CONNECTED TO LEAVE MY MACBOOK LED CINEMA DISPLAY

HELLO FRIENDS MY QUESTION IS: IS SUITABLE LEAVE MY MACBOOK CONNECTED TO LED CINEMA DISPLAY ALL THE TIME OR MORE AND CONNECTING TO COMPLETE THE CHARGING THE BATTERY.
TKS

Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate.  Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it.  So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug.  They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

  • Macbook pro screen blinks after connecting it to LED Cinema Display

    Hello, just bought a 27 LED Cinema Display to connect my macbook pro 17 (early 2009).
    Everything fine until today. After disconnecting my laptop to the display the screen of laptop blinks.
    Never had this problem.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Ignacio

    ...but I need to be sure that my macbook will not stop working if I leave the problem with the screen blinks.
    Of course you do — we all need to be sure our machines will keep working properly. Unfortunately, there's never any certainty about that, even if one's machine is working perfectly right now. But if it's any consolation, I've seen nothing posted in these forums to indicate that the blinks commonly foreshadow anything worse, so I think you can be reasonably confident that your machine isn't at the start of a predictable course of deterioration.

  • How to connect multiple Apple LED Cinema Displays to MacBook Pro

    I have an Apple 24 inch LED Cinema display that I run from my MB Pro. I mainly use the MB Pro+ screen for document editing.
    I would like to run a second Apple 24 inch Cinema display from the MB Pro. I am presently running another monitor successfully via a Dynalink USB splitter but would really prefer to run a second Apple monitor. I have enquired at two Apple Stores and browsed lots of sites. Multiple monitors from MB Pro seems ok (as long as it's not two Apple monitors). I would be surprised if Apple is content to pass up the opportunity to sell more of these superb screens.
    Grateful for any advice and suggestions

    In addition to the one from Atlona, there are:

  • 24" LED Cinema Display with my MacBook (2008)

    I would be so grateful for some assistance and advice ....
    Today I received my new 24" LED Cinema Display ... unfortunately, it did not come with any written instructions or directions. I tried to hook it up to my MacBook using the USB connection, but this did nothing to power up the monitor.
    I called Apple Support, who advised me that I needed an adapter for a "mini display port" and a "mini dvi". But when I went to the Apple store, I was told that no such adapter existed. The guy at the Apple store said that the new monitors are not compatible with my Macbook ....... but how can this be, when the Cinema Display system requirements list "MacBook" ......?
    Is this really true, that I have no recourse? Please someone help me if you can. It would break my heart to pack up this beautiful monitor and send it away.

    Click here for a converter. The USB and FireWire ports on the display are there so the display can act as a hub; neither video nor sufficient power is transferred through them.

  • Macbook Air, Firewire and LED Cinema display

    Hello,
    I want to connect my Saffire Pro 40 (firewire) to my Macbook Air (thunderbolt), but i am unsure
    what to do.
    I could connect the newly released firewire thunderbolt adapter to the macbook air, but then i
    wouldn't be able to connect my LED Cinema Display as the only is one Mini-display port.
    Anyone has any tips?
    Best regards...Jan

    No cheap solution here. The Thunderbolt Display is what you need.
    The Matrox DS1 Thunderbolt docking station is missing the Firewire Port.

  • New MacBook Pro & 27" Apple LED Cinema Display Don't Go to Sleep

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
    Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
    PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

    Is your 2.6 the CTO upgrade from the high end 2.3 15"?
    Yes, both will work under OSX and Windows. One note, when you boot Windows, you need to unplug the USB from the LED Cinema display or Windows will not boot. Once booted, then plug the USB back in to regain brightness, etc controls.

  • How to connect a new 27" LED Cinema Display to an older Mac Mini?

    I bought a 27" LED Cinema Display (no Thunderbolt) but don't know how to connect it to my wife's older Mac Mini. I presume the Atlona adaptor is the solution, but I haven't bougt one yet.

    The cord attached to the display splits into a Mini DisplayPort, USB, and a MagSafe connector (for powering a laptop).
    There is a separate connector on the back of the display for the AC power cord.

  • I need to connect my LED cinema display to nvidia quadro 4000 graphics card

    I cant find any adapter to connect my "LED cinema display" to the brand new graphics card "nvidia quadro 4000 (for Mac pro)"
    As i coldnt find any information since now, ihope someone can give me a hint.

    They included the wrong DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter.  The correct adapter should have a female Mini DisplayPort connector, not male.  You could buy the correct adapter or you could add a F-F Mini DisplayPort coupler

    Try calling the, and asking for the correct adapter.  They fo say:
    "Connect to mini-DisplayPort displays through the included adapter cable"

    Just plug it into the Thunderbolt port. That port directly supports mini-DisplayPort screens.

  • Macbook Pro to LED Cinema Display

    I just received a LED Cinema Display for Christmas, however my macbook pro doesn't have a mini display port which cable would i need to by as an adapter to attach my macbook prop to the mini display port cable.

    Unfortunately, it's an expensive converter box that you need. There's at least two on the market that I am aware of.

  • X200s + Ultrabase (DisplayPort) to connect to Apples' LED Cinema Display (mini DisplayPort)?

    I'm considering purchasing Apple's LED Cinema Display which has only one connection, mini DisplayPort. I have an X200s and the Ultrabase with the DisplayPort.
    Has anyone got this combination working? 
    Getting a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort connection isn't easy from what I can tell but I've spoken to Circuit Assembly and they have a product that will provide the necessary connection (http://estore.circuitassembly.com/products/Mini-Displayport-Female-to-Displayport-Male-Adapter-Cable...) but can't be sure it will work as they don't have Apple's display on hand.
    Any information on whether anyone has had this or a similar setup working would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!
