Conect a Cinema DVI display on my VGA device

Hello guys,
I have a VGA output in my video board and need to connect the cinema DVI display on it. Is it possible? Is there an adapter or conversor for this purpose? My video board doesnt have VGI output, only VGA...
Help please!!

HELP! - Same problem. CinemaHD (connected via thunderbolt/miniDisplay-adapter to DVI) works but the arrow can't find the target. It seams the calibration is incorrect. I found out that the position of the arrow should be one textline above the target. Than it works. Problem exists in all Monitor-modes. When Montors are synchronized You can see the arrow standing right on the target on Retina-Display while the arrow on cinemaHD is located somewhere else above it.
I can't work this way! Is there a patch? Please help me!

  • G5 wont mount DVI or ADC, only VGA monitors

    I have a g5 that has a dual display DVI/ADC card; It wont show anything on a new Apple Cinema DVI display, but it WILL show up on a VGA monitor with a DVI-VGA adapter.
    I tried the appple cinema display on another mac and it worked fine, then i tried swapping the card with another g5 and the same thing happened, so i think its a software setting on my g5.
    anyone have any idea to get this apple cinema display working?
    g5   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    I am using an ADC 23" Cinema Display with my G5. I had to get an ADC-DVI adapter to connect it to the G5. But it works fine. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics card. Maybe you need an update to your graphics driver. Have you tried the Apple site for a later version? Or the Manufacturer?

  • KVM switch one Cinema hd display (dvi) with macpro (dvi) and macbook pro (mini displayport)

    I want to use a KVM switch to share one display with two computers.
    Computer one is: MacPro 1,1 dual core 2.66 Ghz with two DVI ports.
    Computer two is: MacBook Pro 4 core 2.66 GHz with one Mini Displayport.
    Display is: Cinema HD Display with DVI connector.
    To do that KVM switches only use (at least that is waht I found) one system either DVI or Mini Displayports
    http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3113
    DVI --> KVM SWITCH<-- DVI
                         V
                   DVI (monitor)
    http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-2x1-Mini-DisplayPort-KVM-Switch.html
    Mini Displayport (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                                             V
                                                     DVI (monitor)
    However what I want is:
    DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITHCH<-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                           V
                                  DVI(monitor)
    I couldn't find an existing KVM switcher that does this.
    Then there is the following solution
    DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- ADAPTER (Mini Displayport to DVI) <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                        V
                                DVI(monitor)
    The question is: Will this work?
    I've been told that adapter behind adapter never works. Hope someone can help with this before spending money on nothing.
    Thanx David

    Maybe you're right just try and see if I can return the stuff if it's not working.
    I won't be using a higher resolution then 1920 x 1200 however I still would buy the adapter
    Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng
    for connecting macbookpro to KVM DVI switch.
    However if there's still someone with experiencing the exact same thing I would be much obliged.

  • Extended DVI cable run, 30-inch Cinema HD Displays

    Looking through various sites selling DVI-related gear, I see a number of products for extending the cable length for DVI video signals at up to 1920 x 1200 resolution. We are about to receive an a Quad G5 system with the Quadro FX 4500 driving two 30-inch Cinema HD Displays, with 2560 x 1600 resolution. Is there any product that will extend the default cable length for such a display at its native resolution, even if the added distance is less than that offered for lower-resolution displays?
    TIA,

  • Using the 27" Thunderbolt and Apple 24" Cinema LED displays

    I hope everything is having a good weekend.  I have been trying to find an answer and no avail I am not able to find any solid answer.
    Setup:
    2011 MacBook Pro 15" (MacBookPro8,2 model)
    27" Apple Thunderbolt Display
    Additional Equipment:
    Apple 30" Cinema HD Display
    Apple 24" LED Cinema Display
    Ideally I would like to have all three monitors connected this macbook pro, but I know it may be hard.  At the minimum though I would setting for the 27" and 24" to be the two monitors.  Some time ago, I saw a web posting and a podcast talk about some entity achieving this feat, but it require the Pegasus RAID system.  I have noticed that I cannot directly connect the 24" to the 27" as the result is the 24" has a black screen and the MacBook Pro does not recognize the 24".
    Now I have seen products which offer the monitors to be connected using some third party peripherels:
    Newer Technology USB to DVI/HTML/VGA display adapter (which uses display link)
    Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt +USB to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    Unfortunately the results would mean that my Thunderbolt will not be useful after I connect the 24" since it will not allow any more thunderbolt connections.  That is acceptable, but I will like to hear from anyone who is willing to share their experience.  I cannot find the link to a solution which allow the 24" to be connected to the MacBook Pro thru USB device (siimlar to the display link device).

    It appears that a Thunderbolt accessory: "seagate goflex thunderbolt adapter" solves the problem.   Having the seagate device between the two monitors allows the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display to start working.  The solution may not be right for everyone as the adapter is about $179.99 on Amazon.

  • Can 23" cinema HD Display support Game systems connectivity

    I currently have my display connected to my MacBook but space is a factor at my dorm. Can I use my Apple 23" Cinema HD Display to connect my xbox 360? I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter but i get no picture. i also have a xbox VGA cable if i need to go that route. I figure digital to digital should give me a better picture, the an analog to digital. Can my 23" Cinema HD Display support game system connectivity or these older display were meant for Mac's Only?

    followup question... Does the 23" cinema HD Display support HDCP? Could that be the cause for a blank screen. the power light is solid. I when to Display settings and lower resolution on the monitor, still no picture?

  • DVI-I (Female) to VGA (Male) ?

    [Also posted in All Apple Cinema Displays]
    Hey all,
    I know its probably been asked a thousand times, but after a quick seach I havnt found specifically what I am after.
    I'm trying to hook 2 20" Apple Cinema Displays to a Dual Monitor 2 port KVM switch.
    Trouble is, the monitor input for the KVM switch is VGA only.
    I thought it would be a simple converter for $10-$30 for a DVI-I (Female) to VGA (Male) so i can plug the DVI monitor into a VGA port.
    I did actually get one, but was awarded with a blank screen.
    I have confirmed the KVM works (with dual standard vga screens) and both cinema dislays work (when hooked up directly) so it is defienately the converter that isn't working.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks very much...
    Ben

    You need a DVI KVM switch. The Apple LCDs only accept digital input, so even if you can get the adapters and cables to fit, it won't work with analog VGA.

  • HT1338 How to connect my MacBook Pro to my 23" Cinema HD Display?

    My MacBook Pro has a Thunderbolt port and I have just bought a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to connect to my 23" Cinema HD Display which works fine on my old MacBook Pro.
    However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.
    Any thoughts, please?

    Here you go - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019 - Use Video Mirroring.. if it fails

  • Does Mini Displayport to DVI adapter support analog VGA signal?

    I'm just about to buy a macbook pro. Since the MDP (mini displayport) to DVI and MDP to VGA adapters are £20 a pop, I can only afford to get one. Obviously DVI is better in general, but VGA supports more older hardware, CRTs, and the spare VGA input on one of my displays (where the desktop uses the DVI).
    What I'd like to know is does the MDP to DVI adapter also support the analog VGA signal on certain pins (like most physical desktop DVI ports do)? If it does, since I have about 3 or 4 DVI to VGA adapters lying around, I can get the MDP to DVI adapter and use the DVI to VGA adapters with it if necessary, but if it doesn't I might be better off getting the MDP to VGA...

    No. Unlike DVI, which in the DVI-I configuration has both digital and analog pinouts, DisplayPort (and mini-DisplayPort) are purely digital. Mini-DP to DVI then DVI to VGA will not work. If you look carefully at the Apple Mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, you'll notice it's a DVI-D connector - digital pins only.
    The Apple mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter contains a digital-to-analog converter.
    So, you'll have to choose. If you want VGA, get Apple's mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

  • 24 pin DVI-D to Mini VGA adapter for external monitor

    So I am about to buy a 20" Dell lcd monitor and I found out I need an adapter to the ibooks mini DVI port, can anyone direct me towards a 24 pin DVI-D to mini VGA so I can connect this monitor to my 12" ibook?
    Thank You
    Jeff

    The iBook does not have a mini-DVD port. The iBook has a mini-VGA port.
    The mini-VGA to VGA adapter is the Apple VGA Display Adapter M8639G/A.

  • Will the mini display port to vga adapter work with a 2007 mac book?

    I think your Macbook came with a Mini DVI port instead of a Mini Display port.

  • Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

    Hey everybody,
    I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

    You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
    a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301>
    If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
    It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.

  • Mini Display Port to VGA - S-Video/Composite

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to (essentially to a projector) a splitter than only has inputs for S-Video and Composite. I know the only adapter is the Mini Display port to VGA. Is there a hub that I can run VGA into and output S-Video to the splitter? Will my laptop read this as a second monitor?

    Yes to both questions. With the converter box linked below or something similar, a mini-Displayport to VGA adapter, and an S-video or composite video cable, you should be set to connect directly to a monitor or projector that has no VGA, DVI or HDMI inputs. It will appear as a second monitor. (A projector is just a very tiny flat-screen monitor with a big light bulb behind it and a lens in front.)
    http://www.amazon.com/PC-To-TV-Video-Converter/dp/B001CJOLBW/ref=pdcp_e2
    A word of caution, though: I don't know what effect your splitter may have. And if there are two or more monitors or projectors connected to the splitter, I don't know how that will work out either.
