Now, I'm very new to Mac so a lot of you Apple lovers probably know this already, but for Mac newbies (myself included), you need to go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and choose DISPLAY, APPEARANCE and click on MIRROR DISPLAY to get the video on your TV. And to get the sound from your Mac to your TV go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and choose SOUND, OUTPUT and click on BUILT-IN HDMI OUTPUT and that should do the trick. Hope that helps folks out there.

Yes it will. Your setting will have to be changed so your display is either "duplicated" on the external screen or "extended" - whichever you prefer. The issue with MacBooks though is that before about 2010, the HDMI port does not transfer sound in addition to video through the cable - you would have to connect an audio in cable from your computer's headphone jack to the television digital audio in as well. Research some Apple forums on the specifics for your model.

Yes, your TV screen will display what is showing on your MacBook Pro. Depending on your tv and computer's resolution, you will need to make some adjustments with your TV remote to fit it perfectly. The sound will be projected from your MacBook Pro.

I have a MacBook Pro and it's great if you need to stream from your computer to a tv. Your tv has to have the HDMI outlet. I will say I use this only when showing iTunes content or things from my computer that cannot be streamed via Chromecast.

No, this is Mac mini display port, a proprietary audio/visual out for newer MacBook Pro models to hdmi.

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.

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!

The monitor uses DVI input, so you need a DVI cable that can connect to your Mac. I'm not familiar with connecting DVI to Mac, but see cables for that purpose on the web. My Crossover is attached to a Windows computer.

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

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.

Mine came with a VGA cable. If your MAC has VGA connector, it will hook up to it directly.

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

It should do as the Macbook Pro has a spare Mini display port adapter not locked in to the docking station but it is defeating the purpose of a Docking station. It has an HDMI adapter on the back of the docking station which you should leave plugged in to your monitor. I guess if you only have DVI or VGA you would do this....

Yes, it's pretty easy, and self-explanatory. There are two very different and distinct ends on this cable. The bigger (kinda squished) end is called the HDMI, and will go on your TV. Your TV hopefully will have at least one port that will say HDMI, and that's where you plug that end of the cable (if your TV is more than 10 years old, maybe it won't, but probably it will). The other end of the cable will go on your Mac. Again, hopefully your computer will have the "mini displayPort" port (you would have to check your computer's specifications for that). Take a look at your computer, and see if there is anything that would probably match the end of the cable. If you look closely, the right port would have a simple sign next to it, looking like a screen with two vertical bars next to it (something like this: IOI ) you plug the cable there, and you are good to go. If you have the right equipment and you got the right cable, that should do it. Sorry I can't be more specific than this, but there can be so many variables, and things change quite frequently, so we cannot really be sure what ports your TV and computer really have. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

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.

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. If you need detailed video instructions youtube is where I got all my questions answered. Macs are annoying when it comes to hdmi crap ill give you that

I selected this device according to the types of connectors available on the analogue TV and my PC. I do not know what connectors the MacBook Pro has. I use the video output from the device that uses a yellow RCA type cable to connect it to the analogue TV. I then use a L/R (red/white) cable to connect the device to the analogue TV to get the sound. On the PC side for connections, the PC has a VGA output port that connects to the device. I use a separate cable to connect the headphone connector to the device to get the sound to the TV. Hope this helps

As it happens, Janice... ...My Amazon review of this TV happens to be titled "A Great Computer Display (That's Also A Top TV)" (!)...BUT......That usage is absolutely dependent on it being correctly cabled from the computer in question.The easiest and best connection is via HDMI, as on the latest Macs.Failing that, the display outputs of older systems will require external converter "active dongles" from those display ports to HDMI or (less conveniently) to the 3 RCA sockets of the "Component AV In" sockets on the TV's back panel.Either option will result in a good quality graphics display, with the HDMI inputs being by far the better option as they truly yield "state of the art" resolution.

Depends on what Mac you have. Macbook Pros have an HDMI port so this adapter will work with it, however Macbook Airs do not so you'd have to get a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter first. At that point it might be better to find a Thunderbolt-to-VGA adapter instead.
