I'll need some kind of adapter, because a while back I tried to connect my Mac
Mini to a relatively new monitor, and the connector on the end of the monitor's
cable did not match the end of the cable that came with my Mac.

I could be wrong and totally making an idiot of myself, but if you get a
monitor you won't need the adapter would you? It seems as though people are
just getting regular monitors for their minis.

Hi:
I did indeed receive your message, but it seemed to indicate that I would
have to wire the adapter myself. I don't think I could do this. Trouble with
getting a monitor is that none of the ones I've seen have the correct end that
would fit into the adapter that came with my Mac Mini. I'll keep looking.

Did you get the message I sent you? My husband called tech support for
you regarding a dummy adapter. I don't know if it is the one you have. You
could get a very small used monitor for about $50 that wouldn't take up much
room, but would fix this issue.

That adapter simply does not work! Please do not advise individuals
that it does, because it is not correct. When I attached it to my Mac Mini,
the machine refused to even boot! We need to quash this adapter thing now! I
wasted money on the adapter based upon the recommendations of well-meaning
individuals, but enough already. It doesn't work.

Correct. You want the whatever your computer has to video adapter.

There are different flavors depending on what the port is on the
back of your computer. The one noted above is the mini-dvi to video but some
computers might have the micro-DVI which is

I haven't seen it stated clearly in this thread. Was the
adaptor purchased the Mac to NTSC adaptor? That's the only one that works. The
NTSC adaptor tells the Mac that there is a monitor attached even if there isn't
one. The DVI adaptor is not the right one. That one still passes through the
monitor detect signaling so it just moves the problem further down the chain of
connections. For those not familiar, without a monitor connected the Mac tries
to detect what's hooked up. This detection apparently hangs the machine, makes
it run horribly slow or other bad behaviors if there isn't a monitor hooked up.
If you hook up an NTSC adaptor the detect runs as though a screen is hooked up
and then everything works.

Hi,
I agree, if I would've known the frustration my Mac mini would cause me
I would've bought an iMac. Sometimes it doesn't pay to try and save a
little money.

Well I had exactly the same problem last week.
My only recommendation is to buy a cheap monitor just for the mini which is
what I did.
Of course you can also do what I did and buy yourself an early Christmas
present (an imac).

Hello:
I have finally gotten around to purchasing the mini to dvi adapter that
many
folks told me would solve the problems I am having with my Mac Mini's poor
performance on the web, and its inability to play DVDS. I have been very
busy because of a change in my job description, so I've kind of put the
Mac
on hold. However, life is calming down and I decided to get down to it
with
the mac. Imagine my frustration when, I received the adapter today,
connected it to the back of my Mac, started the machine, and I have no
speech. If I start the machine without this adapter connected, VO comes
up
as expected, and if I subsequently plug in the adapter all is still well,
but Safari is still just as slow as it was before. I'm wondering why the
system doesn't seem to come up if the adapter is plugged in. If any of
you
have an idea what could be causing this and, better yet, if any of you
have
a solution, I will be incredibly grateful.

Subject: A question about streaming audio in vlc media player
Hi all,
Whenever I stream audio in Vlc through an m3u playlist, the player skips
ahead to the next track in the playlist before the current one finishes
playing. What's going on here, and how can I fix this?
Thanks.
Jes.
