Will the Cinema Display work with an older MacBook Air?

My wife has an older MacBook Air (circa late 2009) with one USB 2.0 port and one Mini Display port. Will the Cinema display work with this model Air?

It looks to me like the cinema display is a DVI connection. If you have a MiniDisplay port to DVI adapter that connected the MBpro to the display then you have everything you need. (plus a DVI cable). The MDP adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port of the MBair.

Does the cinema display work with windows

Hi last year i got a new acer laptop and found the screen was much to small for all the windows i work with so i connected it to an external screen that i had just a week ago it stopped working and i was wondering if the cinema display would work with my laptop

Here's some interesting links that might help:

LED Cinema 27" with Windows 7 (Apple discussions thread)

Will Apple Cinema Displays work with Directv?

Hi everyone, I have a 23" Cinema Display, the model before the aluminum casing. Now what I'm trying to do is watch Directv on the ACD through the hdmi/dvi output of the directv receiver. I understand I will need an ADC to DVI adapter for my model display but I'm already planning on getting one since I will be connecting my macbook pro to the display.
So has anyone tried this out and can say this will work fine? Or will the picture be distorted, colors off, incorrect signal, etc? If it works fine, I will buy a dvi switch so that I can use the display for my computer and television.
I know there is Elgato's EyeTv hybrid out there but this option will only allow me to watch OTA HD and every directv channel in sd. I already have the directv hd package in my house but do not have a tv in my room at the moment.
Thanks a lot.

As far as I know this won't work for at least one reason and possibly two. For one, Apple Cinema displays are very picky about the input that is passed to them. In fact, the 23" ACD will run from one, and only one, format, which is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz. This is not a standard for consumer devices like satelite TV boxes, so the DirectTV will not be able to output this resolution.
The second reason is that the HDMI output from the DirectTV will likely expect an HDCP handshake from whatever display is attached. ACDs are unable to provide this.
There may be products from Gefen that will allow you to interface the two, but I'm not sure about that.

Newbie: How can I get the camera to work with skype on macbook air

Sorry that I'm a beginner at this. I just can't find the answer to it, but I'm sure it's common question. Since the macbook air has a camera built in, how come it isn't showing up on my new skype account?

Go into an Apple Store if under a year old from purchase. They can assist you

Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.

Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?

Will the Linksys WRT160N work with windows vista at all?
Some one please clear this up for me, it could be answered in the simplestterms from the English Language of course.
I've recently purchased the Linksys WRT160N however after purchase "of course"I manage to find reviews stating that the router will not work with the WindowsVista Premium, or windows Vista for that matter.
E.g.(Comments like These 'which are not my own')----------
"When I tried it with a new computer running Vista 64, it would install but the Linksys System Advisor would not. After 1 chat and 4 phone calls with support the system will still not run."
"It is a good product with XP, but if you use Vista 64 good luck. After several hours of working to get it running my patience and options have run out."
"It has taken almost a week for us to figure out that the Linksys Router, WRT160N from Best Buy does not workwith Vista Premium. I looked on-line to Linksys Website and discovered that the router, WRT160N is notsupported for Vista users. .."
E.g. (CommentContradicting to what has been said above)------
"Bought this to replace my outdated Linksys (new Vista laptop) and was blown away. Thisthing practically set itself up. It replaced the wired router and wireless routers I was using, asthe signal strength is awesome. I'm still pulling over 5meg ... "
So I guess one could see why I am confused, based on the 2 sidedcontradictions pertaining to this router actually working with windows vista ornot.
So can someone respond (preferable a Vista User) and tell me the truth as of towhat this router can an cannot do in terms of Vista? Thanks

It should work with vista without any issues if you are running any software on the computers (64 bit) from linksys it may not work but if you will connect that computer with an ethernet to the router it should work fine.

Will my 27inch LED cinema display work with the 2014 MacPro?

I have two 27 inch LED cinema displays I bought in 2010 I think. I want to know if I can use both displays with the new cylindrical MacPro? My displays have mini display port connection and are non thunderbolt. I know that I cant daisy chain the monitors because they are NOT thunderbolt, but will I be able to connect both to the new MacPro's coming this December?

Thanks TurboStar for your excellent comments and suggestions. I have pre-ordered that Apple 27" LED Display now off Amazon.co.uk... it will be in stock on the 21st March.... and I look forward now with anticipation to getting my hands on it and more importantly my eyes... now that I have read your resounding approval of the 27" compared to my tired and jaded 30".
Interesting your comments about the new MacPro also... I think I went OTT when I bought my last 12 Core MacPro (32GB RAM + 512GB SSD)..... it cost me in total €8,800 ($12,200) which was mad money.... it's doing a great job.... but I don't work with video or video games, just Quark, Illustrator and Photoshop... so not sure if the 8 Core or less would have done the job just as good... I just wanted the best with what I thought was the most horsepower so I could take on any task. I will wait and review more with the New MacPro.... maybe the 6 Core is the way to go... and pump up the SSD and RAM....
Thanks again.
Regards,
Anthony
PS. Have a grrreat Paddys Weekend!!

Will the Intel SSD work with my particular computer

I am considering installing an Intel® - OEM X25-M Mainstream 80GB Internal Serial ATA II Solid State Hard Drive in my MacBook Pro 2.2 ghz Intel Duo Core computer (late 2007 model) and I am wondering if it will be compatible and if anyone has had any experience with installing an SSD in an earlier MacBook Pro. Current hard drive is a Hitachi 160GB 5400 rpm drive with less than 1/4 of capacity used. I tried Google and I have gotten conflicting info. I am wondering if there is any issues with the above mentioned drive with older MacBook pros.

I believe it should work fine.

Will the 1gig Muvo work with any music subscription servic

It's not clear to me if the Muvo will work with Napster or Yahoo music. If it doesn't I wonder why you guys bother selling them. Will Zencast work with it as well? I just bought one for my girlfriend for Christmas and I'm already begining to be frustrated by the limitations.

They will work with some download stores, just not those that use subscription music. Subscription introduces a new method of licensing the files which expires with time, so it requires what is described as a "secure clock" on the player. The older and simpler players don't have these.
But you can still use normal licensed WMA tracks. Have a look in this thread for some of the places you can get music.
Zencast is presumably just Podcast style content, which is normally not licensed.

Will the iphone 5 work with the 4G network in Belgium?

I am very happy with the iPhone 5, love it, but today the Belgian Operator made the 4G network available in some major cities,
but it seems Apple has to "enable" the 4G capabilities for the iPhones in Belgium...
I bought mine directly through the Apple store. I wonder will it work with the 4G network here ? Anyone using it in 4G mode here in Belgium?
Also if someone at Apple reads this (I hope they do) Siri in Dutch would be super!!! I love Siri but now I have to talk very strange to make
Dutch names understandable for Siri :-)
kind regards to all

"4G" is a marketing term, not a technical term.
The iPhone 5 can operate on any compatible HSPA+ network anywhere in the world. HSPA+ is defined by the ITU as "4G" and is marketed as such by many carriers. The only iPhones I'm aware of that display "4G" in the status bar are those originally intended for AT&T in the U.S.
LTE is also defined as "4G" and is marketed as such by pretty much every carrier that has an LTE network. When connected to an LTE network, "LTE" should appear in the status bar.
The frequencies used for LTE networks vary from region to region across the globe. In order to use an available LTE network, the phone you're using must have been sold to work in your region.
Apple doesn't have to "enable" anything for it to work. All you need is a phone that's compatible with your network, and a plan that allows for LTE data.
If you purchased the phone from another region, the U.S. for example, it will NOT work on the LTE netwok in your part of the world.

Why won't my 20" cinema display work with an HP laptop / Vista

I have my 20" cinema display connected to my hp laptop (using vista) under hardware, and a few other places it shows that the monitor is detected, but I can't get a picture to show on the monitor no matter what I do. It stays black, even though it is detected. Has anyone else had an experience with this?

the option(s) that it gives you are the recommended resolutions as determined by the "handshake" that happens between the monitor and computer (sort of a pre-UPnP standard). you can always press the advanced button and then manually select any resolution / display rate that your graphics card is capable of displaying.
what was the option, by the way? what resolution and display rate?
the resolution should be 1680x1050 and the refresh rate can probably be anything from 60 to 80 Hz.

Will the Thunderbolt Display work when I close the lid?

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro. I'm thinking about buying the Thunderbolt Display, but only if it can simulate a desktop and I can close the lid of my Macbook. I'm asking this because I know it goes to sleep when closed and was wondering if the Display makes it work differently. thanks.

Works great and how I do 90% of my computing.
I use a usb wireless keyboard with the receiver plugged in to the back of the TBD. When the laptop is asleep press the space key once or twice to wake up the display (be patient, doesn't work as fast as you think it should). I use a screenlock password, so enter it and we're working!
One note: if the computer is turned off you can not turn it on from the keyboard. You'll have to open the laptop, turn it on, and once you hear the chime you can close the laptop and you're gtg.
