Will this connect an HDMI source device to an Apple display that only accepts Mini DisplayPort? Will audio be lost?

It's one-way, meaning it can only convert Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI, not the other way around.

That's exactly what I was trying to do, and it won't work at all. No picture, let alone audio. Total bummer.

I don't know the tech behind it, but I believe it says somewhere on the product page that it's a one-way adapter, should I be remembering correctly.

Yes, as long as you have a mini dvi port (macbook 4,1 should have) You will also need the hdmi cable of course, and remember that this port does not transmit audio, so you will need a solution for audio as well (audio will still come from either macbook speakers, or from the headphone port)

No this is designed to work the opposite way. It is designed for a DVI input and an HDMI output. The HDMI is designed to be an output to the TV. Not an input from the Apple Tv.

I hooked a HP Pavilion laptop up to my HDTV (HDMI input) as well as a Mac Mini computer... So, if your computer has a VGA output and you are going in to HDMI, you will be fine. Again, the audio cord is kinda short, so I had to buy a cheap extender to make it reach my headphone jack... but that wasn't a deal breaker for me.

It might with a HDMI-to-MiniDisplayPort converter (with the appropriate type connections, F HDMI to M MiniDisplayPort.) But even then, there is no guarantee. We've had experiences where passive converter devices will not properly translate the signal, and working with Macs to non-Mac displays is the biggest culprit in these failures.

I don't think so. the mini iPad uses a Lightning cable for connection, which is different from the Thunderbolt miniDisplay Port. Try looking for a lightning-to-HDMI adapter/cable. You may need to purchase the lightning-to-apple 30-pin adaptor to bridge the connection though. Hope this helps.

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 use this adaptor to connect a projector to my Macbook Pro. I have not tried to connect a monitor. Call the Apple Store and ask them.

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. :)

And hdmi mode will only work with an hdmi output, does your Apple TV adapter not have an hdmi output?

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

No. The audio output option does not show up on a Macbook Pro. I tried multiple HDMI cables (including a high-speed cable) and every configuration possible, both mini displayports and the built-in HDMI. I tried all available screen resolutions in each port and none of them allowed the audio device to show up.

You can hook up a computer via a VGA Output the DB15F (VGA cable) or DVI Output DVI/RGB composite adapter. The unit I have has no USB or HDMI port, but their might be an adapter that could work for the Apple products.

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

What end does you apple cinena display have on it? If it has HDMI, DVI, or full size Display port then yes it moat certainly will ;) good luck!

Not sure. 2008 was when Apple went to Mini display port, I believe. At any rate, you can use a mini display port to HDMI cable, if that's the port you have. Mini display port is smaller.

I think the answer would be no! The iPad mini has a lightning connection, not a mini display port connection. There should be a way to get a lightning to hdmi adaptor though.If you have an Apple TV you can wirelessly display most video content through AirPlay. So another possibility.
