I've had problems--a lot of problems--connecting my Macbook Air with Apple's VGA cable for the Air. Is this one better?

I ended up using a HDMI cable to hook up my tv to my Roku. Sometimes it's a cable that's been bent one too many times. If you can test both cables individually that might help. Make sure the ports are clean, try other ports if possible. . The answer will probably be found on the Apple site. Try the Apple Support Communities at https://discussions.apple.com/welcome

We have used this about once a week for the past year without any issues with a Mac Air.

I don't know why it didn't work for your application. I think you should consider the fact that at least 1/6 of the purchasers had trouble with this cable. With that in mind, even though it worked for me I can't really recommend this cable for your application.Good luck finding a different cable.v

If the Mac Air has a mini display port on it, then it should. The manual for the Mac Air should also detail how the hook up is done to a VGA device and activated, which is pretty standard for Mac's. 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

Yes, I have been using it since December 12 and the connection with my MacBook Air has no problem at all. In my case, I connect it via USB and uploaded all the files to iPhoto. Sometimes when I cannot find the USB cable, I just insert the SD card into the SD card slot in my MacBook Air and let iphoto does the job.

Apple system profile.However, I have the latest and it's still pretty unreliable. :(That said, it's impossible to say it's the adaptor for sure. Maybe it's my monitor. :)I hope yours is more reliable than mine!

It looks like all you would need is an adapter cable from the Macbook Pro mini displayport to VGA, which costs about $30 from the Apples Store or about $10 on Amazon. The reviews look generally positive.

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!

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

No. This adapter only adapts HDMI video signals to VGA. The Macbook Air does not have an HDMI output. It has either a mini-DVI (for only the 2007 first generation Macbook Air models) or a display port connection (more common). If you have a Macbook Air with the display port or "Thunderbolt" connector, you should purchase a display port to VGA adapter if you want to use the VGA input on your Dell monitor. The VGA input has three rows of pins and two screw posts on either side. The VGA cable likely has blue connectors on each end.

Now the thing is, it doesn't support a VGA plug. Apple no longer supports that kind of adapter. Only DVI or HDMI. You can get a gadget that converts HDMI to RCA, but the reception is crappy. You may have to upgrade your flat panel... But if you have HDMI outlets on your TV or DVI, you're in luck.

We have ours hooked up to a Mac, and have had no problems at all. Very pleased!

I have tested this in Bootcamp with a 2013 MacBook Air, and it worked for me. I installed the Windows drivers from CalDigit.I leave the lid closed (clamshell mode) when the Air is connected to the dock, and I have a monitor connected to the HDMI port. I use the gigabit Ethernet port, and one of the USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. This setup works for me in Bootcamp with Windows 7. I didn't try hot-plugging the dock in Windows 7. Given what I've read about the Apple Thunderbolt Display, I don't think it work work in Windows, but I haven't tested it.

It comes with VGA, but I had to buy a cable/plug from Apple to plug into my MacBook.

i use it to connect my MacBook Air to a Dell Ultrasharp U2412m monitor with 1920x1200 resolution - works perfect!

Peter, I have to agree with the answer provided to you by Cory Church. The cable has worked beautifully on our MacBook Pro. Using the cable is a LOT better than using a VGA cable with an Apple VGA "dongle" adapter.

This item did not work on my Macbook Air. I had the same issue. I sent it back. Still trying to figure it out. I have to take a trip to the apple store...THere is No MIRRORING option.
