Please help! My new widescreen isn't working!

So I bought a 22inch widescreen monitor for my 933mhz Quicksilver G4. The monitor has a resolution of 1680x1050. I used a DVI convertor and connected it to the ADC port.
The problem is the picture doesn't look all that great, and worse, it looks really stretched out. The maximum resolution my computer is offering me is 1280x1024, and I swear it used to be higher when I had it hooked up to a CRT.
I've tried to change the horizontal wideness on the monitor's controls, but that option isn't allowed (although when plugged into the VGA port it is).
I spoke with the monitor companies tech support and he says that my computer is supposed to be able to support that monitor.
I downloaded that driver that someone else posted on the forums, that didn't help.
What do I do? Do I need a new video card (I currently have a GE Force 4MX)? Do I need some kind of update? A new driver or something?
PowerMac G4 Quicksilver, 933Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.2)

I'm running a 21" Samsung widescreen at the recommended 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz. When I first got it I did some experimenting with some older graphics cards in my MDD G4 booted into OS X Tiger and OS 9.2.2. All cards were flashed to the latest ATI ROM and were using the latest ATI drivers.
It's true that OS X Tiger only displays the recommended resolutions for your graphics card, but with the large, widescreen, LCD monitors, you pretty much don't want to use any of the other possible resolutions. In OS 9.2.2 I was able to display all possible resolutions. Using an original Radeon for Mac, 32 MB card and a flashed PC Radeon 7000, 64 MB card, I couldn't achieve decent video with either. BTW, I used a DVI hook-up for all.
Can't remember which one, but one wouldn't display widescreen resolutions at all (think it was the Radeon for Mac card, which is very old) and the other couldn't display up to 1680 x 1050, so I used a lesser widescreen resolution. The lesser widescreen resolution was adequate for just looking at your monitor, but couldn't play DVD movies without lowering the resolution even more. The best picture with either of them was not as sharp as the display model of my monitor in the store.
Part of the problem is that neither of those old video cards provided Quartz Extreme support in OS X Tiger, much less Core Image support. That makes a big difference, at least with the large, widescreen monitors.
What I'm telling you is that your video card is center of the issue. After you ensure that you have its ROM updated and you are using the latest drivers, if you still don't see 1680 x 1050 or any other widescreen resolutions as an option (based on the limited resolution info on NVIDIA's site, I think you already have the best resolution you can get and there aren't any supported widescreen resolutions), and/or System Profiler doesn't show Quartz Extreme supported, you should be looking for a new video card. I know that the Radeon 9000 will give you Quartz Extreme support (I put one in a friend's Sawtooth G4 w/ a 1.2 GHz processor upgrade and got QE supported, but not CI) and some widescreen resolutions, including 1680 x 1050.
Good luck,
Carl B.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

I found an answer that worked for me. I am using an iMac.
(1) Sign out of the iTunes store
(2) Open a NEW account with a new Apple ID
(3) Go through the sign up process and then go to the ACCOUNT INFORMATION page
(4) Go to RECOMENDATIONS & PING POSTING
(5) Turn on Genius there
Once the Genius updates, you can sign out and then sign in under your original Apple ID or the e-mail address you use for the iTunes store. All my store credit was there and now Genius worked.
Rather odd but I actually like the Genius at times except when it can't deal with some of my lesser known bands that I listen to.
Worked for me.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Please help Apple??? It worked fine with Snow Leopard??

I recently upgraded to Lion and now cant see my Windows 7 laptop in network? Or see my macbook Air 2010 on my win7 laptop. Please help Apple??? It worked fine with Snow Leopard??

You're not addressing Apple here, you are addressing a user based community. An Apple employee may read your post but he/she will not officially respond to it.
You didn't say if your networking is Wi-Fi or USB Dongle based so I'm assuming Wi-Fi in this response. If you do a search of the forums you will find that quite a few are having Wi-Fi issues with Lion--things that worked fine with Snow Leopard are flakey or don't work at all with Lion so your problem may be another instance of the Wi-Fi issues in Lion. If not, then perhaps someone with knowledge of your specific issue will post. I see my other Macs (MBP, 24" iMac, 27" iMac all running Lion) fine but I don't have a PC to test.

This is a long story, I suspect my Zen is dead but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong!
Recently my Zen was not playing particular songs - a message saying "playback error" would come on the screen.
I tried to replace the musiclibrary on the player by clearing all music files and adding the new ones. However, having cleared the music files I noticed that while the player now had no tracks on it, the information menu on the player still said the amount of memory used BEFORE i cleared the tracks was still being used. I switched off the player, with the intention of loadingthe musicon the next day. Now here's the problem that faces me.
The Creative logo comes on, then the "rebuilding" status bar, which fills about /8 of the bar and then goes blank. The device is unresponsi've, but is still powered as the light by the switch is on. It doesn't switch off until it powers out, and the Creative media explorer doesnt recognise it when i plug it into the laptop.
I have tried the reset button, but the player simply goes through the same sequence.
PLEASE help - apart from the personal use I get from the player, I use it for work - the dictaphone is essential as I'm a journalist.
Also, I bought this Zen when on holiday in New York, and being from Ireland, returning it to the store isn't an option and I'm fairly sure it's no longer in warrenty (bought in November 06) .

Sounds like hardri've is going bad. The Creative website does have refurbs in the Saving Center section or you may be able to replace the hard dri've one that size would be pricey. Check to see if there are any solutions here http://epizenter.net/e07_plugins/forum/forum.php or post the problem see what info you can get.

HELP!!!!...please help me...ipod not working

my uncle bought me an ipod as a gift for me couple of months ago..and for about 5 months, i was able to upadte songs into my ipod using the MAC OSX...but now, i got a new labtop and has windows XP, i installed the CD and downloaded itunes 7.01..
then when i connect my ipod with the USB, it reads the following:
DO NOT DISCONNECT
and my computer cannot read the ipod...i always have to reset it to listen to my songs, but i cannot update new songs..
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

OK first see this article...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61672
One thing to note is that you can format the iPod as FAT32 (Windows format) and it "may" work on your Mac. So one thing you might try is plug it into the Windows machine and follow the directions here...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
Now that it is reformatted for Windows, go into the preferences and click on the iPod and click the box to "Enable Disk Mode". Now, take it and plug it into the Mac.
It hopefully will show up on your Mac's desktop as a disk drive. You can grab your iTunes folder and drag it into the iPod to copy everything over onto the iPod's hard drive. Eject, move it back to the Laptop, open the iPod as a disk drive, and copy the iTunes folder onto your Laptop. You should now be able to add all your stuff to the iTunes library on that computer.
Then delete that folder out of the iPod to free up room and then sync the iPod to iTunes on the laptop.

PLEASE HELP (Very New to web content)

Hi guys. I made a website for a client in ImageReady. They
wanted to be able to update with business news on thier own, and
have me do the major site updates. I was thinking they could do
this by me creating a blog on blogger for them and trying to figure
out a way insert the blog into the website I created. I want to put
into a specific spot on the website and the client wanted it to
scroll so that customers can see previous posts. I know alot of you
think that scrolling boxes kind of suck but for this purpose I
really think it would work really cool. Can you please help me. I
have very little knowledge of code. I am actually a video motion
graphics guy, and because of my knowledge of photoshop started to
move into web. So if you have to talk to me like an infant about
the code, please do. : ) Here is the wbsite I want to add it to:
http://www.xtremefitnessco.com.

You can see on the main page the section I am using for the
news. Thats were I want to put the scroll box. I guess I am asking
how to do two things here:
1. Insert a scroll box.
2. And have that box pull from a web log that the client
updates.
Thanks for any help you can give me guys. Sorry for the
novice question.
P.S. Let me know if you think my design needs work or if you
like it. : )

>> if you think my design needs work
All you have is a series of interchangeable images. You
really haven't built
a website. You have built an online PowerPoint show. There is
no text. Turn
off graphics in your browser and look at your site. Is that
what you want
some visitors to see?
The mistake is building a site in Image Ready. Build your
images there but
add your text in DreamWeaver.
Sorry, but were I you I would get a good book or two and
start over. Might
as well do it right than have a competent designer tell your
client you did
it wrong.

Sky Hub keeps disconnecting... please help? New customer...

Hello there, I am a new customer to Sky only joining last month, and my broadband hub keeps disconnecting. I use wifi which is normally good, but the last week or so, every day our hub shows an Orange face, which I know sometimes means it's updating, so I leave it for one hour or more, and it still does not show white and we cannot connect to wifi. We have to restart the modem everytime for it to work, and have to keep doing this every day now... please help? As i dont think we should have to keep restarting our hub everyday for it to work. Many thanks,Hayley

That might well be one of the most ridiculous posts I've seen on here.
If you want help then provide us with more information including your router statistics,the exact issue/issues your having along with what Sky have so far done to try to rectify them.
