How I connect a 27 " Mini DisplayPort Display to a Mac Pro 2006?

Dear All,
I need to know if I can connect a 27" Mini DisplayPort Display to Mac Pro 2006
Thanks a lot in advance

You can certainly do that, the Apple Online store sells it for US$150.

I have not tested it. It is certainly good to know it exists. I hate paying the premium for "leading edge" equipment, so I am writing from my 2009 Mac Pro with used Apple 30 inch Cimena display.
If I were to pay what that new display costs, I would buy a new display card to drive it directly. My recommendation is to upgrade your diplay card for US$100 more (than the cost of the adapter) and get a card capable of Dual-Link DVI AND two Mini Displayports.

  • How to connect my Sony mini DV camcorder to my Mac Pro

    My borrowed Sony mini DV Handycam output wire has no suitable input on my Early 2009 Mac Pro.  I have a couple of assorted cable but no match.  Is there such a thing?

    There are multiple compatible FireWire connectors, that have from four to six to nine conductors, but adapter cables allow them to interconnect and work fine.
    There are at least eight different USB connectors, A and B male and female, mini and micro male and female, and I expect there are more that i can not list. All will interconnect and work fine with the right adapter cables.
    It is not surprising if you do not have the correct interchange cable in your box. Luckily, they can be had for cheap. The camera owner probably has a cable that works already.

    How do i hook up two hdmi displays to the Mac Pro  cylinder?

    but they are passive not active.
    The new Mac Pro can use a maximum of two passive adapters (the built-in HDMI port counts as one), so you could use one passive adapter, but any more would have to be active.

  • How to connect my ipad mini to wireless printer

    Could someone tell me how to connect my ipad mini to my AirPrint printer

    If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed.  A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
    However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network.  Its 2 different things.
    For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network.  It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

    How many pins has my Mini DisplayPort ? 32 or 20 ? I have a late 2009 MBPro 13" (Impossible to find this answer online!)

    Thanks - that's what I am worried about.
    The 2010 MBPro is a different version when it comes to the Mini DisplayPort because the 2009 MBPro doesn't transmit audio ony video whilst the 2010 MBPro does both.

    please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

  • How do I connect a Maverick imac and a snow leopard mac pro file sharing

    I am trying to connect an imac running Maverick,  and an older mac pro 1,1 running snow leopard.  The mac pro does not have airport.  I have tried connecting using my wireless router:  mac pro ethernet conencted and wifi with imac, but I either cannot connect or it takes forever.  I need a more reliable solution.  I bought an airport card for the mac pro. I hurt my foot, and am laid up, and have to access the massive files on the mac pro and external drives with the imac.  They are about 75 feet apart.  The imac uses the wirteless router just fine, which is next to the mac pro.  Which is the better solution,  buying a long enough eitehrnet cable, and direct connect, or install the airport card and connect using airport?  One more concern, I noticed my neighbor has  a mac, and his mac keeps showing up on the network as a lockede but selectable mac.  I am concerned about my security.  Which is best, and what is the sequence to set it up?  I can see that a step by step process with proper sequence and settings is critical to get tis to work.  Thanks for any help. 

    How are you currently trying to connect? The easiest method for setting up across operating systems would be to connect using AFP, the standard protocol Macs use to share files over a network (though, SMB2 is now the default method in Mavericks). Are you attempting to simply transfer data from one machine to the other, or set up a local network between these machines? If it is the former, the easiest method may be to use an external HDD to copy data from one machine and then transfer it to the other.
    See below for AFP:
    Mac Basics: File Sharing - Support - Apple
    And a youtube video:
    Mac 10.6 OS X Tutorial - File Sharing -AFP FTP and SMBS - Video ...
    One more concern, I noticed my neighbor has  a mac, and his mac keeps showing up on the network as a lockede but selectable mac.
    This is normal. You would need to explicitly grant your neighbor access to your machine for him to access anything on the machine, just as you need to do the same with your own computer you are attempting to connect.

  • How can I connect older Mac Pro (2006) to my network wirelessly?

    I just got a new (2012) MacPro that I can connect wirelessly to my network. I'm moving the old Mac Pro (2006) running OS 10.7.5 that had been connect via ethernet cable to the other end of the house. What do I need to get to connect it wirelessly?
    Thanks,
    Carmen

    Carmen,
    Since the Wireless card was optional back then, you may not have gotten it in your original config?
    You can verify if the hardware is installed several places, as Bob mentioned, do you have the option to enable wireless under your System Prefs \ Network (I would imagine not, since your asking). However, while very unlikely, it may be installed but your not able to see/select it for some reason?
    So, just to make sure, you can also verify via looking under "System Information" (you'll want some info from there anyway).
    "Apple Menu : About This Mac : More Info : System Report : Network : (look for Wi-Fi etc.)" if it exist you'll see the card and info about it.
    If you don't have the option nor see a card was installed you can go about this a few ways.
    1. The absolute easiest route (to NOT have to deal with 3rd party drivers or possible 3rd party issues when you upgrade your OS etc) is check out places like Macsales and see if they have any of the original Air Port extreme cards available and install yourself. - http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/BCM94322MC/
    2. You could talk with Macsales and ask which external USB wireless card works best with your rig (least fussy) and go that route. While several brands work just fine, you just never know when something changes in an update and then your faced with the old pointing fingers thing. Rare, but still....
    Also, while your in the System Information area you'll want to note your model, if it's 2006, I think that's Mac Pro 1,1 ?
    Hope that helps.

  • My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor.

    My Mac Pro (2006) has suddenly stopped sending signal to the display monitor. It coincided with plugging in an Epson printer via usb - while the system was running. Pretty dumb maybe? Could I have damaged the video card? Anyone ideas? Thanks

    Howdy Le Batch,
    I was looking into the issue you are seeing here, and came across a helpful article for this specific situation. It's named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays and can be found here:
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.

    Sterling

  • HT5219 did thunderbolt display worked with mac pro 2012 12 core ??

    i buy mac pro 2012 12 core with thunderbolt display so how i can maake it work with us ??

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you want to use a Thunderbolt Display with your 2012 MacBook Pro, you can do it without any problem because your MacBook Pro has got a Thunderbolt port.
    If you need help to set up the Thunderbolt Display, see its user guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/thunderbolt_display_getting_started.pdf
    Instead, if you have a Mac Pro (it looks like you have a Mac Pro because you say that it has got 12 cores), you can't use the Thunderbolt Display because the Mac Pro hasn't got Thunderbolt ports. Instead, you have to use the LED Cinema Display

    No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
    Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.
