I understand you have a Lightning to HDMI adapter you would like to use with your MacBook Pro.
Those Lightning adapters are for use with iOS devices with Lightning ports.

The ports on you MacBook would probably include a Thunderbolt, Mini DisplayPort or other display port.

Depending on your MacBook you may be able to use a different HDMI adapter.

Thanks for the follow up and clarification on what you are trying to accomplish. It seems the Duet app allows the use of an iOS device as an extra display for your Mac and requires download of an application that will download the graphics driver that allows both devices to communicate. The following link from the Developer's site provides more information:

If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding Duet, there is a "Contact Us" form where you can reach out to the Developer at the bottom of that page.
Thanks again for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers.

Duet works fine, iTunes can see my iPad, I can import and do everything that they're designed to. When I use the adapter, the book does and sees nothing. Hence book pro doesn't read the adapter. Why?
