How to connect two thunderbolt devices to Macbook Air?

I have been using an Apple thunderbolt to VGA adapter to connect my digital projector to a Macbook Air. Now I need to also connect a pro audio firewire mixer, which has a firewire 400 cable. If I didn't have to connect the projector as well, I presume that the way to go would be to use an Apple thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter with an 800 to 400 adapter on the end, but as I have two devices I am rather stumped.
I know that thunderbolt/mini display is for daisy chaining, so there isn't such a thing as a thunderbolt hub, except that I could maybe use the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock (expensive as it is, it may be a cheaper option than others). I have read mixed reviews of this device, but it looks like it could essentially work - one thunderbolt cable to connect the Macbook to the dock, then use the Firewire 800 port on the dock with an 800-400 adapter for the mixer and the second thunderbolt port on the dock for the projector with the VGA adapter. I am wondering if there are any other possible solutions though, other than buying a Macbook Pro!
Thanks,
Nick

Sounds like a good suggestion but it is from 2009 and out of stock at Amazon.
This URL lists a newer one and says it is Mac compatible. I also do not have any experience with this product.

General advice: Keep all the packaging material in case you need to to return it in the 30 day Amazon return period (assuming it qualifies for a return). Purchase it on a credit card with consumer protection that entitles you to a refund if the seller will not accept the return.

Connecting Apple TV device and Macbook Air (early version) without using a TV

Hei,
I am trying to set up my home cinema using a projector and not a TV. I have a Macbook Air early 2011 version (the one where you can only stream directly from Itunes and use a third party device to play the rest) that I am trying to connect this device to the apple tv device - but as said without using a tv. I have speakers with a console where you can run an optical digital cable from the console to the Apple TV (as this will then give me sorround sound as opposed to the airport express that has not got this option). However my computer and projector is on the other side of the room so I want to be able to wirelessly connect to my speakers via my computer.
All set up guides with the apple tv involves connecting the apple tv device and a TV with an HDMI cable. As I am not using a TV and I am not connecting the apple tv device and my projector only aiming to stream sound to the speakers to the Apple TV device I am at a loss in terms of what I need to do. Can anybody help?
Thank you!

Airplay requires both devices to be connected to the same network (wired or wireless).

How to connect my HP 3070A to Macbook Air wirelessly

I've got a new MacBook Air and want to connect to my HP Deskjet 3070A either wirelessly or with a cable. I've got the printer installation disc but of course no outlet on the Mac. Can anyone help? I'm not very techie I'm afraid so it'll need to be simple!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Owady,
Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to help get the Deskjet 3070a installed on your MacBook Air. Since the MacBook Air does not have a C.D drive, you will need to install the software via a download.
Depending on your Operating System installed on the Mac you will need to choose one of the following links below.
HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
HP Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X v10.7
HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6
If using Mac OS X v 10.9, let me know and I will get the Apple software link.
Cheers,
JERENDS

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro? This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

Can I connect two firewire devices?

Ideally, I need two firewire devices running at the same time: One camera to capture footage and one firewire external hard disk for the media files (about 160 GB).
a) I've been told that I need a firewire external disc, because a USB hard disk would slow down the editing in Final Cut. Is this true?
b) If so, can I connect two firewire devices to my MBP (74.53 GB internal hard disk), which has only one 400 Firewire port?

1. Yes, FireWire is faster than USB. However, it would be better to edit on your main hard drive. Use the external drive just for storage and backup.
2. You can chain up to 255 FireWire devices provided the total power requirements did not exceed the port's capabilities. A single FireWire drive and a camera shouldn't be a problem. However, you should know that some FireWire cameras may not play well with other FireWire devices. If you find apparent problems when both are connected to the port, then you may need to use each separately. In this case you may need to put the hard drive on a USB port while the camera is connected to the FireWire port unless the camera also supports transfers on USB 2.0.

Is there an adaptor or interface that will allow me to connect a thunderbolt device to my late 2011 Mac Pro Firewire 800 port?

Is there an adaptor or interface that will allow me to connect a thunderbolt device to my late 2011 Mac Pro Firewire 800 port?

lllaass is correct.
To use ThunderBolt devices, a computer must have left the factory with a ThunderBolt port.
There are no known work-arounds, and there are not likely to be any because Intel controls the chips and is not interested in anything less than the full [including Video features] implementation.

You can't. The MBA 2010 only has a MiniDisplay Port, which is not compatible with the Thunderbolt displays.

How to install thunderbolt with my macbook air 13" v.10.6.8

Hello, I just bought the beautiful thunderbolt display but I can't get it working. Does anybody know what I might be doing wrong? I have a MacBook Air 13" 10.6.8
Thank you very much.

How old is your MacBook Air? The first with Thunderbolt was the MacBook Air (Mid 2011). If you have an older model with Mini DisplayPort you can use the Mini DisplayPort version of the display:

I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?

Can someone please tell me why I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?
Is this just the most ridiculous oversight or is there some underlying reason why this doesn't connect and function properly? How amazing would it be if I could just click on a contact number and dial from my phone like I could in 2008 via my Lenovo and my Blackberry. This blows my mind that two devices that scream compatibility are far from it. From my bluetooth options it see my device, then sends a code, I confirm and then it briefly connects only to disconnect almost immediately. #fail #appleoversight #failfailfail
Fix it or I'm going back to PC ****

Really hashtags in a support forum, what do you think this is a social media forum?
