Can you connect a MacBook Pro to two monitors?

I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 and two monitors from two Mac G5's (late 2006). I would like to know if its possible to connect the town monitors to the computer and what hardware/ accessories would I need to do so?

I would use the DualHead2Go or the TripleHead2Go

Can you plug your macbook pro to your monitor ?

thanks for answering

Yep, you sure can. I have my MBP connected to a Samsung 730B via the digital input. This way I can use the dual screen feature to give me more desktop "elbow" room when I am working at home. Alternately, you can simply use the screen mirror option where what is on you MBP screen is also on your external monitor. If you have not purchased the external monitor yet, I would advise you get one with a digital input already built in.

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on. My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required. When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password. The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP. Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products. I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.

Can I connect my MacBook Pro (with Bluetooth 2.1) to a Bose Sounddock 10

I own a 17 inch MacBook Pro (bought summer 2009) and am interested in buying a new Bose SoundDock 10 with the Bluetooth adapter. Before investing $750 in this sound system, I would like to learn if I can simply pair and connect the MacBook Pro and SoundDock 10 via Bluetooth and play my music from the MacBook Pro thru the SoundDock (such as iTunes and Pandora). I know I can do this from my Driod to the SoundDock. Thank you!

I just purchased the 10 and love it. I don't have the Bluetooth adapter, it was not available when I made my purchase. I was also wondering if my MBP would connect. I can see no reason why the two would not pair.

Can´t connect my macbook pro to apple tv

I can´t get my MacBook pro to connect apple tv.How to do?

Hey Jonas!
Depending on how you want to connect your computer to your Apple TV, I have a couple of articles for you that can help answer your question. First, if you have OS X Mountain Lion on your MacBook Pro, this article about AirPlay Mirroring will help you understand some of the options available to you with that feature, and at the bottom of the page is a link to instructions for setting up AirPlay Mirroring:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
You can also have your iTunes Library connect to your Apple TV through a feature called Home Sharing, more information on which can be found here:
Understanding Home Sharing

Hope that helps you understand some of the options available to you for connecting your MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

How can I connect My MacBook Pro to Apple TV?

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Apple TV but without success. Any ideas?

How old is your MBP (year and season)?
 > About This Mac > More Info...
Apple TV is supported on a early 2011 or newer MacBook Pros with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. If your MBP is older than that then you can use AirParot to connect to Apple TV.

Can i connect my macbook pro to a tv to watch movies etc

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my TV to watch DVDs and catch-up tv shows.
My MacBook is a late 2011 model, my TV is an LG, around 6 years old - doesn't have HDMI access, but has video & audio inputs. I've successfully used these inputs to watch DVDs from my old Sony Playstation, so I know they work.
I have the cables - a mini display port Thunderbolt to VGA adapter and a VGA to TV converter box, as well as the audio cables. Connecting all these isn't my problem.
When I connect it, and then go to Display, the problems begin.
Once I plug the cable into the Thunderbolt port, the "Arrangement" option on the Display menu shows up, I click on it, then I check the "Mirror Displays" box- the screen on the MacBook changes, but nothing shows up on the TV. I've tried all the input modes on the TV, nothing makes a difference.
Underneath the "Mirror Displays" box is one that says, "Airplay Mirroring" and the drop down menu on this is greyed out, showing "no devices detected - I assume this is for Apple TV, and has nothing to do with what I'm doing.
I've watched a few YouTube videos on how to do this - some show the same screen I get when I check "Mirror Displays" but in the videos, everything runs smoothly from there!
One of the videos I watched showed instead a TV icon in the menu bar along the top right of the MacBook screen - this doesn't appear on mine - in fact, when I turn Mirroring on, all the items in this menu bar disappear.
Can anybody help me please? I'm very frustrated by this time!

Never mind, I solved it. Didn't know the converter needed a power source to operate (duh!) Now I have that, it works just fine.......

CAN I TURN MY MACBOOK PRO INTO A MONITOR?

Help I want to turn my Macbook Pro into a monitor for my Playstation 2 so that way I can record on my screen using quicktime. please help I used a vga adapter from apple a AV to vga converter, and is their any way for me to use an iphone on a mac to play ios games while recording?

I don't think you can without some sort of capture card (very expensive, and because most MacBook Pros don't have a card, you need to use the FW800). MBP's Thunderbolt port only sends video signals out, you can't attach an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort cable from your camera to the MBP and expect to show video.
You could try a utility like Sofortbild.

Can I connect a macbook pro and an ibook g4 via ethernet with ibook in target disc mode?

Well, that's the question, really. I just bought a refurb macbook pro as an upgrade for my sister's elderly ibook - which has been a great computer, but which can't run any system newer than Tiger, and which has an extremely crowded hard drive. We began setting up the new computer last night, and got to where we were instructed to use migration assitant to transfer files from the old machine. This is where things fell apart.
1. Although both machines were on my sister's wireless network, the macbook pro did not see the ibook.
2. When we tried to connect the machines via firewire, we had a new problem - our particular macbook pro does not have a firewire 400 port. Same problem when we thought of connecting my sister's extermal verbatim drive. The macbook pro recognized the drive when we connected via USB, but, after asking if we wanted to use Verbatim for Time Machine, it didn't seem to see it when we answered "Not now".
I have ordered an adapter for our firewire cable, but, in the meantime, I have an ethernet cable at home which I used to transfer data from my older iMac G3 to an eMac. Can I use this cable while putting my sister's ibook into target disc mode, or must I wait for the connector? It is VERY frustrating having such a hard time moving information from one Mac to another. I've been a Mac fan (and evangelist) for years because Macs are generally easy and reliable. But now we're stuck.
I've been reading the boards and understand that target disc mode is the way to go, since we can't use migration assitant to move files between an Intel machine and a PPC. The new macbook pro is running Lion, while the old iBook is running Tiger 10.4.11. Neither of us has any experience with Lion, though we've both used Macs for many years.
TIA!

Thanks, Niel! As it turned out, I had a LaCie rugged drive at my place which had both Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connections and cables. So I hooked it up to the old iBook, pulled my sister's stuff onto it as instructed in the ppc to intel thread, and then hooked it up to the Macbook Pro. Problem solved! - almost. We did have two issues:
1. My sister has a lot of music - more than 12 gigs were on the iBook's hard drive, but only about 6 made it onto the Macbook Pro. Why is that? I also got a message, when I was trying to move the music folder from the old library onto the new one, that OS X needed this folder and it couldn't be modified. Again, why is that? How, then, do you move files from a PPC to a machine running Lion? Again, a lot of her music files did make it over, but not all of them.
2. All her photos did seem to come over - in duplicate, maybe even in triplicate. That is so annoying! The same thing happened to me when I was migrating between my old eMac G4 and my iMac G5. Why on earth does iPhoto do this, and how can we make it stop?!
But we did manage to get a lot of her stuff onto the new machine. When we get the adapter, she'll be able to add the files that are on the Verbatim drive. You've been very helpful!

Can i connect a macbook pro to a Lenovo M500 DLP projector?

Does anyone know what cable etc i would need to buy in order to do this? The lead that comes with the projector won't fit into any of the ports on the macbook pro so i was wondering if there's anything i can get that would fit and connect the two?
Thank you

It appears that the projector has a DVI-I input port. You would then need a DVI-I to mini display port adapter. https://www.google.com/search?q=dvi-i+to+mini+display+port

Connecting macbook pro to two monitors?

How do I connect two apple cinema displays (24" and 30") to a 15 inch macbook pro (mid 2010)?

Mmm... the only thing I can think of right now is the "Matrox DualHead2Go"
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/
However that requires DVI connections or Display port... So, you might need to get a pair of HDMI to DVI Adapters too..
