Just returned home from the US with my new mac mini.....and mini dvi to s video adapter which the Apple Store sold me....
Imagine my horror when I connect it all up and get no signal to the avant, check all the connections work and then discover this on the Apple Website
"It's amazing how many people at Apple tech support do not realize that
the mini-DVI to Video adapter does not work with the '09 mini. I was
told twice that it did, but then confirmed with an Apple Store manager
that it did not, just as it doesn't with the just updated white MB.
Analog video is dead to Apple. There is no "fix," as it's a "feature,"
not a defect.
If you are desperate for a work around you could try a mini-DVI to VGA
to VGA to TV converter to Composite or S-Video. That was too klugy for
me and I'm unsure what the picture quality would end up looking like."
Anyone have any sensible ideas????
