Can't display video out on a projector

Hi
I needed to show a powerpoint presentation at school but was unable to because the
"viewsonic PJ513DB"projector would remain blank. (mini display to VGA) even after I restarted the computer and the projector, it stubbornly remained blank. even in preferences there were no options to configure. I have already tried it on my external samsung display at home and it worked. maybe it was after i changed the settings to extend my desktop and changed it to a higher resolution on that samsung monitor... also when i booted into windows vista the projector would display my desktop but the resolution is too low to display anything, yet alone a powerpoint... any help?

Next time you plug in your MDP to VGA adapter to an external monitor, try installing this. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/minidisplayporttov gafirmwareupdate10.html

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • Video out to a projector

    I just bought a fire wire 366mhz clamshell off eBay.
    Can I hook this laptop up to a video projector?
    Does it have a video out?
    I have seen cables for sale on eBay that states they are for some g3 units, is mine equipped for it?
    Ibook clamshell - 366mhz with firewire   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    Yes, yours is equipped. You'll need the composite out connector here...
    You can buy it here ...of course your projector will have to accept RCA type inputs.

  • How can I get video out to my TV from my old G4 AGP 450mHz?

    Hi all,
    just wondering if anyone has any idea how to get video out from my old G4 tower? It's an AGP model (1st gen), 450mHz. All I've found so far is a link to very expensive Radeon cards, well beyond what I need, which is:
    - S-video or even RCA out so I can see my computer on a TV screen
    - Solution for under or around $50
    That's pretty much it. I can't seem to find a VGA to S-Video adapter anywhere out there - does it exist? I don't have DVI on this machine either.
    I've Googled this all over, and I saw plenty of stuff to get a Mac Mini out with a DVI adapter, but this obviously won't work (no DVI)
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Hmm... not a bad idea! I even checked and apparently an ATI Radeon 7000 supports video-out. Gonna see if I can get one for cheap - maybe on ebay. This will work fine with Panther or Tiger?
    I've even considered buying a PC version of a Radeon card and flashing it to work with my G4, but that is very sketchy, even for me.
    Will let you know how this turns out. Any other ideas are welcome

    Mike
    The not very expensive but also discontinued ATI
    Radeon 8500 Mac Edition AGP card has VGA DVI and
    S-Video out. Maybe you could try to find a used one
    on the market... I bough one through other world
    computing within the last year for not very much...
    Just an idea.

  • How can I get video out from my iPhone 5?

    With my iPhone 4, I was able to watch videos on the exercise machines at my gym that were equipped with 30-pin connectors. They piped the video to their display screens, and the audio to a jack for my earpods to plug into. Now that I have upgraded to an iPhone 5, there is no way to directly connect to these machines (they don't have the new "Lightning" connectors). So I bought a Lightning-to30-Pin adaptor at my Apple Store, and sadly learned that it doesn't pass through video, only audio. This is a huge step backwards for me. What is a reasonable solution for this?

    Get the Lightning USB Camera Adapter:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
    and attach your iPhone to your iPad Mini as a Camera.
    or use an App which can transfer the video via WiFi like Photo Transfer:

  • I can't find video out on my iphone 3gs

    I bought an apple component cable for my iphone 3gs and/or 4th generation itouch.  But even when the cable is plugged in I can't find the video out setting.
    I realize that since the new update to 5, this setting is in a different location (under general), but it is still not showing up.
    New Samsung TV is not recognizing anything, no sound, nothing.  Cant seem to find a straight forward answer online. 
    I was hoping to watch netflix from phone through TV.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

    iphone 3s and iphone 4 dont support mirror so it will only use the video out when it's in an supported app test with youtube and maybe video apple app
    netflix may not support video out

  • Device that can split HDMI video out

    I'm starting here before i might get sold something that won't work...
    Am running a late-2012 i7 2.3 quad Mini in a studio.  I (will) have two matching Acer 24" LED
    monitors that need to display the same screen simultaneously- the 2nd monitor in an adjacent room.
    I was going to use Thunderbolt/MiniDisplayPort>DVI for that monitor but the Mini is maxed out - every
    port is being used for something and i need the TBolt for an audio device.  Hence am considering
    splitting the video out.  Question - will a passive "Y" type splitter work and does it put any extra drain
    on the Mini in a way that might 'tax' it too much -- or is there a powered device that would be better
    suited for this task and if so, any suggestions of a model or two that are known to be reliable?
    Also, would a passive splitter make the display on either of the monitors dimmer ?  I seem to recall
    somebody saying they had an issue where one or the other was less bright when using a splitter(?)
    Thanks for any info you might have!  Much appreciated!
    Mike

    Hi Gary, thanks for your reply.  My question then would be, of the fairly inexpensive 'active' devices pointed out in the comparison review mentioned earlier - i.e.  http://hdmi-switcher-review.toptenreviews.com/ 
    I wonder why any of those wouldn't serve my purposes fine - that is, a switcher.  Or alternately, perhaps there would be cheaper active  VGA (vs DVI) splitters for something in the realm of less than $100 that would do the trick.  For our needs,even if i needed to run VGA (which both monitors are capable of) it wouldn't be such a critical application that this would be a major factor - vs. the DVI..  I would just be going HDMI>VGA split box>two monitors
    I just recalled using a passive VGA splitter cable a couple of years ago on an old Mini now that i think about it - the resolutions matched on the two identical monitors - and both did display without distortion in that case. 
    Even though i believe there was a bit of a dimming effect on both, it wasn't so extreme that they weren't acceptable.  Still, i would buy an active powered splitter - just wonder if i wouldn't be fine to go with something in the under-100.00 set of options shown in the 'reviews' link and if not, what the problem could be. THanks!

  • Can't export video out of Premiere

    I have Adobe Production Prremium CS4 set up in a lab scenario in an educational environment where students capture their video out to a gigabit-connected server, then attempt to export it through Adobe Media encoder either to Encore for DVD production, or to an AVI file for their professor to grade.  When the queue in the encoder is started, the operation fails due to an "access denied" error, regardless of the permissions of the user trying the operation.  It appears that the encoder is trying to use a temp file on the local drive as a working directory, then says it can't access that same directory.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    The post cut off most of what i tried to copy in there.  Anyway, we figured it out:
    The Media Encoder, by default, uses the Media Cache folder in After Effects for a render space.  As I said in the original post, this is a lab environment, so all the machines are set up using imaging software.  With the original image set up using the local Administrator account, the permissions on that folder to everyone else who logged on were set to read-only, so when anyone else tried to use it, it would fail.  I re-set the permissions for read-write access for Everyone, and now it's working fine.  Thanks to the people who offered assistance

  • Can't do video out from multimedia port

    I am trying to connect a 'multimedia cable' to my powerbook 15" via the port to the left of the headphone port. I thought this was the video + audio out port. The mini plug has three segments to it, and fits into this hole. But no signal is sent to the TV set. How do I get this to work without connecting S-video and then a stupid headphone adapter-to-RCA?
    What is the port to the left of the headphone port? It looks like a box with two triangles pointing into it.
    Seth

    Thanks! Wish it were audio-video out like on the clamshell ibooks, but I guess I'll buy the cords for the headphones-to-RCA adapter.
    Appreciatively,

  • Can't transfer video out of iPhoto...

    Hi- hope this is the correct place to post this- if not please re-direct me.  Thanks.
    question: I can't transfer video file from iPhoto (9.5.1) to iMovie (10.0.4).  The video is 6 minutes and 465MB.  I tried to trim but that doesn't shorten actual file.  Any suggestions?  There seems to be a size limit.   Also- what's strange is that when I click "import" from iMovie,  I can't find any library of iPhoto events.  So, I tried to drag the file from iPhoto to iMovie (seems to work for smaller files) and that's when I discovered I couldn't drag this bigger one.  Thanks,
    Brad

  • How can I take video out of icloud?

    Icloud keeps saying out of storage even though I have deleted videos on the ipad. I would like to access files in icloud and see a list of files. How do I do this? Also, I would like to save the videos that now exist in icloud to a hard drive. I did not know that photostream does not keep video so I deleted videos thinking I could retrieve them a month later. Now I see that photostream does not save videos and that I may have lost videos. Can anyone help with this issue?

    The only place iCloud stores your videos is in your backup.  You can't see a list of the files contained in your backup, however, the backup is supposted to include camera roll videos.  If you deleted these videos some time ago, and have been backing up to iCloud daily, you may no longer have a backup that contains your missing videos.  (iCloud saves, at most, your last 3 backups.)  The only way to know for sure is to restore to your backup and see if your videos are recovered.  Just know that when you restore to a backup, all the settings and data on your iPad will revert to those contained in the backup.  If you have more recent data that you don't want to lose you will have to save these first.  Then do the following:
    Import your photos and videos to your computer for safekeeping as they sometimes don't survive the restore process (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
    Make sure your contacts are backed up separately (such as by syncing them with iCloud); these too sometimes go missing when you restore from a backup
    Then, to restore from your iCloud Backup, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase the iPad, which is necessary in order to access your iCloud backup.
    Go back through the setup screens again as you did when it was new and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below)
    Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this may take a while to complete.
    If you don't recover the videos you could repeat the process and try restoring to an older backup if one is available.

  • Can't export video out of Premiere cS5.5

    I am NOT tech savvy and easily overwhelmed at reading some of the suggested solutions to other people's issues. Any patience you can give me is very much appreciated after I ask dumb questions or give dumber answers.
    I am editing a wedding on my iMac. I can give specs later if needed. I have edited other weddings before on this system with the occasional need to force quit from time to time. This time around I used the Dynamic Link option to do my color grading in After Effects. The residing Premiere clips take way too long to render, if they render at all, and playback is always choppy so I export H264 files from After Effects to replace my clips in Premiere.  At first, I didn't put a cap on the data rate which made all my files really large. My reception section was like 30 something GB and I could understand why that wouldn't allow me to dynamic link to Encore to finalize for DVD. So I limited the data rate to 40,000 kbps so that i wouldn't sacrifice quality.
    After importing the clips and adding them to the timeline I still couldn't get Encore to open properly without it being forced quit. So I broke my timeline up into 4 smaller sections to export to MPEG 2. The first section exported beautifully. I haven't been able to get Premiere Pro to do anything since. And I've constantly had to force quit Premiere Pro through the entire project.
    Is anyone willing to help me out here? I thank all in advance.

    What Mac OS? It makes a difference. Neither Yosemite nor Mavericks is supported officially, but we believe work.  See the following thread for some info.
    CS5 Encore Yosemite
    If would not use dynamic link; it is just a headache with the other issues you will have.
