• Can I connect a Macbook from 12 "to my old Apple Cinema Display 30 ''?

  I have a new 12 "MacBook that I cannot connect to my Thunderbolt display, but was hoping to connect it to my old Apple Cinema Display 30". So far, no luck, don't just wanted to ask if it was a popular race of crazy or maybe I was doing something wrong.

  The 30 "Cinema Display has a DVI port out, and so far I used it successfully with an old MacBook Air via an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

  Then I thought, 'I'll buy a USB - C for the Mini DisplayPort adapter!' thinking that I would be able to link 12 '' MacBook with USB - C to Mini DisplayPort adapter Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to Apple Cinema Display 30 ''.

  It does not work. I tried two different USB - C for the Mini DisplayPort adapters and two different Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, without success.

  If this work, or is it doomed to failure? And if it should work, what can I do better?

  Thank you

  A single adapter would be the best bet. If you can find a C - USB to DVI, maybe that would work, assuming that the Cinema display does not use a DVI port updated the. Here is a sample of the Amazon.

• Mac Pro, Apple Cinema display, no brightness control

  Hi, hope you can help me.

  I recently bought a (2nd hand) Mac Pro with an Apple Cinema Display 27 "monitor. El Capitan installed and fully implemented to date. For some reason my Apple keyboard brightness do not work and there is also no under display settings brightness adjustment. I read that some people had similar problems due to some bugs, but it was in 2013 with older versions of Mac OS.

  Does anyone know how I can control (mainly make it brighter) my movie screen? Right now the screen is too dark, and it is not suitable for video editing.

  My config is:

  OS X El Capitan (V 10.11.3)

  Mac Pro (end 2013) - 3 GHz 8 Core Intel Xeon E5

  64 GB 1866 Mhz DDR3 ECC

  GPU: AMD over-pants D700 6144 MB x 2

  PS as you can see in the picture there is no brightness adjustment that I can use.

  The screen is connected via thunderbolt.

  The brightness on the KB (F1 and F2) keys work?

• Try to connect 2007 Apple Cinema Display to the retina of MacBook Pro

  I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro retina 2015 to my old Apple Cinema Display 2007. Apple recommended the purchase of the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI. I connected everything except directly from monitor adding firewire cable.

  I can see the image of the bottom of my laptop, but it is. No feature and not an imitator of my laptop. I'm not 'super tech savvy' but need help. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

  Looks like you have the display as extended desktop configuration. With this the second screen is like an extension of the first screen. For the use of several screens, see:

  OS X El Capitan: connect multiple monitors to your Mac

  It is similar to the other versions of OSX

  The screen has FireWire ports, but to use them, plug the FireWire to your Mac. Unless your Mac has two Thunderbolt ports do not use FW via a bolt of lightning > adopter FW

• Use the Apple Cinema Display Monitor on iMac 5K?

  I think the upgrade from my old 'tour' Mac Pro to an iMac of 5K.  It still basically works, but seems inexplicably slow and the two is soft RAID and the system as a whole is more in more not supported.

  Anyway, he has a gorgeous, fully working 30 '' Apple Cinema Display (apparently A1083 model number), which I believe connects via DVI.  I wish you to continue to use this monitor with a new iMac, in addition to the 5 K monitor integrated, of course.

  Does anyone know a Thunderbolt/DVI adapter?  I searched a bit, but so far have not found anything...

  Having found nothing on Apple's site, I thought, what the devil and checked Amazon.  I found that something called "J & D Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter cable converter.

  Does this mean that the Thunderbolt is identical to what PCs call mini-Display port?

  This monitor has DVI double input binding.

• How to connect mid 2000 Apple Cinema Display to all new MacBook Pro

  Hi all

  I have an old monitor Apple Cinema Display (probably around 2005/2006) and would like to connect it to my new MacBook Pro. I bought the cable I thought I needed but it wasn't the right one, so to avoid that happening again, please could someone advise which is the right cable to use.

  Thank you!

  I have no idea of what you purchased was not compatible.

  You will need an adapter of your Thunderbolt port for the cinema display.  I guess (since you don't specify the entries on the screen) that your cinema display has a DVI input then get something like these:

• I can no more color calibrate my monitor Apple Cinema Display 10 years because it is more compatible with my iMac Thunderbolt.  How can I color calibrate the Apple Cinema Display Monitor?

  I currently own an iMac OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.4 27 inches (2 1/2 years) with Thunderbolt technology.  I also have a screen of cinema with older technology.  Previously, when the technology was the same for the Apple display and my previous iMac, I was able to color calibrate the Apple cinema and my iMac but it is no longer the case. I know that there is a way to color calibrate the monitor Cinema with old technology when the iMac has the Thunderbolt technology, but cannot remember what are the steps.  The colors on the Apple Cinema are out of whack and too bright.  Can anyone help?  I'd appreciate any help you can provide.  Thank you.

• Graphics card for Apple Cinema Display on windows 27 "

  Hi Forum Hardware,

  I just bought a new Apple 27 '' LED Cinema Display to my Windows computer. In South Africa, there seems to be no available adapters and the opinion I have of the internet seems to be that the evolution of my graphics card to one that has a 'mini display port' for the monitor is a better option than to an adapter.

  You kindly me has helped build my windows computer a year ago and my understanding at the time was that the configuration must be balanced. Could you help me to choose a graphic card with a "mini display port" that complement my setup (or improve) and at the same time would have the necessary Mini display for the Apple monitor port. There are a few confusing information on the internet, which implies that the Apple 27 "monitor connection option, which I think might be true in the past, but the latter being only a mini display port.

  , I use my computer mainly for video in Premiere Elements editing as well as stills edit in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4. At some point, I can move to Premiere Pro.

  I used a card nVidia GTX 560Ti with a Dell US2711 graphics 27 "monitor. I repeated the screen problems crashing and recovery. Error message read something like "nVidia has detected a problem and needs to close." Above all, he didn't plant the software, just the screen. I just got the graphics card drivers updated with a clean install and we hope that it can fix the problem that I intend to transfer the GTX 560Ti graphics card in another computer, but I feel worried for the next purchase of the graphics card. Is there any advantage to keep the 560Ti in my computer graphics card, but also the new graphics card with the mini display port? I remember that there is also integrated in my configuration graphics. I was wondering if the two graphics cards could have compatibility problems.

  I read that these very high resolution screens, 2560 x 1440 pixels, gave some people problems slow down their computers. It would be a graphics card problem? I would rather err on the side of more power than less energy I spend a lot of time to video editing. Very frustrating if the computer is slow or crashes.

  My Windows computer:

  CPU: Sandy Bridge i7 - 2600K

  Motherboard: GA-Z68XP-UD4

  RAM: 4 x 4 GB DDR3 - 1600

  PSU: Corsair Pro Gold AX850

  CPU cooler: Cooler Master H212 EVO

  Windows 7

  The supplier declares that he has the following graphics cards which have ports mini display. I asked on nVidia cards, he said he didn't have any in stock. If none of the three below works well, it would be easier for me, but if you have any other suggestions that would be better, I'd rather hunt further for the cards. I live in the country but may order of the city. Or a map of lower end with mini display port, as well as my old card GTX 560Ti would be better?

  In stock at the supplier:

  MSI Twinfrozr OC 3 GB Ram R7950

  ATI Radeon MSI OC 2 GB Ram R7870

  Radion HD 7850

  I would appreciate your help again.

  Kind regards

  Linda Collison

  Linda,

  With your i7 - 2600K, 16 GB of memory and I hope a good Setup, I suggest you:

  • GTX 660 it if you overclock the system to about 4.2 GHz and have at least 4 drives
  • GTX 660 if you overclock a little
  • GTX 650 it boost if you have disks of 3 or less and use the savings for an extra drive
  • GTX 650 it so you do not overclock and have records of 3 or less AND you usually export to the same dimensions as your source material, so there is no scaling.

  If regularly you export to other dimensions of the image, i.e. 1920 x 1080 to DVD and scaling is still present, then go for the next best card, for example instead of a big boost GTX 650 it, look at the GTX 660.

  As Alex said, it makes no sense to spend too much on a single component, when it is supported by other components. That's why these fucking directions.

  I thought a lot about this kind of questions, since they pop up so much and I collect my thoughts on this for some sort of decision table, which allows people to choose the base system they use, the nature of their raw material, the kind of editing they do and exports they need. The problem, however, is to make all of these interdependent factors appear in a simulation of what if that makes sense to people. Don't forget, we're not Professor Eppes in Numb3rs, so (auto-regressive integrated moving average) ARIMA modeling with Cholesky decomposition is not feasible.

• How to connect 12 '' MacBook (2015) to a 24 "or 27" Apple Cinema Display AND fresh!

  I made this post on my site here: https://underground.net/how-to-connect-an-apple-display-to-a-usb-c-macbook/ (which I will update regularly)

  This installation took me a LONG time to understand, but it works very well, no wake mode 'sleep', etc.

  To connect the new MacBook to a 24″ Cinema Display or Apple 27″ LED Display Monitor (who both have a record which is the same as the Thunderbolt connector, but are not actually screens Thunderbolt) you can opt for a really cheap option, as the following point 3.1 AllSmartLife USB Type C adapter Mini DisplayPort Amazon for $ 20 :

  

  That works very well, but you cannot load your computer when you are connected to the screen, nor can you plug something else on your computer as an external hard drive, etc.

  To be able to recharge your computer AND connect to the screen AND connect other devices to your MacBook, you need the following configuration, and it works great, btw.

  1 first download this USB-C for USB multi-port, Belinda® USB-C for 3 ports USB 3.0 , which is about $ 36 on Amazon.

  

  2 then, you need an expensive element, StarTech.com USB 3.0 to DisplayPort 2560 x 1600 video card Multi monitor external adapter (USB32DPPRO), which is around $74 on Amazon:

  

  3 Finally you need a cheap item, the Cable questions DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort male to female adapter at $ 9 on Amazon:

  

  Plug all the in such things and he ends up you look pretty clean where it connects to the computer, as you can see below and you can plug in the USB port of the screen on the hub and use the speakers on the screen, AND you still an available for a hard drive, external USB 3.0 port.

  

  It will cost you around $119! Wow, that's a LOT, but it works. Or you can go cheap and just get the first card for $20 but charge your MacBook by disconnecting from time to time to plug in the charger. What a PAIN in the * Apple.

  The new MacBooks coming will be equipped with a combined USB/Thunderbolt-c plug that should * hope * connect a screen and charge at the same time cheaper, but who knows?

  If you want me to your post something, I can put it on the MacBook 2015 using forum boards.

• El Capitan with old Mac Pro update

  I have an Apple Mac Pro "Quad Core" 3.2 2012 computer with 12 GB of RAM. I am reluctant to give up the thing because I have 4 Bay SATA I can use to easily swap drives.

  Running the latest version of Yosemite, the computer may appear VERY slow, especially when a background (backups, indexing of Spotlight) task are underway.  Clean caches helps some, for a while, then it gets pretty slow again.

  Can anyone share some thoughts on what upgrade to El Capitan might do? I had read that it is largely an improvement in the performance of Yosemite, it seems as if it might give me a boost in performance. However, each successive OS update saw things slow further.

  Then, add more RAM would help things?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  If Yosemite is slow, then you must fix before attempting to upgrade. Make a backup or your system, then wipe the drive and install a new copy of Yosemite or El Capitan.

  Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  HD recovery start:

  Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Erase the drive:

  1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

  2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

  list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

  3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

  Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

  the clear button and wait until the process is complete.

  4 leave FROM and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the install button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible

  because it is three times faster than wireless.

  This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it. Upgrade directly to El Capitan.
