Hello - I have a mid 2014 iMac and would use this as a second monitor. My iMac has lightning connectors, not Thunderbolt - can this be used?

I believe you will need an adapter as this monitor is VGA. To use with my MacBook air i needed a thunderbolt to VGA adapter

Not too sure. All I know is the display needs a VGA adapter. Now whether you can find a VGA to lightening connector is beyond my knowledge

Yes, the 2014 MBP has a Mini DVI/Thunderbolt out, and you can use the port for the display (but may need it for something else...careful). You will require a Magsafe 2 to Magsafe adapter, and I recommend the OWC Macsafe 2 "Snuglet" also to prevent accidental disconnect.

I know it doesn't work with the late 2013 IMac as you have to order it specifically with a VESA mount. It does work with the Thunderbolt Display. I would do a quick google search to see when apple stopped allowing you to switch out the stand. If memory serves me correctly it was after the late 2012 mode

No. Thunderbolt supports Mini Display port (same connector). Display port is a larger connector, and is not supported on any Mac directly.

It wouldn't be possible unless your monitors have Thunderbolt I/O and support daisy-chaining. The Thunderbolt dock has two thunderbolt ports, yet, you use one of them to connect your Macbook to the dock and the other port as your Thunderbolt I/O for connecting to other devices.

I do not have this monitor connected to a Mac, but my desktop is connect to this monitor using the mini Display Port and it did not recognize my iPhone being plugged into one of the monitor's side USB ports until I ran a USB cable from my desktop to monitor's backplane.

I do not have one to test, but if you mean Apples display port to DVI-D adaptors, they should work, but you need to check on something first. Try to look up if your adapter is "single link" or "dual link" DVI...If it is single, you will run into problems with the resolution of this monitor, you need to have a DUAL LINK cable for higher resolutions. Given that Thunderbolt displays I have seen are at high resolutions, I would presume that it would be dual link DVI.

Some of the cables are Passive. You will not be able to use the monitor on a Mac with a Passive cable. Fortunately for me, the one I bought was Active and worked the first time.

I haven't worked withi this monitor on a new iMac 5k. I have worked with it on a 15" 2010 MacBook Pro, a 15" 2012 MacBook Pro, and a 2014 Mac Pro. No issues with macs whatsoever.

Hmm, I'm not very familiar with the technological aspects of iMacs, since I only use my mac to surf the internet, write my papers, etc. I originally bought a tera grand adapter because I wanted to watch movies on my television and not on my computer. I don't know what's going on with your fried HDMI ports. I don't have that problem. Perhaps, you could ask someone else? I honestly can't answer this question. Sorry!

You should be able to connect the display's DisplayPort (DP) input to one of the Thunderbolt outputs on your MBP. Thunderbolt is compatible with mini-DisplayPort (mDP). I believe the display comes with a mDP to DP cable.

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.

False. There is a known incompatibility with this monitor and the newer Mac OS on desktop. A driver or third party solution is what I'm inquiring about.

Well i use Thunderbolt to Display port with my MacBookPro late 2013 i have no problem with this product go for it! Plus you can E-mail CalDigit and ask them! i

Hopefully someone else with more knowledge of Macs and their Thunderbolt connection can answer. I'm not sure since I use this monitor with a Windows 7 Home Premium box with the supplied cable.

This monitor has BOTH VGA and DVI, and I am currently running it on a Mac Mini via DVI. If your iMac supports an additional DVI out I can't see why it wouldn't work.
