23" HD Cinema Display ADC - New Power Mac DVI

Is it necessary to get an adaptor that supplies power, like the DVator, or will a simple cable adaptor do the same job? Thanks.

You need a DVI to ADC adapter to provide power to the display

  • Apple Cinema Display 23" For Power Mac G4 733 Quick Silver

    Hi,
    I would like to ask if possible to use the 23" Apple Cinema Display to a PowerMac G4 733 (Quick Silver)? If not, any suggestion or what kind of Video card do you suggest that makes Apple Cinema display works on a Legacy Macs.
    Thanks,
    Val

    It will work if you apply the firmware update to the video card.

  • How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port

    A question Im sure many have asked but I cant find a straight forward answer.
    I simply will be buying a new thunderbolt MBP 15 and NEED to connect it an old 23" Apple Cinema Display that uses the old ADC connector.
    Can I do it and if so how? I realise theres a potential under powering issue?
    Thanks

    Hello Sigh
    I am sure there is no way to get your ADC connector display to function with your new Mac Book Pro.
    I tried everying I could and gave up and purchased a 24" Apple refurbbished Cinema Display for $599 + tax on 4/27/2011. The Apple part number is FBXXXXL/A, Model A1287.
    Gave my  year 2002 ADC 22" display to a friend.

    Got my new MBP 2011 today. Hooked it up to my 23" Apple Cinema Display fine, using the Apple DVI to ADC converter > Mini Display port adaptors. I could then mirror display, but only at 1440 x 900 resolution.
    My dream is to have it like my old laptop--I mostly leave it shut, and main display is on the Cinema Display. So far, if I close the laptop lid on my new MBP, display shuts off. Also, can't get it to bump up the resolution to 1920.
    Sigh.

  • Can I use a MacBook pro as an external display for a Power Mac G5

    My problem is that the Studio display from 2004 is beginning to fail.  What can I use as a replacement display?  It seems that the Thunderbolt displays are out of the question, and some of the other new displays may require an Intel-based OSX.
    So, assuming I buy a MacBook Pro in the future, I'd like to continue to keep the Power Mac G5 as a back-up.  Can I use the screen on the MacBook Pro as a display for the Power Mac, and if so, how?

    Depending on what you use your computers for, the concept of using the screen of a MacBook as a display for a desktop Power Mac is about as poor an idea as I've heard in a long, long time. 
    Thanks for the chuckle.  
    PS.— There are plenty of inexpensive screens you can use instead. 

  • 24" Cinema Display (LED) with 2008 Mac Pro

    My 23" Cinema Display monitor is beginning to show signs of aging, having been used with two Mac Pros and a G5. I'd like to upgrade the monitor to a 24" LED Cinema Display, but the 2008 Mac Pro doesn't have the mini-DVI port. Is there any upgrade path here? The new (unavailable) ATI Radeon card?, mini-DVI to DVI adapter (monitor to computer)? I can't believe Apple would leave recent Mac Pro owners with no path to upgrade the monitor (save for the overpriced 30" non-LED monitor).

    The nVidia card says it is specifically for the 2009 Mac Pro, while the ATI says it is for the early 2008 or the early 2009. The hard to get ATI appears to be the only card available for the 2008 that has the mini-DVI plug. I'd love to be able to get the less expensive card, but the early 2009 uses different memory than the early 2008.
    The cards have been used successfully in Mac Pros older than thiose listed by Apple
    <http://www.barefeats.com/nehal06.html>
    "If you didn't buy a new 2009 Mac Pro but want to use the new graphics cards released with the Nehalem Mac Pros, you can buy the GeForce 120 GT and Radeon HD 4870 in kit form from Apple. They both worked in our 2008 Harpertown 3.20GHz Mac Pro as you can see from the graphs above. We also got the Radeon HD 4870 to run in the 2007 Clovertown first generation Mac Pro. A close colleague has one working in the 2006 Woodcrest first generation Mac Pro."
    <http://blog.macsales.com/602-testing-those-new-graphics-cards>
    This report says the Radeon HD 4870 Mini DisplayPort didn't work in the older Mac Pros, but hat may be fixed when 10.5.7 appears.

  • Is it possible to connect an old cinema display (ADC) to an Imac (2012)?

    Hello,
    I want to add a second screen to my Imac and I found a Cinema Display (ADC). I went to see the screen and i connect it to my Macbook to test if it works. The guy who sold the screen had an ADC to DVI adapter and I bought an DVI to thunderbolt connector. It didn't work. He also tried to connect it to his Imac and still the screen didn't work. Is it even possible to connect the screen to an Imac?

    Is it the Apple version of the DVI to ADC adapter?  The signals from a Mini DisplayPort (or Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter may be weaker than normal DVI signals.  The Apple DVI to ADC adapter amplifies the DVI signals, so can work with signals that are too weak for non-Apple adapters.
    An ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter may produce stronger DVI signals.

  • Transferred Elements 8 to new power mac and get 150:30 error message and told licensing has stopped.

    How can I get Adobe Elements 8 activated on my new Power Mac?  Program has been transferred but I'm getting a 150:30 error message and told that my licensing has expired.

    If you don't really mean a power mac, but rather a new mac, you can never transfer an installed copy of PSE. The first thing to try is running the uninstaller and then installing from scratch. That may very well not work, though, in which case you have a lot more work to do.

  • Do the new Power Mac G5s come with a system disc?

    I ordered some new Power Mac G5s and was wondering if they come with a system disc? I like to wipe the drives clean and do my own clean install (sorry, nothing against ya Apple, I just feel better doing it myself) but I heard they don't come with a system disc and was wondering if that's true. I also ordered a Power Mac Server and was told the same thing.

    Hello there!
    A couple of quick questions if I may:
    Where are you getting "new" Power Mac G5s from?  Are these new to you or new in the box?  The reason I ask is since the G5 hasn't been in production for several years, I would *love* to get a "new in the box" one!  If you are getting a new Mac Pro, then they are currently shipping and here is a link to the Apple Store that shows what comes in the box:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/mac_pro
    And if the G5 comes "new in the box", then there should be Apple system restore disks in the box, so you can wipe and re-install to your heart's content, however you won't be able to run 10.7 Lion.  The PowerMac G5 stops at 10.5.8 Leopard.
    Cheers!

  • 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..

  • Can I use an old Apple Cinema Display with new Mac Mini?

    Currently I have an early PowerMac G5 that I bought used recently. It came with an Apple Cinema Display (20", I think - resolution is 1680x1050). The Cinema Display does not have a separate power cord so it must be powered from the PowerMac. My question is this - would I be able to use this monitor with a new Mac Mini - would it be able to power it the same as the PowerMac is currently.
    Thanks in advance for your help. This is the first Mac I have owned since a "Fat Mac" many years ago (one of those with the 9" black and white screen).

    Are you sure you have a 20" CINEMA display? I have 2x 20" CINEMA displays and both have their own power cord (and power brick). Maybe yours is a STUDIO display??? IDK if STUDIO displays worked that way or not, I've never owned one. Anyways, I have a 20" CINEMA display connected to my new Mac mini (early 2009) via the MiniDVI>DVI adapter and it works fine but is powered through the power cord though. I too have a PowerMac G5 (quad) but my PowerMac cannot power the displays without them being plugged in via their power cords. I am thinking you must have a STUDIO display or maybe there was an earlier version of the CINEMA display that could work that way.... idk. Mine were purchased at the end of 2005 along with the PowerMac G5 (quad).

  • No video on Mac Pro 266 + 20" Apple Cinema Display + ADC to DVI Adapter

    When I boot my Mac Pro, I don't get a video signal. I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display (clear case) connected via an ADC to DVI adapter. I have connected the monitor/adapter on a Powerbook G4 wihout any issues, which rules out the monitor. I've tried everything: resetting PRAM/NVRAM, motherboard reset button, unplugging everything...nothing works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you guys using the ADC to DVI adapter or the DVI to ADC adapter?
    I have a clear 23" cinema display and I was thinking of getting a new Mac Pro... From what I can tell, you need the DVI to ADC adapter that sells for $100+. Is that correct?

  • Using a 30" Cinema Display with new Mac Pro

    Hello Everyone:
    I just purchased, and waiting to arrive a new 2014 8 core Mac Pro which is an upgrade to my 2009 quad core Mac Pro. I currently use a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which has the DVI connection. I was thinking that I would use a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug the 30" into the HDMI port on the new Mac Pro. I have since heard that people have been having issues with this older monitor getting it to work properly with the new mac pro. some have suggested buy the $99 mini display port to DVI adapter and using that, but I don't believe there is a mini display port on the new mac pro.
    I have considered buying a new thunderbolt display because I am assuming that it will have a much better image quality than the older 30 in display but I hate the fact that it's a 27" and I would be giving up the 3" in size. I do a lot of video and audio recording editing and love the extra screen real-estate.  Can anyone confirm a couple of things for me?
    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new mac pro and can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the mach pro?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. Will the 30 inch display work with a new Mac Pro?
    Yes.
    Can I use the DVI to HDMI adapter?
    Not if you want full resolution.  You need a Mini DisplayPort to dual-link DVI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter>
    It plugs into a Thunderbolt port (and USB port) on the computer.
    2. Does the new Thunderbolt display have a much better image quality than the 30 in display and because its newer, will look that much better with the Mac Pro?
    No, it has more pixels (in the vertical direction), but they are spaced a bit more apart, so you don't want  to be as close to the display.
