Will this work to connect a new macbook pro retina (late 2013) to an old imac (late 2009) so I can use the imac as a second screen?

Yes this should work. I have set up two systems like this. The only thing I'd say is that it has to be the largest model of (2009) imac. I don't think it works for the smaller one though I haven't checked this.

This product never worked. I received two and neither worked. My money was refunded by the seller.

This will work with the retina MacBook, however if you are looking to mirror the display onto the iMac our use it as a secondary display. It has to be a 27in mid 2010 iMac or newer to support that functionality

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

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

Thunderbolt came out only in 2011. Those iMacs don't carry that port. In a few words... That cable will never work in those mac's unless you buy a firewire-thunderbolt converter adapter. Good Luck!!

Yes, it will. However, depending on the year of your MBP, you will probably need an adapter. If you have a Macbook Pro that is from 2009-2013, you will need a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter to connect your MBP to this monitor using an HDMI cable.

I have a new (this year) iMac and it does support thunderbolt cable, but 2009's do not. An ethernet cable will connect any mac to another mac.

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

Well it is IF your iMac has a THUNDERBOLT port-then yes. Older Macs may not have this port as it's a newer development. I have a MacBook Pro- new. This SINGLE cable allow you to stream (audio and video) 1080p directly into your flatscreen via HDMI. Works great- if you have Thunderbolt. If not then I don't know what to tell you.

Yes, it is. I actually have two of these monitors connected to my MacBook Pro Retina. Of course you'll need Apples VGA adapter though.

Hello S. Waudby, This is only compatible with Mid 2012, Late 2012, and Early 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display models. It is not compatible with Late 2013 models.

Depending on what kind of Mac you have, all you need is a VGA adapter to make this work. Amazon sells one here which should work for you as long as your computer's newer than 2009: AmazonBasics Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt) to VGA Adapter

I know it doesn't work with the late 2013 IMac as you have to order it specifically with a VESA mount. It does work with the Thunderbolt Display. I would do a quick google search to see when apple stopped allowing you to switch out the stand. If memory serves me correctly it was after the late 2012 mode

Yes as long as your Mac has a thunderbolt or mini display port builtin. This is a great option because it is an "active" convertor and will work with 4k HDMI displays making it very future proof.

Could depend on the age of the Mac. But I would assume that if you can use a DVI connector with your Mac then you can use this display with your Mac.

From what you are saying, yes. Thunderbolt cable will connect from the Thunderbolt port of your mac to the Thunderbolt port of your display.

It wouldn't be possible unless your monitors have Thunderbolt I/O and support daisy-chaining. The Thunderbolt dock has two thunderbolt ports, yet, you use one of them to connect your Macbook to the dock and the other port as your Thunderbolt I/O for connecting to other devices.

It'd dependent on the chipset in your laptop . Have the same problem with my MacBook pro. It will only support one external display at a time. You need one of the new retina mbps for dual external displays.
