Two Apple Displays and Mac Pro - How To Set Up?

Hello! My boyfriend surprised me yesterday with a second 23" Apple HD Display! Fed Ex delivered it and I had no idea it was coming! Before I take the plunge I need to know how to set it up so it works as with my current Mac Pro and 23" display so that they work together, as one big screen. I have the ATi X1900 graphics card with 512mg of RAM and two DVI ports and assume that will be sufficient to run both displays.
Is it possible to use them as one large screen? If so, how do I set that up? If I just plug it in and restart, will the two screens work as one or as separate screens?
Thanks!
Lisa

I did the same thing last night, and if you haven't just plugged it in already, it's really as simple as that.
I get a little video glitch on my main startup screen when I'm booting up, but otherwise it just works smoothly. Plug it in, and go.

2*17" Studio Displays and Mac Pro -

Hi,
I have two 17" Studio Displays and want to buy a Mac Pro. can anyone fill me in on what connectivity issues there are with this setup.
(I am sure this question has been answered - if so please post a link to the thread - I don't know enough to be able to sort through the answers when I searched)
Thanks very much
Aaron

If they are 17" LCDs with the ADC (Apple Display Connector)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
then each will need a DVI to ADC adapter

If they are 17" CRT with VGA connectors
<http://www.jestineyong.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/vga.jpg>
they will need DVI to VGA adapters.

One is included with the Mac Pro.
If they are 17" CRTs with the ADC, you cannot use them with a Mac Pro (or any computer without built-in ADC ports).

Dual 24" Displays and Mac Pro

Is there a extension cable available for the 24" Cinema display?
The 3 foot video cable is far too short for an efficient side by side monitor with a MacPro setup.

Lots of them out thee, such as

You will also need a USB extension.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Two ADC 17" mac displays w/Mac Pro?

I have a pair of the older 17" Mac displays with ADC connectors. I used them with my old MDD G4, which came with a video card that had DVI and ADC connectors. So, I obviously had to buy an ADC/DVI converter so I could use the DVI port that the computer came with (one of the monitors just plugged into the ADC.)
Now that I have the new Mac Pro, with two DVI connectors on the card, does anyone think there would be a problem buying another ADC/DVI converter so I can use two monitors with the Mac Pro? I just wanted to make sure.

"• the 27" is directly connected to the other MDP port.
• One of the 20" monitors is using the MDP adapter into the 5770.
• When I try to hook up the other 20" to the DVI port on the 5770 I get nothing.
Note: If you are using an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports.
If you are connecting three displays, any DVI displays must be connected to either the Dual-Link DVI port or must use an Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Adapter.
You MUST use All "Active" or "Powered" Mini DisplayPort connector such as the Apple Dual Link, or you can only use two displays

Running two Apple displays from one Macbook Pro?

I have two Apple displays with mini-display ports. I have ONE Macbook Pro with ONE mini-display port. Problem.
I purchased this USB 2.0 to DVI Display Adapter from Monoprice but still can't figure out how to get my mini-display ports to work with this.
Is this even the right product?

You can use another DVI, VGA, or even HDMI display for far cheaper with this adapter, US$60 plus shipping:

Warning: Results may be unacceptably laggy.
But a converter to Mini DisplayPort is quite expensive, US$150 plus shipping:

HT204053 I have two Apple ids and want to consolidate everything onto one. How do I do it?

I have two Apple ids and my syncing from iMac to MacBook and iPod Touch is messed up. I want to consolidate all of my contacts and calanders (at least!) under one of my ids, and also use that one for the App Store. What can I do?

Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to buy the items, so you don't want to change the iTunes Store account to a different ID.
You cannot "consolidate" or merge two IDs.
For your use of icloud, just decide which ID (or account) you want to use. The following tells you how to move data from one icloud account to another:
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

Can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly. If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

I have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps on there?

I (stupidly) have two Apple IDs and when I got an Iphone 6, only the apps from one Apple ID are on the phone. How do I get my other apps (from my old Iphone 4) on my new Iphone? Thanks

You can use the same appleid that you purchased the apps with on the phone for the App store. Settings> iTunes & App Store and continue to use the other id for everything else allowing you to have access to your previously purchased apps. You can then either sync or download the apps without paying for them again.
It can be quite handy having two appleids - it can be quite useful if you can manage them correctly. One id for the store and one for imessage is good for privacy if you have the same id in use on another device.

The Mac Pro - the desktop computer - does not support Airdrop, if that's what you mean.
