I am not sure how to get this projector to work with my MacBook Pro or iPad 2. 3M has stated that they have discontinued this product and cables-help

3M called today admitting they have no cables to connect the MP220 projector to a computer for screen output. I had ordered the cable from their website as an accessory for the MP220, but they sent the cable for the MP410 (they say they will make a refund). Amazon sells various cables that fit various 3M projectors, but compatibility is ambiguously described. According to the 3M Europe website, the correct VGA cable is: 3M ID 78697200307

Don't get. You have to transfer the files to the projector and then open it. It's not like a projetor that we know that transfer the monitor's image to the wall!

We just ran an HDMI cable. Provides both video and audio to the projector (the internal speaker is adequate for small to medium sized rooms). If you're using a Mac, I believe you can purchase an adapter that will let it plug into the HDMI cable. VGA is always an option and will adapt to the Mac as well, but you will need external speakers for audio amplification.

The Fosmon mini displayPort (MiniDP/mDp) to HDMI works well. The problem I had at first with my MacBook Pro wasthat I did not have my display option set to "Mirror" the computer's screen. Now I watch movies etc. on my HDTV.

I have used mine with my iPad, all I needed to have was the dock connector to VGA adaptor. I have never gotten the apple HDMI addaptor to work with the projector or my television so I might have a bad adaptor.

It's very simple, you just plug the display port end into the display port input in your macbook and then connect the other end into one of your HDMI ports on your TV. If you have multiple HDMI ports on your TV, you may need to try a few of them. Mine didn't work on HDMI 2 or 3, but it did work on my HDMI 1 port. Good luck, hope this helped!

This only has composite in and r/w audio. So depending on what outs your MacBook has you'd probably need a hdmi or vga out to composite video and possibly a headphone to R/W audio splitter. At radio shack your probably looking at spending 20-40$ depending on lengths for those adapters. You'd really be better off spending that extra money on a projector that's a real projector. This is a child's toy with a life span of likely &lt; 3 months. Mine lasted about 5 minutes.

Cable is discontinued by 3M. I called 3M and they told me they are getting out of the projector business. I returned my projector for credit.

Please check past answers. The cables are no longer available from 3M (I called 3M directly), and I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Their response was to buy the most recent mobile projector.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Yes, the Apple Cinema Display is designed to work with the MacBook Pro. I have the late 2012, but I had the 2010 also. The Display not only works with the MacBook Pro, it provides power and a hub with usb, thunder bold, firewire, and either net all with a single cable.

You might have to download an app that allows you to connect it to a monitor. As long as you can find the app, you can probably use this projector.

I don't know the problem that you are referring to but I use the presenter with my Ipad 2 with the new version of Keynote. I connect the iPad to both my Epson projector and overhead projectors without problem (thus far).

I have it, I bought it because I remember reading something about it working with a mac but i tried it today and it doesn't work and i have a new macbook pro. i tried to copy an old vhs tape and the mac didn't recognize it and either did imovie or roxio.

No you would need an adaptor. Type "Apple MD825ZM/A Lightning to VGA Adapter" into amazon. That is the one you need. This projector is amazing!!!

I am sorry, I haven't checked my email in awhile. This connects the ipad 2 into the cord that connects to the projector. Most projectors come with a cord to hook it to the computer and that is what it connects to.

I attach an Apple Digital AV Adapter (MC953ZM/A) to the iPad, which is also available from Amazon, then attached ethernet cable and attached the other end of the ethernet cable to the HDMI port of the projector. Once you turn the projector on (silver button on top above lens; also don't forget to remove the lens cover), you should be able to project items displayed on a wall or a projector screen.
