IMac 10.4.11 Because permanent vertical lines have appeared on my screen, I need to get a new monitor. The adapter apple sells goes from female VGA to mini-DVI. What kind of cable should I get as well:female to male?

If I use an adapter (female VGA to mini-DVI) for my iMac 10.4.11 OSX, I also need a cable. Should that cable be female VGA to male VGA?
Permanent vertical lines have appeared on my display, and connecting to another display (monitor) requires a cable and adapter. I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct cable for the Apple adapter.

What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
I just presumed so really.
What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
From Lelouch

A permanent horizontal line has appeared on my screen and will not go away. How do I get rid of it?

A permanent horizontal line has appeared on my screen and I cannot seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

You have the technicians at an Apple store genius bar examine your MBA and determine the cause and possible remedy. Make an appointment.
Ciao.
It is probably a GPU or display issue.

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Hello:
I suggest you take it in for diagnosis/service. The problem would appear to be hardware.

What kind of lock should I get for my Macbook?

Hi! I'm going off to college in a couple months and I want to be able to lock my MacBook Pro 13" to a desk or something in my room so it's secure while I'm away. I've looked at a couple Kensington locks which have had mixed reviews. I'm just wondering if you have bought a lock that has worked well. My price range is anything $50 or below. Thank you in advance.

If wjosten suggestion doesn't work for you in college, try the link i provided. At least you'll save on dog food and don't have to clean up any dog poopy.

I have a canon 3Ti and I want to do pet photography. What kind of lens should I get?

I want to do pets mostly outdoors and some inside. I use phot shop but still like to do less editing. I like to find a good lens for pets. I have one regular lens and a 80-200 lens.

Not knowing what "regular lens" you have or what a "80-200" is, it is hard to advise.
However, never letting the lack of the thought process get into the way, the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens is a very good lens. Along with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens and you would have a fine outfit. There is a cheaper version of that lens without IS, also (Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM).
EOS 1Ds Mk III, EOS 1D Mk IV, EF 50mm f1.2 L, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L,
EF 85mm f1.2 L II USM, EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II,

I had a wireless Mighty Mouse operating with Bluetooth. It wore out. I bought a new wireless Magic Mouse. Now suddenly there is no Bluetooth in the menu bar nor in my computer's system profiler. How can I set this new wireless mouse up, pair with my Mac, with NO Bluetooth? Where did it go and how can I get Bluetooth back?

Hello,
Try resetting the SMC.

What kind of camcorder can I get with a non Intel Mac

I am looking to buy my first camcorder and plan to spend about $300.00. After reading the following quote about a Sony camcorder I am a bit concerned, as I do not have an intel mac, I have a iMac G5 Isight -2.1 cpu,2.5GB ram. I have iMovie 08 and Leopard. What kind of camcorder should I get with my set up?
"I also have new unibody 2008 Mac Book pro OS X - laptop detects camera right away and launching iMovie08, offering video transfer. If you have older, non Intel Processor Mac - forget about this camera - and ALL OTHER's AVCHD/H.264 camcorders - most likely they will not be working for you. So, please, do not write negative reviews, do not confuse people, OK? "

Something like this should work: http://tinyurl.com/ycy4rnu
Although list price is only about $200, with the extra battery(s?), Firewire cable, camcorder case, blank media, etc., that you will need if you do not already have them, $300 is not far off.
You can also consider other Firewire connected camcorders that are compatible with your Mac and OS.
Before I buy, I like to download the user guide for the camera I am considering and review it to be sure it does what I want. Regardless of which camcorder you are considering, if you cannot find the information about system compatibility in the camcorder's documentation, the retailer can help you find the information you need.
As shown in iLife System requirements, iMovie 8 can work with your Mac and a compatible camcorder:

Note that AVCHD and 24-bit recording have requirements beyond those stated in your system info.

Gray lines (like etch a sketch lines) have appeared on my iPad 2 screen. Why and what should I do about them?

Gray vertical lines have appeared on my iPad 2 screen. Much like an etch a sketch. What are they and is there anything that can be done about them?

Do they stay in the same place whichever way up you hold the iPad, and do they still show when you've got an app open ?
Have you tried a reset to see if they still show after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try restoring to your backup and/or resettings back to factory defaults. But you may need to contact Apple.

Vertical Lines Started Appearing on my 17" Intel iMac and won't go away.

My iMac has started to show bright vertical lines on the display. I've searched the forum and then the web and it looks like I'm not alone. There are thousands with this same problem on the same model iMac. Unfortunately, it looks like I didn't buy AppleCare for this computer, so I'm outta luck on a fix.
This *****, this computer is only a little over 2 years old and it's asleep most of the time!

The first vertical line (in blue) on my iMac started last week. Today another one this time in yellow. Attached monitors are fine.
There are so many postings on this, you would think Apple would have a support document on this, but the only one referred to is on dead/stuck pixels which is related, but quite different.
I leave my iMac asleep most of the time (never power off). I'm wondering if there is any relationship between this problem and supplied power?

What kind of log I can get with "level informational" - c2950 & 6500

Hello, everybody, It is nice to meet you. I am working in Tokyo in japan as network engineer.
It is my first time to write something on here Cisco Support Community and I don't speak English very well.
So I hope everyone understand my pour question and writing. But I wish somebody anwser to this question.
I am using kiwi sever to manage four of 6500 and about thirty of c2950.
The kiwi server is working normally logging both 6500's syslog and c2950's.
But I have question about difference between 6500's level informational and c2950's.
For example, When I log in 6500 I can get a log from my kiwi server.
And When I enter some command to change config I can also get a log from my kiwi server.
However When it come to c2950 I can't get the logs. I can only get logs that notice 'interface up/down' or 'changed config' stuff like that.
I think I have correct config about logging both 6500 and c2950 as follow.
Trap logging: level informational, OOOOO message lines logged
Logging to XX.XX.XX.XX, OOOOO message lines logged, xml disabled,
filtering disabled
Anybody know what kind of log I can get with "level informational" on c2950.
Thanks everybody.

Information is a fairly low severity which means you'll get everything except debugging messages. This includes link up/down, config change,
CPU hog, etc. If you're not seeing messages other than link up/down and config change, then there may not be anything else happening on the switch which triggers a log message. Check the output of "show log". That should agree with your syslog logs.

Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?

/Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?S I just bought a Zen. Been trying for 2 days to load ANY videos on my player and getting nowhere. There's probably something simply that I just don't know.
I bought a movie and a TV episode from Itunes. Downloaded to PC. Can't get them onto my Zen. Tried Creative converter, got error. No description of the error just that the conversion was "unsuccessful". I tried several other converters from on-line. Still errors.
I tried to copy multiple DVD's from the DVD dri've to my PC (to then I assume convert somehow to the Zen), they all say they are protected so I can't copy them.
So what kind of videos CAN I get on my player? It's pretty useless to have video capabilities if you can't use it at all.
Can anyone help?
Sign me, aggravated.

I can't help you with iTunes, because I studiously avoid that software. But check your personal messages for more help.

What kind of cable can I use?

Hello,
I recently bought an iMac and I was wondering what kind of cable can I use to connect it to my Macbook Air so that I'll be able to transfer my files faster.
Any links to a website that has a picture or actually sells the appropriate cable would be greatly appreciated as I currently live Paris and communicating with store clerks is a mission in and of itself!
Thanks a lot.

get the usb-ethernet adapter for the MBA and then an ethernet cable to attach the two computers. OR: create a computer to computer wireless airport connection so that the computers can access the N wireless network both are capable of but some routers are not. If the MBA is the more recent revision, you may have gotten the usb-ethernet adapter included in the package; otherwise, it can be purchased from the Apple Store. The ethernet cables are standard and can be obtained from any computer store. No need for anything special like crossover cables, macs connect directly with a standard cable.
I tried to transfer files quickly via a simple 802.11g wireless LAN I had set up via a router but it was so slow that I set up the c to c network via the menubar airport menu and was able to quickly copy and transfer files via the 802.11n that the airport hardware provides when something else does not interfere with the speed that the macs are capable of wirelessly.
