Apple Cinema Display 30" Won't Power On With USB Plugged In
This was killing me the other day. My monitor would work just fine, as long as the USB dongle wasn't plugged into the computer. This is a problem, as my keyboard USB cable is too short to reach the computer itself. After a bit of frustration, I found a solution and I thought I'd unleash it on the intertrons. 1) Unplug the DVI cable and the USB cable from the back of the computer.
2) Unplug the power connector from the power brick (the small one, not the one that goes to the wall).
3) Plug the monitor's USB cable into the computer.
4) Plug the power connector back in to the brick.
5) Plug the DVI cable back into the computer. That works for me. Blech, that was a pain in the butt. I'm mad at you, Apple.
