I have a mid-2012 macbook pro 13. I have found multiple sources that say this machine can support multiple monitors. However, I have yet to find any source that explains how?!? The apple supported Mini DisplayPort adaptors only connect to one HDMI, does apple support more than one monitor but don't support the hardware to make it happen?

sorry, you are correct, thunderbolt. My head is swimming with terms as I try to research this topic. However, it has only one Thunderbolt port. How an I connect two displays with one port? I don't see any splitters, and wouldn't that just duplicate the monitors even if there was one? The goal is to have two extended monitors. Perhaps it isn't possible with this machine.
hello idk if you still use this page but here is how i would do it.
i have a tv with hdmi
and a moniter with vga i can connect my mac to both and i have a cord for both but in order to have three screens you would need your macbook hdmi to hdmi and vga to vga aand this item off of amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJESS4E/ref=asc_df_B00XJESS4E5237947/?tag=hyprod-20 &creative=395033&creativeASIN=B00XJESS4E&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198138936631&hvpos= 1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17681811049225106013&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl =&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031161&hvtargid=pla-350995644388
then you just connect everything to ewverything.
It has to be Thunderbolt between your Mac and the first monitor, then Thunderbolt from the first monitor to the second monitor. It won't work using HDMI.
The mid-2012 macbook pro 13 has a Thunderbolt connector not a mini-displayport. You can connect 2 Thunderbolt displays.

You connect the MacBook Pro to the first monitor and then connect the second monitor to the first monitor.
I wish it was that easy. I have the first monitor connected and working fine. plugged an HDMI from the 1st to 2nd and 2nd monitor shows nothing, nor does any options show 2 monitors in the displays section of sys pref.
will it work from macbook to displayport and then monitor displayport out to display port on second monitor?
