Connection between mediabox receiver to the Cinema display via a HDMI

Iwould like to connect a swiss Cablecom mediabox receiver to the Cinema display via a HDMI to MiniDisplayPort converter like the Belkin AV 360. The receiver output is 720p or 1080i. Anyone has successfully utilized this device?

I suspect it won't work due to HDCP. Blame the movie and music industry.

What can I connect to the cinema display´s firewire port?

What do you think of connecting an external hard drive to the cinema display´s firewire port? My other firewire ports on my G5 are already occupied.

The FireWire ports on a Cinema Display can be used with anything that the FireWire ports on a Mac can be used for; they are included because a Mac and external monitor may be set up in a way that prevents the ports on the computer from being easily accessed.

Does the cinema display work with windows

Hi last year i got a new acer laptop and found the screen was much to small for all the windows i work with so i connected it to an external screen that i had just a week ago it stopped working and i was wondering if the cinema display would work with my laptop

Here's some interesting links that might help:

"USB device not recognized." "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." Tungsten E2, Outlook 2007

Hi,
I am running XP SP 2, on a Dell Vostro 1000, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.7 on a Tungsten E2. I have worked though issues relating to synchronization, Outlook 2007, Docs to Go, etc., in the past. Thank you board members!
Once I worked thru all the initial problems, my Tungsten E2 was sync' ing beautifully to my laptop until a few days ago. There have been no changes (I know of) to the configuration, but now I receive "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." On the laptop I sometimes get "USB device not recognized." I am unclear why I get the PC message sometimes and not others.
I have tried the following: (not necc exactly in this order)
Double checked Hot Sync Mgr settings: Local USB (ver. 6.0.1)
Reset the Palm (multiple times)
Rebooted the laptop (multiple times before and after the Palm resets)
Went to Support Libraries including http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=57,E=0000000001060189973,K=9550,Sxi=3,Case=Obj(3695...)
and http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(1409)
Followed the steps in "Start Here" found at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=26057
Moved Backup directory as per a post on this forum
Looked for a deleted a file called "Graffiti_ShortCuts_____________" per a post on this forum
Followed the steps in HotSync troubleshooter guide you can run through located on
http://kb.palm.com
Went into Device Manager - found it shows no yellow ! 's
Followed Device Mgr Troubleshooter - went all the way thru with no solution
Tried all four USB ports - the PC's bell-like tone does not sound when I disconnect or reconnect the Plam's cradle like it does when I conn/disconnect other USB devices -I think that is a clue. ...?
Cleaned the Palm's contacts (and cradle's contacts with a old, dry toothbrush)
Read all the posts under "USB device not recognized."
OK, I'm at a loss, can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance!

Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hello!
Using a cradle with the Tungsten E2? Tried bypassing the cradle and just use the hotsync cable? Tried a different computer yet? Somehow, the PC is having problems getting a signal from the device. I assume you have the laptop charger plugged into the laptop during this? Not going through a docking station or port-replicator.
One crazy thing you can try is unplug the charger from your laptop, remove the battery from the laptop and leave it out for like 10mins and put it back in and reboot the laptop. This should not cause side effects but still contact your OEM to make sure that nothing else is needed after leaving the battery out for extended period of time. Keep me posted.

How to use the cinema display while your Macbook is closed

How do I use the cinema display while my Macbook is closed? Whenever I close the laptop the display shuts off as well. I really don't need them both to be on. That defeats the purpose of the external display. when I am home I want to use the laptop like it is the desktop computer.

I am using a MB Pro and a 23" cinema display. Have a wired USB keyboard and a USB wireless mouse connected through the keyboard. When the MBP is closed and when I restart it, the wireless mouse is frozen and the keyboard does not respond. I have to reopen the MBP, use the trackpad mouse, restart again and hope it will work closed. There doesn't seem to be a consistent way to make it work.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Will the Cinema Display work with an older MacBook Air?

My wife has an older MacBook Air (circa late 2009) with one USB 2.0 port and one Mini Display port. Will the Cinema display work with this model Air?

It looks to me like the cinema display is a DVI connection. If you have a MiniDisplay port to DVI adapter that connected the MBpro to the display then you have everything you need. (plus a DVI cable). The MDP adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port of the MBair.

Is there any chance to use the iMac additionally to the Cinema Display as an external display for the MacBook,

I do have a MacBook 13" connected to the Cinema Display and this works fine. As I do also an old iMac which I do not use any more, is there any chance to use this iMac as an additional monitor next to the Cinema Display. I would be great to have both of them running in parallel and bring the iMac to an use again.

Use a product such as ScreenRecycler.

Question about the Cinema Displays

Hi,
Until now, I've used one LCD display as my monitory for everything - two computers, my gaming consoles, etc.
It's getting too old - and I want to replace it. Getting a Cinema display wouldn't be a problem in terms of using the computers on it, but I was curious:
Is there a possible way I can connect either RCA cables or HD / Digital cables to the display?
Either directly into it, or through an adapter, and so on.
Thanks

If you have no special need for a Cinema display specifically, it would be much simpler and possibly cheaper to get a brand like a Dell that has the multiple input ports, particularly the analog type you are interested in connecting. The Cinema displays are really meant to be driven by DVI only, and have no HDCP support for a direct digital video connection.
I could be wrong about some of this; the fact that these adapters exist indicate that some DVI adaptation may be possible, but I'll have to leave the ultimate answer to someone who's tried it.

How to match the Pantone colors to the Cinema Display...

Hi, I need to match the pantone colors to my cinema display, how to make it...could anyone help.
Thanks!

Thanks for your response--
I looked at this adapter:
http://www.mycableshop.com/sku/ADCHD1506.htm
However, it says this:
"The adapter cable allows any VGA monitors to be connected to the new dual-display G4 system with ADC video interface. The VGA monitor can be used as the primary display, or as a second display on G4 that supports dual-monitor support. Compatible with GeForce 4 MX, GeForce 4 Ti, Radeon 7500, and Radeon 9000 Pro."
My graphics card is a ATI Rage 128 Pro. Will it not work, then?
What is the possibility of adapting the Cinema Display from DVI to ADC?
Thanks!

Switching to the cinema display by closing the macbook air

the nice feature of switching to the cinema display by closing the macbook air and reopening it to use the keyboard with a black (mb air-)screen -e.g.for shortcuts in CS5 or Cad -doesn't work any longer using OS X Lion which is quite annoying. Has anyone found a solution for this problem apart from the 'option with the magnet' ?
this keyboard shortcut puts both displays in hibernation mode
is there a keyboard shortcut which only puts the macbook (air) screen ( under Lion) to sleep ?
if not, this would be a helpful update for everyone using the mac with photoshop or autocad where keyboard shortcuts are constantly needed and handling would be far easier with all windows & task bars on the cinema display only.
Alternatively, has anyone a clue how to put the task bar from the macbook screen to the cinema display ?

I dont know about the putting the screens to sleep, but as far as the task bar goes, when you have both screens running you can go in to display settings and you should see both screens, you can drag the task bar from the air screen to the cinema display.

How i turn off the cinema display?

How i turn off the cinema display?

Unfortunately there is no on off switch.
The best you can do is sleep the display or
unplug it.
I don’t know what unplugging it will do/cause.
You can try it.

Macbook and the Cinema display

Hi,
I'm about to purchase a Cinema display for my Macbook, before doing so I have several questions.
In the Apple store at the Cinema display section there is told that the Apple displays are specially designed for the Mac Pro and Macbook pro's. I wonder if the displays work in the same way with my Macbook. I know that I need a Mini DVI to DVI cable. My question is if there are any disadvantages compared to the pro products. And I wonder if there are any users with experience related to the Macbook and the Cinema display.
regards,
Koen

I have a first gen macbook and a 23" cinema display. I can't compare directly to the pro products but, I am very happy with the display and how it works with my laptop. I get full resolution and a firebox/USB hub. It's pretty sweet. I would tell you that if you are about to buy a display I would hold off for the leopard anouncement, the rumor is apple will replace the current display line up.

Problem: Hotsync error message "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be establisthed."

When I Hotsync Bluetooth connection is successful, then in step 2, "Connecting with the desktop" Hotsync errors out with message "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be establisthed. Please check your setup and try again."
Bluetooth configuration inticates Bluetooth serial port COM Port is set to COM3
Hotsync setup: when I click "Local" tab I get error message "The selected port, COM5, is not available at this time. HotSync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Hotsync setup > "Local" tab > Serial Port dropdown shows only COM4. I cannot change it to anything else.
Note: I can send files to PC using Bluetooth just fine; error only occurs when I Hotsync using Bluetooth connection.
Tried rebooting both laptop and Palm TX. Still can't Hotsync.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro
Post relates to: Palm TX

You are not the only one having this problem. I have REPEATEDLY tried to bluetooth sync with my new toshiba windows 7
Palm 6.2.2 to no avail. I have tried every bluetooth device they suggest and every "fix" or "solution" that has been offered here and in on line chat with a Palm tech. No dice! I even took my computer and all components to a tech. He worked on it for 5 hours. Every once in a while for no apparent reason it will magically sync, but never consistently. Using 32bit on my husband's computer with Vista, and the docking cradle still works so I have my data. A few others have apparently had success with this problem but I think it is an accident that it works for them when it does. Otherwise it would work for everyone. We have read everything we can find and spent literally hours and hours and hours.
I am now in the process of trying to import/export to Outlook and plan to upgrade to another device like iPhone or blackberry that will sync data with Outlook. My Palm TX also has not been able to successfully sync with that although, as I said earlier, it syncs with Palm Desktop. Good luck with your's.

I have a 27" iMac with a 27" Cinema display. If I have Photoshop running on the cinema display, the menu bar is on the iMac. Is there any add on that I can install to make the menu bar follow the open app?

Look at SecondBar gives you a second menubar

Also see DejaMenu
Also see MenuEverywhere (Shareware)
And if you happen to have a Magic Trackpad, the SecondBar author has a very nice BetterTouchTool utility for creating Magic Trackpad gestures. I can not live with out BetterTouchTool on my 27" iMac with 24" external monitor.

My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

If you can find such a thing. I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.

That would depend on this adapter.
