Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant. I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use. Does anyone have a solution?

I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

24" and 30" cinema displays on same card?

Will either the GT120 or ATI card allow you to connect both a 24" and 30" cinema display on the same graphics card? The 30" cold use the dual link DVI port and the 24" could use the MiniDisplay port; I just don't know if two different resolutions on each port are supported...

You can run both from the same card, and with different resolutions. Of course you won't get full resolution on both displays when mirroring different size displays, but in extended desktop mode they can each run at full resolution..

3 Monitors with 1 iMac and 2 Cinema Displays conected to Windows Gaming PC Help!

Hi
I want to set up a 3 monitor gaming set up with 1 iMac in the middle and 2 cinema displays either side. This would be a tripple monitor set up.
I am looking to set up a new computer and i want to have 3 monitors. I also want to have an iMac so i want the iMac in the middle and two cinima displays next to each other. i Want to also conect these monitors with a Windows 7 gaming PC.
I want to hook up my very powerfull windows 7 gaming computer wich has 3 SLI GTX 560 EVGA cards. These cards have a display port output.
So i want to run 3 monitors from my gaming machine and i also want to have my iMac use the 3 monitors aswell. I also want to take advantage of the full, maximum resolution. I would get the thunderbolt cinema display monitors.
Gaming comupter has 3 display ports so i need to connect each graphics card to one of the monitors. I then need to conect the two cinema displays to the middle iMac.
I have not bought anything yet i just need to know if i can do this. Need to know stuff like what adapers to buy and what compatabilties.
I need to know if this is posible and how i would do it.
Thanks

Could i use some of these cables?
It says they are thunderbolt conpatable.

All a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
Gives me a backache just looking at those people

Macbook and the Cinema display

Hi,
I'm about to purchase a Cinema display for my Macbook, before doing so I have several questions.
In the Apple store at the Cinema display section there is told that the Apple displays are specially designed for the Mac Pro and Macbook pro's. I wonder if the displays work in the same way with my Macbook. I know that I need a Mini DVI to DVI cable. My question is if there are any disadvantages compared to the pro products. And I wonder if there are any users with experience related to the Macbook and the Cinema display.
regards,
Koen

I have a first gen macbook and a 23" cinema display. I can't compare directly to the pro products but, I am very happy with the display and how it works with my laptop. I get full resolution and a firebox/USB hub. It's pretty sweet. I would tell you that if you are about to buy a display I would hold off for the leopard anouncement, the rumor is apple will replace the current display line up.

Best performance dual 30 inch cinema displays dual x1900 card(s) ?

I am trying to get the maximum performance out of my system. I have a Mac Pro with two 30 inch cinema displays. I have them both connected to one X1900 card.
I use LightRoom as my photo work flow manager. I spread the library across both monitors as I sort thru photos.
Performance is good but sorting thru several thousand RAW files I need every bit of speed I can get.
Would I get better performance if I used two x1900 cards, one for each monitor? how about the 7300 or the FX4500? would those improve speed or better just for gaming?
thanks in advance for any help.

Two Quad-core with 8-16GB RAM, and your media fles on RAID.
I'd configure with 4 x 750GB WD RE2s. Can't easily swap or upgrade cpu so that is a given until you know and Apple has something that would make sense to buy/swap to newer faster systems (maybe in a year or next summer).
There is no support for two 16x lane slots. Maybe in the future but not now.
I doubt your performance is limited or factor of the twin 30s on the Radeon. It might. Try running with just one monitor for a few hours.

New Mac Pro and Apple Cinema Display

Warning, for those of you upgrading to the new Mac Pro and you plan on using your old Cinema Display, you will not get the maximum resolution out of the display. In fact, you only get 1650 x 800--which of course is way under utilizing install resources and on top of that not a great picture. Even using recommended set up (mini display to DVI adaptor) does not help. You need a Thunderbolt Display for best video performance. Unless someone out there knows a way to do this--be prepared also to buy a new display.

Turbostar, it is the Apple 30 inch cinema display. Yes it works but the max resolution is 1650 X 800 which while acceptable does not get me 2560 x 1600 which my D500 GBUs would deliver. The new Pro is optimized for a Thunderbolt display, I am using the correct connection protocols as recommended by Apple on their web page for this system. There is a specific note in Apple support noted that Cinema displays will only provide xxxx resolution on the new Mac Pro's. Corsair.

DVI Distribution Amp between Macbook and 30" Cinema display

I'm wanting to split my output from my macbook Pro to two different outputs, one of them being a 30" mac cinema display. Currently I have the display port to DVI plugged in the laptop, then the DVI plugged into a 1:2 splitter, then the cinema display and another output plugged in there. This works, but the dist amp is single link so I'm restricted to 1280 resolution.
My question is if anyone has used this setup with a dual link splitter and mac adapter cable and gotten the full resolution on the 30" display. I don't really see any reason it wouldn't work, but before I drop $300 into the splitter, I wanted to see if anyone can confirm this setup would or would not work.

That's still not going to work. The 30" ACD is fairly limited in this way. It doesn't have a normal scaler like almost every other monitor and can only display two resolutions, namely 2560 x 1600 when running dual-link and 1280 x 800 from single link. When it does display formats between those two resolutions, it is actually displaying at full 2560 x 1600 (dual-link) and the scaling is happening within the computer, not the monitor. So you can't use a splitter, not even a dual-link one, for what you want to do.
Have you considered running the TV from one of those USB video adapters? What kind of content do you plan to have on the TV? As long as it isn't something like video, the USB solution might work for you.

IBM T23 and Apple Cinema Displays??

I have just purchased an Apple 23" Cinema Display for my 4 computers. I have a DVI switcher as well. I have 2 Desktop PCs, a PowerMac G5 and a T23 laptop (for work). My cinema display works great on the 3 other computers because they all support DVI. I have the port replicator for my T23 and thought it would support DVI based on the connector on the back. Problem is, it doesn't. (Found this out after reading alot online).
To make a long story longer, I cannot use remote desktop on my T23 because I use a VPN to connect to work all day and that negates RDP from one of my other computers.
I have tried a passive VGA to DVI adapter, but the Cinema Display will not see the signal. I am sure it is not powerful enough, or in the right clocking speed...or that it is not digital.
I was wondering if anyone else with a T23 has had any success with this type scenario. I am trying to not have to buy a $299 powered VGA to DVI adapter.
Any info would greatly be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Doug

If you have a 8th inch to RCA(the three red, white, and yellow prongs) adapter. Then yes.
Other than that, apple sells a cable that you can plug into your iPod that will allow you to plug the iPod in to a TV(or anything with RCA in).

I think that is what you are looking for.
Just joking. I didnt see that you wanted to use it with the cinema display thing.
I dont have that, so I really dont know. Sorry. It was worth the try.

Will my old isight camera work with my Macbook pro and HD Cinema display?

I have it hooked up but can't get the computer to switch from the built in camera to the external one.

Firewire iSights can be picky about how they are connected. My first suggestion for your particular trouble is to try connecting directly to one of your Mac's built-in FW ports rather than via the monitor's Firewire hub. More info:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage6.html
If necessary, you can use the suggestions from How to test your (external) iSight to ensure it is functional to be sure it is working with your new Mac.
The solutions to your issues about switching from the built-in camera depends on which application you are using to operate your iSight. Here is how camera selection works in a few exampleS:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see this choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your iSights. In that case, consider the suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
This choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, when my external iSight was disconnected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting your external iSight should allow you to choose either camera.
iMove 8 (from iLife '09) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth is a different matter. PB is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless you make your built-in iSight the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use your Firewire external iSight:
• Connect your external iSight and turn it on.
• Quit Photo Booth (PB) if it is running.
• Launch any app with a user-selectable camera "Preferences..." menu command.
(The "tip" suggests that you use iChat, but others should work as well.)
• Open "Preferences..." and set the camera "Preference" to use your built-in iSight.
• Now launch PB. PB should now use the external iSight
because your built-in camera is in use by the other application.
(4) For apps other than those above, see their Help or other documentation.
(5) If you have specific questions, we will try to help, too.
