Why is there green pixels via DVI but not VGA

MacBook Pro
15-inch, Mid 2009
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB 1076 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256 MB
OSX Lion 10.7.5
Exernal Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 (new)
When I use my Mini Displayport to VGA adapter with a VGA to DVI cable my external monitor displays a normal picture, no problems. When I use my Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with a DVI to DVI cable the external monitor displays a high res picture but is covered with green flickering pixels and sometimes white horizontal flickering. I have tried every resolution in the apple prefs, tried changing external monitor settings and I have also tried various adjustments with SwitchResX. I'm still getting the green pixels, etc and im out of ideas.... has anyone had/solved this problem?

signal static in either the cable, cable connectors, or in signal thru the DVI adapt./ cable.
"Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with a DVI to DVI cable"
excessive connector static points.
Elminating variables as per your above, your "DVI adapter with a DVI to DVI cable" is the source of the static. 
Use another and eliminate the variable or dont use same.

    There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
    Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
    Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
    Better memory management.

    You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a).  (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.)  Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
    Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost.  They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them.  You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

    A website will open via wifi but not via 3G. Is this a setting on the iPad?

    Probably not.  How's your 3G connection?  I ask because I've had issues when the 3G connection isn't strong.  Same with WiFi too, actually.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet

    I have a iMac, Mac OS X v10.7.5, and recently had a problem connecting to internet.  I can connect via wifi, but when I try connecting via ethernet it's not working.  When I go to the preferences > network, it shows "green" / connected for ethernet but when I open up Safari or Firefox, it doesn't show a connection to the internet.

  • My mac mini will connect via airport but not via ethernet.

    I have had a mac mini for several months which I connect via ethernet because it is in a part of my house where the wireless signal is poor. I changed ISP and now I can connect to the router wirelessly but not via ethernet. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the network as the connection works when I connect it to my mac book. Firewall is turned off. There were no major changes to the router settings other than changing the ISP login codes.
    Any ideas? Is this a configuration issue or a hardware problem?

    Hi Mick,
    If your router only supports 10/100 ethernet then it is possible that the auto-detect feature is not working properly to adjust to that speed. The mini has a Gigabit ethernet port. The OS by default sets the port to automatically negotiate the rate but it does not always work and the result is the problem you are having.
    To fix it you wlll have to manually set the rate to 100.
    To do this, open your system preferences, Select Network. Highlight the ethernet port on the sidebar, click the advanced button. Click on the Ethernet Tab, set the configure pop-up menu item to 100baseTX and click the ok button. If all works out you should see that the Ethernet port icon should turn green.
    Hope this helps.

  • User Authentication Failed via http BUT not with Visual Administrator !!?

    Hi All,
    Since a couple of days, I have a problem concerning authentication to the java apllication on a SAP Netweaver 2004s.
    Using the user ‘Administrator’, I CAN logon the Visual Administrator tool, with the same user I tried to logon via http://host:port/nwa without success.
    At the beginning, I was thinking about a problem of password then I enabled the emergency user SAP*, the problem was the same. Ok with Visual Administrator but not via http.

    Thanks in advance
    Yves

    Hi,
    I found the solution this last week-end.
    This behavior let's thinking to a problem of authentication.
    But the problem was in SQL, an index was missing in table J2EE_CONFIG, called J2EE_CONFIG_I3
    Cheers

  • Officejet pro 8500A connected via wireless, but not accessible....

    I can t access my officejet pro printer via wifi, after a firmware upgrade last week. I can print however from my iPad, but not from my laptop. Both are connected to the same wireless signal. I can see in my printer and router that both are connected. When I connect the printer via a cable to the router, it works.
    As said, I lost this after firmware update.
    I tried:
    Update the software on my laptop : no Improvement
    Switch on/off the router, printer, laptop : no improvement....
    Can anybody help? Would a downgrade offirmware help? Anybody familiar with this problem?
    Laptop : W7-64

    The workgroup shouldn't matter. It's strange that the printer will communicate with the laptop as long as one of them is connected via Ethernet to the router. It shouldn't be doing that at all. It has to be something in the router. I know you mentioned using a different router and it worked just fine. Problem is I'm not sure why this router isn't working right. I'm sure the printer is out of warranty, which is why I'm sure you came to the forums first, but you may need to contact HP tech support. They should be able to remote in and find the setting that's blocking communication. II'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

  • Why is visual voicemail free for iPhone but not for other phones?

    I recently activated an iPhone on my line -- temporarily -- and found that visual voicemail was included and didn't cost a dime. Can anyone explain why visual voicemail is free for iPhones but if you want it for any other phone it bears a monthly charge?

    Also VVM is also free for everyone. The $2.99 is for the premium version. You can search the FAQ and there's a pricing list and shows what you get.
