Cant see or preview themes, can hear audio - just cant see them ??

Hi all, just upgraded to iDVD 08 and i cant preview any themes 'old or new'?? I have a G4 1Ghz??
Any ideas why nothing is showing up ??

caz surely Apple in there spec would say min graphic card ?? http://www.apple.com/uk/ilife/systemrequirements.htm
... but your original machine doesn't meet those requirements - throwing in a processor upgrade doesn't change the base machine you have.
The Quartz Extreme and Core Image graphics requirements came in with OS X 10.4
iLife '06 claimed compatability with OS 10.3.9; iLife '08 says 10.4.9 or later and ISN'T compatable with OS 10.3.x
iLife '06 didn't have the The Quartz Extreme and Core Image graphics requirements that iLife '08 does.
I'm sure you will continue to run into the Quartz Extreme and Core Image graphics requirements with MANY applications - and things will only get worse. That's one of the big problems with a processor update - you don't REALLY update your entire computer.

  • Can hear audio but get no video in QT player or iTunes or Safari

    I can hear audio, but get no video (ie just a blank window or the "first frame" of the video) when playing basic ".mov" movies using QT Player. I also get the same behaviour when trying to watch movie previews in iTunes. I get the same behaviour when trying to watch QT movies in Safari (for example the latest apple advertisements from apple.com), although ironically I was able to watch the entire Macworld keynote without a hitch in QT Player?!?!
    I know my mac is now "getting on", but I know it is still capable of displaying "ipod" sized movie trailers in iTunes.
    Real player, cameraid, graphic converter and btv pro can all play the movies QT Player cant. Firefox can play the movies that Safari cant play. Unfortunately there isnt an alternative for iTunes.
    Can anyone give any reason or solution to the fact that the core Apple applications are unable to play Apples own movie format when out of date, 5 year old, 3rd party software can?
    I have tried
    1) deleting the QT plist files
    2) reinstalling flip4mac, perian, realplayer and flash, and
    3) have just updated QT an iTunes to the latest version.
    Any ideas?
    The only hint I can think of, is that when playing a movie in QT Player, if you minimise the movie to the dock, and then bring it back to the desktop....it displays the "current" frame of the movie which sits there "frozen" until you do it again ... and just repeating, audio is fine.
    The Plugins in my HD/Libary/Internet Plug-Ins folder are:
    Flash Player.plugin
    flashplayer.xpt
    Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
    Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin
    Java Applet Plugin Enabler
    Java Applet.plugin
    JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
    NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave
    nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
    Quartz Composer.webplugin
    QuickTime Plugin.plugin
    RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
    VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
    Are any of these out of date?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Brad.

    Yes Techmo, persistence is the secret.
    After the QT 6.4.5 update once again made no difference, I gave up with a brand spanking new 2.8Ghz iMac only a couple of days away.
    On cleaning out the old mac getting ready to transfer files to the new mac, I unplugged everything but (of course) power, keyboard and mouse.
    I dont know why, but I tried a movie...and it worked like a charm.
    I dont know what was plugged in that was giving QT grief, but I suspect it may have been my ageing Orange Micro iBot webcam. Too late now to find out (and I no longer care as I gaze on my new 24 inches of beautiful screen real estate), but for all those with this problem....try unplugging everything as I did and see what happens. At least it might be a starting point to solving your problem.
    Strange it only affected Apples own applications though???

  • On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

    On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
    I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
    Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
    My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
    And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
    Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

    I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
    After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
    For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

  • Can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button

    We can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button. Everything seems to be plugged in well. The picture even starts out being sort of dim. And it goes through phases of working fine but then will randomly start blacking out again.  Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried turning the TV off and on again.

  • Cant get video from iPad to come up on Apple TV... Can hear audio

    No video comes up when I hit airplay icon on my iPad (3rd Gen) to my Apple TV (2ndgen).  I can hear the audio.  I can see video on my iPad.  I was trying to view from HBOGo.  Didn't work trying to view YouTube either.  It worked fine a month ago .  Only difference I can think of is I now have iOS version 6 on my iPad

    The computer must be connected to the same network. The modem is the device that communicates with the internet, the router organises your internal network and gives everything on it an address. Usually the modem and router are in the same device and all computers will connect to it either wirelessly or wired, is this not how yours is set up.

  • Can hear audio in a track, but can't see it?!

    I've been doing vocal takes in logic, and now in a track earlier on in the song I can hear a later vocal take, but can't see it?
    It's not doubled up on a hidden track, i've checked that, if I mute the track, it gets rid of the vocal too.
    Anyone have any idea what that could be?
    Image of what's happening is here: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y125/bodyrock666/general/logic-phantom-audio.jp g
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    When more than one audio region gets played through the same track, there is a hierarchy:
    Top region gets played, and in the case of multiple arrange tracks, the top one gets played. All other regions do not play.
    This is why, if you do not want to listen to a region when using this method, you should mut the REGION. Not the arrange track.
    Cheers

  • Video clipp is red but I can hear audio

    I've just got Premiere Elements 8 and starting working with a project from Premier Elements 4. The video clip is all red and I can't see any pictures from the clip. I can hear the audio track. What is wrong?
    Lars Fors

    As we often say on this forum, it's never a good idea to open an older version project with a newer version of the programs. Weird, buggy behavior like this is pretty common.
    I'd recommend you finish your project in version 4 before beginning a new project in version 8.
    You can also output your nearly complete project from version 4 (by selecting the Timeline and going to File/Export/Movie to create an AVI) and then import that AVI into a Premiere Elements 8 project for finishing.

  • Video won't play but can hear audio

    I just purchased some videos for my iPod touch (I believe 2nd generation) and the videos won't play but you can hear the audio.  All I get is a blank screen.  Why is this happening??!!  What can I do??!!

    - Does the video play OK on your computer.  If yes go to the next item.  If not report the problem to iTunes and they will give you a redownload.  Tp contact iTunes:
    How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase
    - I would try transferring the video to itunes on you computer and then deleting it from your iPod.  The go to Advance tab in iTunes and select the Create iPod and iPhone Version and then sync to your iPod.

  • Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 do not play the audio. Can hear audio on camera or downloading same files to a PC. Also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid problem & recover lost audio?

    Files recently downloaded from Canon Legeria FS306 to iMovie '11 do not play the audio. I can still hear audio on the camera or by downloading the same files to a PC. Can also hear audio on earlier files downloaded from the same camera to iMovie '11. How do I avoid this problemand recover lthe ost audio?

    The first thing to try is to run Software Update (the Update tab in the Mac App Store.). This was an issue a couple of releases ago, and an update seemed to fix it.
    If you are already at the most recent version of iMovie, then I don't know how to solve you issue. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

  • FCP 7 - I can hear audio but not see the footage in the viewer or canvas

    Ive had a few problems with my final cut. Im working off my laptop with a monitor. My immediate issue is that I have been editing fine this morning and then all of a sudden I could hear the audio for my clips but I can't see the footage in the viewer or the canvas. I can double clip on each clip individually and see what the footage is however. I've shut my computer down a few times and its not fixing itself. Also a lot lately when I sit down to do some editing the footage flickers on one clip and wont proceed to the next clips footage but I can still hear the sound. I would LOVE some help with this if anyone knows whats going on? Sascha

  • Can hear audio but not see video

    hi,
    so I'm incredibly new to this and it's probably obvious I haven't got a clue,
    but I was editing a video - all is fine,
    save it,
    and now that I'm trying to continue working on it I can't see anything.
    the original clip is visible perfectly fine,
    however the edited version now just looks like three coloured bricks instead of an image, and in the preview is simply a blank screen. I can export the clip and view it fine that way, however the quality is much lesser.
    I'm about to give up on this entirely.
    please, any help is appreciated.
