Will 20" Cinema work with MacBook?

I am looking at buying a used 20" Cinema Display and just read the specs on the Apple website. It does not list it as being compatible with the MacBook.
Is anyone using a Cinema with a MacBook? Do you need a seperate connector?
Also, I am moving from North America to Australia in around 8 months. For those that have purchased the Cinema displays, do you think it is worth buying for this amount of time (since I won't likely bring it with me on the move due to cost and fragility) or would it be better to go with a cheaper 19" or 20" from Acer and such? Seller is asking $650 after tax.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks

ok, heres the scoop.
the specs do list the macbook as useable with an ACD. both the 20" and 23" work (im running the 23" with my macbook... works beautifully). the 30" does not work with the macbook, but does work with the macbook pro.
secondly, the specs of the ACD´s have been uprated by apple (though the exterior remains the same) and the list price new is 699 against your used offer of 650. so to me, if you want to get an ACD, get a new one, the specs are likely to be better and its guaranteed.
finally, i have to say, i wouldnt want to be without my ACd. its a super piece of kit!!!
good luck.

    I know Adobe CS6 will work with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, which I just upgraded to, but will it run on my Macbook Pro 4.1 (late 2008)? I'm currently on CS4....Thx

    Thanks so much. A long time Mac addict (1984), I'm still not interested in some of the system profile gobbledygook like Open GLs and stuff. Happy New Year....

  • Will elements 11 work with Macbook Pro with Retina Display?

    I am thinking of buying a Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
    I am wondering if Photoshop Elements 11 will work OK with this as I have heard there is a problem.  Any suggestions of how to make them compatible would be appreciated.  I really don't need anything more complicated than elements for what I do so don't want to spend out on one of the CS programmes.
    Thanks

    Yes, it will work like any other program that isn't optimized for the display (in other words, okay, but not as well as if it had been).

  • Will Airport Extreme work with MacBook and PCs in a secure, wireless way?

    Currently have a Netgear router that we use for wireless internet access.   It is not a secured router and it's time to get a better solution.   Will the Airport Extreme work easily and well with an HP laptop, HP Envy printer and my MacBook?

    The Airport Extreme is compatible with all computers, even PCs and tablets and phones other than Apple too. You can easily manage/administrate the Airport Extreme and its network with your iPads and iPhone.

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • Will Pages work with MacBook Pro OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    I am wondering if the Pages App will work with MacBook Pro OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  I am getting conflicting information from people, and I don't want to purchase and download the App if I am not able to use it.  Thanks for your help.

    Thanks so much for your help, Michael. Glad to hear it works for you.  This gives me enough confidence to go ahead and order the App.  Thanks again.

  • Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

  • Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
    Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
    Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
    Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
    Help, please...

    Hello Smis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Which HD camcorder will be best compatible with macbook pro?

    Which HD Camcrder will be best copm with Macbook Pro?

    There are scores of them on the market at any given time that will work just fine with the MBP. The list changes every week as models are introduced and discontinued. No one has tried enough of them to have any idea which is "most compatible," and since prices range from under $100 into the thousands and you've told us nothing about how much you hope to spend or what features you want, no one can answer your question.

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.

  • I have a ibook G4 which has become redundant as my phone will no longer work with the version of itunes installed (latest it can use), how can I back up my phone to transfer to a new computer (a PC now)?

    My iphone 4s (7.1.1) will no longer work with my ibook G4 which is running 10.5.8. I have a PC which i'm now going to have to use, I've manually transferred my music and photos, but how do I go about transferring my contacts and calenders. What does itunes on PC sync to in terms of contacts and calenders?
    Thanks!
