Mini (2009) and Mini-DVI to video (s-video) does not work?

Before I return the mini and adapter I just need to confirm what I've read in other threads.
The Mini-DVI to Video adapter is useless with the latest Mac mini's. And there is really no simple way to get s-video or composite video from the newest minis.
Is this correct?

You need a converter, and not an adapter with 2009 Minis.
But I don't see why the solution in this thread is overly complicated:

  • Im tryting to install new itunes but says windows installer, you are tring to use is a network resource that is unavailable. find folder itunes.msi  i dont have a folder like that and anything i use that is related does not work. help me?

    "you are tring to use is a network resource that is unavailable. find folder itunes.msi" i dont have a folder like that and anything i use that is related does not work. ive tryed to uninstall but still does the same thing when.

    Should the advice above not fix things for you...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Itunes is not working on my mac. I'm trying to redeem a gift card and everytime I enter my password it does not work.  Also, when I try and browse songs, everything is blank

    It's been a while but it should work on a Mac because Macs can read Windows formatted devices. Otherwise, you can perform a restore operation to return it to the Mac format. If you go to support.apple.com/manuals/ you can find a copy of the user manual for the model you have in which this is all explained.

  • TS2771 what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all

    what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Lots of WIFI needs a username and password to get access. I guess you're lucky and yours is set up unsecured.
    Normal secured WiFi requires only a password to get access. The password is used to encrypt traffic between your device and the WiFi access point. If whatever you are using requires a username as well then it is not simply normal secured WiFi. It might be a subscription WiFi service like GOGO, ATT, etc., or a service with authentication, i.e., college campus, etc. To help you out we need to know what you are using and what connection dialog you are being presented with. You don't have exactly the same problem as the original poster. He is having a problem entering a password into the password dialog that iOS presents when one tries to connect to a normal secured WiFi network. Could you clarify exactly which WiFi service you are using.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • Ipod Video to TV does not work :(

    I just bought the iPod AV Connection Kit today, it came with the Universal Dock a RCA cable that connects to line out, but for some reason I have trouble displaying videos. It seems like my sound works but video does not show up on TV.
    I tried changing setting on iPod to TV>ON still does not work, I tried S-Video still no picture. Can anyone help? Is my cord or dock defectetive? Thanks
    iPod Video   Windows XP  

    There is no "Photos" library in itunes, this is why its not listed in iTUnes source list. On the PC it just takes photos from the folder you tell it to to add to the iPod.
    What you have to do is on the ipod, goto Photos>Slide show settings>TV Out and set it to "On" or "Ask" whichever you prefer.
    On - This setting sends the signal/Photo to the TV screen and not on the ipod screen.
    Ask - This setting means everytime on the ipod it will ask you (When you goto slide show) if you want to turn TV Out on or off

  • Playing Slowmotion video over airplay does not work with ios update!!!!!

    after upgrading last ios , airplay to shoot slowmotion video does not work.
    I was expecting it to be fixed with recent update, but still not working!!!
    I use it for education at my clinic - which is essential, and how come apple does not fix it at all?
    or apple should give downgrade option at least.
    FIx it, fix it, fix it!
    Main purpose of puchasing ipad air2 was to airplay slowmotion video to big screen and i  am quite disappointed with my purchsing ipad air 2.

    As the original poster, I too had issues with my iPhone 4 (4.2.1) and Apple TV 2 playing nice. The Airplay icon was visible for music, and worked perfectly. However, when watching a video, purchased through iTunes, only the "audio" option would be selectable for Airplay. After updating the Apple TV software, everything works perfectly well. When watching a video on my iPhone and selecting the Airplay icon, one of the options is to play "video" through the Apple TV, not simply audio.
    It would have been nice to know that my Apple TV needed an update when I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.2.1.

  • Capturing video via Firewire does not work on CS6

    I recently installed 64 bits Windows 7.
    The capture function in Premiere CS6 does not work with my panasonic camcorder NV-GS500
    Windows recognizes the camcorder, but I cannot do anything with it in the Capture window.
    This not an Premiere-specific problem , because also wit Nero I have the same problem.
    I expect that the Windows7 driver for my camera needs to be upodated, but Panasonic cannot help me.
    Is there anybody out in the Premiere community who knows a solution?

    Windows 7 Changed the standard 1394 driver from XP which allows Win 7 to Throttle bandwidth on Firewire devices. This is why Ann mentioned the legacy driver which is basically the old XP driver. The bandwidth throttling causes allot of issues with certain cameras during the Handshake process which is why you often have deck control but no preview or primary video stream. If you follow the instructions in the link above or the paste below to set the Legacy driver for the 1394 controller , that will often resolve these issues. However some firmware on different manufacturers Firewire controllers include these C-State Bandwidth throttling sets so it still may not work. In that case you want to get a Firewire card with a TI chipset. The firmware on TI chips are clean and dont include the C-State changes.
    Solution 6: Use the Legacy FireWire driver (Windows 7 x64)  
      Click the Windows Start button; type "device manager" into the Search box and select Device Manager
      Swivel open the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" item
      Right-click on your listed 1394 controller; select "Update Driver Software"
      Click the "Browse my computer for driver software" button, followed by the "Let me pick from a list" button
      Select the option that has "(Legacy)" at the end of the name; click Next and let Windows install the driver
    Make sure you restart the system after you make the change to legacy. Also do not have the Firewire device plugged in when changing the driver to Legacy.
      Close out of dialogs and retry capture'

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace.  Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone?
