Cable Connection from MacBook Pro to LCD Projector

What cable do I need to connect my 2011 MacBook Pro (Fall edition) to a standard LCD Projector?

Assuming the projector has a VGA input, this type adapter should do it.

  • I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • Ipad to Macbook Pro to LCD projector

    I have a MacBook Pro and IPad 2. Doing a PPT with the MacBook Pro using the mini display port to VGA adapter connected to the LCD projector. I would like to display an app from the IPad to the LCD to the screen. I realize I can connect it directly to the projector. But I was wondering if I can connect the IPad to the Macbook via USB and configure the MacBook to display the IPad on the screen via LCD projector.

    Maybe this:

  • Sharing internet connection from MacBook Pro to iMac G3

    My goal here is to connect my iMac G3 (that I just got) to my cable internet connection. However, there are some hurdles in doing so. On the other side of my house lies my modem. It's connected to a D-Link wireless router to give my PC, Xbox 360, Wii and MacBook Pro internet all at the same time. It's too far to drag an ethernet cable, and the iMac G3 doesn't have an AirPort card (and $99 for a used wireless b adapter is ridiculous).
    From what I've gathered online, OS X can share it's internet connection with another Mac via FireWire, ethernet or AirPort. AirPort is out of the question since that's how my MacBook Pro connects to the net, and since the iMac G3 doesn't have an AirPort card. I don't have anything that uses FireWire, so othe port on both machines is free, but I also don't have a cable to connect the two. I do, however, have a few spare ethernet cables, so I'd like to get this setup using them.
    Thing is, I can't get it to work. Simply enabling internet sharing in System Preferences does diddly squat, and no connection is found with Network Utility on the iMac. What I'd really like here is for someone to either instruct me on how to get this to work, or point me in the direction of such an article. I haven't been able to find anything with Google so far...
    Now, my MacBook Pro obvioously runs 10.4.9 with all the updates. The iMac G3, however, is running 10.3.5 at the moment. While I will be upgrading it to tiger in the near future, I kinda wanted to play around with Internet Expplorer before doing so. Being new to the Mac and all (the MBP is my first Mac), I've never used Internet Exporer on the Mac -- or 10.3 at all really, for that matter. So if it can be done, I'd like to do this with 10.3 still on the iMac, though I could upgrade it to tiger if I HAD to.
    Should it matter, the iMac G3 is a 400MHz indigo unit with 256MB RAM and a 10GB HDD. It's the summer '00 model. The MacBook Pro is a revision A system with a 1.83GHz Core Duo inside. More detailed specs can be found within my profile on here, I believe.
    Sorry for such a long winded post...
    1.83GHz MacBook Pro 15"; 400MHz iMac G3 Indigo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I don't have anything that uses FireWire, so othe port on both machines is free, but I also don't have a cable to connect the two. I do, however, have a few spare ethernet cables, so I'd like to get this setup using them.
    Lost me there... is it Ethernet cables you're using even though it's too far? Or What?
    Should be no problem Sharing the Internet connection from 101.4.9 to 10.3.x.
    Just waiting for more info or clarity.

  • Connecting my MacBook to an LCD projector

    I'm an ESL teacher, and my kids made simple movies of themselves telling stories, using my secondhand MacBook and Photo Booth. When I tried to connect to my LCD projector, using the dongle that came with my G3, it wouldn't fit! Our librarian said I need a different one (grrr) for the Macbook, but when I went online to search, it appears that I need a different device altogether - some kind of Mini DP Display port.
    Does someone know what I really need? Thanks!
    Helen

    Does someone know what I really need?
    In the short term what you need is to post this in the right forum. You posted this in the Panther and earlier OS forum but your computer information says you're using Leopard, but that doesn't matter because this is really a hardware problem and would best be off in the forum for your computer. I'll ask it be moved there.

  • Ethernet cable connection of MacBook Pro to G5

    I have been following the Finder Help guide to connect my G5 to my MacBook Pro. I found the four step guide under the query of "connecting computers". The first three steps are unambiguous: -
    1, connect the cable.
    2, Open Sharing preferences on both computers and turn on Personal File sharing. Note Computer name for the computers.
    3, On one of the computers, choose Go> connect to server and then click Browse.
    However 4 is not so clear: - Double click the other computer in the window and enter your password if necessary.
    My questions are double click what and in which window?

    Hi. Better come clean and say that I don't use this route for networking - the LAN here is via a router to Vista & XP... So I can't test your exact set-up.
    However, I think Apple are steering the User along a different path for a simple two-Mac, ethernet cable-connected 'network', which is inherently physically secure, to overcome the (deliberate) limitation of OS X that only the 'Public' folder is shared on a potentially 'open' network; see the Admin User-Connect to Server 'workaround' further down the page here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106224
    Personally - on this LAN, with 10.4.11, I use(d - see note below) Sharepoints
    http://hornware.com/sharepoints/
    which enables the sharing of your choice of folders/drives - the User on the networked Mac does not have to be Admin - and then connect in Finder > Go > Network.
    Please post again if you have any questions. Good Luck.
    Note - Networking is somewhat "different" in 10.5

  • 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.)

  • How can i share my internet connection from macbook pro to my iphone?

    i need your help..

    On your MBP, from the Apple menu, select System Preferences, click the Sharing icon, and then click Internet Sharing. Select the way your computer is connected to the Internet under "Share your connection from" (ethernet probably), In the "To computers using", select the WiFi check box.
    Click the WiFi Options button and assign your new network a name. Turn on encryption if you like, enter a password, and click OK.
    Back in the Sharing pane, click the Start button in the Internet Sharing section.
    (to turn sharing off, go to the same place and click stop.)
    On your iPhone, turn on WiFi under Settings > WiFi
    Your iPhone serches for WiFi networks and yours should pop up with the name you gave it. If you turned on encryption (which you should to protect your data) enter the password and click Join.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to lcd

    When I was shopping to buy hardware I brought a mini display to dvi & a dvi cable. When I got home I realised my lcd does not have a dvi port. I brought a
    DVI Female to VGA Male adapter & connected it to my lcd. But my macbook doesnt to connect to my lcd. I am using windows 7 & osx.

    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
