Arranging Remote Video Screens

I am responsible for the display of video monitors in the lobby (which are connected to my Mac). In order to see what's on the screens in the lobby, I have to actually go to the lobby and view them. I have been using Spaces, which when activated shows most of the activity from the lobby screens on a preview on my main system monitor in my office. However, some things like dashboard widgets that are brought to the foreground do not show on the Spaces preview. In fact they disappear completely when Spaces is activated. I can drag a widget off the side of my screen onto the lobby screen (which I can't see), and drop it, but it's very difficult to find it to reposition since I can't see it and it doesn't appear in Spaces. Is there any easier way to accomplish this? I have tried Mirroring the display, but they are different sizes and it ruins the view on the lobby screens.

Video/Screen Sharing via 3G connection not possible - port restrictions?

I'm running Jabber-based iChat AV 5.0.3 sessions from my MBP connected to the Internet via a wireless USB modem 3G/UMTS (German Telekom D1 network). My buddies are connected to the Internet via regular broadband connections (DSL). I have set up a hosted Jabber server via Dreamhost (without SSL, port 5222 used).
Status Quo:
- Contact status of remote Jabber users shows up properly. All buttons (text chat, screen sharing, video) are available (not greyed out) on both sides.
- Text chat works fine.
- Video chat and screen sharing can be invoked from both sides (confirmation window shows up), but after confirmation the initiation process doesn't finish successfully. The video/screen sharing session doesn't run. *iChat AV shows a message indicating that it doesn't receive an answer from the remote user device.* If the iChat session is initiated from a buddy's computer, the buddy gets the same message respectively.
- For testing purposes, I changed the internet connection on my MBP from the mobile 3G USB modem to a regular *DSL broadband connection (same ISP, German Telekom). In this scenario, video/audio calls and screen sharing work flawlessly!* Therefore, I assume that the problems in 3G connection mode is caused by the ISP (German Telekom) blocking/restricting ports required by iChat AV for initiating the video call and streaming the data on their 3G network.
Is there any way to bypass ISP restrictions, by either changing specific iChat AV port settings on both ends (client devices) or by port forwarding? If yes, which settings should I change? Unfortunately, it's couldn't find any document indicating which ports are opened/allowed by German Telekom's 2G/3G (GSM/UMTS) network.
Below is an excerpt of the error message produced by iChat AV:

Hi,
Does this 3G device have any set up functions that are on your Mac ?
If it does not it is likely that it is wide open to all Port (65535 of them).
I presume that in System Preferences > Network you see a Public IP when using this device ?
Again this would tend to pint to all the ports being open.
Is there anything on the ISP's web site that suggests this device is unsuitable to be used with VoIP or SIP connections ?
VoIP (Voice over the Internet) uses the SIP connection process the way iChat does.
Most likely the issues is the way packets are sent.
When you do a download, for instance, do you find the speed increases in the first few minutes ?
When some data packets are sent over the Internet the next one is not sent until confirmation that the first has arrived.
This Latency effects Point to Point WiFi (antenna to Dish on House) and satellite connections mostly particularly when it is a two way thing.
It can effect Mobile/Cell phone type connections.
What sort of Speeds are you getting on the 3G device ?
http://www.speedtest.net/
Do these seem to get faster as the time proceeds ? (this can be difficult to spot).
The Log mentions one end being at just over 2Gbps although it does not make it clear which end.
As the Remote end is the end that reports "Router: Port Restricted" and it works over standard DSL we have to presume they have the ports open.
You could try restricting iChat 's Bandwidth in iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section to 500kbps (try it at both ends)
If that does not work try 200kbps
This may stop iChat from trying to send data too Fast for the Network Connections.
Realistically there are a few too many variables here.
It could be Speed of data throughout at the Initiation point. (Slow Start up of data transfer)
It could be an Internal setting preventing SIP.
It could be that the 3G network sends and receives data by different routes.
(I have seen this once when a ISP was repairing some Cabling. To maintain end user speeds they managed their own network to split Incoming and outgoing data to the end point.)
iChat does not like this as it checks the IPs and the Hops (number of intermediate stages/servers) and if the data is different it will not connect (Man in the Middle attack protection).
I can't remember the last time I knew of someone being successful with either an 3G USB dongle or a 3G phone as Modem (internet Sharing).
Despite my ideas I think you will be unlucky and this will not work.

So you can ping and nslookup from your ms to these agents and vice versa right? I wouldn't do a manual install, I would push the agent from the management server. You can uninstall the agent manually, or use cleanmom to get rid of them. Then
do an install from the console. When you initiate the install from the console (management server), should it run into any issues it will dump out an error which will give you an idea of where the problem may be.

1. Ensure agent push account has local admin rights
2. Firewall is blocking NetBIOS access. If Windows 2008 firewall is enabled, ensure “Remote Administration (RPC)” rule is enabled/allowed. We need port 135 (RPC) and the DCOM port range opened for console push through a firewall.
3. Inspect WMI service, health, and rebuild repository if necessary

Philips PAC132 Video Screen fed from Classic iPod

For those interested, I have tested (successfully) a Philips PAC132 video screen fed from a Classic iPod. The PAC132 is a second video (& audio) screen for the Philips portable DVD players. The advantage to this setup is cost and weight vs a portable DVD player.
Only complication is connecting cables. I used the docking jack composite cables from Apple (w/ RCA connectors) to connect to the iPOD. The PAC132 has a triple micro jack female input. I purchased the composite cable set for the previous generation of iPods (micro jack instead of docking jack). I also need a female:female gender changer connector to connect the 2 sets of male RCA jacks.
Only surprise was I needed to change the jack arrangement to get it to work. For my cabling, I needed to hook the yellow (video) jack from the iPod to the Red RCA jack from the PAC132. The other RCA jacks are just for right/left audio channels. After the jack realignment, everything seems to work fine. Be advised that the original composite cable set (w/ micro jack) that I tried (from my video) camera did not work (maybe bad cable set).
Video/Audio performance feedback is good, but not great. Video resolution seems a bit grainy and audio dynamic range is about what you would expect with 1.5" speakers, but if you a spend ~100 days/year on he road in foreign countries, it a good solution. Total weight of the video screen is less than 1.5 lbs and the cost was around 70 GBP ($140 US). Breakdown of cost is 55 GBP for the PAC132 and 15 GBP for extra composite cable set with the micro jack from Apple. It will be substantially less if you purchase this kit in the USA.
Hope this helps & good luck

No, at this time it is not possible, but perhaps you could mention this to Apple through the iPod Classic Feedback page if you wish.

JMenuItem covered by video screen

the JMenuItem is covered by the video screen
how do we overcome this?

I don't know what you mean by video screen. What kind of component is it.
This effect usually comes from mixing Swing and AWT components.
Make sure you are using javax.swing.JPanel instead of java.awt.Panel etc.

Remote tv screen

I have an I mac that appears to be old [2006] and i am trying to get a remote tv screen to operate. I have connected a MAC to VGA adaptor and then to a VGA-HDMI converter also the sound lead then an HDMI lead to remote tv. Is there something I am not doing, could somebody put me on the right track cheers

Yes - works fine for me.
AppleTV--->Panasonic plasma via HDMI.
Optical to Yamaha DSP.
Works with TV off via power switch or watching another HDMI/standard input, using iPhone to control music via optical to my hi-fi.
HDMI does odd things sometimes - if it's not working either power down TV with it's switch not the remote or try connecting via component - AppleTV may be having 'spurious HDMI issues' if TV is in standby or on another channel.

Scrambled video screen from podcasts

The video screen on my 2-month old iPod Nano is scrambled on podcasts such as "Photoshop TV" podcast. Still pictures and type are good and everything else works perfectly. All searches to this point have been unsuccessful in solving this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, didn't realize my Nano didn't support video. So that answers my question. Will need to invest in an iPod that does. Thanks so much for the help. --glemac

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

Question 2: is it available for the iphone 4 with ios5?

Did you figure out how to capture video yet?

Screen Share - How does one lock the remote computer screen?

Using Screen Share in Lion I am unable to lock the remote users screen.

I use JollysFastVNC as my local client, and remote screen lock used to work with Snow Leopard. They have a note on their website that it doesn't work with Lion, when I try it kicks me out of the session.
I wonder if Apple removed this feature and reserved it for Apple Remote Desktop?

Hi,
Are you on SP06? If so, and you are sure that the RFC connections have been set up correctly, as well as all the SPM related configuration at both the GRC and plug-in systems (SPM ID = Service type, SPRO etc), you probably need to consider implementing the following SAP note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1652880.
This fixed a similar issue I had when we moved to SP06. I understand that this note is delivered as part of SP07 now.
Hope that helps.

Creating video screen ads 384 x 240 px quality problem in FCP

I am a creating video ads for my client for an outdoor event which will be shown on a big video screen.
I contacted the Audio visual company who are supplying the equipment and techy guys for the event and they told me to create the ads at 384 x 240 pixels in Quicktime.
So i have created a custom sequence in FCP of 384 x 240 pixels with a pixel aspect ratio of (PAL- CCIR 601 720X576), field dom is lower (even) and qt settings as DV-PAL but when I bring in any graphics or film or motion graphics to that sequence and render it the quality is awful...any ideas?

Well, part of the reason your quality has been awful is because you're using DV compression settings on your sequence.
Create a 1080i ProRes sequence. Bring all your elements into that. Create a 16x10 matte in photoshop and overlay it on top of your sequence, to avoid losing anything when you make your final crop.
Edit your sequence. Remove the matte. Export a self contained QT at the sequence settings.
Open that file in Compressor. Select your desired video settings. In the geometry tab, resize to "Custom", enter 384x240, maintain aspect ration by cropping.
Submit.

PLEASE HELP, SOMEONE REMOTELY VIEWING/SCREEN SHARING MY MACBOOK?

Hi - I urgently need help from anyone who knows about this issue - I am a very basic macbook user, and don't really know about all the different programmes etc. I believe someone ( the guy who sold me the macbook, who told me he was a mac repair person and programmer) has been hacking into the computer, using the remote access - there is a programmed called SCREEN SHARING but I cannot access it - and a bunch of other files such as odsagent etc - not sure if these indicate he is using the screen sharing/ remote access to my mac.
The reason that I believe he is accessing the mac, is that he downloaded all the files, so would clearly have access to passwords etc, there were loads of his old files, that showed pictures of people saying " target", and old files showing he was studying comuter/ mac programming. The first time I went online all of a sudden the computer froze, and two green lights showed on the num lock key and the shift key I think, the two keys were frozen, and the keyboard basically wouldnt respond, but the activity continued on the screen. This has happened a number of times since then, usually just randomly the keyboard freezes, and if you wait a while it goes back to normal - the mouse works fine, then one day it keep sort of freezing/ getting stuck/ pausing for no reason - the next day its fine again. He put in a load of software, which he has obviously been able to get round the need of liscening numbers, as he did not provide me with them. one day I saw a name "macbook pro" suddenly appear, and that it was tryin to connect/ share or something - this has never happened to me before with my old mac- it was like another computer was connecting/ sharing with my computer without my permission - this was when I was online. This has not happened since.
I am scared he is accessing the computer, because these things that happened, and because there is loads and loads of files and programmes, which sound suspicious, i dont know what they do, and I just have this dogey feeling about this guy, and the fact that there is screen viewing/ remote management files etc which I cant access, but I am not sure if they are being accessed.
PLEASE HELP - I FEEL LIKE MY PRIVACY IS BEING INVADED - I was speaking to my family on Skype and the green lights came on/ it froze, I continued with the conversation, but later I felt like he might have been watching.
If anyone can recommend an expert in the London area, that can check the mac to see there is nothing on there that is being used to remotely control/ screen share my mac, I would be very grateful - its just horrible using your computer, and always being worried someone is invading your privacy, and and downloading your files etc.
Sorry if I sould paranoid, but I have a strong feeling something is not right here.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Since you don't know much about computers, disconnect your internet (wireless or wired) to prevent future unwanted access. While it is smart to contact Apple Communities, this is a criminal matter and you should consider taking the matter to the police. People like this will not stop with you. You need to list the private data that may be stolen and take action (cancel credit cards, change passwords, bank accounts, phone numbers, whatever you have cause to be worried about). If you can afford it, buy a new hard drive, remove the old one, and install OS X from scratch. Give your old hard drive to the cops. Make sure you turn the Firewall on (click the Apple up on the toolbar top left > System Preferences > Security) and uncheck any "Sharing" options (System Prefernces > Sharing). This event you are experiencing is unfortunate, and rare, but with a pro-active attitude you will come through it fine - and wiser.
EDIT
dgambler is right in that by purchasing a Snow Leopard disk (presuming you don't already have one) and performing a fresh install (it is easy) is a sure way to "take back" the controls of your Mac. You will need to study online tutorials for "wiping the drive" rather than a simple install. But you should let the police look at the hard drive before you do that - they will be able to see exactly what this person did.

Video screen effect

Hi, was wondering if someone could help me pls! I am doing a title sequence for a charity cabaret I was involved in organising, had it filmed and now Im editing it together. Im doing it up like the Saturday Night Live titles (big fan!) I've used footage I have taken from around London of theatres etc. mucked around with them in photoshop freezeframed them taken out the original theatre signs and replaced them with either pictures or strobed video footage. Im doing one of them in Picadilly Circus, bit fiddly, I want to try and mimic the video screen effect that you get. What I mean is the small lines that make up a video screen, so it looks vaguely connected to the picture. I;ve tried some filiters, but none of them look good.
