How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

Cinema HD Display and Mac Mini compatibility?

I have an older 23" Cinema HD display and am trying to determine if it is compatible with a new Mac Mini. The only thing that looks like a Ser No is on the base: 2A6402H0G0. Is this the SN? And is it compatible? TIA

Is it this one? Then it has an ADC port and connector, and it's unlikely to work as several other threads here suggest.

23" Apple Cinema HD Display & Mac Pro (Power Button Issue)

I have a 23" Apple Cinema HD Display (pre-aluminum model) hooked up to a Mac Pro (early 2008 model) via the Apple ADC-DVI converter. This display has two buttons (brightness and power control) which I can enable/disable in the display preferences. They do not react at all when disabled (surprise, surprise) and they do, when enabled (they flash when being pressed). The brightness button brings up the display preferences panel (brightness settings) and makes it disappear, when being pressed again. Up to this point it's all the way I would expect it. But: the power butten flashes too when pressed, but nothing else happens. With my previous Power Mac G5 (Tiger) it used to start/wake the machine or - when awake - put it back to sleep respectively and that is what I basically want it to do with my Mac Pro. Are there any ideas on what I might be missing here? As the brightness button still works as expected, this looks like a software (Leopard) issue to me.

I think we may have traded posts in another thread about this, but just confirming: you still have the kernel-panic-on-wake issue even after upgrading to 10.5.2? That cleared it up for me.
If you do ... do you by chance have anything plugged into the MacBook Pro's left USB port when it crashes? You might want to try leaving that port free when the machine is sleeping. A colleague swears that the left port is slightly underpowered, leading to all kinds of USB oddities when used, including kernel panics.

Who makes LCDs for Apple Cinema HD displays?

Who makes LCD's for Apple 23-inch Cinema HD displays? I do not think that Apple has its own factory to produce LCD's. I think that Apple buys LCD's from other companies and puts them into Apple Cinema HD displays.
I wonder if either Sharp or NEC makes LCD's for Apple. Does anyone know who makes LCD's for Apple 23-inch Cinema HD displays?

Im using a G5 Duel 2.5. I have been trying to use a 42" LCD that supports 1388x768 resolution. My problem is that resolution is much to small for may audio application. Do you know of any work arounds to force an increase in resolution on the LCD side? Possibly a direct box or software that will shrink the windows and allow more information on the screen..[email protected]

Cinema HD Display no longer comes on immediatley when G5 turned on

My 23" Cinema HD display no longer comes on immediately when I turn my computer on. The screen stays blank for a few minutes, until I press a button on the keyboard. When the screen finally comes on, the set up for a blue tooth keyboard is displayed. I have the keyboard plugged into the monitor. It has been working fine for the past 8 months. Has anyone seen this before? Do I have to schlep this whole thing to the Apple store for repair?

How do you resolve this? I have the same issue. No power when usb is plugged in. Replaced power adaptor and it didn't help. Just blank screen. Seems like these monitors should hold up better then this.

Mac Mini not displaying on two screens - was fine, but now it is not!

Hello,
At my work we have a Mac Mini running Keynote with videos and various slides looping round, displaying on a LG 42" LCD screen in our display window. On the other side of the window - the bit the public does not see - is a monitor to start the presentations and run the computer.
This was working fine, running both screens simultaneously. However recently, it had to be turned off to carry out some work in the display area, and a few days later upon setting it up again its not working with both screens.
The mini boots up and will run fine @ 1024 x 768 60hz on the inside monitor. This is connected to the mini DVI port, with a DVI to VGA adapter. However, when I plug in the LG 42" LCD at the same time (Connected via the mini display port, to an HDMI connector/adapter, the monitor will change to display an "out of range" message, while the LG will display as normal.
I really need both screens running simultaneously as they were before! Nothing has changed in the setup and both screens will run fine by themselves, so I know that they are functioning correctly.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
Any thoughts

It sounds like perhaps the displays got set to mirror mode somehow. This means both displays are trying to display the same thing instead of working independently as you want them to.
Which screen is set to primary, e.g. which one shows the menu bar when both are active? Are you able to get into Displays preferences and make changes? If so, I would check the mirror setting.
Something else that may be worth trying is to start the mini in Safe mode with both displays connected. Hopefully the result will be useable screens on both displays. If so, go into Displays preferences and set the respective displays to the desired setting and restart normally. The selections made under Safe mode should persist through a normal restart.

Can 23" cinema HD Display support Game systems connectivity

I currently have my display connected to my MacBook but space is a factor at my dorm. Can I use my Apple 23" Cinema HD Display to connect my xbox 360? I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter but i get no picture. i also have a xbox VGA cable if i need to go that route. I figure digital to digital should give me a better picture, the an analog to digital. Can my 23" Cinema HD Display support game system connectivity or these older display were meant for Mac's Only?

followup question... Does the 23" cinema HD Display support HDCP? Could that be the cause for a blank screen. the power light is solid. I when to Display settings and lower resolution on the monitor, still no picture?

New to Mac: my monitor using Windows was fine; I'm having problems now

I'm trying to figure out if the basic problem is that I need a monitor designed for a Mac vs PC: I have a new Westinghouse monitor, 1024x768x60, that worked fine w/PC. I've flailed around with both the Mac Display & the physical monitor display settings.
Basically the issue that I didn't experience w/PC is that the fonts are really small (eg, Mail) -- not WYSIWYG, even tho the Mac stuff is large (eg: To, Cc, menus, etc.). Also, the display (again, not the Mac stuff) is blurry (eg, what I'm typing here).
Since the whole point of the Mac Mini is that I wouldn't needlessly replicate my fairly new monitor & keyboard & mouse, I'm trying to understand how to maximize my existing hardware (I've already given up & am replacing my fairly new keyboard & mouse).
Thanks for any help. Must add, the mac has eliminated my existing PC problems.

George,
I've also struggled with getting my monitor (Viewsonic VX2245wm 1600x1050) to work seemlessly with my Mini. The Mini wouldn't always detect the monitor and I would get a non-native resolution that would look stretched or fuzzy when I restarted or woke-up the Mini. That was if I didn't get a blank screen with a "no signal" message.
I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but here are the steps I followed most recently to get the Mini to recognize the monitor and provide the native resolution required (caveat - I'm not an expert, but this is what I've pieced together through reading other posts and following advice given to me in regard to questions I've posted. There are a many more knowledgable people that might chime-in so take my recommendations/explanations with a grain of salt. And as far as I can tell, you won't break anything following these steps):
1. Use Finder to search for a couple plist files with the term windowserver in the title (use windowserver as a search term). One will have alphnumeric characters. Here are examples from my Mini:
com.apple.windowserver.0016cba959d1.plist
com.apple.windowserver.plist
Apparently, these files store display related preferences and can cause erratic display behavior. Move these files to the trash and empty the trash. They'll be recreated when you restart your Mini. (search other posts for this and you'll find more details....it's a commonly recommended step for fixing display behavior)
2. Shut down the Mini and reset the PMU. Search the support pages and discussion board for the exact steps.
3. Reset the PRAM when restarting (after following the steps to reset the PMU). You'll find the exact steps in the Apple support section. Just search on PRAM.
4. Use finder to search for your windowserver plist files to confirm that new ones were in fact created according to the date/time stamp.
When I restarted my Mini after following these steps the Mini was recognizing the display as indicated by the presence of the monitor type at the top of the Displays window in System Preferences. I had to try these steps a couple times to get the Mini to recognize the display (maybe I screwed up somewhere the first time), but since then it's been working flawlessly which is nice because the monitor behavior was driving me nuts.
Again, I'm not an expert and you may get different recommendations or better explanations regarding exactly how these steps reset the display preferences, but I don't think the above mentioned steps will cause any problems outside of possibly resetting the time to some default.
One other option I'm exploring is an application called SwitchResX which apparently allows you to manually control the display settings and add resolutions not provided by the Mini. Haven't had to resort to that since going through the steps above.
Good luck and please share your results if you follow the steps above as I'm trying to develop a better understanding of what else I might try should the problem surface again.

Stand-by button on Cinema HD display doesn't work after Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi,
After I upgraded my Mac mini (spring '09) to Mountain Lion it appears that the buttons on the side of my Cinema HD display doesn't work. There is a setting in sys preferences that should put the Mac in stand-by when the power button is pressed. This doesn't work after I upgraded to OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Does anyone have similar experience. Anyway to fix it?
Thanks,
Henrik

Cinema HD Display 23" problem with Mountain Lion

I have a MacBookPro 13 Late 2011 with Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory normally connected to a Cinema HD Display 23". I had no problem when running Lion but right after installing Mountain Lion, the Display goes wrong and nothing works properly, need to force shut down the mac. Any idea how to resolve this?

Here's two interesting articles:

How Does Temperature Affect LCD Displays on Calculators?
Perhaps the effects are (more) noticible around the edge because its, well, the edge. Just a thought.
