Can you mirror iphone 4 to macbook pro using 30-pin digital av adapter?

I have an iPhone 4 and I want to be able to mirror my device onto my Macbook Pro, without using the internet. So for example if I was not in a location that had internet, I would still be able to do so. I purchased the 30-pin Digital AV Adapter online only to test it and not get anything on my screen but have iTunes open. Is this because I have an iPhone 4, would this accessory with with an iPhone 4S, or get the lightning adapater to work with the iPhone 5. Does anyone else know of other options that do not involve using internet.

I use the 30 Pin Av Adapter from Apple, and it works on my iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3. So not sure what those reviews would be talking about.
Just to be sure there's no confusion: there's a difference between the 30 Pin Digital AV Adapter

And the 30 Pin to Lightning Adapter

The 30 pin to Lightning in fact does not support Video output, but if you have a newer iPad. (4 or a Mini) you can use a Lightning Digital Av Adapter

For older iPads the 30 Pin Digital Av Adapter works just fine, in all iOS versions I've tried it on.  In fact I can use it on a first generation iPad running iOS 4.3.3 to view movies from the Videos App just fine.
All of these will require an HDMi cable and a TV with an HDMI input.  Most recent TV's have this. 
The Apple TV will connect to an iPad wirelessly, but is also double the price of the adapters, and still requires the HDMI cable and port on the TV to connect to.
I'd suggest the adapter that fits your iPad over the Apple TV unless you really need to have the connection be wireless from the iPad to the Apple Tv box.
For Apps that don't have Video Output, the only eay to view the is to Mirror the iPads screen, and for that you need an iPad 2 or newer. As the First Generation iPad  cannot do this.

  • 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.

  • Can you install Windows 8.1 Pro using Parallels on a new MacBook Pro without retina display?

    I am starting a graduate school program and I would like to purchase a MacBook Pro. The options for the non-retina display fit my needs best, but it sounds like the resolution requirements for Windows 8.1 Pro do not match the MacBook Pro without retina. I need Windows to run a statistics program (SAS) and ArcGIS for mapping. Any thoughts or experience installing Windows 8.1 Pro on MBP without retina?

    The native res on my 13-inch non-Retina is 1280x800. You might check with Parallels support or their forums to see if this is a problem.
    If you go with the non-Retina 13-inch, I'd recommend getting 8GB RAM (standard is 4GB) because Win emulators need a fair bit of memory.

  • How can I mirror from my macbook pro

    Hi all, I have a macbook pro and would like to mirror my tv right to my apple tv but don't know how?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • HT5887 how to sharing data from iPhone to macbook pro using an airdrop?

    hi all i just wanna ask about an airdrop. i want to send my data from iPhone to my MacBook Pro, but the airdrop doesnt exist on my MacBook Pro. thx a lot.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot use AirDrop to transfer files between an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and a Mac. You can only use AirDrop to transfer files between two iPhones, iPads and iPods touch, or between two Macs. This is caused because AirDrop does not work in the same way in iOS and OS X.

  • Can i mirror from a macbook pro to an apple tv 3 if my macbook is pre 2011?

    I am trying to miror from my macbook pro to my apple tv 3 but i cannot find the icon on my computer. Im pretty sure my macbook pro is pre 2011. Is there any other way of mirroring?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course, but you cannot use AirPlay Mirroring because it requires an Early 2011 or a newer MacBook Pro.
    Instead, you can use an application like AirParrot to mirror your MacBook display onto the Apple TV. It is a well-known app, so it is the one I recommend you to use, but there are more

  • Can you still buy a macbook pro with snow leopard?

    can you still purchase a new macbook with snow leopard?

    No.  However, some used and refurbished Mac shops still have MacBook Pros with a warranty sold with them*:

    And yes, they are Snow Leopard compatible.  July 20, 2011 is the cutoff date.   So be sure the model predates that vintage.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to macbook pro using Yosemite

    Hello,
    I am wanting to transfer all of my music and playlists (including music downloaded from internet) from my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.1) to my macbook pro which is using Yosemite (10.10.1) How would I do this?
    Thanks!

    Syncing will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store to your computer.  Music from other sources can only be transfered from your phone to your computer using 3rd party software such as PhoneView (Mac) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • How much ram can you put in a Macbook Pro 7,1?

    I have what I thought was 2011 macbook pro, but when I just looked it up the 7,1 appears to be a 2010. Anyway, I want to max out the ram. OWC says you can put in 16GB of the DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM; here is the link: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/8566DDR3S16P/ Has anyone done this and does it work?

    If OWC says it will work, it will work.  The 2010 13" MBP can accept 16 GB RAM due to a relatively new firmware update.  Other 2010 MBPs cannot (still).
    Ciao.
    Carefull on the specifications!  They should be:  204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.

  • Can you transfer files from Macbook Pro to iPad Air via USB ?

    Hi ,
    Can you use that USB adapter to transfer photos / .pdf`s / .mp3`s and so forth ?
    I have a MBP-R + MM , and would like to be able to use the newer iPad Air for veiwing photos as well as .pdf`s , I got the music part , just sync with iTunes.
    Many thanks !

    iTunes, when your iPad Air is plugged in via USB to your computer and selected in iTunes, has a tab for Books which can transfer your PDFs to iBooks.  It also has a tabs for Photos.
    If you select the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the apps list, you will see a section for Apps that can sync files between your computer and the App on your iPad Air.  So if you have an app that handles a specific file format you can use iTunes to sync that file between your computer and your iPad Air.
    As has been mentioned above, besides iBooks, GoodReader is another well respected app that handles PDFs and you can transfer PDF files between your computer and GoodReader on the iPad Air via the Apps tab.

  • Can you help me connect MacBook Pro to home wifi?

    My iMac will connect to my wireless router but my MacBook Pro will not. Network set up utility falls. Tried all the restarting stuff already. There is not IP address for the router on the laptop, but there is one on the iMac. That is the only difference I can see.

    Figured it out. My ex-husband had enabled MAC address filtering on the router firewall. The iMac's was already registered but the laptop's was not.
