Firewire question for 30" Cinema Display

Hooked up display this afernoon. AWESOME. Have a question about the firewire that comes off the display -- there is a plug-in for the power adapter, the DVI, the USB and the firewire. oddly, the firewire does not fit into any of the three firewire ports on the PowerMac G5. This is one of the first models -- had to upgrade graphics card -- checked another G5 which is newer model --- same firewire ports. It appears only to have 3 gold spots inside (3 pins?) Anyone can shed any light on how I plug this in? Display works great without it --- am I guessing that without this plugged in I can't use the firewire ports on the actual display?
Emailing me at [email protected] is always an option. Thanks.

The cables are M-M so, depending on the length, you will need a F-F gender changer

If you are really serious about electrical shielding in the room you may want to consider a fibre-optic DVI link

For the DC power, if you can't find a matching connector, just cut the cable and use your own connectors and wire to make an extension. Presumably, you have to run the wires through a filter where they enter the shielded room, so a ready-made extension cable wouldn't be enough, anyway.
Have you checked for electrical radiation from the display itself? It may need some metal mesh in front of the screen, attached to the metal case all around.

Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
How about this one?
922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more! My parts drawer is always full of them. They like to knot up by themselves as well! Maybe that's how they breed.

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.

New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays ???

I seem to recall that during the WWDC New Specs for Apple Cinema Displays were made public.
What are these new specs ?
Or am I mistaken?<<br>
PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks a.brody
The Online Apple Store and the Apple dealers here in Germany either don't seem to be aware of the new specs or they have a lot of the "older" displays (Brightnes: 270 cd/m2 Contrast: 400:1) left in stock which they want or need "to get rid of".
I'm thinking of ordering either a 23" or a 30" for my MacPro, but the new spec cinema displays are not yet available here.

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)

Want to use a TV as a third monitor for Digital Cinema Display....HELP!

Hey Guys,
Here's my set up, please tell me where I am going wrong:
I have 2 22" LCD Monitors that I use for my main work. I added a second card to my MacPro so that I could add an additional monitor. Now I have a DVI to HDMI cable going to my Plasma that I want to use as playback for clients and such. Here's where it gets weird... In After Effects, I can use the Plasma in Digital Cinema Preview for Playback and Previews...works great. Then, when I open up Final Cut I have problems. First, when I go to "Digital Cinema Desktop - Full Screen" it display one frame and stay on that one frame even during playback. So then I changed my Sequence settings thinking my TV couldn't handle that Sequence. No I get a White Screen with no playback at all, not even the one frame. Now the weird part is that if I change the TV to my "Main Screen" in Monitor Prefs, and set Digital Cinema to "Main" it plays back fine. So, if I can playback with it as my main, why can't I playback otherwise? And...if it works in After Effects, why is Final Cut Having Problems with it? It's set to "All Frames" and "Desktop Mirroring". Thoughts? I have seen this set up work before...what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
Thanks everyone in advance.

DVI Adapter for LED Cinema Display Mini DisplayPort?

Is there an adapter for use with the new LED Cinema display port? I expect the new Mini's to switch to the Mini DisplayPort, if there is a new Mini, but in the meantime ...
Now that everything is going black, glass and aluminum, when is Apple going to update:
1) Keyboards to black keys?
2) Mouse to black and/or aluminum?
3) Mini, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule to black & aluminum?
4) Power Adapters, Airport Express, cables, etc. to black and/or aluminum?
Finally a unified product line/look!

Actually after thinking about it, the immediate solution is likely a short DVI extension cord combined with the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I would prefer a small Apple adapter to ship with the display however, much in the same way as the DB-15 adapter shipped with the VGA version of the old LCD Studio Display, or at least make one for sale. Guess Apple is leaving this up to third parties as usual.
The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would not work in this case as it is a male (Mini DisplayPort) to female (DVI) adapter. The new 24" Cinema Display has a non-removable cable ending in a male (Mini DisplayPort). As a male plug will not connect to a male plug it will not work.
I am sure soon enough various third-parties like Gefen, Griffin, and Belkin will come up with suitable adapters which do have the right genders. It is somewhat disappointing Apple have not done this themselves as I am sure plenty of Mac Pro owners are also salivating over this new display.
Arguably, Apple are repeating the same mistake they made with the ACD (Apple Cinema Display) connector and making it much harder and more expensive to use their displays with non Apple computers. That is they should have stuck with a standard DisplayPort connector rather than the esoteric Mini DisplayPort.
I equally hope someone comes up with Mini DisplayPort to (big) DisplayPort adapters as well.
On a totally different topic, I was also surprised and disappointed Apple did not switch to 16:9 displays for these new products (they are all still 16:10). The rest of the industry has already started switching to 16:9 displays and the clear trend is that 16:10 is on its way out. Still, the black border of these Apple displays does very conveniently hide the blank pixels (when playing a 16:9 video).

Do Window Vista Dirvers exist for Apple Cinema Displays ?

I am using a 23 inch Apple Cinema Display with a windows Vista box and noticed it is using a generic HD driver. Should I have a diver specific to the ACD? Do any exist?
Thanks

I have one more idea that might help people. This is a theory on my part, so bear with me.
You can extract all of the files from WinACD and use just the INF files get your monitor to display at the proper resolutions. To do so, do an Administrative Install using the following command:
msiexec /a <path to msi file>WinACD-0.4.6.msi
This will extract the files to C:\Program Files\WinACD, but not install the application onto the system. You can then go to:
Settings - Control Panel - Display
Click on Settings and then Advanced
Click on Monitor and then Properties
Click on Update Driver... and find the acdmonitor.inf file in C:\Program Files\WinACD\noarch.
Theoretically that should work. I cannot test the very last step for I have it working correctly already.
I will tinker with this on Vista 64 this weekend and see how to make it work. You should not have to do this with Vista 32. I had to turn of the User Account Control in order to be able to install it. With it on, WinACD says that it could not install because it was interrupted.

Need original box & shipping box for 24" Cinema display

I am selling a 24" Cinema display and need to get (buy, presumably) an original box and the outer shipping carton for same. Anyone got an idea how this can be done?

Update: Apple store sales advised me to buy 15" MBP (vs. new 13") due to concerns re: graphics and speed. So I purchased the 2.8Ghz. Set up with cinema display works great. Done.

Where do I find the power adapter for my Cinema Display?

I have recently aquired an older style of an Apple Cinema display. It didn't come with a power adapter, just the DVI cable coming out the back. I have done some research and understand that power and usb and video signal come through this one cable, but I have also come to know there is supposed to be a converter power box type thing between the display and the monitor. I can find boxes similar to the one I believe I need on Ebay and other sites, but not the exact one. They vary in style somewhat. Wondering if someone could steer me in the direction of where to get one and help me understand more of what I need and how it all works? The model/serial number on the monitor is CY3041XSLFA, it's a 23" Cinema HD Display, made in 2002. - Thanks -

Vista 64 bit Driver for Apple Cinema Display

I am trying to use a refurbished Apple HD Cinema Display to connect to both my PC and new Mac... it is integral that I can use it with both.
Any help finding a driver that would work with my Windows Vista 64 bit OS would be much much appreciated... I hate it but I have to work with what I've got!
Thanks so much!

I'm looking for the same basic thing....
Does anyone use a Apple Cinema 23" Display with Vista 64 bit? I'm wondering what video card you use on your PC that supports the 23" Apple display.
I have a DVIator which worked great with XP, but now that my PC has vista, after the vista boot screen starts to appear, I get a black screen.
Thanks

Shipping boxes for 23" cinema displays

I am in the process of moving, but discarded the original boxes which my 23" cinema displays were shipped in, and was wondering where one be able to find shipping boxes for these displays. I've checked with the local Apple store, and AppleCare, without much luck.
If there is anyone who would be willing to part with these boxes for a reasonable amount, please let me know.

Try posting an ad in the MacNN marketplace if you haven't already; boxes for Apple products sometimes appear for sale there.
