Connecting macbook pro to cintiq 21 ux

is there an video adapter that'll work between the cintiq 21ux and the late 2008 macbook pro? i was wondering if there was a mini displayport to dvi-i adapter which it seems to need. thanks for your help

I just bought the new macbook pro uni body late 2008 model. Great until I hooked up the 21ux Cintiq. That is when my education began about dvi connections. It's turning out after numerous calls to Wacom/Apple and visits with a "genius'' at the genius bar that NO ONE knows how the resolve this. Wacom is sending me an updated dvi-i to dvi-d adapter cable that they now stock with new models as we thought it was an older dvi adapter that came with the 2007 cintiq 21ux. Apple is going to get back to me by tomorrow as they put my situation about this issue as urgent with the engineers at Apple and I will find out tomorrow if the dvi dual link adapter used for the 33" monitors (that I found out today is experiencing problems as well with the new mini display port) will resolve this problem. I have the 12" cintiq as well and works perfect with the macbook pro because it has a dvi-d plug. I even tried hooking the 21ux up to my macbook (white model, early 2008) and the there was no luck. So, as the genius at apple said...if it doesn't work, they will refund me fully and I'll just wait it out until Apple resolves this connection issue. But I will find out tomorrow if Apple can resolve this or whether there are any plans to resolve it...I'll keep you all posted....
BTW, it was admitted to me by Apple that really this is Apple responsibility to resolve as they were the ones introducing the new port design.

    How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

    Hi m,
    It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
    This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
    Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
    If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

    Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

    It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP.  If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.
    eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMI/
    Or you can get an all in one:

    If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6
    Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later.  Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.

    non support warning appears pn tv monitor

    However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
    Can you drag windows to the other display?
    In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

  • Update: audio problems connecting macbook pro to insignia TV: resolved

    There have been posts from users who have expressed frustration that they cannot get audio when they attempt to connect their macbook pro to an Insignia TV.
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=10830387
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192206
    Insignia customer service also attempts to state that the pre-April 2010 macbook pros cannot get audio output to the TV, because the units are designed to get the audio on the same HDMI and no alternative audio input is available on the TV.
    http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Televisions/Connecting-MacBook-Pro-to-T V/td-p/5564
    For the Insignia models (from 2010 onwards and possible some from 2009 as well), there is a simple workaround that does not seem to be published elsewhere on the internet (as far as I can see):
    Use the HDMI port 1 only (audio does not work with port 2, port 3 or port 4) to connect your macbook and you will receive 1080p video signal.
    Use a mini stereo audio cable (example link below) and connect your macbook audio output to a designated green color coded audio port on the TV located right next to the VGA. You will receive full stereo audio.
    Example link for mini stereo audio cable:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00116VJIO

    I recently acquired a new Insignia TV and had sound trouble.  I went to Best Buy to inquire about the cable in the link above and the sales manager had doubts.  He recommended a RCA cable with a male connection at both ends.  The RCA jack is on the bottom edge of the TV display next to the VGA connection.  The sound worked perfectly using the RCA cable from the headphone jack on the Mac.  I connected the video with a HDMI adapter from the monitor mirroring port.

  • Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
    Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
    What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
    Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
    Upgrade to Yosemite??

    Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

    Good luck.

  • HT201180 What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

    What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

    USB is the slowest. Firewire is faster. eSata is the fastest (and will be superceded by Thunderbolt).  The old Fire was 4 pin (Firewire 400 and is essentially obsolete), new is 9 pin, Firewire 800.  All of the will transmit data, simply a different speeds.
    For eSata connectivity, you MBP must have an express card slot (and the appropriate eSata connection card) and you external enclosure must have an eSata input.  eSata cables will only transmit data, therefor it will require power by Firewire or USB cables.
    Ciao.

  • Re:  Not getting audio from TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all correct cables.

    How do I get audio from the TV when connecting MacBook Pro with all the correct cables?

    Hi Lynn,
    If you're positive you have the correct cables, and positive they work, they must be plugged into an input on the TV made for that purpose, then that input must be selected on the TV's menu.

  • Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac...suggestions?

    Trying to connect Macbook Pro and IMac with Apple Remote desktop or a cable.  They do share a wifi router.
    Thanks much!

    not sure if you found an answer to this.  I just got a mb pro and want it to connect to my imac (late 2009).  I set up sharing on hte imac, file sharing and dvd/cd sharing.  from the mbpro i simply went to finder>go>connect to server.  I entered the name as on my imac (xxx.local) and immediately connected.  This was a massive help to me as I had some software (aperture, office for mac) that were on drive and the new mbpro doesn't have a disk drive.  through sharing I could access the disc drive remotely via my mbpro and load the software that way.  worked beautifully on my wifi (which is apple airport extreme). 
    Hope this helps.

  • MacBook Pro and Cintiq 12UX display problems?

    Hi,


    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so I'm sorry if it isn't - this is just the only place I could think of to ask about a display problem?
    I’ve just got the new model Cintiq 21UX, and I’m running it off one of the newer model MacBook Pro’s (using Apples adapter to connect the two).
    Everything seems to be working fine, although on the Cintiq’s screen I get flickering green pixels in darker areas of the screen? The confusing thing is it doesn’t happen all the time, it just seems to be the one particular ‘shade’ of dark grey/dark tones it happens on - an example is if I move an image around then its the same area of colour it has problems with across the screen, or if I zoom in the effected area gets bigger etc. I can also edit the colour to a slightly different shade and the problem stops so it can’t be a dead/frozen pixel. If I turn on the mirror display option it is still only the Cintiq display that is effected.
    I currently run the MacBook using the Nvidia 9600M GT, I did try switching to the 9400M but it made the situation a lot worse and caused green pixels lines to flash horizontally across the screen.
    I can save the image or drag the window that the problems happening on and drag it back to the MacBooks’ screen and there is no problem with the pixels there - it’s only on the Cintiq display.
    I was just wondering if this is either a fault with the Cintiq tablet itself, or possibly a problem with the MacBook?
    If it’s useful the spec of the MacBook is:

    Late 2008 unibody 15.4”
    Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & 9400M
    I’m not sure what other spec would be of use but if theres more I can let you know.
    Any help would be appreciated, as it works fine other than this occational green flicker, and it’ll cost me a lot to send of either the Cintiq or the MacBook off for a service or replacement in the UK?
    Cheers!

    It could just be bad. Do you have another computer to try it with?

  • Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect Macbook Pro (2009) for a presentation via projector.

    When I connect my Macbook Pro (2009 model) using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to display a presentation via projector, only the top-left portion of what is displayed on my Macbook Pro's screen is displayed on the projector, as though I zoomed in on that portion of my screen. The projector is on and the adapter and the cable that connects the adapter to the projector machine is correctly connected. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    Hi glraczon.support,
    It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.
    Here is an article that may help you with that process:

  • Connecting Macbook Pro to TV via S-Video or Composite video

    Hi,
    I own a Macbook Pro mid 2010 model, and I was wanting to connect it to my somewhat old TV. The TV itself has a input for S-video and the regular RCA composite inputs, no HDMI, VGA, or DVI. I purchased a miniDisplay Port to DVI adapter and a DVI to Video Adapter. I tried to get it to work but to my dismay it didn't because the number of pins between the 2 adapters were different (something about DVI-I and DVI-D). But although I am not too happy about wasting my money I still want to connect my macbook to my TV. Is there anyway I can get that to happen? I also have to miniDisplay port to VGA adapter if that makes a difference.
    Thanks,
    Teague
