Which adapter is right ?

Hello,
I just received my new iMac 2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7.
I still have a 22" monitor with DVI connections that I want to use with it. Before buying the wrong adapter, I thought I better check with the Pro's here.
Which adapter do I need to get the best results ?
Sorry if this has been asked over and over and over again - I'm just too lazy to search myself. Hope you forgive me and answer my question.
This forum rocks, btw !

A dual-link DVI cable is only needed for resolutions higher than 1920x1200, on the external screen. So if your external is 1920x1200 or lower, normal DVI is sufficient.

Which adapter do I need to connect my new Mac Mini to my old Apple Cinema HD monitor?

I have a perfectly good Apple Cinema HD monitor (model M8536), but it has an ADC connection, and my new Mac Mini isn't compatible with it. I've bought a new screen for the Mac Mini, but there are going to be times when I need to run two screens in parallel on the Mini. Can anyone tell me which adapter I need to do this? I've looked at the Apple DVI to ADC connector (M8661LL), but I'm not sure this is what I need, and they're quite pricey, even second-hand on eBay, so I don't want to make a mistake!
Thanks!

Thanks, dwb ... unfortunately I don't think I'd get very much for my old display, it's so old (> 10 years)! But it still works perfectly, and I'm loathe to throw it away ... and there are going to be times when I need the two screens, so even though I've bought a new 27" Philips monitor, it would be good just to buy an adapter to hook up the old screen ...

3 Different Backups; Which one is right?

Hello everyone,
I have a question about backup systems. I looked around the forums and saw a couple that were almost the same question but weren't, so I am going to ask mine. I am not sure if my questions make a difference with the answers though.
I just bought a Lenovo G560. As you know, it came with OneKey which is the button on the key board. It also has Windows Backup (Windows 7). But, I also went out and bought a portable backup hard drive (Hitachi) that came with its own backup software.
So my question is which one do I use??? I will explain what I want to do, then my thoughts on each option, and I am hoping someone here could give me solid advice. I already had a system crash once and lost everything, so I don't want to start over again.
(What I would like to do)
I would like to have two different types of back up completed to my external hard drive:
1. Would be a system image of everything as it is on my laptop. In case of a major failure, I can simply start fresh from the last backup image and (for the most part) not skip a beat. This backup would probably be done once every two weeks or maybe once a month.
2. I would also like to have a traditional backup of everything in my personal folder which would basically be just my files i.e. pictures, music, documents, etc. This way in case I delete 1 or 2 files by accident I can go into my external hard drive and pull those files back over. This backup would probably be done 1 to 2 times a week.
(My Thoughts)
OneKey: I like the idea of the OneKey software because that function is built into the laptop with a dedicated button. But from what I saw so far, this software can't be set up to do both types of backup at the same time. But, I might be wrong on this...
Windows: A part of me thinks I should let Windows conduct its own backup because Windows should know what Windows need to run in case of a major failure, and this would be the easiest for me. From what I have read, Windows can do two different types of backup at one time, but it is vvvvveeeeerrrrryyyy slow, and a lot of times the second scheduled backup will attempt to start before the first one is finished which causes major problems.
Hitachi: The external hard drive came with its own backup software installed that it uses to manage backups. This one requires you to install yet another program onto the laptop (which is on top of the 2 already there OneKey & Windows). It seems simple enough to use, but I am not sure if it can do two different types of backup.
A part of me thinks if I were to use OneKey or Windows I could basically format the external hard drive and then I will have a completely empty drive for backups since I would get rid of the pre installed software.
Or, I could be completely wrong on all three of these, and need to use some other backup software to do what I want.
I need to tell you that I am thinking of playing with a kernel of Linux that would be installed in a separate area on my laptop. I would like for the backup software to be able to include this in its backups (just the image type) since I am not planning on moving any personal information/files over to that OS just yet. Once I find a version of Linux I like, I would probably switch to that for full time use. So I think that would be important in the selection process of backup software.
I know this is a big question, but I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I am not very familiar with backup software. I had another external hard drive once before, but that one only did the My Documents folder, and there was a couple times I had to start fresh with Windows because I didn't have a system image. So I am hoping to not go through that again.
Thanks for all of your thoughts.

gigrosser, welcome to the forum,
If I understand your intentions correctly I think your first priority is to create a set of recovery discs as suggested by yigit, a good reason for this will become clear later.
As you are going to be playing with Linux you will need an imaging software which is capable of creating a base image and incremental images of the complete hard drive including the boot sectors, I personally don't see either One Key or Windows Backup being the optimal tools for achieving this.
As I don't know which software came supplied with your Hitachi drive, I'm can't rule it out as being a suitable tool for the job which I would approach as follows;
Once you have created recovery discs and installed your suitable imaging software you also need to be sure you create rescue media for the imaging software in order to be able to access your image backups should they be required.
Assuming you have your hard drive configured with Linux et al you should then create a base image with the imaging software to your external hard drive. After it's completed add a "test folder" to your desktop and then shut the system down.
Now's the time to test your image and rescue media by simply restoring the image you have just created; if the "test folder" isn't there it's worked, if it's still there something hasn't worked and needs a re-think. Worst case and absolutely nothing works is the time to use the recovery discs you created to set your system back to factory and start reconsidering the whole concept again That's why the recovery discs are important.
Assuming that everything ran successfully it's time to add a few files, 500MB should suffice, in order to run an incremental image backup and of course to recover to that incremental backup. If everything works you have the first part of your problem solved.
Now to the second part; there's a windows tool which seems to have got a bit forgotten over the years, have you considered using windows Briefcase? Just search Windows help to find out all about how it could help you.
However the second part may be superfluous; - "in case I delete 1 or 2 files by accident" - I don't know how much data you're going to be adding / changing / deleting on a daily basis, but running incremental image backups shouldn't normally take very long, you'll find out the answer to this when running your tests. A good imaging software will allow you to extract single files from any backup you have made which in effect negates the requirement for a second solution.
Hope I've explained my thoughts clearly enough, if not let me know.
Edit; to answer "which one is right?" is maybe none, maybe all - the right one is the one that works even if it's the fifth choice
Regards

Which is the right way?/place to post the suggestion to SAP

Hi Freinds,
if someone have to make a suggestion to SAP, for its product extension..or maybe a new feature to add to its existing product offering...which is the right place...shld it be in the form of a blog or a post in a forum...
and if indeed turns out to be a unique feasible feature and gets lots of positive response...why kind of recognition will it get....

lol. there's a world outside the US for those who don't know.
therefore ASUG might not be the right address for someone living elswhere. there are some SAP user groups in other areas of this world, eg in germany it's DSAG; unfortunately you have to be a member of those 'societies' (membership fee) and it's not easy to make yourself heard in the beginning.
SAP could provide better channels for that, e.g. special SDN areas for that purpose.
rgds,

Connecting new TV to Macbook: which adapter do I need?

I have a Macbook White Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz.
I am trying to connect it to my new Sanyo DP19640 TV to stream Netflix. I cannot seem to determine which adapter I need.

For the best picture, you want to use the Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and then a DVI to HDMI cable, like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-Adapter-Cable-Meters/dp/B001TH7T2U/ref=s r11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1281800506&sr=8-1
That will take care of the video for you. You'll also need a separate cable for audio. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I'll get back to you!

Which adapter plug from the Apple Worldwide Adapter Kit should I use for travel with MacAir to Czechoslovakia and Hungary?

Traveling to Czechoslovakia and Hungary and puirchased the Apple Worldwide Adapter Kit. I'm confused about which adapter plug to use with my MacAir. What does the correct plug look like?
Thanks

Here is the link to the adapter kit on the Apple website:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit
This may or may not suit your needs but I suggest that you visit an Apple store and take a look at the kit yourself. With the information from prior link, you should know exactly what to look for.
Ciao.

Which adapter do I use for my DVI and RGB only inputs Monitor?

My Samsung monitor only has RGB and DVI inputs. I can't figure out which adapter from Apple to buy since I'm new in the Mac world and not sure of the limited port options I have.
Thanks.

You don't say which Air you have.
Provided yours is one with a Mini-Displayport or Thunderbolt, this should do the job.

Which adapter? Again?

New here as well...
Which adapter would one use to connect a MacBook 2.1 (circa 2007) to HDTV?
Thanks in advance!

You need a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter like this one from OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/CBLMDVIHDMI/?utmsource=nextag&utm_medium=shoppingengine&utmcampaign=productads
You'll need external speakers to hear sound since the Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter only carries video not audio. Plug the external speakers into the headphone jack on the MacBook.
Some people have had problems with using HDMI off of the MacBook. Check in discussions for more information.

Which adapter to but?

I am thinking of getting a new Mac Mini, but I don't want to buy another monitor. I have an Apple Cinema Display with a DVI-D (male) port for my older Mac Mini Intel, but the new Mac Mini uses Mini-DVI or Mini Display Port. Which adapter do I get? I think its the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter. Am I wrong?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
The current mini's come with a mini-DVI to DVI connector, which should work for you.

Trying to find out which adapter to buy which has 30pin socket on one end and lightening plug on other - any help really valued - thanks
