Connect multiple devices to one Thunderbolt port with docking station

Hello everybody,
for a video editing setup I would like to use all devices connected until now directly to my iMac just with a Thunderbolt docking station on only one Thunderbolt port. What I do not understand is, whether bitrate will stay the same for each device or will be splitted? Has this to do with daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices?
So this will be the setup:
1 Thunderbolt cable from iMac to Thunderbolt docking station
devices connected to docking station:
one Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt
one external USB 2.0 hard drive
one external USB 3.0 hard drive
external HDMI monitor
Ethernet connection
So the general question is, will all of these devices get only part of the bitrate that Thunderbolt provides or can each device, theoretically, get full Thunderbolt bitrate?
And are there different types of Thunderbolt cables (Thunderbolt 1 or 2) that I have to pay attention to?
Regards DonTimo

Also, if you use the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display, it will have an additional Thunderbolt and Firewire ports on its back.

  • Can I connect multiple devices to one thunderbolt port?

    I have the need to connect an external monitor and a firewire cable to my Macbook Air, but with only one Thunderbolt port I am trying to determine if this is possible.  Is there such an adapter that would take my single Thunderbolt port and 'split' it into two?

  • Connecting multiple devices to one speakerset

    Hello,
    I want to connect my xbox 360 and my laptop to one speakerset. This doesn't need to be a surround set but both the 360 and the laptop output via composite connections (I don't know if thats the right description of those connectors but they look like this: http://www.comprousa.com/New/en/faq/images/audio_cable_small.jpg
    Can this be done with any speakerset creative (or any other brand of speakers for that matter)?
    Thanks

    If this is the device that you have........http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/connected-home/modems-gateways/ xdsl-modems-gateways/tg799vac-xtream  ........then it is a gateway type of device that combines a modem and router in one package.
    The Time Capsule must connect to a device like this using the "Off (Bridge Mode)" setting to avoid errors on the network. Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the Technicolor gateway connects to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    If the Off (Bridge Mode) setting does not work, I would suggest that you reset the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then set it up again.
    Are you still using the OS X (10.4.9) operating system that you indicate in your profile?  If yes, you would need a much more up to date operating system to work with the Time Capsule.
    If resetting the Time Capsule and setting it up again does not work, then I would recommend that you contact Apple Support for more assistance. Click on the flag of your country on this link:

  • Multiple device in one household help with iCloud

    My son and I both have Iphones. We have separate Apple ID's for icloud. Is there any way that we both connect to my existing Itunes account with separate Apple ID's?

    You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores and have separate IDs for other services such as iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.  The ID used for purchasing does not need to be the same as the one used for these other services.  Just enter the same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.  (If you need to change it on one of the phones, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the other ID.)

  • PC hangs every time I connect a device to a USB port

    Hi,
    I have a Pavilion t640.it running Windows XP SP3. Windows drivers are updated (I downloaded them from the HP site) and I also tried to update the BIOS after I experienced the following problem, but with no success.
    I often need to connect smartphones to my PC and work on them, after installing their drivers. I had issues lately and I had to reinstall their drivers multiple times. Today, when I connected a smartphone to my PC via USB, Windows displayed a message saying that the voltage on the USB port was too high. It displayed the same message a couple of times and I could only hard reset the PC. After that, the PC freezes every time I connect any smartphone to my PC to any USB port. Windows makes no sound to show it detects the USB device, it just freezes. I tried uninstalling and installing device drivers but with no success.
    Is there a solution, should I reinstall Windows from scratch (I hope not) or is it a hardware problem (worse still)?
    Thanks!

    Small update: only the front USB  ports seem to have problems. I could connect my device to one back port and it worked.
    Then I removed USB ports from Device Manager and reinstalled them and displayed again the message about over current on 2 USB ports...

  • How to use thunderbolt port with disks and DVI-display

    Hello,
    today I use a 15" MacBookPro and have attached 1TB LaCie with FW800  (for time machine) and DVI-Display using Mini-port.
    Need to add more external disk space and look for Lacie 2 TB with thunderbolt connection (for storing mass of pictures in Raid1 version)
    Is it possible to connect the new disk, the other disk with an Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter and the DVI-Display to one thunderbolt port?
    What are the options I have, to get all three to work at the same time?

    No, or at least not without additional hardware. You have too many end-points for one Thunderbolt chain.
    You also have the problem that the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter is not yet for sale.
    If the new disk you get has two Thunderbolt ports (which not all do), you could daisy-chain the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter behind it, but that adapter has to be at the end of the chain. The Mini-port->DVI adapter likewise needs to be at the end of a chain.
    So, you can probably get all three connected at one time by connecting the "1TB LaCie with FW800  (for time machine)" to your FW800 port, while connecting the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter (when available) to the second port of the new disk. I say "probably" because nobody has the TB-FW adapter yet to try it.
    As for doing it on one Thunderbolt port with additional hardware, you might look into third-party docking stations being released in the next few months. The announced prices are in the low-to-middle hundreds. I won't mention brand names, as this is an Apple forum, but they aren't too hard to find by web search.
    The highest-priced solution would be the Apple Thunderbolt Display, which gives you a FW800 port for your 1TB drive, a pass-thru Thunderbolt port for your new disk, and of course a 2560x1440 display (plus ethernet and usb2 ports you may not need). It's available now, in the uppermost hundreds. There are some refurbs in the online Apple Store at the moment at 15% off.

  • Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

    can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
    If so how can I do this?

    Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
    When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.

  • Will one day "ipod with dock connector" be able to be charged by USB cable?

    Hi,
    this question has just popped into my mind
    a moment ago. it might be very useful if
    one day they'll grant us to be able to do that.
    but if this request seemed to be too far
    from hardware capability, i'd stop thinking
    about it.
    could anyone give me a clue? any support teams?
    Thanks,
    p/s hope i'd called my ipod right, it's the
    one with four buttons outside the wheel, and
    it is not a clickwheel one. "ipod with dock
    connector" right? :] thank you again

    Hi Kenekeu
    I just wanted to chime in and bump this thread. Although I've posted here several times about this exact problem, with no solution found yet, and no response from Apple. I tried rebooting into windows (via bootcamp) and reformatting my ipod from there. However when I downloaded the older version of the ipod updater, i was told that it was expired and a newer version was available (sigh). So I now have a windows formatted ipod that still won't connect via firewire.
    I am still able to mount and transfer songs via USB in mac OSX. Luckily I had one of those dual usb/firewire cables, which plugs into the plug charger via firewire, and into the computer via USB at the same time, so my ipod doesn't lose charge.
    Hopefully there'll be a fix soon, because this is really frustrating. I've had this ipod for a couple years, and was always proud that it lasted this long... and now this.

  • IPod will not work with docking stations

    My 5th gen iPod works fine except it will not work with docking stations. I can sync it with my computer and it plays fine, just won't work with docking stations and other accessories like the Belkin FM radio converter. I bought a iMode boom box and it does not work properly with my iPod.
    Any ideas??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Labview for laptop with dock station.

    I use labview on desk top computer and it works fine. But, after I use it on a laptop with dock station, it does not work. I use the exact setting and configuration and I have no idea why does not work? Any suggestion. Thanks.

    There isn't any kind of information you've provided for anyone to be able to help you.
    "It does not work" could mean millions of things.  How is it not working?
    What "exact setting and configuration" are you talking about?
    Does it work when the laptop is not on the docking station?

  • One Thunderbolt port for two HDMI devices?

    Hello
    I was wondering, is there some sort of adapter that I can put in the thunderbolt port for my mac mini and connect two hdmi devices (monitors)?
                                  HDMI 1
    Mac Mini - 1 TB <
                                  HDMI 2

    Use the HDMI port for one monitor and a mini displayport to HDMI adopter on the other. That adopter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
    You want to set them up as extended displays.

  • Connecting multiple devices to Lan ports on airport

    Hi, I have an Airport Base Station where I need multiple devices connected to through LAN cables. In short it is a) Apple TV and b) External TV providers box.
    When I plug in the Apple TV to the first LAN port it works great, and I then connect the external TV providers box to the second lan port, and now it won't connect to the internet.
    If I turn these around, then the apple TV won't connect, but the box will connect.
    The station is set-up in bridge mode, and when I switch it to DHCP/NAT, then I get an error "doubble NAT".
    What do I need to do to get both devices working at the same time when connected through the LAN ports?
