Apple Cinema 20" and Windows XP

I'm not the most software savvy person, so I'd love it if someone could help me out here. I just got the 20" Apple cinema. I have a Dell Latitude D520 with Windows XP installed. I was advised that getting a d/dock would convert the VGA to DVI (I think I'm saying this correctly). I'm not sure if there's something else I need to install. My laptop is connecting with the d/dock and the light on the monitor is staying on, but nothing is showing up on the screen. I've tried going into properties but it doesn't seem to register that there's another monitor. What piece am I missing? Also, the d/dock does not have anything for the firewire cable, but I was told it should still operate with that.

Using a DVI display with a VGA computer requires an expesive VGA to DVI converter, such as:

Apple Cinema Displays and Windows

I know it will work with windows. But what kinda of
controls will I get? Since there is no controls on
the monitor it seems besides brightness. Or it all
depended on the graphic cards to be in control?
What is default color temp then?
Windows XP Pro

WinACP <http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/> will give you a monitor control panel in XP.

Help! Strange Problem with 23" Apple Cinema Display and Wireless Internet

For some reason, Safari runs much much slower on my housemates new 23" Apple Cinema Display than just on his new Macbook. He is running Tiger. We use Airport Extreme for house-wide wireless, and he has an Airport Express to connect to his printer. Here is what he wrote:
"Last night, I was watching videos on ABC.com --- not a problem to watch on my laptop screen (new Macbook) - very fast. Then, after dinner, I plugged in my external screen (Apple Cinema Display), and it was so slow and wouldn't load. I unplugged the screen, and it was lighting fast again, so I watched the videos on my laptop screen. This morning, I was plugged into the external monitor and the Internet was slow to check my email. I unplugged the screen, and it's lightning fast now on my laptop screen.
Does this make any sense??? Why would my external monitor affect the Internet speed? "

I am having a similar problem as well. When I attach my 23" cinema display to my MacBook core 2 duo, my connection to the internet immediately stops working. I have tested this several times and it happens every time I connect the Cinema Display to my MacBook. When I disconnect the Cinema Display, my internet connection works perfectly again. I'm stumped as to why this happens.
I have tried several different searches on the forums, but have found no other threads besides this one. I'm I won't have to suck it up and pay the $50 for the call to AppleCare support.

How can I run a 27" Apple Cinema Display and another monitor from my MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a brand new 15" MacBook Pro to replace my old one. I was told when ordering it that I would be able to hook up two external monitors to it using the Matrox DualHead2Go hardware. So, I also bought a 27" Cinema Display (non-Thunderbolt since it wouldn't work with the DH2Go). However, when I contacted Matrox they said their products don't support screens as large as the 27" ACD.
Bummer!
So, my question is: does anyone know how I can hookup a 27" Apple Cinema Display at 2560x1440 and a Acer 22" monitor at 1685x1050 (or, anything less really) to my new MacBook Pro?
I've looked around and haven't been able to find a good answer.
Thanks for your help!

Will something like this work? A USB to VGA adapter? Can I use this at the same time that I have a Cinema Display plugged into the Mini-DVI port and will they both work at the same time? Anyone know?

Wi-fi not working with Apple Cinema Display and Bluetooth-peripheral

Hello everyone.
I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. My problem is that when I use my macbook in closed-clamshell mode, the wi-fi connection becomes very slow and it regularly drops.
My external display is a Apple Cinema Display, 22-inch, model M8149. My mouse is the Apple Magic Mouse and my keyboard is the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Thanks in advance for helping me.

Good day Brett,
I followed the suggested steps and for Wireless Diagnostics is all ok, but my connectivity problems are not solved.
I have made two report of the analysis. The first in "normal" mode is downloadable here. The second in closed-clamshell mode is downloadable here.
Could you tell me what is going on?
Thank you a lot

23" Apple Cinema Display and accurate color?

I use a dual 2.3GHz Power Mac G5 along with a 23" Apple Cinema Display fro graphic design work. I used to use a Pantone Color calibration device when I was using third-party monitors with my Macs. Now that I have the Cinema Display, I haven't bothered to calibrate this wonderful monitor. I had heard that using Apple's displays with their own computers would display the most accurate color possible without calibration. I haven't changed the color settings in my Adobe products, and I'm not seeing any significant issues with my color outputs. Any advice on this subject is appreciated.

If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

Apple wireless network and windows adapter

I have an apple extreme wireless network established in our complex and most of the users of the network are window users. They want to connect to this network with a good strong signal. What is the best wireless adapter they should consider to purchase to connect to this wireless network other than Airport Express? What would be best for desktops as well as laptops?

The Apple base stations create a standard 802.11b/g or 802.11n wireless network (depending on how you configure them).
Therefore any wireless adapter compatible with those standards and Windows should work. Of course with Windows you always encounter strange unpredictable compatibility problems.
I suggest that you visit discussion areas dedicated to Windows or the flavor of hardware you are using. You will probably find many recommendations.

Apple Cinema Display and mini display port

I have purchased (for a ridiculous price) an adapter to allow me to use my cinema display with my new macbook pro retina system. While it does work it doesn't seem to allow me to use anything but best for display which is only 1280x800 resolution which is far less than this monitor supports and looks terrible. In fact for making me spend $30 for a stupid adapter is is very disppointing.
So first question is can anyone tell me if there is some way to get this to actually work?
Second question along the same line, is that I also purchased an adapter for mini display to VGA for using with projector systems that I sometimes need to hook up to when I go onsite to customer facitilites and within about an hour of being attached to an Acer monitor my entire system seg faulted and crashed with a hard reset. Equivalent to the Windows blue screen of death. I've never had this happen before and wondering if this is a known problem?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

Do you have your MacBook Pro in mirror mode or extended desktop mode (System Preferences > Displays)? If it's in mirror (the default) then the external display will be limited to the MBP's screen resolution. I use my miniDisplayPort -> DVI adapter all the time with my Sony Bravia TV and have no issues displaying 1920x1080 on the extended desktop.
Officially, the Retina MBP supports:
- 2880 by 1800 pixels (Retina mode)
- 1920 by 1200, 1680 by 1050, 1280 by 800, and 1024 by 640 pixels (scaled mode)
In System Preferences > Displays make sure your display setting is Extended and then select the extended display panel and select 1680x1050. See if that helps. If that works, then try the 1920x1200 setting if your display supports it. BTW, the extended display panel only appears if you actually have the external display connected.
What make/model monitor are you using?
Never heard of a system crashing because it was connected to a projector. I also use the miniDisplayPort -> VGA adapter to project and have never had a problem.
Is there anything else going on with your MBP?

Apple Bluetooth KB and Windows XP

Use a Mac at home but due to compatibility with software, Windows XP/PC at work. Bought an Apple Bluetooth keyboard on a lark (best designed bluetooth keyboard I could find) to use with a new Dell laptop with built-in bluetooth. Have checked archives and can't find solution. The XP connection wizard detects that there is a keyboard and even knows it is an Apple wireless keyboard, but when I try to add the connection (I think it is trying to pair) I get "Detection of service failed". Called Dell. Tried to help, but "3rd party hardware not supported". Understandable. Claimed I needed to call Apple and find out how to "reassign COM port" for the keyboard. Said it needed to be COM 20 or 21. Don't know enough to know if this makes any sense.
Anyone have any suggestions about how to get the device to pair?

ICal Shared over Apple formatted iPhone and Windows formatted iPhone

My wife and I both have iPhones (4 and 3G). Mine is Mac and hers is Windows. Is there a way to share a calendar between the two of us? Before you ask, she cannot reformat her phone to Mac.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the new gigabyte bios fixed the issue.

I have a 25" Apple Cinema Display and Macbook Pro. Want to use iSight camera on ACD.

When I use Skype or Google+ Hangout, I'm not able to use the built-in camera on the ACD. Is there a preference to switch camera from Macbook Pro to ACD?

I don't know about Google+ but in Skype's Preferences, there's an Audio/Video tab and within that window there's a popup menu for the camera. Does that allow you to select the ACD?

FCP7 2 apple cinema displays & 1 sony HDTV issues

Hello, I am having issues with connecting my 3rd montior which is a SONY HDTV. I am able to connect all 3 montiors and they all work fine as far as the workspace goes, but one thing I was used to when editing using a SONY DSR-11 was having the 3rd montior, in this case the Sony monitor, as the video ouput monitor, you know, to be able to see what I was editing rather than what I do now wich is drag the canvas window to the SONY monitor and enlarging it. It's kind of annoying to be honest. Anyway, anyone out there experience the same issue? I have an ATI Readeon 5770 card which has the two mini dislay ports for the 2 apple cinema displays and the DVI to HDMI port on the card. Also, I am able to view the cut on one of the apple cinema displays (i don't want this as i want it on the SONY display) when i hit view>external video>all frames and then for video playback the only options I getr is the apple displays AND its the wrong aspect ratio when i play it but when i pause, it goes back to the aspect ratio i shot it in. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Turn OFF [√] Mirror Displays
Then you get something like this:
The screens are connected along an edge of your choosing to make one large "Extended desktop". For your sanity, you arrange then in the same way (by dragging the blue boxes that represnt each display) to the same order they are in on your bench.
The mouse moves freely across the divide between screens, and it can carry a window with it. The little white bar is the menuBar, and it can be moved as well.
If you move a window onto another screen, it can be re-sized to fill almost the entire screen. If you split a window across displays, it scrolls and updates "the right way".

I cannot calibrate my Apple Cinema Display without getting an error message. I've done it many times before.

I have a 23" Apple Cinema Display and a MacPro running Snow Leopard. Using the built in calibration system I have calibrated the display several times in the past, but now I get an error message: The new calibrated display profile could not be created or set to be the current profile for this display." I have no applications open when I do the calibrating.

Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
ls -Odel Library/ColorSync/Profiles
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered – the text, please, not a screenshot.
