HT204392 How do I connect my iMac (late 2012) to my hdtv?

Sorry, it probably sounds liek a ridiculous question...but I've tried researching on my own and just get confused!! My tv has usb, hdmi and dvi capability....my desktop has thunderbolt, ethernet and usb...none of these match except the usb and I'm pretty sure that won't work...HELP!

You need one of these and an HDMI cable. You can get cheaper ones than this but be sure to get one with Audio support.

  • Recently I bought a mini DVI to HDMI converter  from eBay for my iMac 21.5 Mid 2011, but only later I realised that it does not have the mini DVI port in that. How can I connect my iMac to a LG smart TV through a HDMI cable?

    This is the picture of all the ports from my iMac
    This is the mini DVI to HDMI converter which I bought from ebay. And I have the HDMI cable to connect it to my TV
    Could anyone please suggest me a solution how I could connect my iMac to the LG smart TV? Also I need to know if this transmits the audio as well to the smart TV?
    Suggestions are welcomed. I really appreciate and thank you for your time

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

  • How do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    how do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    Hey rodskc10,
    Thanks for the question! Based on the iMac model and TV you have, you’ll need to pick up a compatible cable. There are a few options that can be found on the Apple Online Store:
    Mac Cables - Computer Audio & Video Adapters, Network Cables & More - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables#!
    For example, if you have the latest iMac and an HDTV, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable should do the job (you’ll connect this to the Thunderbolt port, which is backwards compatible with mini DisplayPort).
    For additional information, see this article:

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.

  • How to i connect my imac and my macbook so there doncuments are up to date

    how do i connect my imac and my macbook so they are in sync and up to date with the same documents?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    There isn't a way to connect both Macs with a cable to keep your documents updated on them. However, if you need all your documents updated on both Macs, you can use a cloud service as iCloud or Dropbox to sync your documents. Preferably, I recommend Dropbox because it can sync all type of files between both computers > http://www.dropbox.com
    Another thing you can do is to buy an external disk and put your documents here

  • I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection

    I have a brand new iMac (late 2012) that keeps losing its internet connection - like every five minutes. I have had it for three weeks. During the first two weeks, it worked flawlessly. However, just as the refund period ended - it became desktop dead weight. Suggestions?

    did u ever get a solution to this?  I have the same 2012 mines 27". It drops after sleep sometimes and can't find anything. Wifi. Connection to the Internet. I pull up network assistant it just gives me blank stares and restart everything. It doesn't even see the time machines and they are still there. I have it right now in full error and my iphones allowing me to see everything as connected and I'm posting here in the forum while my iMac cannot. Doesn't happen all the time. Not sure why it happens or what's goinng on with It. Works great and then sudden wifi failure to recognize.

  • How to install windows xp on new imac (late 2012)

    I just bought new 27 IMAC (late 2012) and want to install my Windows XP. Is it possible??

    I don't think so: I used Win XP on Parallels Desktop in an iMac late 2012 21'. I wanted to use video editing programs, because I have severals old video projects to finish them. I used Pinnacle Studio 9 and 12, I wanted to get out the results and it was an horror: Those programs need competent videocards and no a virtualization of anyone. So all the time I've lost editing my videos I'm afraid is lost time of my life . However, for lighter tasks, Virtual programs are appropiate to use.
    I hope this information be useful for someone.
    Greetings.

  • How can I input stereo audio to a iMac late 2012?

    I can't wee where I can input stereo audio to my iMac (lat 2012) so that I can save the digitized audio to the music library.

    I have one of these (iMic)... Sometimes I need to get a song off of a cassette and this does the job.
    USB Audio Interface: iMic lets Mac and PC users add stereo input and output to USB computers — even computers that lack audio-in or -out ports.

  • Imac late 2012 problems with motu ultralite mkIII through thunderbolt to firewire

    first - hi @all users here in the forum.
    i have a really curious problem with my audio configuration. at first i must say the audio-config. with my macbook pro (mid 2010) and my imac (early 2008) works fine without problems by using firewire.
    but not on my imac (late 2012). there is a static, high frequently noise on my monitors. and i don't find the reason for that problem. i have delete alle the audio drivers and make a fresh install. reset the nvram and pram with holding the power key and so on. two weeks ago i have contacted apple care and send the imac to the next service provider. first i think for a defect power-supply. but the provider located only a defect ram. they change it and send me the imac back.  but nothing has changed. if i heard about the defect ram from the provider i know this couldn't never ever the reason for that problem.
    i hope anyone can help a little bit by this problem...thank you.
    here is my hardware setup:
    - imac late 2012,"27 3.2ghz core i5 processor, 8 gb ram, 1tb fusion drive (osx 10.8.5)
      -> connected over the thunderbolt to firewire adapter to
       - the motu ultralite mkiii
         -> connected to the yamaha hs80 with balanced cables

    the static, high frequently noise on the right is stronger than on the left.

    If yes, please describe how it can be done?
    Thanks

    Nope, you are describling Target Display Mode. Please read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and you will see the other device (in your case a Raspberry Pi) has to have a Thunderbolt port that supports TDM.
