook Pro 15", purchased in late-2010 connected to a 27" Apple Cinema Display also purchased at the same time. The display connects to the MacBook Pro via USB and mini displayport. The built-in 2.1 speakers on the display were working fine until the upgrade to Mavericks. When I go into the speakers settings, I can change it to internal speakers and the sound comes from the MacBook Pro, but when I choose the cinema display, nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi lelandgray,
If you are having audio issues with your Cinema Display after upgrading your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, you may want to make sure that the most recent Cinema Display Firmware Update has been installed. You may find the following article helpful:

23" Apple Cinema Display won't wake

I have learned alot on these forums but seldom post. Thanks in advance!
I have a G5 dual 2.0 Powermac, not sure what OS- I should know but honestly haven't updated it in a couple years. It's hooked up to a 23" Apple Cinema Display. I went to turn it on yesterday and the monitor did not come on. The comp appeared to be on, the normal sounds were coming from the machine- the eject button worked, the volume buttons were working, hard drive spinning etc. tried moving the mouse, hit space bar, etc.
The LED light on the front of the monitor is on but no picture. I checked the monitor's manual and tried resetting PRAM, checked connections, made sure there was power to the monitor.
Tried restarting the computer a few times, every time it was the same thing- starts up, normal operating sounds, Mac won't wake up.
Called Applecare, they said the steady "on" light on the monitor indicates that it is not getting a signal. Probably a problem with the Powermac (which is not covered by Applecare). They told me to connect it to a different monitor and see what happens.
I brought in my Dell 22" monitor and same thing happened except for a brief moment "Auto Detect Sleep Mode" flashes on the screen then it goes to sleep.
So it seems that the Powermac is putting the monitor(s) to sleep right away at startup. Anyone know anything I can try?

Hi-
When the LED is "On", the display is "Off".
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301944
You are sure that no flashing is occurring?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88366
Does touching the Power button on the side have any effect?
How did you reset PRAM? Keyboard command?

Try resetting the PMU/SMU:

Can you boot in Safe Mode? To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
-Be sure the computer is shut down.
-Press the power button.
-Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
-Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
-Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator
Can you do a single user boot?

Apple Cinema Displays & 2007 MacBooks

hello. which apple cinema displays are compatible with older (2007) white macbooks, in terms of connectivity, adapters, etc...?

Any Apple LCD will work except for the 24" LED or 30". You will need a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg3Nw>
The 20" is the only one currently sold at the Apple online store, but some stores may still have some 23" models in stock. 15", 17", and 22" models may be available used. If they use ADC, you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter

21" Apple Cinema Display

I've got an 21" Apple Cinema Display (16x10), that I bought sometime at the beginning of 2000.
I am looking to a fast answer about its weight.
Where can I get any document with its specifications?
Any help?

thank you very much for the fast response. It was once more a great surprise to me!
Now,
the Apple Cinema Display, that I mentioned is not a CRT one. It is a flat LCD display! I don't remember the exact size of it! (sorry, but right now I am in vacations, so I use my laptop, instead my mac pro that I use in my base)
Anyway,
if I remember well, my Apple Cinema Display is the model that Apple had before the arrival of the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display. Among the 30" flat panel display it has no glossy panel. Instead it has matte panel and it is around 20" to 21". Sorry for not being more specific.
Any further help?

Never had a problem (Computer purchased in mid-2007). However, a couple of weeks ago, it started: the OS wouldn't start. After a few trials and tests and wonderments, we realised that what prevented it from starting (you know, whirly thing then sometimes apple logo then just light blue: frozen) was the way the screens were plugged into the computer.
At the back of the computer there are four connections for the displays, two at the top and two at the bottom. They used to be connected to the two bottom ones. Then we realised that only attaching one single display to the top right connection would allow the computer to start.
Further tests led us to attach the second display AFTER the whole OS was up and operating, again at the top (next to the only functioning one for startup), and the displays work perfectly. However, if I leave them in this arrangement and turn off the computer, when I start it again the system crashes, like before.
I am pretty sure at this point that a hardware problem is causing a software crash, but what do you think it consists of? We performed all the tests, including the extended hardware test with the installation disk. No problems were found at all.
Would it be helpful (or harmful!) to take out the graphics cards and place them in different slots?
Thanks so much in advance,
Valentina

Hi, I have tried shifting them around, and the problem does seem to follow the graphics card, despite all tests indicating they are both working properly. Any other arrangements will cause a grey screen to come down while starting up and say I need to restart the computer.
Changing the slots for the graphic cards, but keeping the display attached in the right place, would allow the computer to turn on but a window would come up saying that they weren't optimally configured (16x or 8x or 4x speeds). The best configuration remains the one I begun with (slots 1 and 4). The computer will only start properly with the display in slot 4, right hand side looking at the back of the display, and only when it's turned on will it allow me to attach the second monitor, again, only in slot 4, to the left side.
The same would work if the card was in slot 1, but it would tell me they weren't configured ideally so I put the card back in slot 4.
At this point, then (I have also just tried resetting the PRAM by pressing cmdoption+PR when restarting, but no changes) should I reconfigure the graphics card? (If yes, how do I do it?)
Thanks again, Valentina

Apple Cinema Display on PC w/Radeon 5850

I have an Apple 24" LED Cinema Display and thought it would work with the new Radeon 5850 since it has DisplayPort. I'm using a female Mini DisplayPort to male DisplayPort cable.
http://estore.circuitassembly.com/pr...ter-Cable.html
When hooked to the PC, the Apple display doesn't have a picture. If I hook up a DVI display I get the following error in Windows.
"The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate on your DisplayPort display. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue with the cable connecting the display to your computer."
The Apple display shows up in the Catalyst Control Center, I am just unable to use it without getting that error. The display itself works fine on my MBP, and I have tested the cable using the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to hook up a DVI display to the PC's DisplayPort, and that works, so I know the cable is good and the DisplayPort connector on the card works too. XFX technical support doesn't have the Apple display to be able to test it in their lab, and ATI is on holiday break until next Tuesday. So, in the meantime I thought I'd check here and see if anyone else has tried this same setup or one similar.
I've heard from others who have connected the Apple Cinema Display using the same cable to other PC video cards with DisplayPort, and it works, so it seems like a compatibility issue with either the 5850 series or the XFX card in particular. It is a very strange issue because technically there is no reason the Apple Cinema Display shouldn't work on a DisplayPort equipped PC.

I just drove down to CA and bought one of those cables. It worked with my XFX 5870 to connect an Apple MDP to Dual-Link adapter....to get the "DP" part of Eyefinity covered. Oddly, I also found the same Femal MDP to Male DP adapter from another company called CPUSTuff. They happened to be in THE SAME BUILDING. 2 different guys came out with each of the cables. The white one from CA works...the black one from CPUStuff...DOESN'T.
The Eyefinity connection is touch and go, at best. I am able to make it work....but it drops out everytime I end a game or let monitors go to sleep.
Hope better compatability is coming...feels very "buggy"

How do I attach my iSight camera to my Apple Cinema Display?

I've just bought two iSight cameras, and found nothing in the accessory kit with them that would allow me to attach the camera to my Apple Cinema Display. This is because the back of the Cinema Display is beveled rather than flat, so the flat base of the accessories won't set firmly.
Does anybody have a solution for this?

Can I use an Apple Cinema Display as a second monitor for my iMac?

I have a new 24" intel iMac and was wondering if I could use my old 20" Apple Cinema Display (aluminum) as a dual display. What cables do I need?

Just had a good look inside my box and nothing. Maybe it's a Apple UK thing
The back of my iMac does have a Mini DVI port so I'm gonna pop down the Apple store tomorrow morning to pick one up.
Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know if I'm successful.
