Cant turn video out on ?

hi seem to be having a problem ,i cant seem to be able to turn video out on .silly thing.

Have you ever been able to? I don't have a Nano, but on the Classic line apparently Apple changed it from the 5th generation where it used to be you could play video out of the headphone jack and set the TV Out to ON. Now on the Classic you can only output the video through the dock connector and you need a dock to do so and the option to change TV Out to ON only is allowed when the iPod is seated in a docking station.
So I suspect that the 3rd gen Nano, released a the same time as the Classic has been designed the same way. Video only via the dock connector and the option to set TV Out to ON only when docked in a docking station.

P.S. Now that I think about it more, it might be you need either a docking station OR one of the dock connector AV cables, not the old headphone jack AV cables.

My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work. Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

My iCloud Backup button is grayed out and i cant turn it on. All my devices are on Wifi. Help!

my iCloud Backup button is grayed out and i cant turn it on. All my devices are on Wifi. Help! Both my ipad and iPhone

A number of employers will push a security profile to your phone when you add their exchange account that prevents you from backing it up to iCloud. They do this because they don't want confidential company information on another companies servers. If this is the case, you will find a setting called "Profile" in Settings>General near the bottom.
You would have to contact the company's IT department to confirm that they are preventing you from backing up to iCloud but that's normally what causes the iCloud backup setting to be grayed our or missing from an iOS device.

Videos freeze up, i cant turn my ipod off

i have a few movies on my ipod, real ones that are like 2 hours long. some times they play just fine but other times the freeze about every 30 seconds for about 2 seconds and when i starts playing again there is no sound. i found that if i rewind the movie back to a place where it was before it froze then it will work again but 30 seconds later it will freeze. does any one else have this problem? its very annyoing and i would love a solution.
i have a second problem. when i stop a movie and i want to turn my ipod off for a little i am not ably to turn it off. i tryed pressing and holding the play button and also clicking alot on the sleep button on the main menu but it just wont respond. i can do other things, just not turn it off. i can finaly turn it off after about 5 minutes of trying. i noticed that there is a hummung noise when i put the ipod to my ear during the time i cant turn it off, and when the noise stops i can.

Hi.
have you updated with ipod updater 3-23-06?
I've heard that the problem where video play stops and then audio quits was resolved at least for some people with this update.
when the ipod makes independent noise that is usually the harddrive working. sometimes after a while of video playback the ipod gets warm and it won't respond to sleep commands until it cools off and the harddrive stops running. then you can turn it off.
when that happens have you tried resetting? (holding down menu and select buttons until apple screen comes on). I think that might help it respond faster.
good luck
the warm ipod thing may not be absolutely factual.

The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

Suggestion: iPhone when locked should ask the passcode if you want to turn it off. We can locate if steel by someone if they cant turn it off. Also they should put a kind of security so robbers cant take the SiMCard out easily

Do a search in this forum about forgot passcode or phone is disabled because of forgotten passcode.
See how many threads there are for that, now imagine if what you want happens, how many threads do you think we will have about not remember the passcode.
Bad idea.

Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect again in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off and the screen doesnt function. It has frozen with a message on the screen saying ive run out of storage in i cloud and has two boxes for either close or settings But i cant get out of this screen Any ideas?

Hi
My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off or opporate the screen. I have a nessage on screan telling me my storage is full in i cloud but I cant navigate to settings or close

Try this to get rid of the message.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

MSI GeForce 3 Ti200 video out freezes

Hi!
I was testing the composite video and s-video out connectors. In my properties for the GeForce card i can choose between s-video and composite video, but they aren't automatically discovered as connected when pressing that button.
However when i press apply after choosing composite video, my monitor goes black, but i get no signal to my TV. My computer totally stops responding not even ctrl+alt+del will help. I have to press the reset button.
I downloaded TV-tool which i saw someone mentioned in this forum. It works flawlessly using TV tool using composite video(it takes sometime to switch between the monitor and tv but it works).
So as i understand it MSI's drivers or tool for switching between Monitor/video is broken. I have downloaded the latest drivers and tolls with MSI Live update 3, but it still doesn't work.
I'll be damned if i have to purchase a third party product for something that should work out of the box. I mailed MSI support about this and was directed to this forum, so i wonder if anybody else has this problem and found another solution than TV-tool?
I'm running Windows XP with the latest drivers.
Mats

Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

Power Mac Mirror Door DVI or ADC to SINGLE RCA VIDEO OUT to a TV...adapter?

I have a Mirror Door G4 tower that I would like to use as a media center, with an old(er) Magnavox 19" television that only has the single yellow VIDEO IN jack, and the red and white audio L and R. Is there a converter cable that is similar to the one I used to use with my old G4 Powerbook which took the mini DVI and turned it into either composite video out? (I think it was Mini DVI, maybe ADC, whatever that little square video out on the Powerbook G4). I am prepared for low-res results, mostly just want to look at the itunes window and occasionally view utube clips or DVDs.
Also, does the G4 take the original Airport card (not the extreme), and if so does it need a separate antenna the way some G5s do?
And finally should I get good results with a Bluetooth dongle plugged into a USB port on the rear of the G4 when connecting a white Apple wireless keyboard?
Some of these answers will of course sort themselves out with experimentation, but any tips or experience in doing these things would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, m.

I expect the weasel-words in Apple's description are there to be sure that whatever Video card you choose, the card does actually provide the signals needed. These are the VGA-equivalent signals around the Bar at one end of the connector. That gets you Red, Blue, Green+Luminosity, H-Sync and V-Sync. Those signals in combination are all that is needed to build S-Video or Yellow-RCA composite video On-the-Fly (not buffered).
The signals can be sliced and diced to get slightly different versions of Analog Video using adapters built around the SKART interface. There is a cheap one-chip wonder converter used in lots of converters, also loosely called SKART.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKART
This does NOT do conversion to Digital Video, DVI, or HDMI when starting from VGA. That kind of converter has memory and scanning hardware that pushes the cost up higher than the price of an display card.

Video out to hdtv

i'm using mini-dvi to s-video, and outputting to a Panasonic somethinsomethin HDTV. However it's only outputing from 640-480 up to 1024-768
is there any way to get widescreen output out of the video out? do i just need a different connector?
i know the screens native resolution is 1280-800, just like the display on my macbook

hey there Eminemily,
does the desktop image fill the screen? if not you may have mirroring turned on, if this is the case turn it off. i get full screen desktop image on a 26" Olevia LCD widescreen w/ S-video @ highest rez available for a TV output(forget what rez is).
try this: System Prefs.>Displays>Detect Displays>Gather Windows, turn off Mirror>Set Rez for TV. i get 1920 x1080i w/ mini DVI>HDMI on my Sony 42" LCD Poj. HDTV & w/ mini DVI>DVI on Philips 23" LCD HDTV Monitor, nice for watching DVDs & QT HD content from Apple's site.
good luck.

Macbook Pro DVI and Video Out woes..

Hey, this seems to be a known issue although specifics are difficult to nail down. I've had my macbook pro since shortly after they were launched and been using the DVI - S-video adapter since day one, and it's been outputting to all TVs with no problem.
I recently got a nice overtime payment from work and decided to treat myself to an external 24" display, was very pleased with it when it arrived. Plugged it in downstairs, and ran it for a few hours, putting it through its paces - worked great.
Decided to move the whole arrangement upstairs and 'no input signal' said the monitor, the MBP just didn't detect anything in the displays. The built-in display did it's blue screen when the cable was plugged in, so it's definitely detecting something.. The monitor is connected via a DVI-D single-link cable. I've confirmed that both cable and monitor work using a different computer.
So after this happened, I decided to try plugging it into a TV again to see if the S-video out worked and although Displays picks up the TV and everything is as usual, nothing is shown on the screen.
Any suggestions would be very welcome before I get my hammer and remodel my computer!
Anyone else suffering from something similar to this?
The monitor is a 24" Yuraku YV24WBH1.
Cheers.
PS I've tried booting from the install CD, two versions of XP bootcamp (one with standard drivers, one with Catalyst, and the computer's old HD with 10.4 installed on it - no joy with any)

Another update, I did some research and it seems that ATI are cagily admitting to the fact that there might be a problem with the X-series;
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questio nID=26586

http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questio nID=25682
You'll notice that ATI tell you to contact the manufacturer of your computer if the graphics are integrated into the motherboard. Like with Apple. Much joy to be had there.
I phoned their technical support and got talking with a specialist who was mystified and suggested 'turning off the airport'.
Also, it seems that Apple rather significantly "underclocked" the GPUs in their macbook pros;

Could be running the GPUs are running on a lower voltage and maybe they're not working right, or the signal isn't stable enough to pick up an EDID? It seems to be quite a mystery. Perhaps the osx86 community will have some tricks up their sleaves for twisting the x1600's arm. Still doesn't explain why the monitor worked that one time.
This probably isn't an issue for anyone who doesn't want to plug their laptop into an external display, but I suspect it's a widespread problem just waiting to rear its ugly head, especially as HDTVs become more ubiquitous.
Anyone else struggling with external display devices, or with solutions, I'd appreciate your input.

MacBook video out not working

Hi there
I bought the mini-dvi to s-video/composite output to connect my MacBook up to a TV while away from home (to watch TV and movies) but it doesn't work. First I suspected the old TV, but works OK with the Wii connected. Then I thought it was the cable, but I tried a new cable and the sound works fine, so that's not it. Then I suspected the adapter, but when I got home I connected it to my wife's MacBook and it worked fine.
So, looks like I have dodgy graphics card hardware?
The MacBook detects that the adapter is connected, so some of the pins are working OK. I just can't get a signal from my MacBook to the TV and the auto detect does not work.
Anyone got any ideas? The computer is no longer under warranty and I don't have time to take it to the dealer (it takes them three weeks to turn around a fault!) so I'm guessing that I'll have to open up the device myself and check for some bad connections?
Any advice is appreciated!
Regards... Jonny.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Video out to tv not working

Hello,
I just unpacked my new iPod classic and wanted to use the video out option to watch a movie from my new iPod on my TV. Somehow I can get the "TV Out" setting to say "ask" or "TV" like on my last iPod video 5.5. Does anybody know what is causing this problem or do I have to return the item? It´s a real bugger!
I also experienced the click wheel response is very, very slow!
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this...

From what I have read, no, what you wish to do will not work. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I hope that it's possible for Apple to rectify this problem with a firmware update. If that's not possible (e.g. it's a hardware-based problem), they should just issue a recall of all classics, fix the hardware, and rerelease it later after the problem has been corrected.
It is unimaginable to me that Apple could have intended to invalidate monumental quantities of third-party (and even their own!) accessories for those who bought the new classics and touches and nanos. I mean, these are some of Apple's best customers: those who have purchased multiple iPods and bought into the whole accessory market too. Most companies are hesitant to burn their best customers like this, and for good reason: this kind of stuff can easily turn loyal customers into former customers, and via word-of-mouth can also turn potential customers into non-customers.
