Sorry if this sounds like a silly question. Will this connect my Mac to my Thunderbolt display? (I have thunderbolt port on Mac).

As long as your screen is a typical TB connector. But that's NOT usually the case. Check your monitors manual for connection type it's probably different. They sell those as different type of connectors.

From the Apple site:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#1212. Will Apple's Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable, Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter, or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter work when plugged into the Apple Mini DisplayPort on my Mac?No, the Apple Thunderbolt cable, FireWire Adapter, and Gigabit Ethernet Adapter require a Thunderbolt port to function. They may still fit in a Mini-DisplayPort connector but will not be recognized or otherwise function.

Yes, this cord will do that for you. Check here for the FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#20

From what you are saying, yes. Thunderbolt cable will connect from the Thunderbolt port of your mac to the Thunderbolt port of your display.

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.

Hi Thank you for your interest. Yes we can't guarantee the compatibility with Mac Mini. Because some buyer's But if you want to connect the monitor with Mac Mini, you have to purchase DPmulti model. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ISQ9B3A http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L7KCM3U But you need MiniDisplayport to Displayport cable. Thank you.

yes, the mini displayport is Thunderbolt compatible. You only get the video out portion, but it is how I use my large Dell monitor to my Mac.

It oesn't have thunderbolt. You can connect a Mac using thunderbolt but you need to buy an adapter to do it.

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

I have a mid-2012 11" MacBook Air (Thunderbolt port) connected to a mid-2010 27" iMac (mini Display port). The is the only cable that does that. Having said this, I have found that the cable does not take much flexing, wear & tear before the tolerances of the connections start to get a little jumpy (sometimes connecting on plug in, sometimes not)/ This may be an issue of the computer too, hard to say.

This not for just Apple products. This connection is mini display port to HDMI. (not thunderbolt)

They do not appear to be the same thing although they have the same plug. Here's is what Apple has to say: 16. Can I connect a Mini DisplayPort display to my Apple Thunderbolt Display for computers that support using more than one display?Mini DisplayPort displays will not function if connected to the Thunderbolt port of an Apple Thunderbolt Display. Displays connected via Mini DisplayPort video adapter or cable to the Thunderbolt port of an Apple Thunderbolt Display will not work. This is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219#1

Push Command & F2(pending on year of iMac),pending year,you may also need to hit your Function (fn) button as well. Also try going into "system Preferences" go to "Display" & use the "Target Display" options. Most (if not a large percent) of Mini Display will work with the thunderbolt.They're also "Thunderbolt to HDMI adapters you can use.I use one when need be to hook up my iMac or MacBook Pro to a TV. They are inexpensive $7.00-$10.00.The Mini display or regular Display cables will get you better graphics FYI, than an HDMI or VGA.

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.

We connect a MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port (same as on the MacBook Air) to an old tv via RCA cables using ViewHD's Mini DisplayPort to TV video Converter. We had to change the display settings in System Prefs on the Mac but it works great and we're happy with the results.

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). http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB571Z-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B001IF252C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406122665&sr=8-1&keywords=dual+link+dvi+adapter There is also a less expensive adapter version from Monoprice that should work but I have not tested on my Mac.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

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.

Yeah. Mini display and thunderbolt are the same size/thing. Works perfect with my MacBook Air.
