Play iMovie directly on Thunderbolt Display without Mac.

Hello all! I have a question for you!
Can I use the Thunderbolt display as a standalone monitor? For example:
If I were to put an iMovie on a fash drive or SD card, and plug it in to the ports on back of the Thunderbolt display, would I be able to play it?
Thanks!!

No.

  • What are the actual dimensions of the new Thunderbolt Display without the stand (e.g., when using a VESA mount)?

    I need to use the new Thunderbolt Display without the stand on a VESA mount, but before I order it I need to make sure it will fit height-wise in the allotted space.

    The ThunderBolt display specs page has the same sizes listed as the 27" LED Cinema Display specs page (web archive).  I just measured my Cinema Display for you and the height of the display itself without the stand is 15 5/8".  However, you will need some additional space at the bottom for air flow intake.  These displays get hot and need proper ventilation so do not block the vents on the bottom.  Also the bottom vents are where the speakers are.
    Hope this helps.

  • CPU is very hot when using Thunderbolt display and mac attached USB hard drive for TimeMachine

    Hello,
    i've bought the new MacBook Pro 15" and a Thunderbolt display. Everything works fine for me due to the latest updates, but i experience an issue which i really don't understand. When i connect an usb hard drive for TimeMachine to my display it works like expected (CPU has a temperature of 64°C), but when i connect it to an usb port of the mac while using my display the CPU temperature goes crazy (spikes about 80°C) and it gets very noisy. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
    May this has something to do with the dual graphics adapter and how the system handles the data stream to thunderbold ports and usb devices? Which graphics card is used for the external display, the internal gpu or the adapter from ati? I've googled a lot but haven't found appropriet answers about these questions.

  • Linking Thunderbolt Display to Mac Mini AppleCare

    I've Recently Purchased a 2012 Mac Mini and A Thunderbolt Display. i also Bought AppleCare for the Mac Mini as well.
    When i go to register the AppleCare to the Product, it gives me the option to Link a Display to it, but when i try to input the Thunderbolt Display's Serial# and go to the next step, it says that it is invalid.
    What could Be the Problem? they were purchased on the same day...

    Give AppleCare a call - 1-800-275-2273.
    I didn't have any problems registering my products with the AppleCare that I purchased.

  • HT204154 My macbook with thunderbolt display without power supply stops working on battery mode, is that normal?

    I use a 27" Thunderbolt display on my macbook pro. If I disconnect the power supply from the mac, the monitor stops working.
    Is that normal or do I have to make some changes on the setup ?
    Thanks

    Greetings koningsvaren,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you connect your MacBook Pro to an external Thunderbolt display and everything works as it should while connected to power, but once power is removed from the MacBook Pro, the second display no longer functions. It sounds like you may be using this configuration with your MacBook Pro closed, otherwise known as closed-clamshell mode. In order to use a second display with your Mac portable in closed-clamshell mode, the Mac portable must be connected to power. Please refer to the attached article for more information. If this is not the case, please let me know.

  • 27" Thunderbolt Display on Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro (late 2010) with two 27" Apple Cinema Displays,  I would like to replace one of them with a new 27" Thunderbolt Display just because of the HD iSight camera.  Is it possible to connect it to my current Mac Pro?  I don't care about the Thunderbolt at all.

    No.  Unfrotunately I was in the same boat with a late 2010 MacBook Air.  I went ahead and took the hit getting a 2011 MacBook Air and sold my previous one to a friend at a discount.
    With a 2011 MacBook Pro (w/ Thunder bolt) you woudl be able to place the Thunderbolt display first in the chain and then the second cinema display on the end.  The thunderbolt display will have all the expansion ports (firewire, usb, etc. available).
    Note -- you may have issues though using Bootcamp with thunderbolt as currently there is no way to use the iMac 27" thunderbolt as a target monitor even with the late model MacBooks which have thunderbolt.  I feel it's plausible they will address this with better thunderbold windows drivers however.
    If you are interested on getting rid of one of your Cinema Displays I may take you on it just because of the Bootcamp issue which works fine with that one.  Let me know.

  • How can I connect a PC with iTunes to an ipod and make iTunes play podcasts directly from the ipod without synching with iTunes on the PC ?

    I predominently use my ipod to listen to my favourite podcasts. I download podcasts onto my Home PC using iTunes and then synch the podcasts onto my ipod again using iTunes. This all works fine.
    Occassionally I want to connect my ipod to my Work PC via iTunes and listen to the podcasts by playing them through my Work PC external speakers. I DO NOT want iTunes to synch with my ipod, I just want to access the podcasts on the ipod and play them directly using the iTunes on my Work PC. I used to be able to do this, but have recently had a new replacement PC provided and now when I attach my ipod to the new PC iTunes wants to synchronize, and I can't see the podcasts which I know are on the ipod.
    I'm sure that this is an easy one for you experts out there. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Arnold

    Just to be clear - I have a new Work PC. My Home PC and ipod synching is all still working fine - it's just connecting the ipod to my new Work PC - and not being able to see and play the podcasts from the ipod - which is the problem that I am trying to overcome. Thx.

  • Can I use my thunderbolt display without charging my macbook pro?

    First off- Here's what I have-
    2012 13 inch Macbook Pro
    2.5 GHz Intel core i5
    8GB RAM
    Stock 500GB 5400rpm HDD
    Mountain Lion OSX
    Anyone know how I can use my thunderbolt without charging my Macbook Pro?
    Also, my Thunderbolt jack, port, and my overall computer get really hot when I'm using my display. Anyone else have this issue?
    Thanks!

    Ohhh I see it now.... The thing is I only have 13 cycles on my battery, but the max is only 92% percent charge... I thought that would be the charger charging my MBP and using the battery at the same time.... Another thing, would you happen to know why I have a max of 92% charge and only 13 cycles? (Two different apps are telling me the same thing...)

  • How do you use the Thunderbolt display without having to charge the MacBook Pro ?

    It seems my MacBook Pro retina has to be charging in order to use theThunderbolt display. When I close the Macbook lid and I remove the charger the display goes off. Is there anyway I do not have to be charging my laptop in order to use the display?

    No,  Clamshell mode needs external power.

  • Thunderbolt display has stopped working with my mac mini

    I purchased a brand new thunderbolt display and mac mini a couple of months ago, and now the thunderbolt display no longer comes on when I start the mac (I am only able to type this here because I pulled out my old monitor and plugged it in to the mac mini via hdmi port, which seems to work just fine).
    I have so far shut down and re start my mac a couple of times. I have unplugged everything and started them back up a couple of times, but nothing seems to work. How can I get this fixed? I have to admit that I feel like a shmuck for paying this much money for a monitor and then have it stop working.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system  also Yosemite
    Is the printer attached to the computer or is it a network printer?

  • Purchase Help: iMac 2011 vs Thunderbolt Display   Mac Mini 2011

    Hello,
    I purchased Thunderbolt display with Mac mini 2011. I experienced a lot of graphic issues with Mac mini when I connected to Thunderbolt display. I exchanged Mac mini 3 times but the same result. The Thunderbolt display is working fine with MacBook Pro 2011.
    I'm going to return both Thunderbolt display and Mac mini and interested to get iMac. Is there any differences between iMac and Thunderbolt display + Mac mini 2011? i.e., in technology, release update cycle, features etc? My main intention to buy Thunderbolt display is to use with both Mini and MacBook Pro.
    Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't know why you are surprised at the similar sizes of the 27-inch iMac, the 27-inch Cinema Display, and the 27-inch Thunderbolt display.  The 27-inch iMac came first, and the others are "monitor-only" products that seem to use the same LCD panel(s).
    As to a current 27-inch iMac vs. a current 27-inch Thunderbolt display,
    * The iMac serves as a standalone computer, and can also serve as a dumb monitor for an external computer that has a Thunderbolt port.  When operating as a dumb monitor, the iMac only serves as a monitor; it does not offer breakout connections to USB 2.0, Firewire 800, or Gigabit Ethernet.
    * The Thunderbolt display is a dumb monitor for an external computer that has a Thunderbolt port.  It also serves as a breakout box for USB 2.0, Firewire, 800, and Gigabit Ethernet connections (which is convenient if your main machine is a laptop; you can do all of your docking with one Thunderbolt cable + one power cable).

  • Dual 27" Thunderbolt Displays on 13" MacBook Pro Retina

    I'm thinking of buying two Thunderbolt Displays and make my 13" MacBook Pro Retina my main desktop computer. So the question is:Can the 13" MBP handle two chained Thunderbolt Displays without getting slower or will the Intel HD 4000 just melt down?
    I might wait until Apple announces the next generation of Thunderbolt Displays tho as I think this will happen soon (probably when the new Mac Pro is released?)...

    You could try changing the DPI. If you use startx, use this:
    startx -- -dpi 100
    Try experimenting with different DPI values.
