I already have 2 external monitors for my Macbook pro. Would this work to connect a 3rd and would I need just 1 for the addition monitor or 3? Thks

Should work with the third monitor. You need one of these devices per USB slot per monitor.

It wouldn't be possible unless your monitors have Thunderbolt I/O and support daisy-chaining.The Thunderbolt dock has two thunderbolt ports, yet, you use one of them to connect your Macbook to the dock and the other port as your Thunderbolt I/O for connecting to other devices.

It'd dependent on the chipset in your laptop . Have the same problem with my MacBook pro. It will only support one external display at a time. You need one of the new retina mbps for dual external displays.

I don't use any Macs, so I can't answer your question. But the way I use these cables makes me think that the red cable is just there to provide power to the device that you are connecting to, on your case a printer. I'm not sure whether you can hook up two Macs into a printer just using this cable...

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

This specific adapter will allow you to add 2 monitors to any setup you currently have. All you need is a USB port available (preferably USB 3.0).

That's how I use this for, external monitor. Since there are two types of display port for Macbook Pro, make sure you buy the right one. My Macbook Pro was bought couple of years ago so it usese thunderbolt display port.

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

You can only connect one (1) monitor to the docking station via the mini display port, which supports a variety of monitor. For example, I had my Dell monitor connected to the mini display port using an Apple mini display port to DVI adapter. If you want to use two (2) monitors, then you would open up the MacBook Air while in the docking station. I hope this helps.

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports. You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB. So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

Connect one monitor to your Macbook Pro using a male HDMI-to-HDMI cable. Connect the other monitor using a thunderbolt-to-female HDMI adapter, then a male HDMI-to-HDMI cable. If you have an older Macbook Pro, the adapter will be a mini-DisplayPort-to-female HDMI adapter.

I have a Dell monitor connected to the docking station's Mini DisplayPort via port via a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I don't know that you can connect two monitors, but you can certainly use your MacBook's screen in conjunction with an external monitor. I hope this helps.

The dock only ultimately provides one thunderbolt connection. So with my early 2011 macpro I still had only ability to have one additional monitor but I don't have an HDMI connector. Not sure what the Air has. Ultimately I bought a new MacBook Pro with two thunderbolt displays and now have two external monitors and the laptop display. Love it and it gave me an opportunity to upgrade.

I used it with my new Mac Mini in combination with a new PC and it worked beautifully using 3 monitors. The problem for me was that my Pro Tools audio editing software didn't like it so I had to remove it. I was very disappointed. If you would like it, let me know what a fair price might be.

Your computer needs to be designed to run two monitors. My PC had a video card that stipulated that feature. Check out your MAC Book's features. My system has two HDMI plugs.

No - it will allow your macbook to extend the desktop onto one external monitor.To add a 2nd external monitor, you'd need a USB driven graphics device.

It looks like you can output 2 digital signals and 1 analog signal. For my case, I have 2 DisplayPorts and 1 VGA monitor working when hook up to the dock. When adding another DVI or HDMI monitor separately, it didn't come up at all. It might display a fourth monitor if you could get an adapter that converts USB to DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort.
