Photobooth and new 24 inch LED Display

I have just received my new display today and it is breathtaking.
I am using it with a new macbook pro. Sound has connected ok. ichat defaults once set to the display isight. BUT, photobooth will just not go to the display isight.
Any ideas guys?

Not sure, but it only seems to work (photo booth) with the LED Display iSight when you have the MBP lid closed. If the lid is open, it only uses the MBP's iSight.

  • Older Macbook and new 24-inch LED display

    Is it possible to connect a mid-2007 Macbook (I think this has the mini DVI connection) to the new LED Cinema Display? Is an adaptor needed? Does one exist?
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    I just received a macbook 13 inches white as present and was looking forward to have a bigger desktop home, I was obviously interested in the 24'' led cinema display, but unfortunatey found out my white brand new macbook was not compatible with it.....I am talking about a brand new product now (july 2009) sold in the apple store!!! I don't even talk about all previous generations macbook macbook pro owners. A mini dvi to mini display adapter is badly needed.
    Will some intelligent manager take this chance to satisfy such a large market?
    If I had the know-how I would have done it on my own. <Edited by Host>

  • Why is my 24-inch LED display flashing black (and sometimes scrambles) every few seconds?

    I have recently upgraded to a new iMac: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. 4 GB 1333 MHz DDr3. AMD Radeon HD 6970M. 1024 MB. Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. I have it attached to a 24-inch Cinema Display.
    Before I switched to my new iMac, it would blink black a couple of times a day. This was going on for a LONG time, but was not a big deal. However, now that I have switched to the new iMac, it is every few seconds. And it has now added the "scrambled" screen to it's repertoire. Fun. And, as I am typing this...it just went black and has not come back on.
    I've read a few threads on this happening, but haven't found any substantial evidence as to what is causing this. It's beyond annoying. Has anyone learned anything new?

    Okay. Murphy's Law. As soon as I posted this, I found an answer (hopefully!). My situation fit the criteria at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4045?viewlocale=en_US and I installed the update and so far, so good. I'll keep you posted.

  • 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.

  • Using New Apple 27" LED Display with old MacBook Pro (Late 2006) 15"

    I've got a MacBook Pro (Model # A1211) Core2Duo 15" 2.16 GHz with only 128 MB of VRAM and a built-in DVI port (I think it is dual-link DVI)
    My question is, will the new 27" LED Display work with this machine at its best resolution? If so, what adapter would I need to get it to work?
    Thanks!

    I don't think the Kanex adapter is the best one to purchase. The information on their website says it will only drive the 27" at 1280 x 720. Although I have not purchased one yet, the ATLONA website http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-Dual-Link-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-USB-Pow ered.html, claims their Atlona AT-DP400 converter will drive the 27" at its highest resolution of 2560 x 1440. I have read confirmation from some users that this is the case for the DP400.

  • How well does the new Apple 24" LED Display work?

    Hey guys
    Im thinking of purchasing a 24" LED Display from Apple, just because I need a bigger screen to work on, as I edit photos, and film and I've been looking into one for awhile. Buck for buck, is this monitor a good companion to the unibody MacBook pros with the mini display port? Of course, its looks all glitz and glamour on the mac site but has anyone worked with these things hands on? What are the pros and cons?

    The display is very easy to use; considering you'll probable be plugging in the display multiple times per day this is really important.
    The built in display is LED lit (cool light) sense the 24" is also LED lit (cool light), there is a greater consistency in color between the two displays.
    Traditional LCD displays have a warmer glow due to using a fluorescent tube. Trying to go between LED and and fluorescent tube displays could drive you insane. especially if your using both displays at the same time for photography, where color can be very important.

  • Connect Two 24-inch LED displays to 1 graphics card??

    Hi,
    Please can someone offer me some advice.
    I am using a 2.93 Quad Core Mac Pro with 2 GT120 graphics cards and two 24inch LED displays.
    Is it possible to connect these displays to only 1 Graphics card?..
    Kindest Regards.

    A component such as this one can be used to connect that display to a DVI port.

  • Using the 27" Thunderbolt and Apple 24" Cinema LED displays

    I hope everything is having a good weekend.  I have been trying to find an answer and no avail I am not able to find any solid answer.
    Setup:
    2011 MacBook Pro 15" (MacBookPro8,2 model)
    27" Apple Thunderbolt Display
    Additional Equipment:
    Apple 30" Cinema HD Display
    Apple 24" LED Cinema Display
    Ideally I would like to have all three monitors connected this macbook pro, but I know it may be hard.  At the minimum though I would setting for the 27" and 24" to be the two monitors.  Some time ago, I saw a web posting and a podcast talk about some entity achieving this feat, but it require the Pegasus RAID system.  I have noticed that I cannot directly connect the 24" to the 27" as the result is the 24" has a black screen and the MacBook Pro does not recognize the 24".
    Now I have seen products which offer the monitors to be connected using some third party peripherels:
    Newer Technology USB to DVI/HTML/VGA display adapter (which uses display link)
    Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt +USB to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    Unfortunately the results would mean that my Thunderbolt will not be useful after I connect the 24" since it will not allow any more thunderbolt connections.  That is acceptable, but I will like to hear from anyone who is willing to share their experience.  I cannot find the link to a solution which allow the 24" to be connected to the MacBook Pro thru USB device (siimlar to the display link device).

    It appears that a Thunderbolt accessory: "seagate goflex thunderbolt adapter" solves the problem.   Having the seagate device between the two monitors allows the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display to start working.  The solution may not be right for everyone as the adapter is about $179.99 on Amazon.

  • 24 inch LED display has strong odor

    Hello,
    I got the display for about 10 days now and every time the display is on for a short period of time (less than 7 mins), the display has a strange odor coming from the left side (if you were facing the display) speaker grill (where the hot air comes out).
    The odor smells like electrical burn, basically it smells like very very mild burned plastic or electrical smells to it. At first I thought it is being new and it will go away but it is really not. This is a very strong smell.
    I also made sure there is no plastic covering the exhaust grill and everything. Has anyone notice this problem? I am in contact with Apple with the problem already.
    The early Mac Pro had the same smelly problem that posted in this forum many months ago.
    Has anyone notice this problem?

    there was definitely some sort of odor with mine as well. It wasn't offensive, but noticeable, but it went away after a few days. Maybe you just have a more keen sense of smell which is why you can still smell it.

  • New 24" Apple Led Displays FAQs

    Ok, I've been waiting for this monitor to come out since it was introduced at the special even a month ago. Now, I think there are as many questions now that it is finally shipping as they were before it shipped.
    Does it really only work with the latest Mac laptops? Could Apple really be that naive? Come one, I want an answer from someone from Apple. Will I or will I not be able to connect this new display to my PowerMac G5? If I won't, are you going to come up with a display that can actually connect to my G5? Are you expecting all of us to buy a laptop? Remember, pros will never buy a laptop over a desktop, they just aren't powerful enough.
    If I will be able to connect it, then how will that happen? Are you already selling an adapter that I just couldn't find on the online store?
    Answers needed, please, enough questions.
    Thanks,
    G

    Because Apple has a relatively small volume compared to the Windows world, they have to plan farther ahead to amortize their R&D and tooling costs. Apple has always designed its products with the standard that's going to be common a couple years from now, not now. This is why the iPod touch and MacBook Air seemed underpowered when introduced. Apple knew that it would be a short amount of time before the storage would catch up and Apple would not have to retool.
    Apple is not expecting all of us to buy a laptop. They are expecting us to hold out for the adapters and the newer Macs introduced over the next few years that will probably all go DisplayPort.
    Remember, pros will never buy a laptop over a desktop, they just aren't powerful enough
    Sorry, but this time you're the one being naive. A laptop with 4GB RAM and a dual-core processor is more powerful than many recent desktops. I own a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, yet much of my work still happens on the MacBook Pro because it is powerful enough for tasks that would actually take longer on a G5 tower, for instance.
    Given the power of today's portables, there has never been a time in history where it is more practical to use a laptop as one's only business computer.

  • My brand new 13 inch retina display macbook pro won't turn on!?

    Hello all,
    I purchased a 13inch retina display macbook pro from an apple store at around 4pm today and at about 10pm (after I have been doing nothing more than downloading software and surfing the internet off of the power adapter) it randomly shut off as I was reading from my pdf math text book. I assumed it had died so I plugged it in and tried to turn it back on it turned right back on and went to the login screen. I barely had enough time to look and see that my laptop was at 40% power and charging before it shut off again and refused to turn back on. It does not respond in any way to the power button (visual or fans whirring etc.) and I currently have it charging up on my bed. It acknowledges the charger (going from a brief green light to the amber) and I have tried resetting the SMC multiple times by now. When I do so the light turns green for a moment and then returns to amber.
    I am beyond furious, school starts tomorrow and I was really hoping my first personal laptop and first mac would come through for me. I hope someone out there can help and restore my faith.
    Cheers,
    Danny

    I Have this issue as weLl. I have used my notebook for last 6 months and don't want yo lose the data. I have done SMC reset and it won't make a difference. the notebook has turned into a brick with no signs of turningon, boot, fans etc.   what can I do  other than take it to apple store?   Is there any way to reset battery externally? Definitely not happy with experience.

  • Turning on brand new 15 inch retina display MBP

    I have just got a new MBP (2 days old) . To turn it on, once it has been shut down, I have to hold down the power button for abnormally long time....is this normal? You have to keep your finger pressed down on the power button until it switches on (much like the time you have to hold it down if you were to force close a frozen screen). Surely this isn't right?
    The mac has been working perfectly apart from this and the fact that on the first day I was working on it, suddenly the mouse cursor disappeared/became invisible. I could still move around the screen but without being able to see where the mouse was. After a few minutes it came back.  Wasn't really thrilled with this happening to a brand new top of the range computer, but maybe it is nothing to worry about?
    I am just a bit jittery as my old macbook pro (3 years old) just died on me. Started with fuzzy screen jumping about, then screen split in half and mirrored (left side was on the right and right side on the left) then few days later screen went stripy, then days later went blue (worked on odd days in-between) then finally froze on a white screen and wouldn't turn on.
    Going to see a Genius isn't really an option as I am a flight and train ride away from any Apple store.
