Do you need an extra adapter to use with a Macbook Pro?

If the Macbook Pro requires a special input/output connector then yes. If your Macbook Pro has a standard HDMI out then the only thing you will need is an HDMI type C adapter. There are 3 or 4 ends for an HDMI cable. The most common is type A which is the plug that goes to your TV, DVD player, etc. Then there is the one that connects to small devices like cell phones and that is HDMI type D. Then there is an in between connector called HDMI type C. To use an HDMI cable on this projector you will need an adapter from type A to type C. It's only a few bucks here on Amazon. So look for HDMI A to C adapter. Or you can buy an HDMI A to C cable which eliminates the need for an adapter.

Same experience as Gary Carlson. No drivers needed for late 2011 MacBook Pro. Working fine with Mavericks. However, I would add as drawbacks the clunky size of the adapter as it sticks out of the expressport slot, and the barrel type power plug to USB port adapter cable needed for bus powered devices. Not an elegant solution by a long shot, but seemingly the only one available with the FL1100 chipset required for native support.

It does. You will need an adapter. I have a MacBook Pro. Because the MacBook Pro has a thunderbolt input, I bought a mini-display port to display port adapter. The monitor plugs into the display port end, the mini-display port end plugs into the thunderbolt 2 input on the mac.

yep, put one end in the usb port in the side of your macbook, and the other in the hdmi port on your TV, assuming your TV has an hdmi port. Works nice and looks great!

It should do as the Macbook Pro has a spare Mini display port adapter not locked in to the docking station but it is defeating the purpose of a Docking station. It has an HDMI adapter on the back of the docking station which you should leave plugged in to your monitor. I guess if you only have DVI or VGA you would do this....

Yes this adapter will connect your MacBook Pro to an external non Apple monitor. But I am not sure you have two mini display ports on your Mac to connect simultaneously to two monitors.

As long as your buy the appropriate adapter cable from whatever connection your MacBook uses to either HDMI/DVI, there's no reason why it wouldn't work perfectly fine.

I believe that it is only USB through the adapter, I don't have a mac but I would think you could check the company's website to see if they support it.

I am using MacBook Pro released late 2011. This adaptor only work on mini display port.

It plugs into a USB port. A 2008 MacBook should have a USB 2.0 port. The hard drive says it uses USB 3.0. I think that means that you don't need an adapter, however data transfer might be slower over USB 2.0.

If you have a apple laptop and intend to use display port (only good option), then you need an adaptor because the display port cord is full sized for chaining together with other monitors, not to connect to a laptop

This adapter is for an iBook which is from about 2004. If you have a new model macBook pro, then you're looking for a mini-Display, or thunderbolt. I would recommend looking at the bottom of your laptop and in that fine print you'll see "Model No." (mine is A1278), then you can google which adapter you'll need

Yes but you do need to purchase the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 power adapter for the newer MacBook Pro.

There is a dongle that plugs in mini-hdmi. Not sure if that works but you need something of that sort. C&E Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro

Does you Macbook has VGA port? The VGA has to be the source for this adapter. You probably need a HDMI to VGA adapter.

Yes, a USB 3.0 connector cord is included which is also backwards compatible to USB 2.0 which I have on my older MacBook Pro. As far as I know the cord IS necessary. Hope this helps

The small end will plug into a macbook pro., but if your monitor does not support displayport, you may have to get a cable with a dvi connector at the other end
