Use thunderbolt dock to connect Hdmi to Thunderbolt Display

So I'm thinking about buying 2 thunderbolt displays to hook up with my pc I have Hdmi output and dvi I was thinking about buying the Belkin thunderbolt dock or the matrox ds1 or 2 to plug into and use displays is this doable ? Or you know something better ?

An A1260 MBP (15" early 2008, Model identifier 4.1) does not have a minidisplay port.  Until I can get definitive information as to what MBP you have I cannot help you.  Post the equivalent display from your MBP:
Ciao.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Back light only after using thunderbolt display

    Hello,
    I have a new 2012 Macbook pro 17 and a 27 inch thunderbolt display.
    The Macbook was working great. Then I connected it to the thunderbolt display and did clamshell mode. That worked well too. But.. then I powered down the macbook, disconnected the thunderbolt dislplay and tried to boot back up again. The mac book powers on, the back light comes on, I hear the chime then that is it. The back light stays on nothing else happens. Resetting the PRAM can not be done. Any of the boot options are ignored. It is like the keyboard is non resposive. I tried all the reset and boot  combinations available but nothing works.
    The light on the front of the macbook comes on then goes dim. The apple logo on the lid stays lit, and if I close the lid, the apple logo goes dim and the light on the front lights up. Weird, it is almost like it goes to sleep when it turns on. I tried conntecting the thunderbolt again but no joy. I am really disappointed. This is less than a month old and its already going in for repair. It should be replaced.
    Me No Gusta!

    Well, I tried the other reset method too. I removed the battery which was extremely easy. I found a tri tip screw driver I used to open Nintendo Wii's this was a perfect fit for the 3 tri screws that were used to hold in the battery.
    Anyway, it still did not work. Wow, I gotta tell you, this apple ****, is complete junk. I just turned a Lenovo into a hackbook. It actually seems faster than the i7 macbook that is screwed up. Never again apple, never again.

    I don't see that would work... Plus, if it were possible, I would think a company would utilize that for marketing leverage to appeal to more users with only the older mDP cpu's.  In this case, that's not what is happening.  So I don't believe it will work like that.  Typically, a company wouldn't make specific statements (ex "attaching to any Thunderbolt enabled device"), if it was Not a requirement to work.
    Then... on the technical side of it...
    The TB cable / signal is a (new technology) Muxed signal of both PCIe and DP data.  Without the TB chipset / hardware on the host machine, it can Not communicate properly down the Thunderbolt cable and to any TB device.
    As you can see in the cable cut-away... it's NOT just a matter of adding individual DP lines along with some individual PCIe lines and wrap it up in a single cable.... where you can choose just to use only the DP lines.  Nope... this is highly improbable and suggests that using an OLD (non-TB) computer will NOT work at ALL, if connecting to a TB display or any TB device.

  • Macbook Pro Retina trouble with projector after using Thunderbolt display

    I used my macbook Pro Retina with my Thunderbolt to VGA adapter all through the fall, and never had any trouble with it. Just before Christmas I got a Thunderbolt display.
    Since that time, whenever I connect the projector, I get a black screen. I can see and move the mouse, but nothing else. Other computers still work with the projector.
    I'm not certain if the Thunderbolt Display has anything to do with this or not, but it's just the timing that it happened.
    Grateful for anyone that can offer help!

    It might be that the Thunderbolt output is set to the resolution of the Thunderbolt display, which the VGA adapter probably cannot display correctly.  You can toggle between the video display modes using Command-F1... This will toggle the output between Mirroring and Extended Desktop.  Using Command-F2 will allow you to attempt to detect displays.  It might auto reset to the correct resolution using Command-F2.  If you can get the VGA out to display using extending desktop then you can change the resolution to work properly with the VGA projector.

  • How to charge mid 2011 macbook air battery using Thunderbolt display

    While trying to organize all my computer miscellaneous (cords, adapters & so on), I came across an adapter on a little card with the comment, "For use with your Thunderbolt Display and Mac with MagSafe 2 port." Appears to be for charging my mid 2011 MacBook Air via the Thunderbolt Display -- what might be the advantages/disadvantages in doing so? I found the info. in the product manuals to be pretty skimpy about this.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    So, I guess the adapter came with the display just in case I had a compatible Mac. I should have noted that on the card. Now, about the rest of the stuff in my Apple mystery box...that's for another day.
    Thanks, seb101, for your quick reply!

  • Can I use Thunderbolt Display with 2007 Mac Pro?

    I dropped my 30" Cinema Display and it's totaled.
    I have a number of newer systems with Thunderbolt Displays.
    Can I get a video card? to put in my 2007 Mac Pro Quad Core that will allow me to use the Thunderbolt display? If not, what should I do short of finding a replacement 30" Cinema Display?
    Thank you!

  • No Audio for Remote User when using Thunderbolt Display

    I have the latest 13" macbook pro with a thunderbolt display. For the most part everything works fine, but I have encountered a problem when I try using facetime with this setup. The remote user cannot her my voice.
    I have gone to the sound setting in system preferences and I have  made sure that the sound inpur device is set to Display Audio, and it appears that the microphone is working (the bars are fiickering when I talk), still, I cannot be heard by the remote.
    I have tried to capture a movie with the display's camera and mic, and that works fine.
    Unplugging the display an using the laptop only  also works fine.
    I used the same setup with Skype, and the sound worked fine.
    The probem appears to be with FacetTime and the Thunderbolt Display
    Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    I am having the same issue with my 13" MB Pro Retina and my 27" ThunderBolt display.  So far I haven't been able to find a solution to the problem.

  • Thunderbolt display windows 8.1

    I have an Macbook pro Retina 15 (ultimo 2013) and I would like to use my iMac 27" (2011) as display. I have bought a thunderbolt cable to connect the Macbook to the iMac. In Mac OS maverick I can easily use the iMac as display by pressing cmd + F2, no problem. But when I use bootcamp with windows 8.1 nothing happens when I press cmd+ F2 on the iMac. As far as I can understand you should be able to use thunderbolt display in bootcamp. I have tried to disable fast boot in windows 8.1 as many suggest, but this doesn´t help anything. It is like the thunderbolt port is not working correct in windows 8.1. Does anyone have a solution to this or familiar with the problem?

    it's called tagetmode and it's only an osx option
    thunderbolt is just a multiplex of displayport and pci-express so any minidisplayport to dvi or hdmi will work with such monitors but using imacs as displays is called targetmode and it's a very different animal
