I Wish to connect my 6 year old Apple 20" Cinema Display to an orignal MacBook Air which does not have a Fire-Wire port. Is this possible? Any advice would be appreciated. I have the Micro-DVI to DVI adapter. Norm

The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display.  The display will run without it.

  • How can I get software from a disc onto my macbook air which does not have a disc drive.?

    I have  macbook air with no disc drive. However, I recently was given some cookbook software as a gift and it is in disc form. Wondering if there is an easy way to get this new software onto my mac. Was hoping I could upload the software to another PC and then burn it to a thumb drive and switch it over that way.Thoughts on if this is doable??
    Thanks!

  • How do i connect to an OHP (Overhead Projector) with MacBook Air?

    How do i connect to an OHP (Overhead Projector) with MacBook Air? Is it possible? What leads would I need?
    Thanks.

    Good question! The simple answer is, I haven't the foggiest idea. I will be going abroad, so don't know what kind of OHP i will have to use. I have a lead that connects with a tv (HDMI - I think). But am not sure about OHPs.

  • Activating HBOGO on Apple TV? I go to Settings Activate Device and it gives me a code but does not give me a page to log in. Any advice?

    I go to Settings>Activate Device and it gives me a code but does not give me a page to log in. Any advice?

    I'm sure you figured it out by now, but I ran into the same problem.  I found this on the HBOgo site.  This help me.
    1) Launch HBO GO on your device.
    2) Navigate to the 'Settings' tab.
    3) Click the 'Activate Your Device' button - the next screen should show you your activation code.
    4) Navigate to www.hbogo.com/activate.
    5) Select Apple TV from the device drop down list.
    6) Select your TV provider.
    7) On the Activate a Device screen, enter the code displayed on your television (from step 3), click the 'Activate' button.
    8) You should see a 'Success!' message on both your television and your browser. Until the 'Success' message appears on your television screen, you will not be able to watch a video.
    9) You are ready to start streaming video on HBO GO!

  • 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.
    <http://www.amazon.com/Apple-DVI-ADC-Display-Adapter/dp/B00011KHT2>
    Connect the 30" display to the Thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort to DUAL-LINK DVI adapter.

  • 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 ;-)

  • How can I connect a LED Cinema Display to Intel-based iMac?

    My iMac24" (Intel-based 2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo) has a Mini DVI Output. The LED 24"Cinema Display has a Mini Display Port. Is there an adapter available to use the Cinema Display as an Extended Desktop?
    Need help urgently! Thanks.

    no 3rd party solutions available?
    As I said, there are no converters available, from any source.
    What makes the DisplayPort special compared to a MiniDVI?
    You can read up on DisplayPort here:

    That article lists some purported advantages.

  • How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

    I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

    DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
    If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
    I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

    My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire).  Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need?  Thank you very much for your help.

    To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop.  Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ? 

  • Apple 23" Cinema display and internal macbook speakers

    With a 23" cinema display hooked up to my macbook and the macbook's lid closed can i use the internal speakers?
    ps. i have a mighty mouse and wireless keyboard so i can close the lid.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, iLove 
    Yes, the internal speakers will work with the lid down. They won't sound very good.
    Once the external screen is active as the sole screen, you can raise the lid on the MacBook and the internal screen will stay off.
