How to connect a mac pro A1186 to 27" cinema display

Hello! Trying to connect a newer display to older mac pro.
Have a mac pro A1186, want to connect it to a 27" Cinema display. Any way to do this? I've read that there needs to be a female-mini-to-male-dvi converter, and that those don't exist?
Any suggestions or help?
Thank you!

Hello,
A new graphics card wouldn't be a bad idea; but if you don't want to go this route, I know from experience that the Altona DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter works all right. It is discontinued now, but I'm sure a few of them can still be had through eBay or another similar source. I bought and used one to connect a 2006 Mac Mini to a 27" Cinema Display a while back. Hope this helps.

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

  • Four monitor setup on 2013 mac pro using old 23" Cinema Displays

    My current monitor setup on a 2009 mac pro is four monitors.  Three 23" Apple Cinema Displays (aluminum, mid 2000's) and one large Sony HDTV mounted to the wall as a fourth monitor.
    I achieve this via 2 Geforce 120 video cards, each with a mini display port and a Dvi port each.
    My question is, can I retain this same exact monitor setup on a new 2013 Mac pro cylinder?  If so, what adapters will be needed, and do they all plug into the thunderbolt ports?
    Hearing all kinds of nightmares about multiple monitor problems with the new MP so want to be sure this will work before I drop big bucks.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    For the Tv I'm currently going VGA out of that to a Dvi adapter into the old Mac Pro.  The 3 Cinema Displays are all ether direct Dvi to the video card and two I have to use a Dvi to mini display port adapter.
    So for the new Mac Pro, assuming I don't use the HDMI port, I would need Dvi to minidisplayport adapters for each of the 3 cinema displays and a VGA to minidisplayport for the TV?
    EDIT: And the mini display ports may as well all be active I guess, and they need to plug into the usb bus for power?
    Thanks

  • Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    Does the new mac pro support the Apple cinema display

    There is no 2007 23" Cinema Display
    There is a 2002 23" display that has the Apple ADC connector
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg
    There is also the 2004 23" display with a DVI connector.
    For the latter you just need a mini display port to DVI connector that plugs into the Thunderbolt port
    For the former you need that connector plu an DVI to ADC connector

  • HT1338 How to connect my MacBook Pro to my 23" Cinema HD Display?

    My MacBook Pro has a Thunderbolt port and I have just bought a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to connect to my 23" Cinema HD Display which works fine on my old MacBook Pro.
    However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.
    Any thoughts, please?

    Here you go - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019 - Use Video Mirroring.. if it fails
    - Shutdown disconnect the power for the cinema display, leave the mag safe on the MBP reset the smc - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Also i have questions about the following that you mentioned  - However, although my new MBP can detect the display, the monitor does not switch on and there is no sign of life.  <--- is your 23 Cinema HD display plugged into power / Magsafe ??
    Which Cinema display do you have this one - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Apple_LED_Cinema_Display.pdf

  • How to use a mac mini intel with 30" cinema display

    Arg, I just bought an Apple 30" cinema display to go with my new Mac mini intel, but oops the 30" apple cinema display has to use a dual link dvi card. Anyone know how to get out of this horrible situation without buying another new computer.
    Thanks!

    If you want to run the LCD at it's high 2560x1600 resolution, then you have absolutely no option whatsoever than to buy a PowerMac or MacBook Pro. Otherwise, you will be able to run the panel at 1280x800 with the Mac mini, which wouldn't make much sense though.

  • No video on Mac Pro 266 + 20" Apple Cinema Display + ADC to DVI Adapter

    When I boot my Mac Pro, I don't get a video signal. I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display (clear case) connected via an ADC to DVI adapter. I have connected the monitor/adapter on a Powerbook G4 wihout any issues, which rules out the monitor. I've tried everything: resetting PRAM/NVRAM, motherboard reset button, unplugging everything...nothing works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you guys using the ADC to DVI adapter or the DVI to ADC adapter?
    I have a clear 23" cinema display and I was thinking of getting a new Mac Pro... From what I can tell, you need the DVI to ADC adapter that sells for $100+. Is that correct?

  • How to connect a PowerMac G3 (VGA) to a Cinema Display (DVI)

    Hi,
    I've just bought a used PowerMac G3 on ebay. I already have a Cinema Display 20'' with DVI input only. So the problem is that the G3 only has VGA output. I now bought an adapter which totally fits: So I now can connect the G3 with the Cinema Display. However, I can't see anything on screen.
    I read somewhere this is because the Cinema Display needs digital DVI signal input.
    Please, is there any way to connect my Cinema Display with this VGA PowerMac G3?
    I am thankful for every comment or idea!
    Regards, Canubis

    Hi,
    thank you for your reply.
    It seems that really is what I was searching for. Except the fact that we're talking about a price range, where I can get another display with VGA für my G3. Mh so well, before buying the 700 dollar converter I could rather buy a big mac mini and would even have more performance for a smaller price...
    However thank you again. I now know there is a solution although it is not very cheap and there may be more affordable ones.
    Regards, Canubis

  • Mac Pro boot sound on Cinema display

    Hey guys,
    Is it possible to run the Mac pro boot sound on my cinema display instead of the Mac pro's build in speakers?
    My macbook sounds more agressive than that Mac badboy .
    thanks!
    -Sam

    I think this has been a problem since the beige G3 and an early speaker-equipped Mac display.
    The startup chime is produced long, long before the display is configured to accept the data and make it into speaker noises. It is near impossible to make the startup chime come out the display speakers.

  • Connecting 08 MacBook Pro to new 27" Cinema Display

    I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2008 and am trying to connect it to a new 2011 27" Flat Panel Cinema Display.  The DVI port from the display will not fit into the DVI port in my laptop.  Any ideas why?  Both Apple and our IT people have given us several things to try and nothing has worked so far. Please help!

    These are the ports on the left side:
    These are the ports on the right side:
    And these are the different DVI ports. The top is the one that actually fits into my MacBook Pro (it's connected to an old display). The bottom is a cable we bought that we thought would help convert the mini DVI to DVI but it doesn't fit into my DVI port on the computer.

  • 09 Mac Pro with Apple 24 Cinema Display or Another Display?

    Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2 on a new Mac Pro or is there a better non-Apple choice?

    I have Cinema Displays on my current setup and like them a lot, never had an issue with pixel response time. When it's time to replace them, I will not be buying the new Cinema Displays, but that's just because I don't like glossy monitors.
    Consider also that FCP presents a low-res proxy image to better use resources for real time playback. To truly assess the picture quality an external pro monitor is required, or at the very least an excellent consumer TV.

  • Mac Pro doesn't drive Cinema Display at startup

    Config: Mac Pro 2.66GHz 2006 with ATI Radeon Graphics Card, Apple Cinema Display 23".
    Recently at startup I've had intermittent problems with lighting up the ACD. Sometimes restarting worked. This started immediately following an especially rough Tasman Sea crossing from New Zealand to New Caledonia - we have some severe underwing slams aboard our 52-ft catamaran.
    I removed the ATI Radeon, cleaned all the contacts, then reseated the card. Voila - graphics again! A few days later I'm again seeing no graphics at startup.
    The ACD seems to be 100%, I am driving it as I write with my MacBook Pro. ACD also works with Apple TV.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated - we are in a remote area of New Caledonia, Ile des Pins, where there are no Apple service options.

    Uh-oh. I returned from a trip to find my Mac did not chime on powering up the other day. Just now it didn't wake from sleep after dinner. It finally restarted after I held the power button for a while, but again no chime, although I do have the white apple/grey screen that you're talking about.
    It's not looking good.
    Verify Disk found no issues. I was kind of hoping it was from the recent update with the Mac App Store, somethign that would be fixed with the next update.
    Looks like it could be a hardware issue even though this thing is just 21 months old.
