Apple TV problem with video artifacts and pixel color changes

I noticed that in the most recent software update on my Apple TV there is quite a bit of pixel noise on the screen. In dark colors of the picture they really show up, bright green and white dots appear...random pixels that I thought at first my plasma was going, but I paused a movie the other night on my Apple TV and the Pixels also Paused, so I know it's the Apple TV and it does not occur on any other programming inputs. It was fine till the last Software update so I am thinking something is wrong with that update.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Video should work regardless of the wifi card you are using. Whay exactly is happening when you say video won't work.
You can use network utility (in your Utilities folder) to learn more about the network capabilities of your mac.

Y 70-70 screen : problems with the black and white colors

Hi all, I just bought a Lenovo Y70-70 and already encountered several problems with the screen :- I had to change the notebook twice because of clearer zones on the black and because of dead pixels- The model I have now still presents irregularities in the black : if the screen is black, I can still see a few clearer zones on it, especially (but not exclusively) on the edges- concerning the white, I am a bit disappointed too : this color present zones that are sometimes ok, sometimes more yellow. Even if it is subtle, I nevertheless particularily see this effect when reading or typing, due to an optical effect that amplifies the phenomenom when text is displayed which tires my eyes. I also see it on colors like beige or grey. As I use this computer to play but also to work, it is uncomfortable. What I would like to know is if these problems are inherent to the screen, or if it is a defect. What should I do ? Did other people encounter the same problems ? I didn't find any setting to improve it. I found that these problems may be link to these, reported on the Y50-70 :- https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P-Y-and-Z-series/Y50-Yellow-Dark-Yellow-Screen-Calibration/td-p/1868613- http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RCQNONXIKJJ5D/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00MCJQ6MI#RCQNONXIKJJ5D Othewise this notebook is OK, playing with it is a real pleasure.

Installation of Mavericks is the culprit here. Lightroom versions 4.4 and earlier are not fully compatible with OS 10.9.x. There will be no more updates to Lightroom version 4.x so the only fix is to upgrade Lightroom to 5.0 or later or reinstall an older OS on Mac.

There can be several things that could effect your issue. If you are using a color calibration device, it may change your white balance. Check and verify that you really are using pure white when filling, a value of 255, 255, 255 thats red, green, and blue. Check and see what color mode you are in, are you in 8 bit, 16 or 32 bit. Are you in RGB, CMYK, or other color mode.
I am sure there are a few other things, that I haven't thought of at the moment that can effect your issue.
The next question is what do you mean by black and white? or should I say how did you make it that way. Was it already a black and white (grayscale)? or did you convert it in photoshop and if so how. The reason I ask is there are more than one way to convert a color image to black and white and how you do it will effect the final outcome.

Problems with overage charges and making account changes on line

I have quite a bit of history involving my attempts to resolve the problem of catching my account before it goes over the minutes allowed and making the changes on line (to cut down on call volume) to change my account to raise the minutes allowed for that billing cycle. I was given one reason why it didn't work the first time (I didn't print out my confimation proving I made the changes - bit the bullet and paid those charges) and so the second time wanting to avoid the problem from the first time I made sure I printed out my confirmation. The confirmation had an effective date of change of 07/19/2012 the day I was informed I was nearing my allowed minutes. There were only 4 or 5 maximum days left in that billing cycle so I wanted to nip the problem in the bud and make the changes to my account to be made "that" day. My confirmation said the changes were effective 07/19/2012. In plently of time before that billing cycle ended. Again I was told I did something wrong. This time I'm holding my confirmation in my hand even as the person is telling me again I did it wrong. The purpose Verizon wants it's customers to use the available on-line option is to cut down on their call volume. I didn't go to school to get the knowledge apparantly needed to perform these particular tasks in a manner that is acceptable to Verizon. Has anyone else had problems with trying to fix their problems themselves using Verizons "helpfull" on-line choice?

I have an explanation for you by what was meant by "you did it wrong."
When you make a change effective the date you are requesting it and not at the start or end of your billing cycle, your minute usage for that month is pro-rated.
For example, you say you made a change, because you were nearing your allowance limit, on 7/19/2012 and wanted it effective that day with 5 days left in the billing cycle. Lets assume that your allowance is 700 minutes/month and you were at 675 minutes for that month(still under your monthly allowance). If you make a change effective with 5 days left in your billing cycle to the 1400 minute/month allowance, your allowance for the 1st 25 days of your cycle will have been pro-rated to (25/30) * 700 = 583 minutes. This would mean you would have already had an overage of 92 minutes for the 1st 25 days of the month. Additionally, you would have a pro-rated allowance to use the last 5 days of (5/30) * 1400 = 233 minutes. This is how the pro-rating works when you make a change effective during the middle of your billing cycle.
What you need to do next time to avoid these overage charges is to make the change effective at the beginning of your current billing cycle. So if you had made the change on 7/19/2012, but your billing cycle ended on 7/24/2012(5 days later), you should have made the change effective at the beginning of your current billing cycle, or 6/24/2012. This is called backdating the change. In this instance, you would have received a credit on you account for the cost of the 700 minute plan and been charged the full amount for the 1400 minute plan on your next bill, which I believe is a net additional charge of $10 and you would have had the use of 1400 minutes for throughout the entire month. In this example, you would not have had any overage with your 675 minutes during the 1st 25 days of your cycle and would have been able to use 725 minutes over the last 5 days of your billing cycle. This is much better than the overage charge you would receive with 92 overage minutes @ $0.45/minute = $41.40.
I hope this explains it.

[T410] discrete gfx - Problem with Video Card and Windows Aero -anyone using 4Gb memory modules?

[3/3/2010 Update]
There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v8.16.11.8825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
[Original Message]
Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

This must be buggy drivers, on Lenovo download site is just the one and the only initial driver for T410 graphics card.

Two problems with video: Import and gamma

I downloaded and tried LR4 today and found the new adjustment features quite impressive. I was also very eager to try the new video facilities. Woudl have loved to...
Running on iMAC with Lion, pictures and video from a Pentax K5. Video is full HD @25fps. Never had any problems in LR3.6 with importing or cataloging my videos.
When I tried to import already downloaded photos and videos two things happend:
First, some of the videos are not in their "correct" position in grid view, while others are correct. In finder date and filename are correct.
Second and more complicated, videos are completely off in colors and play with interruptions. I attached of few screen shots of what it looks like in LR3.6 and LR4.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joachim
p.s. just tried direct import from camera, with the same effect, at least regarding colors and slow video replay.

Thanks,
did not get a PM yet. After trying with several other sources I finally found the "mistake" after installing and trying LR4 on my MBP. The reason for the color shift is that I switched on the development preset Auto tone, which for video gives this crazy results. Other presets work just fine, even giving a warning that some of the adjustments might not apply in video. Auto Tone and the video is off.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Joachim

Problem with video cards and posterization effect

Hello everyone,
I have problem with posterization effect in Lightroom 4.4 and 5.
When monitor uses integrated video card (Radeon HD 4300) everything is ok. But when I plug in other video card (tested on GeForce GT630 and Radeon HD 7770) I have posterization effect in shadows in every Lightroom module. When picture is exported to jpg then everything is ok. Here is screenshot with NEF in Lightroom and jpg in IrfanView: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yftnnk6w1guii70/Lightroom_problem.png . Of course with colour images I have the same problem. Anyone have an idea what can I do? I have installed the newest drivers for video cards but it didn't help.

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
(Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.

Problem with Video Capture, and question towards solution

Yesterday I worked on a commercial for which we captured 9 clips (roughly 10 seconds or shorter in length). The clips all had text/titles superimposed on them by an outside machine and looked good in the monitors when they were exported and captured into FCP (ie: none of the text was chopped off).
I edited the commercial and then was exporting it out, only to discover that the text on the bottom of the clips was getting chopped off.
My first question is this: is there some setting in the capture process that could have done this? something that might have gotten tweaked accidently, or corrupted in some manner? Didn't have this problem with footage captured the previous day. And since it looked good before it was put into FCP, thinking it had to be a problem with FCP.
Also, in trying to tweak the footage in FCP, I came across a 'there must be an easier way to do it' question. Is there a way to alter parameters on multiple clips (such as raising them, like I had to)? I tried selecting all and double clicking, hoping that the changes I made would affect them all, but it only affected the one I directly clicked. I'm sure there's something simple (and obvious) that I'm overlooking...
thanks!

Problem with video senders and On Demand

I'm a new member although I have had BT Vision for 6 months now. So far I have been very pleased with it but I have a problem at the moment which I am hoping someone will help me resolve.
I recently bought a Nikkai 5.8 GHz sender kit which works perfectly with Freeview channels. I have a great picture and sound but when I switch to watching On Demand I can have a great picture for a couple of minutes and then I get a blue screen and a bit of stuttering of the picture then the picture goes ok again. No amount of repositioning the receiver cures this and I'm baffled as to why I have stability with the Freeview but not the ON Demand.
I know that I should be able to get the sender kit working fine with the On Demand as I previously used a Ferguson 2.4 GHz and had no problems at all except for the interference when using the laptop. The On Demand would work fine right through the evening.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, is there a way round it? Any suggestions/advice welcome.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Macrovision copy protection signal is present on both of the SCART outputs, and is activated whenever copy protected content is viewed.
This copy protection will interfere with the extraction on the synchronisation signals that your video sender needs, and cause loss of sync.
The Ferguson video sender may simply have ignored the copy protection if it was a few years old.
Most modern video equipment is designed not to work if copy protected content is present. Pressure on the manufacturers by copyright holders see to this.

Problem with video capture and transmission

Hello..
I have written an application to capture video using a webcam and transmit it using RTP URL..It did work..
When the user wishes to stop capturing i would stop the processor and deallocate it.. If the user wishes to start capturing again i would just start the capturing process once again(using the same procedure i followed the first time)..
When i do this i get an exception stating:
The capture device is already in use..
Cannot create the RTP Session: Can't open local data port: 5000
(Note: I used the same port for transmission for the first time)
Is there anything that is needed to be done to release a device and port at the end of the program..
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks.. The problem was solved when i closed the processor and its data sources..
One more doubt.. Isnt it possible to transmit and receive Images through RTP..
When i try to create a Processor for and image located in my system "E:\image.jpg" i get an exception like :
Cant create Processor for "E:\image.jpg"..
Thanks for the reply!!!

Apple TV Problem with Video green static noise locked screen

My AppleTV is stuck with solution in sight. Hadn't used it in a while, turned it on noticed speckled noise throughout the screen was getting stuck due to the new version of itunes. i reset it to where it never left the Apple logo screen.
Noise throughout again still. could still here sounds like i was moving buttons so its really as though the screen just continues to be locked. now the screen is just black with no green noise. no apple logo. no movement of anykind.

What does the light do, constant amber flashing?
Any response to remote from the light?
Try unplugging all cables for a few mins then try again, if no improvement it's almost certainly had it.
If in warranty try an Apple Store if you have one nearby.

I am trying to set up my outlook 2007 account on i pad and the process sticks on verifying. It would appear to be a problem with outgoing server and I have changed the port number but with no success.

I have just purchased an i pad 2 and am having trouble with the e-mail set up. Set up with wi-fi, i-cloud etc has worked fine but the i pad is recognising my outlook 2007 account details but is not verifying it. The trouble appears to be with the outgoing server and I have tried changing the port number, but to no avail! Also reset the account settings for holding messages on the server...help! As you can tell I'm not very techy and I'm desperate to get the bloody thing working as I'm going away on Tuesday! Any suggestions?

I had a similar issue and it was password case sensitive issue

I tried to change the name of my device and now I cant sync anything and it says there is a problem with the disk and when I changed the name back it still said the same thing so I restored my ipod (not from itunes but on the ipod itsself)

And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.
