From what the company is showing - yes it should, but I ordered this and it is not the cable they advertise and the company won't respond or credit. DO NOT BUY from this company.

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.

Well it is IF your iMac has a THUNDERBOLT port-then yes. Older Macs may not have this port as it's a newer development. I have a MacBook Pro- new. This SINGLE cable allow you to stream (audio and video) 1080p directly into your flatscreen via HDMI. Works great- if you have Thunderbolt. If not then I don't know what to tell you.

I don't think so. This is for converting an HDMI output signal to VGA and 2 channel audio input signals. We use it to display our Apple TV to older projectors and monitors.

It has video inputs for VGA, Digital, and Display port, so if you have native options on the mac book for these, then yes it will work. Otherwise you will need some adapter.

I have a mid 2011 iMac with a display port and use the cable to connect a Samsung TV. Audio works just fine.

This device has a DVI digital monitor cable (white with lots of pins). I purchased a converter for $30 so it could plug into the micro DisplayPort jack in my laptop. If your IMac as a DisplayPort jack (most recent Macs do) then you will need to purchase the converter.

It will, however it will only allow you to use your Mac Screen and one other monitor.

What you are describing is Target Display Mode, where one Mac can be used as a display for another. That is not possible with this adapter, as it required a thunderbolt or mini-display port cable on both ends to transmit the data. If the non-Apple notebook is fully display port compliant, then it may be possible to use the iMac as a monitor. More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3924

The answer is yes! I bought mine to do the same thing on my Imac, worked great!

This will work with any device that has an HDMI port. If your Mac doesn't have an HDMI, it won't work.

Yes as long as your Mac has a thunderbolt or mini display port builtin. This is a great option because it is an "active" convertor and will work with 4k HDMI displays making it very future proof.

It will not, you have to check what the input your TV uses. HD TVs mostly use HD15 (monitor) or HDMI or DVI in that order, the other end need to be either mini-DVI or what ever the "new" Mac is using, check you Mac and TV before buying. If you don't have specs for them you can find them online. Lastly the HD15 and DV only support pic not sound, you have to use a second cable for sound, I know this is a lot of info, but this stuff has not been standardized. The instruction book for the TV will have all of this. Good Luck!

It should work. Simply launch your older iMac in target display mode while it is connected with this cable. I did this with my Laptop and the same year iMac before purchasing a thunderbolt display.

Yes it will. I recently bought a mac mini and ran into the same problem of how to hook up to a vga monitor. This works perfectly and you should have no problem with it!

Yes, I believe so - the desktop I used mine on is an iMac 2010 model - the connection is the same as the MacBook pro of the same year. I've found some older HDMI connections need the source to be restarted to see the connection - but no problems here.

I'm not clear on how or with what you want to connect.. I can tell you I bought this item to connect my Apple TV 2 to my projector and it works great even with airplay...
