Nope, you can only use it with a Thunderbolt port.

Can I use my Thunderbolt Display with my PS3?

Hi there, I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display and I was wondering if I could use it with my PS3. I know I'll need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter, but will I need anything else like a converter or can I plug it straight in?
Thanks

A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter can connect a HDMI display to a Thunderbolt port. It does not work in the other direction. If the PS3 has no Thunderbolt port, you can't use a Thunderbolt display. There are no adapters or converters that can help.

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 use a thunderbolt display with an hdmi converter to a PC?

I bought a Thunderbolt display, and have seen a ThunderBolt/MiniDisplay Port to hdmi converter.
Is it possible to use a ThunderBolt display as PC display if I use this converter?
thanks!

Probably not. Unlikely. The ThunderBolt/MiniDisplay Port-to-hdmi converters are intended for connecting the thunderbolt port on an Mac to an HDMI input on a display or TV. You can't assume these converters work backwards and without knowing exactly what converter you are talking about, and what video out your pc has ... it's impossible to say.
I would add that one should think long & hard about risking a $1000 Apple thunderbolt display by connecting it to something it wasn't designed for.

CAN I USE MYApple Cinema Displays WITH MY 13"mac book pro

Your 2014 MacBook Pro should have 2 Thunderbolt ports and 1 HDMI port. We need to find out what plug your Cinema Display has.
Does the Plug look like this:

If so, then its a DVI connector. And you would need a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port to DVI adapter.

If not, look on the underside of the Display's frame or base/stand, there should be a model number there.

Can't use my apple displays with Mac mini

Hey everyone,
I've got a pretty strange problem, and I'm hoping you guys know of a solution to this.
Thing is, I can't use any apple displays with my Mac mini box. Whenever I try to do so I can see that the monitors are turned on, but the screen is completely black (doesn't flicker or anything like that). I know for a fact that both of the apple monitors I tried work.
However, monitors from other manufacturers work just fine! This has got me baffled, what is it about apple monitors that's got my Mac so confused ?

It's possible the analog VGA is working on your mini whereas the DVI digital output is broken. They are two completely different interfaces that just happen to share a common connector on the mini.
Can you possibly get your hands on another, non-Apple monitor that has a DVI input? I would say if all three are not working (two Apple monitors and a third-party one), then definitely something is up with the mini's DVI output.

Can i use apple thunderbolt 27" with my pc?

Can i use apple thunderbolt 27" with my pc? wich one have dual dvi output? I know about converter ATlONA from dual dvi to minidisplay port. But it's not a thunderbolt. Please help me. Very Important for me to solve this problem.

Yes, it works, but if you want to use a function keys, you must download some programs as this. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&sl=cs&tl=en&u=http:/ /uxsoft.cz/Projects/AWK
I use it all the time and it works fine.

Can you use any external display with a macbook?

hi all,
I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

To original poster:
Yes.
Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).
Cheers,

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:

HT3939 Am An Iphone Costumer i purchased iphone 5 s in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

hello,
Am An Iphone Costumer i purchased an iphone 5S in UAE , Can i use it in India with Indian Sim Card ?

Well, surely you know which carrier you were using in the UAE when you purchased the phone?
You can tell if the phone is unlocked if you put a new sim card in the phone and it works - if you put a new sim card in the phone and it comes up with 'sim card invalid', then the phone is locked and you'll need to get it unlocked.

Can I use a thunderbolt DAS with 3 projectors and 1 display?

Hi, I want to know if is possible to use a Thunderbolt DAS (Promise Pegasus), with 3 HDMI projectors and 1 HDMI display (with active adapters), and have good performance with the DAS.
Thank you

In the Mac Pro late 2013, there are three ThunderBolt busses, each of which has two connectors. There is plenty of bandwidth to do the I/O you are talking about. As long as resolutions are 1080p or less, that fits nicely in HALF of a ThunderBolt-2 Bus, and another device can use the other half.
The Pegaus is limited by the speed of the drives and how many are actually active at once. Typical rotating drives can source data off the platters in the neighborhood of 125MBytes/sec, or about 1,000M bits/sec. Half a ThunderBolt-2 is ten times that.
You have specified too many HDMI displays, (which are considered "legacy" displays) for easy, cheap hookup. You will need mostly ACTIVE adapters, such as StarTech ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to HDMI, about US$40 each.

How can I use an external display with my MBP lid closed and disconnected to power?

I know that I can use an external display when my MBP lid is closed and it is connected to power. I was wondering why it does not work when the power cable is removed.
I only use an external display when I am at home so my MBP acts like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini in that way, but it is not good to leave the battery charging constantly on a MBP so I want to disconnect the power and use external display and have the lid closed. Is this possible or do I have to leave my lid open when running on battery power?

I'm plugged into my wall socket at least 90% of the time - probably more. I always make sure that I take my MBP off mains about once every two weeks and let it run down to about 30-40% and then plug it back up. This keeps the ions flowing and the battery healthy. My MBP will be one year old on March 20, 2013, and my battery health is still at 99%. I run in clamshell mode most of the time now - since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display. Only occasionally am I off mains - and then because I'm exercising my battery, usually.
Don't worry about running of mains most of the time - just be sure and unplug about once every two weeks (or twice a month) and let your battery dip to the 30-40% mark and you'll be fine.
Good luck,
Clinton
