Hi Simon, are you sure you have a Thunderbolt display? Does the connector have a lightning bolt symbol? There was also the Cinema Display with a screen symbol. Same plug. Fits into the Thunderbolt socket, but is a Mini DisplayPort plug. It does not work with the adapter. Although it fits. I have a Thunderbolt display and the adapter. However, I haven't used them together yet. I will catch up. I'm interested to see if it works (MacBook Pro, Apple Silicon). Best regards
It would work because of the signal. But I don't know whether Windows recognises it.

No problem with a 2019 model
I use it to connect an old Thunderbolt display to a newer Mac Unfortunately I don't know if it works in the opposite direction
I have used the adapter in different ways: 1. Mac mini with Thunderbolt 1 port -> Thunderbolt 1/2 cable -> adapter -> Thunderbolt 3 hard drive (USB-C port). 2. MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C port) -> adapter -> Thunderbolt 1/2 cable -> Thunderbolt 1 hard drive Both work flawlessly. It is important to understand that the adapter can only and exclusively connect Thunderbolt ports. A USB-C port on a hard drive does not necessarily mean that it belongs to a Thunderbolt interface. Most of the time, a USB-C connection hides a USB 3.1 interface, which is already much more performant than USB 2.0 interfaces, but does not understand the Thunderbolt protocol. You can usually recognise Thunderbolt-compatible ports by a lightning symbol. The cables must also be Thunderbolt (with lightning symbol), otherwise the communication will not be adjustable. A pure USB-C cable is NOT sufficient!

Yes, it should work. I also use the adapter, for example, to operate Thunderbolt 2 RAID drives on the MacBook Pro with M1 (Thunderbolt 4).

Hello, I bought this adapter with a 0.5m Thunderbolt 2 cable to use my iMac as an external display with my MacBook Air 2022. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use this adapter with a MacBook Air 2022 as an external display. You need to have at most macOS High Sierra. There is a procedure on the apple support but I haven't had the time to apply it yet: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204592 I'm sorry.
Yes, this is a TB2 to TB3 adapter. It allows the old Thunderbolt to be used with the new connections.

Yeah. Should be fine.
Normally yes, the connection is the right one. :)
With or without power cables, hard drives, raids, smartphones -- anything goes.
I have not yet been able to use the Thunderbolt 1 connection with a modern hard drive with this adapter - even with a power-supplying hub in between. Have since put the experiment on hold until I find more information on it. - Alfred

NOT the one from Apple. There is a small mini video dock from Startech: https://macandegg.de/2016/11/thunderbolt-3-auf-mini-display-port-adapter-gibts-nicht-von-apple/
If your audio interface really has a Thunderbolt 2 connection, it should work. This adapter is expressly made for this purpose according to the description on Apple's product website. It states: "The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter lets you connect Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices - such as external hard drives or Thunderbolt Docks - to any Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) / USB 4 port on your Mac. Because it's a bi-directional adapter, you can also use it to connect new Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac with a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port and macOS Sierra or later. ..." I had bought the adapter by mistake when I wanted to connect an external SSD to a MacPro 2013 (with Thunderbolt 2). The problem was that the external SSD had a USB-C port, but this is not also a Thunderbolt 3 port.
Only if it has a Thunderbolt 3 interface. If the Dell only supports USB 3.1, the adapter will not work.
No, unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

The required cable is basically correct (to activate Target Mode you always need a connected keyboard to execute "CMD-F2"): The question is rather The required iMac Taget supports Display Mode: more info here: https://applerepairstation.co.uk/Technical%20Desk/use-your-imac-as-a-display-with-target-display-mode/ The 17.1 rather not, the 11.3 rather Yes, good luck
Good morning Baszero The iMac 2019 cannot be used as an External Display with any cable. This has not been possible since 2014. See: https://www.google.ch/amp/s/www.ajoure-men.de/technik/computer-handy/imac-als-externen-bildschirm-benutzen-so-funktioniert-es-wirklich/%3fampExterner screen can be used. This has no longer been possible since 2014. Sorry for the negative answer
I bought this and it was working perfectly, I don't know if you have the same screen like mine. But you need to use 2 UBC-C one for the electrical power and one for the screen output
If the Surface has a USB-C output for video and the Apple display has a Thunderbolt 2 connection, then this could work.
That's what I asked myself and ordered several right away :oD... Now they have probably noticed that they were much cheaper than the competition and have adjusted the price... ;o)
