I wouldn't be worried necessarily about taking advantage of the Thunderbolt speed at this point, and so hoped there might be a cable adapter chain I could use to make it work in the meantime.I'm sure there are all kinds of architectural reasons this wouldn't work, but figured I'd ask just in case.Thanks! 129 2 My current audio interface is FW400 and 10 years old, so I plan to retire it.This Mac Pro doesn't have FW800, only 400, and some (early generation?) USB ports. I'm looking to get a UA Arrow Thunderbolt 3 audio interface to use with the iMac, but wondered if I get the interface early if there's any way to hook it up to my Mac Pro to try it out and get used to it. My dilemma runs in the opposite direction.I have an early 2008 Mac Pro which I plan to replace with a newer iMac within the next couple of months. The Dell you mentioned has a DisplayPort interface, accessible with a cheap Mini DisplayPort (plugs directly into ThunderBolt-2 ports on your Mac Pro 2013) to DisplayPort adapter cable.Thunderbolt 3 device to firewire 400 port? This is probably a ridiculous question, but I've searched the web and could really only find people wanting to connect an old Firewire device to a newer computer's Thunderbolt port.
A screen buffer in the display itself keeps refresh rates as high as possible. The lower data rate means everything runs cooler. These display drop the "heartbeat" refresh required for CRT displays and send only the changed data. If that does not work, then they have indeed sold you stuff that will not work with your Mac.īest results for other displays are provided by displays with modern DisplayPort family interfaces. No others, such as the Apple MacBook Charging cable (which is useless for anything but charging) will work.īut be sure to do a Restart or sleep-and-wake your Mac to be certain the display is recognized (if possible).
I would expect this display to work ONLY with the Apple Thunderbolt-3 to Thunderbolt-2 adapter used with a cable that carries the Thunderbolt symbol on each end. To be effective, the cable should have the ThunderBolt symbol on each end, not a USB symbol. It does not describe any function of the cable. USB-C is the name of the connector, ONLY. According to that description, this is a genuine Thunderbolt-3 Display (similar LG display sold outside the Mac App Store is only a USB display).
