Connect Ouya HDMI output to Thunderbolt Display

I recently purchased an Ouya video game system and would like to use it with my 27" thunderbolt display. Is it possible to do this? Can I use something like the Kanex XD Display Miniport converter to output hdmi to the thunderbolt display? Just to clarify, because everything seems to be reverse, I would like to output hdmi to thunderbolt or hdmi -> thunderbolt. Not thunderbolt to hdmi.

You can't do either - the TB Display only uses a TB port and no HDMI adapter works with the port.

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

These are User to User support Forums where we all help each other. No one from Apple replies here. Obviously we have no way of knowing why Apple does or doesn't choose to do something.

Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

Depends.
If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps.

How to connect two DVI screens to Thunderbolt Display's Thunderbolt Port?

Hi everyone,
I have a new MBP and an external Thunderbolt Display. The Thunderbolt Display itself has a Thunderbolt port, and I was wondering if there is anyway to connect to DVI screens to that. My goal is to have the Thunderbolt Display and 2 x 24" Samsung DVI screens connected to my MBP.
Alternatively, has anyone had success using a third party device like the Matrox 2 go to drive multiple monitors from the usb port?
Thanks,
Dave.

You could try a TB>DVI adapter (here's one from Monoprice) but I don't know that it will work - I'm thinking that you could have at least one of your Samsung displays use it. You may also want to see if you can find a HDMI>DVI adapter for your second Samsung display - something like this?
I know that I've seen three monitor set-ups on YouTube - but I'm not sure what was connected to what. Easy enough to daisy-chain ATDs but it gets a bit tougher when utilizing HDMI ports, etc., and I'm not sure about the GPUs ability to drive all three displays.
Oops - sorry - strike that second paragraph - I thought that you were running a Retina display MBP...

Connect two Macs to one Thunderbolt Display?

I am using a MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt Display. I own also a Mac Mini without Thunderbolt port but HDMI and wonder if I can connect this Mac mini to my Display as well using the second Thunderbolt port on the Display and a HDMI/Thunderbolt adapter? I have been searching for a HDMI/Thunderbolt switch but without success. Any other thoughts?

TB display will only work using TB port. There is no adapter that I know of to connect to any other type of port.

How to connect an HDMI monitor as 2nd display?

I want to connect an HDMI monitor to my MacBook Pro to use as my second monitor. I need to know what type of cable to use? I use iPhoto and iMovie extensively and it would really help to have a second monitor. Which port on the MacBook would I use?

If your MBpro has a MiniDisplay port or Thunderbolt port then you buy a MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. (The adapter will plug into the Thunderbolt port).

If you have the new retina model, it has a HDMI port built in.

Satellite P50-B-103 - Connect my HDMI output to a VGA monitor

Hello everyone,
I have just bought a satellite *P50-B-103*, which only has a HDMI output and I would like to connect it to an external VGA monitor.
I thought I only need to buy a HDMI - VGA converter but the buyer said to me that Toshiba, unless this model, is not prepared to connect to a VGA monitor although I use a converter.
Is it true or I can connect my laptop to the vga monitor using the converter?
Thanks in advance,
Charly

The point is that HDMI provides digital signal and the VGA (RGB) port support analogue signal.
To be honest I read many articles about such adapters and converters but in many cases such converters are useless.
So its no matter if your notebook was manufactured by Toshiba or other manufacturer.
Itsa matter of the signal standard supported by each port.

Xbox 360 (or other HDMI cable) to Thunderbolt Display

Hi all,
Is there a way to get HDMI in on the Thunderbolt Display? I'm looking for a minimal cost solution to play my Xbox on my display and have only found the Kanex HD, which I'm not even sure works with the Thunderbolt Display. Has anyone found another solution?

I cannot connect my keyboard to my thunderbolt display

I have tried plugging in my keyboard in various USB locations on my thunderbolt display; however, my keyboard doesnt work. I used my keyboard on other machines and it does work. My mouse is connected to my thunderbolt display as well; however, it does work....Suggestions?

I have tried every possible combination and the solution I found on MacRumours:
plug the external keyboard into the Thunderbolt display with an extra USB extension cable !

Macbook Pro 13"- HDMI output does not display 1920x1080

Hi
When I connect my Macbook Pro 13" to my Samsung 46" TV using the Apple HDMI to HDMI cable
The Macbook detects the TV but doesn't give me the option to change the resolution to 1920x1080
I have tried 1080p and 1080i but these does give me the correct setting either
Has anybody any ideas?

See
http://mac.bigresource.com/Hardware-Mini-Display-Port-NOT-working-at-resolutions -over-1600X1200--G5rVJl3Wm.html#Ae8cBkplo
Apple doesn't "do" 1920x1080 with non-Apple Studio monitors. It's bait & switch, a fraud, immoral, unacceptable. A Mac lover & evangilist for 20 years, I'm now likely to never buy another. I bought a new Asus monitor today, just to discover my MacBook Pro won't talk to it because Apple made their computer compatible with only overpriced Apple Studio monitors, not the leading brands.
Here's that post, pasted. The answer's the same for VGA and DVI.
Mac Pro :: Mini Display Port Not Working At Resolutions Over 1600X1200?
Problem:
Apple Mini Display Port does NOT work at resolutions over 1600X1200 on NON Apple Cinema Displays.
That means if you own any other brand of monitor such as NEC, Lacie, etc. you will NOT get native resolution on your 24 inch monitor as it is stuck at a maximum resolution of 1600X1200.
This story was mentioned on "Macbreak Weekly" show 4-14-2009. I have since checked with a few people and it would indeed seem to be true at this point.
I REALLY hope a solution from Apple comes soon and this is not some new policy of theirs. If so, it may be the last Mac Pro I will or can ever own. The reason is I do a lot of 3D work with C4D, Vue, Modo and Photoshop CS4 so I MUST have a monitor like the high-end ones from Lacie that have 100% color gamut and Adobe RGB. I can NOT be tied down to an Apple Cinema display due to that work. At this time, it seems this means I would only get 1600X1200 resolution on that 24 inch monitor.
I am HIGHLY concerned by this. Has anyone else confirmed this too and if so what the heck is Apple thinking or better still going to do about it? I LOVE my Mac Pro but if they start forcing Apple displays on us then I won't be buying another Mac, it's just that simple.

Can the new maxed out 5k iMac connect up to 2 apple thunderbolt displays?

Is that possible? Will there be any lags or overheat or any potential problems?

Sure it can. On overheating no one can answer because they simply haven't gotten into the field yet. Look in the help forums in a couple of months to see if you find overheating issues, but remember these forums are like visiting a hospital. You can't get an accurate representation of the whole populations health by what is happening in a hospital.

Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
AHHH??!!!!!! Was that your original question?? I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display. If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO.... You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
-ais-swiss
Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Here are two different statements from that webpage:
So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.

MacBook Pro getting really hot when connected to a Thunderbolt display

Hi everybody,
I had this problem since I can remember, when I connect my MBP to the Thunderbolt display the laptop is getting hot and the CPU-Fan is working preatty laud.
I had to turn radio on because it is quite anoying
Here some technical data:
MacBook Pro 15-inch, Late 2011
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Serial Number C0******V7L
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
SDD: Crucial M4 CT512M4SSD2 2.5" 512GB SATA III
I don't have any haevy programs running but, I think, also the load average is a bit high. In most cases around 2.0 But when it is not connected to the display it's not getting that hot.
Any idea what the problem may be? Or maybe it's jus normal?
Regards,
Radek
<Edited by Host>

I'm seeing similar behavior when I disconnect my TBD. My Retina MBP doesn't go to sleep. I get to work an hour later and it is very hot to the touch.
I'm not seeing lots of people complaining, so I wonder if it's something weird I do. Do you have VMWare Fusion or XQuartz running when you try and sleep?

HDMI output not working with AT 200 under ICS

Hello,
I connected the HDMI output to a Sony KDL 32 E 5500. It simply does not work.
The same TV HDMI input works fine with a DVD player.
The AT 200 tablet is under ICS (upgrade in France).
I tried both HDMI configurations : full screen and video window.
Should I send it back for repair ?

Hi
There are two outputs: Mirror and video area only.
Mirror:
External device copies the image on the tablet screen
Video area only:
The external display device shows the playback when open a multimedia
But You should firstly check the Android Settings:
Under the option Screen you will find the option HDMIO video mode
Tap this to switch between the HDMI video output mode.
You could also try to connect the HDMI device under following conditions:
- Tablet is turned on
- Tablet is completely turned off
- when you connect TV or external monitor to HDMI port, then display output is set to HDMI
- when you plug and replug the cable, wait at least 5 sec before you replug the HDMI cable.

Can not select TV speakers when connected via HDMI

I have a MBP fully updated connected to a Sony TV vis HDMI/miniport. Up until today this configuration was working fine. Suddenly, I can no longer select the HDMI speakers in my audio preferences. They are recognized and appear on the list but when I select them it has no effect. Before today, when the TV was connected the HDMI output would be automatically selected and I could not access the volume control from the menu bar, which is the way I prefer it.
I have restarted with no success in changing this behaviour. If I open/close the lid, the sound goes to the proper settings for about 2s but then the HDMI speakers are de-selected and the built-in speakers are highlighted. I can manually select the TV speakers but the setting has no effect.
However, I *am* getting audio output through the TV but can not control volume from the mac or any app. I slide the volume slider on the menu bar and the audio output does not change. The sound is also playing from the laptop speakers which is highly annoying.

and now there is no audio through the TV at all. TV works fine with other inputs such as PS3. Any help?
