Canvas Remains Still While Output Monitor is Fine

Recently the Mac Pro station I work on was upgraded from FCP 6.x to 7.03. Noting that everything worked fine prior to the upgrade and everything works fine after the upgrade except this new problem:
When scrubbing the timeline audio and video playback fine on both the external monitor and the FCP canvas window. When I playback the timeline the output monitor works fine but the canvas window remains frozen on the first frame where the playhead was. As soon as you stop playback the canvas will update to the current and correct frame but it remains still or frozen during all playback except scrubbing.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Oops, sorry,wrong answer - let me try again:
Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > Audio Video Settings and click on the A/V devices Tab. Make sure "Mirror on Desktop" is selected:

How to make a button remain still while on top of a rotating image?

I've tried making an interactive menu that has a rotating image in the background and some buttons on top of that background. The background itself is in a JPanel and the button is added directly on that JPanel since the Panel occupies the entire frame. Now, the problem is that the button spins along with the rotated graphics X_X. So...any ideas?
Here's some of the code:
class EyE extends JPanel{
Image im;
public int angx=0;
MediaTracker tracker=new MediaTracker(this);
EyE(){
Toolkit ec=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
im=ec.getImage("Graphics\\hcr1.png");
setPreferredSize(new Dimension (400,400));
setBackground(Color.BLACK);
JButton frog=new JButton("Jerry");
this.add(frog);
setOpaque(false);
setVisible(true);
public void paintComponent(Graphics ecr){
Graphics2D g2d=(Graphics2D)ecr;
tracker.addImage(im,1);
try{tracker.waitForID(1);}
catch(InterruptedException ie){}
//code for roatating image (really didn't want to use AffineTransform)
double cs=Math.cos(Math.toRadians(angx)),ss=Math.sin(Math.toRadians(angx));
g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(angx));
double x2=(200*cs-200*ss),y2=(200*ss+200*cs);
double m,n,d,tetcs1,tetss1,tetcs2,tetss2,ang1,ang2;
d=(Math.sqrt(Math.pow((y2-200),2)+Math.pow((x2-200),2)));
tetcs1=d/(400*Math.sqrt(2));
tetss1=Math.sqrt(1-Math.pow(tetcs1,2));
tetcs2=(160000-Math.pow(d,2))/160000;

27" iMac, HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor, LCD TV as an output monitor

I'd like to know few things before I dive into the world of FCP/FCE.
Is it possible to set your Samsung 52" Hi-def LCD TV to act as your output monitor (or secondary screen however you call it) from the DisplayPort on the 27" iMac? If so, how do you set it up?
Basically I'd like to view what I'm working on the FCP out to the 52" TV as if I'm watching the HD cable TV.
I already bought the HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor (1080p) made by Kanex. It's also designed to carry digital audio through the USB.
I did manage to duplicate the Mac's desktop on the TV but the image quality wasn't what I'd expect from the 1080p HD. I am using the hackable Panasonic GH1 camera.
Anyway I did try to set it up for the iMovie but couldn't.
I went to a few Apple Stores nearby but no one could answer my question.
I'd appreciate your expertise.
Thanks.

The display port sends out a COMPUTER signal. Even if you convert it to HDMI, it is still a computer signal, and not a VIDEO signal. Different characteristics. And the computer image isn't the proper gamma, it doesn't show interlacing properly among other things.
For proper video monitoring, like you'd see it on your TV from the cable service, you need an HD Input/Output device, like Matrox, AJA, Decklink, MOTU. Unfortunately with an iMac, your choices are VERY limited, if they work at all. The MOTU V4HD is your only option, as it uses a firewire interface, and doesn't take over the FW bus (Unlike the AJA IO HD).
What you have might be fine just to see things bigger, but not good for any critical judging of your image.

I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

Hi aefulcher,
It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

Monitor has weird, pixelated colors, but external monitor looks fine

I have a MacBook Pro. It is a couple of years old. Recently the monitor started fritzing out. At first it would happen only happen when I ran windows through boot camp. A couple of days later, it began happening in os x too.The screen seems to be operating on a reduced amount of colors, a preponderance of green and everything is pixelated. There are blobby shaped circles of rainbow all over the desktop. Windows on top of the desktop look better, but still way too green and pixelated. All parts of the screen are equally bad. I tried changing all the settings in display. Also ran disc utility. The display on the external monitor looks fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Some MBP have bad nVidea graphics chips that can do wheat you describe, except it usually affects an external monitor as well. It's covered by a warranty extension program here:

Airport Utility on iphone ipad ios8 often shows internet disconnected while macbook connects just fine

Hi, I need help with this problem that just arose after updating my devices (iphone 5 and ipad air) to ios8.
Every now and then the internet disconnects, and in Airport Utility the Internet is shown disconnected (orange bar), while it is perfectly fine both on the motorola modem and AirPort TC.
My MacBoook and Android devices can connect smoothly to the internet and the only devices affected by this problem are my iPhone and iPad. All the iOS and firmware are most recent ones.
Thanks in advance,
Steven Antonius

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. Currently, I am unaware of any issues with OS X 10.8.x and the earlier 802.11b/g AirPorts or with them conflicting with earlier OS X Macs.
If you temporarily power-off the iMac can the MacBook connect now? If so, try setting the Radio Mode on the Express to: "802.11g only." By default, it is set at: "802.11b/g compatible." Verify that the MacBook can still connect. Once verified, power-down the MacBook. Now power-up the iMac. Verify that it can connect. Leave it powered on. Finally power-up the MacBook. Can it connect now?

Output monitor not playing in realtime

I cannot get my output monitor to play in realtime. I have sound playing in realtime out of monitor but fotage only appears on screen when clip is stoped in the timeline of fcp

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

The 30" display needs a DUAL-LINK adapter.

Certain episodes of podcasts won't sync while others sync perfectly fine

Recently I have run into a problem where certain episodes of podcasts dont sync while others sync perfectly fine. How can I fix this? The last time one of my video podcasts updated was October 31s, there are about 5 episodes a day. It is the same with several of my podcasts. I have it set to sync all. They are mostly video podcasts, all of my videos are set to sync and I only listen to podcasts from the iTunes store. The episode do not exist anywhere on my iPod, I have looked. The only error message I get is the standard Windows 7 Format Error. I have asked this question before, but someone clicked correct answer so no one who could help is looking at it since they think it is solved.

How do your have your iPod configured to sync podcasts from under your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes? If you are unsure of how to locate this tab, click on your iPod from under the list of device in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should bring you to the Summary tab. Now locate the Podcast tab along the top.

Hi AFace; hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that you are having this issue.
Your HP Color Laserjet CM1015 MFP is a commercial product. I will suggest posting and looking in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.

No images from timeline on output monitor?

After installation CC: “Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects and Photoshop”, when I play from the timeline in Adobe Encore CS6, the output monitor gives only sound no images?
We have already install the newest drivers from Matrox.
Please tell me what to do?
Best regards,
Koos Wolf

Presumably by "Output monitor" you mean a monitor attached to the Matrox device - which I assume is an MXO2?
If so you will need to set Encore, as well as Premiere, to output the timeline through the MXO2.
In Encore go to the Edit menu, Select Preferences, then the Audio/video Out tab. Go to the Video Out section of the panel, and select Matrox Player from the drop down list.
Now click on Set Up, and adjust the settings in the dialogue box to suit your format.

I am facing problem in playing yahoo pool in Firefox 4 while it was working fine in Firefox 3.6. In Firefox 4 the combination of mouse keys are not working properly.

I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
So glad to get this working again.

T61 display artifacts (blue stripes and red shadowing), external monitor is fine

Hello everyone!
I have a Lenovo T61 laptop that's just (in March) ran out warranty and obviously developed peculiar single-pixel-level artefacts. Now I know that these kind of problems are generally solved by buying a new laptop, but I'm not convinced that this isn't a software problem. Given below are my observations, so, engineering minds, let's unite and please help me solve this.
Relevant specs:
OS: Windows XP SP3 & Ubuntu 11.04
GPU: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M (version 266.58)
TFT Panel: 1440x900
The big problem:
White display areas have every other column in cyan (Image A), black areas have red shadowing (Image B). The artefacts are present in both OS and in the BIOS screen as well (which is really bad, I know). Red and cyan is both due to the red channel, so we can narrow this down, other colours are displayed fine.
The PECULIARITY of this artefact is that it is only present for:
Cyan columns - pixel values above 247
Red shadowing - pixel values below 4 (And I mean EXACTLY those values, value of 4 - no artefacts, value of 5 - completely unbearable. See Image C, where this display is photographed while showing two patterns with only that slight variation is pixel values. Patterns are attached as D)
Middle gray (value 127) causes flickering, while 128 is perfectly fine.
Solutions tried so far:
Reinstalling GPU drivers - no avail
Setting display contrast to < 35% in Nvidia control panel - artefacts dissappear nearly completely.
I've never heard of such a thing, but since the causing values are so exact I can't believe that this is just fried panel or a broken cable.
So what do You think?
Regards,
Lukas

Welcome to the forum!
Your GPU is failing.
Lenovo might or might not fix it, although it's out of warranty. They are *extremely* well-aware of the problem that plagued these chips.
Reading related threads here or on Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum will reveals hundreds - if not thousands - of similar cases...
Good luck.

PB still thinks external monitor is there

Any thoughts on why my Powerbook still thinks the secondary monitor is attached?
I had connected an external monitor to my PB via the S-Video port for a presentation, and since then - it still thinks the monitor is there.
I've restarted, reset PRAM, logged in as a newly created user, and it still allows me to move the trackpad passed the LCD's boundries.
There has to be another option besides reinstalling the whole system?

Perhaps try connecting the PB to a different external display to make it forget the S-video connected one was ever there. Hopefully it will then forget the newly connected one once you have detached it.
Admittedly this is not a great solution and certainly doesn't get you to the root of the original problem.

We can not see your computer, your settings or even know what your source files are because we are not in the same room as you are!
We cant see what you are doing wrong ...so you will have to tell us a lot more and show us some screen grabs of your settings.
