On a Mac, using this cable, how do you get CHIRP's port drop down to show something that works?

install the correct drivers. If you attempted to install more then one driver, make sure you remove all previous installed drivers. http://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/1ycs7w/mac_os_x_programming_baofeng_uv5r_with_chirp/

If you don't have a Mac, I'm not sure this adapter works. Make sure the proper input is selected on the TV and the connectors are pushed in all the way. Also, try connecting the adapter with the computer turned off. !f that's the way you did it, try connecting with the computer turned on. We need more detail (model of computer, model of TV,etc.) for more detailed advice.

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

I haven't tried it but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be it's just a USB interface. I hope to talk to my Macintosh and it worked within seconds

I used mine with CHIRP and it worked after I downloaded the driver from Baofeng.

Brad: I'm sorry, I have not used it for that purpose. Since I have a MAC laptop, it didn't have the connector port that I needed, so I bought this so I can use the 15-pin end on my external monitor and plug the USB end into my laptop. That works fine. Since it is a standard 15-pin end, My guess is that it will work, bit i haven't done anything other than use it to connect an external monitor to my laptop. Sorry I can't be of more help.

on a mac you go to system preferences then hit sound and click hdmi for audio output

The fix is a little kludgy... but it can be done. The trick is to look for a "400" to "800" dongle or hub. What you are trying to do is come out of the dongle or hub with a "FW 800" cable and into the Apple Thunderbolt adapter dongle (about $30). I have lots of FW 800 hard drives that I use to feed my new Apple PBRP... and it works just fine ;-{)

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

...further investigation; If you have a Mac you simply hold the 'command' button down and click on the speaker icon at the top of your screen. This opens a dialogue box and allows you to select HDMI as your sound output...worked for me.

It probably doesn't since this type of display port is mostly in Macs. Maybe with a VGA to HDMI adapter it will work.

There is monitor port that I have used with external monitor on my MacBook Air.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

identify chip set in the cable - plug into computer, have OS identify the device, take screen shot or print system report. win - see http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#cablemac - see Troubleshooting section of http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tipsperhaps the cable is counterfeit - see http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ClonedChips.php

I am sorry, I cannot answer that for the cable. The actual software for the radio was free from chirp. But I would think the cable could work, you just may need to find the driver online. I recommend you get the correct cable with driver for your radio. Sorry if I could not help you.

Yeah a tricky one.. I don't know about MAC but on my windows laptop I Click to add device on the laptop.. then hold the button on the button on the bottom of the mouse. Until the blue light on top is solid. Then let go and make your connection. Good Luck.

I just plugged it in and my computer just recognized it. I have a mac, btw.
