Can I use DisplayPort (for a monitor) and Thunderbolt at the same time?

Hi all,
I have a mid 2011 MacBook Air 13 inch with a single Thunderbolt port.
I have the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter cable which I am able to use to run a Dell 24 inch monitor - this cable connects to both the DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port and also a USB port on the Air.
I want to be able to run this Dell monitor, and also run a Thunderbolt hard drive - one with 2 Thunderbolt ports.
Is this possible?
Can I connect the DisplayPort part of the cable to the pass-through Thunderbolt port on the hard drive, and then connect the hard drive to the Thunderbolt port on the Air?
Thanks, for any advice :-)
I would like to buy the Apple Thunderbolt display (which would solve this issue), but I suspect it will may refreshed soon. So I don't intend to get one until then.
Thanks :-)

OK,
I have tried this myself and it does work.
Macbook Air - connect to Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt (Using Thunderbolt cable)
Seagate Goflex Thunderbolt passthrough to a Dell 24 Inch monitor (using Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter cable).
Both the Seagate GoFlex and the Dell 24 inch monitor work :-)
I am happy with this result, so I won't need to get a Thunderbolt moniter just yet - I will wait for Gen 2 :-)

    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

  • Can I watch video through my iPhone and TV at the same time?

    Can I watch video through my iPhone and TV at the same time while using the Apple composite video cables? I am planning a trip in my car and would like to play videos for my kids through their video screen while my wife watches on the iphone from the passenger seat. I didn't want to spend $50 to find out it doesn't work.
    Thanks in advance!

    It doesn't work that way, sorry. When video out is being utilized, only the movie artwork (the cover or image) is displayed, and the actual movie is not displayed on the iPhone's screen.

  • Monitor and capture at the same time?

    Is it possible to view/monitor a video (live from a quickcam) and capture at the same time?
    I looked at the solution here:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/index.html
    And found "Video Capture Utility with Monitoring" sample program. However it only allows capture! There is no live display of video viewing while the capture is happening.

    Actually, the sample program works once I uncheck Audio.
    I do not have any Audio input device, so I guess that is causing the problem.

  • Can I use one GBIP-Interface with two programs at the same time?

    Hi, I have one PCI-GBIP-controller with multiple instruments installed. Now I want to use these instruments with two differents programs at the same time.
    E.g.: program 1 uses GPIB0::1 and GPIB0::3
    and program 2 uses GPIB0::4 and GPIB0::7
    Is this possible??
    When I have tried to do this, I always got timeout errors..
    Thanx in advance.

    Hi,
    You shouldn't have any problems accessing different devices from different programs using the same interface. I even used the two VIs to communicate with the same device. Although not the best approach, VISA didn't return any errors.

  • Find my friends app. Can I use it for my daughter if we share the same Apple id.

    FInd my friends app. Can I use for my daughter if we share the same Apple id log in information?

    No. stevejobsfan0123 is right - from Find My Friends: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support mentioned above in the post saying yes, it clearly says:
    Can I use Find My Friends on more than one device at a time?
    Yes. You can sign in to Find My Friends and use it from any iOS device you own. However, only ☞ one device can transmit your location ☜ to your followers.

  • Can't connect to internet via router and airtunes at the same time

    Can anyone help me connect to the internet via my BT Homehub, and play AirTunes through my Airport base station at the same time? I can only seem to do one at a time.
    I've seen the articles about setting up clients etc but don't get it. Using the Airport Assistant utilty doesn't really help either. Would like someone to go through the steps I need to follow.
    Thanks

    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select your BT Homehub wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • On my PC, can I have both indesign 5.5 and 6 at the same time?

    I like working in indesign 5.5 for one magazine but i need indesign 6 for another. Can i install indesign 6 and run them both at the same time?
    Do i need the full version of both or is the upgrade to 6 enough to do this?

    The upgrade and non-upgrade versions differ only in price and the installer looking for a qualified upgrade product. The programs themselves are the same.
    As we said before, you will have no problem with both versions installed (I run back to CS3 here). If you purchase an upgrade, though, you must choose the right one. If CS5.5 is a Suite package you cannot use an InDesign-only upgrade.

  • Can I run two midi controllers (keyboard  and pad) at the same time?

    ie.....can I play keyboard and use a pad for an effect of some sort - creating two instraments at the same time. I want to play say, piano on one instrament w/ a keyboard and at the same time play a synth effect on a trigger pad with another instrament (es 2)????????

    Yes.
    set 2 instruments to different midi channels.set the keyboard and pad to match.
    record enable both tracks in arrange.
    check: file/song settings/recording/auto demix by channel if multi-track recording
    this will allow you to record them both.

  • How to connect my MacBook to a monitor and TV at the same time? I have a thunderbolt, what else do I need?

    I have an ASUS monitor and a SONY TV set. I have 2 HDMI cables, one for the TV and one for the monitor. I also have a Thunderbolt for my Mac and I have HDMI Pigtail Switch with 3 ports. For some reason when I connect the Pigtail Switch to the Thunderbolt and the 2 HDMIs to the Pigtail nothing happens. Anyone knows the answer?

    Sounds like you're using a POP mail account.
    You should get an IMAP account. such as the free one you get with iClourd.

  • Using iPod both in Windows and Mac at the same Time?

    I was wondering if it was possible to use my brand new ipod both in Mac as in Windows without having to format or restore it every time?
    The idea is to use "manually manage songs" on both Operating Systems.
    Thanks for your help!

    iPods come formatted Windows and will work on Macs and Windows. Unless you Restore it in a Mac, it will stay formatted Windows.
    If it doesn't work, put the iPod on Disk Mode and iTunes should recognize in both systems.
    If it is formatted Mac, it will not be useable on Windows, even in Disk Mode.

  • Can I watch videos on my iPad and browse at the same time?

    I want to watch a Ted talk that I downloaded and browse the internet, but everytime I try to leave iTunes it automatically shuts off what I'm watching. Can this thing seriously not do more than one thing at once? It seems odd. Same thing happens, if I'm watching somethign on YouTube and try to browse the internet in a new window whatever is on YouTube always shuts off.

    Yes, that's the way it works. Multi-tasking doesn't extend to separate windows, there is no Desktop for them to be displayed on, no file handling system to keep track of them, etc., etc.
    TED has their own app, by the way .... no need to download via iTunes. Still just one thing at a time, so just sayin ....
