Can I use this item to connect HD TV and my mac pro?

It depends on the tv, some set's work just fine right out of the box, just plug in the cable, and your watching content. Others require a little help or won't do at all. First check your tv, be sure it has a hdmi connection. If it does it most likely will work, and dig out your tv manual you will need it for set up. If you have problems call your tv retailer, in this market they want to keep their customers happy for repeat business. As for your mac pro do the same, the customer service I have been told is great .

Yari,Any HDMI cable will work, but you do need the proper adapter, since the mbp does not have an HDMI port. This is the tricky part -- I tried 3 different adapters before finding one that worked. Be sure to check the port that you do have and find an adapter that matches that port. (I bought mine here at Amazon.)

yari,I do not have a Mac Pro, therefore I don't know if it has an hdmi port.

If you have an HDMI out - then yes directly. You have a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt - then get a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter - then you can connect it, this is how I connected my parents mac mini to their HD TV. Sound is separate in this case.If you are also looking for sound to travel - The best route may be use an AppleTV and send your display to the AppleTV.

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.

No. This cable did not work on my MacBook to connect to the TV. I have returned it.

Yes you can; this adaptor is made specifically to convert the digital signal from a Mac equipped with either a Thunderbolt or Minidisplay Port to an Analog television standard. This adaptor will work on older televisions in any country where the televisions were once manufactured according to PAL or NTSC standards (United States, Europe, Japan, etc). Most modern digital televisions are also backwards compatible with the Analog standards so this adaptor works well with many newer televisions as well.

No it isn't well not as its set up anyways I mean you could go mac to rca adaptor but it won't be in hd that's probably the only way it would work and truthfully I bought 2nd these things and I returned both of them the quality is horrible and it's nnot worth what they are asking for Em trust me don't buy them spend the extra cash and get a nec or Epson they bboth have a direct mac plug in that fits the standard projection cable that comes with the post 2009 and up mac books pro/ air and tower / pc mac configurations I'm a mac user myself mac book pro and I have no issues with my nec hope this helps

Yes, given that you have the proper mac dongle adapter. It has a VGA and also a DVI input port.

I personally do not know, I do not have a MacPro.Best answer is to go to StarTech.com and look for the model and see if they have drivers for Macs. Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you needed.

First of all, have you changed the audio settings on your computer? that may be the problem with the adapter you currently have! Go to System Preferences, Sound, then click the Output tab and change it to HDMI.If that doesnt work, it might depend on what model your mac pro is. only models made in mid-2010 and later support audio.If it still isnt working, you could always buy a 3.5 mm to 3 RCA AV Audio cable in addition. This cable connects to your computers headphone jack and to your tvs three red, white, and yellow jacks. just make sure you change the audio settings on your tv from digital to video if you do so.

If your Mac has a port that matches either end of this cable, yes. If not, then no.

Yes you can. Depending on which version of the MacBook Pro you have, You will need to purchase a Mini Display Port to VGA adapter from Apple or another retailer. Then you will need a VGA cable to connect from the adapter to the TV using the VGA/RGB port on the back. Hope this helps.

As long as the digital video port on your Mac Also outputs audio. I used this for my ps4 to a monitor and external speakers. So you can see why this would be useful in certain circumstances. If you have the video going to an hdmi tv then you want to find a different means of mashing the audio (from the headphone port) and video together.

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

You would need an Apple TV and Airplay or similar device connected to the TV to connect a Mac to your TV ( I have a Mac mini and Apple TV connected this way). This device does not output an HDMI signal.

I use it to hook my Mac book pro and Philips 42" TV. It should work for Samsung TVs too I guess? provided your TV should have a HDMI outlet

Sorry, not a mac person. But, its a generic HDMI switch, any spec HDMI cord should switch and pass through. And this is why I am a PC person, no need to buy dedicated cords. Why make life so hard?

No, it won't work in a Mac Pro, as it doesn't align connections. Look to OWC for a Mac Pro solution. And I'm aware of course that a Macbook Pro does not equal a Mac Pro, unlike the prior answer.

Depends on what Mac you have. Macbook Pros have an HDMI port so this adapter will work with it, however Macbook Airs do not so you'd have to get a Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter first. At that point it might be better to find a Thunderbolt-to-VGA adapter instead.
