  • 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.

  • Can I use an old Apple Cinema Display with new Mac Mini?

    Currently I have an early PowerMac G5 that I bought used recently. It came with an Apple Cinema Display (20", I think - resolution is 1680x1050). The Cinema Display does not have a separate power cord so it must be powered from the PowerMac. My question is this - would I be able to use this monitor with a new Mac Mini - would it be able to power it the same as the PowerMac is currently.
    Thanks in advance for your help. This is the first Mac I have owned since a "Fat Mac" many years ago (one of those with the 9" black and white screen).

    Are you sure you have a 20" CINEMA display? I have 2x 20" CINEMA displays and both have their own power cord (and power brick). Maybe yours is a STUDIO display??? IDK if STUDIO displays worked that way or not, I've never owned one. Anyways, I have a 20" CINEMA display connected to my new Mac mini (early 2009) via the MiniDVI>DVI adapter and it works fine but is powered through the power cord though. I too have a PowerMac G5 (quad) but my PowerMac cannot power the displays without them being plugged in via their power cords. I am thinking you must have a STUDIO display or maybe there was an earlier version of the CINEMA display that could work that way.... idk. Mine were purchased at the end of 2005 along with the PowerMac G5 (quad).

  • 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?

  • How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

  • 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.

    They are also available on eBay.

  • Original 23" cinema display and new 23"display with new 8 core MacPro

    I am posting this experience to help others with similar questions.
    I just upgraded my tower from a dual 2.7 G5 to a new 8 core Mac Pro. I am using 2 23" cinema displays. One is an original first generation display (ADC connector) and the second is a newer 23" aluminum cased display.
    The original CD needs to use the ACD to DVI converter and has to be plugged into the DVI port on the Radeon 4870 card. Using the mini-display to DVI convertor will not work. The newer display will work in either port. Both displays now work as they did before...no issues.
    I hope this clarifies the situation for others with older displays

    Aaah, thanks again Apple! So that's why they modded the videocard, to sell more new displays.
    We got a set of fresh mac pro's yesterday, all fitted with the ATI Radeon 4870. I've just fitted it to our (< 1 year old) DELL 2408WFP displays. Unfortunately only the one with the regular DVI connector works. The one connected to the miniDVI does not recognize the monitor at all. (using the ACD to DVI) Not in windows, not in osx. I've tried the updated ATI drivers within windows, this does not do the trick. So thanks Apple, for almost delivering a good piece of hardware and not telling anyone about this problem.
    If there's any news other then "buy new displays" i'll post it here.

  • 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.
    Glenn

    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?

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

  • 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

  • How do i connect my Fujitsu Tablet + mac Pro to Apple Cinema Display 23'?

    Dear Mac users
    thanks in advance for your help.
    I currently own:
    • Fujitsu T 4220 (tablet) – Mobile Intel 965 Express – 60 Hertz – goes up to 1680*1050 (guess SXGA) – (it has the following other supported resolutions: 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600)
    • Mac Pro
    • Apple Cinema Display 23’
    What I would like to do is, please refer to the jpeg posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/34831802@N06/3234336204/, connect – at the same time – my tablet pc and my Mac Pro to the 23' Apple Cinema Display and switch (when I need) from tablet to MacPro using the same 23’ ACD. Top would be to be able to switch for one to the other while they’re both switched on. Usually on 2 pc’s with vga I’d use a switch A → B (in the jpeg it would be I → E) with a selector.
    Have been reading different posts such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8000641&#8000641 or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6530475&#6530475 or
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7417258&#7417258
    + others on the net and have (hopefully) understood that:
    a) from Vga to Dvi I need a converter such as Geffen’s or similar
    b) the problem with ACD 23’ is that it has only 3 resolutions: 1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200
    In the attached image I guessed a connection in order to connect – at the same time – both the machines to the 23’ ACD:
    1) my fujitsu tablet (i in the image) has to be connected, with a Vga cable (h), to the Vga → Dvi converter (g).
    2) from the Vga → Dvi converter (g) I need to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    3) easier is connecting the Mac Pro (e), since I only need a Dvi cable (d) to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    4) the Dvi switch (c) will then be connected to the 23’ ACD with a Dvi cable
    Now, my questions are:
    a) is the solution described above (Vga cable (h) to the Vga → Dvi converter (g)) a good solution or should I use, instead, a docking statione that comes with a Fujitsu Port Replicator (FPCPR65) which has a 1 x DVI-D port?
    b) Given the 3 resolution accepted by the 23’ ACD (1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200), I do not understand if I can use my tablet through a Vga to Dvi Converter and at which resolution (my tablet has the following other supported resolutions: 1680*1050, 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600).
    c) Is there a way, also using an external video card or converter, to bring my resolution from 1680*1050 to 1920*1200? (the 16:10 ratio is in fact the same = WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+ (1440x900), WSXGA+ (1680x1050), WUXGA (1920x1200)
    d) Talking about Vga → Dvi converter (g), am aware of the gefen product. Can you please list some others that might be good as well?
    e) And how about the DVI switch? Any will work? Any particular suggestion?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Emil

    No ideas?

  • Share Cinema Display and peripherals with MBP and PC

    Share Cinema Display and peripherals with MBP and PC
    I am about to be forced to use a business network connected PC in my office, but I will continue to bring my personal MacBook Pro to work for my personal e-mail, calendar, internet, etc. (it will be connected to a seperate open DSL network). I am thinking about getting an Apple Cinema display and trying to use this one display for both computers. I would like a way to "switch back and forth" between the two systems, all the while using the same mouse, keyboard, printer and Cinema display.
    Does anyone have any experience setting up what I am wanting to do?
    Also, how does connecting an external display effect a MBP? Can you close the screen on the MBP, turning off the MBP's display but keeping the computer running? I'd like to be able to tuck the MBP out of the way to save deskspace but still be using it via the Cinema display and peripherals...
    Thanks so much!

    You can use synergy (link: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) to link the mouse and keyboard across the two platforms.
    If you want to use only one display, you'll need a KVM switch.
    You can run the MBP either with it's own screen open, or shut it and use only the external screen.
    Hopefully this helps a little...
