Use Your Old Apple Cinema Display With New Mac

How do I connect my computer or Macbook with usb c to my Apple Cinema Display?

 

1.To connect your computer with USB-C to an Apple Cinema Display, you need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter;

2. Plug the USB-C end into your computer or Macbook air pro and the Mini DisplayPort end into the Apple Cinema Display's port, as the older Apple Cinema Displays use Mini DisplayPort connections.

 

Key points:

Adapter needed:

Since your computer has USB-C and the Apple Cinema Display has a Mini DisplayPort, you need a dedicated adapter to bridge the connection.

Cable type:

Use a standard Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable to connect the adapter to your Apple Cinema Display.
