2016 12 '' MacBook Apple Thunderbolt Display retina?

Just got a new 12 "retina MB. Is it possible to connect it to an Apple Thunderbolt Display Monitor?

Unfortunately, the MacBook was only a USB - C port, and Apple Thunderbolt Display Monitor requires a Mac with Thunderbolt to work, so you can't use it.

  • Connection 12 '' Macbook to Thunderbolt display does not work (USB - C for HDMI / Lightning)

    I have connected a retina 12 '' Macbook to a Thunderbolt display via two adapters, and no video is coming through.

    Here is what I use:

    1 USB - C for HDMI: (Apple USB - C to HDMI adapter)

    2 HDMI to Thunderbolt (Monoprice adapter)

    Any ideas what's happening? The Thunderbolt display is without a doubt, since power is to come via USB when I plug my phone directly on the back of the monitor. The Apple adapter works because I could try to connect directly to a LG monitor with HDMI ports.

    The present model 2015 MacBook 12 inch Retina does not support the Apple Thunderbolt display

    what I read.  The other models Apple Cinema can work if they are used with correct adapters

    as other brands. Some adapters support the audio, while others do. Note there is

    limits for the specifications of display supported; This can limit their usefulness if it is not better configured.

    Special adapters and cables can allow to configure some display options for use with the MacBook.

    The graphical support through MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro varies with the specifications.

    The absence of a Thunderbolt port, use of adapters to provide only what it can bear MacBook 12 plug-in software component.

    and the mini-display port cannot connect or transfer at frequencies Thunderbolt usage views. The

  • MacBook Pro + Thunderbolt display vs VMWare Fusion

    Configuration:

    -New MacBook Pro

    -New Thunderbolt display

    -Keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB ports on Thunderbolt display

    -VMWare Fusion 4.0.2 running a Ubuntu 10.04 VM

    If I turned the laptop without the screen plugged and then plug into the screen, the keyboard and the mouse (connected on the screen) do not respond. I need to unplug the display and plug it in again, and then, usually, the devices will work. I'm going back with Apple support, and he got up to what they wanted me to ship everything back - they have not seen this before.

    I then had a hunch that merger (which is still running) may cause a problem. Of course - if I stop or suspend my VM before connecting the screen, everything works fine. So I strongly suspect a bug in Fusion.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    VMware Fusion 4.1 addresses a compatibility issue with the USB devices connected via a Thunderbolt display. You will be prompted to auto-update the next time you restart VMware Fusion (or manually check the updates).

  • MacBook Pro & Thunderbolt Display

    If I understand this correctly:

    7 is the Thunderbolt port power devices connected?

    Yes. A Thunderbolt port powers if this Thunderbolt port is part of a device that is connected to a power outlet or is running on battery power. If your Thunderbolt devices have their own power supply, you must connect the power supplies to them for optimal functionality. If you use Thunderbolt devices that get their power that from the Thunderbolt bus, computers running on battery power will be draining the battery faster.

    Then, if the screen is connected to a MacBook Pro power will be provided BUT is a supplied cable (w/Display) for the connection of the screen with the MBP, or is it necessary to buy it separately?

    According to http://www.apple.com/thunderbolt/, it can provide 10 W. That's enough for hard drives and other small devices.

    Displays generally take 100 W or more. So, you will want to connect the screen on the seizure of power.

  • Try to connect 2007 Apple Cinema Display to the retina of MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro retina 2015 to my old Apple Cinema Display 2007. Apple recommended the purchase of the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI. I connected everything except directly from monitor adding firewire cable.

    I can see the image of the bottom of my laptop, but it is. No feature and not an imitator of my laptop. I'm not 'super tech savvy' but need help. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Looks like you have the display as extended desktop configuration. With this the second screen is like an extension of the first screen. For the use of several screens, see:

    It is similar to the other versions of OSX

  • 2015 Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz > 16GB RAM 1 TB > PCIe SSD > overheating with Thunderbolt Display 27 "> Constant MAX RPM fan speed

    Hello community,

    First of all, I want to congratulate Apple on the construction of such a laptop well. It is a luxury product that is clearly desired by most people, which I understand very well that he's a new owner. But entering the heart of the problem that I face outside this machine being an external engineering masterpiece.

    Professional background:

    I'm a computer engineer / scientist / programmer by profession. I am currently employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a Senior Consulting Engineer level IV for their BIG Data Software Division. Yes, I program (Java and c#), scripts (powershell, batch and SQL), solutions architect, design, to test software and debugging, implement large enterprise-level solutions ranging from a cluster of 2 mirrors servers-to-of thousands of servers to multiple clusters (even from a perspective of work station of the missions of deployment from 200 KB - to - 50 jobs in the world) work with SQL databases on a daily basis, working with storage devices (SAN mutli-million dollar NAS and DAS), provide an infrastructure troubleshooting and problem resolution, have 8 international recognised certifications, a degree of master of science and involved with concerts on the side as well as build computers as a hobby. My computer knowledge is vast and my RESUME goes beyond what I have briefly described. It is important that I give this background to demonstrate that my level of computer knowledge is beyond the scope of this post.

    Laptop Usecase:

    Recently I bought mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 "2.8 GHz Intel i7 quad core, AMD dedicated GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 1 Portable SSD PCIe TB from an authorized Apple dealer. To maximize the beauty of this gem, I also bought a monitor Thunderbolt Apple 27 "due to its ability to offer a dedicated gigabit NIC and additional USB connectors. Basically, the screen acts as a central docking for the laptop and offers additional i/o that does not have the laptop (somewhat a disappointment that it's called a 'PRO' for laptop - this can be discussed in an extra thread).

    I will mostly use the laptop for tasks related to work as operating on dozens of remote servers via RDP, using office 2011 and 2016 Lync, Eclipse for Java programming, access the HPE intranet for related tasks at work, set up conference calls, connection with clients remotely via WebEx or TeamViewer and typical everyday computing. For fun, I'll use the laptop to compose music through Logic Pro X, browsing the Web, doing work with Photoshop/Lightroom/and other products Adobe, Web browsing, Email, Youtube, NetFlix, coding, and other basis for computing tasks.

    Question:

    I am primarily an engineer Windows to the heart and don't work well with Unix/Linux, so forgive me if certain acronyms and terminology is slightly outside when it comes to the OS.

    The question that I am currently facing is how HOT and high cell phone VOICE gets during very little use. It seems that, given the 27 "Apple Thunderbolt connected display cause heating and the fans to be excessive and loud. 'A little' work around the question I unplugged the lightning poster power adapter and have dedicated the trendy laptop adapter. It 'a bit' reduces the amount of heat generated, which reduces the speed of the fan to be a little less quiet. However, the noise level of fans and heat is not reduced enough to convince me!

    After the control process during the time of the laptop being extremely strong and warm, I noticed the only vivid process is the process of "kernel_task". However, I debunked this theory by leaving the unit to return to a normal state, that required me disconnected the Thunderbolt display, and the process ran again without all the negative effects of heat and noise.

    So, why Apple would create a laptop that indicates the external monitor is fully compatible, can support up to 2 external displays with no problems and provides a support for this configuration, if there are any other problems when connecting?


    * Please do not provide responses that I have received a bad laptop or a bad monitor. Appears not to be the case because when I am doing absolutely nothing on the machine, heat is minimal and the fans are 'enough' quiet, even when connected to the Thunderbolt display. However, even simple web browsing on the Thunderbolt display forces do MAX out fans and heat is generated quickly.

    I love this laptop. His elegant, fun to work on, is luxurious and is a potential item that meets all my needs. But I just can't justify spending more than $4 K on a configuration that will cause problems and significantly reduce the lifetime of the laptop.

    1 should I return the laptop and love at first sight appear and waiting for Skylake edition which will be released in the coming months (energy consumption reduced, rising in power and performance, and (?) one possible different GPU that excels much better than 'crap' AMD GPU?

    2. or should I paste and see if a solution or resolution is proposed to the issues that I am experiencing?

    3. I see the same problems all over the internet. Anyone else here has the same problems?

    4. why Apple would invest in this GPU 'cheap' for such a machine power? AMD? Really? (< (less="" than)="" $150="">

    5. How can I host a Lync call with clients when I hear more the laptop that I can hear them?

    My thoughts:

    I spent $6 000.00 on the construction of an incredible machine at home. It has an Intel i7 5960 X Octa-Core processor, nVidia GTX 980, 64 GB RAM Corsair DDR4, 12 TB of disk 7200 RPM, a 512GB SSD for the OS and temporary storage, power 1200 Watt, card reader 5 in 1, a player Blu Ray optical blazing fast, liquid cooling, a Premium Asus Sound Card, the card mother 'best!' on the market (I finished this statement that fans just went back to MAX RPM0 - maybe) because I'm throwing my personal build an Apple forum?), a mechanical keyboard, mouse laser with 12 K dpi and five monitors 24 ".

    I was willing to spend that money on a laptop of luxury that I can travel with, but is it really worth what I'm going through? Also, others on the Internet said they have returned their Macbook Pro for the same model without the dedicated GPU and no longer meet the problem. BUT why someone would invest $3 K in a machine without a good graphics card? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

    PLEASE, I BEG YOU! Can someone help APPLE me this question?

    If I am not convinced to the contrary, Apple then lost me as a customer forever and return to Windows, I oppose the $4 500.00 I spent. If I am convinced to stay, then Apple will get $4K out of me at all times every 3-4 years, I invested in most any software.

    Also, if I can post a video showing you what I'm listening to, then you will be in shock. Honestly, I'd like to keep this machine, but I need help to understand what is happening and what can be done to correct the problem.

    Thank you

    Everyone from Apple have a preview? I am pretty surprised to have not received a response.

    Please help me out here.

  • Retina MacBook Pro + Cinema Display = 25% of the images visible when open

    Every time I opened a picture, I see only 25% of it. I type Cmd +, Cmd - to zoom in & out each time. This is ridiculous. I think the problem might have something to do with the fact that the retina display has twice the density of pixels. It's just a theory, but I would bet money that he is the culprit. I just realized that the problem does not exist when I don't have my external monitor plugged.

    Here's what I see on the monitor external 27 ":

    Screenshot 2014-10-11 11.11.02.png

    Then after hitting Cmd +, Cmd-, that's what I see (this web form has reduced this image, but you get the gist):

    Screenshot 2014-10-11 11.11.07.png

    Can someone tell me please how to avoid this maddening problem? I contacted the Support Adobe technique, and they cannot help me with this problem. They gave up; they simply ignore my emails at this point.

    I use the latest version of Photoshop CC on a fairly new 15 "MacBook Pro retina with a 27" no - Thunderbolt Apple Cinema Display.


    Thank you

    Matt

    Thank you! I was able to reproduce the problem by using a Setup dual monitor as you have described. I logged it in our database of bugs for a developer can take a look. Looks like Photoshop is confused when it comes to the scaling of the image correctly to fit the screen while you work with a retina and monitor non-retine. The only solution I have at the moment is to use the command-0 to force the image to fit the screen. I know that's not a great alternative to what you already do, but it is a minus button.

    I also found that I got better results if I switched to tabs - sometimes opens the first image zoomed in, but after that, they would hold on the screen. If you can fit it into your workflow you can try it.

  • Can I connect a Macbook from 12 "to my old Apple Cinema Display 30 ''?

    I have a new 12 "MacBook that I cannot connect to my Thunderbolt display, but was hoping to connect it to my old Apple Cinema Display 30". So far, no luck, don't just wanted to ask if it was a popular race of crazy or maybe I was doing something wrong.

    The 30 "Cinema Display has a DVI port out, and so far I used it successfully with an old MacBook Air via an Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

    Then I thought, 'I'll buy a USB - C for the Mini DisplayPort adapter!' thinking that I would be able to link 12 '' MacBook with USB - C to Mini DisplayPort adapter Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to Apple Cinema Display 30 ''.

    It does not work. I tried two different USB - C for the Mini DisplayPort adapters and two different Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, without success.

    If this work, or is it doomed to failure? And if it should work, what can I do better?

    Thank you

    Alan

    A single adapter would be the best bet. If you can find a C - USB to DVI, maybe that would work, assuming that the Cinema display does not use a DVI port updated the. Here is a sample of the Amazon.

  • How to connect mid 2000 Apple Cinema Display to all new MacBook Pro

    Hi all

    I have an old monitor Apple Cinema Display (probably around 2005/2006) and would like to connect it to my new MacBook Pro. I bought the cable I thought I needed but it wasn't the right one, so to avoid that happening again, please could someone advise which is the right cable to use.

    Thank you!

    I have no idea of what you purchased was not compatible.

    You will need an adapter of your Thunderbolt port for the cinema display.  I guess (since you don't specify the entries on the screen) that your cinema display has a DVI input then get something like these:
