Editing with Mac Monitor and TV.

When I try to view a TV and monitor simultaneously for editing I do not always get a picture on the TV. Sometimes sound only. I use a Panasonic GS 400 connected between monitor and TV. In preferences I have set iMovie to playback through camera.
It appears if I am viewing clips in the Clip Viewer and stay in that mode, even when moving the curser the pictures are OK. If I now click on a clip in the Clips Pane the picture on the TV disappears.
To get it back if I click on preferences>playback icon and then come out of preferences the TV picture returns.
As a matter of interest I have tried different connecting cables and a Canon camcorder with no change.
Is their anyone that can Help Please!

Hi
Recognice this wagely.
Using two ways to connect to TV (one at a time)
• Canopus ADVC 300
• Sony TRV 900E
The Sony Camera keeps contact all the time but my Mac dislikes it when starting-up
(has to be de-connected)
The Canopus drops contact from time to time - toggling the Analog or Digital input switch
most often re-connects.
Not sure if there is a fix for this but You might try:
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
Yours Bengt W

    Hall Palm Desert,
    if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

  • MacBook Pro with external monitor and keyboard.

    Hello, everyone.
    I've tried to find the answer for this question but haven't found a clear answer with my Google search.
    My older Powerbook G4 will not allow me to work with an external monitor and keyboard with the screen in a closed position. I am about to purchase a new MacBook Pro and would like to be able to use it at home with a larger monitor and keyboard but with the lid closed and its built-in screen turned off. Can this be done ?
    How can a MacBook Pro be used (turned-on) with external monitor and keyboard while the lid is closed and the its screen is off ?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Joseph

    Hi Niel,
    I have the same problem with my MacBook and I followed the instructions you posted. My issue is that when the computer wakes up after clicking the buttons on the keyboard it then quickly goes back to sleep. I can't seem to keep it awake when the lid is closed. I've been searching for an answer without any luck. Any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thanks!
    P.S. After I finished posting this message I figured out my problem. While fiddling with my computer and monitor, I inadvertently disconnected the power. After reconnecting the power, I was able to wake my computer and keep it awake. A note to other people having this issue: the computer must be connected to a power outlet to run in closed mode.

    Hi Rakmana,
    This is most likely an issue with Apple's iOS Mail program's.
    I think you are opening your modified PDF in Apple built-in PDF Preview. Apple's code does not properly draw the comments, but if you look at the PDF in virtually any other PDF application that isn't just using Apple''s code, or on any desktop computer, you will see the comments you've added.

  • Using the GT70 with external monitor and lid closed

    I wasn't sure where to post this question.
    I have several laptops and use external monitors. I close the lid on the laptops and the display continues to work.
    On the GT70, the system shuts down. It won't allow me to use the external keyboard and mouse or display the session.
    Any suggestions if there is a configuration option to allow the GT70 to continue to function with external monitor and lid closed.

    Yup. This is a windows setting. You need to go into your control panel -> power options -> "Choose when the computer sleeps" and "Choose what closing the lid does"
    That should solve the problem. I currently have my GT70 hooked up to a 42" TV and I can close the lid and it stays on and the TV continues displaying as well. No problems. =]

  • Bootcamp setup with Mac OS and WinXP; now what to use Ghost to image

    We have successfully taken a Mac and setup bootcamp with Mac OS and Windows XP; however, we have another 50 Mac's to deploy. It was our thought we could use Ghost to image the initial system and deploy to all others. However, in our attempts Ghost is only seeing the Mac side.
    Has anyone does this? Is there a way to get it to pick it all up? or do we have to manually install all 50 Mac's?

    If you use SuperDuper and your target drive is larger than your HD, you can use a block clone which will include everything on your internal drive including XP.

    You seem to stop the while loop to run the following code, then the program ends. Are you running this using the "continuous run" button????
    You need one big while loop containing the acquisition, then you build up the history data in a shift register. Clicking "save" will save the data, but not stop the loop.
    Why did you place a time-control in the FOR loop??? This is just post-processing so it should just do it without any delays. I don't understand the logic in the FOR loop. You are appending arrays, but then you delete the first element at each iteraction constantly trimming data from the beginning of the appended array. Then you autoindex at the output tunnel heavily duplicating all data. Ths make s no sense!
    Can you explain how you want you data saved?

  • Problem with Mac Mini and LG Flatron monitor locked in 'power saviing mode'

    Hi I bought my Mac Mini in July 2009 and have being having more and more issues with my monitor. Form the beginging the monitor had issues after the mac went to sleep. I have tried setting the exact refresh rate to 60 using SwitchResX, but now I can't get the monitor to display anything is stuck in 'power saving mode' - I have tried everything shutting down the moitor the Mac, disconnection the adapter, nothing works. BTW the monitor is fine I am using my PC laptop and the monitor to write this cry ofr help right now. Its a LG Flatron L222WS and I am using a mini display port to VGA adaptor.
    I read somewhere that reverting to Mac OS 10.5.6 might do the trick - any other ideas?

    Try starting in Safe mode and see if you can get the monitor to work again. If it gives a useable screen in Safe mode, go into Displays preferences and set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 and restart normally.
    Hopefully that will get you back to where the monitor is working again with the mini.
    There should be no relationship between a monitor's sleep habits and whether refresh is exactly 60Hz or not, so I wouldn't mess with SRX anymore to try and correct that problem.

  • Monitor problems with Mac Pro and Leopard

    I can't turn energy saver off.I have two LCD monitors connected, one 19" Viewsonic VX924 and one 30" Dell3007WFPHC . I set energy saver:Put the display(s) to sleep when computer is inactive for Never.
    Yet I can turn the monitors off and back on later and it's put the Viewsonic to sleep ,but not the Dell.
    I then open the energy saver system preferences again and low and behold it's changed itself back to sleep at 26 minutes.Ghost in the machine?Why doesn't it put the Dell to sleep as well?????Why does it keep changing back to 26 minutes regardless of how many times I set it to never and lock it?
    I even tried just using the Viewsonic only and setting to never,I also trashed a pref file I thought was energy saver , still same behavior, this is a REALLY big hassle ,because I have to restart every time just to get this monitor back up.
    Any clues?
    Many thanks!

    Memphis,Tn.

    I think there are some powermanagement prefs in your account and in /Library but I also read of problems with ViewSonic VX back when the Mac Pro came out in 9/06.
    I would give the SMC button a good 'kick' and see if that helps.
    And when you restart, this is normal safe restart, or forced?
    SMC button, this is restart button on the inside of the mac?
    It's always a safe restart,the whole computer doesn't go down, it's just the viewsonic power light blinks on and off and there is not much I can do to get back up quickly, but restart. I have played with display settings and got it back before, but that's hit or miss and very time consuming.
    Thanks you so so much for your help and suggestions!

  • Trouble with Mac mini and samsung 5 series tv

    Hi there, have just bought a second hand mini and trying to hook it up to my samsung 5 serties tv!!! easy or so i thought!! iget the apple loading screen (grey one!) and then it goes blank and nothing else happens! has anyone got any suggestions? thanks in advance!

    If you look through the threads here you'll find that this sort of issue has come up quite often, both with TVs and even with some monitors. Typically the problem is that once the system has booted to the point that the screen changed from the grey one with Apple logo, it's loading the preferences previously set in MacOS. When that happens, if the system has display preferences set that the display itself can't work with, the screen will generally go blank, or show a very distorted or rolling image. If your mini had previously been used with a relatively high resolution or refresh rate setting which your TV can't cope with, it means you need to reset the mini's preferences to something more basic, at least to get you going.
    You can do this in a number of ways, but the easiest is probably to go ahead and connect the system to a computer monitor and boot it up, then set the display preferences to something very basic such as 800x600. If you don't have a computer monitor to connect to, then instead, boot the system into safe mode by holding the shift key down as the system boots. This should set it to a basic resolution the TV can manage. Open the display preference pane and set a 800x600 resolution.
    If that still doesn't help, boot again (to computer monitor or into safe mode) and in the Finder's Edit menu, use the Find command to search for all instances of 'windowserver' (no quotes) and drag all instances found (there should be 3 or 4) to the trash. These are the files that tell MacOS what settings to use for the display, so trashing them will prevent the system using previously settings. After that, reboot normally. With those files missing, the Mac will create new ones when it boots and loads MacOS, giving you a usable display at low resolution. You should be able to work from there to get the correct resolution set for your TV.
