Mini displayport it's compatible with thunderbolt?

Hey people, please help with this little problem

You can use your existing MiniDisplay Port adapters and plug into the Thunderbolt port.

  • Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

    Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
    If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
    and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
    Good luck Derek

  • Any Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio for macbook pro mid 2009

    connecting MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to Hisense TV with audio?!?!!?
    hello everyone.
    if anyone is familar with successfully getting the older macbook pros that dont support audio out to stream and preform digital audio on a TV or has any helpful information that will get me familiar with trying to successfully stream audio and visual. and can PLEASE HELP ME in any way to understand what they know and teach me how to solve my problem id really appreciate it.
    i want to connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to my Hisense LED LCD TV, ModelNumber:40H3E  and getting digital audio sound from my TV as well as video, but have no clue on how or where to even start to successfully pairing the two and getting sound.
    I own a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) this MacBook model doesnt support an HDMI port. My MacBooks model has the Mini Displayport which supports video out but does not support audio out. Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?
    i have NO expierence with the proccess have NO knowledge about any of this or these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters with audio. i have no idea what kind of adapter and HDMI cord to buy that will give me sound from my tv for my type of macbook. '
    im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
    just please give me anything you can on this topic
    thank you so much,

    With a 2009 MacBook Pro, you need to use two connections to your TV: one for video and another one for audio.  The miniDisplayPort on the 2009 models does not support audio, so you need a separate audio cable:
    miniDisplayPort adapter for video - I use the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI adapter + a DVI-HDMI cable like this one
    audio cable for audio - use a 3.5mm male stereo-to-2xRCA male cable like this one
    Connect the miniDisplayport adapter + DVI/HDMI cable to your MacBook Pro's miniDisplayPort output and the HDMI input on your TV
    Connect the audio cable to your MacBook Pro's audio out and your TV's audio in
    The only potential gotcha is if your Hisense TV requires audio via the HDMI cable when you use an HDMI cable.  The H3e user manual is unclear about this.

  • Is MacBook compatible with Thunderbolt?

    Is MacBook compatible with thunderbolt?

    All MacBook Pros made after February 2011 have Thunderbolt but the question was about MacBooks not MacBook Pros. MacBooks were discontinued before the Thunderbolt interface was developed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_%28interface%29

  • Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter & other thunderbolt devices

    I currently use the mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter so that I can work on a large external vga monitor.
    Will this work if the adapter terminates the chain or will I need to connect the adapter directly to the laptop thus preventing me from using any thunderbolt devices?

    I was just thinking.. It is possible that belkin is support the miniDisplay in that port as well.
    Yeah, that was my thinking as well...
    The matrox dock is going to have DVI on it, but it doesn't support chaining (i.e. it only has 1 TB port)
    Does your external monitor support DVI - let me go look at the Matrox - ugh - don't like it compared to the Belkin.
    They're BOTH expensive and, as I don't believe that either is shipping, I'd have to wait on someone else to do the beta testing.
    I've never tried a USB>DVI adapter - here are a few from my favorite adapter/cable company, though.
    Good luck,

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with sound

    There are 2 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters that combine sound into the HDMI signal, http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=5969&seq=1&format=2 (one that uses USB for the audio) and http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=6331&seq=1&format=2 (one that uses the mini TOSLink for the sound). The USB sound one is cheaper, but does it output a true 5.1 signal? I know the more expensive TOSLink one will, but if possible I'd like to get the cheaper adapter. If it outputs a 5.1 signal, I can get the USB sound adapter, otherwise I'll get the pricier TOSLink one. Thanks, Zach

    Only the adapter with Toslink can supports the 5.1 Channel audio. You can get the product through the Link: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    There is more helpful information on its site and has Youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc1zI7LMlls

  • Problem: Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter with Samsung Syncmaster 2033HD

    Hi,
    I am using the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter to connect to a Samsung Syncmaster 2033HD
    However, I get No Signal with DVI as the Source.
    It works when plugged into the DVI slot of the Mac Pro.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Chad

    DisplayPort and its variant Mini DisplayPort, use a new and different protocol for communicating with your display.
    A properly-functioning adapter can request the DisplayPort use "Dual-Mode", which produces a good approximation of single-Link DVI/HDMI. This is good for resolutions up to 1920 wide, which would include your Samsung (1600 by 900).
    Wider displays require a more expensive "active" "powered" converter, to convert DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI.
    So if the display works with a straight DVI connection, but not a DisplayPort adaptation to "Dual Mode" DVI the weak link appears to be the adapter, but you cannot quite rule out the display card.

  • Is the Mini DisplayPort the same as the Thunderbolt port?

    I need to know, because I'd like to mirror my computer to my TV.

    Niel's answer assumes you meant 'Thunderbolt" when you wrote "lightning bolt." I thought you were referring the the Lightning port on an iDevice. However, if you meant Thunderbolt, then it is the same as the Mini-DisplayPort's connector.

  • Vivitar Mini Digital Camera not compatible with iMac?

    I bought this Vivitar Mini Digital Camera the other day, and it came with software that isn't compatible with my computer. I checked out a few boards, and a few more boards, only to find out that other people with Macs were having the same problem. No one really had a solution for this problem. I connected the USB cable, and tried to see if maybe iPhoto or Image Capture would allow me to import photos. Neither one would. The software that came with the camera say "Arcsoft Photo Impression4.0". On one of the message boards, I remember someone posting something about not to even bother downloading it online because it wouldn't work. I looked on Google for hours, and can't seem to find anyone with answers. Thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone can help. If not, guess I'm returning the camera!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Does the camera have a removable memory card? If so then use a card reader with it and iPhoto will import them.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I bought the mini displayport to hdmi adapter with the cable

    (the ethernet high speed one that connects to the mini displayport) to connect to my sony bravia...and all I see is the Apple purple sky....why won't it work?

    What are you expecting to see? The same images you see on the notebook screen or something different?
    Sounds like you have the external screen set to act as a secondary screen (extend the desktop), but want it to mirror the main screen. You can control that in System Preferences > Displays.

  • Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

    The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

  • HT204154 Is new 12 inch MB compatible with thunderbolt display??

    so how will I be able to use my Thunderbolt display (currently used with a 2011 MBA) with the new 12 inch MB (just announced)? My thunderbolt display is a 2011 model

    thanks Matt - not even with adaptors? Is it that the actually AV o/t is TB only?
    Problem is a love the new MB and it fits my requirements really well (I travel a lot and don't need massive processor grunt)
    Any monitors you'd recommend for the MB?  Guess next generation apple display will be USB-C compliant
    Many thanks for your assistance

  • Is the time capsule compatible with thunderbolt?

    Thinking of getting a new iMac for Xmas and the 3 TB Time Machine with builtin router. My question is can I connect the new Time Machine to my Mac via the thunderbolt port and access my data even faster?

    Gigabit ethernet is way faster than the data can be streamed off the hard disk. Typical hard disk speed can be seen in the review here.
    http://www.anandtech.com/show/4577/airport-extreme-5th-gen-and-time-capsule-4th- gen-review-faster-wifi-/7
    Just over 80MB/s is well within gigabit capability.
