What additional software/driver do I need on mac book pro 10.9.X? I bought this cable already and trying to use it with Dell U2713HM with resolution 2560X1440. But I'm not getting the full resolution. Only 1080p. So what is missing here?

I have only used the cable to connect to a TV so I don't have personal experience with it. However, you can hold down the Option key in the Display settings in System Preferences to display more resolution options. If the larger resolution is not listed there it might be that Mavericks does not have drivers that yet support the larger resolution.

First of all, I'm NOT sure that I have the answer for you, but here goes. Is your cable any good? How are the connections, either on the cable OR on the computer or the hard drive? Give Apple, or Western Digital a buzz. They're usually pretty helpful.

Hello from Ecomade Arena,That is good question.Due to OS X restriction, Macbook with HDMI max resolution rate is 1920*1080 only.However, windows with HDMI max resolution rate is 2560*1440 (HDMI 1.4 supported graphic card only)so, Macbook user should be connect monitor via DP (Thunderbolt) port only.ASIN : B00HLCNNUO is 27QW DP model. It has DP port.Thank you

False. There is a known incompatibility with this monitor and the newer Mac OS on desktop. A driver or third party solution is what I'm inquiring about.

Sabrina, I connected it to my Macbook Pro through a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter". You can buy it from amazon for less than $10. Good luck!

From what I understand this is the windows version. It didnt work in my Mac Pro 2,1 which is why I'm selling it. Sorry :/

I replace it, for the original card in my Mac Pro 1.1.Needs the place of two slots and you can connect 2 monitors (DVI).It´s the best choice for this mac, I think.Axel

Yes, I use this display at full resolution with my MacBooks. I'm using this cable: "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable" for my Macs, and this cable "Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D Male/Male Dual Link Digital Video Cable" for my Windows workstation.

I'm not sure on your tv but I just picked up a Samsung Combo HDTV/Monitor and had nasty issues getting the picture right until I stumbled across an easter egg in their setup. My Mac Mini is connected via a DVI -> HDMI cable to my Samsung. The colors were way off and it was obvious that the signal was not digital going to the monitor until I labeled my HDMI input "PC". That fixed the colors. Setting the option for "Overscan" fixed the resolution. Now I get a picture that looks as good as the DVI -> DVI input from my laptop.-- Chris

There is a Display Port to Mini Display port cable so ---> mDP to macbook, DP to monitor, walla 4k goodness, make sure your macbook is late 2013 for 4k to work, it will only work @ 30hz under mac os, but will run fine @ 60hz in windows via bootcamp,

I have the latest Mac Book Pro - retina display included- with the latest system to date. I received the software today, and I installed it in my Mac Pro. The system identified it with easy, and also accomplished the installation the same way. It will tell you that it will check if the software is acceptable for your computer system, but don't worry, because, at least in my case, the computer was capable of doing the installation successfully. I opened up or ran the program after the installation, just in case it could not be able to run. But it was displayed with easy, and although I did not use it, it looks like it is able to function, because it showed a window asking me about which kind of video or video system I was about to use, I accepted the one selected by default, just looking what will happen, and it told me it did not detected a fire wire, and asked me if it should continue, opening its main window; I approved continuing running the program, and it opened its main window. The User Manual should be duplicated and saved, some where in your Mac. It is on the file that has all the files of the installation package. I can not asure you the program will work to the perfection inside your Mac, because I haven't gone so far using it, but at least you have part of your question answered - it can be installed in your Mac Book Pro, and somehow it runs. My Mac Book Pro computer is using actually OS X Version 10.9.1

I just ordered a sister model (AWUS036NHV) on for my Macbook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2. Downloaded drivers from Alpha site...Works fine... but not until I tried 5 different USB Cables (including the one included with the unit), and it finally kicked in with a short super heavy-duty USB cable from my Garmin. Maybe the USBports on my macbook Air don't provide enough power? But it is working now and doing a nice job.Would like to use a long cable to place the unit closer to the window... gonna check into usinga powered usb hub with a longer cable. Anyone have any experience with using a powered hubwith this unit? I just ordered a sister model (AWUS036NHV) on for my Macbook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2.

Hi Matthew, Could you tell me which program you bought to convert so my Mac can recognize the hi res video? Thanks!

I don't have a Mac Pro, but I looked up the ports. It looks like the Pro does not have an HDMI port. However, if your TV has a computer connection, you could get an adapter for your DVI output and connect to the TV using a regular monitor cable. You would also have to run a cable for sound from the computer's headphone or speaker port.

I ordered this for Mac OS 10.4.8 before reading these messages. Is anyone using it on a Mac? Does it use a Logitech or third-party driver as mentioned above?

I use a Mac Pro desktop with Radeon Graphics and two 30" Dell U3011 displays.So, I can not relate to the question per se. On the positive side, these displays seem to be very accurate, and with AWESOME resolution.On the negative side, sometimes one of the displays stays off-line after "Sleep" and needs a reboot, which I'd attribute to the operating system or the Radeon Card.Overall, I'd give it a 4.75 rating out of five.

Turn the video settings on your Mac to 1080i and ensure the cable is pressed all the way in on the HDMI port. See my review of the product for additional information.
