do i need 2 adaptors, one for tv and one for my mac as the HDTV I have has the same size port as my mac..

If I understand your question, you should need only one adapter (for the Mac). With that you could simply use an HDMI cable, connecting one end to your TV and the other to your Mac adapter. Hope this helps.

If your mac is the latest generation is not necessary, as it comes with the HDMI port included. But if it is old if you must get an adapter so that it can connect to your HDTV.

I don't have a mac, so can't say. But if you have the HDMI cable for the mac it should be fine.

I don't know if this answers the question but it basically its a HDMI to thunderbolt cable. You plug the thunderbolt to your mac and the HDMI should be connected to your television.

Hi Kara,I too have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and an HDTV. This cable worked perfectly for me.

Oh, sorry :) I don't know specifics about the apple adapter, but it seems like sometimes you have to go to the settings and actively select audio out from your speaker menu on the mac. I have an HP with a dock so it is a little more confusing, but I have heard of people needing to go to the audio menu and toggling it on. Get a cheap one from amazon and try mesing ith the settings. If you are still under warranty, it might also help to talk to a genius. They might have some ideas that don't involve the iTV. I think straming from your mac would be faster.

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.

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.

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. :)

I'm not sure because my computer already had HDMI port and it work fine. By the way, this Splitter use to display to more monitors with 1 input source. I think you need to buy a HDMI switcher so you can connect your computer, your TV cable, and another source . HDMI switcher got only 1 output to 1 TV. I hope this will help.

Yes it will work but you will sacrifice quality. VGA is the old video standard. If you are using an HD Mac and want the picture to show up HD then you need to use the other port on the monitor which is a DVI port. So if you want HD then you must get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor. Hope this helps!

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.

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.

Works Great with my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air into the HDMI port on the TV. The current MacBook Pro has a HDMI port on the right side and I have used both Thunderbolt to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI alternately. This cable works and is good quality. I bought 3

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.

no this has HDMI on one side and VGA/Audio on the other. it is more for your tv, not your macbook.

Plug it into the tv first and make sure you're on the right hdmi setting.. Then plug it into the MacBook last. Sometimes it picks it up right away and sometimes I have to plug and unplug it a couple times. When it picks up the MacBook you'll have to open the movie app that you're trying to watch and click and drag as if the screen was addition to your laptop screen. It won't duplicate your monitor like a windows does. There's also a setting for mirror imagine in the status bar by where the clock is. Turn that off.

No, this is an adapter for Mac computers that don't have an HDMI port. They only have a port called Mini Display port and this attaches it to an HDMI port to make it compatible. If you have a PC, search for a USB to HDMI adapter or something of the sort
