Please can someone tell me what cable I need to connect my Macbook Pro 15'' Retina display to a Yamakasi Catleap Monitor?

Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro 15'' Retina and I'm thinking of getting a Yamaksai Catleap Monitor, please can someone tell me the best way to connect this? Do I need a thunderbolt to DVI connector, or Thunderbolt to VGA? Im assuning the former would be superior! Please can someone advise?
Thanks very much in advance,
Cheers,
Guy

Hello, 
Some UK links... You can use any of the following to get the video signal out of the iMac and into a standard format:
Mini DVI - DVI
Mini DVI - VGA
Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
The DVI will give you best quality, but VGA will be simpler. The DVI to HDMI connector is:
Buy a DVI to HDMI connector (link). Long HDMI cables are pretty expensive though.
Although HDMI can handle sound as neither DVI, MiniDVI nor VGA do you'll need to connect the sound separately. Simply connect the sound out on the iMac to the input on the TV using a cable like this:
3.5mm to RCA.
If you use the miniDVI to VGA connector here's a long VGA cable (link).
All Macs since about 1999 have had +DVD Player+ installed. I'm not at my Mac right now to check Front Row in Leopard but Front Row in Tiger certainly played DVDs (but +DVD Player+ is a better, more flexible DVD Player).
cheers

    Please can someone tell me what is going on when I get this message for the Time Capsule?

    Yes, this is because Lion or ML which you are using have lousy networking.
    The trick is simply reboot the TC..
    Or on Lion use the 5.6 utility and disconnect all users.
    For ML sorry.. Apple decided you don't need that function any more!!.

  • Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad.  Thanls

    Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad.  The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
    THanks

    Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
    HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly.  So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.

  • What is the tax percentage on the Macbook Pro with Retina Display in the US

    I am interested in buying the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I would just like to know what the tax percentage of the price is when buying in the US???

    The price quoted does not include tax which is determined by the state/city where sold.  There is not a Federal tax as in Europe with the VAT.
    State taxes can run 3-10% or somewhere in that range.

  • What exactly does the AppleCare cover for MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I purchased the extended protection plan for my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15" and my question is what exactly does it cover in what kind of situations (i.e. viruses, damaged ports, damaged charger, etc.)? I want to be able to take full advantage of the protection plan since it was a pretty big whole in my wallet.

    AppleCare covers all the problems you have with your MacBook Pro with Retina display and the peripherals which came with it (your charger) if you have a hardware problem that you didn't cause. For example, after 2 or 3 years and 1000 charges, OS X says that your battery has to be replaced: in this case, you have to pay for the battery, because batteries have got a lifetime, and Unibody Macs batteries have got an average lifetime of about 1000 charges.
    However, if the RAM gets damaged and you haven't done anything to cause it, you will get your computer repaired or replaced for free. AppleCare in a MacBook Pro with Retina display is very important, because near all the parts are soldered into the logic board and repairs are expensive

  • Can "Sims 3" and its' expansions pack be played on the Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display?

    I am thinking about purcashing the new Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display. I would like to know if  "Sims 3" and its' expansions packs are playable on this mac with the assistance of an Apple USB Superdrive.

    Yes, The Sims 3 and all its expansions are perfectly playable on the MacBook Pro with Retina display (though I don't recommend installing it using Remote Disc as it will take a couple of hours at best to completely install everything).
    Playing it at 2880 x 1800 makes everything look great... except for the incredibly small UI elements. The game looks slightly fuzzy at 1440 x 900, which is to be expected given how Apple handles scaling with the Retina display. If you can't live with the fuzziness, you'll have to find a happy medium between 1440 x 900 and 2880 x 1800. And hey, if you decide you can play it at 2880 x 1800, more power to you!

  • What do i need to connect my macbook pro to my samsung widescreen tv?

    My Samsung Widescreen TV has a hook-up (15 pin connector/serial port?) for a PC. What do I need to do to connect my MacBook Pro to it and can I use the TV as the monitor or for viewing an internet website?  I'm trying to use the larger screen for a meeting of several people to discuss website improvements?
    Thanks

    If you can tell me whch TV & MBP you have i can give you exact cable part numbers and settings but short of that i'll try & see what i can do for you. Older MBP do not support audio over the HDMI & by default VGA doesn't either so will need an audio cable in addition to the video regardless which input you use. aparently newer MBP Do support audio over HDMI so as long as your TV does also you're a one cable hookup. My Samsung has a specific HDMI port labled DVI/ HDMI which accepts a cable i got at the apple store & simply plug  play. Look in your samsung manual to verify what resolutions the TV suppports, select the input & mode from your menue and set the resolution & you should be good to go. Obviously you'll need to do a little tweaking inorder to optimize the screen but assuming you're familliar with your mac to begin with it's a no brainer. you might not be able to run optimal resolution on the TV untill you close the lid (clamshell mode) on the MBP which means you need a key board & trackpad or mouse. on the other hand if you are attempting to mirror the displays or use it as a 2nd display those modes are also available from the MBP setup. you can detect & gather your screens & calibrate the screens right on the MBP (under dispalys) and once you have the TV reckognizing the input it's nothing but a monitor. now all of the above assumes you are NOT running Lion as i'm NOT. I hope this at least gets you in the ballpark.

  • Please can someone tell me what this panic report means - I get this constantly!

    Hi  Everyone
    I Have a 2012 mac Mini 2.0ghz i7  with 2 x 4gb ram and I keep getting panic reports at random times,  I have  reinstalled the OS and it still keeps happening.  I have removed and swapped each of the memory modules and it seems that  I get the problem if I have the top memory module  occupied(I have swapped the memory over and it still happens) .
    At present I have just the 2nd(bottom)memory slot in use and all's well.  Can anyone tell me if this will mean I wil have to have the motherboard replaced or if its a simle fix? Or if its a common issue withh this model and year?
    I would like to have it fixed but is it worth it?
    The panic report is as follows - thanks for your help (in advance):

    Thanks Michael
    Yes both memory modules work fine - I have swapped them over so its got to be the slot.  Its been like it  since I bougjht it (2nd hand) and the warranty had expired when I got it. 
    It does work fine with 4 GB but i need more memory as I want to use VM Fusion and run windows  as  I plan to study for a microsoft exam to improve my employment oportunities in IT once I get made redundant in the nextfew montths. Alternatively,  I could buy an old windows laptop which may work out cheaper than getting the mac fixed,  or perhaps buy an 8gb memory module and sell my 2x4gb module - decisions, decisions!
    I will take your advice and get apple to check it out and give me a quote.

  • Can someone please tell me which cable is used to connect a Macbook Pro to a TV.

    I want to connect my laptop to the tv but i don't know which cable is used and where to buy it..

    On my 2011 Macbook Pro (and my sister's) mdp does pass audio.
    I seem to recall that some (older?) mdp-hdmi adaptors wouldn't pass audio. 
    The moshi one I have here passes audio, and another one I have does too -- I think it's made by RocketFish.
    I see that the one at Apple Store is moshi -- it lists the digital audio feature:

    Says the error is "filelist is not recognized".    on line 14.   I thought I had fully defined 'filelist' on line8
    I thought filelist was a one-D array variable.
    Peterkal

    Also, in lines 8 and 9 you use a variable called "filelist" but in lines 13 and 14 you call it "fileList" (notice the capital-L).
    JavaScript is case-sensitive, so you must be consistent with your variable names throughout.

  • What cable is needed to connect a MBP to an external Display?

    I've been browsing Apple Store for cables to connect my MBP to my Sony HDTV, which both has HDMI input and a VGA input, I'm very confused about what to choose. I don't want to buy something that I won't be able to use.

    You want the MiniDisplay port to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable.  If you have a Thunderbolt port, the adapter plugs into that as well.

  • Can some one please tell me what leads i need to connect my mac book pro to my tv

    Hi i have a mac book pro can someone tell me what leads i need to connect it to my tv
    thanks scott

    If your TV has HDMI, and if your MBP is compatible with this adapter, I highly recommend:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er
    It sends the audio out through the mini DisplayPort into the HDMI cable, but only if your computer has that capability.  On that page, scroll down and look for a comment titled "How you know if it is supported w/o guessing."
