Thunderbolt pilot?

Users of Windows Audio Pro need a "core level" Thunderbolt pilot of Microsoft.

Universal Audio, one of the leading manufacturers in Pro Audio Hardware and Software,.

said the lack of a lightning conductor that Microsoft is the reason why their newest

audio interfaces don't take support Macs. Windows users are getting left here.

So fewer people are going to be using Windows for the Pro Audio.

Why Microsoft is not developing the Thunderbolt pilot they claim that if we want

incorporate this tech (Thunderbolt) on Windows machines?

What is the real skinny here?

Should I be ditching Windows software and hardware for a Mac if I want to continue in the

modern Pro Audio field? Please, no PC vs Mac debates here. I just need to know if

Microsoft have no immediate plans to produce the driver said.

Computers are just tools and I will use all does the job with the least amount of

headache. So far, for me, it was the PC that I build myself.

(Mac or PC does not really matter for me however)

Thanks for any info.

Microsoft does not write third-party drivers.  The developers have done.  It is for them to develop their driver for their software.

    Just installed the HP PCIe Thunderbolt adapter in my workstation z820.  Everything seemed to go well, with the device recognized by Windows 7 PRO.

    However, I can't get my PC to 'see' the four hard disks attached to my OWC ThunderBay IV drive.  (See attached screenshot of the Device Manager).

    Any suggestions?

    After talking with the help of HP, it was determined that a driver is required for this Thunderbay IV player work with Windows 7, despite the OWC saying otherwise.

  • Thunderbolt display don't wake up since I installed Sierra

    I have a Mid-2012 13 "Macbook Pro with a Thunderbolt display. After that I installed MacOS Sierra, my screen often wakes up not when I hit the mouse or the keyboard. I can usually solve the problem by simply unplugging the display Plug and then plug it back it - very annoying. I searched for solutions to this problem on the web and tried everything to reset NVRAM and SMC, reset the display, memory even deleted some plist files obsolete, but the problem persists. Someone at - it similar problems, of the solutions.

  • Thunderbolt display is no longer detected

    I have a late 2013, MacBook Pro and a 27 inch Thunderbolt display, bought in September 2014. I use the screen without problems since then. But today the display is no longer detected. I got the MacBook disconnected from the screen, which has been briefly disconnected from the sector. (It was a power outage scheduled as it happens, but I don't see how that makes a difference).

    Now, when I connect display of the power of the lead part works fine but the screen does not illuminate. To the search, in the report of the system, the Thunderbolt Bus shows two Ports both with "no device connected". I have a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter and shows.

    I tried all the usual troubleshooting steps: disconnected power for a few minutes, resetting the NVRAM, reset SMC. A ran Diagnostics from Apple on the MacBook - all very good. I don't know what I can do. The Thunderbolt connector is slightly warm to the touch, which I think is always the case.

    Everyone you have other ideas please?

    Hey donnysp,

    If I understand correctly, the external display Thunderbolt is not recognized by MacBook Pro.  Looks like you already have a troubleshooting. I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.

    Check the connections on your Mac and external screens:

    • If you use an Apple laptop computer, try to connect the AC adapter.
    • Make sure that the power cable from the external display is connected correctly and that your display is enabled.
    • If you are using a Mac Pro (end of 2013), make sure that your screens are plugged into the right ports.
    • If you use a hub of display, Cabinet or "KVM", try to connect the video cable from your screen directly to your Mac instead.
    • Unplug the video cable where it plugs into your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
    • If you are using a video card, unplug the video adapter on your Mac, then reconnect to reinsert the connection.
    • If you use multiple video cards to connect your screen (the cards are "chained"), testing connection of the screen by using a single adapter if possible. Some video cards may not be linked together. For example, a mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter may not be connected to an adapter DVI to HDMI.
    • If your screen has more than one video connection, see if you are using another connection on the display works. If possible, check if you use a different view or a different adapter works.
    • Try using another cable that you know to be in working condition. Check with the manufacturer of the screen to make sure that you use the cable they recommend.

    Post edited by: Uncle_Badger

    OK well this question seems to have left stunned everyone, BUT we solved!

    We discovered that if you put the machine we want to first image in Disk Mode target, then connect it to a computer with a NETWORK card we can image.

    Basically, the new laptop is placed in CT and just acts as a piece of the storage bin.
    When you netboot Mac that is connected with you select hard isk of laptop computer attached via TDM as a destination for the image.

    Hey presto, no more problems!
