Will this allow dual external monitors on a Mid-2012 MacBook Air?

There is monitor port that I have used with external monitor on my MacBook Air.

Yes, but one needs to be connected via hdmi and second via usb or one of them needs to be a true thunderbolt monitor. Putting an adapter on thunderbolt output will not work.

My one external monitor would not operate on OS X or Bootcamp Windows 7 using HDMI connection. StarTech support couldn't help, so I returned it.

I have a Dell monitor connected to the docking station's Mini DisplayPort via port via a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I don't know that you can connect two monitors, but you can certainly use your MacBook's screen in conjunction with an external monitor. I hope this helps.

I don't think so. I initially installed the driver on my Macbook Air using the external optical drive, but then I later installed the more up to date driver from the website. For me, it worked much better with the newer driver (which I think was in beta at the time). So just go straight for that. Check the website for the driver: http://www.kensington.com/us/us/4491/K33974AM/usb-3-0-multi-display-adapter#.U69nKo1dUto

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

Yes - you will just need a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable. If it is a recent MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port is the same size as a Mini-Displayport connector and is backwards compatible. When connected via DisplayPort, if you set your sound output on the MacBook Air to the monitor and set the Monitor sound input to DisplayPort then the DisplayPort cable will carry both the video and audio over the single cable. You would then just need to connect a USB cable from the MacBook Air to the monitor if you want to use the USB Hub. Note, however, that since this monitor is not a Thunderbolt monitor, you will not have Thunderbolt capabilities (such as daisy-chaining thunderbolt devices) - don't think you were looking to do that anyway, but something to be aware of if you were looking for that functionality.

You need one of these to use a macbook with this monitorApple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter MB572Z/B

it uses a dvi and vga cables, so as long as your macbook/desktop have the proper jacks, I don't see any reason as to why you couldn't.

No. This adapter only adapts HDMI video signals to VGA. The Macbook Air does not have an HDMI output. It has either a mini-DVI (for only the 2007 first generation Macbook Air models) or a display port connection (more common). If you have a Macbook Air with the display port or "Thunderbolt" connector, you should purchase a display port to VGA adapter if you want to use the VGA input on your Dell monitor. The VGA input has three rows of pins and two screw posts on either side. The VGA cable likely has blue connectors on each end.

I do have it hooked up that way, and I've done it in two different ways. Initially, I did have it hooked up to my laptop, and could use both this screen and the small laptop screen as dual monitors. Last year, I purchased a new Apple iMac, and am able to use the iMac's screen with this screen in a dual monitor set up. You just plug the Thunderbolt connector on the Cinema display to the Thunderbolt port on the iMac, and it works great.

YES! I run my mac book pro with Mini DisplayPort out (mini DisplayPort works in the Thunderbolt jack) to the dual link converter from Apple. It works great and I get full resolution. You will need this adapter and a dual link DVI cable (I think the Crossover monitor comes with the DVI cable).

The answer to the first part of your question is "I Don't know" My MAC was purchased in late 2011. Since it is a hardware port and not a software port it should work.The answer to the second part of your question is YES. YOu need to set the dual monitor function on the MAC also.

What you are describing is Target Display Mode, where one Mac can be used as a display for another. That is not possible with this adapter, as it required a thunderbolt or mini-display port cable on both ends to transmit the data. If the non-Apple notebook is fully display port compliant, then it may be possible to use the iMac as a monitor. More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3924

Yes, I have ever since the software update, and it works fine running a dual monitor from my MacBook Pro off of the DVI.

I'm using this with a recently purchased late 2012 Mac mini so I didn't need to buy a new monitor. It let me continue using my Dell monitor.

Unless you have a thunderbolt splitter which to my knowledge doesn't exist, the answer is no. However, check out the latest Belkin mac doc which does as it has two thunderbolt ports.

the companion hybrid can be used as a second monitor with a mac. the windows companion can not.

yes you should be able to. I have 2 hooked up to a mac air book. use the thunderbolt connection for one and get a usb to hdmi converter (radio shack has it for about $40). Hope this was helpful..:)
