How do I get my old Cinema Display to work with my new MacBook Pro?
Apple Cinema Display not working on new MacBook Pro
I bought a new MacBook Pro 2018 and I'm having problems connecting it to my Mac Cinema Display. The new MacBook Pro has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports and nothing else. With my old MacBook Pro I used the DVI adapter that comes out of the Cinema Display. I then plugged that into a mini display port to DVI adapter and plug that into the old MacBook Pro. (This one: Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple) That always worked fine and I could have 2 screens when I'm in my office.
I bought this adapter USB-3-1 to Thunderbolt from Amazon but the Cinema Display stays black and doesn't appear in the System Preferences Display tab:
