  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • The Best Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter?

    I am looking for recommendations on a good Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter for my Macbook Pro 2011 Sandy Bridge. I have gone through about 4 adapters in the past year due to the adapters become unresponsive after 2 or 3 months. I use my Macbook heavily on external monitors for my work (averaging 7 hours or more a day between various monitors).
    I can rule out the HDMI wire itself not being the cause of the problem but the adapters have been a huge miss and drain on cash this year. If anyone who is also a heavy user can point me in the direction of a durable adapter I would be very grateful.

    I always recommend monopriice.com for cables and adapters.
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    But all these adapters are in the form of "pigtails" and no matter where you get them the strain relief and the cables can fatigue and break from constant bending or pulling (doesn't help your macbook socket any either).
    Maybe you should order a bunch.  They are cheaper that way at monoprice.
    Another possibility might be you trying a mini displayport to HDMI cable.  No adapter.
    Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support (10 ft.)
    But of course you could get about 6 adapters for the price of that one cable!

  • What do I need to connect my late 2009 Mac book (mini display port) to the TV and get sound?

    I'm totally confused!
    I have a late 2009 model Macbook. And I want to connect it to my TV.
    So my research has led to believing I need a Mini display port adapter and a HDMI cable - but from some of what I have read, this won't carry sound...
    Can anyone clarify this and what I do actually need?

    The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with theHDMI.
    If you have the Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the MiniDisplay Port there is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.

  • Will the rocketfish mini display port to hdmi adapter work with a mid 2012 macbook pro?

    I want to buy it but im not sure if it will work.

    I think your Macbook came with a Mini DVI port instead of a Mini Display port.

  • HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

    Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

    It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
    USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
    By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.

    Most likely one of the following:
    Loose or bad connections
    Bad cable(s) or plug adapter(s)
    Faulty Belkin adapter
    Which adapter are you using - miniDP to DVI or miniDP to VGA?  If DVI, are you connecting to your TV via DVI or HDMI?  Are you using any plug adapters in addition to the Belkin adapter (say, DVI-HDMI plug adapter vs. a DVI-HDMI cable)?
    Did this work before?  Is this a change in behavior?
    Can you try connecting to some other external monitor or TV to test?

  • I have a late 2010 MB Air (mini display port) and a new 2013 iMac (thunderbolt) which I would love to use as an external display. I suspect that target display mode won't work.Any ideas for how to achieve this?

    According to the TDM support page, this isn't possible. I tried it with a Mnidisplay port to minidisplay port cable without success. Its a shame that thunderbolt doesn't appear to be backwards compable as I could have achieved this with an older iMac.
    Cheers

    You are correct....it will not work. Please carefully read Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • I have 2 iMacs, one has a thunderbolt port and the other has a mini display port. Would it be possible to use one as an extension of the other? If so what cable would I need.

    Hi,
    As the title of the thread says. I have an older iMac with a mini display port and a newer iMac with a thunderbolt port. Would it be possible so that the older iMac is an extension of my new iMac. The reason for this is because logic x can be a abit clustered on one screen.
    Thanks

    If you'll be using the 2010 iMac as the display, a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.
    It's not possible to use the 2011 iMac as the display through Target Display mode in that configuration.

  • How can I get a video signal using IMAC 27 with only mini display port. I like to send the signal wireless to a TV using a TV/audio transmit system.

    I have an IMAC 27 with a mini display port ( only this). I also have all the adapters ( mini display port to VGA, HDMI...).
    Since I moved to UAE I like to transmit the signal frm my IMAC ( where I also look German TV on) to my TV. I will do so by using a wireless Transmit receive system with theree cinch inputs ( transmit system ( video, 2x voice).
    The distance to the TV IS ABOUT 10m and one wall. I don`t want to use a cable.
    Is there any solution for example mini display to VGA + VGA adapter to cinch so I can use the transmit system?
    HDMI would also be an optiekn, bat then I have to by another Transmit receive system.
    If somebody made already the experience I would appreciate to share the information
    Is there may be any store in UAE where to get support. It is very diificult to get good advice here. They sell everything bat can not reaaly explain and have very often  no technical knowledge. With this problem nobody until now can help me.

    I don't know what AppleTV can handle as far as bit rate is concerned, but increase the bit rate as high as it will let you. You are taking DV which is 25Mb/s and compressing it. If you're making an H.264, you should get great results needing no more than 6Mb/s. Bear in mind, the higher the bit rate, the larger the file size.

  • Question when using the Mini Display Port.

    Hello,
    I just got my 27" Imac, and I was wondering what is the hotkey to switch between the mini display port and the normal desktop?
    Am using a Mini Display to DVI adapter and I can't figure out how to switch between the video sources. Am trying to run my Ps3 off from my mac, any help on what the hotkey is would be wonderful.
    I read some place that command+F2 is the hotkey used to switch between the port, but maybe you have to assign the hotkeys?
    There have been people who have been able to use there systems this way, and Apple states the port is there for this purpose; Any light on this subject would be nice.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You can only run your PS3 on the iMac's display if you have an adapter that turns the PS3's video signal into DisplayPort signaling. A mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter is the wrong adapter to use. That adapter works in only one direction, from a device with m-DP output to a device with DVI input.
    If your PS3 has DVI output then you need an adapter to convert the DVI to HDMI. Then you need a converter to convert the HDMI to m-DP. They run US$149.00. The best resolution that you can expect is 720p.

    Then you can toggle using Command+F2.

  • 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.

  • HDMI Audio Output via Mini Display Port to Sharp Aquos TV cuts out every 10 seconds

    I haven't had an issue til I recently did a software update to my Mac Pro. 
    I have two mini-display ports on the back of my machine but always have been able to listen to audio from the HDMI connection without an issue. Anyone else having this issue?  I checked and reset all the setting on my Television and get prompted that a icompatible PCMI audio signal is being recieved.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks!

    I have seen one report that this is an acknowledged bug in OS10.6.8, the only cure for now is reverting OS:

  • HDMI to Mini Display Port problem.

    When I connect my MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011) to my TV using my HDMI to Mini Display Port adapter the MacBook just shuts off completely. I can use a VGA adapter no problem but I would like to get better picture quality from HDMI. Anybody have any ideas what the problem is?
    Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried a different adapter/cable? This is where I would start. (see if you can borrow some).
    You can also try these resets:
