Monitor to macbook

I would like to hook up a Macbook Pro to an older monitor (Apple cinema display ADC, M8058). Is
there an adaptor that does this? Not sure what OS yet. This is what the cable from the monitor looks like:
Thanks!

If it has a ThunderBolt port, use Mini DisplayPort to DVI. [The Apple convention on names of adapters is that the computer-end interface is mentioned first, then the display interface].
The ThunderBolt port on the computer is backward-compatible with Mini DisplayPort.

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

Light alcohol cleaners, like what you use for camers lenses, works. Just do not have the soft cloth cleaning pad dripping wet ... dripping wet will allow fluid to get onto internal components.

Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again. I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
1 USB 3.0 upstream port
4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
Thank you!

Have just connected a viewsonic external monitor to macbook pro 10.6.8, had everything up and running fine for about an hour then the macbook quit. No power (ws running off power source) Have I killed my macbook? Help!

Aha, all is good.
I went to Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays

and deleted all SyncMaster.icc files. I did leave behind one SyncMaster file in the home/../Displays which had an old date and I new was ok.
Rebooted, plugged in SyncMaster, and a new icc file was automatically created in the /Library/../Displays folder.

Dual monitors with macbook closed

i am running dual monitors with Macbook Pro and would like for my Macbook to be closed. How do I change that setting?

How do I change that to two separate extended screens.
I don't believe you can. Check with Matrox, but my understanding is that the external monitors running through the Matrox box will always function as a single extended desktop in two parts.
If you do check with Matrox about this, please post back with your findings — I'll be interested to know, whether I'm right or not.

How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
Could anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks.

You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface. You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

I have this monitor (Dell 1707FPt) :http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/1707FPT/EN/index.htm

Triple monitors with Macbook Pro Mid-2014

Despite having three video ports (two Mini DisplayPorts and one HDMI) I can't get three monitors (HP EliteDisplay E231, 1920 x 1080) to work with my brand new Mid 2014 MacBook Pro 15-inch 2.2GHz with the Intel Iris Pro video controller. I've seen videos on youtube of people successfully connecting three monitors to older 2013 MBPs. What am I doing wrong?
I don't understand what the issue is, the Intel Iris Pro can address over 1GB of memory, that's more than enough to drive 6.2 million pixels, and the thunderbolt 2 ports are 20 Gbit/s each!
Multi Stream Transport seems to be broken in Mac OS X. I've also looked at USB 3.0 Video Adapters, but there are no Thunderbolt to USB hubs, and it appears that Apple broke all the drivers for DisplayLink adapters. I've even tried a Matrox triplehead2go dp edition, but even that doesn't work correctly, the matrox controller software won't let me drive all three monitors at 1920x1080.
I have an HP EliteBook 9470m with an Intel HD 4000 that has no problems driving these three monitors.
Seriously, what the ****? All I want is three monitors to work.

Yes that is exactly the configuration I used, these are the cables I purchased from amazon:

Dual monitors on MacBook Pro 15' Mid-2012

I have two Apple HD Cinema Displays (23-inch DVI 2005 model) and I want to connect both them to my MacBook Pro 15' using the MiniDisplayport without any lag. I know my mac only supports up to one monitor and I am currently using a USB to DVI to connect the second monitor to make it an extended desktop. I use my mac in boh clamshell and normal mode and the monitor using the USB to DVI is really laggy. I can't watch YouTube videos or do anything graphic intensive without having my second monitor lag. Is there any solution other than the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Edition that would allow me to connect both my monitors without any lag or issue with graphics.
Note: both my monitors are the older aluminum anti-glare displays, NOT the thunderbolt capable ones.
I'm currently connecting through a MiniDisplay Port to DVI to the first monitor and then a USB to DVI to the second. I am thinking there isn't enough power going to the USB to DVI monitor which makes it lag.
If you have any suggestions or even a possible work around, please let me know

I was expecting an improvement in sound over my 2009 13'' mbp's speakers after buying a new 15'' non retina mbp, but sadly that isn't the case. These are terrible, at best, and i'm wondering if maybe there's a problem if these do actually contain a subwoofer as i'm hearing very little else but treble. It does sound slightly better using bass boost in iTunes' settings, but only marginally.
I usually use a pair of decent headphones for serious listening and I do lots of it being a DJ, but it's nice to take a break during long spells of headphone use and rely on just the internal speakers for preliminary judgement calls when looking for new music.
It's suprising really that my 9 or 10 year old 13'' HP laptop sounded better than my 13'' mbp and now this 15'' model sounds worse than my 13'' mbp. This is pretty much the laptop of choice for DJ's who need lots of storage, but sadly it's headphones only, or external speakers for any listening purposes.

External Monitor on Macbook Pro freezes after deleting old profiles

Environment:
15 inch MacBook Pro, Mid 2010, 2.4 GHz, 8GB, NVIDIA GeForce graphics
Yosemite 10.10.1
External Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 245T running in Extended Mode with the laptop
I have been using the above setup for several years with no issues. Yesterday I did a calibration of the external SyncMaster monitor with Datacolor Spyder3 as I have done many times in the past. The calibration was saved, but an error message flashed by before the file was saved. Checking with the ColorSync utility, the new saved colorspace appeared somewhat smaller than the last one.
I noticed that I had too many old profiles from previous calibrations still there, so I tried cleaning the directory up. I opened System Pref/Display/Color, clicked on an unwanted profile and delete the profile, and reset it to the profile that I wanted. Repeated this a few times and the SyncMaster appeared to be good.
Now I tried the same with the Macbook. Fine, deleted a few profiles but something now messed up the SyncMaster. It colors, including the dock, contorted to an ugly mess. Cursor changed to a spinning wheel, and I could not click or select anything either on the SyncMaster or the Mac. Rebooted, pulling the Syncmaster adapter out of the mac. Everything good, until I plug the Syncmaster back in, and I am back to the spinning wheel.
There must be some way to uninstall, re-install the Syncmaster?
How can I resolve this?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Aha, all is good.
I went to Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
and to home/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
and deleted all SyncMaster.icc files. I did leave behind one SyncMaster file in the home/../Displays which had an old date and I new was ok.
Rebooted, plugged in SyncMaster, and a new icc file was automatically created in the /Library/../Displays folder.
My display works normally, now.

External Monitor for Macbook Pro (Use for Audio)

Hey
Well I have a Macbook Pro and am looking to get an extra monitor because I am an Audio Production major and need the space.
I'm looking for about 20-22 inch range and maybe one that swivels so it is horizontal or vertical.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks
Ryan

Be very careful what you buy, and if at all possible test it with the computer before you buy it. A few times. These things just stop detecting external monitors for no reason sometimes, as well as just refusing to ever detect certain monitors.
Maybe someone here has a set-up that's working for them, that's your safest option.

External monitor for macbook pro

How do I go about connecting my 2006 MacBook Pro to an external monitor?

The one I'm trying right now is a Samsung SyncMaster 191T. I tried several days ago with a Samsung SyncMaster 930B and also the monitor from a Mac desktop. I've had the same issue with all 3 monitors.
Oh man. It should not fail on all three of those monitors, especially the Apple one. There aren't really any steps for you to miss, when you plug in an external monitor it should light up within seconds without having to make adjustments. I hope there isn't anything wrong with your MacBook Pro's video card, but of course that is something that can't be diagnosed easily in a forum.

External monitor for MacBook Pro won't give maximum resolution

I have a MacBook Pro and connected a new 30 inch HP LP3065 with a dual link DVI cable and the highest resolution I can get is 1280 X 800. It should be much higher, at least 1920 X 1200 but I think even higher than that.
I tested the monitor with a G4 laptop (because I didn't have the DVI adapter yet) and it worked fine.
I also tried closing the MacBook Pro (clamshell mode) and reducing the resolution on that screen and still the best I get is 1280 X 800.

I'm wondering if I need this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A
instead of the mini display port to DVI adapter I bought.

External monitor for macbook pro with dead screen

Macbook pro built in 2007 has a dead screen but is otherwise ok. Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs. How can I get the monitor to display my desktop if I can't see the macbook screen?

Connected external monitor displays only the astral starburst screen on all macs.
Then it is working as designed.
By default, the external screen is combined with the built-in screen into an Extended Desktop, as seen in the Arrange tab below. You need to (Gather Windows) to get all controls on all displays, then drag the tiny white MenuBar to the display where you want it to appear. Then things will begin to operate as you expect.
