30 Inch Apple Monitor to share with a MacBook & Mac Pro

I have a MacBook and a Mac Pro, I have (1) 30 Inch Apple Display.
What hardware can I get to share the same monitor, say with a touch of a button or something, to share the display with both machines are running.
I want to go back and forth with each machine using the (1) 30 Inch Apple Display.
Anyone recommend what hardware I need?
A lot of store clerks have no idea.

If it's a newer MacBook with Mini DisplayPort, you will need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter

If it's an old MacBook with Mini DVI, you will need a Mini DVI to DVI adapter

but the 30" will run at half resolution since mini DVI is only single-link.

  • 23" Apple Cinema HD Display with a new Mac Pro

    I just replaced my old G5 Power Mac with a new Mac Pro. The old 23" Cinema HD monitor does not have the same connectors.
    Apple no longer makes the ADC-DVI adaptor that I need.
    Any solutions? Thank you.

    eBay search in Computers and Networking for: ADC DVI -(ATI, card, GeForce, Radeon, NVidia, Belkin)
    Remember that a simple adapter will not supply the needed POWER to run the display. Other brands will work if they supply the power as well as adapt.

  • Will my old monitors are compatible with the new Mac Pro?

    I'm thinking about buy a new workstations (MacPro) but I need to know if my Monitors are compatible or I need to buy a new ones.
    I have a Cin Dsplay 23-inch DVI Early 2007 and a LED Cinema Display (24-inch).
    Kind regards

    The 24" LED's Mini DisplayPort plug will go into a Thunderbolt port on the Mac Pro.  The 23" DVI display will need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

  • Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac?

    Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac? I have no problem Home Sharing with MacBook Pro.  I have set up all Sharing settings on my iMac exactly the same as my MacBook Pro.  The operating system on my iMac and MacBook Pro is the same (OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.4).

    shared lib was around long before appletvs
    in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
    if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
    then the problem is with the appletv somehow
    if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
    or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
    if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

  • How can i use 3(or more) hdmi monitors with the new Mac Pro(2013)?

    I've been looking around, trying to find a solution to this problem.
    I saw at one place that an active thunderbold -> DVI will work with the older mac pro model.
    Will this work with the new one as well?
    Will i be able to connect 3 screens if i use 2 passive thunderbold->hdmi and one
    active thunderbold->dvi and then a dvi->hdmi?

    If you need to buy Apple's $99 Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapters you may find you need to return and replace the adapter/s till you find one that works.
    Recently, after my nMP arrived I bought two adapters. It took 3 trips to the Apple store to find a second one that worked properly. This also happened a few months ago when I was buying those adapters.
    You should be aware that you'll also need the DVI cable that has the full set of pins, not the one with the row in the middle missing.
    If you check on the Apple customer reviews in the online store you'lll find the issues and possible solutions to this situation.
    Eventually I returned the second adapter when I found a way to get 2560 x 1600 through the HDMI port. I now have two 30" monitors that display 2560 x 1600.

    You don't say what sort of Inputs it has available, but if VGA, DVI or HDMI then yes, you might need to buy an adapter of some type though ...

  • Apple Store - Selling Airport Extreme Cards for Mac Pro

    I would venture to say that most people are not aware that the "standard" Airport Extreme Cards will not work for the Mac Pro, so I felt it important to let it be known.
    This past weekend, I purchased a Mac Pro at an Apple Store in Texas. I picked up an Airport Express Card and asked the associate if it was compatible with the new Mac Pro's. He first thought it was already on the base config, which I knew had to be false. He went and looked it up, and sure enough it wasn't included but he did confirm that that Airport Express Card will in fact work with the Mac Pro.
    After driving home nearly 2 hours, I pop the case to find out that the Airport slot is by no means the same; it's much smaller.
    I see two problems with this:
    1. They should clearly mark on the box that the Airport Express Card is not compatible with the new Mac Pro (it's on the website description).
    2. The Apple Store Staff should be well aware of this change. Especially, since at the time I purchased the Mac Pro, the NEW Airport cards were not even shipping yet.
    Just sharing my frustrations and also informing anybody about to head into a store to make a purchase... heads up.
    Thanks for listening,
    Marc

    As you've found out they are NOT the same. In actual fact, as Apple classes them as a service centre only installation you won't be able to buy one from an Apple Store without an installation. They won't sell you a standalone part. Other place will however sell them.
    The part number you are after, I believe, is MA688ZM/A.

  • Will a Lenovo LI2821 work well with a new Mac Pro?

    I'd like a 4k monitor or better for my new Mac Pro Computer. I'd also like it to have a Web Cam. I found the Lenovo LI2821... but I'm concerned because it is much cheaper than other monitors. Anyone have experience (or things I should be aware of )with this monitor and the new Mac Pro?

    The image is display through an LCD screen on all non-plasma screens. LED refers to the backlight source. In the past florescent lights was used but now better one have LED backlight like the LG.
    On drawback of yours is that the screen type is TN which is old technology
    IPS (In-plane switching) is a screen technology used for liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It was designed to solve the main limitations of the twisted nematic field effect (TN) matrix LCDs in the late 1980s, such as relatively high response time, strong viewing angle dependence and low-quality color reproduction.
    My 24 "Dell 4K uses AH-IPS
    mproved colour accuracy, increased resolution and PPI, and greater light transmission for lower power consumption.[8]

    Somehow the Notes app on my personal iPhone 4 has synced with my workplace Mac Pro.  How do I change this?

    They do not have the same apple id's.  I want to sync notes to my personal computer through icloud - just not my work computer. I will try to delete the account for my work Mac the way you suggest.  I just can't figure out how my Mac Pro linked to my personal iPhone.  They are separate accounts, separate ids, separate emails, Mac Pro account was set up by the IT guy at work.  Thanks for your help.
