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.

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:

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

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
Alan
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.

How to connect a macbook pro retina to an external VGA monitor
I have a MacBook Pro of the retina on OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 running. Previously, I could connect a previous MacBook Pro (late 2009) to an external VGA monitor. I was told on the Apple store I could use the mini display in a Flash port dongle to connect to a VGA cable, but when I tried this, the monitor could not get a signal. Is there another dongle I should use? I have a HDMI cable which I assume will work with most modern projectors, but I really want to go to this old VGA monitor for editing in iMovie.
If you go to > System Preferences > displays made outside monitor to see the place? You want to make sure that the mirror/extension development is enabled. Also, how old is your MacBook Pro?

How to connect a MacBook Pro with a wire to a Canon Pixma MG7752?
I just bought a new printer with wifi. Because my mom and Dad's cell phone is so old now, wifi is not compatible with the operating system they have, although it works on my MacBook Air. We are now trying to connect a wired, but it does not work. Someone knows how to fix this?
I suggest that you first read the documentation supplied with the printer. Then go to the Canon support site and ask for assistance from their technical support.
You download and install the latest printer driver for use with their version of the OS? It must be installed on their computer. You need to check on the Canon site for a compatible driver to use on their computer and the version of Mac OS X. If this computer has a Wi - Fi connection, then they should be able to connect to the printer. You can also try your computer printer sharing to theirs.

The maximum resolution that I receive is 1080 p not 2560 x 1600 (21 x 9 aspect ratio - ultra wide angle). My adapterw of the display is a Lindy Adapter Mini displayport to VGA/HDMI cable is a normal black HDMI cable.
Any suggestions please?
Yes... go to Preferences system, then poster and Option + click on scale and see what it does for you. You should be able to get the maximum
resolution on this monitor, which, as you mentioned is 2560 x 1080. Maybe you could go with just a displayport cable to connect the monitor to your MacBook Pro. I don't know exactly what model or year of MacBook Pro you have, but I guess it's fairly recent. The lindy adapter will do up to 2160 p and not more, so there is that... the only other thing I know is SwitchResX, but you would have to pay a little for that...
so, here's my suggestions, aside from trying an adapter that supports the WQHD... (loan from 4 k) that is all I have

Hello
I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and the process for adding some of my old material has been an interesting question. Who made me stuck is to be able to access my network scanners "mailboxes shared" in order to recover my scans.
The product in question is a large format Xerox 6204 printer/scanner. The installation process for the basic print server run the 6204 as a network printer went relatively smoothly and seems to work as expected. However, the problem arises when I want to use the functionality of scan of the 6204. Scans are stored in mailbox store ' ' on the 6204 and must be retrieved by a piece of software Xerox called "wide Format Scan Service. This program essentially connects to mailboxes mailbox via the IP address of the 6204 on the network and from there should allow me to download the scans on my Windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, in order to connect to the mailbox store I am currently disable the firewall of Windows 7 altogether.
I tried to add the Service to Scan large Format to the list of allowed programs, which gives an "impossible to connect to 6204' error. I tried to add the program to inbound and outbound rules manually, even though my experience with this is limited, with the same error. So leave the default settings in the wizard, I also tried to use the technical netstat to find out what are the ports, the software used and adding them to specific ports in the properties of the rules - all without success.
For now, I'm stuck the point of having to run my installation of Windows 7 without a firewall to use my scanner large format, which is obviously an undesirable situation. If anyone can offer help or advice on how I can solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Try this... This solves the problem
netsh advfirewall set global disable StatefulFTP

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.
Henriette
PS: The color calibration device I own is a gretagmacbeth eye - one display2.
Hello henriettefromnovato,

I see you want to calibrate the color of your movie screen. You can calibrate your screen by following the steps in the link below.
