What can I connect to the cinema display´s firewire port?
What do you think of connecting an external hard drive to the cinema display´s firewire port? My other firewire ports on my G5 are already occupied.
The FireWire ports on a Cinema Display can be used with anything that the FireWire ports on a Mac can be used for; they are included because a Mac and external monitor may be set up in a way that prevents the ports on the computer from being easily accessed.

Need help urgently! Thanks.no 3rd party solutions available?
As I said, there are no converters available, from any source.

Can I connect a 24" Cinema Display with mini DisplayPort in to HDMI out?
I have a 24" LED Cinema Display that I want to use with a new 15" Retina MacBook Pro I will soon be purchasing. Using cable adaptors, would it be possible use the new Macbook Pro's HDMI port to connect to this Cinema Display? I understand that this does not work with the newer Thunderbolt displays because Thunderbolt only adapts in one direction, but since this is an older Mini Displayport monitor would it work? My goal is to keep both Thunderbolt ports available for storage I/O untill Apple releases an update to the Thunderbolt display later this or next year. Thanks for your advice!
Yes, in this scenario, I'd connect the display to one of the Thunderbolt ports and use a USB hub for additional I/O. Here's my current I/O needs:
1) esata (with port multiplication)
2) gigabit ethernet
3) firewire 800
4) USB keyboard
5) 3-port USB hub (iOS, bluetooth charger, misc USB2 or 3)
6) monitor
My current plan is to use
1) thunderbolt 1 - display
2) thunderbolt 2 - firewire 800
3) USB3 1 - esata
4) USB3 2 - USB3 hub - gigbit ethernet and all other USB devices
Does this seem like a resaonable set-up in terms of maxing I/O bandwidth? My main concern is if the USB2 devices on the USB3 hub will throttledown my gigabit ethernet speeds.
Thanks for your advice! -

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?
Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)<http://www.kanexlive.com/xd>

Question about the Cinema Displays
Hi,
Until now, I've used one LCD display as my monitory for everything - two computers, my gaming consoles, etc.
It's getting too old - and I want to replace it. Getting a Cinema display wouldn't be a problem in terms of using the computers on it, but I was curious:
Is there a possible way I can connect either RCA cables or HD / Digital cables to the display?
Either directly into it, or through an adapter, and so on.
ThanksIf you have no special need for a Cinema display specifically, it would be much simpler and possibly cheaper to get a brand like a Dell that has the multiple input ports, particularly the analog type you are interested in connecting. The Cinema displays are really meant to be driven by DVI only, and have no HDCP support for a direct digital video connection.
I could be wrong about some of this; the fact that these adapters exist indicate that some DVI adaptation may be possible, but I'll have to leave the ultimate answer to someone who's tried it. -
I do have a MacBook 13" connected to the Cinema Display and this works fine. As I do also an old iMac which I do not use any more, is there any chance to use this iMac as an additional monitor next to the Cinema Display. I would be great to have both of them running in parallel and bring the iMac to an use again.
Use a product such as ScreenRecycler.

I'm about to buy a 27" i-Mac. I would like to connect my 30" Cinema Display to it as a second monitor. What will I need to do that? Will this slow down the overall performance?
The new iMacs do not come with a MiniDisplayPort, they have Thunderbolt, so unless you are talking about purchasing one of the previous generation iMacs such as this refurbished model in the online Apple store, it won't work. And yes, if you are going to get the full range of video resolutions you will need the Dual-Link version.
For details see the store's web page on the Dual-Link display adapter. -
Since connecting my new Cinema display to my new Mac Pro, I can't open Final Cut Express. I get the message that I need Quartz Extreme to use it. How come it isn't in my brand new computer or monitor?? I could use FCE fine with an old monitor. HELP!
I finally called Apple support on Monday (couldn't on Sunday - it surprised me that they don't have 24/7 phone support). Tech had no idea, so put me onto a 'supertech' (in America?). He instructed me to reset the whole computer - turn it off, unplug it and then hold down 4 keys while it rebooted. That worked. I can now open Final Cut Express and iMovie. There's no reference to 'Quartz Extreme' in my 'About This Mac' display info, but I don't care, everything works now, hooray! (Now if I can only get my Mac mouse to work properly...)

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.
