As I understand it= , thunderbolt ports are backwards compatible with mini display port based ha= rdware, but not vice versa…   

mean= ing, as I understand it, you can't hook a thunderbolt based device into a mi= ni display port, but you can plug a mini display port device into a thunderb= olt port.

Ive been able to plug a mini display port= to hdmi converter into the thunderbolt port of my new macbook air, works no= problem…

Confusing, yes!  It took me a = while to get over the fact that thunderbolt ports and mini display ports loo= k exactly the same…  

Apple store employ= ees are very hit or miss… they are light years ahead of your average b= est buy employee, but with power users such as your self chris, I wouldn't t= rust 'em!

Subject: [AE] OT: Thunderbolt display and mini Display Port

Need the collective wisdom = of actual users (as opposed to Apple Store employees or trolls on other foru= ms):

Based on the explicit advice of an Apple Store emplo= yee, I bought an Apple Thunderbolt display with the intention of using it te= mporarily on the mini Display Port output of the video card in a current-gen= Mac Pro, with the idea of migrating it to a true Thunderboth-equipped lapto= p or Mac Pro later. Because Apple says you can. (Even if you can't plug a mD= P display into the TB jack on the TB display - yes, I know that; that's not = what I'm doing here.)

I've tried it with both the m= ini Display Port connectors on an ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5870, and the Display Po= rt connector on an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (through a MDP to DP adaptor), and nei= ther work. The Mac - through remote screen sharing - says no monitor is conn= ected.

The monitor itself works fine when plugged i= nto a genuine Thunderbolt connector on one of our laptops.

Is there a magic spell to get this to work? Do I need to sacrifice a= chicken or something? Or was I lied to?

thanks on = advance for any enlightenment -
Chris

Anyone around running a copy of AE CS6 have a moment to help me?=

I've got an animator who took over a project of mine for= a client, and he's only running on AE 5.5 and I'm on CC.  I provided C= C and CS6 versions of the project, but he can't open either.. 

Would need conversion to 5.5 if possible.

message me off-list if you can help and I'll provide a link to the f= ile in question.. just need it opened, saved down to 5.5 and closed, no worr= ies about assets being missing, etc.

Thanks,
