What adapter do i need to connect my computer to the internet

I am woundering what adapter i need to plug into my computer so that i can plug my computer directly into the wall and use the internet using a ethernet cord. I am not wanting to use wify for that does work great. I have to plug my computer directly into the internet using an ethernet cable unfornately the new mac pros do not come with and ethernet port. I am wanting to do this because of 3D gaming they say that i can not use wify to play that particular game but have to be connected directly. I do how ever have thunderbolt port actually two. I also have usb 3.0 the mac store says that i need a thunder bolt ethernet adapter but which one i need to buy. I have been reading alot on those adapters and they say that the adapter is Giabit ethernet adapter will that work with normal internet speeds or is that cable just for a gigabit Network it is hard to understand all the details and what is going to work... I have also heard that the thunderbolt is faster but what the thunder bolt is used for is to connect a display or is it used also to connect to the internet directly. any help on this would be great.. My question again is what adapter do i need to hook my computer directly to the internet?

You need the Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD463ZM/A/thunderbolt-to-gigabit-ethernet-adap ter
Thunderbolt is a video, audio and data port, so you can use it to connect external displays, external drives or different adapters to connect a display or connect the Mac to the Internet. In the case of Ethernet, you won't notice the Thunderbolt speed, as it's more for external disks

What adapter do I need to connect my 2009 Macbook Pro to my 2007 iMac? I get really confused with all of the different cables out there an I want to make sure I get the correct one.
Macbook Pro Model is: Late 2009, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
iMac Model: Late 2007, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Thanks!

The 2007 iMac does not support cabled input. see > Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Like Niel suggest's, your only option is to use a network based connection like > ScreenRecycler

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available it included HDR & Panoramic photo merge. I cant find these. Where do I find them.

well that was a big waste of my time & data allowance then ...
I live in a flaky slow internet area & I keep my photo edit machine off the internet unless & want to update something. CC is no use to me & that useless update just used up a 12th of my allowance for the year ...

What adapter do I need to connect my Macbook Pro to my Samsung Series 4 4000 led tv?

I bought a PNY Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter but when I plug it in nothing happens. I am guessing that the tv isn't recognizing my Mac. What adapter do I need?

Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

What cables do I need to connect MacBook Pro to the TV VGA port

Nov 6, 2014 7:01 PM
Hi,
The HDMI port on my Maxent tv is not working. I am hoping to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV via the VGA port on the TV to watch Netflix and movies. What cables do I need that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)? And will that cable support audio or will I need a separate audio cable?
Thanks-
Sheri

Hey Sheri Lynn,
Thanks for the question. Our online store has a helpful tool that should guide you through the process of picking the best adapter for your MacBook model. You can check it out here:
Get help choosing Mac video adapters - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables/cable-chooser#!
If you are connecting via VGA you will need a separate audio cable if your TV supports it.
Thanks,

When I try to open Firefox, it says that "the proxy server is refusing connections." What settings do I need to change? Even though the internet signal is strong, I can't open any webpages.

It also says that Windows cannot connect to the Internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. This is probably caused by Firewall settings on this computers. Check the firewall settings for HTTP port (80), HTPPS prot (443) & FTP port (21).
This all started when I tried to tried to delete the Verizon Broadband toolbar and home page that always opened when I opened Firefox.

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

[URGENT!] Cannot connect a computer to the internet via WRT54GSv4 router

I have spent more money than the devil knows on fixing my wireless internet, and just recently I discovered these forums. Go figure.
Anyways, two or three weeks ago my upstairs computer's internet connect flopped and died. This is about the seventh time this has happened, in ONE YEAR! I use a Westell modem and a WRT54GSv4 router, a WRE54G Range Expander outside the room, and a Dynex Enhanced Wireless-G Adapter. One day I was playing WoW (ftw...), and all of a sudden I was disconnected, rather rudely. I looked back to my Expander: The top light was red, and the bottom blue, which means activity but no link (meh?). Anyways, I got limited or no connectivity for the first few days, but not connected, and finnaly my Routed connection died and wouldn't even show on the list of in range wireless connections. If the router was a person, I'd beat it with a bat. Or at least with words.
In the past I configured it to allow Battle.net ports 6112 through 6119 to host games on Warcraft III. I have done nigh on nothing else to mess with my router, no firmware upgrades, no meddling (except for some resets to factory defaults via 30 seconds reset button), etc. It randomly shuts off and dies, but the thing that really pisses me off is the fact that my parents' laptop still has connectivity to the routed network. I don't know if its something to do with my router, something screwed with my modem, my range expander being gay, or my Dynex adapter being pwned by some virtual cannon.
If any of y'all could provide any information whatsoever relating to this fix as soon as possible, I would be greatly appreciative!

As you said your Parents computers are able to go online thorugh the Router, That means its not the problem with the Router, You just need to input the same wireless settings on your Wireless WRE.

I want to watch videos on youtube or read articles on my laptop, and I want a cable/adapter that will hook up the Macbook to the TV and display the webpage that is on the laptop.

Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.

If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
