I'm having trouble using thunderbolt display with my mac desktopy

The display works fine withe the MacBook Pro but I can't get it to work with MacPro desk top

Your Mac Pro does not have a thunderbolt port.  It will only work with the Cinema display.

  • Can I use Thunderbolt Display with 2007 Mac Pro?

    I dropped my 30" Cinema Display and it's totaled.
    I have a number of newer systems with Thunderbolt Displays.
    Can I get a video card? to put in my 2007 Mac Pro Quad Core that will allow me to use the Thunderbolt display? If not, what should I do short of finding a replacement 30" Cinema Display?
    Thank you!

    Shoot. I was afraid of that. Have you ever done anything so stupid!!!?
    Thanks so much for the response. I'll try to dig another up. An expensive klutz move.

  • Use thunderbolt display with ps3

    Hi
    I've seen some threads with the same question, but there old and no complete answers.
    So I'm asking again.. Is there way to use thunderbolt display with playstation 3?

    A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter can connect a HDMI display to a Thunderbolt port.  It does not work in the other direction.  If the PS3 has no Thunderbolt port, you can't use a Thunderbolt display.  There are no adapters or converters that can help.

  • Is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    is it possible to use 2 displays with the mac mini

    I wanted an extended desktop using 2 monitors.
    I am using a Dell Ultrasharp ( has 1 VGA and 1 DVI-D) and a LG W2286 (has 2 HDMI, 1 DVI-D and 1 VGA)
    I ran into a similar issue where initially the mac would not detect the 2 displays and I thought I would share my solution.  I have a Mac Mini 10.8.2 i7 Late 2012.
    I bought a "Cable Matters" brand Mini Display Port | Thunderbolt to DVI Male Cable to have dual monitors.
    I am also using the included in the box  HDMI to DVI-D Adapter from Apple.
    Initial configuration was:
    Mini-Display (Thunderbolt connector) to DVI connected to the LG DVI-D input.
    Apple HDMI to DVI Dongle connected to the Dell DVI-D input.
    What happened was that my desktop was on the LG clear as day but OSX did not see the dell monitor.
    I called apple support and they could not figure out why the mini cant see the dell monitor. I think I discovered that the mac mini could not support 2 dvi monitors.
    I switched the monitor connections.
    The connections that works:
    HDMI out to HDMI in on the LG using a standard HDMI cable.
    Display port | Thunderport to DVI-D on the Dell's DVI-D in.

  • Using Thunderbolt Display with Alienware Laptop

    I want to also use my thunderbolt display with a m18x alienware laptop which has HDMI out and a mini display port.  Is there any way I can use this display with this laptop either directly or with an adapter?
    Thanks

    I don't think so, as far as I am aware the connection between the system and the Thunderbolt display has to be a thunderbolt connection.  There are reports that even pre-Thunderbolt Mac systems with a mini-display port don't work.

  • How can I use two displays with my Mac Mini?

    How can I connect two displays to my Mac Mini (newest generation with one thunderbold and one hdmi)?

    Have you tried connecting one to the HDMI output, and another to the Thunderbolt port (with the appropriate Mini DisplayPort-to-other connection adapter as needed)?

  • Can I use Dual Displays with New Mac Mini (HDMI   Thunderbolt)

    Hello Everyone,
    This question may have been asked before... but I just purchased a beautiful new Mac mini and it has an HDMI port in the back and a Thunderbolt port.  I am using a new DELL 23" HDMI monitor that also accepts DVI.   I think I could run another monitor on the Mac Mini, but I don't know which is the best way to go... I purchased a mini-display port to DVI adapter because I heard thunderbolt could accept the mini-display cable.
    1.  Should I purchase the other identical Dell monitor and then run it on Thunderbolt 2 DVI and run it DVI
    2.  Or is there a HDMI splitter that splits the signal into two cables and go that way?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated  Thanks!

    I just got the mini server and run a 24" LCD off the HDMI port and a 19" off the displayport (adapter to DVI) and it works a treat there's no need for any splitter.

  • I am still having trouble using my 551L with Mac OS X. Any Advice?

    For a little while I was able to get it to work by Unplugging everything else from the 4 USB Ports on my Mid Year 2010 Mac Mini (the $699.99 Model at the time, NOT the $999.99 Model at the time), but it has now Stopped working again. I do have access to Apple Mac USB Diagnostic Tools, as I am in the Paid Apple Developer Programs (the $99 a year Memberships at http://developer.apple.com/ by the way) and I will Download and Run the Tool if Necessary. I was just wondering if anyone else here is having the same problem as me, and I have actually talked with Verizon (on the Phone) about this issue once before, by the way. TIA.

        Hi there Kev815pan!
    I can only imagine how tedious this has been for you.  I use my usb modem all of the time and I want yours to work just as easy as mine!
    I triple checked my resources and I found that having the most current Apple OS as well as the most current version of VZ Access Manager by visiting www.vzam.net.
    Please advise if these steps have helped!
    Thanks,

  • Is anyone having trouble using Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 7?

    I've just started using Dreamweaver and thought I could import source code from an HTML newsletter template I had and just update it with the new text and pictures. I started a new HTML page, imported the source code into the workspace, then started updating it. However, all I get is code when I try to preview the file in the design view or a web browser. What am I doing wrong? I've attached a screen cap of what I'm seeing.
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Just a nit - you are not *importing* anything.  You are just copying and pasting.  I'm just sayin'.
    When you paste HTML code into Design view, all of the HTML brackets ("<" and ">") are converted to HTML entities ("&lt;" and "&gt;", respectively), which makes the result look like code in Design view, but there is no 'display' to be rendered other than the text.

  • Jsp newbie having trouble using JSP's with Jdev 10.1.3

    Hi,
    Have been bashing my head for about two hours with this, if anyone can help will substantially improve my life.
    First off apologies if question is stupid or obvious I am a jsp newbie.
    Have been experimenting with using the Jsp Taglibrary for tabbed panes in a browser.
    http://www.ditchnet.org/tabs/
    I have followed all the installation instructions but in JDeveloper when I build I get the message
    Error(18,2): method setJspContext(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext) not found in class org.ditchnet.jsp.taglib.tabs.handler.TabConfigTag
    Any idea what jar file I'm missing.
    I'm a bit lost, thanks

    Arrrrrrrrgh,
    Sorted my problem.
    Rebuilt project, works fine now, no idea what was going on (just generally!).
    Thanks for input Shay

  • I'm having trouble using Firefox 4 with Tor Project software. Please help. Will there be an updated Tor Button add-on for Firefox 4.0 soon? If not, how can I get rid of 4.0 and go to an earlier, but stable Firefox version?

    I'm trying to use Tor Project for anonymous browsing. I updated my Firefox to 4.0, but I can't get a Tor Button to download, because it isn't available for Firefox 4.o.
    Will it be soon?
    If not, how do I go back to an earlier, stable version of Firefox that supports Tor Button browsing?
    Thanks much!

    See if the "stable" version released on 30 June is compatible with Firefox 5.0. That page doesn't mention which versions of Firefox it is compatible with, a serious oversight, IMO. <br />
    https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/
    Plus, it looks like that developer hasn't updated his AMO page in over a year, which makes it impossible for users of that add-on to get automatic updates as each new version of Firefox is released. <br />

  • I'm having trouble using multiple displays on Mac Pro 2006 (OS X 10.6.8).  System Preferences does not detect my projector.  Suggestions?

    When I enter System Preferences and select Displays, I am given a button to direct OS X to Detect Displays.  But when I choose the button, nothing seems to happen.  There are only two tabs visible--Display and Color--neither of which has anything to do with getting the software to recognize that a second cable has been

    The image and table detail the 15-pin VESA DDC2/E-DDC connector; the diagram’s pin numbering is that of a female connector functioning as the graphics adapter output. In the male connector, this pin numbering corresponds with the mirror image of the cable’s wire-and-solder side.
    at least some of pins 4, 10,11, 12, and 15 should be connected to pass EDID data through.

  • I am having trouble syncing my iPhone with my Mac.

    It will go through the syncing process but when it finishes nothing is synced.

    Try the iPhone 4 or the iCloud forum areas. 

  • I having trouble using time machine

    I having trouble using time machine on my mac. When I click it, it wants me to set it up. When I click on that it says  to select backup disk but there is nothing on the page, it's blank.  What do I do next?

    Have you connected the Hard Drive you want to storage your backup? If the answer of this question is yes, you need to format it in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" It can be a NTFS drive and you are probably using macfuse to have permission to read and write it time machine can't write on NTFS (As far as I know) Hope it helped

  • Hello. I am having trouble using Mobileme with microsoft oulook 2010. .The error Mobileme has stopped working . Can anybody help. ??Thanks

    Hello
    I am having trouble using Microsoft Outlook 2010. When starting Microsoft Outlook displays the error message Mobileme has stopped working. Can anybody help.
    Thanks

    Well yes, of course you are having trouble using MobileMe because MobileMe no longer exists and has not existed for the last 2 years at least.
    MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud, so you will never be able to use MobileMe because it does not exist.
    Also, I would suggest that you look more closely before you post, because you have posted this in an iPhone forum and this question has nothing to do with iPhones.  You would get more help if you posted in the correct forum.
