Dual apple 24" led possible?

i'm thinking of picking up a new mac mini to drive 2 apple 24" led. here are my questions:
1. is there an hdmi to mini display port adapter that i can use to drive the 2nd 24" led? if so, how is the performance?
2. is there anyway i can output audio to the speakers of both monitors?
Thanks very much!

This one should work, though confirm before you purchase:

I don't know if the system would be confused if you plugged both USB cables from the monitors in the mini, but you can try it and see. That's the only way I know of to use the monitors' speakers.
Hope this helps.

New MacBook Pro with dual Apple 24 LED Display's?

I am about to buy a new MacBook to replace my iMac (which I have an added 22in monitor for dual displays). I really like the new Apple 24 LED Display (except for the price!) and wanted to know if I can have dual Apple 24 LED Display's running off a MacBook Pro.
If not will it work using the dual-link DVI adapter with a splitter? Or if I want to run dual monitors should I look elsewere (none Apple)?
Any helps would be awesome! My kids will love getting my iMac permanently...LOL.

The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.

Hi-
Can I Use Dual Apple LED 24 Cinema Displays?
Yes.
Either another graphics card or an Atlona box;

Either way will get your 24" LED displays connected.
If you use FCP, the box would be better......

I have 2 Apple Cinema LED Displays (no Thunderbolt) and a new Macbook Air (with Thunderbolt). Is there a way to connect both of these monitor to my Macbook Air?

I'm trying to use 2 older Apple Cinema LED Displays in a Dual Monitor configuration with my Macbook Air. It is a new macbook air and supports Thunderbolt.

Look for minidisplay connectors/adapters that that fit the inputs on the display, such as this example:

IMac 27" with external Apple 24" LED Display

Hi,
I want to know if is there a method to sync the brightness of the two monitor. Everytime I have to change the brightness of the first monitor, and after the one of the second...
Another thing. All the two monitors (the imac and the external apple 24 led display) have stereo speakers. Is there a program or an option to listen using all the speakers and not only one ?
Thank you.
Alvise Susmel

My understanding is that the mini-DisplayPort out on the new iMacs does not include audio so if you only connected the Apple 24" LED display via mini-Displayport, you won't be using the speakers in the external monitor. If you also plug in the 24" display's USB cable, then I assume you should get audio as well externally but no internal iMac speakers would be active then since System Preferences only allows one sound source/output to be active. I think you know all this. Are you looking for a hack that would allow multiple sound outputs to be active?

No. You can buy the new 5s and sell your old iPhone 5

How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

Jacob,
Thank you for the quick response. I opened both the TIFF and the EPS in Illustrator. I used the Eyedropper tool to get the CMYK values of the color of the text part in the TIFF, then I went back to the EPS and selected the text and input the CMYK values in the color tab. I know it's not precise, but it's close enough. Could I have done this better?
Yes, I have access to Photoshop but I haven't tried using it with vector files. I am really new to graphic design and I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

Extension cable for Apple 24" LED Cinema Display

Purchased the newly refreshed Mac Pro (Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processor) and an Apple 24" LED Cinema Display. (The new graphics cards support the mini displayport.) They work well together and I am happy with the results.
There is a snag. The cable on the monitor is too short to reach my computer, which needs to go under the desk. The cable on the display is hard wired. I would prefer not to drill a new hole in the desk if I can avoid it.
The obvious solution would be an extender cable. I find a number of cables that support the displayport standard, but all are M to M. In fact, Belkin notes that their cables are NOT for Apple's mini displayport. The Apple store has nothing on its site, call to the Apple store yielded no solution, and I live four hours from the nearest Apple store. Apple after moving to standard solutions appears to have gone back to a proprietary one again.
I cannot be the only one having this problem. Anybody found a way to extend this cable?

It is around two feet long. I would not have a problem with this if I could extend it or Apple had adopted the standard cable with female connector on the display so I could purchase a longer cable. Apple has a long history of slipping into proprietary solutions that are often good (e.g., magsafe on MacBook) but tend to cramp ones ability to come up with solutions they have not thought of.
There are a growing number of m-m cables that would work from various vendors like Belkin, but I have found no extenders from Apple or any other vendor.
As to the monitor itself, I LOVE it. I am sure there will be a solution eventually. I have the new Mac Pro and monitor on the kitchen counter. Not sure how long my wife's patience will last.

Dual Apple LED Display (24") with NVIDIA GeForce GT120 & ATI RadeonHD4870

I have recently purchased a MacPro4,1 Processor Name:Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz with 6GB memory with the NVIDIA GeForce GT120. Then I purchased a ATI Radeon HD 4870 to be able to run the 2 Apple Cinema displays and an external monitor.
I installed the ATI in slot 1 and the GT120 in slot 3. I use different motion software and the computer seems to recognize as the primary card the GT120 and not the ATI. This creates a problem with the different software I use as it uses for processing and rendering the GT120 and not the ATI faster card.
This is also visible when I go to system preferences and change the display preferences and try to shift them around, the first display is the one that has the GT120 card (which is in slot 3)!!!
Also sometimes I get funny characters in some windows.
I spent the extra dollars to get an ATI card but I am not using its capabilities which is inviting me to disconnect the GT120 card... but then I cannot use the second Apple LED display due to its Apple's miserable connector policy. This is telling me that next time I should not buy the monitors from Apple as its connectors are not trully compatible with the hardware they sell.
I searched everywhere but cannot find similar cases which is very strange. Any solution friends?

You could remove the NVIDIA GT120 and connect the second display to the ATI card's DVI port with a DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter.

Apple 24 LED cinema display iogear dvi kvm

I want a good kvm solutiuon for swtiching a 24" LED Cinema display. I am swtiching between two mac computers. I have the altona minidisplay port kvm, which works ok, but I find it to be a little flaky. I purchased the 2 port professional startech USB kvm/hotkey with the displayport to minidisplay port cable. Unfortunatley, this did not work. The apple display would not power up.
I was thinking about returning this and purchasing the GCS1782 iogear dual link DVI. I would need a mini-dispaly port to DVi converter. Has anyone tried something like this?
As far as I know there is only the altona minidisplayport kvm (now discontinued) and I am not really happy with that. I am kind of pulling my hair out. I want a reliable, hotkey mac compatable, kvm solution that is easy use.
Any advice would be great!!!!

As another suggestion, I would also be interested in a HDMI KVM solution as well....

Best Monitors for video editing??? NEC LCD2690WUXi² Vs 24"Apple GLOSSY LED

I am so stuck finding the right monitor for video editing in my price range i just cant afford the 30" apple cinema display, what is next best solution out there...?
Is Anyone using the NEC LCD2690WUXi² Monitors? from what i can tell they are better than the 24" apple LED displays for video editing as...
a) anti glare screen & can be properly colour calibrated
b) 26" screen Vs 24" screen size
c) got DVI-I & DVI-D Connectors so compatible with NVIDIA GT 120 outputs (1 Mini DisplayPort and 1 dual-link DVI-D)
i would love the 30" apple but the NEC comes in at 1/2 the price so i can eventually buy two & i would have definitely taken the 24" but its just not suitable for professional video editing from everything I've read - mainly due to glossy screen, colours & calibration
pls can anyone help with any display solutions/setups
warmest regards
graeme
Oh PS do the NEC LCD2690WUXi² work flawlessly with the latest "Nehalem" Mac Pros?

Not sure if that model number is here or not, but these are supposed to be very good for color work, though I do know that my old shops are still using their CRT's.

Third party monitors are having some trouble with the new Macs. Mostly because of the mini-display ports on the newest Apple supplied cards, but there seem to be other issues as well. You can definitely expect to use the DVI port and leave the mini display for whatever Apple will force on us next.
Apples 24"? Well, it works fine for most but in Apples own description of the display it was made to connect laptops to.
Edit: I'm sorry, for video work? Most anything in the upper end is fine.

Recomendation for dual Apple monitor?

Just swapped over to dual monitors today, but the Samsung syncmaster 22 inch P2250's produce too much heat. they make me sweat and remove O2 from my lungs when closer than an arm length away. Going to donate them today, but I would like to get a good graphics monitor or dual monitor setup.
any recommendations for an older apple monitor combo? have about 27" desk space. need to have the close up viewing mode for photoshop, video editing, graphic work type stuff.
never experienced such a bad problem with heat before from a monitor, is this a recent development in technology to make monitors unbearable to be in front of for any length of time, to maybe encourage more outdoor recreation?

found out that the old apple 20's didn't have as good a resolution as I thought.
can you use a good LED monitor, apples or elsewhere Like
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ACER/B243HLBMDRZ/
and a smaller monitor and just use the smaller monitor for folders, email?
ideally, i'd like something the same height of the large monitor, but tall, not wide. like an ipad stuck to the side.
do dual monitors have to be the same resolution and orientation?

Itunes music & photos on apple-tv not possible to re-synchronise with imac

I did buy in the last 2 year, a imac, macbook, apple-tv, copple of iphones, a lot of softwares, etc.... i did buy also in itunes a lot of music,, now my imac hard disk crashes just 1 month out of waranty, but i synchronized all my music and photo's to my apple-tv.
Now I did buy a new HD with installation (about 500 euro!!!) and I want to synchronise all my music and photo's again to my imac but at the support phone they say, oh but this is not allowed ! all the music and photo's on your apple-tv you can not synchronise anymore with your imac,
I was an enthousiastic apple user, great design, nice working, etc... but when apple decides how to use your own music and photos en how you're not can use it then I'm al lot demotivated to use apple materials.
If my harddisk crashes en there is no backup at all, I can understand it, when it's gone it's gone .
But on my apple tv there's still all my music and photos, I can see the photos on my TV an hear the music, only apple decides that I can not bring it back to my Imac, That's the problem!
I'm serious, If APPLE is not given any support for my problem I will sell all my apple materials and use DELL computers with SONOS or LOGITECH material for music and photos, My Iphones I change for HTC etc...
I will never use Itunes anymore, there are enough other ways to download music etc..
is there anybody who can help?

I understand that there is a sort of limit to use your music etc... because everybody could copy your hole music file (what you can do perfect with a PC), but I don't understand that in single cases when there is a malfunction like a crash on the main computer, in my case the music-files and photo's are still on the content of a apple-tv or ipod there is no possibility at all to use those files and copy it to the new HD, it's still the same computer, there is enough digital material to see it's the same main computer.
when I did not had the apple tv I would had it to a external HD, I realy thougt that it could be retrieved
When you have a logitech of sonos or other music system (like apple tv) you can always copy the files to a new hd of computer, because the files are a mirror of the computer).
the same thing like the ipod apple versus other MP3 players, the music you can free copy on different pc.
So it's realy apple who will decide, they want to be the little allmighty, thats wat make me angry,
I realy was an apple lover, but it's over!!, I don't give any little penny to the concern for downloads or new material.
I'm sure today or tomorrow they will delete this post because they don't want bad publicity
trust me!!
