New 24" Cinema Monitor

I'm about to install a new 24" cinema monitor and my "IT" person says I may need to get a different video processor. My current:
ATI Radeon 9600 XT:
Chipset Model: ATY,RV360
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4152
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A13602-121
Anyone know if I'm ok as-is? I know I need an adapter cord. I'm on a PowerMac G5 OS X 10.5.6. I think it'll be fine.

Your computer has a Mini DisplayPort. I don't know what the display port is on your other monitor. My information says a standard DVI port. If so then you can get a DVI cable and put a DVI to Mini DisplayPort adaptor on the computer end of the cable.

I'm trying to connect my 30" Cinema Display to my new Mac Pro along with a new Apple 23'" monitor. The new Apple monitor is fine. On the cinema monitor everything is blown up pretty large. Any ideas on how to solve this?

The 30" display needs a DUAL-LINK adapter.

Apple TV not working with new 23" cinema display

OK so I finally found a functional use for my new Apple TV, which has been sitting unused in my living room. My MacBook Pro already connects to the HD projector in there, so Mac TV is just less functionality and redundant.
I decided the only use I have for a keyboardless Mac interface for just music, podcasts, photos, and videos is the bathtub.
Being the Mac fanboy that I am, I wanted the solution to be all Apple.
So I headed down to my local Apple Store with the intention of buying a new 23" Cinema Display for my Apple TV and an iPod HiFi for the sound. I was dismayed to see them showing off the Apple TV on Sony LCD TVs. Why wouldn't Apple want to sell people a triple-play package and have it set up as a demo? After all, they weren't selling the Sony TVs anyway.
But my first sign of trouble was the very nice store employee who didn't know if the Apple TV would work on a cinema display. But he definitely wanted to find out when I got home. Searching here, I found posts that seem to confirm that it would work, but the actual source is related to an older ADC cinema display, not the new ones.
I set everything up and used a Toslink-minijack adapter to run the optical digital audio from the Apple TV to the iPod Hifi. I used an HDMI-DVI-D adapter to connect the cinema display to the Apple TV. I powered it all up.
I got the white Apple logo on the screen, then everything went black. I used the Menu and + keys on the remote for 6 seconds to cycle through the resolutions. Still all black. I used the Menu and - keys on the remote to reset to factory settings. Again booted into blackness.
Interestingly, while using the + and - keys on the Apple TV remote, the iPod HiFi volume was lowered and raised simultaneously with the moving of the menu selections in Apple TV (I could hear the clicks). What this means is, 2 remotes, each paired to each device, will be needed for proper operation. This is why having too simple a remote is lame.
At this point I am dead in the bathtub water. I drop more money on Apple than it costs to get a new iMac (which is plan B) just so I can give the Apple TV a shot in my bathroom. But it all doesn't fit seemlessly together on first try.
Any suggestions? Could the HDMI-DVI-D adapter be blocking the HDCP signal needed to display an image? Is DVI-D the wrong adapter to use? Any help is appreciated.

I've not been convinced a monitor will work with the tv, but I have to accept the word of those that have had success. I'm not so certain that a monitor is a suitable first choice, maybe if you have one lying around OK, but to buy one instead of a tv is not only a very expensive alternative but even if it works you will have no way of controlling the brightness etc.

Possibly, Did you ever manage to repeat getting the apple logo or indeed anything even if only for a few seconds. DVI-D or DVI-I would be the right connector, don't use a DVI-A

How best to get my vga Powermac G4 connected to my new dvi Cinema Display?

Hi Folks,
My new 23" Cinema Display has arrived. That's the good news. Of course I checked Apple's site before the purchase, to be sure the new monitor would work with my very old G4. As soon as I saw the line under System Requirements where it said "G4 or G5 Powermac or Powerbook", I thought I was covered. Now I find MY G4 has a vga connector and not a dvi. Thereby hangs the bad news.
Does anyone make a pci-based video card that will let me connect to the Cinema display? Should I be looking into one of the vga-to-dvi boxes that Gefen Inc. makes? Other strategies?
Many thanks,
Rod

The ATI Radeon 9200 PCI card with 128MB VRAM has a DVI and VGA port IIRC. If you still have the original Rage 128 in a PCI G4 (Yikes G4) then it wouldn't support the monitor without an upgrade anyway, the 23" requires at least 64MB VRAM (maybe even 128MB) IIRC.

Clear Cinema Monitor & Mac Mini

I have what I assume is a stupid question, but better safe than whatever. Is there any issue with hooking up the older clear cinema monitors to a mac mini (I assume all mac mini's are intel based)? I need a replacement monitor, but don't want to buy new because I'm planning on buying a new imac within the next year. Thanks for any guidance provided for the clueless.

If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

I have a one year old Macbook Air 13. I have a brand new 22" external monitor. When I connect my external monitor it initially provides a nice display - very accurate and no distortions. But, within a few minutes the screen begins a incessant series

I have a one year old Macbook Air 13. I have a brand new 22" external monitor. In turning the Macbook and monitor on, the monitor displays very well, but within a few minutes it begins this incessant blinking (temporary black out of the screen that lasts anywhere from 1-5 seconds). This has been going on for a long time (it also happended with my older monitor which apparantly I threw out when I should have kept it thinking it was the problem). From reading various blogs in the Apple support community, this appears to be a widespread problem, but I don't find a solution, only a lot of speculation. I'm very surprised the Apple folks haven't figured this out. As a new Apple user, heretofor, I have been very impressed with the support and effort to get fixes out to users. This, however, has me frustrated to the point of junking my Mac and going back to a PC. I love the Macbook Air and most of the functionality, but I cannot function without an external monitor. Anybody have any ideas, please help. Frustrated, Jim

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

I just bought a new samsung 22" monitor and after talking to them found out it needs higher resolution then displayed in my settings,text resolution is bad. do I take back or can this be fixed?

I just bought a new Samsung 22" monitor. The text resolution is really bad. After talking to Samsung, I found that the needed resolution is higher then what my Mini-Mac shows available. Can this be fixed or do I return the monitor?

Let's try again...
my cable goes from the "Thunderball" port on my mini with an adaptor to convert it to the regular cable
You mean the Thunderbolt port.
What Mac mini do you have? Apple menu > About This Mac.
What Samsung monitor do you have?
What cables are you using?
Have you tried holding Option and click the Scaled resolutions button in System prefs > Displays?

Will my MBA work with the new LED Cinema Display

I have a first generation MBA, model identifier MBA 1.1, and want to know if my mini display adapter will work with the new LED Cinema Display. I believe I have a micro-DVI that is different from the new MacBooks and MacBook Professional models that have a new Mini DisplayPort. If anyone is using this old MBA to new LED Cinema Display combination please let me know.

Scott,
The new display isn't shipping from Apple until some time in November so the only direct feedback you'll get is from anyone that's been to the store and played with the demo unit.
With that being said, it would appear (based on the system specs and requirements, posted on the site) that the new display requires the new adapter type that's found only on the new MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

How do you change the location of a cinema monitor?

the cinema monitor comes expecting to be located to the left of the computer - images flow to the left from the computer onto the monitor. From the monitor they flow to the right onto the computer.
How do you reverse this if you need to have the monitor located to the right of the computer?
G5 plus cinema monitor Mac OS X (10.4.1)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

The left to right orientation is not changeable. For
example, there is no way to have the menu bar
reversed so that the "Apple" menu icon is on the
right instead of the left. Nor is there any way to
have a finder window with the sidebar on the right.
However, you can place your dock on the right edge of
the display and move your HD icons to the left.
Windows will usually open in the location they were
in when you closed them.
Thanks for the help, but I think I was not clear with my original question (above). What I was trying to say was, when I slide a window from the G5 to the cinema monitor, the window always exits the G5 from the G5's left side and enters the cinema monitor from the monitor's right side. Since the monitor is located to the right of the G5, this is disconcerting.
Is it possible to arrange things so one can move a window off the G5 from its right side - to the right - and then have it move into the monitor on the monitor's left side? This would be the "expected" behavior of the image. While the arrangements option in displays exchanges the roles of the G5 and the monitor, as it were, it doesn't solve the problem.

Have new Apple Display Monitor

I have a new Apple Display Monitor with new Thunderbolt cable. I currently have a MacBook Pro with older Mini DVI port. Is there an adapter for going from TB to DVI?

No - you MUST have a Thunderbolt port on your Mac in order to work with the Apple Thunderbolt Display.
Sorry,

How can I get rid of a small "thread" in the lower right corner of my new 27" Cinema Display?

I recently acquired a new 27" Cinema display. Yesterday I noticed a small thread like piece of debris under the glass on the lower right side of the display. Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of it? Take it to the Apple Store? Return it for a replacement (which might have the same issue).

HDCP error with new HDCP compliant monitor

I just bought a new Asus VE228H monitor. I have a ATI Radeon HD 4200, HDCP compliant video card and I am running Windows 7 and iTunes 12.1.1.4. Even though the new monitor is HDCP compliant, I still get an HDCP error in iTunes. I replaced the cable with a new HDMI cable and I still get the error. I have tried searching online for a solution, but haven't found a solution. Thanks in advance for your help.

SUCCESS ....... for now ......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have now got my atv2 unit to power back on - and we can play the rented SD movie which is playing now to a happy family....
No HDCP error message appeared this time.
This what we did to fix our issues....
1) Pressed the HDMI cable more firmly into the HDMI port into TV - this allowed the ATV2 to actually show/reappear onto the tv panel.
2) Plugged both power leads for TV and ATV DIRECTLY into wall. (Previously, we had both AC leads plugged into a 4x multi power board and had this plugged into the wall.
We started the SD movie and no HDCP error appeared and movie is still playing as i type...
Now, to repeat this error/diagnostic, we then plugged the TV power lead back into the 4 x multi power board and plugged the board back into the wall. Immediately, the dreaded HDCP error re-appeared. We then replugged TV back into wall directly and no HDCP error message.
Hypothesis #1 :
Now, this 4 x multi power board also had our DVD player and stereo connected to it. Perhaps our DVD (potential recording device) was being detected and hence the HDCP barrier came up so that we were not able to record this movie.... just a hunch but sounds plausible.....
Hypothesis #2 :
Also, this 4 x multi power board was within immediate vacinity of the ATV2 unit. Possible interference.....
When the 'dust' settles and the family finishes watching the movies, (1 x HD , 1 x SD), i will plug the 4 x multi power board into another AC wall socket way out of the way of the ATV2 unit (around 4m) and try to repeat this error to validate my hypotheses - noted above.
I will report findings later in around 6 hours...
thanks for your help people...

Using cinema monitor with top closed

A MBP C2D is driving a 30 inch Apple HD cinema monitor with the top closed.
USB KB and mouse connected to the MBP. OS 10.4.9.
Can use the power button on the display to switch from sleep (MBP sleep light pulses) to normal operation (sleep light steady on at medium). Sleep light behavior is not discussed in the MBP User Guide when using these conditions.
Can see no indication the MBP display is on.
So is this all normal behavior? And the best way to undertake daily operation when want only the 30 inch monitor as my display.
?

Personally, I would leave the screen lid cracked open a bit for cooling purposes. Air is drawn in through the keyboard to aid in cooling.

Illustrator keeps freezing after plugging in a new Dell U2715H monitor?

I just bought a new Dell U2715H monitor and ever since plugging it in Illustrator keeps freezing. It works for roughly 5-10 minutes then freezes. I just removed Illustrator CC and reinstalled so let's hope that works. Anybody else have this issue? What can I do to fix this problem?
I'm running a MacBook Pro Retina 15", Mid 2014
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

A fresh copy of Illustrator has seemed to fix this freeze.

Will a cinema monitor override my MBP resolution?

I have an old 17" MacBook Pro with 1920x1200 res maximum.
I want a higher resolution so I can do crisper screen shots.
If I hook up my MBP to a cinema monitor (2560x1440 resolution) will that monitor override my MBP resolution?
I thought that you cannot override the resolution of a laptop.
I just went to the apple store and saw how much better a screen shot is on their monitors with higher res. They told me I might be able to get a comparable quality by using a cinema monitor on my old MBP
Does that make sense?
Kate

-I will need to reset the desktop to appear on my laptop before I unplug and walk away with my laptop (since the toolbar wil not be accessible on the lap top if it is not mirrored)
When you disconnect the external display, the "extended desktop" becomes smaller. Anything left on the "other" display is moved so that it is on the remaining display.
No need to re-arrange anything manually.
You can move the MenuBar to either display.
You can place tools palettes on either display, or drag them back and forth.
You can drag windows so that half is on each display, and when you scroll, both halves are adjusted appropriately. "It just works."
You do not necessarily need a huge Apple display -- any modern Monitor-quality display will work. (A TV set is NOT a Monitor.)
You can ask them to demo this for you at the Apple Store -- that is what the Apple Store is all about -- take your computer and try it!
