Aug 13, 2014 8:03 AM in response to caronte88by braden85,Hey caronte88,
The DVI to Mini DisplayPort cable will work with your computer. You can use the following article for further information pertaining to this question:
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

3. My computer has the same connector but the symbol is different, what does that mean?
Some Apple computer have a Thunderbolt port instead of a Mini DisplayPort. Computers with a Thunderbolt port will have the following symbol next a port although the port physically appears the same as a Mini DisplayPort:
Thunderbolt ports:
- Are compatible with all of the Mini DisplayPort adapters referenced below in question 5 and with Apple Mini DisplayPort equipped displays.
- Support adapters like Apple's Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter which are not otherwise compatible with Mini DisplayPorts.
See Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) for more information on Thunderbolt.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Aug 13, 2014 12:20 PM in response to braden85by caronte88,thanks for the answer. I know the compatibility with DVI and VGA standard: on the apple store there are the adapters that I need (mini DP to DVI-D and mini DP to VGA). During a search on google, I have found some posts which states the full compatibility of thunderbolt with DVI-I (but not with original adapter) (so, with a simple DVI-I to VGA adapter, that I have, I must buy only the mini DP to DVI-I ), while in other states the opposite. I would like to know who is right and who is not.
