As the topic says,

Help me out please.

Yes ... minidisplay
But what I do not like in that picture (my personal view, others may think differently), is that there is much plastic around the connectors where the cable must fit.  You may ot may not be able to get the cable to *fully seat* with the adapter.
Other adapters (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334087, yes I know this is a DVI) hve no plastic barriers to connections.

    Depends on which MacBook Pro you have and what kind of TV you have.
    If you're MacBook Pro is 2010 or 2010, and your TV has an HDMI input, then get this adapter.  It should be easy.

    You need either a FireWire 800 to FW 400 cable or a FR 800 (male)/FW(female) adopter.
    However. it the Mini (note that you still have the late 2012 Mini, Apple has not updated the Mini since then) has Mavericks it may not work satisfactorily. I tried it on my 2102 and I get abount 1 frame every 20 seconds. Another uses posted same problem.
    However, it it work fine on my late 2009 Mini with Mavericks

  • Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

    The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

  • What do I need in order to connect my Macbook Pro to school projectors?

    I heard something about buying an Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter, but I read that this only applies to the old Macbooks. My Macbook is one of the newest ones I'm guessing since I bought it not more than two months ago. It is a 13.3" Macbook Pro. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Have you looked in the user guide? There should be a section about connecting to an external monitor. The newest models probably have a Thunderbolt port, so you would use a Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (that may be the same as the Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adaptor.)

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA, bad cable/connection?

    So I have had this Apple version of the Mini DisplayPort to VGA cable for a little while now, not sure if it has been a year yet...and well it has stopped working.  I noticed this after my friend was messing with it on his MacBook, but I do not know if it was him or not.  The problem is that the cable will connect to my Mac, but it will not display onto my external monitor...that is unless I press downlwards on the white cable, and as soon as I do it stops.  Is there anything I can do about this?  Would this be considered something that would be under warranty?

    The connection to my external display monitor stops.  I'll push down on the cable, my MacBook screen goes blue for a second as it usually does and then I will be mirroring on both MacBook and my external display (I am still holding down the wire), and as soon as I let go my MacBook acts as if the VGA adapter cable is not even plugged in.  I am currently on the phone with Apple support and they are working with me on getting a replacement. 

  • What Cable Do I Need?

    Hey Everyone,
    I just bought a Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter so that I could hook up my laptop to a TV (mainly to play iTunes music and muted DVDs at the same time for a party I'm having, this way I won't have to buy a speaker system for just one night of use).
    I thought I had the cable to connect from the adapter to my TV, but apparently I was wrong. I've looked online for the cord I need, but there are just so many options and different types. Which one do I need? And does the Apple Store sell the cable I need?
    Thanks for helping me out!

    You mean kind of like Dark Side of the Rainbow?

    Radio Shack should have the audio cables you need to go from the MacBook headphone jack to the AUX audio input on your equipment, from basic inexpensive cables to high-end audiophile gold-plated Monster cables for more $$$. Check what inputs you have available on the TV/VCR/Stereo system, the left-right RCA jacks are pretty common. You could also find there either an S-video or RCA/composite video cable for the video signal from the adapter you just bought to go to the AUX video in on your equipment.

    thanks!

    you need a mini-dvi to vga adapter to connect to the first cable you have pictured. A mini DVI to video adapter will work with the other which looks to be an S-video cable.
    The minii dvi to vga should do the trick
