Is there a Thunderbolt Display with a hard drive in it

This would be a cool invention. I think apple would make a lot of money

Why?  Seems to me just getting an external thunderbolt hard drive and plugging it in would be cheaper and easier thant having just a display with one in it.
Has anyone ever made a display wiht a built in hard drive (USB or otherwise)?  Seems to me if there was a demand or desire for it, there would already have been such things long ago.
Far easier to make displays with just ports, then let people plug whatever they want into them as needed.

  • Using Thunderbolt Display with Alienware Laptop

    I want to also use my thunderbolt display with a m18x alienware laptop which has HDMI out and a mini display port.  Is there any way I can use this display with this laptop either directly or with an adapter?
    Thanks

    I don't think so, as far as I am aware the connection between the system and the Thunderbolt display has to be a thunderbolt connection.  There are reports that even pre-Thunderbolt Mac systems with a mini-display port don't work.

  • Use thunderbolt display with ps3

    Hi
    I've seen some threads with the same question, but there old and no complete answers.
    So I'm asking again.. Is there way to use thunderbolt display with playstation 3?

    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.

  • Thunderbolt Display with PC

    Hello all, I am currently looking to change all of my windows computers to macs. For my personal computer, I am looking at the Mac mini with a thunderbolt display. However, my work computer is a windows laptop. The laptop does have a minidisplay port. Would I be able to use the Thunderbolt Display for my laptop when I am not using my Mac mini?

  • Hi - How do I connect an HDTV as a second monitor to Thunderbolt display with macbook pro in clamshell mode?

    I have a Late 2011 Macbook Pro in clamshell mode connected to a Thunderbolt Display with the built in Thunderbolt cable. I want to then connect an HDTV via the Thunderbolt port at the back of the Thunderbolt display. I already had a  cable that I thought would work which turns out to be a MiniDisplay port to HDMI cable and therefore not compatible with Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort not being the same technology although it uses the same port - although I'm not an expert !!) So far a web search has provided me with the only solution being using a Thunderbolt dock or storage that has multiple Thunderbolt ports and then  using that to daisychain inbetween the Thunderbolt Diplay and the HDTV. The cheapest solution I can find for this would be about £250. Surely not ??!!!!
    Many thanks for any comments - Nik

    You could also use aThunderbolt dock with HDMI, such as:

    Buy another hard drive.  They're cheap these days.
    In fact, buy a couple of 'em.  I recommend a minimum of five internal hard drives.
    C: Windows and Programs
    D: Project, graphic and audio files
    E: Cache and Scratch
    F: Media

    Your problem shows the importance of making backups.

  • Can I connect MacMini 2009 to Thunderbolt Display with Adapter Cable

    Can I connect MacMini 2009 to Thunderbolt Display with Adapter Cable (Mini Display to Thunderbolt Adapter)

    Sorry but no you can't.
    Only Macs with ThunderBolt ports can be used with the ThunderBolt Display and the 2009 Mac Mini doesn't have a ThunderBolt port.

  • I was given an iBook G4 with the hard drive erased. Is there a free reformat/reboot download available?

    I was given an iBook g4 with the hard drive erased. A local Mac tech stated the unit could be reformatted online.  I've not been able to find anything to help. Is there a downloadable program?

    You should be able to gain a clue if the sticker with the serial number on it remains intact.
    Check out the Apple Knowledge Base article on How to find the Serial Number for that information.
    Is there any other path to pursue other than paying bucks to have a local Mac Tech restore it?
    Yes, but you will need the Install and Restore discs.
    Can another Mac cink with it to retrieve this data?
    There is no data to "retrieve," since the hard drive has been erased. What you need is an installation and restoration of the operating system and original applications. This is accomplished with either a compatible full retail install disc (or discs) or the original Install and Restore discs. We are right back to needing to know which exact model it is in order to advise you further.

    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.

  • TS1600 I received a 2008 Imac with erased hard drive.  I have the two discs to install OS X but when it tries to boot just  comes up Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. Is there anything I can do to get this running

    I rceived a 2008 Imac with erased hard drive.  They gave me the two install discs but it keeps coming up cannot install OS X on this computer.
    Is there anything to do. Thanks hopefully

    Well, Apple would probably point out that what you are trying to do violates the EULA.
    Technically speaking, however, the issue is that the install/restore DVDs that ship with Macs do not carry all the drivers, or even all of the various versions of libraries that support all of the various models of Macs. The come-with-your-Mac disks are different than the retail versions of the OS (also, the come-with-your-Mac ones bundle iLife, which the retail ones don't).
    Because the come-with-your-Mac disk contains only the drivers specific to that generation and model line of Mac, it contains a stub of code that verifies that your hardware matches the driver set on the install/restore DVD.
    Your friend has a different model of Mac, with different hardware, so her install/restore disk won't work in yours. Solution: go get the retail boxed version of Leopard.

  • When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?

    When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?  I already reset my phone and a week later they came back. 

    I download my pictures by:
    !) Connecting my iphone to he computer.
    2) It will open a window or I will go to my computer and select iphone device.
    3) Open up Iphone folders and download.
    When I do that, I see a windows icon, with what looks to be a hard drive.  And when I click on it, it leads me back to my desktop.  Right now, I only have one.  I know by tomorrow I will have more.  It just keeps spreading.
