CAN CINEMA DISPLAY BE USED WITH LATEST MACBOOK PRO?

I'm considering buying the newest 15" macbook pro and using it formy desktop and mobile computer. I use a 27" cinema display. My"computer guy" said that the current macbook pro i have (the modelbefore this latest one) could not handle being plugged into a cinemadisplay because the graphics card was not powerful enough. Does anyoneknow if these latest models can be used with a cinema display?

If it uses ADC
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

and a Mini DisplayPort or HDMI to DVI adapter.  (The Mac Mini should come with a HDMI to DVI adapter.)

  • How Can I Get an 23" Cinema Display to work with a MacBook Pro 15"?

    A 23" Cinema Display (M8536) will not display with and adapter connected to a MacBook Pro 15" (mid 2010). Adapter used is Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter. What's wrong?

    They removed the audio input, starting from your model, you will need an USB interface, there are may, and it depends on how high of quality you need.
    This works for most applications, unless you are trying to record "music quality"

  • 23" HD cinema display power button with 2010 MacBook Pro

    The power button on my 23" HD cinema display (clear enclosure) doesn't turn on my 2010 MacBook Pro. I don't use both screens at once much and would like to leave the laptop shut. Is there a workaround?

    Thanks! I found I can also start up, close the lid (and sleep), then just click to wake the machine.

  • Are there any good external transflective displays to use with the MacBook Pro?

    I have an early 2011 macbook pro, which is great for indoor use, but is absolutely unusable outside. I like to work outside when possible, but the glare on the screen makes it impossible.
    I know there are transflective LCD displays that work great outside, like the Pixel Qi displays, which even support 1280x800 resolution (http://pixelqi.com/our_screens). I'm wondering if there's a consumer implementation of these that I could buy and plug into my macbook to use as my display while working outdoors.
    Has anyone found a good portable transflective monitor that can plug into the mini display port or usb?

    The new features can be found here:
    http://rufus.deuchler.net/2011/05/the-adobe-illustrator-new-features-cheat-sheet.html
    As for the tutorials, I assume that would be very difficult, since people have moved on to the next version and you'll find a mixed variety of versions covered on most tutorial websites.
    I would try Lynda.com. They might still have trainings categorised by versions.
    And of course the Illustrator WOW book. You might even get used copies.

  • Can anyone recommend a backlit keyboard to use with the Macbook Pro?

    I like to hook my laptop up to a larger monitor and work that way while at home with an external keyboard hooked up by usb. I am using an older mac keyboard but its hard to see the keys if the room is not well lit. Can someone recommend a backlit external keyboard to use with the macbook pro that has a number pad? This seems really hard to find for some reason... Thanks!

    Logitech makes a USB-powered backlit keyboard but it is for Windows PCs. You should check its Web site to see if it has a similar one for Macs.

  • Do i need to reformat a samsung m3 for using with a macbook pro

    Hello
    Do i need to reformat a new samsung m3 for using with a macbook pro?
    I have an old bipra which i use and i just remember literally plugging it in and going.
    thanks for any info.

    I don't know about your particular configuration but usually Disk Utility not recognizing a drive means the drive/card is history.  My G4 running OSX 10.4.11 will format SD cards.
    I don't know your model computer. Is this one with a SD slot built in?  If it is, do you have an external reader, or can you try another card in this slot to see if it is a slot problem?

  • I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro

    I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
    the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that.  there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
    <Re-Titled by Host>

    FTFY (for readability):
    "I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
    The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
    There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
    Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
    Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
    What model of Mac do you have?
    What version of OSX are you using?
    What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
    What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
    Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    Looking for the best option here. What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    You should check your date of purchase against the manufacturer's warranty
    or guaranty since some of those better brands have some recourse should
    they fail within a specified time period. A good reason to save dated receipts.
    Since solid-state USB drives probably don't (all) use a wear-leveling software
    to equally utilize their recordable space evenly, it is possible that some of these
    may exhibit a failure in some sector areas due to excessive over-writing. If the
    ones you use do not have such a technology or an undercounted total capacity
    with a means to automatically write in other sections, you may have to consider
    manually using a disk utility to zero-overwrite and reformat them occasionally.
    Even so, that may only help a marginal flash or thumb drive work a little longer.
    Should a camera memory card fail you still may be able to attempt with margin of
    success, to +recover image files+ from it. re: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    The standard default format they ship with works well for most file types; so if
    you aren't moving OS X or Mac app specific files around on a USB flash drive,
    the original format should be fine. Oh, you can use Disk Utility to attempt to do
    a repair; but in some cases you may have to reformat them, etc.
    {Some of the flash drive warranties or guarantees may vary from between regions;
    so if you have one with a '5 Year' guarantee in the US, other rules may apply in EU,
    or when you seek to replace an item under warranty outside of where it was bought.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Monitor HP w2448hc needs a driver to be used with my Macbook Pro, but HP only offers download to Microsoftprograms,... My screen behave unstable, waves, and I need to do something. Waht do I do?

    Monitor HP w2448hc needs a driver to be used with my Macbook Pro, but HP only offers download to Microsoftprograms,... My screen behave unstable, waves, and I need to do something. Waht do I do?

    Monitor HP w2448hc needs a driver to be used with my Macbook Pro...
    Highly doubtful (see next response.)
    ...but HP only offers download to Microsoftprograms,...
    The software is likely for the built-in webcam.  The monitor/screen portion of the w244hc would NOT need drivers unless it had some funky non-standard amount of pixels.  But the monitor is a standard 1920x1200 which the Mac should detect if you're using the HDMI or DVI connector.
    ...My screen behave unstable, waves, and I need to do something. Waht do I do?
    Are you using the VGA connector?  VGA, being an analog signal is more likely to cause the symptoms you describe (compared to the digital signals DVI or HDMI.)  Often reseating the VGA connector can help.  (IOW, push the VGA connector in harder...on BOTH ends of the cable.)  But VGA would also be more susceptable to signal degradation with anything greater than 1600 pixels.  So if you are using the VGA connector, get the appropriate DVI adapter for your Macbook Pro as soon as you can.

  • How do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

    how do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

    Ok.
    I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
    The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
    The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
    I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
    Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
    Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
    Hope I managed to provide enought info.
    Thanks in advance

  • Is there a special inverter to use with my MacBook Pro when traveling in Europe?

    Is there a special inverter to use with my MacBook Pro when traveling in Europe?

    No, it will handle the voltages there:
    From http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs.html
    Electrical and operating requirements:
    Line voltage: 100V to 240V AC
    Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz
    You might need a plug adapter to change the pin shape in some countries.
