Can I connect a Samsung HD 1920x1080 monitor to my MacBook Pro?

I am looking to buy an external 22" monitor to my MacBook Pro. Essentially all the monitors today are LED Full HD 1920x1080. But, I do not see that high a resolution in the menu on my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,2 Intel Core i7 running 10.7 for now). The highest resolution shown on the pull down monitor is 1440x900. (Maybe because that is the resolution of the built-in display?)
Will it work?
Thanks in advance.

Your MBP will support external resolutions of 2560 x 1600:
Ciao.

Can I connect a Power Mac G5 monitor to a Macbook pro?

I still have my Power Mac G5 monitor that still works. I wanted to know if I can connect the monitor to my Macbook pro. I'm not sure what adapters, if any, I should use. Thanks in advance.

What brand and model of monitor and what type of connectors does it have?
PowerMac G5s did not ship with a monitor but you could use several Apple monitors of the time plus common third-party monitors like Sony, ViewSonic, etc. However, the type of video connection varies, even on Apple monitors. So we would need to know what connectors (or at least make/model) to research the required adpators.
If you are asking about a G5 iMac----looks like this:
Then, no, it cannot be used as an external monitor in the traditional sense. You may be able to use third-party, screen-sharing software if both computers are networked. See here:

It appears the software still supports older Macs.

How can I connect my existing firewire drives to the "new" Macbook pro

I'm thinking about getting a new Macbook Pro, to take on the road.
I already have four external drives with firewire and USB 2.0 ports.
After I looked at the new machine I noticed it only had USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports.
I dont see any Firewire to Thunderbolt technology out there nor do I see any USB3.0 to anything technology. How can I connect my drives to the new system?

You can use the USB3 connections for USB2. That's downward compatible. Just runs at USB2 speed.
Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire. But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

Can't connect Canon MP560 wirelessly using Airport Extreme with MacBook Pro

My Canon MP560 is failing to connect to the access point. It recognizes the access point/network I would like to connect to but when I enter in my password it fails to connect and tells me to check access point settings. I used this exact same printer but different router in my old house and everything worked well! I'm thinking this is a Mac thing that I can't seem to figure out. I have the lastest Canon driver updates for Mac and use 10.6.8 software on my Macbook Pro.
This is how the printer instructs me on the panel.
a. Select Wireless LAN setup
b. Select Easy Settings
c. Select Access Point
d. Enter Password
e. Fails to connect..........
Please help.
Brice.

Hi Tesserax,
i have the same issue as mountie30 with the MP560 but it's not working
i have a airport express.
i was following your instructions:
''To get to this feature within the AirPort Utility, go to the utility's menu bar and first choose Base Station, and then, Add Wireless Clients...''
the problem is, base station is in light gray and i can't click on it.
i re-plugged my printer into my imac so it detects it again. (it still says printer offline in settings)
i have no clue what to do.
please help
thanks

Connecting a Samsung 5500 32" Smart TV to Macbook Pro using a Belkin HDMI to MiniDisplay Port.

I have a new Samsung 5500 32" Smart TV, and I'm trying to connect it to my Macbook Pro using a Belkin HDMI to MiniDisplay Port. The computer will not recognize the TV as a display (the arrangement tab will not show up) and the TV will not show the computer as a source. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry correction. That is a Mini DP port to HDMI that I am trying but I get no indication Mac is seeing TV. Please help.....

HT4241 Can I connect audio to the TV for later model MacBook Pros?

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro and I got an HDMI mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter, but the audio doesn't transfer. Any idea if I need a different cord/cable etc?

If audio isn't passed then you will need to use the stereo audio out (headphone) jack on your MBP.
You need a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack at one end and (presumably) RCA jacks on the TV end. These can be found most anywhere like your local Radio Shack or monoprice.com.
Note if the TV doesn't use RCA sockets for it's audio in then whatever it uses there's a audio cable or adapter for it for these same or similar sources. Audio cables and adapters come in many combinations.

Can I connect my 35 mm film camera to my MacBook pro computer?

Hello. I would like to know if I can input images from my 35 mm film camera to my MacBook Pro computer. Is the use of a scanner the only answer? If I purchase a digital camera, I would like to have one that requires low energy from a battery. I am looking for one that has 12 megapixels of resolution and has an adjustable focal length from 25mm to 180 mm. I read that digital cameras require much energy from a battery. And I would prefer to use a small battery over one that is a NiMh or is a lithium ion.

but an AM Vantage is also cool (and much cheaper)
There you go: This is my new (demo model 2008 with 4,500 Kilometers) Vantage. The actual car and photo the day I took it from the dealer in Vancouver. Just have to figure out if i can change my name from Bimmer to Vantage in this forum.

HT2477 how can I connect a Garmin GPS etrex vista hcx to macbook pro with retina.

I would like to know if is it possible to connect my GPS Garmin etrex vista hcx to my macbook pro with retina.
Thanks.

I believe that Garmin GPSr model uses a USB connection, so if you load the Garmin drivers, and possibly the [free] Garmin Base Camp utility, you should be able to connect your GPSr to your macbook Pro and transfer information. I don't recall positively, but I think that your GPSr should appear as a USB drive automatically once you connect it, but it might require you to load the Garmin Communicator software.

Can i connect a Samsung VGA/DVI monitor to macbook air?

I am looking to buy a Macbook air (13.3 inch). Is there a cable available to connect the Macbook air to my old monitor (Samsung that only supports VGA and DVI)? Eventually, I will buy a Thunderbolt display, but can't afford that yet.
Thanks,

Certainly you can. Just about any Apple retailer will have a Thunderbolt/MDP-VGA or Thunderbolt/MDP-DVI adapter. Apple has them also available through the online Apple Store.

Hello, gushingstream.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues connecting to Wi-Fi. I would also make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router.

HT5219 Can I connect my thunderbolt monitor to my MacBook Pro and iMac at the same time

I am wanting to connect my thunderbolt monitor to my MacBook Pro as a secondary monitor when running programs in windows 7 thru boot camp, and also have it connected to my iMac as a secondary monitor when working thru apps on my iMac. Is there a way to do this without having to connect and disconnect cables each time I want to switch.

I don't think it can be done without a KVM switch, & not sure they can handle that resolution.

How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
I'll appreciate

Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

How do i connect three external monitors to a macbook pro?

How do I connect three extrenal monitors to my Macbook Pro?

I have a USB to DVI adapter from kensington. I use to use it to power at 14" display.Moving windows around had some tearing and lag. Typing lagged, but it was use-able. It was fine for displaying diffrent stats. The OS treated it as it would any additional display.
But I found it undesirable for any thing tha requires lots dragging and clicking.
Every so often the device would lock up. At witch point the computer would get stuck trying to detect the USB display. I would have to unplug the adapter, cycle the power on the adapter. And then it would be good for a couple more months.
Also some times after a reboot, the adapter would stop working. I would have to unplug it, and login, and then plug it back in.
Coping file to my USB 2 harddrive seemed to cause more lag to the USB to Video Adapter.
About the idea of dasiy chaining 3 Thunderbolt display tgeother. Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch): Connection options for Thunderbolt Macs states the most the current MacBook Pro 15 & 17 inch can currently drive is 2 Apple Thunderbolt Displays.

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air I Installation Guide for windows 7. Where do I find installation guide for Mac? ?

After connecting a Hanns.G HL269 monitor to my MacBook air I entered the disc for the Installation Guide for windows 7 that came with the monitor. Where canI obtain the installation guide for a Mac?

Those are two Q&A steps from the manufacturer's website. The first one indicating that the "driver" CD is not necessary. The second one is worth following to make sure the monitor is behaving properly. In addition you can go into System Preferences > Displays and then the Arrangement tab to see if the monitor responses from there.
