HDMI switch doesn't work with X1 box but fine with DVD player

I bought a HDMI switch and with both cable box and dvd plugged in, the Dvd player works fine but the X1 DVR box doesn't work at all, only a bright orange screen comes up, not even a messge that says no signal. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?X1 is highly dependant on the HDMI signal ....   what is the make/model of the HDMI switch you are using?

  • What kind of HDMI switch is recommended?  We have a Smsung TV and DVD player along with the Apple TV.

    What kind of HDMI switch is recommended?  We have a Saimsung TV and DVD player along with the Apple TV..  The switch we bought works for a few days and then starts cutting out.  Thanks.

    Does the TV not have multiple HDMI inputs?
    There are no "recommended" switches.
    Buy a quality device that gets good reviews.

  • I can scroll down web pages with my Lenovo ThinkPad X200. I could, but then I got some updates and it doesn't work. I can scroll fine with an external mouse. I just can't use the "scroll controls" on my laptop. Any ideas why? It's frustrating!

    When I got my machine two years ago and loaded Firefox, I could scroll with the red button that's on the keyboard of the Lenovo ThinkPad x200. Then, a few months ago, Firefox was updated. Not sure which version. And, now I can't scroll. The keypad scroll works in MS Windows programs. It just doesn't work in Firefox. I can't get anywhere with the options so I'm stuck for now. (The scrolling works in Internet Explorer). So, I think it's something that going on with FireFox not with my computer.

    Hi there,

    In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
    Thanks,

  • When I burn a DVD it doesn't work when I play it on a DVD player

    This has been driving me insane, i have used + and - dvds. I have used them in all DVD players and they do not work, is there anything I can do to repair this? Thank you for the time and patience.

    the format that I have been using to burn the DVD's is .MOV
    No, you're not.
    The filename extension .mov designates a QuickTime file, not a DVD format. You are probably using .mov as a source for your DVD.
    First, you need a DVD authoring app, which will convert .mov to the type of files required by the DVD-Video specification.
    Second, you need a burning app which will burn the disc not only in the required format (UDF bridge) but also in the required layout (files need to be burned in a certain order).
    (The two requirements -- authoring and burning -- may be combined in a single app.)
    If you don't have it, you can still obtain

    Use mkisofs to create the disc image, and burn it with hdiutil or drutil. (Some of the free options mentioned above actually use mkisofs.)

  • Airplay intermittent with Apple TV, but fine with Airport express

    I have a strange issue with airplay that I can't figure out.
    At home: (Apple TV, Airport Time Capsule, and everything is within 10 feet of each other). Usually just using airplay from iTunes, but the same problem exists when I navigate to the library via apple TV.
    •My MBP will stop playback randomly (A few seconds to a half hour). I assume that this is a buffer / streaming issue. However my iphone streams music without interuption for hours! So it would appear as though the problem is specific to the MBP
    HOWEVER...
    At work: (airport express and computer is within 5 feet)
    •My MBP streams perfectly for hours (no issues)
    I just can't figure out why my MBP is having problems at home. I've ran updates for everything I own (MBP, apple TV, Time capsule), but I still get inconsistent streaming! Frustrating.
    Any insights, guesses, or other airing of grievances would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks,
    Brett

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Why is the Tick Count function slow when used with a .dll but fine with normal lab view code?

    when using the Tick Count millisecond timer with a .dll I've written in C, I'm getting some odd timing issues.
    When I code the function I want (I'll explain it below in case it helps) in LV and run it as a subVI, feeding it the Tick count as an argument, the function runs quickly, but not quite as quickly as I would like. When I feed this same subVI just an integer constant rather than the Tick Count, it takes about the same amount of time, maybe a tiny bit more on average.
    When I bring in my function from a .dll, however, I start to run into problems. When I feed my function an integer constant, it is much faster than my subVI written in LV. When I feel my .dll the Tick Count, however, it slows down tremendously. I'm including a table with the times below:
                 |  Clock   |   Constant   |
    SubVi:   | 450ms  |  465ms       |
    .dll         | 4900ms|  75ms         |
    This is running the function 100,000 times. The function basically shifts the contents of a 2-dimensional array one place. For this function, it probably won't be a huge deal for me, but I plan on moving some of my other code out of LV and into C to speed it up, so I'd really like to figure this out.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Hi Aaron,
    Thanks for posting the code -- that made things a lot clearer for me. I believe I know what's going on here, and the good news is that it's easy to correct! (You shouldn't apologize for this though, as even an experienced LabVIEW programmer could run into a similar situation.) Let me explain...
    When you set your Call Library Function Node to run in the UI Thread you're telling LabVIEW that your DLL is not Thread-safe -- this means that under no circumstances should the DLL be called from more than one place at a time. Since LabVIEW itself is inherently multithreaded the way to work with a "thread-unsafe" DLL is to run it in a dedicated thread -- in this case, the UI thread. This safety comes at a price, however, as your program will have to constantly thread-swap to call the DLL and then execute block diagram code. This thread-swapping can come with a performance hit, which is what you're seeing in your application.
    The reason your "MSTick fine behavior.vi" works is that it isn't swapping threads with each iteration of the for loop -- same with the "MSTick bad behavior.vi" without the Tick Count function. When you introduce the Tick Count Function in the for loop, LabVIEW now has to swap threads every single iteration -- this is where your performance issues originate. In fact, you could reproduce the same behavior with any function (not just TIck Count) or any DLL. You could even make your "MSTick fine behavior.vi" misbehave by placing a control property node in the for loop. (Property nodes are also executed in the UI thread).
    So what's the solution? If your DLL is thread-safe, configure the call library function node to be "reentrant." You should see a pretty drastic reduction in the amount of time it takes your code to execute. In general, you can tell if your DLL is thread-safe when:
    The code is thread safe when it does not store any global data, such as global variables, files on disk, and so on.
    The code is thread safe when it does not access any hardware. In other words, the code does not contain register-level programming.
    The code is thread safe when it does not make any calls to any functions, shared libraries, or drivers that are not thread safe.
    The code is thread safe when it uses semaphores or mutexes to protect access to global resources.
    The code is thread safe when it is called by only one non-reentrant VI.
    There are also a few documents on the website that you may want to take a look at, if you want some more details on this:
    Configuring the Call Library Function Node
    An Overview of Accessing DLLs or Shared Libraries from LabVIEW
    VI Execution Speed
    I hope this helps clear-up some confusion -- best of luck with your application!

  • Hold switch doesn't work

    got my new iPod, applied my invisible shield, and the come to find out that the hold switch doesn't work
    so i drained the battery completely, recharged it, and it started working. but now, out of no where, it stopped working again. just found it on hold and playing in my jacket pocket.
    so this time, i tried doing a software restore and drained the battery once (though i didn't let it sit as long as i did last time before charging again) and its still no go. i'm draining it again, and its nearly dead, but still trys to turn on if you press the menu button even if the hold switch is turned on.
    anyone had a similar issue? any ideas?

    I guess you may need to get it replaced with new one.
    Just visit Apple store, if you live by.
    Or you can call Apple.
    I saw other people's threads complaining hold switch malfunction.
    I believe Apple is currently offering no-question repalcement event on any hardware related 5G iPod/video.

  • Right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons. On other elements, there's no"Inspect Element" option

    After installing FF 6.0, right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons, i.e. nothing happens on right-clicking.
    The context-menu is available on other elements, but there's no"Inspect Element" option in the context-menu

    Regarding the two-button click: just go to the "Sytem Preferences --> Mouse" pop-op and under "One Finger", check the "Secondary Click" box.  Problem solved.  I don't know how I missed this the first 3 times I went to there.    Oh well.
    And as for why I had to change the Trackpad settings to get the Magic Mouse zoom feature to work (see original question): I'm still stumped.   Your guess is as good as mine.
    Hope this helps!

  • Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

    YEAY!
    I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
    OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
    You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
    You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
    BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
    On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
    Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
    The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
    Worked like a charm.

  • Account doesn't work on Mac Mail but does on iPhone

    I have a IMAP email account with my company that works on my iPhone and in Entourage but doesn't work in Mac Mail. I have tried to copy the settings and even did a full erase and reinstall of Leopard and no one has an idea why it won't work, the hosting company or Pro Care. Any idea out there?

  • My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard doesn't work to log in, but lets me type if I'm logged in as a guest. What do I do?

    OK, some more info.
    I have re-installed os/x and applied all of the updates.
    I have tried to migrate my existing accounts and the problem consistently manifests as below:
    1. In a new user account, I can log in and use the keyboard then logout
    2. If I log in to the migrated user account, the non-numeric keys on the keyboard do not work. If I then log out, and try to log in to another account on the same machine, the non-numeric keys continue not to work.
    This would seem to suggest that as the profiles being migrated are on a machine with the same version of up to date OS/X, the issue lies with either the Macbook Pro (other people have also had keyboard problems) or with the migration assistant not working properly given that the current profiles work fine on another mac.
    Any more ideas anyone?

    2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

    You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
    This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.
