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 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:

  • 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?

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

    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.

    Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support.

  • 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.
