DVI to video issues, please help!!!

When I plug my mac mini up to my tv, it loads fine, then when the desktop appears it goes black and white and starts rolling, and flickering. I've tried some different resolution settings and no go. Any advice??? Thanks,Jason

Ok, I fixed my own issue. If anyone is having the same issue do this:
In safe mode:
Go to preferences
display
click color tab
make sure ntsf/pal is highlighted
click calibrate
go through the steps to calibrate
when your done, restart your mac (in regular mode)
Should work fine, besides the words are blurry, but I guess there's no real fix for that. Hope this helps. I've only owned a mac for a week now, but I already love it!

  • Very confused Mini DVI to Video Converter - please help!

    I have a iBook G4 that I use as my home ents hub, I purchased a DVI to Video converter which worked well for about a week until one day my Mac started recognising it as a VGA adapter.
    When the adapter's plugged in the only options in the displays preferences panel are for VGA resolutions, no PAL or NTSC settings and I get a squiggly black screen on my TV.
    The adapter works perfectly well with my friend's identical iBook and on his iMac too.
    The mini DVI port on my mac works fine when hooked up to a VGA monitor.
    HELP!!!! Until I get this fixed I'm stuck watching Lost on a 12" screen, which *****.

    I have the exact same problem. For years my iBook has output happily to the tv via the Mini-VGA -> Composite/SVIDEO adaptor. Suddenly it stopped working and recognizes the adaptor as a VGA-Monitor.
    I've tried resetting the PMU, flashing the PRAM and NVRAM, "shoving" the cable into the socket, deleting com.apple.windowserver.plist files...

  • FLV video issue , please help

    hi everybody, im an actionscript 3 programmer, with some
    experience but im quite desperate with an issue that i can´t
    solve, please help help, if you know the solution to my issue my
    email is [email protected], thanks so much, i explain now
    * im building an application in which i have to show many flv
    videos dynamically, i have tried with both systems, with the
    FLVPlayback component being created dynamically and with the
    simpler netconnection and netstream etc way, the thing itself works
    no probs , the videos get created no probs at all, now the problem
    is that videos stop playing just after they start, or they play a
    few times and then they freeze or sometimes they dont even load at
    all, this happens both locally and remotelly
    * i read about the MIME video/x-flv issue, i have apache in
    my computer so i set the MIME right there and i still have the
    problem, so it doesnt seem that the MIME issue is the problem, even
    more:
    * first, to provide context, i have a PC with Windows Vista,
    and Flash CS3 Professional, and Flash CS3 Video Converter and Riva
    FLV Encoder, locally i have Apache and PHP installed, remotely a
    fasthosts server
    * i have found that if i encode the videos without audio!
    they almost always work, but here comes the desperating thing, if i
    encode them without audio, they always load, but they still freeze
    sometimes.... so if videos have audio, often they dont even load,
    if they dont have audio, often they work perfect and play, but
    still after playing 2 times maybe they freeze and they dont play
    more
    * i have executed my application in the flash environment, in
    a browser locally, locally in localhost through apache, and online
    in a fasthosts server;
    * i thought i had found something when i realized that if i
    encoded the videos with no audio they seemed to play well no probs,
    but i have found that even then they will freeze and stop moving
    after a while often
    * to encode i have tried many things! the Flash CS3 video
    encoder with different settings, and also the RIVA FLV Encoder
    * i have also , thinking that the kind of video source could
    be important, i have encoded a couple of different sources with
    same results, i encoded uncompressed AVIs and also wmvs
    please anybody can help, as im quite desperate with this,
    thanks very much, my email is [email protected]
    all best and thank you
    Jav

    hi again, i have noticed also that sometimes videos play well
    in Firefox, and not in explorer, why could this be? ive heard of
    other people with similar problems but didnt find a solution
    anywhere, some tests work perfect in firefox online and not at all
    in Explorer, any idea?
    its all coded in actionscript 3
    thank u very much

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

    The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
    So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
    ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
    THANKS GUYS

    THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...

    Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.

    I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
    Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
    Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

  • Trackpad Issue - Please Help!

    Hi there,
    Hope you can help me out here.
    I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
    A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
    These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
    Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
    There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
    If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
    This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
    Appreciate your help here.
    J

    I'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
    I can't thank them enough.
    My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
    The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related.

  • Headerrenderer issue -Please help

    Headerrenderer issue -Please help
    hi
    I have a datagrid and I am  doing a custom sorting on the grid(by getting data from DB).
    I achieve this by capturing the headerrelease event of datagrid .In thee venthandler I will query from DB and do event.preventdefault to prevent standard grid sorting.
    Now I need to display my own custom ascending/descending arrows in the header.i have created an header renderer for this,
    In the headerrenderer I am lsitening to the headerrelease event of datagrid and in the eventlistener, as per the sortfield, i am trying to make the sort arrow visible/invisible.
    But somehow making the sort arrows visible/invisible is not working.The initial arrow works fine.it is shown the correct column(Name) as done in the init() method.
    The eventhandler is invoked on clicking the column headers and all the alerts are shown.
    Please see the headerrenderer code below and help me.(code is not complete only the relevant part is included)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:HBox

  • Newbie. local video player issue, please help.

    Hi,
    I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 for a few months but I can't seem to figure out my problem and was hoping someone here with much more wisdom could please help me.
    I am creating a local site, just for use on my personal computer, to better organize my computer as well as my life.
    I am trying to link some videoes I have on my computer so that when I click on them they will open in my default media player (VLC), however I seem to only be able to get them to open on another webpage.
    ie. I click on my morning workout video and instead of it opening in VLC player my site goes to a new page that plays the video there (with no controls). Is there a way I can get my video player to open the local file instead of it being sent to a new page? The files are in .avi, .mp4, .mp3, .flv, .mpeg format.
    I know I could simply find all the files individually when I want to watch them but that would defeat the purpose of creating this site to organize my computer.
    This issue is driving me crazy. I would really appreciate any and all help! Thank you!

    Yes, I hope they will provide that option in the software update asap.

  • MacBook connecting to Mini-DVI to Video Adapter problems- HELP!!!

    I just purchased the mini-dvi to video adapter. Immediately upon connecting the device, it makes the connect sound, followed immediately by the disconnect sound, accompanied with a flashing black screen. This repeats until I remove the adapter. I just updated my graphics driver, but that didn't help. I'm running windows XP on a macbook purchased in august 2007. please help!

    Does the adapter work if you're in OS X? If so, you may get better help over in the Boot Camp forum here:

  • Itunes Video Problems Please Help

    All of my videos imported onto itunes, except for one I just recently download. It is the same mpeg4 format as all the others, and there is no reason I can think of that it will not import. Can anyone please help me?, as I would really like to have this file on my ipod.
    Thank you very much!

    Your video you purchased from ITunes plays correctly because it was properly produced to work on the IPOD. As to your other questions:

  • MBP running at a snail's pace, and a myriad of other interrelated issues, please help :'-(

    Hello, my MBP is running very slowly, MS Office for Mac constantly freezing, Safari constantly freezing, various little issues are arising with many different functions/programs when I try to use them; i.e., the enter key will just stop working in Excel or my Adobe Acrobat will shut itself down out of nowhere, Finder freezes and/or won't relaunch; these are just a few examples, but the overall theme is that I am experiencing problems in usability and functionality with my MBP across the board. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it, and all programs and apps seem to be affected. I first began noticing the problems upon installation of the Yosemite upgrade so initially thought that was the issue, but I have since found that malware items have added themselves to my Safari extensions. I found instructions to remove them entirely, but could not find them anywhere on my computer other than the Safari extensions when I followed the steps provided. I tried clicking "uninstall", but had no luck, which is not surprising since I am pretty sure the "uninstall" option listed with the extension is just part of the malware. I have "disabled" the extensions, but that didn't do anything. I'm sure that they have implanted themselves elsewhere and are lurking in the shadows of my operating system and wreaking havoc throughout my computer.
    The whole situation is making it extremely difficult to get anything done, and if I don't fix it soon it is going to be the major contributing factor to my complete mental collapse.
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    I tried to find suggestions in other areas of the Apple Support Community, and found the EtreCheck tool in one of the discussion threads. I ran the report on my system, and it looks like my MPB is riddled with problems. I don't even know where to begin in order to correct them. I am not sure if the malware has just taken over and is behind all of these, or if I am dealing with several different sources of trouble.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated, the EtreCheck report is as follows:
    Problem description:
    MBP usability decreased significantly after installing Yosemite. Computer constantly freezing and completing any task in any program/using any function of MBP takes 5-10x as long as it used to.

    The minimum requirement is 2GB, but most people think 4GB is the bare minimum.
    I primarily buy from Crucial, Other World Computing, or MemoryTen. As long as they have a "configurator" where you pick you exact Mac from a list and it lists all the compatible memory for that Mac, AND it has a lifetime warranty on the RAM, it should be ok.  Macs are very picky about the RAM because they use it to its full capacity. If there are any faults in the modules, it will crash.
    There are suggestions for sites in other parts of the world on the EveryMac website. Look down in the Section for RAM where you'll find links to their sponsors (OWC is the US-based one).
    In Apple's world, there is a difference between and "Upgrade" and an "Update." Updates should generally be installed as they patch vulnerabilities and fix bugs.
    Upgrades on the other hand are an entirely new Operating System (OS). A change in the OS can cause many problems with your installed software as it may not be compatible with the changes. It may rely on programming interfaces that have been removed. They should know that they will be removed as Apple publishes those facts many years prior to removing the features.
    An Upgrade takes you to a major, new version of software whereas and Update just makes changes to the same major version of the software.
    Yosemite was an Upgrade, not an Update.
