Older Apple 30" monitor (2005) to a new MacPro cylinder?

I have an Apple 30" monitor connected to my old MacPro G5 tower. If I got a new MacPro could I still use the old monitor?
Thanks,
Kent

I pulled out my Apple Cinema Display 30-inch yesterday and plugged it into a brand new Mac Pro yesterday. Here's what I learned:
1) You'll need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. I used the adapter that Apple sells. The less expensive single link adapter doesn't support the higher resolution displays so won't work with the 30-inch display.
2) When the Dual Link adapter is connected the USB cable on the adapter must be connected to your Mac Pro or you will not get any video. I know, I had that issue. :-)
Apple only sold one model of the 30-inch display, and it shipped with its own white 150 watt power adapter. The 30-inch display has a DVI connection. The ADC hybrid connector incorporatee power, USB, and video signals into one connector and was used on several older Apple displays including the 23-inch crystal clear housing display. That might be the display Grant is thinking of.

HT204053 how can i delete an older apple ID and only use the new one?

how can I delete an old Apple account and transfer it to a new one?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer.

Anybody using MOTU PCI 424e card for 2408 with new MacPro Cylinder?

I upgraded my older Mac PRO tower which accepted multiple PCI 424e cards for the new Mac Pro cylinder. I purchased from Magma their Express card cage with Thunderbold output in anticipation. Computer arrived and I removed the card and inserted into the card cage, directed audio to the card but no go. iTunes, for example freezes when the card is selected. My MOTU Digital Performer also does not allow Analog in or out with the card.
I have contacted MOTU, they do not have a solution. Magma, the card cage manufacturer has not come back with a solution. Apple suggested visiting these forums for possible ideas.
My studio is dead in the water until I solve this OR I need to go back to the slower old MacPro.
Thanks in advance.

Did you install the FCS suite onto the new computer by using the original disks?
You should. Don't forget to run all updates, repair permissions and restart.
Or did you migrate the applications from the older Mac? You should not do this.

Connecting my G4 iBook to an older Apple flatscreen

The LCD on my older G4 iBook is broken but I have an older Apple flatscreen monitor. what adpters do I need to use my laptop as a desktop?

If that screen has a VGA input it is easy. You only need the Apple VGA Display Adapter (M8639G/A).
If the display only has a DVI input, you will need an expensive VGA to DVI converter.

Monitor purchasing advice for a MacPro owner.

Hello everyone!
I want to purchase a new Apple 27" Display. Obviously I would like to buy a Thunderbolt display as it seems the LED display will be on its way out as soon as a TB MacPro is released. When they do release a MacPro with TB I am planning on buying one as I'm way past due on an update.
If I buy the TB display today I have no way of connecting it to my current MacPro. My MacPro has a DVI connection. From what I see there is no way to connect a TB display to my Mac since it doesn't support TB. So means I have no option but to buy the LED version of the monitor and run an adapter (like the Atlona AT-DP400) since my MacPro only has 2 DVI ports.
Once again, here's where the problem arises. When they do release a MacPro with TB (keeping my fingers crossed there will be one out late next year), how will I be able to use this LED monitor? I run a duel-monitor set-up. If I buy a TB monitor next year with the new Macpro I won't be able to use it since from what I understand you cannot plug the LED monitor into the back of the TB monitor and expect it to work.
So what to do? What is the best buying advice you could give someone in my situation? I had one of my 23" Cinema Displays die on me so I'm in the market for a display right away. I do Graphic Design so color is very important (so I don't want to buy a used 23" to get me by till a new MacPro is released since the color does degrade as time goes by.)
Also, what are your thoughts on a new MacPro? I know Apple stated they have something planned for late next year. Would it be rediculous to hope that it has 2 TB ports where I could plug a TB display into one and the LED into the other? Or is that just impossible as TB is suppose to be used as a daisychain? I don't know too much about TB. This is where opinions are welcome as I know that nobody knows what Apple has in store for the new MacPro.
I'm frazzled and want to make sure I spend my $999 wisely. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

That would be fantastic, I'll keep my fingers crossed as well. My current MacPro (6 years old) just isn't working very well with CS6 Photoshop (guess the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB isn't really supported.) Anyhow, thought it would be best to hold out until we see a MacPro with Thunderbolt before I buy a new one.
These new 27" Displays sure are nice though. I'm running it along side my 23" Cinema Display. Like people have mentioned, the glare is a bit distracting since I have windows behind me, but overall I'm very happy with it. I only wish I could set the resolution of the two monitors so when I drag a window from one monitor to the other the size of the window would stay the same.
Thanks for your input!

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,

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.

Hi,

An Aside
I have been running my website since 2004 and iChat 2
This section originally dated 2005 as well also has the info
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page4.html#_mactodo (Item 4)
It is not so much about what Apple do right away or answer in the Discussions it is about what they do to get the info to a wide an audience as possible.
The upshot is that they do Monitor the Discussion in various forms.
Some info finds it's way in to Articles like the first link.
Other things get tested for future releases of the OS that Developers and others can try out.
The issue with that is that whoever is doing the testing concentrates on the bits they want to work and know how it works before any changes.
There are of course other examples dotted about.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Why is my iPod touch Gen 5 still associated with my older Apple ID not my more recent one?

This morning I ran across another problem. I still can't access my older [email protected] Apple ID account.
I created a new Apple ID account but for some reason my iPod touch asked for the older Apple ID. I was trying to update Facebook, but I forgot my older password.
I clicked on iForgot for [email protected] but the verification email was never sent.
I clicked on the Next button many times but still no email.
Can you please help me reset the old password to a new password of my choice?
Finally how can I associate my iPod touch to my new Apple ID?
This is frustrating me so much.
Thank you.

Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

Is there a way to adapt an older ipod with 30-pin to a new dock with lightning connector?

The Apple on-line store has two 30-pin to lightning adapters, but they are the wrong direction from what you want. Try a Google search, or drop in an Apple retail store and see if they have what you need.
