You only have two choices. The 24" Cinema Display and the 30" Cinema Display. Whichever one best fits your budget and needs, get that.

New Cinema Displays compatible with MBP 17 inch Core 2 Duo?

Hi, I want one of the new Cinema Displays to act as external monitor for my 4 year old Macbook Pro 17 inch Core 2 Duo. Is there a dongle adaptor yet that will connect the display's Mini DisplayPort with my computer's Dual Link DVI? Or am I SOL.?
Thanks

A component such as this one can be used to connect that display to a DVI port.

I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

When I go to europe and head back to the states I can go to customs at their airport i.e france, italy or germany and get VAT refund for all the purchases I made. It does not work the other way around. purchase in the US heading back to europe as far as I know but you can ask US customs at the airport if they do such thing, just make sure you have copies of your receipts.

Some bad news about the dust issue occuring with new cinema displays

Hi. Just wanted to share what I went through today. I received a new cinema display for Christmas (early gift exchange with my gf) and was very shocked when I hooked it up to my MacBook Pro and noticed a long piece of dust under the glass (resembled a short piece of string). Once I confirmed it was under the glass, I packed up the display and brought it to the Apple Store in midtown. The Apple reps at the store were friendly and understanding and gave me no problems with an in store exchange request (the original display was purchased online). Upon receiving my second display, I hooked it up in the store to make sure there were no issues. Guess what...DOA. The Apple reps were shocked and slightly embarrassed and went to the back to get me another display. Once display #3 was brought out, we unpacked it and hooked it up to make sure everything looks alright. As soon as we turned on, 1 dead pixel and multiple pieces of dust behind the glass (5-6 dust particles). Once again, the reps say the dust issue is not acceptable and they go into the back to get display #4. Repeat routine and guess what...even MORE dust this time. Close to 9-10 particles throughout the monitor. Unbelievable! I ended up clearing out their stock so we had to leave the store empty handed (gift card equal to the amount of the display for future purchase).
So what to do now? The manager and staff were very friendly and helpful and told me I could call in next week to see if they replenished their stock yet. Once replenished, the manager will check the monitor I am going to purchase prior to me stopping by the store so I don't waste another trip. I have a feeling this issue will be ongoing until it is addressed by Apple but we shall see. I really want this monitor for my new MacBook Pro so hopefully this will get sorted soon.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone purchase a good display?

I'm glad there are others out there who are also seeing this stuff. My local apple store manager was more concerned about her stores sales rather than making the swap and getting me a new one. They held one after I was on the phone with them for 45 minutes, and this process required me to call back the next day again to make sure it was put on hold because even though they were closed, she couldnt place it on hold. Then, this monitor had dust behind it, and they were out of stock and were very unhelpful. I contacted apple and they have since been shipping me a new monitor. The first one came two days ago, cluster of 4 stuck green pixels noticeable on a black background, backlight issues, and there was some dust.
I've said it before and will again, Apple you make great great stuff, but the displays are going down in quality. I've had iphones, new MBP's, and now cinema displays with dust under the glass. I dont know if they feel that most people don't catch this, and this is worth the price of doing busisness, however, its a shame to waste my time in hopes of getting one eventually that is perfect.
Everyone who I talk to at aplcare is very nice and helpful. It just seems a huge waste of money for them to keep shipping monitors out with this issue when they are ultimately spending more to let me win the lottery so to speak in getting a display that doesnt have issues.
Hopefully apple will see these posts and escalate them. Because I am bout to drop another 6,000 on a 2nd macbook pro and the new imacs when they release, and I pray that I dont have these issues. I would love to know who the vendor is, because they have been very sloppy lately.
Maybe I could get a job at apple working quality assurance? That would be a dream job, playing with all thier new product and doing something useful, and getting paid.......

New Cinema Displays on an (old) G4-867???

Hi. I have a PPCG4 867 MHz (OS 10.4.8, 512MB RAM) with factory installed NVIDIA GeForce2 MX with TwinView display card. I'd like to upgrade to a new cinema display, either a single 23" or dual 20" setup. I do not do heavy graphics or gaming, but just would like a bit more screen real estate. Three questions:
1) Will my current system support the 23" as a simple plugnplay?
2) Will my current system support the dual 20" as a simple plugnplay (I'm not sure what the nomenclature "TwinView" implies), or do I need to purchase a different graphics card? If the latter, any specific suggestions?
3) Any other ideas that I should consider?
Thank you!

Yes, if you have done the firmware update

For the new 23" you will need the ADC to DVI adapter

No. Your card has one digital (ADC) and one analog (VGA) port. Apple displays are digital only. "TwinView" means both ports can be used at the same time. You would need a graphics card with two digital ports to run two 20" Apple displays. There are no new cards suitable for your G4 (the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC/Mac Edition 256MB does not work in many older G4s). You may be able to find a used board, such as the NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX Ti, or get a non-Apple display with a VGA input.

Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme, Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme

Since connecting my new Cinema display to my new Mac Pro, I can't open Final Cut Express. I get the message that I need Quartz Extreme to use it. How come it isn't in my brand new computer or monitor?? I could use FCE fine with an old monitor. HELP!

I finally called Apple support on Monday (couldn't on Sunday - it surprised me that they don't have 24/7 phone support). Tech had no idea, so put me onto a 'supertech' (in America?). He instructed me to reset the whole computer - turn it off, unplug it and then hold down 4 keys while it rebooted. That worked. I can now open Final Cut Express and iMovie. There's no reference to 'Quartz Extreme' in my 'About This Mac' display info, but I don't care, everything works now, hooray! (Now if I can only get my Mac mouse to work properly...)

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

What is causing a sound problem with new Cinema Display 27 ?

My new 27 Cinema Display intermittently won't play sound when connected to my MB Pro. Restarting the computer doesn't fix it, and all the display audio settings are correct etc. Phoned Apple Support and the fix was to unplug the power from the back of the cinema display to reset the screen controller. This keeps happening - is this a software bug ? Hardware problem ? Is it fixable or something that is a legacy of the 24 inch cinema display problems ? I really like the screen size but don't want a display that I keep having to plug/unplug in order to watch hulu, play itunes etc. Apple won't declare my screen to be defective even though this has happened a few times but can't tell me how to fix the problem either. Am going to send it back for a refund - don't know whether a different display will have the same problem or if this is a generic cinema display defect. Thanks for any insight.

There are threads in this forum and MacRumors where numerous people are having this issue. When I contacted support they had me reload the software update and reset the power. I am encouraging everyone to contact Apple every time it happens so we can get a fix for the problem. It is the general consensus that this is a software issue that can be corrected if we can get Apple to work on it. I agree with you I expect my $1000 monitor to work properly all the time.

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?

Kitten + New Cinema Display = need cord replacement :(

Well, my cat chewed through the USB cord that is part of the set of three cords that comes out of the beautiful new LED Cinema Display that I bought. Not the nicest morning surprise. I will be covering the cords or shutting the cat out of the office from now on. In the meantime, the USB cord is no longer functional. Fortunately, the power cord and the Mini Display port cord are fine. I am able to plug my keyboard directly in to my MacBook Pro, and use the display that way.
My question is this: Since I rather expect that either the power or the Mini Display port or both could end up fraying, getting chewed, not working, etc. - are there replacement options for these? Really, I'd like to have the USB cord working, too - so if it's an easy thing, I would like to get the cable replaced now. I am very worried that I will lose $800 worth of equipment because of a need to have a new cable. (The cable doesn't appear to be removable - does anyone know?)
Thanks for your help.

Apple could replace the cable, but it won't be cheap. Find a local computer repair store and see if they can cut the end off a new USB cable and splice it on to the display's cable. There are only four wires in the USB part, and if they use shrink tubing over the splice, it shouldn't look too ugly.

Is it a Good time to purchase an Apple Cinema Display?

I am about to get the Apple Cinema Display and I would like to know if it is a good time to purchase it. Will the display drop price soon? And if it does, do I have any protection from Apple?
The other thing is that I am from Canada and does anyone know why there is a big difference between the US$ and CAN$?
The 20" display for educational in US is $699 and in CAN is $899.
I am sure that it is not because of the currency.
Thank you

Welcome to the boards. First off the price USD is $799, at this point it does not seem like apple will be dropping the price of the Cinema Displays any time soon, last price drop occured only about 6 months ago. So now is about the best deal your going to get.
As far as any extened coverage for an ACD goes is that if you buy an apple computer AND an Apple Cinema Display at the same time you can get an Apple Care Protection plan for the computer and the display will be covered as well if you buy the the Display at a later date, the extended warranty will not cover the display. Had to find this out the hardway with my PowerBook and 20" ACD

Want to purchase a new graphics card

I would like to purchase a new graphics card for my G5 to work with Aperture. Not sure which cards will work with my machine.

Curious... Aperture is for photos, still images
right? That is not graphics intense on a machine so
spending outrageous $$ on a high end ATI card would
be crazy. nVidia and ATI have nice AGP 8X cards for
under $200... personally, I would look for the best
vram (GDDR3 is the latest, greatest and fastest) and
go no less than 256Mbs... higher means more $$. You
unfortunately cannot go for PCI-Express, that's
faster than AGP. Good Luck...
Generally, still image work is not very taxing on a video card. With Aperture, it's a different story. Aperture relies heavily on CoreImage which offloads much of the processing onto the video card. So, in this case, a high end ATi card does make sense. If the OP were asking about Adobe's Photoshop or Lightroom, I would agree that the less expensive cards would be a better choice.

We want to purchase a new iPhone but don't want to lose the text messages on that phone. Can they be uploaded and then restored onto the new phone

we plan on buying an iphone 5 but don't want to lose the text messges we have on our iPhone 4s. is there a way to upload the texts and then download them onto the new phone

Text messages are included in your iPhone backup. Before switching over to the new phone, back up the old one, then restore this backup to your new phone. That will transfer text messages, along with other data and settings, as well as your apps and other purchased media. More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.
