Mac mini adapter

Just ordered a 2010 mac mini, just wondering about the HDMI to DVI that comes with the mini. It appears to be very short, I may have my monitor on a LCD stand with the mini underneath so it may be long enough. It it meant to be used like that or to add a cable to it. Will HDMI be the best choice. My monitor is a Dell that has VGA,DVI,HDMI.

Sorry about the terminology... Just a standard HDMI cable is all that's needed. (male to male, which they all are)
I don't see the Category 2 version but to my knowledge there is just one HDMI standard. The "high speed" might be gold plated connectors or just an excuse to charge more.

  • Length of new mac mini adapter

    Just ordered a Dell 21.5 monitor yesterday as I plan on ordering a new mac mini today. The monitor has DVI and HDMI connections. I will probably use the mac mini HDMI to connect to my Samsung LCD TV for watching movies and use the DVI connection to the monitor for web surfing,etc. Just curious if this is an acceptable setup and what is the length of the HDMI to DVI that comes with the mac mini. Thanks.

    That should be an acceptable set up. The adapter is only around 100 mm to 125 mm in length, e.g. roughly four to five inches.

  • Loss of picture with samsung and mac mini

    I just bought a mac mini and tried to hook it up to a samsung flatsceen new'ish tv using a mini dvi cable it worked for about an hour after initially coming up with a blank screen, even on the tv stations, (screen went blue.) Then after turning everything of and starting again the picture came back, also mac mini picture working.
    But as I said after about an hour the screen flickered and went to blue again and now we cannot get tv or anything just sound?
    Any suggestions please.

    Thanks for your reply:
    I have two cables both supplied by mac when i bought the mini, one short one which goes into the mac and a long dvi cable which goes into the tv one end and the mac mini adapter the other. I will try all the cables again to see if any are loose it is a possibility. I also have booked samsung tech to visit as the tv is still under warranty. He is coming on Saturday which might or might not resolve if it is a TV issue - thanks

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter and Mac mini (2009)

    Can anyone tell me whether the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter listed here:
    http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M9319G/A
    works with the latest Mac mini (early 2009)?
    If it does not what other solutions are there to connect to composite, component or s-video?

    KC from Ann Arbor, MI had this to say as a review on the page to which you have linked;
    10-May-2009
    I bought a Mac Mini (May 2009) and this Mini-DVI to Video adapter with plans to use it to send an S-video signal to an analog TV. Though the sales staff at the Apple store said it should work, it does not. The graphics card apparently should support it, and it may be addressed with a future driver update, but as of now this does not work. I have used a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and monitor to verify that the port is working, and also verified that the S-video cable and TV input work. There are third party VGA to S-video/RCA adapters available so I plan to use one of those for my purposes. This is probably a 5-star product when used with the right Mac; however, Apple should have made it clear that having a mini-DVI port on your Mac is necessary but not sufficient for this to work - hence the 3 stars.

  • Using Mac Mini and a 26" Samsung Tube TV with Apple DVI to Video Adapter

    So upon first hooking this adapter up from my Mac Mini to my samsung 27" tube TV, it worked fine–but everything was massive in size. I started changing resolution sizes in the preferences panel and one of them set the screen flickering vertically, like a mismatch in refresh rates.
    Anybody else have this issue and resolve it successfully? It obviously works, it was for me for the first couple minutes, but I can't figure out what sent it flickering–and how to resolve it.
    The TV is connected VIA composite (RCA) cable from the adapter to the video-in port.

    Try starting in Safe mode. That should get your screen back.

  • Mac mini,DVI to ADC adapter.

    Looking at picking up the latest Mini to run logic on. I used to have an older Mac mini that I connected to the Apple studio display with a DVI to ADV adapter. Will I be able to get this display to work with a new Mini?

    The new minis DON'T have a DVI out. There's an HDMI and there's T-Bolt. You can get adapters for either to VGA, DVI, HDMI and I've even seen RCA adapters. Apple probsably has HDMI-ADV or T-Bolt-ADV adapters too.
    However you connect it, if you Google it long enough, you'll find an adapter to suit your needs.

  • Mac mini - dvi to svideo adapter - no screen on tv

    Hello, I really don't know if anyone knows an answer of my problem.
    No one did this far.
    So I signed up here.
    Ok, my question.
    I have a mac mini 1.42 ghz. I want to connect it to my sony 100hz trinitron TV with an dvi to s-video adapter. It doesn't work.
    I also have a G5 1,6 ghz. At the back it has 2 connections for a screen. I use 1 connection for my studio display, the other one I use for my sony tv to watch movies etc with the dvi to svideo adapter and the svideo cable in the connector an the tv. It works fine with synchronize the screens.
    Why doesn't the connector work on my mac mini to my tv??
    This is the connector I use:

    Nookie.

    Nevermind. Due this problem I bought a lcd tv a bit earlier then expected.
    So my old tv left the building!!
    Now I dont have the problem anymore.
    No more s-video for me, bought another cable like it's supposed to be. Digital.
    Thanks.

  • My headphones won't fit into the jack in my Mac Mini. Do I need a special type of adapter?

    Hi, I would like to plug my headphones into my Mac Mini, but they don't fit. I have tried many different types and brands of headphones, but nothing works. Do I need a special type of headphone or a special adapter or something? Or was it an error in building the product? I'd really like the help soon, thanks!

    No. The iPod uses headphoes with the standard 3.5 mm plug.
    Is the problem that the plug cant be fully inserted?

  • Mac Mini with DVI to video adapter REFUSES to display on TV!! Please help!!

    I purchased an apple DVI to Video adapter - which says for Mac mini and power mac G5 on the package. However not matter what I do, I can't get a picture on my TV, I have tried on 2 TV's and I get nothing but blank screen on both, with occassional grey flicking.
    I thought maybe the adapter was faulty so had it changed, the new one shows the exact same behaviour. I have started up in safe mode, with the TV connected and still nothing, I have reset the PRAM and still nothing. Trashed the windowserver plists - and still nothing!!
    I have searched through the forums as much as I can and can't find any answers.
    Someone please help me out and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
    Thanks very much.
    Naj

    Hi Thesserax,
    Thanks for your reply, however I have already tried your suggestions - my tv's do not let me switch manually between PAL/NTSC, and I am definately on the correct channel.
    I also tried connecting it to the TV and VNC'ing into it to try to change the resolution, however I although I see the correct CRT resolution opions i.e. 800x600 and 1024x768 only, I notice that I don't see any tv specific options such as overscan, and that the rates are stuck at 60Hz (NSTC) - I am in europe so the tv is PAL 50Hz and the adapter is also labelled PAL.
    Any other ideas, please?
    Thank you

  • Which adapter do I need to connect my new Mac Mini to my old Apple Cinema HD monitor?

    I have a perfectly good Apple Cinema HD monitor (model M8536), but it has an ADC connection, and my new Mac Mini isn't compatible with it. I've bought a new screen for the Mac Mini, but there are going to be times when I need to run two screens in parallel on the Mini. Can anyone tell me which adapter I need to do this? I've looked at the Apple DVI to ADC connector  (M8661LL), but I'm not sure this is what I need, and they're quite pricey, even second-hand on eBay, so I don't want to make a mistake!
    Thanks!

    Thanks, dwb ... unfortunately I don't think I'd get very much for my old display, it's so old (> 10 years)! But it still works perfectly, and I'm loathe to throw it away ... and there are going to be times when I need the two screens, so even though I've bought a new 27" Philips monitor, it would be good just to buy an adapter to hook up the old screen ...
