Will this cable connect my thunderbolt 2014 27" iMac to my mini displayport Late 2009 27" iMac so that i can use my 2009 iMac as a 2nd monitor?

I think so. It connected my iMac 27" to my 17" macbook pro without difficulty.

You just need an adapter for the imac's thunderbolt port. I won an imac 27" 2013 and this monitor. Both awesome.

Yes and no. For example I use mine to connect from my 15in MacBook Pro that has thunderbolt, to a 27in iMac that does not have thunderbolt only mini display. I use the iMac as an external display for the MacBook Pro.

Yes, the 2014 MBP has a Mini DVI/Thunderbolt out, and you can use the port for the display (but may need it for something else...careful). You will require a Magsafe 2 to Magsafe adapter, and I recommend the OWC Macsafe 2 "Snuglet" also to prevent accidental disconnect.

It looks like the Thunderbolt displays require an Apple VESA adapter plate available here:http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD179ZM/A/vesa-mount-adapter-kit-for-imac-andled-cinemaor-applethunderbolt-display

They do not appear to be the same thing although they have the same plug. Here's is what Apple has to say: 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. This is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219#1

this cable is a "Thunderbolt" to "Display" I don't know if your monitor has a "Display" input. You would have to see what type of input the monitor has.

Well i use Thunderbolt to Display port with my MacBookPro late 2013 i have no problem with this product go for it! Plus you can E-mail CalDigit and ask them! i

Yes. Thunderbolt is backward compatible with DisplayPort. I'm using this very same cable to connect my Macbook Pro Retina to a Dell monitor without any problem whatsoever.

Unless you have a thunderbolt splitter which to my knowledge doesn't exist, the answer is no. However, check out the latest Belkin mac doc which does as it has two thunderbolt ports.

No it does not, this will only accomplish Mini DisplayPort tasks. This will not transfer data via thunderbolt or work with anything that requires thunderbolt and is not compatible with Mini DisplayPort. While I generally do not buy Apple cables, as they are usually overpriced with alternatives available that work just as well at a fraction of the cost- a 6ft/2m Thunderbolt cable does not seem to be made any cheaper from a, reliable third party competitor, Kanex and Monoprice does not currently seem to manufacture Thunderbolt cables. http://www.amazon.com/Kanex-TBOLT2M-2-Meter-Thunderbolt-Cable/dp/B00865YE4O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-5&keywords=thunderbolt+cable So I would suggest in this particular scenario simply purchasing Apple's version http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD861ZM-Thunderbolt-Cable-VERSION/dp/B00B3Y4FAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-1&keywords=thunderbolt+cable or if the length doesn't matter, the .5M cable (which is actually cheaper if you buy from Apple vs. Kanex.) http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MD862ZM-Thunderbolt-Cable-VERSION/dp/B00B3Y4U4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396475999&sr=8-2&keywords=thunderbolt+cable

It's been awile since I have used a displayport adapter, but from my previous experience the cables, being short yet also having to bend a lot makes them tend to give out. With that said I would go with the BlueRigger since their cables seem to be very well made in general. Also, with some third party displayport adapters, the end that plugs into your Mac is sometimes oversized which can interfere with surrounding ports (admittedly I don't know what the back of a Mac Mini looks like). The BlueRigger looks like it would fit without interfering with any surrounding ports. I would take it over an official Apple adapter: http://www.amazon.com/BlueRigger-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Female-Adapter/dp/B007KB0EGC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1380670081&sr=8-8&keywords=displayport+dvi

Check to make sure your iMac "Thunderbolt Port" is actually that. Your problem may be that the port is actually a display port and not a Thunderbolt. They are shaped exactly the same.

Yes, you'll just need one of these: C&E CNE11274 Mini DisplayPort to DVI Female Adapter Cable for MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air and Mac miniI use this same set-up on my mac mini, works great.

This monitor has BOTH VGA and DVI, and I am currently running it on a Mac Mini via DVI. If your iMac supports an additional DVI out I can't see why it wouldn't work.
2037760
Yes, it will. However, depending on the year of your MBP, you will probably need an adapter. If you have a Macbook Pro that is from 2009-2013, you will need a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter to connect your MBP to this monitor using an HDMI cable.

This will work with the retina MacBook, however if you are looking to mirror the display onto the iMac our use it as a secondary display. It has to be a 27in mid 2010 iMac or newer to support that functionality
