This box is not working mirroring my MacBook Pro (HDMI to MacBook converter) on television screens - do I need to change some settings?

Nope. You need macTv. To my understanding it is your Mac not allowing the data to flow through properly. I may be wrong, but I have tried to play my mac on all if my TVs by setting up as an external monitor and it has never worked. Work around would be to create a 3rd party video, store it in the cloud and have your tv access that cloud service and watch from there. More hassle than its worth.

Hey Kim. Yes you can. What you need is an adaptor which apple sells on line. It should have hdmi on one end and whatever the display port is for your macbook on the other. I've also done this with this projector with my iphone and ipad to watch movies with an adaptor that has the multi pin apple ios port on one side and hdmi on the other. The projector has worked well for me, just make sure that the short throw distance of this model is appropriate for your space- the screen is huge at longer distances.

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. :)

As far as I know, mini displayPort and Thunderbolt are one way, that is they send video out from the MacBook Pro. They are not inputs. Most common way of importing video is via the firewire connection on the Macbook. They sell similar looking devices like this one that take rca inputs and convert them to firewire outputs.

I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro and it required going into the preferences and editing the video and sound outputs. But before doingvthe above, make sure you push the HDMI cable all the way into the port by pushing the wire connecting to the HDMI doggle in. Please refer to my review. I hope this helps.

No, this is Mac mini display port, a proprietary audio/visual out for newer MacBook Pro models to hdmi.

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.

I have tried it with a DP to HDMI converter on a Lenovo laptop and Dell laptop and it worked on both. It should work with the Mac as well.

You should. Plug in the HDTV, boot the MacBook, then close the lid and it should push the display to the external connected display, which is your HDTV.

You would need an Apple TV and Airplay or similar device connected to the TV to connect a Mac to your TV ( I have a Mac mini and Apple TV connected this way). This device does not output an HDMI signal.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.

The macbook pro has no hdmi port but I tested using my notebook HP dm4t-3000. Its a 14" notebook with these specs: i7 dual-core 2.8ghz, 8gb memory, dual graphics of HD3000 and ATI Radeon HD 7470, Windows 7. Using the HDMI port and switched to 7470 discrete card, it can only show up to 1920x1080p. Tested with 3 types of hdmi cables that I have and not sure if its HDMI v1.3 or v1.4 but all hdmi cables shows up to 1080p max resolution only.

It only works on Apple TV, besides you can probably find a more cost effective price on the actual HDMI adapter for the MacBook.

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.

If I understand HDMI correctly, you need to set the source unit to HDMI. I had the same problem with my denon DVD player on my BRAVIA, then I switched the source to HDMI. This might be different for mac/pc ... the apple knowledge base is definately helpful.
