Do I need a converter to connect G5 to 20" CInema Display (both old)?

Hi. We moved from New York back to Buenos Aires three years ago. We brought our Power G5 and Cinema Display (I forgot what year we bought them but it must have been around 2006). There are no Apple Stores here and little support.
Both the computer and the display have been in their boxes for three years and I seem to have forgotten how to connect them properly. The computer turns on normally, but not the display. So it´s either broken (which I doubt) or there is a step I´m not taking.
The display has a cable with three different connectors. No power cord. 
My question is if maybe there is an adapter/converter I need. Maybe I had it before and misplaced it somewhere. Any idea?
Thank you for your help,
Martin

  • How to connect 3x mini-displayport cinema displays to Mac pro

    I'm looking for recommendations on how to connect 3  27" Apple cinema displays to a new Mac Pro (single card).
    2 connect direct to the mini-displayports; but which adapter converts DVI-D to mini-displayport (not mini-displayport to DVI-D)?
    Any suggestions/recommendations with a link would be appreciated.

  • How to connect Macbook to 23" Cinema Display

    I just bought a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter to connect my Macbook to my Cinema Display 23", but I am realizing this adapter is probably not what I need as the Cinema HD Display has a different, larger connector that doesn't match the other end of my adaptor. I was wondering if someone could help me understand which cables to buy.
    Thank you!

    Your 23" Cinema has a DVI-connector, so the adapter you're looking for is a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
    The cable form your Cinema should look like this: http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/homelib/dvi_connector600.jpg

  • 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.

  • Use Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to connect Mac Mini to Cinema Display?

    Hi
    I have a new-to-me current model Mac Mini and want to use it with my 20" Cinema Display (model A1081).
    The Mac Mini instructions say to use the HDMI port on the Mac Mini with a DVI>HDMI adapter cable. I seem to have only a DVI>Mini DisplayPort adapter cable. I'm guessing this will be OK to use, but don't want to fry the system straight out the box
    Can anyone confirm it's OK to use DVI>Mini DisplayPort connection to drive the display?
    TIA
    Jim

    Thanks for the reassurance BSteely!
    One thing I've seen when rummaging through the forum is a suggestion that with MDP>DVI adapter is problems with display waking from sleep. Short of setting it not to sleep, is there a workaround to wake it up again if it doesn't respond to usual stimuli?
    TIA

  • 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!

  • Can`t fully connect Macbook Pro and Cinema Display!!

    Hello. I recieved yesterday a Macbook Pro 15 and a Cinema Display 27. When I connected them the weirdest thing happens: the display turns on and off along with the Macbook, and the screen savers are the same in both, and when I move the cursor it moves in the Display, but except this nothing else shows me that there is a connection between them. All that appears in the Display is the original wallpaper, not a single icon or anything else.
    What can be happening.
    Thank you.
    Sebastian.

    It sounds like you're not using the mirror display setting, so you're seeing the extended desktop on the external display, which is the default setting by the way.
    Also note: the external connection won't be maintained if the MacBook is on battery power only.

  • How to connect a Apple LED Cinema Display (24") to a PC with an ATI 4850?

    Help!!!!
    I have a new MacBook Pro and the LED Display just rocks with it, but my PC... how do I connect this MASSIVE investment to my PC with an ATI 4850?

    Sadly, if there is no Mini Display Port on the 4850, you cannot.
    And there are no known adapters at this time.
    Thanks ... Ken

  • How can I connect my 30" HD Cinema Display to my XBox 360?

    Indeed, I presently own an old '30" Apple Cinema HD Display with Aluminum Enclosure,' in which I typically connect to my 15" Macbook Pro via a 'Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter'. I presently use it for my CG Design work and often for streaming movies online, but the big question now is: Can I connect my display to my XBox360?
    I've done a bit of digging already, and I've found a good amount of information regarding connecting my XBox to my Mac, so as to further run it through a window on my screen. Thing is, I don't want to connect it to my Mac to run it through my screen, I want to connect it to my screen!
    So, anyone? Anyone at all?
    Thanks,
    KaT

    I think (not sure since I don't have a UPS) it depends on the UPS and what the form of the power wave is (full sine wave, etc.).

  • 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

  • Help I need a "power brick" for my 30-inch cinema display!!!!!

    I recently moved and lost my "power suppy brick" for my 30-inch cinema display..How do I get another one?? The Applestore wanted my old one to do a even exchange?? But I can't do that...And they don't sell the product as a replacement. I'm stuck with a 2 month old display I can't even use! Any ideas???
    Sony Vaio   Windows XP  

    If the display is covered by AppleCare call 1(800)275-2273 and ask for a replacement power adapter. They will send the new unit first, and you are supposed to return the bad unit. You give them a credit card number when you order the part, so they can charge you, if for some reason they don't receive the old part.
