Mac Mini to Apple led cinema display I have a Mac Mini on order and also an older Apple led cinema display with this spec: Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512 MB graphics. The output cord on the display looks like this, it has one USB, one display output, and one other connector that I have no idea what it is. What adapter can I buy to allow the Mac Mini to display on the Apple LED display? I hope I can get display to work with new Mac Mini.

Mac Mini M2 to LED Cinema Display I wish to connect my new Mac Mini to my 'old' Apple LED Cinema Display. The latter only has a mini Display port connector. Apple Helpdesk says that an HDMI to Mini Display port connector will work Apple shop expert says that there is no way to connect an M1/2 computer to an Apple LED Cinema Display. He tried it, and nothing works. the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 (min display port) adapter does not work. Can one connect an M1/2 mac mini to an Apple LED Cinema Display at all? And if so, what connector will actually work?

You'll need a Thunderbolt4/USB-C to mini DisplayPort adapter similar to this offering at Amazon to connect the display.

For the camera and speakers to work you'll need a USB-C to USB adapter such as this offered by Apple.
