What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP.  That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port.  The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.
Ciao.

    What cable do I need to connect my macbook pro to my television(hdmi)?    

    If your Macbook has a Mini Display port and you want to connect it to an HDMI input on your TV you can use the Apple adapter available here;

  • What cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

    what cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

    hi Sam
    It's actally an HDMI adapter that Apple sells.
    You hook the small adapter up to your MBP and then HDMI cable to your TV. Please note adapter is for HDMI compliant for HDMI rev 1.3 and above:
    My TV, which has DVI port also, besides HDMI gets its best resolution by DVI of which also sell at Apple store for the MBP.
    Bottom line is check w/ your TV manufacture to be sure your flat screen supports 1920 X 1200.
    Let 'er rip and...
    cheers

  • What cable do i need to connect a Macbook pro to a Cinema HD Screen in order see my laptop screen larger?

    I want to connect my Macbook Pro up to a cinema HD screen so that i can use a larger screen for editing photos. I am unsure what cable i need to do this, my screen already has a cable attached but won't fit into the macbook due to the fitting (i am unsure of the name of the cable.) Also can a cinema HD screen be calibrated?

    You will need either a mini-Displayport to VGA or DVI, and the corresponding VGA or DVI cable to the monitor.

  • What cable should I use to connect an old iBook G4 to a MacBook Pro in order to transfer files?

    I'd like to transfer files from the iBook G4 to my new MacBook Pro.  However, I'm not a "pro" at using a computer and I'm not even sure what cable to use to connect the two laptops.  I welcome your suggestions!

    The Y is FireWire and the MBP has a FW800 port. On the iBook you should find a FW400 port shaped like an arrow (see below, left pic). So for speediest transfer, you need a Firewire 400 to Firewire800 cable that will allow you to plug both Macs together (right pic).
    Once you have gotten that, place the IBook in Target Disk Mode (see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 ) and connect both with the cable. The iBook's hard disk drive will appear on the MacBook's desktop. You can either drag stuff across or use the Migration Assistant found in Utilities to ensure applications get transferred correctly.

  • What cable do I need to connect my MacBook Pro 17 inch to an Epson EX71 Projector

    My old MacBook Pro had a video adaptor port that is no longer on the newest MacBook Pro that I purchased in June 2011. Not sure which cable I need.

    The new Mac Book Pros have a Thunderbolt connector, whcih is compatible with Mini Displayport cables/adapters for external displays and projectors.
    Accord to Epson, the EX71 has analog 15 pin D-sub  WXGA inputs, and HDMI digital inputs which are suitable for computer display. Buy an adapter/cable that goes from "MiniDisplayPort to VGA" for analog, or MiniDisplayPort to HDMI for digital. If you don't need sound included over HDMI, you could use a MiniDIsplayPort to DVI adapter with a DVI to HDMI adapter, and extender cable to convey the video portion.
    Also, check the Apple note on MDP to HDMI:

  • I have a MacBook pro 13 early 2011 model. For some reason it stopped working and everytime I try to start it up it beeps and does nothing. Did it happen to someone else. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    My Mac won't start, all it does is beep and I don't know what's wrong

    Most likely a RAM issue.
    How many beeps?
    Click here >  Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • What cable should I use to connect my g4 to a 19'flat screen hd  tv?

    Whats it called?

    Your Powerbook has a DVI video-out port, and the best video quality will be obtained by connecting that port to the HDMI port on your television, using an adapter cable with the appropriate male/female ends. Google "DVI to HDMI adapter" to find suppliers online, or go to your local electronics big-box store (take your Powerbook along) and find one there. Note that DVI and HDMI cables don't carry audio, so you'll need to cable the audio from the Powerbook to the TV set separately.

  • What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    Hello Alex,
    It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
