I have latest MBP with Retina 13". The 3 cables that came with this monitor doesn't seem working for me. I tried many combinations to connect them.

1. Verify that you have have correctly set the input source in the on screen display for the cable/input you are trying at the time . This monitor does NOT automatically switch to the active source. 2. Disable DisplayPort 1.2 mode in the monitor. There seems to be a problem with this mode when connected to Macs, not clear where the problem is, but likely an issue in 10.9.2. 3. Verify that the Mac "sees" the monitor in the "about this Mac" Display panel 4. The best option for you is the miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable, as that does not require any additional components, so concentrate on that cable/mode, set the monitor to DisplayPort input (not miniDisplayPort!) and make sure the cables are fully seated. Without more information on what you see on the monitor and mac when you try, it is difficult to guess what your problem is.

You should be able to connect the display's DisplayPort (DP) input to one of the Thunderbolt outputs on your MBP. Thunderbolt is compatible with mini-DisplayPort (mDP). I believe the display comes with a mDP to DP cable.

I am sorry to say I can't answer it because he cable in question did not work. There seems to be issues on forums with this being a common problem between Mac / VGA. I only had luck with a direct hdmi to hdmi connection.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Greetings. Currently this power bank can't work with MacBook Pro Retina Display. An extra connector will be needed. Thank you.

you would need an hdmi cable if you have the newer macbook pro's with an hdmi input. Otherwise you do need a thunderbolt adapter for vga.

First of all, I'm NOT sure that I have the answer for you, but here goes. Is your cable any good? How are the connections, either on the cable OR on the computer or the hard drive? Give Apple, or Western Digital a buzz. They're usually pretty helpful.

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

i believe the macbook pro has a mini displayport connector....this one is a standard size displayport connector so it will not work

If your MacBook Pro has a mini displayport connection, than all you might need is a mini displayport to vga adapter. The cablein question won't help you.

I couldn't get mine to connect either. I purchased the HDMI adapter and it worked fine. I can only assume that the cable has a problem. Too bad because I really wanted the longer cable.

Are you using the cable that came with the monitor? I had some issues getting mine setup, but it was related to the cable I was using. You may want to try using a different cable rated for the high resolution that the monitor offers.

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.

In fact I ordered 3 of them and am suposed to hook them up to 3 mac minis but when I tried to do that I had the same problem. The solution is to use HDMI cord. It is supposed to be for videos but that will work. I am travelling and still have not hooked up mine. Best of luck

I myself own a late 2009 model and it doesn't work on my MBP. I tried all the options available in my Monitor as well as Display Preference in Mac but it won't just recognize the Monitor. I suggest you buy the Mini Display to VGA (female) converter and then use a regular VGA cable to connect to your monitor. I have set up my MBP like that I am happy with the performance so far.

You'll need a DVI adapter to connect your monitor to MB. I used DVI cable that I already had from PC that connected my 22" monitor. Went to Best Buy and bought Apple DVI adapter to go to port on MB. Apple rep at Best Buy can direct you to correct cable.

It was working. I'm not sure why it isn't now. Perhaps it is an iOS 7.1 issue. I assumed something was wrong with my monitor. I'll post an update if it works on another monitor.

I have a macbook pro 15in mid-2010. This cable is working with my dell 2713hm monitor but I don't know what kind of a monitor you have... If your monitor has a DVI channel because that is not a HDMI cable, It might work. and if you can't get a full resolution. You should check out this site http://embdev.net/topic/284710#new. Hopefully my answer is good enough for your question.
