Q: I just bought a Micro-DVI to video adapter to try and hook my MacBook Pro 13" I bought mid 2009 to my old TV, the adapter doesn't seem to fit any of the connections, is this the right adapter?

More then likely NOT. I think the 2009 MBPs have a Display port not a Mini DVI port. But I am not sure.

Go to Apple support and download the manual for your year/model.

2009 MBP's use Mini Display Ports (MDP), you have the wrong adaptor.

That helped I searched for MDP to video adapters, one came up called "Innovation Mini DisplayPort to AV Convertor, care to geuss if it might work or has anyone out there tried this adapter?

Why don't you just buy the Apple adaptors? from Apple?

Apple doesn't offer a MDP to AV or componet connect . Only DVI and VGA. They also don't offer one to HDMI. You have to go aftermarket to get one to HDMI.

Quite right, but as the OP does not have component or composite connections not important.

To the OP, this does work, but is not the cheapest, and as it appears that Apple no longer sell an SVideo adaptor cable 3rd party it will have to be.
