What hbmi cord do I need to connect my Macbook Pro retina display to a Windows desktop?

I'm trying to connect my Windows desktop to my Macbook Pro retina dispay so i can transfer CD's. ALthough I dont know what cord to get.

Your post is a little confusing. HDMI is for connecting video, like hooking your Mac to a TV. It sounds like you want to transfer files. If you have a wireless network, just share the folder with the music on your Windows machine and you should be able to copy it to your Mac.

    What cable/adapter do I need to connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV?
    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.

  • EXACTLY what cable(s) do I need to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011 w/ Intel HD 3000/ 384Mb) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution. Specifically, what cable/connections do I need to display at this resolution? I cannot get the display to work using a "Thunderbolt to HDMI" or a "Thunderbolt to DVI" connector.  Note:  I used both older and newer (uni-directional) HDMI cables on the first config, and a Dual-link DVI cable on the second config.   Apple specs state this is possible ( support.apple.com/kb/SP619 ), but I am at a loss as to how this can be done.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    You use a Mini DisplayPort to either HDMI or dual-link DVI adapter. If that component doesn't work, something's wrong with either the cable or something else in the connection.

  • What cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

    what cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

    hi Sam
    It's actally an HDMI adapter that Apple sells.
    You hook the small adapter up to your MBP and then HDMI cable to your TV. Please note adapter is for HDMI compliant for HDMI rev 1.3 and above:
    My TV, which has DVI port also, besides HDMI gets its best resolution by DVI of which also sell at Apple store for the MBP.
    Bottom line is check w/ your TV manufacture to be sure your flat screen supports 1920 X 1200.
    Let 'er rip and...
    cheers

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

  • HT5299 which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?

    which cables do I need to connect my macbook pro 2013 to an hd tv?  The port's on the side have changed from my previous Mac.  Thank you.

    If you have a retina MBP use a HDMI to HDMI cable.
    If you have a non retina MBP, use a minidisplay port to HDMI cable.  Insert the minidisplay end in the Thunderbolt port.
    Ciao.

  • I just bought a 13" macbook pro retina display. I need to run films and presentations remotely. Does RemoteHD work on a machine without an IR sensor, or does anybody know what would work?

    I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and I have just bought a 13" macbook pro retina display. I need to run films and presentations remotely., i.e not sitting at the computer.
    Does RemoteHD work on a machine without a built in IR sensor, or does anybody know what would work?

    I can't vouch for this as I've never tried one, but I think this does what you're after.

  • Macbook pro retina display wifi connection problem.

    Macbook pro Retina display - 3 weeks old - connects erratically to home wifi over Airport Express
    iphone and iMac connects to the same wifi network. I am connecting through iphone hot spot to write this question. please help.

    I have posted my solution  i.e. update airport utility software. Ocourse you needa working internet connection for that!
    I have a 27 inch imac, mac book pro, mac book pro with retina display, iphone 4, iphone 4s, 2 x iphone 5. Each device was showing erratic internet connections at some point in time or the other.
    I just updated Airport Utility Software. You can find it in Applications/Utilities. When you click on Airport utilities, it opens a window with 2 icons. The bottom icon will look like your airport express. click on that and then you will get info on the right. If , I repeat if, your Airport utility software requires updation, you will be prompted in the info box. Click that and then you will be fine.
    However, the irony is that you need an internet connection for this. I set up a hot spot on my phone and did it.

  • HT1338 Today when connecting my MB Pro Retina Display to my 27" LED Cinema Display instead of mirroring (which worked fine in the past) both screens are black with a large arrow cursor. I'm unable to resolve this. Anyone have a similar experience?

    Today when connecting my MB Pro Retina Display to my 27" LED Cinema Display instead of mirroring (which worked fine in the past) both screens are black with a large arrow cursor. I'm unable to resolve this. Anyone have a similar experience?

    I think what may be your main issue here is that the 2011
    server has the Intel integrated HD3000 and is is struggling
    to run both a Thuderbolt display and a second monitor.
    When looking at specs for Thunderbolt Display, it is stated
    that the 2011 Mini Server can only support one.  Adding that
    Dell monitor with 1920x1200 display may just be too many
    pixels for the HD3000 to handle.
    You may want to try setting the Dell to a lower resolution
    to test the theory to see what happens.  It is however,
    possible that any additional monitor when using the Thunderbolt
    display may over tax the HD3000 graphics.
    FWIW personally, I have been running a 2011 Mini Server w/ Thunderbolt
    display for almost a year now without any issues.  However, I don't
    use a second monitor.
