I would have thought that mdp to the tb display would work just fine as well -
But somehow it seems that the opposite is the case:


16. Can I connect a Mini DisplayPort display to my Apple Thunderbolt Display for computers that support using more than one display?

Mini DisplayPort displays will not function if connected to the Thunderbolt port of an Apple Thunderbolt Display. Displays connected via Mini DisplayPort video adapter or cable to the Thunderbolt port of an Apple Thunderbolt Display will not work.

I guees your only option is to fast forward to december and get (at least) one new mac pro ;-)

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

Based on the explicit advice of an Apple Store employee, I bought an Apple Thunderbolt display with the intention of using it temporarily 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 laptop or Mac Pro later. Because Apple says you can. (Even if you can't plug a mDP 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 mini Display Port connectors on an ATI/AMD Radeon HD 5870, and the Display Port connector on an NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (through a MDP to DP adaptor), and neither work. The Mac - through remote screen sharing - says no monitor is connected.

The monitor itself works fine when plugged into 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 CC 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 file in question.. just need it opened, saved down to 5.5 and closed, no worries about assets being missing, etc.

Thanks,
