Connecting 20' Cinema Display to POwer Mac G4

What adaptor do I need to connect an Apple 20' Cinema Display with a DVI connection to a G4 box with ADC and VGA connectors please?

Hi-
Is that digital or analog?
Seems 1440x900 may not be a supported resolution.
Here are some examples of the resolutions that the Geforce supports:

Is the Geforce fully updated?

Please, will someone tell me exactly what card I need to get to use my new display?
The employees at the Apple store are completely unhelpful.

do you know if this machine is equipped with and AGP graphics buss or PCI-express? if the machine is form 2005 or later, it is likely PCI-e... before, then AGP.
this is what i found on on-line stores right now... looks like AGP options are becoming more rare.
for PCI-e:

Re: 30-inch Cinema Display on Power Mac G5

I made the mistake of not realizing my G5 (duo, 2.5GHz) doesn't have a pci-e
slot....am replacing an AVI Radeon 9800 agp card....to get the better resolution. Ordered the AVI 1900xt which requires the pci express slot.
Ok, so now have it narrowed down to:
Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition RoHS 256 MB AGP
Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition
Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition
All 3 give resolution 2560 X 1600 resolution (not as good as the pci express card)
Anyone know the difference between these cards? Can't see it on ATI's site.
Am doing photo/video editing. Also want to use Final Cut Pro, so which is also best for that (support 2 moniters)

No, they don't (at least, not on the DVI port).
Anyone know the difference between these cards?
Can't see it on ATI's site.
On difference is the number of 30" displays they will run at full resolution.
The 9600 and X800 will run one, the 9800 will run zero. The 30" display needs dual-link DVI to run at full resolution. The 9800 only has single-link. The 9600 has one dual-link, and one single link DVI. The X800 has one dual link DVD and one ADC port (which can be used as single-link DVI with an adapter).
Another difference is speed. The X800 is a lot faster than the 9600.
Another difference is noise. The 9600 has no fan. The X800 has a small, fast, noisy fan. But don't worry. That fan will soon quit, so you can replace it with a quieter cooling kit.
You may be able to find some other dual-link cards. The AGP cards Apple sold that have dual-link DVI ports are:
ATI Radeon 9650 XT (one single-link, one dual-link DVI)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL (two dual-link DVI)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL (two dual-link DVI)
Apple doesn't sell these as retail items, but might sell them as replacement parts, or you could look for them used. Be sure to get Mac versions.

HT4614 how do I connect a mac cinema display to a mac mini

Is it possible to connect both an Apple 30" HD cinema display and an Apple 23" cinema display to a Mac Mini and use both as dual monitors?

Yes with the current Mac Mini. Connect the 23" to the Mac Mini's HDMI port with the HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the Mac Mini.
If the 23" display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter.

Connect the 30" display to the Thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort to DUAL-LINK DVI adapter.

Using 2005 30" Cinema display with new mac pro

I will order a new MacPro to replace my Mac Pro 1.1 immediately upon release. I also have a 30" Cinema Display version 2005. It's interface with the existing Mac Pro is three cable hookup: DVI, USB and Firewire 400. By connecting the Cinema display using a bunch of adaptors, can I make the display work with the new MacPro until a good 4K display is out there? Alternatively, I'll have to buy a new display from current technology or the few 4k's available today.
Thanks for your help.

yes, use a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter plugged into the ThunderBolt port. The HDMI port has limited resolutions, not including 1560 by 1600 best for 30" cinema display.

How to connect a Cinema Display to alternative input?

I want to upgrade my Mac Pro (2009) to a reasonably priced graphics card but there are very few that have a Mini Displayport input.
How do I connect a Cinema display with only a Mini DP to an HDMI, Displayport or DVI input? (and still use the sound)
I've looked for Mini DP(female) adapters and can't find any.

I'm unsure of the issue, the Mini has both mDP and HDMI outputs, right? If so, the mDP for the Cinema Display an a HDMI to VGA adapter for the 2nd monitor.

Connecting DVI Cinema Display and VGA Projector from Minidisplay Port

Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to get my mid 2011 Mac Mini to send a signal from my MiniDisplay Port to a vga splitter which works fine. My biggest thing is that when I connect my inFocus IN112 VGA Projector the screen shows up from my mac but to connect my Cinema Display it takes VGA so I had to go from the VGA Splitter on one side and use a vga to dvi adapter and my cinema display shows blank? Help Me Please!!
Thanks,
Andrew

I already have a converter on the end of the VGA Splitter to go to the Cinema. The reason I don't use the hdmi to dvi is because with the minidisplay port using vga to the projector and the hdmi going to dvi to the Cinema it makes the projector screen very rough and pixely

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button. Worked fine before Lion update. Any Advice?

Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine.
Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway.
Oh well...
Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out. Thanks very much for responding!!!

HT1825 Can I connect post cinema displays to my G4 and how?

Can I connect post cinema displays to my G4 and how?

You can use newer monitors but there are different ways to connect.
It all depends on the video card installed in your computer. Different model cards had different ports. My G4 MDD has the ATI Radeon 9000 with one ADC port (abandoned technology) and one DVI port (useful technology). So we need to either see the description of your graphics card from System Profiler >Graphics/displays, a photo of the ports on your card, or both.
As long as you find a monitor that shares the kind of ports on your Mac, you will be fine. I have a 2008-vintage LCD monitor on that circa 2003 MDD of mine. The MDD shipped with an Apple DVI-to-VGA adaptor so I can connect any monitor with DVI or VGA ports.
There is an inconsistency in your equipment profile: No PowerMac can run OS 10.6. Please do "About this Mac" and verify your processor type and Mac OS version. Then you can edit your profile to avoid future confusion.

Where i can get replacement for my cinema display 65W power adapter?

Hi, who can tell me where i can get replacement for my cinema display 65W power adapter?

If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

They are also available on eBay.

How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

Hello,
I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)
