Cinema Display M8149 as a second monitor??

Hello -
GREAT COMMUNITY! I have an older iMac (mid 2006) with a mini DVI input on the back.
I recently acquired an older Cinema Display (product # M8149) that I would LOVE to use
as a second display.
I know (at least I think I do ??) that I need this adapter...
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-M8661LL-Display-Adapter-4038234011420/dp/B00011KHT2
Correct?? If so, I'm also sure I need an additional adapter to connect to it, to them be able
to connect it to this older iMac with the mini DVI input (I sound like a fool!!). Please correct
me if I'm wrong...
So, my question is...can someone point me to the CORRECT adapter I need at the end
of this chain?
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance, and PLEASE continue the GREAT support guys.

I have a Cinema Display M8149. Will this work with the Mac mini?

I have the first generation of Cinema Display M8149 and it is still working beautifully! I need to upgrade now my first gen G4 and I am wondering if I buy a mini will the display work with it? If yes, do I need to buy the newest mini or could I buy a used or refurbished older mini and have the monitor still work. What adapter would I need? Thank you!

says the M8149 has the ACD connector (Apple Display Connector)
The ACD looks like:

Linking display to mirror on second monitor

I have a new Macbook Pro.
I give talks and want to use another larger LCD monitor on a stand to display the images of my talk.
I did this with my previous Sony laptop but I am not having success with the Macbk.
I have an Apple adapter to connect the laptop to the monitor and it displays the screensaver which is showing on the laptop.
It does not show the desktop nor anything else.
How do I get the monitor to show the same as the laptop?
Cheers and thanks.

Many thanks that worked.
I,ve written it down so I don't forget.

Displaying Library on a second monitor.

I precisely followed all detailed instructions for this feature. Both monitors display identical information. Can't get it to work as described. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

The dual display feature does work, but what you have does not sound like a dual dispaly setup.
You have to get the operating system to display two different monitors; if you set it so that they are basically copies of the same one monitor, LR will not override that. First setup your OS to see two different displays, then LR will see them as well.
One way to test it is you should only have one mouse pointer; you should be able to move the mouse from one monitor to the other. If you have two mouse pointers, you have only one display setup for both monitors.
Are you running mac or windows?
Cheers!

Connecting a 20" Cinema Display (Aluminium) to a iMac 27" with????

Hello,
according to www.apple.com the Mini DisplayPort/Dual-Link DVI Adaptor is only compatible with MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air equipped with a Mini DisplayPort...
I would like to link my iMac with this beautiful monitor I had hooked to my 1st generation Mac Book Pro... is there a way to do it? I was thinking to buy the Mini DisplayPort/Dual-Link DVI Adaptor, but I HAVE to be sure about its compatibility with the iMac, since it's quite expensive...
Any other solutions?
Best Regards
Stefano

I just purchased the new iMAC 27' Quad Core i5 and I wonder if I can attach a Apple Cinema Display 24' as a second monitor?

IMac 24 and 27 Cinema Display as second monitor

Got older 24 iMac with mini DVI output for external monitor (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB graphics)
Bought 27 Cinema display to use as 2nd monitor.
Bought Atlona DP400 to convert signal.
Connected everything and only resolution I get on 27 Cinema display is 1280 x 720, which is frustrating.
Is there any way to set higher resolution for external monitor? Scaled shows only 800 x 600 and 1280 x 720 (as best for display)
Thank you for help!

If you mean those older Cinema Displays with the Apple Display Connector (ADC), then you need a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter and the DVI to ADC convertor sold by Apple or others (expensive). I bought Apple's DVI to ADC box last year and use it to add the 23" Cinema Display HD to a Powerbook G4. Works great.
I haven't bought a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter/cable to use the ADC display off my iMac, because I don't have the desk space for two large monitors and two large printers.

20" Cinema display as 2nd monitor??

Will the 20" Apple Cinema display make a good 2nd monitor for my 20" (non-AL) iMac?

It should work perfectly. All you need is the miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and a DVI-D cable.

Photoshop window does not display unless connected to external monitor

I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.
Is this a known issue?
Any workarounds?
Any ideas?
There is a previous discussion on this topic from January 2012, but it remains open and unanswered. Hoping there are some new ideas. Thanks for the help.

The MacOS still thinks the second display is available and valid -- so Photoshop puts the documents on the last used display and the OS doesn't give any errors.
Once the OS notices the change in display configuration, Photoshop should go back to the main display and force images and dialogs back to the main display.
Applications rely on the OS for the display configuration, and sometimes the OS gets confused or holds onto outdated configurations a bit too long...

2nd Apple Cinema Display calibration!

i owned one 23" Apple Cinema Display before purchasing a second used 23" Display a year later, to create a dual display editing suite.
While setting up the second monitor i selected the same profile as my first monitor, but noticed that the second monitor was more yellow. i tried calibrating the monitor the get the two to match, this was not successful!
Can anybody help?

I have a 23" iMac and a 24" Cinema Display, both purchased at the same time, and the colors are not the same. I have calibrated both with a Spyder Pro system and with the Apple software but still get very different hues on the some photo showing on both screens.

Cinema display goes black upon resolution change in Windows XP

Greetings
Earlier today, I updated my ATI X1600 Radeon to the latest Windows Catalyst drivers and to the Catalyst Control Center from ATI. Even since, whenever a Windows application (games, in this case) tries to change the resolution on my external Apple Cinema Display (designated as the main monitor in the ATI Catalyst Control Center, with the MacBook Pro display disabled), the display goes black, and the monitor power lamp starts to flash.
If I unplug the external Cinema Display from my MacBook Pro, my MacBook Pro display activates, and displays whatever it is I was trying to launch, so the problems is somehow related to the Cinema Display, even if the new drivers are causing it.
This happens regardless of my Catalyst Control Center settings, such as scaling the lower resolution to fit the screen, or keeping it the original size, with black borders around. The problem does not occur when I launch games using 1600 x 1024, the Cinema Display's native resolution.
Any ideas what might be causing it, and how to resolve it?

Update on my situation: when I tried to change the resolution manually in Windows, I encountered the same problem. Now, whenever I connect the Cinema Display to my MacBook Pro, the same thing occurs: the screen goes black, and the power lamp starts flashing, even though I've changed back to 1600 x 1024.

VMware Fusion and Apple LED Cinema Display

I have a 2008 MBP and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. My OS is 10.7.2.
I am running Windows 7 with the latest updates in VMWare Fusion 4.1.1. I have several issues.
1) When I go to chose my monitor it say Apple LED Cinema Display but "Generic Non-PnP Monitor." I downloaded and installed the boot camp drivers as I understood those contained the drivers for the monitor, but that didn't seem to help. Do I need to have the Boot Camp drivers?
2) When I try to access the Boot Camp Control panel in Windows 7 in Fusion I get "An error occured while tyring to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk." My guess is this is because the Boot Camp drivers are only needed if you actualy run Boot Camp.
3) In Windows I cannot choose the native resolution of the Apple display (2560 x 1440).
4) The resolution ia 1277 x 1234. That is weird.
5) If I minimze the Fusion window and then immediately open it, it looks fine. But if I wait for awhile and open it, the window will be black until I click inside of it.
Something is wrong, Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Bryan

you have to separate out what is Fusion and what is Windows native.
Even doing updates to Windows sometimes should not or cannot be done properly in VM.
And there is no way to change the default boot drive - a VM doesn't have access and that is the host OS's job, not the guest's.
Install the latest AMD driver for mobility - and dont' use the "auto detect" - that is not going to work on Apple hardware.
You dont' run Boot Camp. But the Apple drivers and serives needed for hardware support, yes, they aren't running or loaded.

Using Cinema Display - Please Help

Hi All,
I have been working with my new 15" MBP and loving it, not one problem to report! I will be traveling with the MBP and when I come home, I would like to use this computer with my cinema display and apple wireless keyboard and all of my other home office stuff. Can you please tell me the correct way to use my cinema display with the MBP, I have never owned a laptop before - but this MBP is clearly better than my old G4 Powermac and I would like to keep everything on my new MBP rather than using two computers anyway.
Also, is there an extension cable available for the cinema display to run from the monitor to the MBP?
Thanks!

It would be nice if you could be a little more specific with your request. The only correct way to use a display is to plug the DVI cable into the MBP. There should be something in display in your system prefs that will give you the option to mirror you laptop on an external display. Once you do that everything else should just work (assuming you plug it all in). When you say an extension cable you mean just for the video portion, right? Not any usb/firewire ports? If it is just DVI take a look here. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812712028
that is a 10 foot dual link DVI cable. It will support through a 30" display so that should be a great cable. I hope this helped.

Is there a way to connect iPad2 to my previous gen DVI Cinema Display?

I have an iPad2 and I have looking for ways to use my previous generation Cinema Display (DVI) as an external monitor, but it looks like VGA-out and HDMI-out are the only options. Has anyone managed to connect iPad through DVI connection?

Search for HDMI to DVI adapters. There are many. DVI-D or DVI-I is backwardly compatible with HDMI video but not DVI-A. DVI will not carry audio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Compatibility_with_DVI

Using the MacPro with the LED cinema display

When using the MacPro with a LED cinema display (or any other external monitor in fact), is it possible to make it so that the main display (the screen showing the dock and menu at the top) is assigned to the external monitor?

Hello.
Yes, you should be able to do this through +System Preferences>Displays+.
Just click and drag the menu/dock (from within System Preferences) to the display you require.
Best
