2000$ worth of 27inch Thunderbolt Monitors and I cannot daisy chain them reliably. Please help.
I've got 2000$ wrapped up in 2 Thunderbolt monitors and I cannot daisy chain them with a 3000$ 15 inch Retina macbook Pro. This is completely unacceptable and I hope someone knows how to fix it.
At certain points since June or July when I first got all the gear I got it to work but never since. The thunderbolt display is recognized but nothing appears on the screen -- this is ridiculous considering how much I dropped on this rig.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
Tim

I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?
Hall Palm Desert,
if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro. -

If you downloaded it, it's likely in your Downloads folder as a Disk Image .dmg. Just open it and intall Flash player and restart your browser. Everything should work.

Try a reset (click on that down pointing arrow) and also if you have a Mac, toggle the green resize button. It usually forces Bridge to resize to the screen.
If worse comes to worse, reset Bridge's Preferences as explained here: Troubleshoot errors, freezes | Adobe Bridge | Windows, Mac OS
When I use a external larger monitor, I select just that monitor. -
my ipod classic is stuck in the 'this game cannot be launched'mode.as a result i cannot use it for any think.it is not full.
thanks for your help.Try resetting the device. The hard drive may not be full, but the device RAM might be. If resetting doesn't work then perhaps you have many large playlists and these are reducing the amount of free RAM for games.

Thunderbolt Monitor causing severe lag in FCPX 10.1.2 - Help!
So, I have been using final cut X for a while with a 2012 Retina MBP connected to a thunderbolt G-raid and the apple thunderbolt monitor. I have had sevre lag and beach balling in FCPX every single time its plugged into my thunerbolt monitor - however when the laptop is no connected FCPX runs much much smoother.
I obviously would like to use my 27inch amazing thunderbolt monitor and not have to settle for something else - unless there is something that is better at this resolution for editing?
Help!!!!Are you connecting the Thunderbolt display to the Mac to use for mirroring or are you only use the Thunderbolt display for FCPX editing?
I don't use mirroring on purpose as it tends to slow OS X down a bit.
Also, this way you are not powering the Mac and Thunderbolt display at the same time. I use the adapter that came with my MB Air for that.

Where can I get a Thunderbolt SPLITTER? (Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt & Thunderbolt.) I cannot daisy chain because of no Thunderbolt OUTPUT on the chassis.
I have been keeping up with the Thunderbolt stuff for a year now. It is pretty disappointing that no one, Apple or otherwise seems to have any interest in Thunderbolt. I have a Thunderbolt external drive, and I am quite pleased with its speed.
I think there is an inherent flaw in how Thunderbolt works. It relies on devices to be daisy chained together. This is great concept, but there's a problem. Say I have a Thunderbolt Buffalo external drive, a Blackmagic Intensity device, and a monitor that connects via the Thunderbolt port. Oh wait, all 3 devices must be at the end of the chain! Even if I was to spend over $1000 on the apple monitor, I am still limited to the number of devices I can connect.
In other words if most Thunderbolt devices have to be at the end of the chain, then how on earth can the technology ever be truly useful? -
