20"cinema display revised?

I bought 4 days ago a presumably just manufactured 20 inch cinemadisplay,
The unit has already pixel and lightleakingissues..
When I called Apple about this , I was told this unit was manufactured in October 2005...
Does anybody know wether these units have been updated and inproved since then?
And also what the newer serial#s are for the newer 20" displays?
Mine is:S2A5410.....
Thank you very much in advance..

I will answer this myself: There were 2 major revisions : one in November 2005
and one this last August...with new specs..

Cinema Display not detected

I got my 20" Cinema Display back from repair today (backlight problem) and now I can't get my MacBook Pro to detect that it's attached. While it was at the repair center, I used a CRT as a second monitor. So today, I just closed the MBP (didn't shut it off, which I think is what cause the problem), disconnected the CRT, connected the ACD and opened the MPB back up. Completely black screen, with the little LED on all the time.
So, troubleshooting:
- The MBP still detects the CRT
- ACD is detected by both a G4 and G5
- A different 20" ACD is ALSO not detected by my MBP
- Reset NVRAM and SMC
- Booted MBP in safe mode
- Booted MBP from startup CD
- Tried various resolutions while the CRT was connected, thinking maybe it was stuck on one that's not compatible with the ACD
- Moved and recreated the com.apple.windowserver.* files
I'm running 10.4.9 and here's what the graphics/displays info says, WITH the Cinema Display connected:

Been messing with this for four hours, and I still have a blank display. Any other ideas? From one thread someone mentioned replacing the logic board fixed a similar problem.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

UPDATE:
I just got back from my visit to a mac genius. Of course Murphy's law was in full effect! With my MBP connected to the cinema display in the Mac store, everything worked as it is supposed to.
Well, I rush home thinking that maybe mine would now work - - no luck! He did suggest that I try connecting analog with the provided dvi-to-vga adapter. This suggestion DID work! BUT, I want my video digital! That is why even though I was happy with the iBook G4 that I bought last year, I wanted digital video + expanded desktop!
I think I will make another reservation with the Mac Genius, but this time, bring my monitor. Will keep you posted...

Macbook Pro dark screen after disconnecting from Cinema Display

Dear all,
the issue I am having:
- after disconnecting from Cinema display (having first put my Macbook Pro in "sleep" mode) I just ca't make the Macbook pro scren show anything....black display
- but is it really asleep? NO!!! It just STILL believes it's connected to the Cinema Display
That's what I though was happening, so I thought: "if I now plug in the thunderbolt-to-VGA dongle that I use for the videoprojector then the screen might come back... and.... Voilá! It comes back, BUT starts flickering until in the end it just dissappears....
I can reproduce the error all the time. Worse than that: a reboot does not help at all.
Looks like there is an internal hardware switch that must be left "engaged" and then the Mac just believes it is connected to an External screen and sends the signal though the thuderbolt port instead of through the screen!!!
WEIRD error/bug or whatever!!
I have no idea how to make this reach the Apple guys.... I tried to report a Bug but they asked me to join in as Apple developer which I just can't do (for working issues).
Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and whether Apple is taking care of it?
(this reminds me of an issue with an internal switch with the headphones in my old MacBook Pro.... after disconnecting the headphones, the internal switch was not being disengaged, so sound would NEVER come out as it was being sent to the headphones instead of to the speakers... Same problem here but with the Image??? :-((( )
Thanks a lot.

Sometimes I experience the same after disconnecting my 24" display (in seldom cases, the mouse cursor is not painted correctly, as well).
Can you check - when it happens - if in System Profiler > Hardware > Graphic > Quartz Extreme is listed as 'supported'. I found it to be 'not supported' when the scrolling and display behaves strangly. Also the Menu Bar is not transparent any more.
Next to rebooting, logout and login again fixed the issue for me. But I am also looking for a better fix/explanation.

Trouble with 30" HD Cinema Display using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

I bought a new MacBook Pro and I am having trouble getting the full resolution to work with my 30" HD Cinema Display (purchased in 2007 max resolution 2560 x 1600) using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter.
According to the specs page, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP581 , the max resolution of the HD external display is supported. Unfortunately the max that I can set it to is: 1280 x 800
Has anyone else had the same issue?
If this isn't resolved I'm likely going to exchange my MacBook Pro for one that can support this display.

So I went and bought the Mini DisplayPort To Dual-Link DVI Adapter as suggested and it seems to work great.
Now the problem that I have is when I open up Apple's DVD player, the screen is blank but I can still hear audio.
If I unplug the display, the movie will display properly. Rebooting with the display plugged in doesn't help either. I also deleted all the DVD players enc setting files so that they would re-initialize but no luck.
Any idea what this problem might be??

Mini with 22" ADC Cinema Display w/ADC-DVI

Greetings...
I've been playing with my new 1.4Ghz mini and the display I happen to have free right now is an original 22" Cinema Display. I have the ADC to DVI adapter for this display and it's rock solid on my old G4 Sawtooth. Anyway on the mini it works very nicely exept for one problem. I get a flicker that seems to tie to system activity. May be voltage variations effecting the internal video DVI drivers. OK my question it. 1) Has anyone else out there tried this combination? (Apple's monitor compatibility chart says it's supported so I know somone at Apple tried it). 2) Do you have any image stability issues like flickering. I'm asking this because I'm now wondering if maybe my little guy is a bit faulty in the video department. I'll try my new 20" display tomorrow to see if it has the same problem.
Anyway this is an amazing little box. BTW mine currently has the minimum RAM but that will change as soon as I put this video issue to bed. Hope to use it in my studio because it's so quiet... Very nice in the sound department.
Enjoy,
--Bryan

Good news...
Well I managed to locate a rev B version of the DVI-ADC adapter. First good news is the price is now down to $99 from the original $150. Second good news is that the /B version seems to work. No more flicker!!
Hey Michael L... Thanks for the suggestion it worked!!
So while this isn't the cheapest solution, it does seem to work so far and considering the cost of a new 22 or 23" monitor vs. using my excellent 22" ADC Cinema Display I'm feeling OK about it.
So John you might want to give a rev. /B version of the adapter a try. BTW the actual adapter is absolutely identical to the REV /A version on the outside the only difference it the serial number is in a different range. If you buy an open box make sure the serial number matches on the box that shows the /B revision matches the actual unit.
Happy Hunting... They are not easy to find. Yeah I know this $600 Mac is starting to rack up the bucks but hey considering it has better performance than my original G4 Sawtooth that I paid like 5X as much for I can't complain too loud...
This will hold until Apple can produce a new truly drool worthy high end machine. The bar just went up with the introduction of the mini. The new once has got to be small, it's got to be silent and it goes with out saying it's got to be so fast it will make you cry. Until then I'll use what I have right now...
Next I need to track down a good 1GB stick of ram for the Mini...
Enjoy,

3 x Cinema Displays on Mac Pro

I´m about to configure my BTO Mac Pro 3.0 Ghz. I want to run 3 x Cinema Displays off this system and I wonder if it is possible to combine one X1900 XT graphics card and one Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT (instead of 2 x 7300 GT..) ?
I´m getting 3 x 23" Displays, but I also want to keep the possibility open to run 2 x 30" displays at some point. Besides, I generally like the idea of having a X1900 XT available in my system..
Would this work ?
Any input is highly appreciated.
THANKS.

When the Mac Pro first came out there was a note in the video developer note saying not to mix NVIDIA and ATI cards, but there is no such note in the latest revision of the note.
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWTechVideo/Articles/Videoimplementation.html>
If you use a X1900 and a 7300 GT, put the X1900 in slot 1 and the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT in slot 4 and set the PCI-Express bus to x16 x1 x1 x8.
If you use two X1900s, put them in slots 1 and 2, and set the PCI-Express bus to x8 x8 x1 x8.

Power on a 23inch Cinema Display

Hi, My display was working fine this morning. When I went to turn it on later, the power light wouldn't come on when I pressed the power button. I took the monitor to apple this evening and the monitor worked fine. When I got home it went back to no power light. I made my 2nd monitor the main monitor and it still register's the cinema display as working, but I can't get the power light to turn on. Does anyone know what this is about. I don't understand how the power doesn't turn on, but the computer is still seeing the display? And any tips on getting the monitor to always power on when the computer starts up? Maybe that will fix this.

I have 2 23" HD displays - only 1 is detected, but its stranger than that!

Displays:
my problem is that the second monitor is never detected. after some fiddling around, it looks like the DVI-D is probed each time a cable is disconnected, and the funny thing is, if i disconnect my working 23" from primary and insert my new 23" display to it, it works for about 5 seconds, until the video card seems to redetect the monitor; which actually this monitor isnt detected and the display goes blank...
even wierder:
i have a PC and i can boot windows up with my working 23". after the OS is booted i can unplug the good display and plug in the "non-detected" 23" and it works, at least until the monitor is probed again...
most unusual indeed.. apple doesnt know what to do.. its not the brick. im lucky to have 2 monitors of exactly the same specification and swapped the power supplies around.
not sure even where to start.. im sure apple would scratch thier heads.. funny how this happened AFTER the warranty ran out

Mpeg-2 HD video on a 30 inch Cinema Display

Hello everyone,
I have a 1.6 ghz Power Mac G5 (first revision). I use EyeTV to record HD video in mpeg-2 format, and the playback on the G5 on just a 20 inch widescreen is not good at all, really. Would a video card upgrade help this, and would the playback still be smooth on a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display if the upgraded card supported it? Or is this G5 just not up to it? The current card is the stock GeForce FX 5200.
Thanks for your help

I have said software (ver.3) with an EyeTV Hybrid. Elgato is pretty clear that PPC macs cannot handle HD:
*+Note: 720p or 1080i HD features require an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Analog TV recorded and processed by a software encoder; quality depends on processor performance.+* http://elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/hybrid09/product3.en.html
You're lucky if you are even recording the show properly. The only playback you'll have on that machine is to export the show to SD / 480p & come back about 8 hours later to watch it.
Any upgrades bought would almost get you a new Mini.

Will a 30" cinema display work on a powermac 1.6GHZ

Does anyone know if a 30" cinema display will work on a powermac 1.6 GHZ (roughly two years old), its says it needs PCI Express?? however looking on the apple support site for info the support is not too clear, neither when i phone them.
Here is the basic spec of the machine
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac7,2
CPU Type: PowerPC 970 (2.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.6 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 64 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0321
Revision ID: 0x00a2
ROM Revision: 2060
i guess i need to upgrade the graphics card but is this possible, and if so will the Nvidia Geforce 6600 Graphics Upgrade Kit work ok or some other alternative. Just use the Mac for web design so not gaming so the cheaper the better.
thanks for the advice
dean

Yea, but you might want some performance with all those pixels as software tends to grow on you later on.
take a look at the ATI X800
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx800/radeonX800xtme/index.html
Supports one Dual Link DVI (also can use regular DVI) and one ADC port (also can support a DVI with adapter) so it's got a lot of versatility
http://shop.ati.com/searchresults.asp?dept_id=31
Remember you have a Mac with a AGP port for a video card to plug into, not a PCI port like newer PowerMac's.
If you plan to spend the big bucks for a 30", you may want to get a decent card as AGP is going bye-bye. I doubt we will see any more improved AGP cards after this. While supplies last.
Your CPU is pretty weak, so it could use some help from a GPU if software takes advantage of it.

1.67 GHz PowerBook and 30" Cinema Display

I have a 1.67 GHz PowerBook with the ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 and am trying to run the optimal resolution on a 30" Cinema Display. However, I am unable to chose a resolution higher than 1280. It looks like my VRAM is only 64MB. I do have the dual-link DVI port. Do I need 128MB of VRAM to run the higher resolution?

It looks exactly like the Dual-link DVI diagram found here: http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html#Page06
My Graphics/Displays in System Profiler read:
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700:
Chipset Model: ATY,RV360M11
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
VRAM (Total): 64 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4e50
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-145
Am I missing something? Could the 64MB version come with Dual-link DVI, but not be enough to power the resolution? Thanks in advance for any help.

Disconnecting MacBookPro from Cinema Display

Here's a stupid question that appears to be too elementary to address in the documentation: When I want to disconnect my MacBookPro from the Cinema Display, do I simply remove the connections or do I have to shut the laptop down first?
Related stupid question: when I return with my laptop, can I simply plug in the Cinema connections, or does the laptop have to be powered down?
Thanks.

You don't have to shut it down.

How to connect a 2009 Cinema Display with mini DisplayPort to modern card

Hello:
I am ready to install a new NVidia Quadro K5000 for Mac in my not so old Mac Pro 4,1 (2009). I already installed Mountain Lion (10.8.3) as required. The problem is that the Mac Pro came with a Led Cinema Display which apparently only can be connected with a mini DisplayPort plug and the graphics card only have DVi and DP 1.2. I tried to find an adapter but the ones I have find are minidp male to DVI female and obviously I need a minidp female to DVI or DP female.
I will appreciate any help.

How to connect my 20" Cinema Display with my new 27" TB-Display...

... running the latest OSX 10.9.1 on my MB Air 2013 8GB RAM/1.7 Intel Core i7?
I have the Apple DVI to MiniDisplayport adapter too for the Cinema Display.
Before I bought the display an apple technician at Hamburg Apple store told me I could plug the MiniDisplayport adapter into the thunderbolt port of the 27 TB-Display to run both displays, which does not work, which I could read just now in a support article here. But it is not mentioned how to make it work. Please let me know.
Many thanks in advance

You need a drive with two Thunderbolt ports. Plug the Thunderbolt display's Thunderbolt cable into the computer. Connect one Thunderbolt port of the disk drive to the Thunderbolt port on the back of the Thunderbolt display. Plug the Mini DisplayPort adapter into the other Thunderbolt port on the disk drive.

How to connect my Cinema Display as a second monitor

I just purchased a new 27-inch iMac, and I explained to the Apple folks that I had a 17-inch cinema display (silver clad model) that I wanted to connect, for a dual monitor set up. They told me just to get the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, but I was surprised to realize that's not going to work.
Can anyone tell me how to do this, and what connector is actually needed? I have the big old white power brick that I bought to daisy chain my old 17 and 23 inch displays with my old configuration (Mac Pro).
Or can you not have a second monitor with an iMac?
Thanks in advance.

Where and how can I buy a new AC adaptor for a 30" HD cinema display?

I bought large numbers of Apple products in Hong Kong but have since moved to a remote area of the Philippines where internation telephone calls are extremely difficult.
The AC adaptor of my 30" HD cinema display with aluminum case has been lost so I need to find out the price and order a new one. However the Apple shop (Hong Kong) on-line has no way to ask the price or place an order for this item. There is no on-line form no email addrees, nothing except Hong Kong phone numbers.
Can anyone please advise what I can do? Please don't suggest going to the local service center. I will never go back to our local service center after what they did last time.
Thank you.
Frank

Thank You.
I have emailed them to ask if they will deliver to Hong Kong via USPS.
I may need a video card for a MacPro so I will order that from them also.
Thanks again
Frank
