Ps3/Xbox connect to the macbook pro retina display

is it possible to connect a PS3/XBox to the new 2012 macbook pro with retina display?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's not possible. The only Macs that allow you to do it are the Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and you need a special adapter to connect your PlayStation to these iMacs. As the MacBook Pro doesn't support Target Display mode, you can't use it as a display for the PlayStation

Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.
This one will work: Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support

HT3382 Connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor?

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to connect from a MacBook Pro's mini display port to a Display Port monitor with resolutions higher than 1920 x 1200? It seems Apple does not supply a mini-DP to DP adapter.
However, just as they do not make a mini-DP to HDMI adapter, but they do recommend a Belkin product for this purpose.
Is there any reason that a mini-DP to DP adapter or cable wouldn't work and support high resolutions?
Thanks for your feedback!

Hey tjk,
Thanks for the response.
Do you have any recommendations for a potential set up? The audio output and Apple DVI are on different sides of my MBP, which is alright, I guess I can get two long cables to handle each. I was hoping to just have my MBP closer to where I use it, with a cord nearby plugged in on one side to the HDTV and resting near where I keep my MBP for when I want to use the HDTV as an external monitor.
With a converter like this, you can run video out of the MBP's DVI port, and miniToslink (optical) audio out of the 3.5mm stereo mini jack to the converter, then it will combine the two and output audio and video through HDMI to the monitor.

Otherwise, depending on the TV's inputs, for video you could run DVI to DVI on the TV, or DVI to HDMI to the TV. For audio you could run 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the MBP to RCA adapter on the TV. Toslink/optical is also an option.

HDMI failure on MacBook Pro Retina Display

When I connect my MacBook Pro Retina Display (late Aug 2012) with HDMI cable to my HD TV their both screens turn blue and the Mac needs reboot. I used that same TV with my 3 yo MacBook Pro to watch over the HDMI (with some extra cabling) and it was fine. Why is it happening this now with the New Retina dispaly?

Hey, I have the same problem too. It is making me angry. Both my thunderbolt outputs work, but the hdmi freezes both screens. I then have to shut the computer off by holding the power button and re-boot. Have you found a solution? I NEED my hdmi port. Please get back to me. Thanks!

This article may provide some information about your Mini DisplayPort to AVI adapter. Have you tried to connect a different VGA monitor to your Macbook to see if you get the same results?

18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....

You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

Microsoft Remote Desktop fails connecting to a 4k Laptop from a MacBook Pro Retina Display

Hi there
I'm struggling because I'm trying to use my MacBook Pro Retina display to connect to a Lenovo Laptop that has a higher resolution.
The RDC simple does not work and when it does, the scale is too big to do something and gets disconnected in minutes...
Any hint?
Thanks.

Hi,
It seems that MBP retina has high PPI resolution so that when accessing with normal MRD it will display blur or stretch the screen. Might due to that reason it can disconnect the screen also. For this you can try to use URI scheme where you can manually add
the width and height for the screen and check result.
You can check beneath article.

Macbook pro retina display wifi connection problem.

Macbook pro Retina display - 3 weeks old - connects erratically to home wifi over Airport Express
iphone and iMac connects to the same wifi network. I am connecting through iphone hot spot to write this question. please help.

I have posted my solution i.e. update airport utility software. Ocourse you needa working internet connection for that!
I have a 27 inch imac, mac book pro, mac book pro with retina display, iphone 4, iphone 4s, 2 x iphone 5. Each device was showing erratic internet connections at some point in time or the other.
I just updated Airport Utility Software. You can find it in Applications/Utilities. When you click on Airport utilities, it opens a window with 2 icons. The bottom icon will look like your airport express. click on that and then you will get info on the right. If , I repeat if, your Airport utility software requires updation, you will be prompted in the info box. Click that and then you will be fine.
However, the irony is that you need an internet connection for this. I set up a hot spot on my phone and did it.

Will a superdrive connected to USB on Airport Extreme be accessable via Wifi with a Macbook Pro Retina display?

I would like to connect 2 external drives to my Airport Extreme.

Can't connect my 2009 macbook pro to new 2011 LG TV

I just got a new LG LED LCD TV and I'm trying to connect my 2009 macbook pro to it. I bought a Belkin Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter at the Apple Store. I also bought the Apple HDMI to HDMI 1.8m cable to connect the computer to the TV. I set up the video fine by using System Preferences-Display. Unfortunately, the sound does not work though. I bought a Dynex stereo mini to RCA "Y" cable to connect my computer's head phone jack to the Audio In RGB/DVI port on my TV. The problem is that I can only get sound to work when I set the input on my TV to AV1. I can only get the video to work when I have the input set to HDMI/DVI. I need to be able to get them to work simultaneously. Can anyone offer me some advice?

Unfortunately, you won't find your TV audio in the System Pref > Sound section. Macbook pro's, before 2010, don't have the ability to send and audio signal through the mini display port. They can only send video. Apple added the new hardware for audio in the 2010 models. You have to use a seperate audio cable from your MBP earphone jack and plug it into your TV. This can be a problem sometimes too. Depending on your TV. I ran an HDMI cable to my TV and I plug my MBP earphone jack into my portable Bose player. That works pretty good.
I think you need to go into System Preferences>Sound, and make sure the output is through the Headphone Port.
