How do I connect my MacBook Pro to a monitor or tv via a Thunderbolt to hdmi cable?

I have an early 2011 model MacBook Pro 15in. I purchased this cord to use the Macbook with my tv and my monitor. I've tried the detect display option, I've also tried different hdmi ports on my tv but it won't display for whatever reason.

This is one available at the Apple store:

Read over you TV users manual.  There may be some setting you have to perform at that end.
Ciao.

    Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
    If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
    and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
    Good luck Derek

  • How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

    How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?  I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv.  I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV.  The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
    Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly? 

    For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
    With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

    how do I connect my macbook pro to my tv?

    You can also go with something like this:
    Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter w/Audio Support
    You'll need the hdmi cable to connect the adapter to your tv.
    Not all MBP's support audio over the minidisplay port. 
    These computers supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort:

    how do i connect my macbook pro to a tv

    Well, since you gave absolutely no information on which model of MBP or which model of TV, it's pretty much impossible to help. No one here can guess what kind of equipment you have, so a lot more information would be needed. You need to look at  your TV manual to find out what kind of port it has and then check on your MBP to see what is needed. This article will help once you figure out the cables/connections:

    And, for future reference, your question is about an MBP but you posted in the iMac forum.....

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have the cable, just connect it to both and the desktop will show up on the external display. Then, you can select different modes, changing arrangement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, or using shortcuts > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019
