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 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

  • Can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly.  If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • New cinema display on Mac Pro monitor keeps turning off/going dark. Support told me a keyboard shortcut (something like option R L)... I'd appreciate it if anyone knows it. I had this problem when i 1st bought it 2 months ago.

    My new cinema display fro mac pro just went dark. When I 1st bought it, the display wouldn't turn on.I called support and they gave me a keyboard shortcut - something like Option+R+L - that you held down for 2 restart cycles. Then it magically turned on. I can't remember the sequence and I'm afraid to guess! I'd appreciate if anyone knows the trick. I'm also wondering if I should bring this display back...

    Cassandra from Apple Support ROCKS!!!! She's a supervisor somewhere and should have a raise. Pleasant, smart and professional with a customer who wouldn't take "I don't know" for an answer.
    If your cinema display goes dark:
    1. shut down computer
    2. restart
    3. immediately hold down Command-Option-P-R keys simultaneously for a few minutes (seems forever)
    4. keep holding keys for 2 startup cycles
    5. release and go back to work if you're lucky to have a restored screen

  • How to connect the 27" cinema display to Mac Pro?

    Hallo, I want to connect my mac pro, early 2008, with force gtx 285 to a apple cinema display 27", which adapter do I need??? Sorry for my english, I'm from austria. Thanks for your help :-)

    To drive the 27" to its full reolution you need a male dual link DVI to female mini-displayport adaptor.  Apple makes one but it is not cheap ($99).  Stick "dual link dvi to mini-displayport adaptor" into a google search and maybe you can find something cheaper.

  • How to connect my old 20in Cinema Display to my thunderbolt new MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone, I just brought a new MacBook Pro to replace a older model(brought earlier 2010), and a new thunderbolt Cinema Display. I have a old 20 inch LCD Cinema Display all the way from 2005 and brought a mini display port for my old MacBook Pro, worked just fine. However with the new Thunderbolt Display, I noticed there's another thunderbolt port behind and was thinking to connect my old Cinema Display as a secondary monitor. I've brought a thunderbolt port from amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KB0EGC/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 ), but my old monitor still shows black. What did I do wrong here? Thanks!

    So currently there are two displays and you expect there to be three?
    Can you swap the displays just to make sure there is nothing else wrong?
    That is confirm:
    1) MBP -> Display A works
    2) MBP -> Display B works
    Then try:
    MBP +-> Display A
        |
        +-> Display B

  • 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

  • Mini DisplayPort + Cinema Display woes

    So we have this brand new MacBook Pro, and a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter was purchased to hook it up to a 20" Cinema Display, but it has this weird problem. If the MBP goes to sleep while hooked up to the second monitor, and then you wake it up, the second monitor flickers on and off wildly, also showing some bizarre colored lines. This happens roughly 75% of the time the Mac is woken up from sleep while plugged into the display.
    Unplugging the DisplayPort and plugging it back in will solve the problem. So my question is, what could be causing this? At first I figured it could be the Mini DisplayPort adapter itself, but the problem seems to be too consistent for that to be the case. The problem ONLY happens when waking from sleep, and works totally fine otherwise. Could it be the MBP itself? Any thoughts?

    There are NUMEROUS thread now about this in the Display forum, so please feel free to check them out. It's a bug that affects anybody with an external display. I'm hoping Apple fixes it soon....

  • 24" cinema display with Mac Pro

    I am looking for a monitor for an old Mac Pro (DVI). I thought about the Cinema Display LED 24" but since it only has mini display port, what are the options for connecting it with the DVI Mac Pro ?

  • 5770 with 27" Apple LED and two 20" Apple Cinema Displays w/Mac Pro

    As stated, I just bought a brand new Mac Pro 8-core (2010 ID 5,1) with a 5770 card and I'm trying to hook up a new 27" Apple LED and two 20" cinema displays. One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770 and the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port. When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing. The screen is black and the it is not recognized as being connected. I'm using the standard DVI connector that came with the 20" direct into the 5770. To make sure it isn't a monitor problem, I switched out the 20" displays and both work using the MDP adapter but neither work plugging directly into the DVI port on the 5770. I believe the 20" monitors use DVI-D. (Is that correct?) So what's the scoop on getting blank screens when plugging into the DVI port on the 5770? Thanks for any help.

    "• the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port.
    • One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770.
    • When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing.
    Note: If you are using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports.
    If you are connecting three displays, any DVI displays must be connected to either the Dual-Link DVI port or must use an Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Adapter.
    You MUST use All "Active" or "Powered" Mini DisplayPort connector such as the Apple Dual Link, or you can only use two displays

  • Black screen on 24" LED Cinema Display using Mac Pro

    Hi,
    I need some help guys.
    I was messing about with my screen resolution and I selected the 720p setting.
    Since doing so, my screen is blank and I am unable reset it.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM (holding Command, Option, P and R keys) and release after the 2nd start up chime. The screen fires up whilst the system boots up, goes blank again and then for a split second or so fires up (light blue screen) and returns back to a blank screen. I have tried this several times.
    I have this new screen connected to my Mac Pro using the Dr Bott Video Link box as my Mac Pro does not have the mini display port.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi Malcolm,
    I am glad to report your 2nd suggestion worked a treat and I have a display that works
    Thanks for you help - Much appreciated.

  • Dual Cinema display on Mac Pro

    Ok so i have 2 cinema displays, one is the 22' inch DVI and the other is 23' inch ADC. Well i finally got my ADC to DVI converter so i can use the 23' inch CD on my Mac Pro. Well finds out, when i connect the 22' inch DVI and the 23'inch with the ADC to DVI converter to the mac pro side by side, it doesnt fit. I need about about 1cm of clearance so i can connect both displays to the back of the computer. Both connectors are hitting each other. The ADC to DVI connector is a little bulky.. What is the easiest way around this fix ?
    2 x 2 GHZ Dual Core Intel Xeon   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2 cinema displays

    Your computer should have come with a short DVI extension cable with a narrow plug, which will fit beside the other DVI plug. If not, you could file down the DVI plugs.

  • 3 x Cinema Displays on Mac Pro

    I´m about to configure my BTO Mac Pro 3.0 Ghz. I want to run 3 x Cinema Displays off this system and I wonder if it is possible to combine one X1900 XT graphics card and one Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT (instead of 2 x 7300 GT..) ?
    I´m getting 3 x 23" Displays, but I also want to keep the possibility open to run 2 x 30" displays at some point. Besides, I generally like the idea of having a X1900 XT available in my system..
    Would this work ?
    Any input is highly appreciated.
    THANKS.

    When the Mac Pro first came out there was a note in the video developer note saying not to mix NVIDIA and ATI cards, but there is no such note in the latest revision of the note.
    <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWTechVideo/Articles/Videoimplementation.html>
    If you use a X1900 and a 7300 GT, put the X1900 in slot 1 and the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT in slot 4 and set the PCI-Express bus to x16 x1 x1 x8.
    If you use two X1900s, put them in slots 1 and 2, and set the PCI-Express bus to x8 x8 x1 x8.

  • Want to run two 30" cinema displays from Mac Pro

    I'm running Avid Media Composer software to edit a film that I made, and I would like to run (if possible) two Apple 30" cinema displays next to each other off of my Mac Pro (the computer was purchased at end of 2009). While editing with Avid software, I like to spread out my work and bins in able to see everything, and strange as it may sound, I'd like more room than one 30" display can provide. Currently, I have one Apple 30" Cinema display in use, and could purchase another large display if I can find out-- definitively, if my Mac Pro computer will be able to handle it and power it effectively. I realize that Apple doesn't sell the 30" displays anymore, but I saw a few relatively inexpensive ones available on Craigslist recently.
    The second monitor that I'm using now is a much older (non-Mac) monitor (and smaller) and the resolutions don't match the high resolution of my single Apple 30" display. So, my reason for wanting a second, larger display are twofold... 1) to see more of my work, and 2) to get the highest resolutions to match (2560x).
    The ports on the back of the Mac Pro don't look like they will support the use of a second 30" display, just one. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Do I need to purchase another video card to run a second 30" Apple display? If so, which ones are best/do you suggest?
    Do I need to upgrade my processing speed (get a faster processor) to run two large, high-rez monitors?
    specs:
    Mac Pro
    10.6.6
    Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz
    Memory: 2 GB
    800 MHz DDRZ FB-DIMM
    Quad-Core Intel Xem
    Purchased end of 2009

    If it has two DVI ports, just plug in the second display with an additional Dual-Link DVI cable -- the card can run both displays without issue.
    If it has one DVI and one other type, Exactly which display card do you have installed?
