Add old 18-inch Studio Display to 2013 iMac; How ??

I need more screen real estate. My current computer is a 27-inch iMac, bought in May, 2013. When I bought the iMac the folks at the Apple store across town told me I needed an adapter to run a 2nd monitor and they sold me a “Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter”. The DVI end of this has a 24-pin female connector with one horizontal bar.
My new machine replaced a dual G4 Mac tower, from 2002, that used an 18-inch Studio Display monitor. Problem is, this monitor has a 30-pin male connector with one horizontal bar that simply won't fit my adapter.
The guy at my near-by Microcenter store told me that they have no adapters to handle the transition between my old Studio Display and my new computer. But he said he thought Apple had something for $190 that would handle the transition. Hmmmmm. I can get a new monitor for less than that!
I've spent a couple hours rummaging around in the FAQs and don't find anything that helps me.
Anybody have any suggestions about how to attach my old Studio Display to my newish iMac?

  • I have an old 23 inch cinema display will it be compadible with the new retina MacBook pro?

    So I have an old 23 inch cinema display from 2006 and it's been in our basement for a few years and I'm going to buy the new MacBook pro with retina display I'm wondering if these 2 products will be compatible so I could work at my desk the display Powers up fine I just need to know if they're compatible ?

    Assuming your 23" Cinema Display has a DVI connector or a built-in DVI cable, all you'll need will be a mini-displayport-to-single-link-DVI adapter or cable, and the display should work well.

  • Connecting Studio Display 17' To iMac

    hey, my mom had a old mac with the silver tower. And she had a studio Display 17" and she just recently got a cinema dispaly and gave the screen to me. I am wondering what adapters i need to connect the Studio Display 17" TO my iMac G5. Thanks.

    Hi
    You need to use a DVI to ADC adapter. They're available from Apple or Dr. Bott. The ADC connector was introduced with the Gigabit Ethernet G4s and requires an extra power connector on the logic board just above the standard AGP slot. The Sawtooth models lack this, hence the power has to be supplied externally via an adapter. Unfortunately they're fairly expensive as the adapter includes the power supply.

    I'm not sure whether the above link will time out, but you can search the German online Apple store for DVI ADC adapter.

  • Old Blue & White Studio Display

    Hope this is the right forum for this one.
    I have one of the Blue and White Studio LCD displays (Model 4551) which goes with my trusty B&W G3. I am about to get the backlights replaced as they are a little tired now and I was thinking that it might be possible to replace the actual LCD panel with a more modern one that has better contrast and viewing angles than the old one. Just wondered if any one has tried this or indeed found a suitable replacement panel at all.
    Not cost effective I know but I would like any info anyway.

  • How to get old apple CRT studio display to stock settings?

    The adjustments of my screen have been messed with and I keep trying to mess with it, but I can't seem to get it right. Is there a way to put the screen adjustment settings back to stock?

    You shouldn't need any software. Any software that came with the display would have been for OS 9, anyway. They stopped selling the display before OSX came out, but OSX should be able to use it with its built-in drivers. Do you hear the startup sound from the display's power supply? Can you see the glow of the CRT filament?

  • Premiere Pro Cs5.5 suddenly stop recognizing my 24''inch second display on my imac

    Hi there,
    I have Premiere Pro installed on my imac 27inch with an ATI Radeon HD 4850. 'Til yesterday it had been working properly but all of a sudden stop to playing video on my second display. If I go to the "Playback settings", either source or program monitor ones, it seems like PP can't see the display anymore. I did reboot everything, actually several times but nothing worked. Does anyone knows if there's a preference file in the mac's library that can be gone corrupted or any other solution to my issue?
    I should say the display is a Philips 241E1 full hd although I don't think that is gonna make any difference. Sometimes I also plug in my Sony Bravia 40inch hdtv through a DVI to HDMI adapter and always PP recognized both.
    It didn't happen while performing this operation but just while editing some stuff.
    Any suggestion to this is gonna be warmly appreciated, thanks.

    Ok, just to let you know in case you may encounter the same problem, 5 mins later after I've been writing this post, and after a couple of days was blasting my head off to get this sorted, here it comes the last (but worth) attempt: I decreased the resolution of my main display from 2560X1440 to 1920X1200 and left my secondary display's res to 1920X1080. Then I booted up Premier Pro and.. immediately it worked. So, with PP still on I switched back my main screen res to 2560X1440 and everything went fine. Kinda odd workaround but...

  • Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

    I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

  • Apple Studio Display 15" LCD Flatscreen Monitor to connect to my MBP

    hi have an older 15 inch studio display that has the ACD connection any suggestion on how to get it to work with my macbook pro to do dual monitors? thanks!

    In order to do this you need to use an adapter to go from DVI to ADC. This can be found here http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=187 2D402&nplm=M8661LL/B
    Good luck hope that works out!

  • 15" Apple Studio Display problems

    I have an old 15" Apple Studio Display (Blueberry) that I'm using with my MacPro. Every once and awhile it will flicker. It acts like it turns off and then on. The screen never goes black. I can still see whatever is on the screen. In fact, it gets larger for a split second.
    The connection is good. No loose cables.
    I am sharing the monitor with the Blue and White G3 using a Belkin Flip.
    Any ideas?

    Do you hear a zapping sound when it happens? It could be high voltage arcing. Blowing out dust might help.

  • Studio displays and G4

    Will an Apple 21" studio display with the built in 4-port USB hub work with a sawtooth G4? I believe these have a 15 pin VGA, right?

    I saw that your equipment configuration was the same as mine, and hoped you might have some advice on a problem that I posted this evening. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
    My 17-inch studio display CRT monitor (which was working fine) recently died, and I purchased a used, but 'swear-to-goodness-still-functioning' 21-inch studio display CRT monitor from Ebay to use with my G4/ACP Graphic/desktop Power Mac.
    When I installed the new monitor, (connecting the three cables: AC power, VGA and USB), and restarted the computer I saw a clear (but horizontally compressed) band of picture about 4 inches wide running from the top to the bottom of the monitor for the first 30 secs of startup. Then the click of a relay and the picture disappears to leave a black screen. After that, all that happens is a constant 'fluttering' sound from the back of the monitor.
    I tried restarting and zapping the PRAM, but no change.
    Would welcome any suggestions on what to try next....

  • 17inch Studio Display - What Cable to connect to Mac Pro?

    Hi Folks:
    I just got a Mac Pro with a 23" cinema display, and an ATI X-1900 card, but I also have a 17inch Studio Display that I was using with a G5. Which cable adapter do I need to connect the 17inch display to the Mac Pro as a second monitor?

    I have the 17 inch studio display connected to my Mac Pro (X1900) via the ADC to DVI adaptor. It sits next to a 23in Cinema HD Display. If you do this be prepared for the rather shocking difference in display quality. I hardly ever use the 17in because I can't stand to look at it compared to the 23in. You probably are better off getting a newer cheaper monitor rather than spending $100 bucks on the adaptor.

  • Macbook to studio display, which lead?

    what lead do i need to run my old apple 17" studio display from my macbook? mini-dvi vga female to male blah blah blah....spell it out for an idiot!
    thanks in advance.

    The 17" Apple Studio Display probably has an "ADC" connector on it. So, you will need two adapters to connect your MacBook to this kind of display.
    1. Mini DVI to DVI Adapter
    2. Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter
