Cinema Display 23 aluminum and Windows 7 64

I have an Apple Cinema Display on an Alienware Auora i7 980x running Windows 7 64. I have an nVidia Quadro 4000. In the nVidia Control panel the monitor shows, but not in device manager. One of my monitors shows up in Device Manager, but not in the nVidia control panel. I tried installing the WinACD version 0.4.6 but get the mesage that the "installation was interupted"
I have two Dell monitors that show up in Device Manager, but one is missing from the nVidia control panel. Although the Apple Cinema Display does show up in the nVidia Control Panel, it is not sown in Device Manager
I have contacted nVidia, but was hoping to find out if there is a driver for the Apple Cinema Display.
Any ideas?

Hello again,
After speaking to an Apple Genius, it seems the solution was to update the firmware for the Cinema Display. Since I have done this, the monitor appears to behave better.

3 Monitors with 1 iMac and 2 Cinema Displays conected to Windows Gaming PC Help!

Hi
I want to set up a 3 monitor gaming set up with 1 iMac in the middle and 2 cinema displays either side. This would be a tripple monitor set up.
I am looking to set up a new computer and i want to have 3 monitors. I also want to have an iMac so i want the iMac in the middle and two cinima displays next to each other. i Want to also conect these monitors with a Windows 7 gaming PC.
I want to hook up my very powerfull windows 7 gaming computer wich has 3 SLI GTX 560 EVGA cards. These cards have a display port output.
So i want to run 3 monitors from my gaming machine and i also want to have my iMac use the 3 monitors aswell. I also want to take advantage of the full, maximum resolution. I would get the thunderbolt cinema display monitors.
Gaming comupter has 3 display ports so i need to connect each graphics card to one of the monitors. I then need to conect the two cinema displays to the middle iMac.
I have not bought anything yet i just need to know if i can do this. Need to know stuff like what adapers to buy and what compatabilties.
I need to know if this is posible and how i would do it.
Thanks

Could i use some of these cables?
It says they are thunderbolt conpatable.

Can I run my 23" Cinema Display from a Windows PC? What adapters would I need and graphics card if any?

I need to buy a Windows PC Notebook and want to make sure there are adapters or if necessary video cards for it to run my 23" Apple Cinema Display.
(I'd prefer not having to get a separate monitor for the pc windows only jobs).
If anyone else does this, how does it work out for you? Any tips?

OOPs all. I looked at the other posts and see my answer.
Thanks anyway.

Macbook Air - using Cinema Display usb and firewire?

Hello,
This is the first post for me, however the answer will determine whether I make the jump for an air.
Will the usb hub on the cinema displays work with the macbook air dvi output connector. (essential for me to purchase) would firewire work (bonus if it does)
Unfortunately I have to have ethernet connection because of the setup in my office, and some of the software I use has usb hardware dongles. The ethernet adapter is fine but I also need usb.
When I am on the go the single usb will suffice.
Any advice would be really appreciated.

USB hub works fine on my 23 Cinema display with the Air, haven't tried the others but I use the USB on display to plug in my mobile broadband ( live out in the sticks and don't get cable or DSL ) and it lets me switch between my Air and MB Pro fine.

23" cinema Display flickers and goes to black

Hey all,
I am running two 23" cinema displays and one of them is flickering and going to black. Here is a video of it.
http://larskoerkemeier.com/MVI_0972.MOV
The curved bands arent there thats just from the filming but what happens is the entire image shifts up very quickly and what you see flash on the bottom is actually the top. It repeats this a couple times and then turns off and then it repeats and after a couple times the display just stays off.
System:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Memory: 6 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Thanks,
-Lars

Hi-
Try switching the power adapters to see if the problem moves to the other display.
Of course, reconnecting/double checking all connections is a good idea.
Other than that, any references in Console/Logs regarding graphics driver errors?

Cinema Display 30" and MBP - No Picture

I have a 2.16 Core Duo Macbook Pro 17". Today I purchased a 30" Cinema Display at the Apple store.
Because of issues I had heard about I had the Apple employees help me open the box and plug in the monitor to a Macbook Pro on the floor to check for dead and hot pixels and other screen problems. None found. I was so psyched!
I get it home and set it up. I run the DVI cable over to my Macbook Pro and nothing... The MBP screen goes blue and then refreshes when the monitor is attached or detached like it detects it, but under system profiler it never registers an additional display (and I did refresh the info). The soft power button on the Cinema Display triggers my computer to give me the shut down/sleep dialog so something is registering.
Basically everything works on the display but the picture. I just get a black screen. I hooked up my wife's G4 1.67 and it drives the screen just fine with a picture.
Any thoughts?

I have owned a MacBook Pro (15" / 2.16GHz / 2GB) and 30" Cinema HD Display since September 2006.
The display's DVI, USB, and FireWire cables are all connected to the MacBook Pro. A keyboard (with mouse) and iPod dock are connected to the display's USB ports, and two LaCie D2 drives are connected to the display's FireWire ports.
The display has remained blank at start-up on two occasions, both since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5, though that may be coincidental. In any event, unplugging the display's USB cable from the MacBook Pro had the effect of waking the display; plugging the display's USB cable back into the MacBook Pro put the display to sleep.
Try disconnecting the USB and FireWire cables from the MacBook Pro and unplugging any peripherals attached to the display. I found that everything worked fine when reconnected.

24" Cinema Display flickering and eventually going dark

I am having a repeat of a problem with my Apple 24" Cinema Display. The symptoms are the display will go black and come back on (flicker) and sometimes it takes a few seconds for it to come back. All USB devices connected to the Cinema Display become disconnected from my MacBook Pro when this happens.
Last time this happened it started slowly and as time passed it happened more frequently. When I brought it into the store they were able to reproduce the problem immediately. They replaced the logic board in the monitor.
I contacted support again. The display is still under warrantee. They scheduled an appointment for me to bring the display in. I am seeing the same behavior where the frequency of this problem increases as time passes.
I am concerned they will be unable to quickly reproduce the problem again and not fix it, or fix it and the problem will come back again in a few months. I am afraid that I will still be having this problem after the warrantee expires.
I've purchased many displays over the years (including Apple) and this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I think I may have had a lemon.
I originally posted in these now archived threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12175983#12175983
and
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12311032#12311032

Just a quick update. I brought the display into my local Apple store. After they reviewed the records from the previous repair and my description of the problem they believe it could be a power supply problem inside the monitor. The power supply may have caused the logic board to go bad. Replacing the logic board last time fixed the problem but the bad power supply ended up causing the problem to return.
I let them know that I was concerned that this is a reoccurring problem and my warrantee expires in July. I don't want to see this problem come back after the warrantee expires.
I'm not sure what they will do if that happens. I hope this problem gets fixed this time around.

27" LED Cinema Display – noise and buzz

Hello,
I recently purchased a second hand 27" Apple LED Cinema Display, and I now started to have some issues.
The first issue started today, it is some kind of buzz that comes out of the right speaker whenever I lower the brightness of the screen. I have about the opposite happening for other people – whenever the brightness would be above 3/4, a buzz sound would come up. For me it's when the brightness is below 1/4. The lower the brightness, so higher the pitch of the buzz. How weird is that?
The second issue is that, whenever a sound is played, some kind of white noise starts coming from I believe both speakers of the display. Even if I just adjust the volume on the keyboard (which makes a sound as well), this white noise would come up. It would last around 15-30 seconds, and then it would disappear. If headphones are connected to the Mac Pro, it doesn't happen (and it can't be heard in the headphones either). I once hooked up the Mac Pro to a Panasonic TV to test, and there was no buzz coming from the TV either.
Now I just noticed that the white noise is constantly here since the buzz appeared today (when I lower the brightness). Something is failing here I believe. It could also be the graphics card I guess?
Sometimes I get a very quick weird flash on the screen (black & white stripes I believe) for half a second, then they're gone. It's quite rare so it's hard to troubleshoot. Maybe it has to do with the Cinema Display as well. Or perhaps it is my graphics card (It's a Sapphire HD 7950 3 GB – the Cinema Display is connected with Mini DisplayPort). Or it might just be bad drivers for this card – they were never that good apparently.
Perhaps someone knows more than I do
All helps is appreciated…
Cheers!

27 LED Cinema Display Audio and Brightness when powering MacBook Pro

When my 27 LED Cinema Display is powering my (or another) 2009 13" MacBook Pro, I have experienced three issues:
1. The dropped audio problem other users have mentioned. Shutdown, then disconnect power/usb/displayport, then wait ~15s, then reconnect and reboot temporarily fixes the problem.
2. I also have the sluggish keyboard behavior when adjusting the volume that others have mentioned.
3. I have experienced shifts in display brightness which are obvious when the display is dimmed. I have disabled the ambient light sensor as well as any interfering power management or energy saver settings. Opening apps, scrolling and other normal activities seem to aggravate this behavior.
This last strange behavior inspired me to try using a power adapter for the MacBook Pro instead of display's laptop power connector. *Doing so seems to have resolved all three issues.*
It seems that this may indicate an underlying problem with the display's power supply. Can anyone confirm?

I am having the same issues & with a 1 day old display. I am using a 15" MBP. The screen is killing me when it dims down when no lights are on. I didn't notice the issue when the screen is brighter with the lights on. Anyone know if this is a hardware or software issue? I'd like to utilize the ambient light sensor but not if its going to make my screen flicker when it is dim....
(1) I have never had any deaths associated with my screen, but on rare occasions my display's brightness will flicker when I manually adjust the brightness. The fix I have found for this is to increase the brightness one more setting or decrease it one more setting. Changing the screen from full dim to full bright and then setting the brightness I want sometimes helps, too.
(2) You can check whether this software update has been applied to your 27-inch:

Mpower max 780 lightning UEFI not displayed right and windows 8.1 no DVI-input

Hi all,
I’m new to the forum, I’m very sorry that my first post is the posting of a problem.
I’ve read several treads just to be sure I’m not asking the same question twice.
In this case I have 2 problems, both are problems more users have issues with but not as a combination of both, that’s why I posted it.
I’ll start with my rig:
Intel i7 4770K
MSI Z87 Mpower Max
MSI Geforce GTX 780 lightning
Crucial Ballistix tactical BLT2C8G3D1608ET3LX0CEU
Crucial 2.5" M500 480GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14
Seasonic Platinum Series 860 Watt
Asus VG248QE monitor
The problems
After installing my rig myself I stated it up and everything worked fine.
Installed windows 8.1
Installed a few games (I couldn’t wait to try it out)
Then after shutting down and starting up de the next day the problems started
The bios screen wasn’t displayed right:
- Resolution isn’t correct
- Getting art-effects when trying to adjust a setting in the bios
- When saving, bios is stopt working with an error message that the bin file is incorrect
so setting up the bios is a big problem
The second issue is that when I let it go and load windows 8.1:
- It shows the partially BIOS image (big yellow M)
- Then the windows logo with the loading circle
- Followed by a black screen and my monitor telling me that there is no DVI signal
What I’ve done so far:
A windows 8.1 repair (so everything whipped) “fresh” install on my SSD then again install of the Nvidea driver.
This worked for a hours of gaming funn, with 3 or 4 reboots of the system (so I thought problem fixed).
Sadly not, I began to check the forums and found that I needed to run W8.1 in safemode to clear the Nvidea drivers en again install the latest version along with the Intel VGA drivers.
I’ve tried that but no luck on that one.
And yes I’ve tried to clear CMOS (several times)
I’ve tried to flash the BIOS but I can’t select my USB drive when I press F11 (so I’ll be trying another USB stick soon)
Getting the bootsequence to boot from USB isn’t an option also because of the bios screen issue.
Does anyone have the same issues, or even better does anyone have a solution to all my troubles?
Thanx,
Quasi

Ok it is in legacy mode then. Waiting for your report. If it comes up on the igpu also check the bios version. Would be better than guessing.
Oke tested the HDMI cable, after starting up finally i got a normal BIOS view again.
BIOS Version E7815IMS V1.2 (so it's 1.2 instead of 1.0) so much for guessing...
As expected windows started normally in high resolution.
So i think the problem is that the MB bios doesn't work wel with the videocard or the videocard is DOA.
any thoughts for the next step?

Using an Apple 23" HD Cinema Display with a Windows PC

Hi there!
First off, apologies for what is very likely to be a duplicate thread. I have been trying to find some answers to my questions and have not succeeded thus far.
I have a 23" HD ACD that works fine with my mac mini, however I have just purchased a PC box, which I intend to use the display with also. The PC has a PNY Technologies Vecta nVidia 6800 GT (256Mb) in it, with single-link DVI out.
Upon setting up the machine to install Windows, the display remains blank. Reading up on the interweb seems to indicate that the display in incapable of showing the boot information on startup. I have used a vga display to install the OS, but I haven't had a chance to test the Apple display yet to see if it makes it into Windows and shows anything.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem, and is there a satisfactory solution?
Many thanks for reading,
warmest regards,
Kevan

Thanks Karl, I had already found that link. Unfortunately, and unlike all of the posters on that forum, my display doesn't appear to show anything at all, even after booting into Windows XP. There is a possibility that this all needs to be set up before attaching the ACD, but I do not have another display I can use to install the latest drivers. My video card seems to meet all of the requirements necessary for running the display, but all I get is that interesting black-on-black colour scheme.
The display really is a stunning piece of engineering, but I have to say that I am very disappointed with my purchase. I may have to sell the display so that I may have a useable display device that works across both platforms.
Hmpf. Dell, here I come...
