Need a mini display port and audio to HDMI adapter for mid 2009 13" macbookpro

Can some body recomend an adapter cable that plugs into the audio (mid 2009 MacBookPro 13") and mini display port and outputs to HDMI with audio and video all together for a TV?  I would rather not run a separate audio cable in addition to the HDMI cable.

  • Does mini display port support audio to hdmi?

    hi
    i have macbook 5.1 unibody aluminium. i am wondering if the mini display port would be able to pass through audio to hdmi?
    thanks

    No, you need to run your audio separately from the headphone jack to an audio in port on the TV.

  • Does mini display port support audio on my Imac? Late 2009

    Hello,
    I would like to connect my Imac to my home entertainment system.  I have the late 2009 21.5" model.  If I get a mini display port to HDMI adapter will that run both audio and video for me or do I have to run seperate audio?
    Thanks!

    The good news is Yes.  You just barely made it, support for audio over MDP is:
    iMac (Late 2009) and later.
    Make sure to buy a MDP to HDMI adapter that supports audio.  It should say this explicitly like this one.

    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

  • I have lost all sound on macbook pro 10.6 and in ITunes can no longer play any cinema or tv shows purchased.  I believe it may have been caused by recent use of mini-display port   Toslink Audio to the TV.  What can be done?

    I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
    Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
    of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
    I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
    using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
    I use this device occasionally and haven't had any  problems til now.
    Any suggestions to right the problem?.

    In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
    You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
    Good luck,

  • HDMI, Mini Display Port and Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    After reading about numerous issues concerning the Mini Display Port and Mountain Lion, I'm trying to discuss it here with you all to see if there is any solution.
    I have a MacBook Pro (2009), and used it with my TV (HDMI cable + Mini display port adaptor) with Plex media center back when it was on OS X Lion. It was very convenient because as a portable computer, it could easily be set near the TV and allow the use of a remote to sit in the couch and stream media from the Time Capsule… without the help of any expansive box. Perfect setup I've had for over a year.
    The thing is, since I've upgraded to Mountain Lion, when I try to connect the MacBook Pro to the TV, the screen turns blue as if it was calculating the resolution of the monitor so… ok. Until it comes back, and nothing changed either on the MacBook Pro screen or on the TV.
    Harware side, I've tried with the computer open, closed, I've checked every port and connection on both computer, TV and adaptor.
    Software side, what I find really annoying in Mountain Lion is that they completely ditched every monitor setting as long as nothing is connected — and even if the Mini DP is connected… the Mac thinks it's not. I even tried to reset the PRAM. This is a nightmare.
    I've tried to do the same with my iMac (mid 2011), and it all worked properly. What I can't explain is why it works on my iMac and not on the MBP… as they have the same configuration !
    I don't know if Apple is outcasting old devices so people buy new Apple stuff or if they ditched the HDMI out on certain (old) devices on purpose so users replace it by the new airplay mirroring feature and buy the Apple TV. I won't, because let's say it's a total crap compared to other media center solutions. And I'm bored of Apple.
    Please, HELP NEEDED ! Has anyone had the same issue ? I bet you have ! Now how can we solve that ?
    Thank you for your time.

    EDIT : stopped working on iMac too… then update 10.8.2 fixed the issue. Now it works. Thanks Apple for temporarily removing some features ! It's just so ANNOYING.
    Hope you gonna stay with the few we have left on Mac and stop removing things randomly. Not event talking about the pro environment (designers, developpers, etc.) that is almost gone. 2 years and our macs will be tablets. Careful with the old clients… it's been almost 10 years I'm on a Mac and I've never been so unhappy.

  • HI, I am trying to connect my macbook pro,  18 months old, to a projector using the mini display port and a cable/connector to a VGA port on the back of the projector.  It all fits but the there is nothing happening? no mirroring option. Any ideas?

    to get to the Detect Displays button you have to hold down the Option key and the button appears.

  • Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter: No image with 3840x1200

    Hi!
    I ordered the Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter regardless of the many complaints that it's not working in order to connect my new MacBook Pro to my Matrox TripleHead2Go. This Graphics Expansion Module normally allows to use two 1920x1200 monitors when connected to Dual-Link DVI (3840x1200). It works fine on my old MacBook Pro (with Dual-Link DVI output), but with my new MacBook Pro the first monitor just turns black and the second tells "Out of Range" when using the Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI adapter.
    When I am reducing the resolution to 3360x1050 (2x1680x1050) it works, but this is not the native resolution of my two 24'' monitors and therefore is useless.
    The Matrox Support only told me that the new MacBook Pro with Mini Display Port is not supported, but as it's working for 2x1680x1050 with the Dual-Link DVI adapter, I was wondering if the Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter could be the problem.
    Any input welcome.
    Thank you in advance.
    Cheers,
    Matthias

    Hi, Matt, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The Matrox Support only told me that the new MacBook Pro with Mini Display Port is not supported, but as it's working for 2x1680x1050 with the Dual-Link DVI adapter, I was wondering if the Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter could be the problem.
    I suspect that what Matrox Support meant when they said "not supported" was, in fact, "not supported": i.e., they've tried it and it doesn't work satisfactorily. You've tried it too, and found that to be true. Now you just need to come to terms with the fact. Matrox is quite open about it; it's not a secret. See the 9400M/9600MGT MacBook Pro entry in this compatibility table from Matrox's web site:

  • Macbook Pro with Retina wont detect monitor on mini display port to dual-link dvi adapter

    So after reading Jeff Atwood's post, I decided to jump and give it a shot. So this week I got my monitor in from Korea, and I already had my Apple mini display port to dual-link dvi adapter, hooked everything up - and nothing. Monitor doesnt show a signal, and no display shows up in user preferences.
    To verify the monitor actually works, i plugged it into my windows box - and boom, right away there it is in all its glory. So I called apple support, after spending about an hour going through the "are you sure its plugged in stuff", the tech finally admitted to being stumped and blamed the adapter. Not to be deterred, I then went to my local apple store and talked them into trying their adapter to rule out the adapter - regardless of the adapter, the mbp wont detect the monitor.
    Just for fun, i tried my old single mini displayport to single dvi, the monitor is recognized, but that obviously cant drive the right resolution, so i just get a backlight. Same deal when i try the hdmi port with a hdmi to dual-link dvi adapter on the end of it. Also tried display port to the same hdmi with adapter on it (the joys of working in a dev shop - cables to test everywhere)
    I have read / tried a ton of things:
    re-installed / uninstalled air display, just to be sure it was gone. went through all my apps just to see if there is anything like this i could think would be effecting it
    install gfxCardStatus to ensure i am on the nvidia (discrete) and not the internal card
    Played with different settings on SwitchResX to try to force the res over hdmi - no love - os rejected each one
    I bought the monoprice adapter wondering if it was just the apple adapter since the apple adapter has been panned, no love from it either
    Reset the PRAM countless times
    I have two other adapters coming in to test with in a day or two - maybe one of those will be magic, but at this point i kinda think its software on the mac. My Spec:
    I am running Mountain Lion with all the latest updates
    New MBP with Retina (2.6g processor, 16gig ram, nvidia video card)
    Here is the ebay link to the monitor
    Now the other weird thing is pretty much universally these auctions say the monitors cant be run on a laptop - which makes no sense to me, because its just a connection, if the video card is strong enough (which my machine better be) it shouldnt matter the source. The listing mentions its a "by-pass" monitor, which is something I and google have never heard of.
    So any sage words to make my day?

    Magic was, I have to have the adpter plugged into the mac, let it recognize all with the monitor powered off.
    then power on the monitor, and boom gloriousness
    For future generations, setup that works:
    1) MacBook Pro with Retina
    2) Monitor From Korea (example auction)
    3) Accell Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Active adapter (amazon)
    4) Boot mac, plug in adapter, let it recognize the monitor, power on monitor

  • I am trying to connect my mac book pro to the tv via a mini display port and a hdmi cable, the only picture that is on the tv screen is the background picture on my computer, any suggestions?

    I am trying to connect my mac book pro to the tv via a mini displayport to a hdmi cable, the only picture on the tv screen is the background picture of my mbp, does anyone know what I need to connect to my samsung tv ?

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

  • Does the Mini Display port carry audio?

    I am trying to setup a collaboration centre in my school where I would have 4 macbook pros attached to a TV. http://i53.tinypic.com/jkdduw.jpg
    I was going to buy a KMV and Audio switch to connect all the laptops to the TV but then it occurred to me that the TV has 4 HDMI ports. HDMI carries audio... I found a mini display to HDMI adapter online.
    Now I need to know if the Mini Display Port on the newest model of MacBook Pro 13" carries audio?
    It is my understanding that the specs for Mini Display say that it is possible. The question is did apple implement it?
    Does anyone know?

    Yes - See Apple's document here.

  • I am trying to connect mbp to tv using mini display port and HDMI cable TVtuned tocorrect port as shows Mac wallpaper (purple star scene) but does not show what is on MBP.  What can I try so that I can see mbp display on TV?

    What do I needto do to connect a tv as an external display for my mbp using a mini display port to hdmi cable.  I have tried display without success.  tv is receiving a signal as displays apples default wallpaper when connected but nothing from screen of mbp.

    Soundls like it is working. Try dragging a window on the MBP to the edge of the screen and see if it appears on the TV.
    There are two ways to set up the TV one is to mirror the MBP display and the other is to be an extension of the MBP's screen.
    You change the settings in System Preference->Display

  • How do Dual Monitor with my Mac Book Pro (Boot camped with Windows 8) through my mini display port VIA Thunderbolt to a iMac (Model Mid 2011)?

    So I have a Mac Book Pro with a bootcamp Windows 8. I dual monitor on the Mac side with my Mid 2011 iMac through my mini display port via thunder bolt cable. In my perfect world, I would be able to switch to the Windows side and have the iMac mirror or extend my windows display for my gaming pleasure, etc. I'm not sure if it's just a simple driver or that it cannot be done.
