Thunderbolt Display connection to MacBook Pro Mid 2010

I got a new display 27" and I have to read now that I can't connect this to my MacBook Pro Mid 2010. Older Displays are not sold anymore said the sales person and it is no problem to connect.
I can't beleave what I'm reading in this forum.
Is it true that Apple is not producing any Displays anymore for Persons how have bought their computer 2010?? I'm using Apple for more than 20 years now but that is now just totaly unaccepable.
1. The sales person telling me connection is no problem
2. Apple not producing a screen for "older" Hardware
So please Apple:  Find a solution for it. And please folks don't try to tell me it was written online somewhere hidden in the specs. ok?
Thanks for a answer ASAP
Mike

What you've asked is true.  You can buy similar displays from Dell or other manufacturers that will work with your laptop.  Many of the Dell's use the same internal LG panels, so quality is similar.

  • How do I connect my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 to a VGA monitor

    I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 that I would like to connect to a VGA LCD monitor. It connects and I get the mac book screen saver but no desktop icons or tool bar. Am I missing a setting?

    External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
    To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

  • HT5219 What specific adapter to I need to use my Thunderbold display with my MacBook Pro (mid 2010), running OS X 10.8.1??

    Do I have to install any additional software?

    Exactly what do you want to connect?  If it is a TV, then a minidisplay port HDMI cable is called for.  It would be something on the order of this (assuming you have a fairly new TV).

  • MacBook Pro mid 2010 - iMac late 2012 in target mode?

    Can I connect a MacBook Pro mid 2010 with Mini Display Port with a late 1012 iMac in target mode? Thanks.

    A 2010 MBP does not support Thunderbolt technology so that is not an avenue for you.  A Fire wire with one of these adapters should enable you to connect the two devices:

    How do I enable TDM?
    Make sure both computers are turned on and awake. 
    Connect a male-to-male Mini DisplayPort or ThunderBolt cable to each computer.
    Press Command-F2 on the keyboard of the iMac being used as a display to enable TDM.
    Note: In Keyboard System Preferences, if the checkbox is enabled for "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard functions keys," the key combination changes to Command-Fn-F2.

  • How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

    How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro? Or am I SOL?
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro6,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:    2.8 GHz
      Number of Processors:    1
      Total Number of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
      L3 Cache:    4 MB
      Memory:    8 GB
      Processor Interconnect Speed:    4.8 GT/s
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP61.0057.B0F
      SMC Version (system):    1.57f18

    You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

    Back again to mini display to hdmi cable.
    could you help me????

    It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

    However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2010 Battery Capacity

    I've read a few threads about this, mostly about battery capacity rapidly dropping after an install of ML. I installed ML when it first came out, and just noticed the drastic decrease in battery life about 3 weeks ago. My capacity could have potentially been dropping since I installed ML (and I just now noticed it), or it may have just started a couple weeks ago when I noticed. I'm not sure.
    Either way, my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) now has a battery life of less than an hour, even with extremely light processor load. I contacted Apple about this, and the tech said that the battery was rated for 1000 cycles. I'm currently at 220, and my battery capacity is a pathetic 30%. He said that since I wasn't under warranty, there was nothing they could do besides replace the battery - which I really want to avoid since I'm a broke college student.
    Is there anything I can do here? I understand that I'm not under warranty anymore, and this wouldn't be a problem if my battery was degrading normally. However, getting 1/5th of the recommended battery life is pretty sad. I've read that doing a clean install of Mountain Lion/Lion might help. Is there a way I can do this without having to back up all my files? I don't have an external hard drive or anything.
    It seems this is a common topic in these forums. Any help or links to solutions would be great. If this is answered in a similar topic, I'll gladly delete.

    The update could have exposed this hardware issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    However, I have noticed the same problem on my Mid 2012 Retina MBP when I have it plugged into my external display so it may be a software issue as well.
    Anyways you should probably try and get it fixed by Apple first if your laptop was bought within 3 years ago.

  • Does my macbook pro mid 2010 work with handoff?

    My macbook pro has airdrop which only worked once with my iPad air, now nether my macbook pro or my iPad air see one another, and handoff does that work with my macbook pro mid 2010?
    Thanks

    AIrDrop is different. Airdrop between Macs works with older Macs:
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    Handoff/continuity requires:
    Handoff and Instant Hotspot
    Handoff and Instant Hotspot are supported by the following Mac models, and require OS X Yosemite:
    MacBook Air (Mid 2012 and later)
    MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 and later)
    iMac (Late 2012 and later)
    Mac mini (Late 2012 and later)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    Handoff is supported by the following iOS devices and requires iOS 8. Instant Hotspot requires one of these iPhone or iPad devices with cellular connectivity and iOS 8.1. Instant Hotspot also requires Personal Hotspot service through your carrier.

  • Macbook pro mid 2010 13.3 inch - battery charging

    I have a Macbook Pro mid 2010, 13.3 inches.
    The battery stopped charging, I see the problem was the dc MagSafe. Replaced it, now only connects the laptop (I've tried with another battery and the problem persists, my battery works and usually carries another laptop) and work with it plugged in but not charging the battery.
    What should be the problem? Agurado suggestions ... I've tried the SMC, I tried to put another battery, etc etc, and the problem persists.
    I wish I could help.

    Open System Profiler>Power and post this from your MBP:
    (make certain that your charger is connected?
    Also run an Apple Hardware Test:
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook Pro Mid-2010 Crashing Randomly with Mavericks?

    Hey gang,
    I recently upgraded to Mavericks right after purchasing a used Macbook Pro mid-2010. However, more frequently, the laptop has been crashing randomly, and it does not matter which programs/apps are running when it does. Below is the latest crash report. I am looking for help to avoid the nonsense of having to deal with the Genius Bar if at all possible.
    If anyone could help me out and lend a helping hand as to what's causing the problem and how to fix it, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks so much.

  • MacBook Pro Mid-2010 Intermittent Shut-Down and Fuzzy Screen

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro Mid-2010 has been having some problems recently. Hope someone will be able to help me with this. Below are the symptoms that has been showing.
    Symptoms:
    1. Intermittent Shutdown
    2. Screen going fuzzy (when I give it a slight tap it will be fine but everything just hangs)
    3. 3 beep sound
    4. Can't start up (The sleep light will just stay on but nothing appears. I have to force shutdown and try starting it again.)
    I have recently done a clean install of Yosemite but the problem is still occuring.
    I also took it down to Singapore Apple Service Centre to try to get the problem fixed. But the initial tests shows that all the components in the Mac is working fine. I will need to pay for a full test as my Mac is out of warranty hence I did not send it in.
    Below is a copy of the recent log after it shut down by itself.
    Appreciate if someone can help me with this!
    Thank you!
    Regards,
    Kai Yuan

    I just had the same problem! Just installed Mavericks a couple of days ago but everything was running perfectly till just a couple of minutes ago watching netflix and working on Dreamweaver my macbook just shutdown. I had to Turn it back on and in the first try it shutdown immediatelly again, then i tried for second time and as soon as i got back into my account a bunch of programs start sending erros as my clock was set to a different date. My battery seems to be fine, i even check the report in the system preferences, it had 50% of battery and was plugged in so i am guessing that is not the problem.
    Here the report:
    Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          3356
      Fully Charged:          No
      Charging:          Yes
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          6626

    I had to have my motherboard replaced last year as my macbook its a 15 inch Mid 2010 so i took it to Mac Store.. they didnt charge me for anything as it is a problem that Apple acknowledge the problem was in their side. I am just hoping i dont have to deal with this again.

  • MacBook Pro (mid-2010) Internal USB HUB freezes/locks up

    MacBook Pro (mid-2010) wilth the latest firmware, etc.
    OS X 10.9.1
    USB KVM to share keyboard and mouse with another computer
    This has been working flawlessly until I upgraded to 10.9.1
    The KVM uses the Scroll Lock key to toggle the input between the two computers
    I switch back and forth many times a day.
    Almost once a day now, all my input to my MBP will lock up when switching the KVM over.
    The MBP track pad, keyboard, blue tooth Magic Mouse, KVM mouse and keyboard all become unresponsive.
    I am assuming that the interal keyboard/track pad/blue tooth transceiver are all tied to an internal USB HUB.
    The MBP is up and running and I can ssh into it.  The only error message in the log is that the mouse device coming from the KVM is busy and it will be disabled. I have tried to close the lid for several minutes and then re-open, but it does not resolve the issue. I have tried connecting another USB mouse/keyboard during this time and it will not work. I have tried kill -HUP on the usbd and USBAgent processes. Everything stays unresponsive. The only way to resolve this condition is to reboot the MBP.  Note: the KVM works find on the other computer when I switch it back and forth regardless of the state of the MBP.
    I am suspecting that when this happens it is some how disabling the internal USB HUB, which if all the other devices are connected through it, nothing no longer works (but maybe I am crazy with that thought).  Anyone have any insight?  Is there a way to reset the internal HUB short of a reboot?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm seeing the same problem with a 2010 Mac Mini with IOGear KVM and MS wireless mouse. This setup worked flawlessly for years on Snow Leopard but started hanging soon after the Mavericks upgrade. I'm running 10.9.4, currently the latest release. The system usually hangs after a KVM keyboard switch from Windows on the other set of KVM cables back to the Mac Mini. ssh into OSX works fine but a shutdown hangs indefinitely. top showed no processes spinning. The 1st console message after the hang was:
    8/6/14 8:49:21.000 PM    kernel[0]    USBF:    1317978.201    AppleUSBHubPort: Port 2 of Hub at 0x6200000 about to terminate a busy device (Microsoft® 2.4GHz Transceiver v7.0) after waiting 10 seconds
    There were no other messages for hours before this. I'm using VM Fusion but I think it hung once without it running. The Windows 7 side of the KVM works fine.
