Hi - I've been bought a Studio Display for my birthday and I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) - I haven't been able to find a thunderbolt 2 (male) to USB-C (female) adaptor to connect the display to the Macbook. Is there any way of using the two together or is it totally out of the question?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Apple Studio Display is a 5K display with ONLY genuine ThunderBolt-3 input. the oldest MacBook Pro shown as compatible is the 2016 model-year -- the first that has a ThunderBolt-3 port.
Your MacBook Pro 13-in 2015 can not support displays wider than 4K.
Your MacBook Pro 2015 does not have a ThunderBolt-3 port. if you want to "fiddle with it", the 'only game in town' is the Apple ThunderBolt-2 <-> Thunderbolt-3 adapter, about US$50, and you would need a short genuine ThunderBolt-2 cable at the computer end. There is no guarantee that this will work.
No other adapters have ANY hope of working.

You may need a newer MacBook Pro to make solid progress.

Hi,
I think it's quite hard to find such adapter/cable unless you make it by yourself. You'd better give up to use Studio Dosplay with your MacBook Pro.
Your thunderbolt 2 port is essentially useless. You should have at least one USB-A (USB) port.
You'll need to connect via a USB-C port to use a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Apple sells a good one.
You may also have an HDMI port that can be used. I just don't remember but it'll be clearly evident by inspection.
.
Is Studio Display compatible with MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)?
