Does this cable work to use an iMac as an external monitor to a Macbook? I want my macbook as the primary display and the iMac as a secondary monitor.

i do not believe the iMac will work in the way you are suggesting. you would need to get a secondary display and get a Display Port to DVI Converter and connect to a non-iMac monitor

Yes you can. Perhaps you've heard of Google?It is possible to find any answer to any question using Google rather than wasting people's time here.Answer: Yes. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14264?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US(found on Google)

Yes, this should work. The cable can work as either DisplayPort or Thunderbolt.

I actually think it might work. There is a way to make one Mac a "slave" to another. Sorry I can't remember the terminology. Sadly, I'm just hitting the road, so I can't research it for you. I suggest going to a Genius Bar, if you have one close enough or searching Apple's support pages. I'll help, but I can't get at it till SAT. I'll keep the link and check back when I have more time.

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

That is correct. Mine worked very nice to connect my Mac Book Air to an external monitor.

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.

I have. After a few months my Mac was not detecting my external display. I was able to unplug this adapter a few times and eventually it would detect the tv display. However after another month or so it stopped working all together. I ordered a replacement and it has been working so far, there are few options for early 2010 MacBooks.

I bought this cable for my MacBook and it works great. http://www.bixnet.com/cabms2.html

Peter, I have to agree with the answer provided to you by Cory Church. The cable has worked beautifully on our MacBook Pro. Using the cable is a LOT better than using a VGA cable with an Apple VGA "dongle" adapter.

This cable will connect a MacBook Pro (with Thunderbolt connectors) to a monitor with a DP++ (DisplayPort) connector. I use it on my MacBook Pro Retina 13" to an HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

It's very simple, you just plug the display port end into the display port input in your macbook and then connect the other end into one of your HDMI ports on your TV. If you have multiple HDMI ports on your TV, you may need to try a few of them. Mine didn't work on HDMI 2 or 3, but it did work on my HDMI 1 port. Good luck, hope this helped!

I can't speak specific to a Macbook Pro, but I am using it with a Windows laptop that has a miniport-HDMI cable and it works fine. I do realize that isn't a Mac, but just in case a Mac user doesn't speak up, thought I'd let you know a miniport-HDMI does work in at least some cases. Best of luck!

Well yes and know. It is a mini display port and USB extension cable. Many if not all of the Apple computers that have a Thunderbolt portfor the monitor output will work if you connect a mini-display port monitor. I know you can do this with a mac mini as I did it in the Apple store. You won't be able to daisy chain the thunderbolt to connect other devices. So in some circumstances I have seen people connect an external thunderboltdrive and then a mini-display port at the end of the chain and it works.

From what you are saying, yes. Thunderbolt cable will connect from the Thunderbolt port of your mac to the Thunderbolt port of your display.

I do not have this monitor connected to a Mac, but my desktop is connect to this monitor using the mini Display Port and it did not recognize my iPhone being plugged into one of the monitor's side USB ports until I ran a USB cable from my desktop to monitor's backplane.

Yes - you will just need a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable. If it is a recent MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port is the same size as a Mini-Displayport connector and is backwards compatible. When connected via DisplayPort, if you set your sound output on the MacBook Air to the monitor and set the Monitor sound input to DisplayPort then the DisplayPort cable will carry both the video and audio over the single cable. You would then just need to connect a USB cable from the MacBook Air to the monitor if you want to use the USB Hub. Note, however, that since this monitor is not a Thunderbolt monitor, you will not have Thunderbolt capabilities (such as daisy-chaining thunderbolt devices) - don't think you were looking to do that anyway, but something to be aware of if you were looking for that functionality.

The monitor uses DVI input, so you need a DVI cable that can connect to your Mac. I'm not familiar with connecting DVI to Mac, but see cables for that purpose on the web. My Crossover is attached to a Windows computer.
