Thunderbolt Female Adapter

Does Apple or anyone else make a Thunderbolt Female adapter to USB female adaptor.

Exactly what are you attempting to do with this adapter?
More details might be helpful if you can explain what devices and ports you wish to connect together.

  • Windows 7 64bit on bootcamp doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter

    in my new macbook pro retina I've a problem on window 7 64bit (bootcamp 4.0). the OS doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter..

    The thunderbolt ethernet adapter works without issue on my rMBP with Windows 7. Did you download and install the Windows Support software? Did you refer to the Windows help regarding networking? Did you try a different adapter? What happens when you try to use Ethernet networking?

  • Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter not good for networking?!

    Hi folks,
    I have been successfully running a mini Firewire network between my old iMac and my MacPro for several years just using a FW 800 to FW 400 cable.
    NOW I bought the new iMac with Thunderbolt and the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Unfortunalely it was impossible for me to set up the network again. Is it right that the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter will not work the same as the "pure" Firewire connection before, because of the different hardware or internal protocols? Do I really have to switch over to a standard ethernet connection with additional hardware like router hub or switch and forget my cool and so easy Firewire network?
    I read about that problem here:
    macworld.com/article/2016066/migration-assistant-thunderbolt-firewire-adapter-hu h.html
    That would be a shame....

    Be certain you have inserted the cable plug into the computer jack so that essentially ALL of the metal end has disappeared inside the computer jack.

  • How to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

    how to get screen content onto external VGA screen? Do have thunderbolt-VGA adapter but only get screensaver across

    VGA and DVI do not carry sound.  Only HDMI.
    Use a minidisplay-to-HDMI adapter.  Then when the TV is connected to the system use "System Prefences > Sound > Output" to select the TV for sound.
    Or connect speakers to the output port of the MBP.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased the computer before 2010, your computer hasn't got Thunderbolt, so you can't use it

  • Thunderbolt  ethernet adapter

    Hi,
    Using the wired thunderbolt ethernet adapter my network works for about a minute after the adapter is plugged in then stops working with the cable showing as unplugged in network settings.  The only way to reconnect is to pull the adapter and re-insert it.
    As far as I can tell all software and firmware is up to date.
    Is this likely to be a faulty adapter or am I missing some other settings?
    thanks,
    Andy

    I haven't tried this yet but someone else posted a solution here--> http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MD463ZM/A?pqid=QX9TA99XFCKHD2 74UUDXXXFHKKDTXH22K9UT99TATKCDUTTY7

  • Thunderbolt ethernet adapter causing buzz within MBP.

    I've noticed something very weird lately with my retina MBP. Whenever I'm loading largish (> 1mb images) files in the browser, my laptop emits a noise that sounds like there's a tiny little buzzer somewhere inside the laptop. It lasts as long as the file is loading onto the page or downloading in the background. I've been able to reduce the problem down to only occurring when I'm plugged in using a thunderbolt ethernet adapter. On power, off power, connected to external display or not, the noise is present. I would really like to stay connected to ethernet, but I have no idea where to begin fixing this very weird problem.

    I bought a new adapter but this one doesn't work too! That's €29 well spent
    So anybody got any clue what to do? It shows up in the system info, but there is no thunderbolt ethernet interface available in network settings...

  • Does apples 30 pin male to female adapter work with iphone 4s to skydock

    does apples 30 pin male to female adapter, work with iphone 4s to skydock (xm radio car cradle/charger)?

    Howdy nanster23,
    If you have as yet been unable to use this 30pin to lightning bolt adapter, I would like to recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that squared away:
    If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
    These sections in particular since you have already done a couple of them:
    Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
    Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
    Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
    Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Is there a driver for the thunderbolt ethernet adapter on a 2010 Macbook Air?

    The thunderbolt ethernet adapter is not being recognized on my 2010 Macbook Air running 10.6.8. Is there a driver for it?

    That's because there's no thunderbolt port on the 2010 MBair.  You need to buy the USB ethernet adapter.

  • Thunderbolt Network Adapter not working after yosemite upgrade

    After I upgraded to Yosemite, my MBP Retina 13" doesn't see the link on thunderbolt network adapter. The wireless is totally unreliable and freeze every few min for 1-2 min which is long enough to disconnect any sessions. Turn off and on of wireless works and recovers but it's royal pain. Any suggestions?
    I scheduled call with Apple 3 times today. They call me back at the scheduled time and immediately tell me that I missed their call even though I pickup on 1st ring. Been waiting in their support queue for more than 30 min now and no one is on line yet.

    the link provide above leads to  http://plugable.com/2014/10/31/os-x-10-10-yosemite-ethernet-adapter-problems-we- can-help
    ...but these seem to be all 3rd party USB ethernet adapters and nothing to do with the Thunderbolt adapter of the thread - or am I missing something?
    I have the same blooming problem, it seems to be totally hit and miss whether the adapter works or not. 
    I thought is was a faulty adapter, so even bought a second one for my MacBook Pro, so a bit more profit for the most profitable company in the world for a non working device.  My ethernet cable works fine to an old apple USB adapter but is 90% useless with Thunderbolt.
    Renewing the DHCP lease occasionally works, but totally unreliable, at the moment it fails.
    Still looking for a reliable solution.
    Come on Apple, please sort this out, you have a connector policy of turning everything you can into adapters and dongles rather than building them in, so you end up with a slim laptop and a bag of adapters to carry around, and then when they don't  even work - doubly annoying.

  • Thunderbolt/Ethernet Adapter AVB/IEEE1588 Support.

    Hi,
    I have just seen that the Ethernet port has been removed from the MacBook Pro (retina). The Ethernet port was interestting for AVB (audio-video-bridging) development. Now that it's gone, do you know if the Thunderbolt/Ethernet Adapter supports AVB and IEEE1588?
    Thanks!

    Yes, it will work.
    All Apple Macs with a Thunderbolt port are AVB capable.

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter problem

    I am a composer.I just bought a Macbook ProRetina (full upgraded) to link it as a slave to my main DAW (Logic) with Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 (http://www.vsl.co.at/en/211/497/1685/1990/1680.htm).
    The system with the new MacbookPro Retina doesn't work.
    I have contacted Vienna Instruments and it seem that the problem can be on Apple side: the Thunderbolt - Ethernet adapter.
    Any information or help to how to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi xavibcn,
    I am also a composer, and I'm trying to use Vienna Ensemble Pro over a network with a Thunderbold to Ethernet adapter. Have you been able to get it to work since you posted this? Would love to hear if you found a work-around.
    Thanks!

  • The thunderbolt ethernet adapter driver problem

    The thunderbolt ethernet adapter is not being recognized on my 2014 Macbook Air running 10.9.3. Is there a driver for it?  MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.9.2)

    That's because there's no thunderbolt port on the 2010 MBair.  You need to buy the USB ethernet adapter.

  • Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter backwards compatible?

    So I just bought a new 4TB G-Raid w/ Thunderbolt. Additionally, I bought a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, so I can connect my Firewire 800 equipped mac to the hard drive. IT DOESN'T WORK . I've read that they only work with a Thunderbolt equipped mac, to a female fw 800 cable. However, the deeper I've dug, I've heard that they are indeed backwards compatible (specifically with the G-tech drives), or that there can be software drivers that can make them backwards compatible. Anyone have any ideas??
    Speccs: 2010 mbp 17 inch. 2.53 ghz i5. 8gb RAM.

    Yes, I know that my mbp doesn't have a TB port, but I was hoping that the adapter would solve this problem, as it would change the connectivity to FW 800. I realize that is bottlenecking it, but I didn't have much choice because of the harddrive I had to buy. As for the eSata connections, I've never used that method. So I guess I wouldn't really know where to begin in considering that. However, the current drive I have now is:

    Thank you for your help! If all else fails, I'm just going to have to travel a bit further to buy a 4tb drive with FW, and return the one I just bought. Hopefully that's not the case....:/
