Any Software for Old Style 23" Cinema Display?

I just bought a second hand 23" Cinema Display (plastic casing) and it is gorgeous. Unfortunately the previous owner did not have the box or any of the accompanying literature or software.
It all works fine and the picture quality is excellent with none of the issues that have been reported on the new Al 23" model. However, I can't quite fathom out how the power button is supposed to work. I can wake the monitor and Mac from sleep yet that seems to be the limits of its functionality. Should it do anything else like put the monitor and Mac to sleep or shut them down?
Is there any software that I should have to add a few more capabilities? I've seen mention of Apple Display Software elsewhere. Is that required if I am running Mac OS 10.4.2?
If so is there anywhere that I can download that from? Also I would like a copy of the user manual even if it's just in PDF form. Is there a URL for that? The only one I could find was for the 22" Cinema Display.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Here's a little Applescript I've put in place to sleep the screen a minute after it's executed, provided I don't press a key or move the mouse. I saved it as an application and bound it to an unused key on my keyboard.
do shell script ("pmset force displaysleep 1")
do shell script ("sleep 90")
do shell script ("pmset force displaysleep 15")
What this does is change the values for the EnergySaver in memory (the defaults remain unchanged) to sleep the display after 1 minute of inactivity (the minimum setting), then wait for 90 seconds then set it to 15 minutes (my default, but you can change this value to whatever your default is).
So if I press the button on my keyboard and leave my desk the screen will now sleep 1 minute later. If I use my Mac within that minute then it won't sleep.
I would love to be able to immediately put the screen to sleep. Setting the displaysleep value to 0 actually turns off the Energy Saver for the screen, so that's not an option.

Help I need a "power brick" for my 30-inch cinema display!!!!!

I recently moved and lost my "power suppy brick" for my 30-inch cinema display..How do I get another one?? The Applestore wanted my old one to do a even exchange?? But I can't do that...And they don't sell the product as a replacement. I'm stuck with a 2 month old display I can't even use! Any ideas???

If the display is covered by AppleCare call 1(800)275-2273 and ask for a replacement power adapter. They will send the new unit first, and you are supposed to return the bad unit. You give them a credit card number when you order the part, so they can charge you, if for some reason they don't receive the old part.

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.

Re: How do I connect a new Thunderbolt MBP to and old 23" HD Cinema Display ADC port Jul 8, 2011 4:58 PM (in response to Russy47)
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.

Where can I purchase a Logic Board for a 24" Apple Cinema Display?

My 24" Cinema Display started to flicker and black out shortly after I purchased my most recent MacBook Pro. Apple felt that the issue was the MacBook Pro so they replaced it. The problem continued so they suggested I take the Cinema Display to the Genius Bar. The display was out of warranty and the Apple Genius felt the issue was a bad display even after I told him I smelt silicon burning just before it went out completely. He said that he could "depot" the unit and have it repaired for ~$600. Due to the high cost of repair, I chose to purchase a new Thunderbolt Display instead. Recently, I opened the old Cinema Display and found that the Logic Board is fried. I have ordered a new board from 2 different Web retailers. Both accepted the purchase as "in stock" but then stated they could not get the board from Apple. Where can I purchase the Logic Board for a 24" Apple Cinema Display?
Many thanks!

I was very interested to read this document. I think there is a problem with the Cinema Display and that it is frying the computer.
My husband bought each of us a macbook pro. His was hooked up to the cinema display. After about a year, his MBP started to suffer intermittent failures where it would suddenly shut off and have to be hard rebooted. After 2 years, the power or logic board on his MBP completely failed. He bought a new MBP and a Thunderbolt display, and I inherited his Cinema Display for use with my original MBP.
After one month of use with the cinema display, my MBP started to have the same problems. It has to be hard rebooted almost every time I disconnect or reconnect with the cinema display. I went to the Genius bar, and they confirmed that my MBP logic board needs to be replaced; I'm just holding out until spring break to take it back in, as they say it may take a week. Fortunately, I have AppleCare for my MBP.
Our cinema display is 3-4 years old, but it looks like, even though it appears to be working, I should probably get rid of it. I can't keep frying computers!
I'm posting this because I'm wondering how many others are experiencing this problem.

IMac retina 5K, able to run old Apple LED Cinema Display?

I am considering purchasing a new iMac retina 5K but will I be able to run my old Apple LED Cinema Display with Mini DisplayPort cable from this? and if so will each monitor retain their native resolution?
Thanks for your time.

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.

Hi Lionel,
As a general rule of thumb, the ATI Rage 128 Pro will not support a 20" LCD. That being said, there are reports of it doing just that (possibly the edition that went into the cube).
I'm not that familiar with the ins and outs of the Cube, so I can't give you authoritative information on it.
A good place to start looking for answers is:

Is there any software for macbook to recover a deleted file?

Is there any software for macbook to recover a deleted file?

Hope & prayer?
Whatever it is you end up using, it is IMPERATIVE you stop using the Mac until the rescue is completed.The more the drive gets modified, the greater the chance that the storage area the deleted file used to occupy will get written over, thereby making rescue impossible.

Does anybody know any software for the Mac that I can run round robin, single and double elimination tournaments?

Does anybody know any software for the Mac that I can run round robin, single and double elimination tournaments? I help run tournaments but using excel for pool play and the web for bracket play, but if wifi is not available I have no way of running brackets for prize play. Can some one help point me in the direction of software that I can use locally on my Mac Pro.
Thanks,

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

Thanks Brian,
Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

I have an old 30" apple cinema display (2005) I want to use as a 2nd monitor to a new iMac (2012). I don't just want mirror image of iMac; what's the best way to do this?

I have not bought the iMac yet but will do so very soon and just want to make sure I have what I need to get everything setup including adding the old faithful 2005 30" cinema display. Currently I am driving the old 30" cinema display with a macbook pro also purchased 2005 and happy to say I got a lot of good miles out of this rig. What's the best way to connect the old 30" monitor as a second display for the new generation iMacs?
Other Questions
I can find online new in unopened box a 2012 iMac 27" i7 with 1T Fusion Drive for $1899 no sales tax. This seems like a pretty good deal since I notice the same is available from Apple refurbished for $100 more plus sales tax. I know that they say the Fusion drive is a lot faster on 2013 models but some of the speed tests I reviewed online showed the 2012 i7 and 2013 i7 very close on speed for both storage and processing. Any thoughts?
I don't like changing batteries so I would buy a separate Apple keyboard with numeric pad since it only comes with wireless keyboard. I'm a trackpad enthusiast having been using my macbook pro trackpad with current set up; and I am prepared to buy the Apple trackpad and replace batteries every 2 months but I would greatly prefer USB connection and rechargeable trackpact. I know Logitech makes one so if anyone is using and knows how it compares to Apple's I'm all ears.

You can use USB for the Apple trackpad.

Mini DisplayPort adapter for 23" Apple HD Cinema Display?

hello all,
I'm sure this has been asked and answered here, but I can't find it! (grrr...)
I've got an 23" Apple HD Cinema display and a new iMac. The iMac has a "mini DisplayPort". Now, the Cinema Display has a 3 x 10-pin (not 3 x 8) DVI connector. The WIKI thing about DVI calls it a "DVI M1-DA (Dual link + USB)".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
For the life of me, I can't find an Apple (or other) adapter with the 10-pin connector to attach to the iMac?
many thanks,
b myers

If it's the old, plastic cased, 23" display, it may use ADC (Apple Display Connector).
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
In that case, you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

Extension cable for Apple 24" LED Cinema Display

Purchased the newly refreshed Mac Pro (Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor) and an Apple 24" LED Cinema Display. (The new graphics cards support the mini displayport.) They work well together and I am happy with the results.
There is a snag. The cable on the monitor is too short to reach my computer, which needs to go under the desk. The cable on the display is hard wired. I would prefer not to drill a new hole in the desk if I can avoid it.
The obvious solution would be an extender cable. I find a number of cables that support the displayport standard, but all are M to M. In fact, Belkin notes that their cables are NOT for Apple's mini displayport. The Apple store has nothing on its site, call to the Apple store yielded no solution, and I live four hours from the nearest Apple store. Apple after moving to standard solutions appears to have gone back to a proprietary one again.
I cannot be the only one having this problem. Anybody found a way to extend this cable?

It is around two feet long. I would not have a problem with this if I could extend it or Apple had adopted the standard cable with female connector on the display so I could purchase a longer cable. Apple has a long history of slipping into proprietary solutions that are often good (e.g., magsafe on MacBook) but tend to cramp ones ability to come up with solutions they have not thought of.
There are a growing number of m-m cables that would work from various vendors like Belkin, but I have found no extenders from Apple or any other vendor.
As to the monitor itself, I LOVE it. I am sure there will be a solution eventually. I have the new Mac Pro and monitor on the kitchen counter. Not sure how long my wife's patience will last.

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
