I have the a1398 MacBook pro and I'm trying to use an old apple 23 inch cinema display(plastic version) will this adaptor work?

Yes mate, as long as the Apple monitor has a DVI connector, plug the Mini display port into the Macbook, plug the DVI from the monitor and also plugin the USB from Apple monitor into macbook too

All I can say is that it did not work with my MacBook Air (a 2011 model). Instead I bought "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to VGA Male to Female Adapter in White" for $13.99, and it works fine.

As long as it has a standard VGA connection it will work... I use mine to connect to a Samsung projector... HOWEVER, there are times it has been finicky... But I usually have luck when I connect it with my MacBook closed.

The people said "no" only knows half of the story. I am using this monitor for my early 2013 15" rmbp right now, and it works even for 2009 macbook pro (tested) at 1440p. Just need an adapter to achieve that which is ~$80 on amazon.

I do not have one to test, but if you mean Apples display port to DVI-D adaptors, they should work, but you need to check on something first. Try to look up if your adapter is "single link" or "dual link" DVI...If it is single, you will run into problems with the resolution of this monitor, you need to have a DUAL LINK cable for higher resolutions. Given that Thunderbolt displays I have seen are at high resolutions, I would presume that it would be dual link DVI.

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

Yes, the Apple Cinema Display is designed to work with the MacBook Pro. I have the late 2012, but I had the 2010 also. The Display not only works with the MacBook Pro, it provides power and a hub with usb, thunder bold, firewire, and either net all with a single cable.

to hook it up to a projector it fits nicely, but this item I bought for my Apple TV because it needs hdmi. So I am using my Apple TV to stream everything and show it through my LCD projector. You would only connect this to your laptop through the hdmi port and then connecting the VGA cord from the projector to the adapter

Yes it will. I have a Macbook Pro 2012 with the lightning symbol and it works well. Same goes for the HDMI and the DVI adapters also.

this should answer your question http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1534355 if you have the tiny connector, the adapter would be needed

It is the only type of power adapter that will work with the Apple Cinema Display to plug it into power. If you lose it, or it goes bad, you must get another one. Be careful though because if you also have lost the cord that plugs into the wall and then into the adapter make sure you get it also. Many of them on amazon and other places do NOT come with the power cord to the wall.

It probably doesn't since this type of display port is mostly in Macs. Maybe with a VGA to HDMI adapter it will work.

If you have an adapter for a VGA input yes. Mac uses other inputs depending on what year your mac is.

I would say yes. I bought this display for the same series macbook pro, but I have yet to install it. And your part no corresponds to the Apple number A1278 and thus should be compatible. Good luck.

No , I believe you will need the VeeCome Apple mini adapter DVI to VGA . If you go to this adapter on Amazon you can see the type of connector it fits and compare it to your screen auxiliary port.

Hello, If you check your Mac's model number and it's A1278 then you should be okay that is the way I was able to confirm.
