Has anyone successfully used this to connect a MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt cable to a HDTV?

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?

Nope. It needs to be powered. I could only get one item at a time to work. If I had 2 or more things plugged in, it wouldn't work at all.

Yes, I hooked it up to my MacBook Pro with no problems. Right before I put it back in the box and sent it back

I did not have success using this product to connect a MacBook Pro to a number of different monitors. I connected a the DVI-D end with a dongle to my mac, and I plugged the HDMI port into the monitors. Maybe I was using it backwards but I don't think so, it would work for about 30 seconds before the screen would blur with a red snow.

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

I am using this with a MacBook Pro, which has an HDMI port (depends on the model year). It works flawlessly with this set-up.

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

Yes, it does. The thunderbolt drive works well with my wife's MacBook PRO with Retina display & Thunderbolt connections. Very fast.

Yes and no. For example I use mine to connect from my 15in MacBook Pro that has thunderbolt, to a 27in iMac that does not have thunderbolt only mini display. I use the iMac as an external display for the MacBook Pro.

Peter, I have to agree with the answer provided to you by Cory Church. The cable has worked beautifully on our MacBook Pro. Using the cable is a LOT better than using a VGA cable with an Apple VGA "dongle" adapter.

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.

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

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!

It's very simple, you just plug the display port end into the display port input in your macbook and then connect the other end into one of your HDMI ports on your TV. If you have multiple HDMI ports on your TV, you may need to try a few of them. Mine didn't work on HDMI 2 or 3, but it did work on my HDMI 1 port. Good luck, hope this helped!

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

Yes it will. I just purchased the newest 13" MacBook Pro (as of 11/15/2014) and the Samsung monitor works fine. The macbook has a dedicated HDMI port, so I do not know how well it will work with MacBooks that require a thunderbolt-to-HDMI connection, but I assume it should work fine as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, the thunderbird port on the Retina Macbook pros accepts this Mini DisplayPort connector and it works.

Does your MacBook Pro have a Dual Link DVI port? If it does, then yes, it should work.
