Computer screen is giving me a headache

Purchased computer and now have difficulty looking at the computer screen for extended period of time. This was not a problem on Toshiba which was replaced by the Mac.
Any suggestions.

1. Reduce the brightness of the screen.
2. Consult an optician.
3. Asperin.

  • What are best output options in DVDSP for playback on VGA Computer Screen?

    I understand that DVDs were designed to be viewed on TV sets - not computer monitors with much higher resolution than a TV set.
    However .... I'm curious what the best output options are within DVDSP3 for playback on a standard 19" VGA computer screen 1024x768 and not necessarily on a TV screen. Any ideas?
    Will DVDSP3 address playback on a standard VGA computer screen any better than iDVD6? .... or are they both very much the same?
    Here's my objective:
    MiniDV>FCP HD >DVD SP3>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only (no TV involved).
    or...
    MiniDV>iMovie6>iDVD6>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only.
    TIA

    George - I'm not a web designer, so I'm probably not the best person to respond but here goes anyway (FWIW):
    (anywhere from 10sec to 2min) for website visitors to play (but not download). There can be multiple audios per web page.
    No problem. QuickTime. X-platform and you can set whether it's downloadable or not - but that's really moot, as anything on the web can be captured, especially with the 'analog loophole' such as WireTap or Audio Hi Jack.
    I need a combination of buttons from very simple round (or square 20x20 pix) to a bar style with volume control, both with the option to change the color to fit my site.
    Buttons are your business - nothing to do with playback functionality. They are usually just a link to a file - your site should be set up to play anything, by anything, that's clicked on… Flash, QT whatever
    a player that runs from my site and not somebody else's.
    So you're hosting? I'd hate to go down that path… what if your site takes off? What if it goes down?You'd never handle the bandwidth. IMO better to buy inexpensive (but competent) hosting for $10 or so per month and avoid the headaches, and expand the hosting service as and when required.
    See here for example:
    http://soundpropaganda.com/blog/loudness.html
    I have QT files, not downloadable (well, supposedly) from text links (check the green "Here's" links). The link method (graphic, text, whatever) is your design, not part of the playback system.

  • Computer Screen going blank and computer not responding

    I have had a problem when in the middle of doing something my computer screen goes blue and all you can do is power it down. Any suggestions??

    That didn't work. On trying to install a new driver I got the error the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware. Is there anything else that can be done to at least prevent the hanging of the computer even if it means less features from Firefox being available?

  • How to Use My TV screen as a Computer Screen

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 24" Intel IMAC, 1 year old. Great computer! I saw in some other posts that this is possible but I didn't quite understand what I need to do. I would like to use my TV screen as a computer screen, so I can watch things like my subscription to MLB.TV or any other video that I can play on my IMAC. I saw in some posts about using an Apple Video Adapter. Please be specific for me, is that what connects from the back of my IMAC? If so which slot? And going out from the computer, what does that connect to? What should I buy? And from there I can use a composite cables to connect to my TV? Yes, I have inputs for those on the TV.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
    Bill

    Your TV based on the jacks present (which are the same as ports), sound like quite an antique. Modern TVs have special jacks for computer hookup. Sounds like your TV has none. The best you'd hope to achieve is 720 x 480 resolution which would result in very little room for the windows on your screen, and very large text on your TV. Trying to even get the menubar and dock on the screen will be a challenge since TVs that only offer 720 x 480 resolution don't offer any screen area beyond the screen safe area for the menubar and Dock to be visible. It will just center on the screen's center, cutting off 20% of the exterior four sides. Ideally you'd want a 1080P HD-TV for computer hookup.

  • I just downloaded Mountain lion and I kind a wanted to listen to music on my computer screen then to my headphones and I also want to use the dictation Mic output so was wondering if it's at all possible to do those both of the same time, also using the s

    I just have just downloaded Mountain lion and I wanted to listen to music on my computer screen with my HDMI cable plug into my back of my screen and I wanted to talk to dictation on my regular standard iPhone headphone and I was wondering if it's all possible change your settings Mac Mini to set it so you can listen to those both like your headphones and use the mic in your headphones and there's no settings that would change in the Mac Mini so do there is a flaw in this system or I am just really really really really dumb.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

  • I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal?

    I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store.  Let them see what you are seeing.  Only this time............
    Prior to leaving the Apple Store:    ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • I cannot open my facebook page- the print is too tiny- it's shrunk on computer screen so small that i can't read or respond

    My Facebook page shrunk on computer screen. Now it is so small - the majority of the computer screen is blank white- that i can't read, write or use any of the features on Facebook. How can i restore Facebook pages to the full screen.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == THis morning when i was typing a message on Facebook.

    Which add-on did you install that shows you the percentage for page zoom?
    The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox and there's no display of zoom %.
    Default FullZoom Level extension: <br />

  • My daughter disconnected her iPod nano from the lead before ejecting the device.  It no longer syncs and we have re-set the device, but it now only occasionally appears on the computer screen any suggestions please?

    Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
    When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
    The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
    If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • How do I get rid of the search bar that appeared at the top of my computer screen when I down loaded firefox?

    The search bar stays at the top of my computer screen at all times. It runs the full lengh of the screen, has the mozilla logo on the far left then the search bar and a facebook, Wikipedia, youtube and amazon icon.

    Can you post a screenshot?
    Also, do the following:

  • Video looks fine on NTSC / TV, looks bad on computer screen?

    Hi, sorry for the basic question, but i seem to have forgotten the best method for converting my video to a format best suited to play on a computer screen.
    I understand the difference between ntsc and computer screens, as well as why ntsc or most standard tv's play interlaced video well, but i can't seem to find a good codec for exporting (or converting) my video so that it will look sharp on a computer screen.
    The project is for a school, and the primary playback for them will be 1, via a computer out to lcd projector, and 2, simply on a computer. BY the way, the school uses PC's (UGGG!).
    I'm currently doing tests with quick time conversion and trying (amongst other things) Dvix, wmv, and h264.
    The videos are all 720 / 480, dv/dvcpro ntsc as far as fcp sequence settings, and have all been exported via compressor > dvdsp4 as standard DVD's. All of them look great on the tv (of course) and now it's just a matter of whipping out versions that are formatted to play best on computers.
    Any advice

    apparently there is a de-interlace filter in FCP. i don't know much about solving your problem. it has always been a mystery to me. but found this article yesterday which could be your problem. check it out:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25318
    for some reason this link is not working. google this:
    "Interlacing: How to prevent jagged lines in video"
    itll be the apple.com article of the same title.

  • HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

    The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
    Everymac.com says:
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600 (x2*)
    Details:
    *This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
    Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
    When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
    To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.
