GDicker, welcome to the forum.
Here is an explanation of both connection types:
DVI to HDMI
DVI is a digital signal in the same format as the video portion of HDMI. The difference is that DVI doesn't carry the audio signal like HDMI does. This means that if you are only using the video signal you can use a simple DVI to HDMI plug adapter that changes the physical connections. If you want to go from a DVI source with audio, you'll need an active converter to combine the video signal from the DVI source and the audio into the HDMI signal.
As you can see, DVI is a digital video signal and HDMII is a digital video and audio connection. Simply using a DVI to HDMI adapter is only going to give you digital video. Therefore, the advantage of the DVI to HDMI will be to give you a digital signal. VGA is an analog connection.

HT4260 I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?

I have an AirPort Extreme and a linksys router. What is the best way to get 6-8 wired connections with ac speeds?
Appreciate your assistance.

The answer depends on whether the AirPort Extreme is your main router....or...the Linksys device is your main router.
In either case, the two devices must connect together using a wired Ethernet connection using CAT5e or CAT6 cabling.
Any version of the AirPort Extreme produced within the last 5 years will have Gigabit Ethernet ports. In order to get the same speeds from the Linksys router, it will also need to be Gigabit Ethernet capable.
If you need additional Ethernet ports, you will need to add a Gigabit Ethernet switch to either the AirPort Extreme or Linksys router.
It is assumed that your other devices connecting to the AirPort Extreme and Linksys router will also have Gigabit Ethernet capability.
Not sure why you mention "ac" speeds in your post. This relates to wireless connections, not wired.

Mini dvi to hdmi connection issues

Trying to set up my 2007 imac to my Panasonic tv. I have a mini dvi to hdmi converter and an hdmi cable connected to my tv. I only get a blank screen on the tv, but it seems that the computer is connecting. When i go into sytem preferences for display monitoring I get the second screen saying Panasonic and set up which reolution I want but theres no way to detect the display. Any help getting picture would be greatly appreciated!!

Do you have the correct HDMI input selected in the TVs menu...?
Aditionally, there might also be settings for connecting a PC to the TV.

IMac, mini-DVI to HDMI connection stopped working

Hi,
I recently switched from my good old white plastic iMac (late 2006, 20", Lion, 10.7.5 ) to another, slightly newer alu-body iMac (mid 2007, 20", Mountain Lion, 10.8.3).
As before I used a Samsung SyncMaster as "desktop extension" connected via mini-DVI to a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter ( http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0088BUT40/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 ).
The Samsung monitor is recognized, system information is able to report about it, system logs are fine, nothing special - BUT: no image. The Samung display remains dark.
I already searched the internet, the community, the whatever came to my browser.
I think it is an HDPC or windowserver issue but I have no idea if I can fix it.
Any ideas?
Sven

MINI DVI to HDMI Connection Issue

I have a July 2009 white macbook 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OSX 10.5.8.
I have been trying to connect my laptop to a Sanyo 42in HDTV and a VIZIO 47in with no success. I purchased two different mini-DVI to HDMI cables(both with great reviews) and neither has worked. My laptop does pick up the signal from the TV and the TV does notice something has been picked up because it ocassionally flashes or says invlaid format. I have tried several different screen resolutions and have "Mirroring ON".
Any suggestions on what I can try to make this work?
I would really appreciate any help .. THANK YOU!

Using TV as display with mini dvi and hdmi connections

Hi
I want to use my flat screen tv as a display for my airbook. I have a mini dvi to hdmi connector (supplied with my mac) and an hdmi cable. When I connect, I can see my wallpaper on the tv and my cursor but nothing else. I can move the cursor on the tv with the trackpad on my mac but there are no icons, toolbars etc. What am I doing wrong and can anyone help?

If you want to see your desktop (icons, menus, etc.) you need to go into Apple Menu: System Preferences -> Displays and select "Mirror Display" under the Arrangement tab. There is also an option that allows you to move the menu bar over to the external display.

Best way to use Sun Web Server connection pooling with Web Application?

I have a number of applications that run Oracle and MySQL queries via Sun Web Server 6.1. I use the Web Server's built-in connection pooling, which works fairly well.
As an interface with the connections I receive from the Web Server, I use a class, which (1) accepts the SQL and database name from a tool, (2) Opens the connection, runs the SQL, closes the connection, (3) puts the content of the result set into a Vector of Hashtables, (4) returns that Vector to the tool.
Why do I use this Vector? That way, in my applications, I don't have to deal with opening connections (or getting them from the pool) and I don't have to worry about closing connections, because that's done automatically by the interface class.
Is this a dumb approach to use? I'm a bit paranoid about open DB connections, because we have had a number of problems where connections would not be closed, go stale in oracle, and clog up the database resources.
Can you suggest a better way to (1) smartly control opening and closing connections, and (2) enabling fast database access?
Sorry, but given this Java/Sun Web Server double topic, I'm going to post the same message on the Web Server board.
Any tips?
dailysun
P.S. For instance, in my tool, I call the interface class in this manner:
Vector results_v = Database.getSelect("SELECT * FROM TEST","database1");
getSelect uses the first string as the SQL and the second string as the jndi name of the Web server's database resource. getSelect does all the context stuff to get a connection from the pool, runs the SQL, puts the resultset into a Vector of Hastables (where each row is one Hashtable), and returns the Vector.

Best way to view DVI ADPCM format in FCP

i need to import footage taken from a mini portable camera and the format is in AVI ( DVI ADPCM ). Obviously the Mac quicktime does not recognize it....Any idea ??? Thanks

Get the camera, dub the material to a more universally available codec such as DV. You could also play the tape/disk directly out of the camera to another conventional DV device and capture from Firewire.
Try searching at versiontracker or macupdate.com to see if there are any conversion utilities available. I don't think there are but I haven't looked recently.
Also try looking carefully around the mfr's Web site for the user group forum. There will be hundreds of similar posts from surprised owners of the cameras who have discovered to their horror they cannot use them with their cool Macintosh computers.

Mac Mini Server - Best Way to Enable Multiple Users to Connect via Remote Access Concurrently?

Hi
Is there a limit on the number of users that can connect simultaneously via remote access to a Mac Mini running Mac Mini Server?

If you have the server application on your Mac mini there is an upper limit but it is so high that I wouldn't worry about it. Depending on how you will be using the server and what it will be supporting there is a practical limit based on performance not software. If you reach the limit of satisfactory performance, the solution is adding another Mac mini server.

DVI HDMI connections

Is it possible to have both the DVI and HDMI connected at the same time? If I connect both the desktop will show but no icons. If I disconnect one of the connections then I get the icons to show
Thanks

Source Control - Selects the video input signal.
DVI Selects DVI as the video input signal.
HDMI Selects HDMI as the video input signal.
VGA Selects VGA as the video input signal.
Default Source - Selects the default or primary video input signal when the monitor is connected to two active and valid video sources. The monitor will automatically determine the video format.
Auto Switch Source - Turns the system's automatic video signal input to On or Off.
"Auto Switch Source" is designed to be used when you have multiple sources connected to the monitor and wish to use one of them at a time. Example... you connect a HDTV tuner to HDMI and a computer to DVI. Turn on the computer and the monitor displays the computer output. Turn off the computer and turn on the HDTV tuner and the monitor automatically adjusts and display the tuner output.
If both sources are on the "Default Source" option selects which input to display based on its setting.
"Source Control" is for manually selecting a source.

Connecting iMAC mini to HDMI imput of my monitor

I have an 22'' Asus monitor with 3 inputs (VGA, DVI and HDMI) and connecting my iMAC mini to DVI input (through HDMI->DVI adapter) all works perfectly. But connecting it directly to HDMI input of my monitor, using HDMI-HDMI cable - the image is very unclear: especially this is remarkable for texts...
Any idea?

My guess maybe that when you connect via the DVI port on the Asus, the Mac mini is correctly detecting the resolutin and setting it self to match. However when connecting via HDMI it is not chosing the same (best) resolutuon. Can you do the following to help diagnose this.
On the Mac open System Preferences
Select Displays
Make sure show in menu bar is enabled (ticked)
Now go to the Displays menu in the menu bar it should show the current resolution
Repeat step 4 for both the DVI and HDMI connections, we want to see if they are the same or different.

External preview - DVI to HDMI

Hi,
In order to obtain the best possible quality of external monitor preview - is there any difference between DVI to DVI, HDMI to HDMI, or DVI to HDMI connection or it`s just the same? Also, I`m considering to buy Palit 1GB RADEON HD 4870 video card (http://www.dclstore.co.uk/desc-palit-1gb-radeon-hd-4870-sonic-pci-e-2.0-dual-edition-retai l-xae-4870s0502-pm9248-pid-2516.aspx). Good choice or not?
thanks
Dejan

You can use the HDTV as a seond monitor and try to create a screen layout where you have the payback monitor on the HDTV and the rest of your screen layout on the first.
