Macbook to studio display, which lead?

what lead do i need to run my old apple 17" studio display from my macbook? mini-dvi vga female to male blah blah blah....spell it out for an idiot!
thanks in advance.

The 17" Apple Studio Display probably has an "ADC" connector on it. So, you will need two adapters to connect your MacBook to this kind of display.
1. Mini DVI to DVI Adapter
2. Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter

Connect MacBook with Studio Display Monitor (2000)

I am trying to connect my MacBook with an old Studio Display monitor (made in 2000) that has an ADC 30 Male cord. I have a Mini-DVI to DVI 24 Female Adapter that fits into my laptop. I can't seem to find a DVI 24 Male to ADC 30 Female adapter, which is what appears I need. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Thanks!

20" studio display & AGP G4

i bought a 20" flat panel LCD acrylic studio display and can't get it to work with my power mac G4 AGP "sawtooth". i have the display hooked via DVI to ADC adapter like i did with my 17" flat panel LCD acrylic studio display, which worked fine. the 20" starts, i see the gray screen and the little gear is spinning as the system starts up but then it goes black and turns off. this is the second 20" display to do this so i do not think both displays are defective. any ideas whats wrong?

What resolution setting do you have on the G4? It might not be compatible with the monitor.

Can I use Final Cut Studio 2 on the latest macbook pro retina display?

I'm planning on buying the 15" macbook pro retina display and was given Final cut studio 2 from a friend as he woudn`t use it.
is it possible to install this program on the computer at all and successfully use it or can i upgrade to the newest version?

Studio 2? FCP 6? No. Sorry, won't even install. It's 8 year old software...and Apple no longer supports it.
The latest version, FCP-X...costs $299. There is no upgrade cost. But once you buy it, every single update after that is free...given the history of past updates. Note...it's very different from FCP 6. Completely different app.

Is the studio display an exact mirror of the macbook pro?

Hello,
When an Apple Studio display 24-inch is connected to a Macbook pro, is the screen (picture) on the studio display an exact mirror of your Macbook or can one have an entirely different picture on your studio display.
As an example: Can I have Photoshop CS4 fully open on my Macbook Pro and excel spreadsheet/word documents fully open on the studio display? If so, is there additional hardware/software for this.

As I understand, can I have the display and MacBook Pro open at the same time, use different programs respectively, and still use the MacBook Pro's keyboard. Am I correct.
Yes. You can drag windows to the desired screen (or with many applications, even spread a window across both). The only thing you can't do is have the menu bar or dock on both displays at once. When run in full screen mode, some applications (such as QuickTime Player) will blank the other display. Others, such as Mplayer, can run full screen on one display and let you do other work on the other display.

Using a studio display with MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro and an older 17" Studio Display with a DVI-D male connector. What do I need to drive the studio display from my MBP? And where do I get them?

Your MBP has unusual symptoms. I suggest starting with an Apple Hardware Test:

You may need to start it with the OPTION and D keys.
It may be helpful if you indicated the model of your MBP and the OS.
Ciao.

Strange Problem on my 17" Studio Display

Ok, just to get the specs out of the way - 2 17" Apple Studio Displays, both connected with ADC to DVI adapters to a Dual Core 2.3 PowerMac G5, running OSX 10.4.7, 2.5 GB RAM.
Saturday night we had a VERY bad storm - my wife and I were out when it hit, and my computer was on. I wasn't too worried as both displays and the tower are running off of a UPS/Surge Protector.
By the time we made it home, the battery backup had run out of juice and the system was shut down. We were out of power for about 12 hours. When the power came back up on Sunday - I booted up my mac.
As the initial Apple logo bootup screen popped up - I knew something was wrong. The background was a dark gray and the apple logo light gray - the opposite of what it is normally.
After the computer finished booting I'm left staring at my 2 displays in amazement. The display on the left looked as if the display had been inverted in the Universal Access Pane, and the right display was perfectly normal.
I can go into the Preference Pane, or use the shortcut CmdOption+Cntrl8, and all this does is flip which display looks normal and which one is inversed. I can't seem to find a way to get them both to display the same.
I've repaired permissions, I've rebooted, I've reset the PRAM, I've trashed preferences, I've scoured the Apple Discussion boards, I've spent hours on Google, I've run hardware tests on my G5, swapped the display outputs on the card to see if it was the video card - but the same display always shows inverted. I've also connected the suspect display to my Powerbook and it does the same thing, which leads me to be pretty certain its an issue with the display - not the CPU. I have no idea what to even try next.
Does ANYONE have any ideas for me to check out? I'm open to anything at this point. I've found a place that sells replacement parts, but have no clue what part I would even go about replacing.

1. Shut down the computer. If you cannot do this because the mouse or keyboard are unresponsive, then hold the power button for ten seconds.
2. Verify that the system is shut down by pressing CAPS LOCK. It should not light.
3. Power-up the system and let it start.
4. If the + key continues to repeat, it is probably a bad keyboard.

Apple Studio Display 19.8" appears out of focus

Display: 1344 X 1008, 100Hz, cols. millions.
Resolution/colours look good, but screen does appear to be slightly out of focus, text a bit fuzzy. Which is no good for a graphic pro.! No its not me and my out of focus glasses! I use an Apple Cinema Display with no probs. I dont have the install CD that came with Studio Display.

So it's attached to a MacBook Pro? How are the two cabled together? What resolution is the MBP sending to the monitor?

Question re: 1920x1200 RGB LED Display and the Macbook Pros LED display.

My question to the Apple guys here is. What type of LED technology is used in the MacBook Pro's LED display?
I just did a side by side with my buddies new 15" MBP and my new DELL Studio 1737 which has a 1920x1200 which has RGB LED display. I had it second day air FEdEx shipped because I was dying to see this new tech.
And did it blow us away, supposedly since its this new RGB LED it displays something around 98% or 110% of the NTSC color gamut very accurate for graphics and photo work.
My buddy almost dropped when we saw the color accuracy and differences with the MBP. And why hasn't Apple adopted this superior technology?

What do you mean they don't have LED its right on the main page.
Read it carefully, it says "Ultrathin 15-inch LED-backlit display." The "LED-backlit display" part means that the backlighting is LED (as opposed to fluorescent), not the display panel itself (which is LCD).
...Dell has the RGB LED backlighting....
The Dell display you referred to is an RGB LED display, it doesn't have (or need) backlighting. It uses red, green and blue light emitting diodes to produce images, as opposed to a liquid crystal display, which uses color filtered backlighting to produce images.
its confusing why Apple has not adopted this new tech to its high end $3,000 MBP 17 models.
Yet. The 17" MBPs are reportedly due for a significant hardware revision next month. In any case, RGB LED displays have their own performance issues when compared to LCD displays, so don't get too excited, and they may not be thin enough to fit Apple's ultrathin design philosophy.
I have no idea what RGB LED was it just seemed better, and boy did it pay off.
I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with Windows Vista.

Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

Mac Mini and 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC)

Is there someone who can tell me if there is a DVI to ADC Adapter to get a Mac Mini to work with the beautiful 17" Studio Display CRT (ADC). Which is an anolog monitor, the adapters i can find work only on LCD (digital) screens.
Please let me know...
Ger

Do NOT buy the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, it does not work with CRT displays.
The 'geniuses' at the Apple store recommended that I buy this adapter. It didn't work. I have since found out (after extensively surfing the web) that I am not the only one who has been recommended to buy this adapter by an Apple 'genius'. However, It is simply not designed to work with the CRT's, it is LCD only.
There is no way to make the ADC 17" CRT studio display work with new non ADC Apple hardware. Apple have simply dismissed it, much to the annoyance of all the customers who had purchased this perfectly respectable display.
If you want to use your Mac Mini you will need to use either a non-Apple display or one of their new displays. Your perfectly functioning CRT is now a doorstop.

DVI to ADC adapter STudio display will not power on when used with Mac mini

I have a Mac mini and I just purchased a used apple 17" CRT studio display. I bought the DVI to ADC Adapter as recommended by my Apple store. When I hook everything up (I have checked and redone this two times) The power light will come on for about a second when presses. When the mini powers up there is a blank dark screen. I would appreciate any ideas on this. thanks!

Hi
unfortunately I think the Apple store have sold you the wrong item.
I'm almost certain the DVI to ADC adapter only works with ADC based flat panel displays. DVI ports can output digital or analogue signals (or a combination of the two). The adapter seems to provide digital, which is why it works with the LCD displays, but not analogue, which is why it doesn't work with the CRT displays.
Confusingly Apple did a 17" Studio display both as a CRT and LCD.
Dr. Bott do a similar adapter but they explicitly state it's not compatible with the 17" CRT.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a solution, as the display has an ADC connector yet I'm not aware of any adapters available that will work.
