This is not able to charge my macbook pro 13 inch retina display. Is there any driver I need to install?

You could be looking at the wrong docking station if your intention is to plug your macbook pro onto it to charge your device. StarTech Thunderbolt Laptop Docking station is like a extension/hub for additional ports.

Dear Jim, I bought 2 Data Doubler, one for my Macbook Pro 13" is 2011, and it has worked, and the other for a friend that has a Macbook Pro 15" 2010 and also worked perfectly, the Data Doubler comes with the proper connectors, best regards

This adapter is only for a firewire port, either 400 or 800. It doesn't appear that the MacBook Pro with retina display has a firewire port. You will need to purchase the Thunderbolt to firewire adapter first, then depending on if you have a cable that is firewire 400 or firewire 800 you may need the adapter. I would purchase the Thunderbolt to Firewire dongle first, then try your firewire cable. If it doesn't fit, then purchase the Firewire 400 to Firewire 800. Apple has the Thunderbolt to Firewire dongle, I just bought one myself. It is about $30.00.

That's how I use this for, external monitor. Since there are two types of display port for Macbook Pro, make sure you buy the right one. My Macbook Pro was bought couple of years ago so it usese thunderbolt display port.

Mr. Sohel, I have a Mac and it does not charge my laptop. The charger uses only USB cords. Donna

There is no product called simply "MacBook" anymore. Apple currently sells three different 13" laptops. Whether this will work depends on which model exactly you have: - If you have a 13" MacBook Air, yes this will charge perfectly - If you have a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, it will work although it may charge more slowly than normal. That computer came with a 60 watt charger and this one is only 45 watts. (The wattage is used for both charging the battery and running the computer at the same time, so unless you are working the computer hard you probably won't notice the difference.) - If you have the older 13" MacBook Pro (*not* retina display) that Apple still sells, this will NOT work. That model requires the older MagSafe connector, not the newer "MagSafe 2".

I have it plugged in to a MAC Powerbook. It is USB 2.0, I see no reason why it would not work.

I could not find anything with the model numbers provided, but as long as your Mac uses a Mini DisplayPort and you're trying to connect it to a device with a VGA cable the connection will work.

This is just for old Mac users that has an extra charger. The connector is not the same for retina display Macs, so this connector let you use your old extra charger.

There are plenty of display link drivers for OSX 10.6 and higher... you have to go to the display link website and get the driver http://www.displaylink.com/support/sla.php?fileid=87

The MacBook Pro need an adapter for any standard monitor. You need a converter to VGA or DVI.

i plug it into my Macbook air, using a mini displayport to VGA adapter and a VGA chord. It works perfectly.

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!

I also have macbook pro running the latest OS X it works, the network works, the usb ports work I also believe when I first got it the monitor port worked. It is a little quirky, like when you plug in drives into the port they run even when the MBP is not connected. and you will not get full resolution on the monitor like you have on the MBP.

I use this adaptor to connect a projector to my Macbook Pro. I have not tried to connect a monitor. Call the Apple Store and ask them.

You should really have a USB3 hub for this EVGA adapter. I believe you can use both HDMI and DVI simultaneously. One of my co-workers tested it out and it seemed to work fine on his 2012 Macbook Pro. You may also be able to use the thunderbolt port and get a MiniDP-&gt;DVI (or hdmi) adapter for a third monitor.
