  • What cable do I need to connect my sony video camcorder to my macpro

    I need to purchase a firewire cable that will connect my Sony min tape camcorder to my Mac Pro laptop and I am not sure what to get.

    Look at your Sony camera or read the instructions for same.  It probably will be a mini USB connector.  If it is, you will need a mini USB/USB wire.

    the link contains 2 pictures that i took with my cell phone at the college, at the podium. the other ends of these cables connect to the classrooms projector. what cable to i need to purchase in order to connect my macbook to the projector? and around how much? is apple the best place to get whatever cable i need ot ebay? :-p
    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

    Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.

  • What cables do I need to connect MacBook Pro to the TV VGA port

    Hi,
    The HDMI port on my Maxent tv is not working.  I am hoping to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV via the VGA port on the TV to watch Netflix and movies.  What cables do I need that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)?  And will that cable support audio or will I need a separate audio cable?
    Thanks-

    Hey Sheri Lynn,
    Thanks for the question. Our online store has a helpful tool that should guide you through the process of picking the best adapter for your MacBook model. You can check it out here:

    If you are connecting via VGA you will need a separate audio cable if your TV supports it.
    Thanks,

  • What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display

    What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display to have two displays?

    It depends on what type(s) of video input you have on your TV. If you've an open HDMI port on your TV, you can use a Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter and it will carry the sound also. See -> here.
    Good luck,

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you're trying to transfer the music, from the Nano to the Air, you have to either download your purchased songs again in the purchased tab of iTunes or sync them to the Air, using iTunes on your computer.
    Its been a few years since I've used a Nano, but IIRC, the only way to get the music on the device to begin with is by syncing with iTunes, so the songs have to be in your iTunes library.

  • 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 buy to connect my Macbook Pro (2011) to a VGA screen? I tried the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA", but apparently it doesnt fit the 2011 Pro version...

    As the topic says,
    What cable do I need to buy to connect my Macbook Pro (2011) to a VGA screen? I tried the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA", but apparently it doesnt fit the 2011 Pro version...
    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.
