Will this work with the mini displayport of an older Apple computer (pre-thunderbolt)?

No, definitely. In fact there's a chance it wouldn't work at all even if you did have a thunderbolt display because it's cheaply made. Its a totally different connection anyways.

Nope, this will work with any Mac Computer that has a Thunderbolt/Mini Display Port.

No, it only works with mini display port and thunderbolt. For that u would need a USB to HDMI cable.

Hi JamisonCheck your specs. I you have a Mini DisplayPort it should work. It is just an adapter. Good luck

Yes, the thunderbird port on the Retina Macbook pros accepts this Mini DisplayPort connector and it works.

Yes and no. For example I use mine to connect from my 15in MacBook Pro that has thunderbolt, to a 27in iMac that does not have thunderbolt only mini display. I use the iMac as an external display for the MacBook Pro.

Yes mate, as long as the Apple monitor has a DVI connector, plug the Mini display port into the Macbook, plug the DVI from the monitor and also plugin the USB from Apple monitor into macbook too

It should work, it's a generic adapter for mini displayport. Also, keep in mind that this is an extremely cheap adapter and you get what you pay for. Mine was very flimsy, but good enough for me to stick behind my computer and forget about.

Hi! I'm not sure. I bought it for my mom for Christmas, and she has a Macbook Air. I have a Toshiba laptop and I don't have the right sized port for the mini adapter thing. You might be able to just grab a regular sized hdmi cable? Good luck!

All I can say is that it did not work with my MacBook Air (a 2011 model). Instead I bought "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to VGA Male to Female Adapter in White" for $13.99, and it works fine.

Yes, it works great with my 2012 (Core i7 version) Mac Mini. You will need a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable/adapter to get maximum performance. This one works great for me: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

I think it should work no problems - I have this cable working on a 27 inch 2009 iMac with a mini display and a 13 inch 2012 MacBook Air with thunderbolt.

I think it does, I have a 13" Macbook pro with the thunderbolt and the 4th generation macbook air has it too: " The Thunderbolt port on the right-hand side can daisychain up to six Thunderbolt peripherals and also supports MiniDisplayPort devices (and, via an adapter, VGA, DVI and HDMI monitors too). " so you could give it a try. So far mine works super.

Hello from Ecomade Arena. No. Mini DisplayPort(Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter does not works. That is Mini DP to DVI-Single adapter, it only support 1920*1080 resolution rate. Mini DP to DVI-dual link adapter can support 2560*1440 resolution.

Short answer is YES... It will work if you have a mini to mini cable to replace the full-sized DisplayPort to miniDP cable included. This unit does have the ThunderBolt/MiniDP size connector.

If thunderbolt interface has this capability then it's fit. Otherwise i don't know :)

Depending on what kind of Mac you have, all you need is a VGA adapter to make this work. Amazon sells one here which should work for you as long as your computer's newer than 2009: AmazonBasics Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to VGA Adapter
