thunderbolt 3

Hey guys, Here are the specs of my iMac: iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB It is still a pretty capable machine (just annoyed by the black fogginess on the bottom of the screen), but I made the mistake...

Hi everyone! I just picked up a really good deal on an Apple Thunderbolt Display that I couldn't pass up to use with my Macbook Pro 13" Touch Bar (2017 model). It sounds like the definition of "first world problem", but i'm trying to come up with a "one cable solution" that would allow me to...

Another MacBook Air 13" 2015 connected to my MacBook Pro 15" 2016 as Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Target Disk Mode is failed right now! I'm not happy. The other MacBook Air 13" 2015 is totally kids computer. MacBook Air is designed for under 21 years old. MacBook Pro is designed for over...

Anyone have info on this monitor on whether it should charge over usb-c or not?? Just got my new macbook pro with a Vega 20 in it and bought this monitor last week hoping it would charge over USB-C using a thunderbolt 3 cable. Display works, the battery icon shows a thunderbolt going through...

Hello professionals :D I'm a proud owner of an iMac Pro for a few days now. I'm coming from an iMac 2013 with Thunderbolt 1 and no retina display. I observed an oddity with external drives and wanted to ask for advice... It's with the SanDisk Extreme 900 (a 1,92TB SSD in Raid0). While on my...

I made a video showing how to build your own fast external NVMe SSD: I am using this setup with a Macbook Pro and will continue to use it as a boot drive with the new Mac Mini. I am thinking that it is the best way to get a fast and large SSD without becoming poor at the same time. Sonnet...

Hey! Anyone with two UltraFine 4k monitors who has been able to connect them to the MBP using only one cable? Either with a dock/hub or some hack. I have search the entire internet but wasn't able to find anything unfortunately. Any answer/help will be appreciated, cheers! :)

How is life with only 1 port? What are the restrictions with non-Thunderbolt 3 compatibility? I am presuming today there aren't many devices though this may change. Is the 5Gbps upper limit an issue, or is this just for "pro" use, i.e. multi-5k screens, plus TB3-native SSDs or eGPUs? Is there...

I'll give you the answer, but first, let me say this: Apple, YOU STINK. Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. <End Rant> ANSWER: To make a 4K60 external display work with a 2018 MacBook Pro, you need to purchase a USB Type-C to DisplayPort cable, you have to plug the cable into the LEFT SIDE...

How can I connect my old Apple Thunderbolt display to my iMac 5k 2017 USB-C ? Do I need the very expensive Apple adapter or there is some competition around? I looked around but couldn't find any so far, a lot of mini-display connectors but I'm not sure it will work with my Thunderbolt Display...

hello guys, have equipement need high speed connection, who know which thunderbolt 3 pcie card will work on mac pro 2009 please? will Asus Thunderbolt EX 3 will do? many thanks

I'm finding the same problem I had with my 2015 MBP - all thunderbolt hubs cost upwards of $300. It's damn near impossible to find something portable and inexpensive under that price - everything I have found have been USB-C hubs. I need the following connections: USB3, SD Card, HDMI. And...

Just a technical inquiry about Mojave. I'm considering a new- or refurbished-hardware-purchase in the coming months. Could be a 27-inch iMac i7 or a MacBook Pro 13-inch 17 w/ eGPU. Either setup would include an external monitor. I am concerned about window management when using multiple programs...

I have been using the new MBP 15" 2018 with a Thunderbolt 3 Dock (that worked great with the 2017 MBP) hooked up to two external monitors, when I leave to go to a meeting with my laptop, I pull the TB3 cable and when I get to my meeting, I open the lid, the TouchBar says "External Display...

So, as I continue to explore the Boot Camp thing, my searching seems to point to the fact that Windows 10 won’t install itself on an external drive for booting from that drive without a lot of workarounds and, even if you somehow make that happen, the resulting installation thereafter won’t...

Hey guys, Did anybody manage to connect LaCie 5Big ThunderBolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 - enabled mac? I do have MacBook Pro 13" with two thunderbolt 3 ports, to which I am trying to connect this 5Big device using Thunderbolt 2 - Thunderbolt 2 cable and Thunderbolt 2 - Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Seems...

Howdee! Trying to find a Thunderbolt 3 male to Thunderbolt 2 male lead. I see adapters are available but that'd require an extra dongle: Device (Macbook Pro mid-2017) ---> Thunderbolt 3 (male) to Thunderbolt 2 (female) adapter ---> Thunderbolt 2 (male) to Thunderbolt 2 (male) lead --->...

Hey everyone... I haven't looked at MacBook and its accessories for a long time and things just got a little confusing for me. The company that I work for gives me a new 2017 MBP. Thing is, it has 4 ports that look like USB-C but I read around, it may be called Thunderbolt 3. Do you know which...

Hi everyone In 2016 when the 1st iteration got released, the 2 right side TB3 ports had reduced bandwidth due to lower PCIe lanes (12 as opposed to 16 compared to the 15" model): https://www.macrumors.com/2016/10/28/macbook-pro-tb3-reduced-pci-express-bandwidth/ This year, both the 13" and the...
