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.

  • Can i use the thunderbolt display with a windows laptop running a AMD Radeon HD 8600M Series

    Running windows 7 on a Dell laptop with docking station connecting to thunderbolt display using a mini display port DVI adapter. Windows machine will not detect the display. Any ideas?

    No - a Thunderbolt display won't work with a mini-Displayport source, even though the cable will fit.

  • 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 a Thunderbolt monitor to my Windows laptop?

  • 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/

  • Hi, I just got an Apple Thunderbolt Display. How can I connect it to my sony vaio pc? Thanks

    Hi, I just got an Apple Thunderbolt Display. How can I connect it to my sony vaio pc? At Apple Store they gave me a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter, but monitor doesnt display any image. Thanks for your help!

    no, your computer needs to have thunderbolt technology. does it?
    if not, no adapter can make a thunderbolt display work on a non-thunderbolt computer.
    someone was likely confused since miniDP will FIT into a TB socket but is only compatible one way, ie a mDP display can work on a TB machine, but a TB display cannot work on a mDP machine

  • Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Is it possible to connect a MacBook Pro (prev model 2009, 2.26ghz) to an Apple Thunderbolt display:  will the cable fit?

    Sorry it won't work.  It will fit but the laptop can't communicate with it.  Please see many of the other threads here, specifically this one just above your post, that is discussing this exact question.
    Apple's specs for the ThunderBolt display state that it needs a ThunderBolt-enabled computer.  Your laptop has a mini-display port connection so it is not compatible with the new displays.

  • Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009?

    Apple thunderbolt display can work with a macbook pro 2009 (mini display port? The image passes through the mini display port to the monitor, but the connections (Firewire, USB, ethernet) do not work. Can you confirm?

    I'd love to get confirmation if this is the case too.   I was all ready to buy the new iMac until I found I couldn't use it as an external monitor for my DisplayPort-based MacBook Pro.  And then I was all ready to buy the new display.
    I really hope Apple hasn't restricted this to purely Thunderbolt-equipped Macs. I know I'll end up upgrading my MacBook at some point but I can't do so just yet, and this means I'll have to go for some third-party display, camera, speakers etc for the new Mac Mini which is crazy.

  • There is no display on Apple Thunderbolt display, when Daisy chain connect with six LaCie Little Big Disks.

    Hi, Everyone,
    I have aquestion with Thunderbolt daisy chan.
    I have six LaCie Little Big Disks and Apple Thunderbolt Display to make daisy chan and I got a problem.
    I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront, and Apple Thunderbolt Display does not show anything.
    If I plac the dell u2711 (DP1.1) Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront , dell u2711(DP1.1) displays.
    If I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of  the chain,and five LaCie Little Big Disks infront. Apple Thunderbolt Displays well.
    Is it because the hardware limitation that Thunderbolt daisy chan can only have maximum 6 Thunderbolt deivce?
    Apple Thunderbolt Display Should be DP1.2, why it doesn’t display?
    My workstation running Windows 7x64 or Windows8.1x64
    Thanks ,Myron

    if you reduce the number of disks to 5 and the display works, I think we'll have your answer.

  • I urgently need to know how I can connect 8 thunderbolt display, I was thinking with the new mac pro will come out, but I wonder if it is possible to connect an iMac to 4GB of graphics card, but suffers from the imac. thanks

    I tightened all HD screws and it didn't help. With the machine running and side of the case off, I physically stopped both the video card fan and the front case fan with my finger for a couple seconds and the noise continued. I also took all hard drives out one by one and rebooted each time. Again, the noise continued until I took out the Mac HD in Bay 1, rebooted, and I had a very quiet, silent machine. The issue is the hard drive in bay 1 that shipped with the computer, it's without a doubt causing the hum/woosh sound. I still need to know if I can safely swap the Mac HD from bay 1 to bay 4 without any issues to the operating system. I would like to try that to see if it dampens the noise but I also want to make sure this swap won't screw up my machine at all.

  • Apple thunderbolt display - Can i work it with the new MacBook Pro's, which have a HDMI Output?

    I Bought my Apple thunderbolt display around 2 years ago now, tougther with my MacBook pro. I am thinking of switching my MacBook out tough with a new one this summer.
    But will the new 2013/2014 macbook's work with my thunderbolt display???
    /Nikolaj

    Yes.  The New Retina MacBook Pro has two Thunderbolt ports.  Plug the display into one of the Thunderbolt ports.
    You will need a MagSafe adapter.

  • W540 and 2 apple thunderbolt displays

    Hi
    I have just brought a W540 with windows 8.
    I am trying to connect two apple thunderbolt displays (daisy-chain) to the thunderbolt port on the W540.
    The W540 can only detect one of the displays – anyone who knows how I can get both displays to work ?
    In advance thank you

    I'm not really familiar with the Thunderbolt implementation on the W540, so someone else will have to pitch in.
    Does the display work properly with any other machines?
    W520: i7-2720QM, Q2000M at 1080/688/1376, 21GB RAM, 500GB + 750GB HDD, FHD screen

  • 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.
