Is there anyway to get the power button on the Cinema Displays (aluminum ones) to sleep a MacBook Pro? I have it set up in System Preferences to sleep the computer, but when you tap the button the Sleep, Shutdown, or Restart dialogue pops up (same one you get if you press the power button on the laptop).

So I have (3) 24" LED Cinema Display's being driven by 3 seperate GT 120's in my 2009 MP, can I also drive a 46" LCD from the one of the DVI outputs of the video card?
I was hoping to mainly stream CNN or similar news outlet to the LCD to avoid paying the cable company the hefty premium they charge for basic cable in office buildings....
So my dad is going to get one of the new LED displays soon, since his old aluminum one is out of warranty and needs a new power cord (I guess several years of rubbing against the corner of the desk has made it begin to fray - I haven't seen it yet, though, so I don't know how bad it is). Anyways, he says if I can fix it, it's mine. So I was just wondering how hard it is to replace the cord? This is the one that comes directly out of the back of the display and plugs into the power supply.

Sometime when I stop using my MBP for a minute or so, the screen goes black and won't wake up. I can see that the lights are on the keyboard and it's running but won't wake up. I will have to hold the power button down and then restart. Does any one know how to fix this? It's starting to do it more and more ofter.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAs the title states, I can no longer put my computer to sleep using the power button. I have to put it to sleep using the mouse. I miss the convenience of the power button. The window for energy saver is not like the display in support, it is missing the "Allow the power button to put the computer to sleep" option. Very strange. I am running an older desktop (2009) with Mavericks, fully updated. 10.9.4

A lot people expect have cam with the new cinema displays but what about mic? I use my sister imac yesterday and the mic are amazing. I call with skype sitting on the chair and receive the voice great and of course the cam.
You think that mic appear with cam on the new cinema display (that appear not see the light)
why not new cinema displays!! I want a new one, a lot time without a new model!
View 24 Replies View RelatedI'd like to purchase one of Apple's new LED Cinema Displays but I don't own one of the new MacBook Pros.
At the moment I've got the original MacBook Pro and a G5. I was hoping to hook the new display up to my G5.
Is this completely impossible or is there a converter that will enable either of these Macs to connect up to the display?
Do the old Apple Cinema Displays work with the new Mac Pros?
I am sure its a dumb question, but i have an older mac cinema display with the pins not mini dvi, that will work on the new mac pros right?
Sorry for the dumb question, I just know apple loves to keep changing those plugs.
I need a glossy screen display to go with my 21.5" iMac. All the 21.5" IPS displays I have found (Dell, HP, LG) have a matte screen. Didn't Apple make both a 24" and 30" display at the same time? What gives?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been a mac guy since 1990 and for the last five years have settled into a nice PowerMac G5 with the dual 2.0 processors with the 20" Apple Cinema Display.
I did search on this but couldn't find anything specific, but I am considering adding a second 23" Apple Cinema Display to my set-up for a dual monitor workstation.
I have the ATI Radeon 9600 video card with two DVI ports. I have my 20" plugged in to port 1 and it's running at 1680x1050 resolution (the highest). When I add the second monitor, will BOTH monitors be able to run at their highest resolutions? Or do I need to add another video card?
I had heard rumor that resolutions are a trade-off: if your card is split between two monitors, then the resolution splits, true?
If I can run both at the highest res, then I'll pull the trigger and get the extra monitor. I'm assuming there's someone here who has done the exact same thing?
I have the new MacBook Pro and am interested in hooking up two of the new 24" LED Cinema Displays. Is this possible? I assume it would take some sort of splitter? Is there such an animal yet?
I currently have a 23" Cinema Display but, I think two 24's would look best side by side. ...or two 23"s side by side.
I've had little luck with getting uniform backlighting on the LED Cinema Displays, and after my second exchange, Apple wants to start taking a look at my display before I exchange again. Unfortunately I live a long way away from any Apple Stores, so driving up to one isn't really an option.
But in any case, getting a good display seems to be somewhat of a lottery - I've been wondering if perhaps a repair is a better option. I'm going to be moving to a city with an Apple store later this year - since that will fall within my 1 year warranty, do you think they'd repair my display later in the year? And can the ACDs even be repaired, or is it more of a replacement?
I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro, and was thinking about getting a Apple Display to connect it to for watching DVDs and etc. on.
However, would it be possible to use it as a tv?
Googling this resulted in loads of stuff about DVI ports and the like I didn't really understand so just wondering if somebody would please explain whether this was possible or not?
Did they ever make them without Mini Display Port?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 2008, 3.2Ghz Quad-Core Mac Pro, that's currently running two 30" Cinema displays off of a nVidia GeForce 8800 GT video card. I need to add a third 30" display. Would someone recommend the second video card I'd need to buy?
(The bus on this vintage of Mac Pro is limited to 300w of output, and only the first two slots are PCI x16, 2.0) The 8800 GT is also uses one of the two power outputs on the "Logic Board" via a cable.
In terms of Display Preferences, I need to run one as an extension--two side-by-side--and mirror the other one, which will sit across the studio, connected by a 15' Gefen Dual-Link DVI cable. Currently, I have everything set up and working beautifully, with the exception of the third display working as an extension to one of the mirrored displays.
I have a Samsung 204B 4:3 21" screen and a 20" Cinema Display from 2004. I want to use the samsung because I prefer 4:3 ratios, but OS X looks seriously on it. I know its something with OS X, because Windows appears nice and crisp.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a solution to have multiple (2-3) 24" Cinema Displays w/mini display port connected to a unibody 15" Macbook Pro?
It seems the BIG achilles heal is that "mini display port" from the display and connecting to an after market box like the Mattrox DualHead2go. This has become VERY frustrating and I may have to buy a couple of non-Apple displays as the solution! I really like my 24" displays but, NEED more real estate ESPECIALLY when running Parallels.
Is anyone using dual Apple 24" LED Cinema Displays on a Mac Pro?
If so, how is the cable length?
Where is your Mac Pro located in reference to the displays?
Am looking for a riser that would bring my Cinema Display up to roughly the same height as an Imac I`m seriously considering buying. Does anyone make this kind of accessory?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wonder if anyone has a setup with two 24 inch cinema displays that have speakers integrated into them...
How do the speakers work? Do you run a USB cable to each monitor so you have both sets of speakers working at the same time? Can you configure the monitor on the left to just play audio for the left channel and the monitor on the right to play just audio for the right channel?
Suddenly my new macbook aluminium have started to wake up from sleep mode when the lid is down. It goes into sleep, and then it wakes up again and back to sleep and wakes up again. I have tried to restart SMC, and i have unchecked bluetooths ability to wake up the computer and the ethernets ability to do so.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI had a bad power surge (USB hub that was plugged into the back of the display had the wrong power cord plugged in... very stupid mistake I know!!) take out my 23" Cinema Display. The display shows no sign of life (no power light, etc) and the brick has been tested and is OK. My local service place says that they will have to send the display back to Apple which means a minimum of $400 for repair so I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar issue that they resolved successfully? The service place suggested that Apple would replace the logic board but is there any way to test to see if this is the main issue? I have seen logic boards sold separately online but would be hesitant to buy it without know that this would fix this issue.
