Can this minidisplay port connect to a thunderbolt? Which adaptor should be used to connect a macbook air 2013 to a VGA cable?

I am currently using this adapter on my 2013 MacBook Air which, according to Apple.com, only has a "Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)". I can attest that yes, it will work. Also, question 18 on this Apple support site is relevant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219

I do not think this is the adaptor you need. It will tell exactly the models it fits if you look further into the description info.

Yes, you'll just need one of these: C&E CNE11274 Mini DisplayPort to DVI Female Adapter Cable for MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air and Mac miniI use this same set-up on my mac mini, works great.

If you want to plug a DVI Monitor into a MiniDisplayport/Thunderbolt, you could just use the Apple Mini-Displayport to DVI Connector.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter?fnode=51

Well yes and know. It is a mini display port and USB extension cable. Many if not all of the Apple computers that have a Thunderbolt portfor the monitor output will work if you connect a mini-display port monitor. I know you can do this with a mac mini as I did it in the Apple store. You won't be able to daisy chain the thunderbolt to connect other devices. So in some circumstances I have seen people connect an external thunderboltdrive and then a mini-display port at the end of the chain and it works.

It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out. With that said I would go with the BlueRigger since their cables seem to be very well made in general. Also, with some third party displayport adapters, the end that plugs into your Mac is sometimes oversized which can interfere with surrounding ports (admittedly I don't know what the back of a Mac Mini looks like). The BlueRigger looks like it would fit without interfering with any surrounding ports. I would take it over an official Apple adapter: http://www.amazon.com/BlueRigger-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Female-Adapter/dp/B007KB0EGC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1380670081&sr=8-8&keywords=displayport+dvi

You just need an adapter for the imac's thunderbolt port. I won an imac 27" 2013 and this monitor. Both awesome.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

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

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

This is the Video Support for Apple Mac Mini MD387LL/A Desktop: Thunderbolt digital video output * Native Mini DisplayPort output * DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately) * VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately) * Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately) You would need to also buy a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. The monitor comes with a VGA cable. To support the VGA output, you would need to also purchase the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. Otherwise, the monitor works great.

Hello from Ecomade Arena. No. Mini DisplayPort(Thunderbolt) to DVI adapter does not works. That is Mini DP to DVI-Single adapter, it only support 1920*1080 resolution rate. Mini DP to DVI-dual link adapter can support 2560*1440 resolution.

If you have a USB and Thunderbolt connection on your Mac then you need to get an adapter that converts the DVI/VGA to Thunderbolt and you're good to go

Depends on what Mac you have. Macbook Pros have an HDMI port so this adapter will work with it, however Macbook Airs do not so you'd have to get a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter first. At that point it might be better to find a Thunderbolt-to-VGA adapter instead.

Yes. You need an adaptor as the cord is VGA; however, I have been successfully connecting it to a Macbook Air with no difficulty.

Does you Macbook has VGA port? The VGA has to be the source for this adapter. You probably need a HDMI to VGA adapter.

you need a mini DVI to VGA adaptor for macbook. its usually less than 10 dollars. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Veecome-Adapter-Cable-Macbook-Round-head/dp/B008FMBLVM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1384209024&sr;=8-1&keywords;=vga+for+macbook

I use an "Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" for my monitor at work that runs 1920x1080 resolution. However, the standard DisplayPort adapters max out at 1920x1200, so at home, I use the "Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension" to connect to my 30" Apple Cinema Display that runs 2560x1600. You obviously don't have to use Apple.. I'm sure any Mini Display Port adapter will work. I just find Apple adapters to be high quality and readily available.
