what cable do I need to be able to watch a movie through my regular LCD TV?
I've haven't got any of the other cables for my Retina display, and I've tried connecting my Mac to my TV via HDMI cable, but no sound comes out and apprently I need another cable...?

Your HDMI output port should be carrying the audio signal to your television. If it's not, you can use a Thunderbolt->HDMI adapter that does carry sound, such as this one from Monoprice.

    I have dial up connection for my internet  What equipment do I need to be able to watch Netflix on my TV?

    First need would be a high speed Internet connection, such as Cable, DSL or Fibre service. Dial-up has nowhere near the capacity to provide Netflix service.

    I Agree with Meg. The Apple TV is a nice accessory that lets you do quite a few things In addition to wireless streaming video from your iPad. The Apple TV is $99 though and the cables I suggested are much less. But then the Apple TV does so much more.

    You need either a FireWire 800 to FW 400 cable or a FR 800 (male)/FW(female) adopter.
    However. it the Mini (note that you still have the late 2012 Mini, Apple has not updated the Mini since then) has Mavericks it may not work satisfactorily. I tried it on my 2102 and I get abount 1 frame every 20 seconds. Another uses posted same problem.
    However, it it work fine on my late 2009 Mini with Mavericks

  • What cable do I need to buy to connect my Macbook Pro (2011) to a VGA screen? I tried the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA", but apparently it doesnt fit the 2011 Pro version...

    Help me out please.

    Yes ... minidisplay
    But what I do not like in that picture (my personal view, others may think differently), is that there is much plastic around the connectors where the cable must fit.  You may ot may not be able to get the cable to *fully seat* with the adapter.
    Other adapters (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334087, yes I know this is a DVI) hve no plastic barriers to connections.

  • What cable do I need to transfer files to my 2013 iMac from my 2009 iMac?

    what cable do I need to transfer files to my 2013 iMac from my 2009 iMac?
    Thanks in advance,

    There aren't any ports in common between both Macs except the USB, that can't be used to connect both Macs. The easiest solution is to connect both Macs with a FireWire 800 cable and get the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, which you will have to connect into one of the Thunderbolt ports of the 2013 iMac.
    Then, to transfer files to the 2013 iMac, you have to put the 2009 iMac in Target Disk Mode, so start it holding the T key, and you will see the FireWire icon on the screen. Now, the 2013 iMac is detecting the hard disk of the 2009 iMac as an external disk, so open a Finder window and select it, under "Devices", and you will be able to transfer the data you want to your 2013 iMac.
    If you have to transfer applications and settings, too, I recommend you to use Migration Assistant with both Macs connected with the FireWire cable, too > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

    thanks!

    you need a mini-dvi to vga adapter to connect to the first cable you have pictured. A mini DVI to video adapter will work with the other which looks to be an S-video cable.
    The minii dvi to vga should do the trick

    Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.
    This one will work: Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support

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

    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-

    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:

    If you are connecting via VGA you will need a separate audio cable if your TV supports it.
    Thanks,

    What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display to have two displays?

    It depends on what type(s) of video input you have on your TV. If you've an open HDMI port on your TV, you can use a Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter and it will carry the sound also. See -> here.
    Good luck,
