Can I connect a new Macbook Air with Thunderbolt cable to an older iMac with a mini-display port only?
Can I connect a new Macbook Air with Thunderbolt cable to an older iMac with a mini-display port only? If not, Apple should introduce thin, 27-inch display (as on newer iMacs). Why would I buy current Thunderbolt display when it's basically my current iMac, less the computer part, with the additional ports?
Thanks.- Asked by Gary S from Vacaville

UAD to Thunderbolt
If you upgrade to a new computer one that doesn't have a express card for your laptop then you have to use the thunderbolt option. What I want to know is what adaptor do you use to connect the UAD card to the thunderbolt cable.

Can this cable be used to transfer digital audio signal to another divice like a DAC?
Can this Thunderbolt cable be used to transfer digital audio signal to another digital divice like a DAC, or a digital multi chanel audio-mixtable ?
(or in the future maybe?)
My main problem is that they have took the digital audio S/P-DFI away from the last generation Mac mini ;(
And there are no other digital audio ports anymore.
(PS: the hdmi port is used for my monitor. (but it have no audio)
and don't talk me about USB output. USB gave always digital distortion (Jitter)
As USB never have been build for this purpose.- Asked by Anonymous A

When Wi-Fi is being too slow, I currently use an ethernet cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my mac mini server, running the Minecraft server software. Can I use this Thunderbolt cable instead of the ethernet cable I have been using, for an even faster connection?
