Is it possible to install Thunderbolt driver on my iMac

is it possible to install Thunderbolt driver on my iMac. For some reason I was provided with a Thunderbolt port which is not connected. I have a Promise Pegasus 6 which I would like to use with my iMac

Your mid-2010 Intel iMac does not have a Thunderbolt port.

Perhaps you are confusing Thunderbolt with something else? If you're talking about a different computer, I doubt you would have a "not connected" Thunderbolt port. There is no such thing as a Thunderbolt driver. There are drivers for devices (like your Promise Pegasus R6), but Thunderbolt isn't a device. It's a communication interface.

  • Is it possible to daisy chain a thunderbolt drive between 2 imacs?

    is it possible to daisy chain a thunderbolt drive between 2 imacs?

    You can connect two thunderbolt harddrives to one computer, but you cannot connect two computers to one harddrive.  That would result in a data signal conflict.
    Hope this helps

  • Possible to install msata drive in probook 4330s WWAN slot?

    Hi,
    Can someone verify if it is possible to install an msata SSD into the WWAN slot of a probook 4330s and use it as a OS boot drive?
    If it is possible, is there any information on how to install this and how to enable the boot option.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Your PC has a hard drive cage that will accomodate two drives.  This HP How-to document starting at Removing a Drive a hard drive will show you the process for removing the hard drive cage.
    If you still want to use the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter bracket. NewEgg.com would carry such a bracket.  You will also need a SATA data cable.  This HP How-to article will give you an idea on how to use the Expansion Bay for a 5.25" device.  Check up by the existing optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector.  If one is not available then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

  • Possible to install HD-DVD Burner in iMac G4?

    Hi, I was wondering if it is at all possible to install HD-DVD burner in a iMac G4? Anyone tried this?

    I know that Toast Titanium 8 for Mac supports Blu-Ray burning (Apple's loyalties are in the Blu-Ray not the HD DVD camp) but the G4 is not a processor I'd ever want to be encoding HD in. The G4 wouldn't even be up to playing discs. So I think you could do it with a Blu-Ray drive but you shouldn't do it. I hate having to wait whilst an SD DVD encodes HD is at least four times longer. Remember Apple hasn't put a HD spec burner in even it's 8-core Mac Pro yet!

  • Is it possible to install Tiger onto my old iMac G3 ?

    I would like to install Tiger onto my old iMac G3 and give it to my grandson. The iMac is presently running Mac OS 9.1 and has 320 mgs RAM and 6 GIG hard drive. The processor speed is 350 MHz. Is this possible ?
    Can I use the Tiger OS disks that came with my new G5 or do I have to buy another Mac OS Tiger specifically for iMacs ?
    I don't mind buying some more RAM if the above is possible - it is a lovely little machine and runs perfectly right now - I hate just dumping it! Grateful for any help, thanks, Diana.
    iMac G3   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    I don't know if Apple supports the G3 iMacs for Tiger. You may have to use Xpostfacto in order to install it on it. From what I've heard, performance on a 350MHz G3 with Tiger should be adequate. You might have to update your iMac's firmware before installing it, though.
    Upgrading the hard drive will help some. Plus, I would suggest you get the memory up to at least 512MB. I'm pretty sure your model iMac will take up to 1GB via 2 PC100 slots.

  • Is it possible to install Thunderbolt port on a Mac Pro (not the 2013 model) ?

  • Possible to install Tiger on a new iMac?

    I am looking to upgrade one of the designers in our studio to a new iMac, but I do not want them to have to run 10.5. There are still too many bugs with specific applications we use (especially in Photoshop). Does anyone know if it's possible to load 10.5 onto the new iMacs?
    I really don't want to be forced to move to a new OS before it's been fully tested and working in our environment.
    Regards,
    Kristin.

    You might ask around for build dates on iMacs. If it was built before Leopard ships, then you often get 10.4 on the machine and 10.5 updater in the box.
    I bought my machine about 25 days before Leopard shipped for the very reason you describe. I knew it would come with Tiger, but was hoping (with fingers crossed) that Leopard would come out in time so I could get it free. I did.
    But...as it turns out, I ended up going to Leopard after a few months anyway since I determined that all my mission critical apps would work in Leopard. Good luck!

  • Installing BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer for debugging purpose

    Hello, is it possible to install BootCamp Driver on a non mac computer in order to debug a software that is very slow on a Windows XP/BootCamp with MacBook Pro (I can't use the Mac computer for a long time, then I must test on my computer : a PC, not a Mac) : is it possible ? I tried to install Bootcamp 2.1 on a Windows XP SP2 on a PC, but the software quit after a while without any message.
    Thanks for help, Patrice.

    Hi Patrice and welcome to Discussions,
    I admit I never in 20+ years tried to do what you try to accomplish but I would assume that a Windows driver would only install if the appropriate hardware device is present.
    So, I don't think you can do this.

  • Thunderbolt drive not going to sleep when iMac does

    Not sure if my title makes sense...
    Ok, I have an Intel iMac running the latest version of the O/S
    Attached via firewall I have a Lacie external 2big drive
    Attached via thunderbolt I have a lacie 2big thunderbolt drive
    When the iMac goes to sleep by itself, i.e. I walk away and let the system decide when to sleep, only the firewall connected drive shuts down.
    The thunderbolt drive remains live with that nice big blue lamp on the front of the drive remaining lit.
    If I manually put the imac to sleep, then both drives shut down. I'd really like both drives to shutdown properly when the system decides I've gone to bed....or gone out or whatever.
    Any suggestions?

    I have exactly the same problem with three lacie_2big drives.  Thay do not go to sleep when my iMac is sleeping.  I never had this problem untell using OS X Mavericks.  Please help!

  • Can i install a software in two imac?

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased a software FCE4 and I want to install it into 2 imac.
    For the first imac installation is no problem but I found that it can not be install in second imac.
    Is it possible to install a software into 2 imac?
    Please advance the method.
    Many Thanks

    What username? It means you have to own and control both machines. They're for your use. You can't buy a computer, install the software, and give it to someone else. So I guess the user registration name should be the same, but this does not apply to two iMacs.

  • Can I use bootcamp and install Windows 7 on an external Thunderbolt drive

    Hello,
    I want to know if it is possible to install windows 7 on a thunderbolt external hard. I have a limited space on my harddrive and want to have windows 7 operate and store data on the thunderbolt drive.
    Anyone know if this works or if its possible.
    Thanks

    i use a thunderbolt ssd for my boot disc and it appears that bootcamp appears to start ok. in disk utility i can partition the drive successfully so i would be really interested if this would work. personally i cant see any problems.
    are you thinking about formating the drive and installing windows without bootcamp? that will definately not work!
    however with bootcamp you stand a very good chance of achieving your wish. please keep us posted if you decide to do this.
    i know of one way that can absolutely do it, but it means installing osx on your ext. first. i have vmware on my ext. running win 8.1 works seamlessly.
    i run bootcamp from my internal hdd with win 7.

  • Is it possible to install a HD-DVD drive on a Satellite P20

    Hi Everyone
    Is it possible to install a HD-DVD drive on my P20?
    My screen has died, so I'm going to use this machine as a dedicated Media Centre attached to my TV.
    If I can install a HD-DVD drive it would help a lot.
    Regards
    Richard

    Well, I dont believe that you will be able to use a new HD drive or blue ray drive on this notebook but who knows everything depends on the master / slave and c-sel settings.
    Its possible to change such settings on external desktop drives by switching the jumper but something like that is not possible on slim line internal drivesusually the firmware controls this settings on notebooks drives.
    It seems nobody tried upgrade the P20 with such drive that because this is a new technology and at this time you will not find many internal HD or Blue Ray drives on the market.
    However, please come back and report if you have more info about the upgrade.

  • Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp? How would I do this?

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp?
    How would I do this?

    If you have Lion installed, and run Boot Camp, it will create the boot flash for you, just followe the tutorial on screen. As far as I remember, this was not possible prior to Lion.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Retina MacBook with a shared CD drive?

    My school provides Windows 7 Ultimate upgrades to students
    My friend installed Windows 7 normally even though it's technically an upgrade (burned the .img file to a DVD using Disk Utility and installed it through the Boot Camp Assistant tool in Snow Leopard)
    I own a 2008 MacBook which has an optical drive
    I own 1, 2 GB thumb drive and 1, 4 GB thumb drive
    Is it possible to install Windows 7 through my Retina MacBook Pro through a shared CD connection with my 2008 MacBook?
    I tried using the Boot Camp Assitant tool.
    I burned the Windows 7 upgrade .img file to a DVD with Disk Utility just like my friend
    I copied that DVD as a .cdr file to my Retina MacBook using the shared CD connection and Disk Utility, and changed the file extension to .iso
    With the Boot Camp Assistant, I set-up my 4 GB thumb drive
    When I get to the "Create a Partition for Windows" screen and I press install, I get the message "The installer disc could not be found".
    The DVD is in my 2008 MacBook and I mounted it on the Retina MacBook. The 4 GB Windows set-up thumb drive is connected to the Retina MacBook.
    I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help is appreciated.
