Would this cable let me use my iMac (late 2006) as a second screen for my new MacbookPro (mid 2014)

this cable is a "Thunderbolt" to "Display" I don't know if your monitor has a "Display" input. You would have to see what type of input the monitor has.

Yes. You'll need an adapter, and which kind depends on the model of Mac you have. I have a Macbook from 2010 and it has a Mini Display Port. So I bought a DVI to Mini Display Port Adapter. This attaches to the DVI cable that comes with the machine. Other machines use FireWire and there is an adapter for that as well. Get the right adapter for your Mac and then you're good to go.

Can I plug a thunderbolt display into it with Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro3.1)?

This monitor has BOTH VGA and DVI, and I am currently running it on a Mac Mini via DVI. If your iMac supports an additional DVI out I can't see why it wouldn't work.

i do not believe the iMac will work in the way you are suggesting. you would need to get a secondary display and get a Display Port to DVI Converter and connect to a non-iMac monitor

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

I replace it, for the original card in my Mac Pro 1.1.Needs the place of two slots and you can connect 2 monitors (DVI).It´s the best choice for this mac, I think.Axel

It should be but you'd likely need another adapter since most macs output using mini displayport.

If your Mac Pro has Mini DisplayPort then you can use this display. Not 100% sure but I don't think Mac Pro has Mini DisplayPort.

Yes this adapter will connect your MacBook Pro to an external non Apple monitor. But I am not sure you have two mini display ports on your Mac to connect simultaneously to two monitors.

No, this is the ACTIVE mini display port to DVI-D adapter. You'd use this if you need an active link (like if you've got a MacPro with an ATI 5770 card and you want to drive 3 displays. Apple's version is PASSIVE so you can only support 2 displays.) A dual link adapter will be labeled as such and will probably be more expensive.

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

I'm not sure. It says it works with mini display ports, but the Macbook 2006 has a mini DVI instead. Which is a less advanced version basically. I would say that it probably won't work. You could probably buy an adapter to fit them all together. Heres a link about stuff: http://store.apple.com/us/questions/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter

I don't think so diane. Since I Mac is a all in one computer. You need a computer with DVI or VGA ports. Call Apple for more info. Good luck!!

You can if your computer supports HDMI output, which most newer computers do. I can't speak specifically for an Apple, but it's a quick check if you know what an HDMI port looks like. You can find images online if you are unsure.

If the MacBook Pro has a mini DisplayPort then yes, it sounds like it is the right cable. I'm Macdumb so I couldn't tell you for 100% on that front.
