Connect from thunderbolt port to hdmi projector

Is there a cable that converts thunderbolt to and hdmi connection. If not, how do you set up that configuration for a Macbook Pro?

Cant get a signal from thunderbolt port to HDMI

I cant make the thunderbolt to HDMI addapter work. Any one knows how to see the external screen?

You can see if the Mac recognizes the monitor in System Preferences > Displays. There will be an "Arrangement" tab that appears when a second monitor is detected. Options can be selected there.

Any solution?

How to connect iMAC thunderbolt port to a cable TV set top box?

I am moving to a house that will have combination TV-phone-Internet services delivered via cable (Optimum is the provider). I understand that with my new iMac which has a "thunderbolt" port that I can use the iMac as a tv monitor and DVR (recorder) and watch live TV or recorded TV. I think it is possible to record TV shows either on the iMac's hard drive or the Optimum DVR. Beyond that, I get confused because I do not understand the details of RCA cables, coaxial cables, HDMI connectors, etc. Apple does not provide support for set top boxes (I called Apple), and Optimum does not provide support for Macs (I called them too). Since Apple is the party advertising the capability of watching TV on a Mac, I would think the burden is more on them to explain how that works, and maybe they have done so on their web sites, but I cannot find it so far. I can understand that the cable company does not want to tell people how to bypass the need for their DVR equipment. Before I go out and hire a consultant for a few hundred dollars to explain it, I was hoping I might find online some tips on how to set up a system at home. No luck so far.
Am I correct in assuming that wireless connections are NOT an option because a TV signal has too much bandwidth to work wirelessly? (I do have a wireless router already.)
If so and if I am using wires to connect the iMac, am I correct to think I want to use the thunderbolt port for best results?
If so, what next? What exactly is the adapter or cable I need and how do I plug it into the set top box? There are several people in the household, and so I would want the flat screen TV monitor to work normally at times rather than only use the iMac. Does that require several set top boxes? I would think that this would be an issue for many people, and it seems to me that this forum would be an ideal place to get help. So far the people I have spoken with say "well it depends on what you want to do and what your equipment is and for that you have to go ask ___________[someone else]"

I do not understand what Apple TV is. I have TV already. When I look up "Apple TV" on the Apple website I see that is has been redesigned to be small in size but big in entertainment. Since I did not know what it was BEFORE it was redesigned, knowing that is has been redesigned does not help me understand it. Now it is smaller? So it was too big before? "Watch Netflix titles instantly." But I can do that with my mac and an internet connection now. So what is Apple TV that makes it a better or different way to watch Netflix movies? "Best of all, Apple TV is just $99" Sorry, but how is that the Best of All part? My Optimum Cable is charging me $30 a month for TV. But Apple TV's best part is it costs $99? Is that per month too? I also see that everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV, and all I need it so connect apple tv to my widescreen TV using an HDMI cable sold separately. Now I am really confused. I plug in a cable to get wireless streaming? If it is wireless, why does it need a cable? If there is a cable involved, how is it wireless? Color me clueless. I cannot find a straight forward description of what Apple TV is. And so I don't get how that is the answer to my question. Sorry for being so simple-minded. Thanks for the suggestion and I will go research further to learn what is an Apple TV.

Pro 2840 No mini DP detection on Macbook Pro 2014 from 'thunderbolt' port. Help!

May have relation to this issue http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVision-displays/Lenovo-ThinkVision-Pro2840m-4K-no-DisplayPort-signa...
The solution for which is apparently a firmware update (firmware updates are not public and require sending the monitor to lenovo.)
Now as far as I understand it, this monitor can display at 60hz over through it's mini display port. New macbook pros don't have a display port output, but have a thunderbolt output which the more astute among you will know is effectively the same thing as a mini display port output.
Now upon connecting the thunderbolt cable from my macbook to the pro 2840m, nothing happens. The monitor acts like it's recieiving no signal (although recognises the connection) and my macbook doesnt detect a new monitor.
I've had absolutely no luck finding a solution to this problem and given how common my hardware is I can't be the only one. Does anyone have any ideas? Stuck using the monitor at 30hz and I'd rather have a refund than continue on like this.
Thanks for reading!

Out of own experience I can say that the fault here is with your cable. For 4K@60Hz you absolutely need a TRUE DisplayPort 1.2 certified cable (be it DP, miniDP or Thunderbolt). I was supprised despite silly brands like StarTech.com, Intronics or ACT caliming their DP-DP cables to support DisplayPort 1.2, to experience for myself that in fact they didn't at all. I had to try 4 different cable brands, to finally find one DP-DP cable by Delock (from the 8277x family) which truely supported DisplayPort 1.2 signals.

HT202801 Cannot connect 2nd Thunderbolt Display or HDMI TV

Hi,
I can't seem to get my 2nd Thunderbolt Display or HDMI TV to work or be recognized on my MacPro. I do have my primary Thunderbolt display working. I went through the setup options that was on the how to article to set it up, and still nothing. Under About this Mac, it only recognizes the primary display as well. Any suggestions? Thanks

When I unplugged my primary monitor, the second one did not come on. I did go through all of the thunderbolt ports with the primary monitor and all of them had a signal to it. I unplugged my second displays power and plugged it back in, then plugged it back into the MacPro and it came on. Now if I can only figure out the HDMI tv signal I will be all set. Thank you all for your help.

Can a thunderbolt port take hdmi in?

Macbook Pro Early 2011 15" 10.9.2
If I were to take an Xbox 360 and plug it into a thunderbolt port via a thunderbolt to hdmi cable, could I run the display on my computer like a TV? Or does the thunderbolt only put display out?
Thanks.

Or does the thunderbolt only put display out?
THAT ^^

Why does my Vizio hdtv say no signal when I connect my minidisplay port to hdmi cord between my macbook pro and tv?

My Vizio hdtv says "No Signal" when I use my mini displayport to hdmi cord. It worked flawlessly for a month but randomly decided to no longer work.
I am using a macbook pro from early 2011 running os x Lion 10.7.5 and a thunderbolt to hdmi cord. The cord has worked without a hitch the numerous times I've used it until recently. Now plugging it in will cause the macbook to flash blue quicker than normal and immediately go back to the normal screen. I know the macbook recognizes the TV because changing the input on the TV to the hdmi connected to the computer will cause the macbook to flash blue again, with the same result. The TV remains unresponsive. I have tried all combinations of turning on and off the TV and macbook with the cord plugged in and unpugged from either and both systems and in both hdmi inputs on the TV. I've changed the display resolution to every possible option with no result. The TV is not recognized as a display on either the Display section of System Preferences or the Sound section.
It confounds me that the cord should work flawlessly until now, a month after buying it, for no apparent reason. I've been gentle with the cord, so the problem being a result of damage is unlikely. I had not updated my computer in any way between the successful and unsuccessful uses of the cord, but I have since updated my computer and the problem remains.
I have searched for this problem on the Internet and have seen others with similar problems, but I have not found a solution that resolves my problem. I hope to avoid having to make any additional purchases.
And a thousand and one thanks to any and all who help.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

Audio dropped out from thunderbolt cable to hdmi to monitor speakers

Audio was working fine from my Asus ve247 and my xbox plays it fine via hdmi so I know the monitor is still good. So this seems to have happened after an update.
I would like to know if there is anything I can do to restore the opportunity.

When something similar happened to me, I just restarted the Mac, then went to Sys Prefs >> Sound >> Output and all I had to do was choose HDMI. It was right there in the speakers list after the restart (with cable connected). Worked fine then. Did you try restarting with the hardware attached?

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.

Thunderbolt port not showing connected device

I'm trying to use my 2d iMac 27" as a second monitor. I have the two iMac's connected via thunderbolt ports systems do not show any devices connected to either port.
Also, CMD F2 function (Target Display Mode) is not working.
Has anyone else this problem?
Thanks

Thanks dastoelk & Russ,
That definitly sounds like the issue, but the only thing new on the drive since the last time I opened FCPX is some new P2 media that's buried in the "PROJECTS" folder and some NEFs from a school play I recently filmed, in the "Greater Tuna" folder. But I have other P2 media and NEFs on this drive that have been on it for a while. Also, forget to mention, runnig FCPX 10.0.9

MBA Thunderbold port to VGA projector. Lost touch pad pointer.

I used a minidisplay port to VGA adapter in the thunderbolt port. The projector recognizes the MBA and I can see the display preference panel on the projector screen. On the MBA screen I have lost the mouse pointer, but can see it on the projuected screen. How can I adjust the MBA screen to use the touch pad?
Thanks

It sound like the calibration screen and the touch "focus" has been shifted to the "primary" display - which is the last added display adapter. I don't have the setup to test, but you might be able to fix by selecting the Touch panel as the primary display (maybe). You may be stuck because the USB adapter will always be enumerated as the last device.
Perhaps...
1) Plug in USB adapter to enable display.
2) Go into display options and select Touchscreen as Primary and make sure "extend desktop" is unchecked.
You may also be able to trick the system by going into DM and removing reinstalling the real primary display adapter.
If all fails, you should be able to unplug the USB device and use MS system restore to go back when it was working properly.
Of course, I am saying all this without having the hardware in front ofme. I've played around with mutiple displays enough to know that you get into some funny behaviour when you have two distinct video adapters installed in the system. The best multi-display solution are those driven from one adapter - one video card with an HDMI and a DVI for example.
If you figure this out, please reply back. I'd like to know if it is possible to keep touch while using another adapter.

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
