Cant connect MacBook Air 2020 to Apple Cinema Display Led 24''.
I have a "thunderbolt 3 (usb-c) to thunderbolt 2" adapter and does not show any image on the display. I know now that's not compatible.
Any solution to make it work?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
The display is Mini DisplayPort, not Thunderbolt.
About the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter - Apple Support
"This adapter is not compatible with displays that use DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort, such as the Apple LED Cinema Display. Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are not the same as Mini DisplayPort , though the ports have the same shape."
You need a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter, such as:

This adapter has an extra USB-C port (for charging only).
You will also need a USB-C to USB-A adapter for the display's USB cable.

You can charge from the display's MagSafe plug with this adapter

Plug it into the charging port on the Uptab adapter.

Thank you.
I ordered the USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter and i already have the USB-C to USB-A.
The USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter only transmits video right? does not transmit sound.... for sound i need the USB-C to USB-A.
