I stream movies from my iMac's mini display port to the HDMI port on my tv. Twice the adapter has failed and my HDMI ports fried. Coincidence?

Sorry can't help you here. I go from Surface Pro PC to TV and have had no troubles. Not sure what a "fried" HDMI port means.

I did not have that issue running with my video card on a desktop, it WAS hard to find an adaptor that would handle audio for my hardware.

Hmm, I'm not very familiar with the technological aspects of iMacs, since I only use my mac to surf the internet, write my papers, etc. I originally bought a tera grand adapter because I wanted to watch movies on my television and not on my computer. I don't know what's going on with your fried HDMI ports. I don't have that problem. Perhaps, you could ask someone else? I honestly can't answer this question. Sorry!

I couldn't get mine to connect either. I purchased the HDMI adapter and it worked fine. I can only assume that the cable has a problem. Too bad because I really wanted the longer cable.

I am using that adapter with a mac mini for one of my monitors and it works fine. The adapter itself has some issues with snow at times, but if you keep the extra USB plug externally powered (ie USB to wall plug adapter) it tends to help keep snow away.

Mine worked, now and then, after rebooting the Mac book and power cycling the projector and disconnecting and reconnecting about 20 times. Then I got tired of this and spent the $29 for the "real deal" from Apple and it "just works." This device is not as universal compatible as the Apple product.

Yes the mini display port supports HDMI. I have an adapter that allows you to plug an HDMI cable into your Macbook Pro via the Mini Display Port.

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?

Did you try watching movies from your mac? Are you happy with the viewing experience? Any kind of jittering... etc? I am just worried about the video card on the mini, it is the intel on board 9400 I guess. iMac comes with 256M/512M NVIDEA/ATI cards. What other features do you rate the most?

I had the same result. Very annoying. If you already have the older cable you just need to buy the adapter from Apple. Wish I knew that before I ordered this.

I have a macbook pro computer with minidisplayport on computer and use cable to attach to any hdmi tv with no problems. Make sure in preferences you select to turn audio on because it also comes out of the cable. :)

Apple system profile.However, I have the latest and it's still pretty unreliable. :(That said, it's impossible to say it's the adaptor for sure. Maybe it's my monitor. :)I hope yours is more reliable than mine!

I had a something like that happen but only because of a bad connection with my cables and I was trying to do a dual monitor with a lesser resolution. FixING the cables and getting a better second monitor fixed it for me. Hope you didn't just get a bad monitor

I also only have 2 HDMI outlets, so I purchased a 3 port HDMI switch, and hooked up Apple TY...wotks fine

I haven't, but bought it over two years ago and haven't had a problem since. This worked seamlessly with apple TV, and should solve the same issue with gaming stations.

Check to make sure your iMac "Thunderbolt Port" is actually that. Your problem may be that the port is actually a display port and not a Thunderbolt. They are shaped exactly the same.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

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
