You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=2914&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=2914&gclid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg. Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

If you have a USB and Thunderbolt connection on your Mac then you need to get an adapter that converts the DVI/VGA to Thunderbolt and you're good to go

I'm sure it works with my MacBook white body late 2007 running Mac OS X Lion. Unfortunately I don't have any Mac Book Pro.

I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it works fine between my MBP and my Yamakasi 2560 x 1440 monitor with Display Port input. I haven't personally tried it with a MacPro, but I don't see why it would not work since we're dealing with the same port standards. Perhaps you can give it a try. If it doesn't work you can return it.

No. IT doesn't Work good. Neither with a Modern mac book pro. Year 2012. I had to take IT of my laptop.

I am paired with a MacBook Air. I tried pairing them with my Pro, and this seems to be an issue. I would ask the company for advice on this. The Apple forums don't seem to have an answer.

I really can't say because I have yet to get it to work with my Macbook Pro I am trying to return the item but the manufacture or amazon is not responding to my request any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I do not have a Mac book pro, but I can tell you the device has not worked with my iPhone.

Yes, if your Mac book pro has blue tooth connectivity it should be able to. But wouldn't recommend using this speaker. It is very small and not clear sound

Yes it is working on my Mac book Pro. Just requires some tact about plug in.

There should be a 1 meter cable included in the box that has regular USB on one end. The USB end plugs into the MacBook. check to see that it's there. Below is a list of the box contents..."In the boxJAM0.5m cable for connection to iPad and iPhone1m cable for connection to MacQuick start guideVelcro strip"

Hi Arlene,Yes, I believe that you can use it for a Mac Book Pro. It has been working perfectly on a Mac Book Air 13 inch without any issues.Hope this helps!Loren

Tell me what you are trying to accomplish first. What equipment, OS and hardware you are using. I can connect just about any peripheral device to my Mac Book Pro 2009 computer, I had no issues with any hard drive except formatting and mounting the HD. All other issues are software issues, and driver issues, it's called handshaking when the peripheral devices talk together and work. This is the major problem. Mac's have fewer issues then PC window computers. Usually it is because the OS does not recognise the drivers and or software. Send me an email if i can help further PG

Yes it works great with my current Mac book pro and Mac Pro both new this year.

I'm not too sure, I only use it for a Mac Book Pro and it works fine for that. It might just be compatible with Mac products because of the size of the mini display port.

Hi Cleo, The neighbor dropped off their Mac Book Pro and yes it did work just fine. I don't use Mac's but I was able to see the little blue indicator on the adapter and open photos on the SD card inserted into the adapter just fine. Maybe that's testament as to how easy Mac's are to use? I couldn't figure out how to find the OS version however and my neighbor had gone out. If you absolutely need to know the OS version I'll find out for you. Let me know.Regards,Charlie

Steven, I removed the optical drive from my MacBook Pro and in its placed I installed a Hard Drive. I ordered this part to connect the removed optical drive and still use it with my laptop through a USB port. It works as though the optical drive is installed inside the Mac. All you need is this connection.
