You can use a HDMI cable.  The adapter you need depends on the age of your MacBook Pro.

  • How to connect my MacBook Pro to my Apple HiFi speakers

    I have the big white Apple HiFi speakers, and I am wondering what lead would I need to connect it up to my MacBook?
    It only has a 'power' and an 'audio in' socket. So I'm wondering what wire I would need to connect the computer to the hifi. I have already read that getting an AirPort base station would work, but I can't really afford that, so using a wire is my only option at the moment.
    Advice would be really appreciated! Thanks

    You would use whatever wire goes into the audio in, I would assume it would be a 3.5mm jack, in which case you would just need a 3.5 to 3.5mm audio cable. The easy way to tell is - is the audio in hole the same size as your MacBooks headphone hole?

    The yellow RCA jack is called "NTSC Analog Composite Video", or "Video" for short. You need an adapter to "Video".

    hello how to connect my macbook pro to my car cd player

    If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP.  I do question the practicality of doing so.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

    2009 MBP is not supported for native AirPlay Mirroring.  Sorry.
    There are a couple of other pay-for apps that do this, but they're not as good... some people have had success.

  • How can connect my Macbook Pro to a TV Monitor ?

    How can i connect my MacBook Pro to a TV monitor other way than 15 pin cable ?

    I would check out Monoprice. I bought this cable for my late 2011 MBP - it attaches to a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort and then out to HDMI. It's just a small adapter - under $7 - and worked quite well for me. You'll have to get a HDMI cable of your desired length to work with it. I also suggest using Monoprice for HDMI cables - they've excellent quality and low prices.

  • How to connect a MacBook Pro to internet with no cable, no Wifi, no ADSL?

    I'll need to connect my MacBook Pro to internet in an environment without any of the above mentioned means.
    1. What are the possibilities? GSM (mobile phone), a modem (express card?)?
    2. Where can I find the information on how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    You can use a mobile phone as a modem. This can be done manually by yourself or automatic by a commercial third party software:
    Manual: you need the right scripts and connection settings and enter them manually in your network configurations. You find the right scripts and configuration hints here: http://www.taniwha.org.uk
    Automatic: try the demo of launch2net at http://www.launch2net.com which features a powerful configuration assistant which already includes all necessary network settings and scripts.
    The other option would be to use the XU 870 ExpressCard modem from Novatel at http://www.novatelwireless.com. If you are living in the USA and use Cingular, Apple has released a so called WWAN update with all settings. So you can use this ExpressCard in Cingular networks immediatly.
    Thank you

  • How to connect my macbook pro to LDC television

    I have a macbook pro 13-inch, mid 2012 model.
    I have an LCD television of 32 inch from panasonic (TH-L32C8K).
    My TV does not have hdmi port but have vga and AV ports.
    To connect to Macbook I bought an thunderbolt to hdmi cable. Then I bought an hdmi to vga cable. So my final arrangement is like this
    Macbook<-->thunderbolt-to-hdmi-cable<-->hdmi-to-vga-cable<-->Television
    On the television i changed to AV mode to PC. But nothing is shown on the tv screen. My TV works with other thing. When i connect the macbook pro, it does not show anything. Can you guys suggest whats going wrong? Before buying this macbook, i was like dreaming about it. But now life became so hard using the mac. Everything is pricy and not compatible to outside world devices.

    That's a complete mess and I am not suprised that it is not working.
    Instead of getting two adapters, you could just get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a simple VGA cable, so you can be sure it will work. Maybe you should have looked for more information before purchasing anything.

    Have you enabled Home Sharing in iTunes?
    Clearly the MBP and AppleTV need to see each other on the Local Network.
    Presumably they are all connecting via the same router.
    Check if you have any security software running that might be blocking communication if you have already enabled Home Sharing on the MBP.

  • How to connect new Macbook pro 2014 to iMac 2010 for a secondary display

    I have a new Macbook Pro 2014 and an old iMac 2010. How can I connect them to have an additional secondary display? I thought I would need a thunderbolt cable with a Thunderbolt to Mini DisplayPort adapter but I can't find that. There's lots of options and I don't understand what would be best.
    Macbook Pro 2014
    iMac 2010
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Nathaniel,
    Thunderbolt is another way of calling it a Mini Displayport, thunderbolt is just faster and has more usage with other products (i.e. hdds, displays etc.) You can hook up a thunderbolt to a mini-display port because both are the same size and serve the same function. Just don't connect anything to the display port on the iMac other than a computer.
    Kind Regards,
