Thunderbolt to Usb C

Is there a thunderbolt to usbC cord yet ? My external is thunderbolt n I'm looking to buy this computer when it comes out. Thought I can't figure out how I'm going to transfer my data to the computer

Hi Mark,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
According to information at the bottom of the article you came from,
Using the USB-C port and adapters on your MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) - Apple Support
Your MacBook with USB-C port supports USB Target Disk Mode.
It then provides the steps and cables needed.
Regards,

Cable? Old Sony Camcorder to New iMac (Thunderbolt or USB)

I have a new iMac with only USB and Thunderbolt ports. I'd like to import old Digital 8mm taped recordings from my Sony DCR-TRV460 camera. I used to use my firewire 4-pin (camera) to firewire 800 (macbook pro) but as I said the iMac has only Thunderbolt and USB. I am not finding the proper cable in my searches. Firewire 4-pin to Thunderbolt - does it exist or am I missing something?
Thank you!

Will this adaptor do the job for you?

Is there a thunderbolt to usb 3 adapter available?

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/

Thunderbolt to USB cable?

I appreciate that Apple wants to push their Thunderbolt connection, but that doesn't do much good since there are few products out there that support Thunderbolt. It would have been great to have a 3rd USB 3.0 on the Retina and a single Thunderbolt port instead of 2-Thunderbolt ports and 2-USB ports. Is there such thing as a Thunderbolt to USB cable? I do alot of audio/photo editing and use external hardware that runs on USB.

Shootist is right. In other words, what happens is that the max transmission data rate of any one USB controller is shared among all connected devices. 'Devices' being numerous, Bluetooth, iSight/Facetime camera, card reader, internal and external keyboards, trackpad, audio, and peripheral 3rd-party gear as per your liking such as storage devices, etc.
Check your Mac's System Report, the USB controllers are listed there, including what's connected to them. You'll see that the "internal" devices are spread out over the controllers via "internal" hubs. You'll see what the max speed is of both controllers and individual devices - left in marketing terms with "up to".
Aside from other potential bottlenecks, you want to connect external devices which are supposed to run as close to their max speed as possible to a controller that has no other demanding devices aleady connected (e.g. keyboard, or the unused camera).
Admittedly, guessing how Apple would treat additional USB ports, if they existed - giving them their own controller, or connecting them via an existing internal hub - is pure speculation; though it's clear that controllers cost money, and we know that e.g. PCs with four ports typically use hubs for at least two of them...
Fact is you have only two USB ports with individual controllers now, and you could indeed benefit from utilizing a TB port for USB as well since it'd also use its own controller (again, other bottlenecks elsewhere aside). Then, though, the question is, why convert TB to USB instead of using TB gear e.g. for storage? For now this may make the bottleneck in the wallet all too obvious, but if I were you, I'd rather get a cheap USB hub now and save my bucks for the TB drive until its price tag fits me... they're cheaper by the hour...

What is faster thunderbolt or usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet

What is faster a thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter or a usb 3.0 gigabit ethernet adapter?
Thanks

Both Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 have bandwidths that exceed gigabit ethernet so based on theoretical numbers they should perform the same. However, different product manufacturers will write different drivers and use different hardware so unless you test specific products the question can't really be answered. Probably have to wait until magazines such as MacWorld or other Mac related websites test and compare devices.

Mac Mini Server Link aggregation - Thunderbolt or USB 3 gigabit ethernet adaptors

I am setting up a late 2012 Mac Mini as a file server with Server 2.2. It has a Promise Pegasus R4 RAID and LaCie 4TB drives daisy chained via the Thunderbolt connection. 4 users on MacPro's will connect to the server to access these hard drives via gigabit ethernet.
I imagine the gigabit ethernet will be the bottleneck, so I'm now looking at link aggregation. Not a problem on the MacPro's but the Mac Mini will require an adaptor to get a second gigabit port. From reading this forum I understand the Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit adaptor will work, but I'm concerned that it will need to be fitted 3rd in line after the R4 and LaCie drives. The 10Gbps bandwidth Thunderbolt has, may cause another bottleneck with all three working off the same port?
An option would be to use one of the USB 3 ports with this adaptor http://www.ebuyer.com/412005-startec...edium=products
I believe it work with OSX, but I have no speed information or if OSX link aggregation will work using it.
Any thoughts on the above would be appreciated and recommendations on a suitable Network Switch with LACP support welcome.

At present Mountain Lion Server cannot use a LACP bond, in my experience only of course. http://www.small-tree.com/kb_results.asp?ID=59 describes LACP/Bonds do not show up in Server Admin GUI on Mountain Lion
anyone know how to do it? or the location and the name of the plist file to configure the network interface in ML server?

Thunderbolt Display USB ports not working after 1.2 firmware update

I installed the Thunderbolt Display Firmware Update 1.2 a few days back, and following that update, the USB ports on my display have stopped working completely. The display's Thunderbolt port and Ethernet jacks are working fine, as is the Thunderbolt/power cable connection to my MacBook Air (mid-2011, 11 inch, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1). Any ideas on a fix?

Do an SMC and PRAM reset.

Thunderbolt or USB to HDMI. How do I do it?

I bought my MacBook Pro in spring, 2011. It does not have an HDMI port. It has USB, Thunderbolt, Firewire, and Ethernet. What can I purchase to convert to an HDMI so I can display video on my HDTV through my MacBook Pro? Is it possible?

Do you have internet access with every other app on your iPhone that requires internet access?

A reboot doesn't bring back the Thunderbolt USB. Just a complete shutdown and waiting for several minutes brings it back to life for a few minutes.

Do an SMC and PRAM reset.

Thunderbolt to usb?

will a thunderbolt display work with my macbook pro from late 2009? is there a cable i can get that will adapt to a usb port or something?

No. No. A Thunderbolt display requires a computer with a Thunderbolt port. There are no adapters that will help.

Thunderbolt to usb Mixing desk

Im running Reaper as my DAW (Recording soft wear) on my iMac, is there a USB to Thunderbolt lead Available to use from USB from my Allen & Heath Desk to my Thunderbolt input to make the transfer of data faster and higher quality? `

USB is USB even over Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt can not make USB any faster or better.

Has anyone used Thunderbolt or USB 3.0?

In the not too distant future I am intending to upgrade from my 2008 24" 2.8GHz iMac.
The new models appear to have gone down the Thunderbolt route which appears to be not very popular with HDs being few and far between and very expensive.
USB 3.0 whilst theoretically only half the speed seems to be taking off and reasonably cheap, and appears to be more universally adopted.
Could Apple have backed the wrong horse on this occasion?
Sorry, I was just thinking aloud, definitely not speculating.
So has anyone used Thunderbolt and got anything good or bad to say about it?

Not personally:
The german computer-magazine c't tested the Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt and found it speedwise way ahead of USB 3.0 and eSATA.
As a RAID-Level 0 with 6 x Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 (7.200 U/min, 1TB each) and MBP 13" 2011 OSX 10.6.8:
Write - 693 MByte/s
Read - 721 MByte/s
Read AND Write - 323 MByte/s

Two Thunderbolt Displaysand USB Audio Issue

I have a brand spanking new Macbook Pro 15" Retina (2.7 Ghz, 16GB RAM, discrete graphics chip). I also have two thunderbolt displays, one is about a year and a half old, the other is pretty new.
I also use an Apogee Duet 2 USB sound card.
If I plug the USB soundcard into my Thunderbolt USB, after a few minutes the audio is all distorted. I've so far resorted to using a USB port on the MBP itself, which fixes the issue.
Is there a "Best practices" guide for how to connect up these displays? I currently have them daisy chained, so I have just the two cables going into my Mac which I wanted. Is there a better way to hook this up for reliability sake?

I have this exact same issue. I wish there was a fix but I have been looking for a while. Apple must know about it!

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)
