Can I use thunderbolt to HDMI to connect macbook air?

Yes, I use it with my MacBook Pro 2014. It comes with one included. Although the interface upon start up is odd with mine. My colleague as no issues and she has a 2012 MacBook Air.

Yes there are two HDMI inputs as well as an RGB. If you have HDMI output on you Macbook, you can go HDMI to HDMI.

You said there is one included... one what? There is no cable included that allows me to connect my MacBook Air to this monitor. I bought it based on this information...

Yes and no. For example I use mine to connect from my 15in MacBook Pro that has thunderbolt, to a 27in iMac that does not have thunderbolt only mini display. I use the iMac as an external display for the MacBook Pro.

I have not used it on a MacBook Air, but Apple makes a proprietary FireWire adapter for the Thunderbolt port. If you MacBook Air predates Thunderbolt, it may be hard because your hard drive is supposed to operate off of a threshold speed. If you have Thunderbolt, you will need to buy Apple's adapter, then this, and I would imagine you could hook it up pretty easily. If you MacBook Air predates Thunderbolt, I am not sure what you would do.

Depends on how you look at it. One Thunderbolt cable gets you 3 more USB ports, wired ethernet, audio out and mic in, HDMI for a monitor, plus another Thunderbolt port to replace the one you used. We have several such setups at the office that I think are fairly typical. Wired ethernet, a desktop monitor, a wired USB keyboard and a USB to Lightning iPhone cable are all connected to the Elgato dock. A single T'bolt cable then hooks up to the user's MacBook Air when it's present. This is much simpler than connecting everything via individual cables, and in the case of the MacBook Air provides both more USB ports than the computer has, and a wired ethernet port that the Air doesn't offer at all.

You can monitor-share. If your computers are on the same wifi network, go to the Finder on the iMac, select the MacBook Air in the left-hand panel, and select the "Share Monitor..." button. (You have to have sharing set up in the Sharing Control Panel.) Once the iMac is mirroring the MBA, hit the full-screen button in the upper-right corner (I'm assuming you're running Lion or later.) Voila! You're using the iMac's monitor to run you MBA. The only other way that I'm aware of to use the iMac as a "monitor" for the MBA would be to restart the MBA in Target mode, and restart the iMac to use the MBA as its startup disk. The problem is that the iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt connector and the MBA doesn't have a Firewire connector. I think you could connect the two through a USB hub, but I'm not sure. In any case, you'd be running on the iMac, not the MBA, so I don't think there's anything to be gained by that.

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

As long as your buy the appropriate adapter cable from whatever connection your MacBook uses to either HDMI/DVI, there's no reason why it wouldn't work perfectly fine.

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

According to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#1 I believe you should be fine. Read it to be sure, but I believe the Haswell based Airs run video through thunderbolt just fine.

The MBP only has Thunderbolt output. You will need a monitor that supports Display Port/Thunderbolt or you will need a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

You can, but you might also need an adapter to connect to your Mac if it does not have an HDMI out port. I think the new Retina MacBookPro's have an HDMI but I'm not certain. Other Macs (recent ones) have a Thunderbolt port, also known as an MDP. Older Macs have different video out port. In any event, if yours does not have the HDMI video out, you just need to figure out which port you hsve and then find that type of adapter to adapt to HDMI. you can easily get an adapter at Amazon or even a local Radio Shack carries them. Enjoy your HD and your Mac!!

Hi, sorry, I don't have a MacBook Air, so I can't comment with certainty. But, if the Air has a HDMI port, then it should work, with iTunes, without an issue. It connects my Apple TV to a VGA projector perfectly.

it comes with all the adapters you would need it only has HDMi plug ins in the back of it 2 of them. it should work for you macbook air as long as it has a hdmi plug in or a some kinda compent to plug into.

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.

The cable plugs into the Thunderbolt port on my MacBook Air on one side, and the other end plugs into the HDMI input on the TV.Hope this helps!

No. This adapter only adapts HDMI video signals to VGA. The Macbook Air does not have an HDMI output. It has either a mini-DVI (for only the 2007 first generation Macbook Air models) or a display port connection (more common). If you have a Macbook Air with the display port or "Thunderbolt" connector, you should purchase a display port to VGA adapter if you want to use the VGA input on your Dell monitor. The VGA input has three rows of pins and two screw posts on either side. The VGA cable likely has blue connectors on each end.

Anastasia, Try some other USB device in the same USB port you are using this adopter. Coz in my Macbook Pro, I found one of my USB port is not working. Or try this in second USB port of your MacBook Air. and click on system preference go to network and see if it detects thunderbolt as device. May be it is not active there. Let me know if still is doesn't work.
