Can firewire connect to thunderbolt

Can a firewire 800 be connected to the thunderbolt port of the Mac mini or Macbook air?

Short answer: no.
Long answer: If you purchase one of the recently available
                     docks that connect to the Thunderbolt port that
                     are equipped with a Firewire port or an Apple
                     Thunderbolt display, yes.
Thunderbolt and Firewire are two totally different technologies.

Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302

HT5219 Can I connect my thunderbolt monitor to my MacBook Pro and iMac at the same time

I am wanting to connect my thunderbolt monitor to my MacBook Pro as a secondary monitor when running programs in windows 7 thru boot camp, and also have it connected to my iMac as a secondary monitor when working thru apps on my iMac. Is there a way to do this without having to connect and disconnect cables each time I want to switch.

I don't think it can be done without a KVM switch, & not sure they can handle that resolution.

Can I connect my thunderbolt display's power cable to supply power to the new retina display macbook pro?

I'm planning to buy a new retina display macbook pro, but I have a thunderbolt display and I use the display's power cable to supply the power to a macbook air. As the power connector on the new macbook pro is differet, It looks to me that I won't be able to connect it to the new computer. I'm I correct?

You'll just need this adapter, which you can buy or order with the computer:

Can I connect my Thunderbolt Display to a gen4 iPad?

iPad has the lightening connector not 30-pin.
Thank you!

You cannot directly connect an iPad, iPod or an iPhone to a Thunderbolt or Cinema Display but what you can do is install a piece of software on your mac called reflector (reflector is free but to have unlimted time with it you have to buy it).
You can find the download page and more information here: http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

How Can i connect using Thunderbolt a Macbook Pro with the New iMac

I bought the new Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt and instead of buying a new external monitor, i am thinking that the new iMac with Thunderbolt is a great idea.
Is there a cable to connect the Macbook Pro and use as iMac as external monitor, using Thunderbolt.
thanks

I understood your question perfectly and the answer is absolutely yes. When you change the iMac into target display mode you underlying operating system continues to run all existing applications. For example in my case if I finished editing some video and am about to enter a lengthy render process or something which may draw lots of resources like hand real, I set it to start on the iMac and then switch it to target display mode to use it as a monitor with my MacBook air in the meantime.
Only one small caveat in your case though. Since the target display mode is a feature of OSX (eg the OS interprets the special key stroke and changes the iMac into target display mode) you should make sure Lion server supports the target display mode feature. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't but that's the only thing currently crossing my mind. Keep in mind the compatibilities between ports as noted in my blog. If any of your machines have mini display port and you intend to connect the new iMac in target display mode you will run into issues. In that special scenario, I recommend buying a refurb iMac from 2010 which urtilize the displayport allowing you to use it as a display for all your macs -- those with thunderbolt as well as those with displayport. If you have thunderbolts then definitely go with the thunderbolt iMac.

Can i connect apple thunderbolt display to an windows base pc

is it possible to connect thuynderbolt display to windows base pc throu dvi or hdmi???

No. No PCs have Thunderbolt Ports- It is exclusively avaliable on a Mac. Plus Converters have not yet been invented. Even is they were, you would not get the 10GB per second. Suggest getting either the Apple Cinema Diaplay or getting a "Made For Windows" Display.

When in windows 7 can i connect a thunderbolt hard drive and an external monitor

i was wondering if i can daisychain a drive and external display in windows 7 via the thunderbolt port
many thanks
arby

ok guys
i got it all working
bit of a fannying around but heres the info
you need a bit of third partysoftware for window 7 to see the lacie little big disk (thunderbolt)
first up
you need to let it add a few drivers
re boot
let it add a few drivers
reboot
then for some reason my ethernet and wifi adaptors had vanished
so right click, my computer, device manger
click on the 3 drivers that i think were in other devices that were not yet fuctioning
and reinstall drivers for each the devices are
ethernet
wifi
base device (once driver reinstall this is actually THUNDERBOLT)
then jump to
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/pro/
this allows you to mount apple raid volumes
quick 69.99 usd later and a reboot and your LACIE THUNDERBOLT LITTLE BIG DRIVE is fully accessable in windows 7
it also allowed the daisychaining of my external display
so alls good in bootcamp land
thought id share as it took me 2 hours or so to find the solution that LACIE says does not exist

Can i connect a Thunderbolt monitor to my Windows laptop?

Apple tech support says I can use my Thunderbolt monitor with my Windows 7 laptop if I purchase a mini display port-to-HDMI cable. Is this correct?

No.

Is there a way to connect a Thunderbolt Display to a PC running Windows 7?

I am thinking about purchasing a 27 in. display for my home office. Can I connect a Thunderbolt Display to my work computer ( HP notebook running Windows 7)?
Thanks,

Not unless the notebook has a Thunderbolt port (unlikely).

HT5219 Can some one please help me clarify if I can set up two thunderbolts as split screens to my Macbook pro 15" (October 2011)? Thanks

There is a lot of different answers to this on the internet but all different. The Luxembourg Apple retailers are not able to give a real answer either.
Please don't answer too technical as I am no IT expert.
Thanks

How can I connect my existing firewire drives to the "new" Macbook pro

I'm thinking about getting a new Macbook Pro, to take on the road.
I already have four external drives with firewire and USB 2.0 ports.
After I looked at the new machine I noticed it only had USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports.
I dont see any Firewire to Thunderbolt technology out there nor do I see any USB3.0 to anything technology. How can I connect my drives to the new system?

You can use the USB3 connections for USB2. That's downward compatible. Just runs at USB2 speed.
Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire. But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).
