Need to extend my DVI cable from my Mac pro to my Apple 23" cinema display

I need to extend my existing DVI cable to the maximum allowed distance (without using a repeater) of 3m or 15'. This means I need a 12 foot extension cable Male to Female. I don't need to extend the USB or Firewire ports.
I've searched the threads and seen discussions but am interested in feedback from someone who has actually done the extension and is happy with the outcome.
I understand that the 23" monitor can use a single link cable and that the interface is DVI-I. Anyone tried this?
Many thanks for the help!!
Mac Pro, 2.66GHz, 4GB mem, 2TB storage   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

The graphics board has a DVI-I port, but since the Apple display only uses the digital signals, you can use a digital only cable, which might be a bit cheaper. Take a look at the female connector on the cable, though. Make sure it has holes for all the pins on the display's plug. The plug may have the analog pins, even though it doesn't use them.

  • Cant hear audio using an hdmi cable from my MacBook Pro to an HDTV

    i'm trying to watch video and streaming video from my McBook Pro on an HDTV via an HDMI cable.  i can see the video but there is no sound.  help?

    What year was your Mac made, IE what Model year is it and what model is it?
    With newer Macs all you need is a good Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter, I know the Griffin model work as I have one, and a HDMI cable.
    If a Retina model that has a HDMI out port then you don't need any adapters of any kind. Just a cable from HDMI to HDMI ports on Mac and TV.
    Once you have a good adapter, if you need one, and the cable is connected to the TV go into System Preferences and the Sound Applet and there should be an option in the Output section for HDMI. Enable that and the sound will be sent over the HDMI cable to the TV.
    If you have an older Mac computer then you may need to use a separate cable from the Mac headphone out port to a Line In port on the TV

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.)  I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

    Downloaded your operating manual.  It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection).  The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
    Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
    I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
    Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common.  In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
    Update:
    You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?).  The manual is not clear on this (page 31).  Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

  • What connector is on the Apple 20" Cinema Display, DVI-I or DVI-D?

    Sorry if this is a noob question, i just have never bothered to clarify this fact before. I have an Apple 20in Cinema display. Is the DVI connector on it a DVI-I or DVI-D type. I'm not sure what the difference is but there is obviously one so i figured i'd ask.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi 30inch-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    To extend the cable on the ACD, a cable such as that which Gefen offers will serve the purpose. At issue with the 30", is the dual link requirement. As well, with all ACD's, the USB connection is important. The firewire is for convenience, more than anything, but is included in the cable set from Gefen.
    The booster that is included, is important to keep signal strength, and maintain picture clarity over the distance of the cable.
    With distances of less than 10', one might get by with a quality dual link DVI-D (or DVI-I) connected cable, though the issue of signal strength may be a performance limiting factor. The picture quality and monitor performance from a passive (non-boosted) cable, will be determined by the strength, or weakness of the graphics card.

  • I want to transfer files from my Mac Pro top Mac Air. i'M WRITING A BOOK SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT, WHICH IS ON PAGES, COMES ALONG AND IS IN TACT. iS THIS HARD TO DO FOR A SLIGHTLY ELDERLY PERSON WHO WANTS IT DONE RIGHT AND SO THAT I CAN GET TO WORK

    I am buying an Apple Air and want to transfer files including a book I am writing on Pages.
    I am not very tech savy. I have been told, however, by a number of friends I can save $1000 and do this myself.
    I don't mind giving it a whirl, but i don';t want to loose anything in the transfer, And, I was hoping this was a fairly quick, fool-proof, process.
    I have looked into this a bit and was wondering if I need two (2) Ethernet cables? That is,one from the Mac Pro to the Ethernet and one from the Apple Air to the Ethernet? Or, is it one just one cable to the Ethernet? And, if so, from the Apple Pro or the Apple Air to the Ehternet?
    I'm assuming a dsiplay box appears on either or both of the notebooks? Perhaps prompting you to transfer everthing you have on the Apple Pro hard drive to the
    the Apple Air hard drive? Or, to selection files? Dumb question: I assume my book, which is written on Pages is on The Apprle Pro hard drive? Correct? Or is it on a file folder separately?
    I appreciate any feedback yuou may have.
    Again, is it striaghtforward and easy to accomplish?
    Thanks,
    -Larry

    The following may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872
    Note that the MacBook Air does not have an ethernet port so you can either use wi-fi if you have that, or you can buy an ethernet adpater such as: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC704ZM/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter or you could use an external disk.
    Also, if you took it to a local shop that specializes in Macs the cost shouldn't be anywhere near $1000 for them to assist. More like $100 and could even be free if they sell Macs and you buy the new one there.

  • No video on Mac Pro 266 + 20" Apple Cinema Display + ADC to DVI Adapter

    When I boot my Mac Pro, I don't get a video signal. I currently have a 20" Apple Cinema Display (clear case) connected via an ADC to DVI adapter. I have connected the monitor/adapter on a Powerbook G4 wihout any issues, which rules out the monitor. I've tried everything: resetting PRAM/NVRAM, motherboard reset button, unplugging everything...nothing works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you guys using the ADC to DVI adapter or the DVI to ADC adapter?
    I have a clear 23" cinema display and I was thinking of getting a new Mac Pro... From what I can tell, you need the DVI to ADC adapter that sells for $100+. Is that correct?

  • Can I install the ddr2 pc5300 memory from my Mac Pro 1,1 in a Mac Pro 3,1 that requires ddr2 pc6400?

    I have replaced a Mac Pro 1,1 with a used Mac Pro 3,1. I am trying to canibalize as much as I can. Will the slower RAM from the 1,1 work in the 3,1? Dare I just stick it in and try, or might I cause damage?

    I don't quite understand. I do plan to try installing the old ddr2 pc5300 667 from my Mac Pro 1,1 into my Mac Pro 3,1 one pair at a time, just to confirm each pair is in working order and happy in its new home. I have 8x2 GB of RAM I hope to move.
    I am uncertain what you have said from there. Yes, the cost would be cheap, free in fact! Is this what you meant? You had suggested buying 667 from Amazon, or similar -- but I don't need. And you have made the point that 8 DIMMs is beneficial--which I will have covered. (great tip)
    I think what I am most uncertain about is the comment about what will run cooler. Maybe you mean if I purchased newer memory, the design has become more efficient, so the expense is worth considering?
    Thanks in advance!
