MacBook Pro W/30-inch Cinema Display

Is there a working solution for this yet? is it possible to use the 30 inch or even a 23 inch?
If so how?

Let me better word the question.
Can Windows XP Support the 30 inch cinema display at full resolution like in can in leopard via boot camp? Or a 23 Inch?
Thanks

Mid 2009 13" MacBook pro mini-dp to Cinema Display screen jumps from blue to desktop

I'm using a kanex brand iAdapt mini-dp to dvi adapter to connect my macbook pro to my 23" cinema display from early 2007, but it seems like the macbook is having trouble recognizing that the display is connected. The screen will go blue for a second, then show the desktop, then go back to blue. it repeats like this for as long as the adapter is plugged in.
I've gotten the screen to connect properly twice, but as soon as I unplug my laptop and try to plug it back in another day, I run into the same issue as before. I've seen other discussions about screen flickering, but this isn't really a flicker. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, though it seems likely that this has happened before.
Any solutions? Thanks!

You can use USB for the Apple trackpad.

Is it possible to have the lid open on a MacBook Pro connected to a Cinema Display and have the Mac display blank with the Cinema in highest definition?

Hi,
Create a play list that you wish to burn. Select playlist, the file from main menu which gives to an option to burn the playlist. A pop up box appears allowing you to select burn speed and disc format.

MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display RAM Failure?

Hi there!
I just bought a new MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display on Christmas at an Apple Retail Store, and I was experiencing some lag. The lag occurred when creating simple graphical animations, like swiping to reveal Mission Control. So I took it in. The diagnostics were fine, so they said that they'd try and repair it. After a few days, I got a call and they told me that I have bad RAM. And being a computer freak, I understand that it is part of the lo-bo. Now they have to order an entirely new logic board, and I have to wait even longer.
For $1700, that was disappointing. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Well, I was told that nobody in the Apple Retail Store had seen this specific problem before. I couldn't find anything on the Internet either. I wanted to know if there was someone else who's MacBook Pro with 13-inch Retina Display's Hynix RAM slowed down graphical performance, because it sounds odd. I am aware that defects are common, but this seems, again, particularly queer.

Will 2008 macbook pro work with 27" cinema display?

November macbook pro 13"
will this work seamlessly with new cinema diaplay?
also - how come it's not HD but 30" is? thanks.

I am using and enjoying my 27" Cinema Display with my October 2008 MacBook Pro 5,1. The display is breathtaking and its operation with my computer is flawless. I strongly recommend that you consider getting an Apple external keyboard and Magic Trackpad to use with your MBP and Cinema Display.
If you have a MBP 5,1 as your post indicates, it has both a 9400M and a 9600M GT GPU, not a 9200M.

MacBook Pro compatibility with old Cinema display

This subject has come up in other posts, but I didn't find my problem. We've just purchased a new 15in MacBook Pro 240/4/320, OS 10.6.4. I want to connect it to a circa 1999, 22" Apple Cinema Display, M5662. This has two connectors, a USB and DVI. I have the DVI adapter to Mini Display port. Nothing shows up at all on the Cinema display with this connected. The display works just fine with an older MacBookPro 1,1 (Intel Core Duo) running on OS X 10.5.8; this hook-up has a direct DVI plug. Apple support thinks its an incapability problem and doesn't really offer any else...they don't support them anymore. Any suggestions?

Hi Larry!
I know it seems like a silly question, but I believe these older displays had a fancy protocol in the DVI cable that allowed them to power-on automatically when you turned the computer on. This may not be supported through the adaptor. Have you tried touching the small power button area on the front right corner of the display bezel?

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.

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.

MacBook Pro wont recognize 23" Cinema Display

I am trying use my macbook pro with its lid closed while connected to my 23" cinema display. However, when I wake up the system with a mouse, the cinema display will wake up (without the menu bar and dock) but after a few seconds, go right back to sleep. What is the problem?
I can use the macbook pro screen and cinema display screen together as a dual display just fine.

What happens if you shut the MBP down, connect it to the ACD, open the lid on the MBP only long enough to press the power button and then immediately close the lid? That should cause the system to start up with only the ACD active. See if that works.

Can I use a 19" LG monitor with a MacBook pro 13" and 24"cinema display

I would like to buy a new 13" mac book pro and 24" cinema display but would also like to use my existing 19" LG display to extend my destop space. Can it be done effectively and what kit do I need?
Thanks

All a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
Gives me a backache just looking at those people

Powering on Macbook Pro While Connected to Cinema Display

Is this possible? Right now I have to power up my Macbook Pro, close it to get into clamshell mode, then connect it to the display. Any way I can just connect it to the monitor then power it on?

{quote}Any way I can just connect it to the monitor then power it on?{quote}
Yes. If you want clamshell mode connect the display, hit the power button, and close the lid. For both displays leave the lid open.

MacBook Pro 2011 Connected to Cinema Display Issues

Started out as occasionally and now more often! When the laptop is plugged into the cinema display it occassionally will turn off or freeze completely. The only solution seems to be restarting the the laptop its self. Any ideas? We've already brough the display in and nothing could be recreated (of course)
Anyone had these issues?
