Air 3.2 Video problem (Mac os 10.6.8)
Hello
I have video application that shows up to 25 streaming videos on the screen. After update to Air 3.2 I see blinking pixels on video. I have simple Video objects.
Hi Andrey,
Is it possible to get access to your application so we can reproduce this internally? Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] In addition, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.
Thanks,
Chris

Power Mac G4 having video problems -green dots and pixelated lines
Yesterday my Power Mac G4 running OS X (10.5.1) started having unusual video problems. I started to notice green dots on the screen where the mouse pointer had been or where application windows had recently been. The severity of the video symptoms seem to vary - from a cluster of green pixels to slight amount of fuzz in text.
I'm thinking that this is a symptom of a problem with the video card starting to fail but I haven't ruled out the Apple Studio Display either. While the Mac was still under Apple Care support, I did have the video card replaced a few years ago due to symptoms that were much more severe than this.
Should I get a new video card? Could it be the display at fault? How expensive would it be to take it in to the local Apple store for diagnosis/repair?

Give your previous partition layout, you cannot install Windows via Bootcamp, unless you are willing to give up all your extra partitions and go back to EFI, OS X and RecoveryHD only configuration.
i have now a question , what happens if i boot with win 8.1 boot able DVD and install a new windows ?
the main questions are :
1. does it recognize any of my partition to select for windows installation ?
2. if no , can i format any partition for new partition during windows installation?
3. if i could install a windows , who is the boot loader ? windows or mac ? can i still boot to windows or what ?
1. Windows installer will not work and you will end up with driver issues.
2. No.
3. You cannot, but if you could, the Apple Bootmanager would be your Boot Manager/Loader. -
I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says - 'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
StageVideo API (or other way to play hd video on mac / linux) ?
Hi
Anyone have any clues if it possible to user the new StageVideo api in an desktop air app? Is it coming in future versions of air (Available in 2.5 sdk but not able to use it on desktop) ?
Having problem playing HD (1280 x 720) video on mac 2.5.1 and linux 2.5.1, bad framerates. StageVideo looks sweet.
Any other tips on how to play high def videos right now?
Best,
SBrian,
Two parts of the question.
First, I don't know if you can use a USB stick to transfer files to the XBOX hard drive. If you can, that's cool news to me.
Second, I have used compressor to create movies that are viewable on an xbox connected to an HD projector. Try the MPEG-4 setting, found in the Apple/Formats/MPEG-4 folder. It should work for you. If not, you can try a bunch of different settings, compress the same vid like 8 or 10 different ways, and try them all on the xbox and see which one plays. That's what I did to see what works. Just compress a 1 minute movie with a bunch of different settings. But I am pretty sure that the MPEG-4 setting works.
Thanks,

Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem
This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?
iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.8)I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great. -
Mac Os 10.6.8 Crash and video freeze, Mac Pro
Hi,
I just installed Mac OS 10.6 on my old Mac Pro, early 2009 (8 gib of Ram installed). I still have my old Mac OS10.5.8 on another internal boothable disk.
It went well the first day or so but now I'm experiencing some major video problems: picture of the desktop keeps freezing, videos are crashing in Firefox 30 with Flash 14 plugin, etc. I have 2 internal identical video cards and 2 separate monitors (NVIDIA-GT120). Here is a picture of what's happening:
I have installed upgrade for FireFox and Flash Player plugin 14.
I've tried to deactivate Flash option for "Accelerated": nothing is changing, the problem is still there.
Everytime a have a window that I move from one monitor to another smear and freeze all over on both monitors.
I have QuickTime 7 and QuickTime for mac OS 10.6. I want to keep my older version because I have Quicktime Pro.
Where should I start, I'm no expert, thank you in advance to explain it to me in a simple manner if you answer to that post.
Please help,
Thank's!Thank you for answering so promptly,
I already made a backup with TimeMachine of my new and original files of Mac OS 10.6 system.
May I point out that I've just installed Mac Os 10.6 as an upgrade of Mac OS, from 10.5. I have now Mac OS 10.5 on one boothing disk and Mac Os 10.6 on another boothing disk. I can wether rebooth on one or the other. I upgraded to my new Os from a clone copy of 10.5 to 10.6 on a different disk: I'm aware that my new Mac OS may be not be as clean as it should be.
I also did all the operations you where mentionning such as disconnecting all non essential peripherals (even my main monitor) then power it up again. I also reboothed in "Safe Mode" and started again in normal mode afterwards. I've even zapped the "P RAM". I even did a "Repair Permissions with "Dislk Utilities". Nothing of that nature have resolved the various issues that I metionned in my previous Post.
"Isolating an issue by using another user account"
Thank you for the link, I shall read it carefully and thoroughly. Yes, I have tried to logged-in as a new user before your Post. I think this solution helped afterwards.
I don't use these options often, I'm the only user and I'm not that familiar with all these options. I've tried to share some folders or files and also tried to setup an automatic password but I was not that very succesfull. As this article is mentionning: the main idea is to "check if the Mac OS is behaving as expected" in a new user account.
The answer to that is a positive "yes" and I did regain a better control of my Mac OS new system afterwards.
I did not understand at first your expression "If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work". Reading a little about it, I think it has to do with an "iCloud feature to set up a network of Mac computers that you cant then access remotely". I don't have an iCloud connection/account installed/set-up. I only expremimented with that option once or twice many years ago with my iPod so, I,m not familiar with that option.
"Deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer"
Since I'm not a newbie on the Mac, I know how "Third Party's Applications/utilities" may really mess up an OS and make it behave in unusual ways sometime... I did find some of them installed in the menu that where messing up my new Mac OS. I deleted/deactivated them completly and reinstalled them one by one, carefully reboothing my Mac between each new installation. Some upgrades where installed for some.
Question about User Account vs. System's Files
Can I delete certain presets and/or preference files only stored in my "User Account" but should I never do this with files stored in the "System Folder" or the "Main Library"? Sorry, I'm an "Older Guy" and I'm used to older versions of Macs... Thank you for suggesting any good updated documentation on that matter.
Which Quicktime to use with mac OS 10.6: 7.6.6 or 7.7?
This is not clear at all on Apple's Web Site. I've downloaded and installed both. Maybe this is my problem. I wish Apple would more clear about it for those like me who want to use Quicktime Pro: 7.6.6 for Mac Os 10.6 and 7.7 for Mac Os 10.5???
As for now...
My system is behaving better and it' also much more stable now, thank you! All the suggested steps have been made to to resolve certain issues.
But not all...
I've still have the problem with QuickTime 7 and Flash 14 plugin when I browse and watch certain videos on the Web after a certain time. It's still very annoying when it's starts: I get an all smeared up display of my desktop afterwards (as shown in the above example in my first post). Restarting my Mac resolve's it for a a while only... It seem's that there's a problem with the Video Ram stored when Quicktime/Flash 14 are used? They freeze the System's process who is trying to erase the old data and prevent's it to replace/refresh it with new data on screen...
Thank you for your time and looking forward to read you,

Both xp and windows 7 have video problems with my VGA connection using TV
both xp and windows 7 have video problems with my VGA connection using TV as my monitor when it gets to starting up windows no matter what version it will not I have let my mac on all night and still says starting windows or the windows 7 logo and nothing else will happen also when I use a 3rd patty software like peraills or other it works like a charm how to fix it?
To map the drive on your computer click on Start - RUN - type "\\192.168.1.1" and click ok... When prompted for Username and Password type "admin" and click ok... Now you will be able to see the folder which you have shared on your router, right click on it and select "Map network drive" and click on finish.
Now it will map the drive on your computer and you should be able to transfer the file from your computer to the USB drive. -
Hi all,
I've got a PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz from May, 2004. It has the original ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. I recently had to replace the logic board (with a working used one). That worked fine for months, but now I'm getting video problems. I'll get flashing vertical stripes of short horizontal bars. Sometimes it seems that if I jiggle the display connector at the computer, the screen settles down for a while, but it is not completely certain that this is cause and effect. I hooked up a TV to the DVI port (using Apple's DVI-Video adaptor) and got the same issues, so it's not the display or the cable. I'm hoping that it's a graphics card problem, and not the "new" logic board. Is there a troubleshooting procedure, short of buying and trying a new graphics card, that would let me narrow down the problem?
Thanks for any help.
-AronWhat you describe sounds like a failing graphics card. My particular troubleshooting process is to swap in another one to see if it works. It's handy to have a few extra parts. Short of that, you might try downloading ATIccelerator and using it to downclock the card. Downclock both the GPU and memory by 5 to 10%. If it helps, that would give a more clear indication.
http://thomas.perrier.name/
Also, if downclocking helps, it might still be possible to salvage the card. As with virtually everything else, Japamac has a nice tutorial on the subject of card maintenance:
First read his overview:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/16196A0F-952B-47ED-A9F9-91F7B0E CA431.html
Then read the teardown instructions for your specific card:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/C874D84E-96DD-4DFF-9566-7C66BE0 65BB5.html
Applying fresh thermal compound is not an optional step. Maybe wait to see what others have to say about this suggestion before purchasing the compound. The fact that it isn't doing it all of the time leads me to believe that it might not be too late, but I don't know how common it is to bring them back once they start showing problems.
Before anything, I might try reseating the card and not just wiggling it from the outside. Take it out, blow out the dust with some compressed air, and verify that the fan moves freely. Clean the contacts on the card with a pencil eraser. Also verify that the fan is actually working when you put it back in.
There might be something else obvious to try that totally eludes me at the moment. Hopefully, you'll get some better feedback than this. Good luck. -
24" iMac Video Problem on Window XP
I brought 2 units of 24” iMac last month and using boot camp to install windows xp. Both iMac are completed the installation of window xp and one of the iMac run normally but video problem found on second iMac. After running in window xp about 5 – 10 mins, the screen images distort suddenly. If computer restart again, the display will become normal for 5-10 mins and distort again. But the second computer runs normally in Mac OS. Please kindly help….
Are the driver installed, or installed properly?

IMac Still Has Video Problems after Upgrade
I did the firmware and software upgrade to my iMac, which was supposed to fix the video problem, however the problem continues. I am using OS 10.4.11. My computer never "froze" however the screen went haywire. I would have to do a soft restart (if I could find the restart dropdown window) or I would have to do a hard restart. Now I can do a screen refresh to do a soft restart.
Is Apple aware the these Intel iMacs are a POS? I use it for 3D design and I can't work more than 10 minutes before my screen starts going wacko. I've used Macs since 1985 and this is the first POS Mac i've owned. I don't want to have to get another computer, I can't afford it.
Any others out there with the same problem? Any solutions?
ThanksI like AppleCare, as you get three years of that unlimited phone support. I know many consider it just another extended warranty, but note it can be legitimately purchased at a discount.
Amazon, retail computer stores, also a number of sellers abound online and on eBay, and a price mentioned by someone else on here two years ago that hasn't changed since then - check out L. A. Computer Company, online - you might be surprised!

Possible video problems in iTunes 8.1 [no grid or cover flow views]
I had posted this problem under iTunes, but mentors there suggested instead I connect it to a video problem
*"...my video drivers or other related problems I've had over the last two months with the iPhoto...*
*Ah, didn't know about that. Try re-posting it as a video problem in one of the other forums. It begins to look less like an iTunes problem."*
So, the problem is that I cannot get any other view in iTunes other than LIST. The grid view is completely non functional and is grayed out. The cover flow only shows as a black screen without any logo (such as the familiar music symbol). I never had this problem in iTunes until I upgraded to 8.1.
It is curious that when I select tunes from my **own playlists*, the grid view appears both in the "view choices" and its respective icon is NOT grayed out. That does not happen when I select genious playlist: then the icon is grayed out and there is a grayed out "View choice" in the pull down menu. The same problem exists in my own playlists whenever I select cover flow, however. It is always black without any images or logos displayed. It's an active choice in the pull down menu, and you can click on its icon...but nothing appears.

HI Bronco,
Go here and make sure your Mac meets the minimum requirements for iTunes 8.1
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ <--- left side of the page</div>
*Macintosh Hardware*
*Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, G4, or G3 processor*
*Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater*
*Playing videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or _1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor_*
*Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor*
*512MB of RAM; 1GB is required to play HD-quality videos*
*Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM*
*A broadband Internet connection is required to use the iTunes Store*
*Macintosh Software*
*Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later*
*QuickTime 7.5.5 or later*
*200MB of available disk space*
As best I can tell, my iMac meets all criteria. However, it is not clear to me that it meets the criteria for playing videos (processor speed). I can't tell what this processor speed is; where do I discover that? Under "About this Mac," it says I have *_512 MB SDRAM_*; is that the answer that denies this functionality?
*"The grid view is completely non functional and is grayed out. The cover flow only shows as a black screen without any logo (such as the familiar music symbol)."* Your video card may not support cover flow.
Carolyn
Perhaps, but this is not obvious to me. As I posted earlier, iTunes demonstrated cover flow capability in its prior version. Did it change once 8.1 and now 8.1.1 came out?

I have just bought macbook air, cant make video calls on skype... why??
i have just bought macbook air, cant make video calls on skype... why??
See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

On Android, in an app that I’ve developed successfully for iOS, I’m seeing this problem:
There are 5 videos built-into the app. On Samsung phones (S3 and S4), running Android 4.4.2, at the first attempt to play a video there’s sound but no picture. After returning to the video menu and attempting again, video and sound play normally. If a video is stopped and another one is started, initially a frame of the previous video is displayed (for a fraction of a second), then play resumes normally with the chosen video.
The sound-but-no-video problem does NOT show up on a Nexus 7 running 4.4.3, although the flash-frame problem does.
I’m publishing with AIR SDK 15 packaging both with and without captive runtime to try to isolate the source of the problem. I’m using <contains video> true </contains video> in the descriptor.
This feels like AIR-for-Android buggishness. Any confirmation out there? Similar problems? Workarounds?
I’ve read somewhere that AIR runtime v.3.3 may solve some video problems on Android, but not sure where to find an archived Android version of AIR that old.Well, as it sometimes happens with me, I have spoken too soon. The answer that I marked as ‘correct’ the other day (Colin, are you there?), seems to be not quite the right answer. At least, it doesn’t solve the video problem that I’m having with some, but not all, Android devices.
After trying Colin’s suggestion – using if (stage.stageVideos.length != 0) to make sure that a stageVideoAvailabilityEvent hasn’t already fired when I try to play my first StageVideo instance – and getting perfect results in 10 consecutive tries on my Samsung S4 and S3 phones, I figured that was IT.
Next day, same devices and same code, it DIDN’T work! I pulled hair, issued profanities, hammered on the table. It didn’t matter—I still got a ‘mis-fire’ on the first play of a video whenever (almost whenever) I opened the app. After the first play everything was good – which is the exact problem that I started with many days ago. When I played Colin’s Sesame Street ‘Let’s Get Ready’ app again – the same first-play-of-video problem shows up there too.
This problem does not show up on Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy 5 Tab. It is a royal p.i.t.a. on Samsung phones, where I need my app to work.
I created a bare-bones app to reproduce the problem, code below. Just a single class to play a single video with no controls. A few parameters (path to the video, and viewport stuff) are passed in from the document Class. I run it 10 times on my S4. It fails 7 times and plays well 3 times. The 'initialize2()' function never fires, proving that the stageVideos array already exists by the the time the 'initialize1()' function is called.
I'm pretty sure that this is not a coding problem (because it works well on some Androids and in iOS), but WHAT is it??

I am having problems getting my kids videos from the flip video ultra into i movie. I can download them onto my macbook pro and watch them in quicktime but they wont import into i movie (on ilife 08). I have downloaded the latest updates and still cant do it. please help. thanks
I have QTPro so I'm a happy camper but for those unaware, the CODEC shipping with the Flip Cam appears to have formats from Microsoft:
_Source (AVI) from Flip Cam - wife holding kid washing hands_
Format: XviD (3ivx), 640 x 480, Millions, Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
*Data Size:* 4.00MB
*Data Rate:* 3673.94 kbits/s

*Data Size:* 1.67MB
*Data Rate:* 1532.30 kbits/s
*Normal Size:* 640 x 480
*Current Size:* 640 x 480 (Actual)
Quality
I see no discernible quality difference between these two clips.
_iLife '08 Tests_
(1) Drag Flip Cam VID00001.AVI file to iPhoto
- SUCCESS! Imports perfectly into library
(2) Publish to .Mac Gallery from iPhoto
- SUCCSS! Publishes flawlessly and builds web page properly.
(3) Review from .Mac Gallery
- FAILURE! Video is pixelated and jittery
- NOTE: the QTMOV file renders perfectly
(4) Export from iPhoto
- FAILURE! Menu options for exportation are disabled
(5) Drag Flip Cam VID00001.AVI file to GarageBand
- SUCCESS! Adds Movie Video track and Movie Sound track
(6) Export Movie to Disk from Garage Band as MOV
- SUCCESS, sort of ... format is not MOV though
- Though still 640 x 480 it's actually larger 4.1MB but with a lower data rate (2555 kbp/s) compared to the source AVI file
(7) Import to iMovie
- FAILURE! Cannot read AVI format from Finder
QuickTime
As a previous Windows users and like many Windows friends, I used to be really turned off by Apple's continual badgering to "go pro" with QT. I finally did it, however, after listening to some pundits on a podcast - I think it was MacBreakWeekly. Here's why.
Export Options
For $30, not only can you convert nearly any source video format into any destination video format:
Movie to 4G
Movie to AppleTV
Movie to AVI
Movie to DV Stream
Movie to FLC
Movie to Hinted Movie
Movie to Image Sequence (yes, make a "movie" of a directory of still images)
Movie to iPHone
Movie to iPHone (celluar)
Movie to iPod
Movie to MPEG-4
Movie to Picture
Movie to QuickTime Media Link
Movie to QuickTime Movie
Movie to Windows Media
Sound to AIFF
Soudn to AU
Sound to Wave
And, most of these export options have pre-built data rates that make it easy to choose from
Default Settings
Most Recent Settings
LAN/Intranet
Broadband - HIGH
Broadband - MED
Broadband - LOW
Dial-up
Dial-up Audio Only
Streaming - Medium
Streaming - Low
(ii) Editing
You can also edit videos better than you can in the Flip Video for Mac s/w. Have a 3 minute clip of your kid eating ice cream with tons of dead space? Why spend time importing that video into iMovie? Just use the scrub control on QTPro and pick on the portion of the video you care about and share that with others. QT is a much better product and software interface than the included software with the Flip Cam. Personally I feel imprisoned by the software on the Flip Video. First thing I did was run the Flip Video for Mac software which installed the 3ivx layer on top of QT. Now I just drag and drop the DCIM directory's AVI files to my Finder and use QTPro from there.
(iii) Export to Web
In addition to the wealth of Export options it provides, QTPro even has an export for web option which, in one fell swoop, creates three files:
1. desktop
2. iphone
3. iphone celluar
(iv) Poster Frame
You know that video icon you see on your desktop? QTPro allows you to set that frame of your video that is your desired icon for quick reference later!
(v) Share Options
With nearly a single click you can share your movie via:
