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.

  • What digital audio cable can I use with my 2009 Mac mini?

    I have a late 2009 Mac mini (not the HDMI model) and I would like to get digital audio out of it. What kind of cable should I use?
    The headphone jack says that it can connect with digital audio products, but I don't know how to tell if 1/8th cables are digital or analog.
    Thanks!

    the mac mini's headphone jack has a combination optical hookup. any kind of headphone cable will not send out the optical signal, you can tell because when you look at a standard headphone cable, it doesnt have anything for light to shine through it!
    to get the digital audio out of the mini im pretty sure you will need aToslink to Mini Digital Optical SPDIF Audio Cable. they sell these on amazon for $5.55
    you connect one side to the mac mini and you connect the other side of the cable to your optical input on your receiver
    im pretty sure this is correct. the mac might send digital down a regular cable (some receivers will do this too) but im pretty sure the digital is sent down optically

  • What kind of camera can I use??????

    I need to measure crack length in fatigue test of an Aluminium sample automatically. For example, the camera can take shots (Images) every 4000 cycles (fatigue load cycles), maybe more cycles.
    For my test, I need to measure both sides crack length (right side and left side of specimen centre line), shown in Fig1.  So I need to take shots both crack tips at the same time, which means camera must have a large field view and the resolution should measure 0.01mm, to see both crack tips clearly. At the end, I must be able to acquire images from Labview. I can save all the images into my fold from Labview, then I can measure crack lengths in left and right side from every image.  Fig1. sample size and crack tip
    Would you please give me any suggestions on the characteristic/specifications of this kind of camera?

  • What kind of videos can I use?

    I had a question, what kind of videos can i upload onto a new nano?
    See, I have a DVD of my family reunion, someone video taped it and put it on DVD. Is it legal to use that DVD?
    And I was wonering...if so, how do i get it onto the ipod? I have never used an ipod with video...so the itunes part is completely new to me.
    Just to tell you though, my XP does not play dvds....any suggestions?

    Whats t&c?
    Anyway in most contries your aloud to make backups of your DVD and rip them to watch on your iPod.
    Programms which do that include Handbrake and VisualHub.
    But if its a DVD you burned yourself, you should be able to convert the files on the DVD with either Quicktime or iSquint without any of the other programms.
    iSquint is great much faster than Quicktime and free.

    What kind of Soundblaster Card?can be used in a PCI64/33 Slot of a Server ?
    can anybody help? me ?
    Thanks and Sorry for my English ;o)

    X-FI PCI 32Bit Cards?with 33MHz will fit into a PCi 64Bit slot. (The Slots must only support PCI 2.2 or later.)?Even a PCI-X slot can dri've PCI 32 33MHz cards. Downside: the PCI bridge will clock down all connectet PCI slots to 33MHz. Most PCI 64Bit slots supports 66MHz clock speed.
    Older PCI cards like Audigy will run in a 2. or lower?compatible PCI Slot.

  • What kind of  inforobject can be used for compounding while creating charac

    Hi all :
         what kind of standard inforobject can be used for compounding while creating characteristic ?
        I found that some could be , but some couldn't ,  like 0RESP_PERS.
    THE ERROR :
    1      Characteristic 0RESP_PERS was included in the compounding for COS09 (-> Long Text)      QLong text exists
    2              0RESP_PERS is just an attribute and is not allowed in the compounding No long text exists
    0RESP_PERS is an object, why  can't be  used for compouning? 
    Could you please tell me why ?
       Thank you very much!

    Hi Jingying Sony,
    One can mark an infoobject as an Attribute Only in the General tab.
    This means that the infoobject will only act as an attribute and cannot be used as a characteristic in infocubes. Neither can it be used as a navigational attribute and I guess it may not be available for compounding then(since in compounding - it implicitly becomes a characteristic).
    For your ref
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
    If you uncheck this checkbox, then may be it will allow you to compound this characteristic..
    You may try with a (self created) ZRESP_PERS reference chararacteristic of 0RESP_PERS, to confirm this.
    One more link for your reference

  • What kind of media can I use?

    I see that my MBP has a 4x Superdrive. I've never had a DVD burner before, so I don't know much about them. What sort of DVD media can I use in this drive?
    Is there any functional difference between DVD+R and DVD-R? When should I choose one over the other?
    When burning video, will the RW media work in the average DVD player? Aside from cost, is there any drawback to using RW media?
    I assume that a higher speed disc (like the 8x and 16x media out there) will just burn at the lower 4x speed. Does the same idea hold true for dual-layer media?
    There are some awfully cheap media packs on pricewatch.com. Has anyone had good/bad luck with inexpensive generic media?

    Evolutionradio is quite correct. The Superdrive will burn a variety of media, but dvd players can be temperamental, so you want media that burns well but also plays on a range of players.
    I've used. TDK, Verbatim and Sony media dvd + and dvd - with success. You can get media rated higher than 4x - e.g. the verbatim media I use is 16x.
    I've found it pays to shop around for media. Circuit city are quite good, sometimes Best Buy will have a deal when Circuit City don't. I tend to find 50 dvds for around $17 if I look hard when the normal price is around $40. Look online as well as sometimes the stores have a deal online which you can order and pick up, look at the cost per disc - lastly Froogle is useful too - type something like dvd 25 pack or 50 pack and see who has the best price. Currently Best Buy have 100 Fuji dvd discs for $30 which is great value, not tried it though so you might want to buy a single as well to test.
    Best of luck

  • What kind of database can I use with jsp pages?

    Well I have been an ASP programer for a while and now I want to be able to host sites on an Apache server so that means i need to just jsp pages or something that is not windows dependant. So I need to start a database, a small one just for client information, and I don't know what to create it in. I was going to use MS acess but I am guessing that won't work with jsp. So what are my options for desktop database applications? Should I download star office and try that I havne't ever used that but I imagine it comes with some kind of database program. Well let me know thanks.

    JSP should work with any database that worked with ASP. The key is to use JDBC which is the equivalent to ADO. As long as you get the appropriate driver for the database, you're all set. As the previous poster mentioned, for MS Access you must use a JDBC-ODBC bridge which is really a JDBC driver that works on top of ODBC. This is the worst performing type of driver, but if you're using MS Access then perhaps performance isn't a priority.
    Check out the Sun tutorial on JDBC if interested.

  • What kind of SIM can I use to activate my Unlocked GSM iPhone 4S?

    I just paid for an unlocked iPhone 4s NOT on a contract and when I got it it asked for a SIM card to activate it, otherwise, it's useless. I knew this prior purchasing the phone but I figured it would be simple just finding a card. I called Apple and they told me to call AT&T, and AT&T told me I could purchase one at walmart.. well the people at walmart looked at me like I was stupid and told me to "contact the iPhone store"... If anyone knows of a card that WILL in fact work, please let me know (: thanks!

    To acitvate iPhone with SIM Card, takes about 3 seconds time of needing the SIM Card. Walk into any ATT store and they should be able to help you with a free Micro SIM Card. If any trouble, ask for the Manager and clearly explain the situation.
    You will need a SIM Card from a Carrier to use the iPhone as a Phone. Who is going to be your Cell Phone Carrier? They will help you the best. To acitvate iPhone with SIM Card takes about 3 seconds time of needing the SIM Card.
