I think I had no choice but to order the FireWire online. I had to stack books to get the laptop close enough. Compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery. That’s how I’m certain that it definitely worked. This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. The only Thunderbolt cable I could buy was super short. Which sucked because I had multiple mini display cables/adapters lying around from porting my laptops to the TV but I had a tough time finding the other cables in my town. I just remember the mini display port didn’t work for TDM for me. I tried the MDP port w/my old 2009 MBP & the 2012 MBP. It just has two USB ports and a mini display port. So I bought a Thunderbolt cable and then a FireWire cable or vice versa. Is there anyway to connect a Macbook Air (11-Inch, Late 2010) to a Macbook Pro in target disk mode The Macbook Air does not support Thunderbolt and also does not have a FireWire port. While I was troubleshooting I tried the mini display port and tried TDM but it didn’t work. I was stuck in a nasty half boot to grey screen problem last November on my 2011 27” iMac. I don’t know if it’ll work with the Mini DisplayPort.
