Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter

NOTE: Does NOT work with new 2009 Mini

This adapter is incompatible with Macintosh models which use the NVIDIA 9400m graphics chips. That includes any new 2009 MacBooks and Minis. Apple needs to update the information on this page.

It works fine with older MacBooks and Minis based on Intel integrated graphics.

Stay away from Dynex's similar product

I just bought the Dynex version of this adapter and have spent the last hour dealing with it and the extremely awesome Apple support, and have had no luck at all. I'm just hoping to prevent future headache for anyone who who is looking for this product. Don't settle for for the offbrand!

Mini Display Port

I am a convert from PC to Mac Pro for our Dj Business. I am very dis-appointed that Apple switch from mini DVI display port to a Mini Display Port on the new Mac Pro
but without available adopter to output video to S-video or RCA video. I purchased a $2500 laptop for music video but could not use this expensive laptop without the adapter.

Did not work with Mini Early 2009

But it did work with my roommate's macbook. The guys at the apple store told me it was supposed to work with my machine, but it did not. I would be wary about purchasing this for a 2009 mac mini.

Doesn't work for 2009 Mac Mini

... even though the guys at the Apple Store said it would. Apple needs to be more clear about what machines it does work with; more importantly, what machines it doesn't work with.

Works well.

I have a white macbook I purchased in April of 2008, and this mini-dvi to video
cable works really well. Just be sure to check your manual to see what kind of port
you have. My manual showed that I have a mini-dvi port.
Also the other interesting thing about this device is that when you plug in the
mini-dvi to your computer the screen changes over to a different size ratio for it
to show up on your tv, it's pretty neat, you can even surf the net and watch it on your tv.

Perfect

This adapter works perfectly. I use this along with a Karaoke application for playing shows. I simply plug this in and it displays my lyrics perfectly on a 42" LCD connected by a regular component video cable! I am very pleased with this product. To those who say it isn't compatible... you need to do some more research before you buy. The new unibody macbooks do not have a mini-dvi port. They use the new mini-display port. Just make sure you have the right video output, and you will be happy with this product.
