Is there a thunderbolt to usb 3 adapter available?

This is one nice thing that Apple could do for us 2011 MacBook Pro/Air, Mac Mini, and iMac customers with thunderbolt enabled USB 2.0 machines.
Thunderbolt drives/devices are still prohibitively expensive, and USB 2.0 is PAINFULLY slow. I was disappointed that the thunderbolt display didn't support USB 3.0, and an adapter like this would allow owners of the Thunderbolt Display to keep the adapter plugged into the thunderbolt out port on the display, and have a USB 3.0 hub on the desk.

Thunderbolt to USB adapter

When is Apple going to come out with a Thunderbolt to USB adapter?

I have been waiting and in the meantime all around me windows pcs are running USB 3.0 devices that are very very fast. I have been a apple/mac user forever and usually apple is bleeding edge tech but it seems the pc world is now caught up and even passing apple by. Thunderbolt seems like a nice product but having to buy a $200-$300 hub adaptor to run anything is pretty lame
Newer Macbook Pros have USB 3 ports. I don't understand your reference to the PC world and USB 3. I've been using USB 3 devices on my Macbook Pro since last year. Read the specifications http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/

Is there a thunderbolt to firewire adapter?

Hi,
First of all, I know there is an apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapter but i'm looking for the opposite adapter.
I have a 2010 imac and I'm about to buy a MBP but the problem I see is that my imac has firewire 800 and usb 2.0 ports, whereas the new MBP have thunderbolt and usb 3.0 ports. I need a new external hard drive to work with for editing with Final Cut, but most of them have thunderbolt or usb 3.0.
- If I buy a hard drive with hunderbolt or usb 3.0 I can use it with the new MBP but not with my iMac, well yes but with usb 2.0 that is horrible to work with.
- If I buy a hard drive with firewire, which are being excluded of the market (I've made a research and for example at Western Digital website they don't offer any HD with firewire at all) I should buy the new adapter firewire to thunderbolt from apple to use it with a MBP.
The question is simple, as I see external hard drives with FireWire are being removed, and my 2010 iMac still works perfectly... do you know if there's going to be an adapter thunderbolt to FireWire that could connect a thunderbolt-external hard drive to my iMac's FireWire port??
Thanks!!

Have a look at theses drives, I understand you buy the drive with USB 3 and can then purchase a Thunderbolt adapter and a FireWire adapter. I think the drive plugs into the base unit in the photo which is the adapter. You could have the Firewire plugged into the old Mac and the Thunderbolt in the new one. Just swop the drive between computers.
I don't know what speeds the drive spins at, if it is 5400 it may be too slow for you, but that is something you can decide.

Is out there a firewire to usb adapter?

Hello,
I am looking for a firewire to usb adapter, so I have a third usb port on my macbook pro late 2011. Does it excist?

Keep your eyes open for the Thunderbolt hubs and adapters that are starting to come out Some of them have multiple jacks with USB 2, USB 3, Firewire, etc all sharing the Thunderbolt port. Some even have internal disk drives and one has a Blu-ray DVD drive. Some are kind of pricey, but gives you lots of options for connectivity.

Apple ethernet thunderbolt vs usb adapter

Which one is faster??
which one should i get??

Thunderbolt is much faster than USB.
That depends on which version of TB and which version of USB. if it's USB 2 then TB is much faster (20 times), if it's USB3 then TB is twice as fast, and if it's 3.1 it is the same speed.
USB2 480Mb/s
USB3 5Gb/s
USB 3.1 10Gb/s
Thunderbolt 10Gb/s
TB2 (releases this fall) 20Gb/s
Except USB2 all are much faster than ethernet so the choice of method will make no difference to network speeds (excepting USB2)

Where can i buy an thunderbolt to video adapter for my macbook pro i7?, where can i buy an thunderbolt to video adapter for my macbook pro i7?

I recently upgraded my macbook pro 1,1 to a macbook pro i7 i had a dvi-i to video adapter to connect it to the tv.
the new macbook i7 uses thunderbolt to connect, i bought a dvi-d to thunderbolt connection to bridge with the old adapter but this now doesnt work.
is there a thunderbolt to video adapter? or can anyone suggest a proper way to connect the two?

The only Thunderbolt display I'm aware of is Apple's. However, the Thunderbolt port on your MBP is also a mini-displayport and that is the normal way of connecting an external display to your MBP. You therefore need a mini-displayport to whatever you need on the TV end, e.g. HDMI. Apple have a good selection of cables on their online store.

Lightning usb adapter and connecting devices

I purchased a lightning usb adapter and when i connect my wi drive to it, a message comes up sayin "device requires too much power" how do i fix this?

There is no "lightning USB adapter", per se. If you are referring to the Camera Connection Kit, the iPad does not support direct connection to external storage except for flash drives containing photos, and then only if the drive is set up in a very specific way. Please tell us what specific adapter you have and what this "drive" is that you are trying to connect.
BTW, you posted in a forum intended for 1990's era hardware. I've asked the Hosts to move the thread to the iPad forum.
Regards.

Usb adapter for ipad

Hello, I want to be able to transfer files from my USB 2 Thumbdrive to a friends iPad. Is this possible?
Is there a iPad to usb adapter? I am not clear on this. I looked it up and I see that there is a lightning to 30 pin adapter. Don't know what to do with that.
anyone.?
thanks

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina) and a Sony HandyCam DCR-HC48 video Camera. The Sony only exports video via Firewire, which is not available on the Mac. Is there a firewire to USB or to HDMI adapter?

tyler57,
it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price
