Now I have a 2009 MBP and a gorgeous LED cinema 27" display. It's the model before thunderbolt, so only mini-display, charger and usb connector on it.Â
I'm considering buying a new MBP or a MBA but am wondering... can I connect my LED cinema to this Thunderbolt port without burning up my screen? Will it detect that it should only do mini-display? I'm kind of afraid to try. The screen is perfect and I'd rather not change it. (only have it for 1 year now).Â
Can I use my 27" Cinema Display with a 2012 MBP with Thunderbolt? The 27" Cinema Display is less than a year old but with the DVI cable, USB, and charger.
I have an adapter for this, but when connecting my MBA to a new TV via HDMI, the TV screen shows my 'Mission Control' with relevant windows open, but not the content of those windows, such as a video playing in Safari. When I select the Safari window, the TV just shows the grey background same as Mission Control default?
Copying 1.3 TB of data from one USB2 drive to another, using the port on the TB display and a port on the MBP it was going to take three days plus, moving the drives so both coming off the MBP the data copies in about 12 hours, about what you would expect, and what I experienced on my Mac Pro. I have not noticed this in the past but have only ever moved small amounts via USB. (maybe I also need to run a speed test on the TB RAID.) All software up to date?

Just bought a new MacBook Pro. Tried using Data Migration Assistant. It was wanting to transfer data using my wireless network with an estimated time to complete of 40 hours. Would I be able to accomplish this faster using Thunderbolt?
I recently purchased Thunderbold (TB) display and 17" Macbook Pro. My TB flickers quite often and disconnects. Then I have to power off TB and reconnect. All updates are current. Dont know what the issue will be. Is there any utility to check the condition of TB. I did not connect any peripherals to TB except the Macbnook Pro.
I'm looking at getting a Thunderbolt HD for backup (Time Machine).I have a MBP (early 2011), which has a TB port, but my other machine is a MacBook from 2007, which has USB2.0 and FW400 ports. I don't want to use different HDs for the backups, so can I use an adaptor to connect the the 2007 machine via either USB2.0 or FW400?

I have a 2007 MacBook Pro, and I use the VGA adapter to connect to my TV. I always connect/disconnect while the Mac is off. My dad has a new MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt, and I'm getting him a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable. Does he need to have his Mac off while connecting to the TV, or is it hot-swappable?
I just received a new Macbook Pro (2012, retina display) and a 27" Thunderbolt display. I am having problems getting the notebook to turn on the display. I called Apple (Monday) and they had me reset the SMC and then the PRAM. After this the monitor was recognized and worked fine for the rest of the evening. However, when I turned things on yesterday evening the monitor would not turn on, and resetting the SMC and PRAM (multiple times) has no effect.
Info:MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Once I disconnect the Macbook Pro from the thunderbolt and re attache it no longer recognizes the USB keyboard (all Apple products). I restart and switch USB cable around and sometimes it works but not consistently. Considering how much money is invested in your products you would expect them to work together.

I have 17 inch Macbook Pro with 1 Thunderbolt port. Currently i have an connected an external monitor through thunderbolt port. ( mini Display to VGA Adapter)
Now I want to connect an external hardisk that has a thunderbolt port ? How do I do this?
I bought my Macbook Pro last september along with my Thunderbolt monitor.Everything was working until today (yes today was my first time bringing my Macbook Pro elsewhere) and when I moved it, the display shut off.then I realized that when I just move the Thunderbolt plug around it would turn on and off the display depending which side I would hold. would it be a problem with the Monitor cable? or a problem with the Macbook Pro itself? both are still under warranty, so I'm not worried, but it saves me the trouble of lugging either (especially the monitor) back to the Apple store.Â
