You're using an 'extended desktop'. Drag what you'd like to view upwards (the default setting) to your tv.

I just purchased the mini dvi to dvi adapter and also an hdmi to dvi cable. I also have the audio cables. When I hooked everything up, I could hear the audio and see my desktop only. How can I view something other than my desktop. CAn you help?

did this the other day. yes, i used a mini-dvi to hdmi... note that sound does go through a dvi, so you'll need a separate cable for the sound... either a mini tos to tos or standard 3.5m to audio depending on your lcd. i liked monoprice for cables. keep in mind that in settings you can either choose for it to be an extended screen or a mirror.

I just purchased a VGA cable and connected it to my MacBook via a mini dvi adapter. But my Samsung LCD TV says "not supported mode." What now?

No. The input connector is HDMI. Are you trying to project MacBook to Apple TV then to projector? There is no need for cable to MacBook. Use mirroring ability of Mac OS. Apple TV will appear as option for monitor. I have used this option to have my HDMI TV as a Mac monitor. One way to get a BIG picture, though quality is limited by TV resolution.

If the Macbook Pro requires a special input/output connector then yes. If your Macbook Pro has a standard HDMI out then the only thing you will need is an HDMI type C adapter. There are 3 or 4 ends for an HDMI cable. The most common is type A which is the plug that goes to your TV, DVD player, etc. Then there is the one that connects to small devices like cell phones and that is HDMI type D. Then there is an in between connector called HDMI type C. To use an HDMI cable on this projector you will need an adapter from type A to type C. It's only a few bucks here on Amazon. So look for HDMI A to C adapter. Or you can buy an HDMI A to C cable which eliminates the need for an adapter.

Here is the adapter to make it work with the Mac Mini, via USB (DisplayLink DL-165 Chip) or you can do a VGA to DVI or VGA to HDMI, there is so many adapters to make this monitor work with anything and everything.

You could, but you would need a mini-DVI to DVI adapter. They cost $19.00 at the online apple store. The connection on the MacBook is mini-DVI and the display requires a DVI connection. Easy fix.

Yes, you'll just need one of these: C&E CNE11274 Mini DisplayPort to DVI Female Adapter Cable for MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook Air and Mac miniI use this same set-up on my mac mini, works great.

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

Any hdmi cable will work but you need an adapter for your mac depending on the model you have. Might be a display port to hdmi adapter or a mini display port to hdmi.

If you want to plug a DVI Monitor into a MiniDisplayport/Thunderbolt, you could just use the Apple Mini-Displayport to DVI Connector.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter?fnode=51

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: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CAGDUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It depends on which model you have. Check with everymac.com to find specs about your video card and if it can handle duel or mirroring. The lower end macbooks use shared RAM as VRAM... I don't believe those can handle powering an external LCD, but check that site it should have info.

Dear customer, Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger Premium Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adaptor Cable. This adapter is fully compatible with the MacBook Pro. You may need to configure the output audio device by going to System Preferences &gt; Sound &gt; Output, then select HDMI and you should now hear the audio through the TV. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

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.

The Mac mini has what is called a mini display port and a HDMI port. This means you have lots of options for connecting a monitor as it does not come with one. Most monitors use VGA or DVI and with an adapter that will work just fine. In my case, I actually use my television as my screen so I use an HDMI cable. It's great for me because it is the only cable of the three which transmits video and audio.

yeah, but you'll need an adapter and a damn DVI cable since it's not included with the monitor. Adapter I bought for my Macbook pro was only about $15.

We connect a MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port (same as on the MacBook Air) to an old tv via RCA cables using ViewHD's Mini DisplayPort to TV video Converter. We had to change the display settings in System Prefs on the Mac but it works great and we're happy with the results.

As it happens, Janice... ...My Amazon review of this TV happens to be titled "A Great Computer Display (That's Also A Top TV)" (!) ...BUT... ...That usage is absolutely dependent on it being correctly cabled from the computer in question. The easiest and best connection is via HDMI, as on the latest Macs. Failing that, the display outputs of older systems will require external converter "active dongles" from those display ports to HDMI or (less conveniently) to the 3 RCA sockets of the "Component AV In" sockets on the TV's back panel. Either option will result in a good quality graphics display, with the HDMI inputs being by far the better option as they truly yield "state of the art" resolution.
