Question about Apple Thunderbolt 3 zu

I wanted to use it to connect my new MacBook Air to an old Apple Thunderbolt Display (2013). Unfortunately, the connection didn't work. With my old MacBook Pro, it still worked perfectly via the Thunderbolt port and the old MacSafe port. The new MacBook now has the MacSafe 3 port and Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C). The fact that I can no longer supply the MacBook Air with power via the display is ok for me. But why doesn't it work with the Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C adapter? Does anyone have any ideas? Screen just stays black

Hi Simon, are you sure you have a Thunderbolt display? Does the connector have a lightning bolt symbol? There was also the Cinema Display with a screen symbol. Same plug. Fits into the Thunderbolt socket, but is a Mini DisplayPort plug. It does not work with the adapter. Although it fits. I have a Thunderbolt display and the adapter. However, I haven't used them together yet. I will catch up. I'm interested to see if it works (MacBook Pro, Apple Silicon). Best regards

Yes, the connector has a lightning bolt as a symbol. And when I go to the info about the old Macbook pro, it says that a Thunderbolt Display is connected. There is also a separate Thunderbolt port on the display. Now I have used the Thunderbolt port, which goes in a cable together with the Macsafe connector from the display. I could also try to connect a Thunderbolt2 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter with the Thunderbolt 2 to Usb C adapter and go to the MacBool Air that way. xD Could that help?
