Dec 23, 2011 12:01 AM in response to hoffmanFamily4by edmo117,Thanks Kevin
NOT the answer I wanted - needless to say - my problem is that the MBP will be out with me and my wife needs to use the PC - on the desk with the Thunderbolt display.
As far as I can see there are only 2 solutions - find a miracle box from somewhere or.....get a bigger desk!!
All the best and thanks for your working solution

I am sure that Kanex don't do anything that will help you no matter how expensive it may be. I went round this loop for ages trying to find a way to connect my PC to the Thunderbolt display.....as of now there is NO WAY so don't waste your money.

So you're saying that the Kanex product doesn't do what it's designed to do? I am trying to connect the LED monitor to my MacPro's DVI slot. Is this not possible?

Mar 18, 2012 12:05 PM in response to seb29by edmo117,As far as I am aware, and I have done a lot of reading about this, you can connect an older display to the new Thunderbolt port of a new MAC but you CANNOT connect the Thunderbolt display to anything other than a MAC with a Thunderbolt port. The Kanex thing works from a Thunderbolt port into an older display, DVI or whatever but you cannot convert MAC DVI into Thunderbolt......I think. Something to do with a special Thunderbolt licence agreement that is due to expire some time this year, after which, hopefully, there should be some devices coming out to interface to Thunderbolt displays.
If anyone out there knows any different PLEASE let us all know.
Cheers and sorry for the bad news.

Jul 11, 2013 2:40 PM in response to edmo117by amirrahim,Thanks for that info. One year later, July 2013, is there now a way to output from a MacPro DVI port to those wonderful Thunderbolt displays?? No license agreements that have expired, etc.?
