Can I connect my old Studio Display to my MacPro Tower as a second monitor?

I'd like to hook my old Apple Studio Display (Clear body) to my MacPro tower and use it for my Pallets in PShop. Can anyone tell me the cable(s) I need to convert the studio display to the MacPro monitor port?
Any idea on pricing?

Nevermind. I figured it out. I need the $100.00 adapter.

  • Connect MacBook with Studio Display Monitor (2000)

    I am trying to connect my MacBook with an old Studio Display monitor (made in 2000) that has an ADC 30 Male cord. I have a Mini-DVI to DVI 24 Female Adapter that fits into my laptop. I can't seem to find a DVI 24 Male to ADC 30 Female adapter, which is what appears I need. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Thanks!

  • How can I connect an old macbook pro...

    How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)?  I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all.  I hope someone can help . Thank you.

    Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
    you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
    the first adapter:

    The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

    You will need to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This article will tell you how:

  • Connecting 15" studio display LCD to MacPro

    Do I need the DVI to ADC adapter to connect my "old" 15" Studio Display (LCD) to the MacPro?
    Just bought the MacPro, upgrading from my G4 Powermac circa 2001. No one at the Apple Store mentioned needing an adapter even though I said I had an older display from 6 years ago. I am not happy to say the least. Partly went for the MacPro because I had this display, though small by current standards. Now another $100 I did not expect.
    Any recommendations for displays...at a smaller price? Maybe I should have gone with an iMac....
    Thanks.
    Jen

    No one at the Apple Store mentioned needing an adapter even though I said I had an older display from 6 years ago.
    Unfortunately hardly anyone stops to think that some older Apple displays used the ADC adapter. I bet half of the staff don't even know what an ADC connector is. Anyway, yes you will need the ADC to DVI adapter unless you can already convert your video signal to VGA. In that case you can then use the includes VGA to DVI adapter that was included with your Mac Pro.
    Any recommendations for displays...at a smaller price?
    You can try Dell. They often have specials which results in very cheap displays.
    Maybe I should have gone with an iMac
    My parents just bought iMacs (24" with 2.33GHz upgrades) and while they're very nice they can't come close to the performance of the Mac Pro, especially if you implement RAID 0. So while you might be a bit deflated over this just remember that you did buy a far better performing system.

  • Old Studio Display Adapters?

    Someone just gave me an old Apple Studio Display, the one with the Apple Display Connector cord that carries power and video on one cord. I want to connect it to a Mac Pro circa 2007.
    All of the adapters I've found so far work with machines that have an ADC connector and connect to a DVI display. Does anyone know of an adapter that will do what I need?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I believe the answer is yes. As far as I can tell the resolution of the 23" Apple Display is 1920x1200 pixels and this resolution is supported via the HDMI interface on the current Mac mini.
    HDMI to DVI ---> DVI to ADC ---> ADC to screen
    See Apple Cinema HD Display (23") - Technical Specifications
    Note: The 17" screen was called a Studio Display but the 23" screen was called a Cinema HD Display. This was because
    It was a wide screen display
    It was HD resolution
    If you have the 17" Studio Display then just use a Mini Displayport to DVI adaptor and then connect that to the ADC adapter.

  • Can I connect a Flat Diamondtron Display to a Mac Book Pro

    Hi,
    My laptop screen is too low for me and is causing neck pain. I'd like to connect up a screen at a higher level. I own a 17" Studio Display Natural Flat Diamondtron. Will it connect to the Mac Book Pro (bought in 2007) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo? If so, what cable(s) do I need and where would I get them, please
    Many thanks,
    Fiona.

    Hi Fiona!
    Can you look on the back of the Studio display and find the Apple model number. It should be some like "M7649." Please post it--that can help people come up with more targeted solutions.
    However, I believe your monitor uses the obsolete Apple Display Connector (ADC) technology that makes it expensive to connect to a modern Mac. The problem is that, in addition to the video signal, the ADC monitor must get power and USB through the cable. Your MBP's DVI port cannot provide power, just video.
    The proper adaptor to make your monitor work on an MBP includes a power supply but is discontinued by Apple and was expensive even when new (US$100). It looked like this:
    !http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRElYslCWkweQmelfAP-uFA7sDWHtLEXO02QwlC WmUXfQJILu8&t=1&usg=__pxb-xu6qbc3P852Fa4HK24nwDMw=!
    When you find them, they can be twice as much on the used market.
    The less expensive adaptors (US$20-40) are for the "other way," connecting a modern monitor to an older Mac. They generally look like this:

    and won't work for your needs.
    You can purchase a smaller, no-name FP display new for what the proper adapter could cost, or pick up a cast-off 17- to 19-inch CRT monitor for a few pounds.
    If I've confused the issue, please do post back. It is an area the needs explanation as people with the older ADC monitors are finding the obsolete technology a challenge with modern computers.

  • How do i take apart an old Studio Display?

    So, my girlfriend and I saw this article where someone has taken apart an old Apple Studio Display and turned it into a groovy little cat bed:
    http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/the-mac-apple-studio-display-cat-bed-mod/
    The problem though is that I can't find any instructions online as to how to properly take apart one of these displays, and neither of us really has a clue on how to start or what we're getting into should we decide to do this to our old one that's just taking up space in the basement.
    Anyone have any links to detailed instructions, or feel like offering up any advice? Thanks!

  • How can I connect an old external FDD Model# M0130 ?

    I have an original Macintosh 128k with an external FDD DB-19 connection. Now I have 400k diskettes and I would like to get the files from these diskettes. Is there a way to connect this old External FDD that has an db-19 connection to a Quadra 650 or Powerpc 7600 so that I can get the files from the diskettes.
    Or is there another way to be able to access these 400k diskettes from a Quadra 650 or PowerPc 7600.

    400 KB diskettes are physically readable in any Apple 800 KB or combination 800KB/1.44 MB diskette drive. 400 KB diskettes are double density (2D or 2DD) media, but are written one one side only.
    Support for 400 KB MFS diskettes was removed from the System Software at System 8.0, when HFS+ Extended was first introduced (but not made active until 8.1).
    So you need an older Mac, like your Quadra 650, running Mac OS before Mac OS 8.
    Do not try to fool the drive by using HD media -- the oxide is different, and the data will decay and become unreadable in a matter of a few minutes. Both types of diskettes are still available from the catalogs of major office supply retailers.

  • New Mac Pro Won't Work With Old Studio Display

    Hi,
    Just got a new Mac Pro Desktop 8-core only to find out my old Apple Studio Display 17" won't work without a $100 adapter. We're thinking of just buying a new monitor instead. My question is will other brands now work direclty with the new Macs - or would they also need adapters? Is a DVI port the same as a DVI-D port?
    Thanks for any info...

    Thanks so much for the response, Malcolm, I really appreciate it! My old monitor is an LCD, but what we decided to do is since the adapter we found (and HAD to get from Apple directly) was going to cost $99!! We went and bought a brand new Dell monitor instead for $238 - it's fully compatible with the new Mac, and it's 23" (my old one was a 17") - so all's good!
    Thanks again,
    Jacki

  • Can you connect older 27" LED Display to current iMacs?

    Hi - finding conflicting information via Apple support pages and google and wanted to throw this out to the community for verification.
    My endstate is to run dual 27" LEDs...one being on a current iMac and the other being a first-generation Apple 27" LED.
    Can you connect a first-generation Apple 27" LED display utilizing the min-display port to the current 27" iMac (non 5K) utilizing the Thunderbolt port?  If so - is it a simple Thunderbolt-to-Thunderbolt cable or is there an adapter on the mini-display side required?  Thanks!

    Niel - thanks for your reply.

  • Can I connect a 24" Cinema Display with mini DisplayPort in to HDMI out?

    I have a 24" LED Cinema Display that I want to use with a new 15" Retina MacBook Pro I will soon be purchasing. Using cable adaptors, would it be possible use the new Macbook Pro's HDMI port to connect to this Cinema Display? I understand that this does not work with the newer Thunderbolt displays because Thunderbolt only adapts in one direction, but since this is an older Mini Displayport monitor would it work? My goal is to keep both Thunderbolt ports available for storage I/O untill Apple releases an update to the Thunderbolt display later this or next year. Thanks for your advice!

    Yes, in this scenario, I'd connect the display to one of the Thunderbolt ports and use a USB hub for additional I/O. Here's my current I/O needs:
    1) esata (with port multiplication)
    2) gigabit ethernet
    3) firewire 800
    4) USB keyboard
    5) 3-port USB hub (iOS, bluetooth charger, misc USB2 or 3)
    6) monitor
    My current plan is to use
    1) thunderbolt 1 - display
    2) thunderbolt 2 - firewire 800
    3) USB3 1 - esata
    4) USB3 2 - USB3 hub - gigbit ethernet and all other USB devices
    Does this seem like a resaonable set-up in terms of maxing I/O bandwidth? My main concern is if the USB2 devices on the USB3 hub will throttledown my gigabit ethernet speeds.
    Thanks for your advice!
