My wife works in an elementary school. She needs to show some pics on a smartboard. What if any are the options to acheive this?

Thanks for any help.

Is there nobody who knows how to hook-up a macbook pro unibody to a smart board. Someone must have an idea.  Help please.

Hi.

Not sure if this will help, since I only have a Macbook and I'm not sure what a smartboard is but I have hooked up my MB to an overhead projector using an adaptor that I purchased at Carbon Computing. How about giving them a call?

Sorry for the lack of response - my first question to help answer your question is - which Smartboard product is it she is trying to use? My second question is whether it's the Smartboard or the projector she is trying to connect? Third question - which model of MacBook is she using, as the video out connector on the MacBook has changed over the years.

The Smartboard, if I remember correctly, only requires a powered USB 2.0 cable.

Connecting the video out form the computer to the projectors interface is usually, but not always, VGA (RGB or Component), S-video, Composite video or HDMI - that's for the UX60 projector, the other projectors may offer different connections.

VGA is easy to accomplish, Apple sells adaptors for this conversion at most Apple Stores and Resellers, as do Belkin and Dr. Bott - but theirs are easier to find online than in a store. Belkin and Dr. Bott are both good places to look for the HDMI adaptor - the best option of the four, but a VGA connection will work just fine in most cases, and its a bit cheaper.

Hope this helps, sorry you had to wait so long for an answer, and...

Happy Mac'ing!
