I'm not a mac user, but I will guess. If your mac have the right port there not will be any problem. This cable don't have software is just a piece of hardware without any more objetive that connect two ports.I hope this will help you, and sorry about the delay in answering your question.

you'll need (either an Apple or from someone else), a "mini-DisplayPort (Male) to DisplayPort (Female)" adapter.

Yes. But depending on the mac you may need a thunderbolt connector. This has vga and hdmi so if your mac had dvi you would also need dvi to hdmi connector.

You will need a mini displayport to DVI adapter/cable. Both adapters (where you would need to buy the adapter + a DVI cable) are available as well as full length cables that are mini displayport on one end and DVI on the other. Just search Amazon for "mini displayport to DVI" to see various options.

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

the PC I'm using has DVI and HDMI outputs but, I only used DVI. It still is a digital signal. I will have to try HDMI out with a converter. I also used mini display port out of a macbook pro both vga and DVI.

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

I don't have much experience with Mac products, but i did find this link for you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067174?tstart=0 If you get a DVI converter, make sure it supports Dual Link DVI, as it will not work otherwise.

Some of the cables are Passive. You will not be able to use the monitor on a Mac with a Passive cable. Fortunately for me, the one I bought was Active and worked the first time. Scroll down on this link to find the item named "Mini DisplayPort Male to DisplayPort DP Male Cable-6ft" http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DisplayPort-Male-to-DisplayPort-DP-Male-Cable-6ft-/181173940008?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 This is probably the same cable on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt/dp/B004CAGDUA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376528786&sr=8-2&keywords=Mini+DisplayPort+Male+to+DisplayPort+DP+Male+Cable-6ft+Cable+Matters

It probably has more to do with converter than monitor itself. Sometimes some dvi-htmi converters can only connect one direction, but not the other; others can do both. Unfortunately, very often product description does not clearly specify. For my MacBook Pro (not Air), I use thunderbolt to DVI-D connector and it works fine. I do not think Pro or Air makes difference.

The monitor comes with ports and cables for HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA which will all connect to a MacBook (depending on the year it was created). You will need a Mini DisplayPort adapter for some of them. I'm using HDMI on an early 2013 15-inch Retina MacBook.The monitor also has a color preset feature that allows you to use your MacBook color profile instead of one of the monitor's built-in color profiles.

This monitor has DVI-D (dual link), two HDMI, and a DisplayPort™ (1.2) port to connect to, here are the specifications for what video connections you MacBook Pro Retina (15") supports: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/. I would recommend using the Display Port 1.2 connection for best quality.

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

Am using w a new Mac Pro, but requires an ACTIVE connector ($100). Assuming similar set up would work for laptop.

You'll need to buy a 8.5in Mac-Compatible Mini DisplayPort 1.1 Male to DVI-D Female Adapter Cable.

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.

Mine came with the power cord but not with the VGA cable. I own a Macbook Pro, so, the video cable I use is a Thunderbolt Port Compatible to DVI Cable. Do not use VGA, instead get a HDMI cable converter or, if you have a Macbook Pro, then the one mentioned.Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DVI Cable in White 6 Feet
