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

  • How to connect a Apple LED Cinema Display (24") to a PC with an ATI 4850?

    Help!!!!
    I have a new MacBook Pro and the LED Display just rocks with it, but my PC... how do I connect this MASSIVE investment to my PC with an ATI 4850?

    Sadly, if there is no Mini Display Port on the 4850, you cannot.
    And there are no known adapters at this time.
    Thanks ... Ken

  • 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.

  • Apple LED Cinema Display connected to iMac 21.5" 3.33GHz

    I have an Apple LED Cinema Display connected to an older iMac 21.5" (late 2009) and I am using the Cinema Display as the main display. It is very dim though. The iMac's screen is brighter and this computer is actually way older than this LED Cinema Display. This LED Cinema Display should be way brighter, but I cannot adjust the brightness on it. There is no slider when I open display preferences. Anything I can do? Thanks.

    Brightness is controlled via USB.  Is the display's USB cable plugged into the computer?

  • New MacBook Pro & 27" Apple LED Cinema Display Don't Go to Sleep

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
    Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
    PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

    Is your 2.6 the CTO upgrade from the high end 2.3 15"?
    Yes, both will work under OSX and Windows. One note, when you boot Windows, you need to unplug the USB from the LED Cinema display or Windows will not boot. Once booted, then plug the USB back in to regain brightness, etc controls.

  • 8800 GT vs. new Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel)

    I would like to buy the new Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel), however, have no idea if it is compatible with my Mac Pro. Bellows are the details of my desktop...
    Mac Pro (MacPro3.1) Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz * 2 (8 cores), with 12 GB DDRII 800 MHz.
    Graphics cards for Mac Pro (Early 2008): NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (part number 630-9191 or 630-9897)
    If it's not compatible, could someone let me know how to upgrade of what to make it work?
    Thanks!

    Doesn't look hopeful.
    Apple LED Cinema Display 27"
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A
    Obviously the ATI 5770, once it ships, will work.
    Apple Display tech note only addresses ATI 5xxx and only 2009-2010 Mac Pro models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4279
    Cutting off anything two years old, is now 'legacy'? I don't think they hope to sell their 27" to older Macs or PCs.
    In the product Q&A:
    *This looks great! Does this work with PCs?*
    Yes, but you'll need an adapter with a mini-displayport like the top of the line Radeon 5970 (they all have one MDP), or one of the 5870s specifically designed for Eyefinity (multiple displays). Search Newegg under graphics cards (advanced) and filter only cards with mini displayport. No other PC cards on the market, including Nvidia seem to have mini-displayport. It's a good interface, but I fail to see why Apple decided to loose customers to support it exclusively.

  • VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...?

    Attaching VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...? Is this possible? I have a personal MBP that'd work fine, but need to connect a work laptop as well. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

    As mentioned, the biggest issue is that the VGA signal is analog, and the Apple Cinema Displays only accept digital signals. Does your laptop have any other videop output ports? A DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort would be the easiest, of course, but if you have an HDMI connection, you could get something like the Atlona HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter and Scaler. Not exactly cheap at $170, but if you really need it, and you have the port, maybe it is a solution for you. The only issue, it seems, is you would be limited to 1920x1080 resolution.

  • Annoying Screen saver/Login window/Apple LED Cinema Display Bug

    Hi all,
    After upgrading to 10.6.4 I have a really annoying problem.
    First the relevant setup information: MacBook Pro 17 inch (2009 model), 8 GB RAM, 10.6.4, Screen saver activates after a few minutes with password protection and a few minutes thereafter the screen is put to sleep.
    Here is what happens: whenever I have an external Apple LED Cinema Display connected and I move the mouse while the screensaver is activated, I am able to type my login and password, but after that in just a matter of seconds (usually 3-4 seconds) the both screens become blue and all my programs close and Mac OS X jumps to the login screen (all data that was not saved is gone, all open windows also gone). This bug does NOT happen if the Apple LED Cinema Display is not connected.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Best Regards,
    Michael

    Hello guys, thank you for answering.
    Yes, the USB cable is plugged.
    At the moment I'm avoiding to flash the VRAM. But I found out that restarting my system gives me access to the controls again. It does randomly stop working. Sometimes I can adjust the cinema display settings but not the macbook screen settings. In my opinion it is definitely a bug.
    There is any way to submit a bug somewhere?

  • Late 08 mbp to Apple LED Cinema Display

    If the computer has a Mini DisplayPort, just plug it in. If not, use this component.

    Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?  Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

  • VMware Fusion and Apple LED Cinema Display

    I have a 2008 MBP and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. My OS is 10.7.2.
    I am running Windows 7 with the latest updates in VMWare Fusion 4.1.1. I have several issues.
    1) When I go to chose my monitor it say Apple LED Cinema Display but "Generic Non-PnP Monitor." I downloaded and installed the boot camp drivers as I understood those contained the drivers for the monitor, but that didn't seem to help. Do I need to have the Boot Camp drivers?
    2) When I try to access the Boot Camp Control panel in Windows 7 in Fusion I get "An error occured while tyring to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk." My guess is this is because the Boot Camp drivers are only needed if you actualy run Boot Camp.
    3) In Windows I cannot choose the native resolution of the Apple display (2560 x 1440).
    4) The resolution ia 1277 x 1234. That is weird.
    5) If I minimze the Fusion window and then immediately open it, it looks fine. But if I wait for awhile and open it, the window will be black until I click inside of it.
    Something is wrong, Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Bryan

    you have to separate out what is Fusion and what is Windows native.
    Even doing updates to Windows sometimes should not or cannot be done properly in VM.
    And there is no way to change the default boot drive - a VM doesn't have access and that is the host OS's job, not the guest's.
    Install the latest AMD driver for mobility - and dont' use the "auto detect" - that is not going to work on Apple hardware.
    You dont' run Boot Camp. But the Apple drivers and serives needed for hardware support, yes, they aren't running or loaded.
