Answer
You need Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter for all resolutions under 1920 x 1200 (24" wide). For resolutions over that you need the Dual-Link.
Everyone assumes (I assume) that you are talking about a macbook, not a mac pro, because I got lots of different answers. I had to find the specs myself, and bought one against the advice of the clerk.- Answered by Ashton H from Denver

How can I hook my 13" white macbook up to a projecter?
I'm using ProPresenter to project worship slides on a screen. We will occasionally have video and audio as well. What do I need to get this to work? Will the DVI adapter allow sound and video also?

Will it transfer audio?

Best Answer:You will need to use a 3.5mm jack to RCA (black and red - Left and Right) cable as the MBP will only output audio from the headphone jack. This is probably the cheapest option to get sound from your Mac to your TV. Quality will not be the best as it will be analogue.

Does anyone know what kind of adaptor if any I will need to connect my 13" 2011 Mac Book pro to a standard lcd projector? Thank you in advance.

AnswerThe 13" 2011 Mac Book pro uses a Mini DisplayPort. So as long as the adapter goes from a male Mini DisplayPort to a technology your projector uses, you should be good to go. Check the manual of the projector if you are unsure of the interface options.

I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV?
I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV? I understand I need audio cables as well, which I have. Does a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI exist to "cut out the middle man?"

AnswerTo answer your first question, yes, with the setup you have, you should be able to output HD video to your TV. Granted you purchased the proper DVI-D to HDMI cable as indicated in the reviews and questions above.
The second question, no, currently there is no Apple sponsored Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in existence, and if it did exist, it would have been available for you to purchase when you checked out. -
