i have a 2012 MacBook Pro still works fine. i bought a thunderbolt to hdmi adapter to play ps4 using MacBook as a screen. Whenever I plug it in it flat out shuts down my MacBook. Also when I turn it on while it's connected I can't find any display opgions. Please help!
MacBook Pro
The MacBook Pro is a computer. It has no way to be connected as somebody else's screen.
I am not sure how you decided it could be used that way, but it cannot be.
A normal Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter is for sending video from a computer's Thunderbolt port to a display's HDMI port.
You need a video capture device to send HDMI video from the PS4 to your computer's Thunderbolt port.
