Do I have a mini display port?

Hello - would anyone be able to confirm if I have a mini display port? I think I only have Thunderbolt but am really not sure, am clearly quite silly!
Would appreciate help. I have an iMac which I bought in Sept 2011 and it uses Mac OS X......but you will already know this. Oh, and it is 21"
Thanks
Pandora

Okay - I have a feeling that the mini display and thunderbolt port are the same??

    There is a little white bar. When you have your TV connected, move the white bar to the other display. Your main desktop is now the TV screen

  • Does the new iMac that arrives in December have a mini-display port?

    I can't seem to find the answer because the website and the apple store app do not agree. Does it come with a video in/out port like the previous versions?

    I don't know what you are using for an Apple Store "app" but for what it's worth the specifications for the new iMac indicate two Thunderbolt ports.
    Thunderbolt is compatible with MiniDP and uses the same connector.

  • Can i connect thunderbolt duo hard drive to the mini display port of a late 2008 macbook pro which do not have thunderbolt port, but have mini display port.

    hi, i have a late 2008 15 inch macbook pro, which have a mini display port.
    I noticed that thunderbolt and mini display port looks a like. So, my question is :
    can i connect thunderbolt duo hard drive to the mini display port of a late 2008 macbook pro which do not have thunderbolt port, but have mini display port.
    thank you

    ken94538,
    no, you’d need a Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter or Thunderbolt-to-USB adapter to be able to access your Thunderbolt hard drive from your 2008 MacBook Pro.

  • How can I connect a new mac mini to my old vga monitor? There doesn't seem to be a mini display port

    I have an old monitor with VGA port, and was wondering if anyone knows how to connect this to the new mac mini. Older mac minis have the mini display port, and if that were the case I would use the mini display port to VGA adapter, but this new mac mini doesn't have one. It just has the thunderbolt port or HDMI port for displays... I've been looking for an adapter to connect my display to one of these but cannot seem to figure it out. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    The Thunderbolt port is the one to use; you use the same mini-DisplayPort adapter you used for the older minis.
    Regards.

  • How do I  connect MacBook Pro without mini-display port to my HDMI TV?

    I have a MacBook Pro computer purchased around 2008. I want to connect it to my Panasonic HDMI TV; however, this MacBook Pro doesn't have a mini-display port. Is there a work around? I would like audio & video.
    Thanks so much in advance for any help.

    You will need a [DVI-to-HDMI adapter|http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902&pid=2029&seq=1&format=2], a standard HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your TV set, and an audio cable with a headphone plug on one end to connect to your MBP's headphone port and two RCA plugs on the other to connect your your TV's audio inputs. I know of no way you can get audio into the HDMI cable.

  • Connect mini dvi to mini display port

    I have recently I have brought a new macbook which has a mini DVI port to connect external monitors and I also work with IMac which have a mini display port attached. I would like to know if there is a way of attaching the macbook (with mini dvi) to an IMac (with a mini display port) to use as an external monitor.
    I ask this because I have also brought a mini DVI to mini DVI cable to then find that this does not fit in to the IMacs which I would like to use as a monitor.

    right now, there aren't any options to do this with the mini DVI port. might be able to try using the DVI adapters & then connect them with a DVI cable but I have my doubts it will work as the adapters only output, pretty sure they won't take input.

  • Mini display port to HDMI adapter not working

    I can not get my MacBook OS X to dispaly on my new Samsung LED TV. I have a mini display port to HDMI adapter (two years old) conneted with an HDMI cable (new) into the HDMI input on the TV. I tried both inputs, tried resetting the TV, plugging, unplugging, restarting, checked all my system preferences...I can not figure it out. I took my cables to a local store, tested the HDMI cable, and it works. Tested the adapter and they had the same problem I have on my Mac. The screen will flash blue when you plug it in, but will not show up in the TV. I think the adapter must be bad, nothing else makes sense???

    Hi Kater24,
    Apple doesn't make a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so the one you've got there is a 3rd party one that's designed to work with the Mini DisplayPort on your Apple computer. The adapter is pretty much plug-n-play, there's no configuration necessary. Plug it into the machine, the HDMI cable from the other end of the adapter into your TV, select the HDMI input on your TV and fire up the computer.
    If that's not working it's possibly an issue with the adapter and/or cable to the TV. Any chance you might have access to another TV for troubleshooting purposes?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
    This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video
