Trying to connect 2011 MacBook Pro; no luck; what's wrong? Set up: computer to Mini-display/DVI adapter to DVI-DVI to monitor. Nothing.

I use window base which we must set it to recognize 2 monitors. I think it may be the similar. You may want to search on how to set macbook to recognize the extra monitor.

I would think that would work. I personally use the "Thunderbolt" to DVI or VGA.

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.

&lt;http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html&gt; Go read this good article. Turns out Apple caused some confusion (but in a good way as far as functionality) by making the newer Thunderbolt port the exact same physical connection type as the older Mini Display port. But here is the good news, for newer Macs for which this port is advertised as Thunderbolt, the port is "backwards compatible" as a Mini Display port. It is also useable as strictly a Thunderbolt port. So yes, this cable will work for hooking up your Mac Mini 2012 to a HDMI TV via the Thunderbolt port. Thank God Apple did this. Especially since the 2012 Mac Mini uses the Intel 4000 GPU which has a flaw that manifests itself in the Mini's HDMI output. This cable provides a nice workaround until Intel/Apple issue new drivers to fix this problem (which has been publicly acknowledged by Intel/Apple). Enjoy!!!

I've looked on the Apple site, and it appears to me that Apple only offers a small version of the cable. In my experience its generally used as an adapter. There is long mini to DVI adapter, but not a mini to VGA on the Apple site, but not with the best reviews. Good luck!

you need a mini DVI to VGA adaptor for macbook. its usually less than 10 dollars. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Veecome-Adapter-Cable-Macbook-Round-head/dp/B008FMBLVM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1384209024&sr;=8-1&keywords;=vga+for+macbook

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.

There is a dongle that plugs in mini-hdmi. Not sure if that works but you need something of that sort. C&E Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro

I have a macbook pro computer with minidisplayport on computer and use cable to attach to any hdmi tv with no problems. Make sure in preferences you select to turn audio on because it also comes out of the cable. :)

Believe that is exactly what you need. Mine is about a year older. Try to zoom in on the smaller end if the cable and compare it to the external monitor port on the MacBook.

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

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.

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.

I made sure that everything was plugged in and I turned off my matchbook air and still nothing. My tv shows HDMI/DVI but it doesn't connect to the macbook. Not sure what else to do any ideas?

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?

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

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!
