Can I connect my October 2010 Macbook Air to a Thunderbolt display?

Does it only work with the MacBook Airs that came out today?

Sorry but it only works with a Mac that has Thunderbolt. An october 2010 MacBook Air will therefore not work with it. But you can still purchase the older Apple LED Cinema Display for the next year or two.

  • Can new MacBook Air power 2 Thunderbolt displays?

    Can new MacBook Air power 2 Thunderbolt displays?

    Asked a similar question elsewhere. According to Apple Japan pre-purchase support, the answer is 'No, it doesn't have enough power in the graphics card". Big pity.

  • Macbook air to a thunderbolt display

    I have just connected my macbook air to a thunderbolt display, the fan runs continously. Is that normal

    The GPU is working harder because it has to manage two displays, and one of them with a big resolution. You should not be worried, more when fans are working correctly.
    What you can do is to decrease the Thunderbolt Display resolution in System Preferences > Displays, but note that you will lose image quality

  • How to charge mid 2011 macbook air battery using Thunderbolt display

    While trying to organize all my computer miscellaneous (cords, adapters & so on), I came across an adapter on a little card with the comment, "For use with your Thunderbolt Display and Mac with MagSafe 2 port." Appears to be for charging my mid 2011 MacBook Air via the Thunderbolt Display -- what might be the advantages/disadvantages in doing so? I found the info. in the product manuals to be pretty skimpy about this.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    So, I guess the adapter came with the display just in case I had a compatible Mac. I should have noted that on the card. Now, about the rest of the stuff in my Apple mystery box...that's for another day.
    Thanks, seb101, for your quick reply!

  • Can't connect to Wi-Fi MacBook Air 2012

    Hello,
    I know this issue has been posted already here, but I've had a real hard time trying to figure out what should I do in my case, so here is my situation:
    My MacBook Air 13", Mountain Lion 10.8.2 is experiencing problems to connect to Wi-Fi in public places. It was working very well until a week ago or so. I used to go to different cafeterias to work so I know it was working very well, but now I'm going to the same cafeterias and there is no way I can connect to the internet. The signal at the Menu Bar does indicate the connection is strong an solid, but when I want to connect to any website, invariably it tells me it couldn't connect.
    I am not that skillful with computers so if you have a suggestion for me, please explain to me as if I was a 5 years old non-native English speaker. Thank you so much for that! My English is good but sometimes I just miss things. Thank you so much everybody and looking forward!
    Carlos

  • Can't connect my iphone with macbook air

    Updated both my iphone 5s and my MacBook Air with latest software and was so excited to start using handoff, but it´s just not working.
    Maybe there´s someone who can help me and guide through all this.

    The following may help (although many are still having issues): Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite
    One thing that has been a source of confusion is people are attempting to pair the phone and Mac via Bluetooth. You cannot do that. Bluetooth needs to be on for both devices and they need to be in range but you cannot pair them. Here is an excellent article about that: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

  • When I connect my Macbook Air to the thunderbolt display the fans run constantly

    I dont understand.... but the fans seem to run at full speed the entire time I'm connected to the the thunderbolt display.
    My cpu usage is blow 10% and and the cpu temp from istat is showng as 72
    I understand the fans kicking in once in a while but these run for hours and hours at full speed (6496 rpm)
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I have the same issue. I've had the MBA for a couple months now and haven't had the fan kick up hardly at all. A few minutes after it's connnected to my new T'bolt display though it kicks in and stays on. I've updated firmware once but there may be others and it hasn't helped.
    Mine is in the closed position in a Book Arc and I've only got Chrome open for browsing so far.

  • I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

    I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

    If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection.  The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection.  If this is the case, you need this adapter.

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H4637ZM/A

    Somewhat the same as vazandrew, I don't know, haven't tested it, but since thunderbolt supports both HDMI and HDCP, I'd be inclined to think it would be OK. Of course you'd also need to make sure the resolution of the Apple Tv output was supported.

  • Can my 2010 MacBook Air use a thunderbolt to Ethernet cable?

    I believe the answer to my question is "No", but I am wondering if an Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter connected to the Display port to connect via Ethernet to a Router?  I do have a USB to Ethernet adapter that I know will work, but the Thunderbolt to Gigabyte Ethernet adapter could offer a faster connection. 

    No, because the Mini-DisplayPort on your MBA is only for video, whereas you would need a Thunderbolt port for the adapter you describe.

    Hi I just got my new Apple TV and I cant figure out how to connect it with My MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010- Processor  1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) OSX Version 10.8

    Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

    Drive Partition and Format
    1.Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
