Heat fan and video problem

Recently my MacBook has been running hot (80C) and the fan running at 6200rpm. I think this must be related to video (especially flash) getting very choppy and then unwatchable. I have checked the activity monitor and the are no process running over 20% (the highest being Firefox). Is this a hardware issue or is there something I can do to stop the processor running hot?
Many thanks.

If you're having Flash troubles, here's some suggestions:
1) Upgrade your version of Flash--or go back to an older one, if you have the latest. Make sure you uninstall the current version before installing another
2) Try another browser
3) Update your version of the Shockwave plugin.
As JoeyR said, Flash just doesn't play nice on OS X. Your fan is going to rev up, and the temperature will probably increase as well. There's nothing you can do about it.
Which MacBook do you have--when did you buy it?

Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

What are the attributes of your PVR video...
specifically, is it variable frame rate?

Photo and video problem

Hi first post, just got a Z1 and loving it but I am having trouble viewing photos and videos. When taking a photo it shows it has taken on the camera screen but when you view in the album it is a black picture with a mountain on it.
Also when I take any video it shows the play symbol on the album page but when you press play it says "cannot play video" what am I doing wrong?
I wanted this phone for the good camera but at the minute i have to still use my xperia S. I need help as I am going on holiday and wanted the Z1.
Thanks
Stu

I was just looking to see if there was any problems and came across this which sounds like the same problem, or am I wrong, sorry but I'm not that technically minded on these things.
I also saw there was a new update (kit kat 4.4.4) but it says my phone is up to date, do you have to wait until Sony sends it out?

N8 picture and video problems.

I recently bought a N8. Had problems with the phone freezing and restarting on its but after doing a software update, it seems to be working fine. Now my problem is that I cannot view the pictures and videos that are pre-installed on the phone. When I click on the photo icon on the home screen, it takes me to the photos and shows me a brocken thumb nail. Can anyone pleasehelp me with this. Pleas please please.

has anyone else had this problem? I use t-mobile and i believe i have the texting problem when i text people on verizon. I've used other phones using the same sim card and never had any of these problems texting people on verizon. does that mean its a hardware problem? It doesn't seem like anyone else is having these problems.

SCCM 2012 Client and Workstation Audio and Video Problems

SCCM 2012 SP1 environment.
We have pushed out the SCCM Client successfully to our systems - however we have found that on some computers the SCCM Client is causing an audio/video problem - specifically it appears to be with computers that connect monitors via DVI. As an example,
on my laptop (Dell e6420, Win7 x64) I have a docking station that connects my laptop to 2 external monitors. With the SCCM Client installed I cannot listen to music or watch videos - the result is an unusable choppiness/stuttering listening to music
and with a video the audio and video get out of sync. As well, my mouse no longer functions smoothly - it jumps around. This happens whether accessing content from a website or simply a local file on my computer. If I uninstall the SCCM client,
the issue goes away entirely. I have tried disabling the SMS and Remote control services but doing so does not resolve the issue, only a client uninstall. Note that this only happens when the laptop is on the docking station - with DVI - it doesn't
happen when the laptop is running without an external monitor or if plugged into an HDMI output device.
At first we believed this was limited to this model of laptop in our environment (Win8 or Win7 - both result in the same problem), but now we are hearing about "audio and video issues" on Dell 990 workstations as well. I believe these stations
have DVI connected monitors. Driver updates do not appear to resolve the issue.
Has anyone experienced this in their environment? Note that this happens on imaged workstations and workstations installed from a vanilla Windows 7 or 8 CD.

Try installing the client without Silverlight and see if it helps (this is only used for the Application Catalog).

Skype V. 7.6 (409) Mac audio and video problems

I am getting inconsistent problems with audio and video. Here are the problems when calling three different contacts.
1. Audio to Audio worked fine with my first contact, but trying to add video crashed the audio. This happened when I tried to add video, and also when the other person tried to add video. These same problems persisted regardless of who called whom. In the end, we had a good audio to audio conversation and were also able to send messages and share files without problems.
2. My audio and video were received by the second contact, but I could not receive audio or video from them. These same problems persisted regardless of who called whom. In the end, I used audio and video while the other person typed messages in response.
3. My audio and video were received by the third contact, and I could receive their video, but they could not hear my audio. These same problems persisted regardless of who called whom. We didn't bother trying to continue our conversation.
So, I checked all my settings to ensure audio and video were properly set up. Also, I made a successful skype test call. It is very puzzling to me since the results were inconsistent with each of these contacts. If the same problem existed at my end, then I could expect a hardware or driver issue on my computer, but sometimes the other person had the problem, I think. Can anyone help? Cheers

Lueh, try the steps outlined in the KB below. Looks like there is an issue with the full text index that can be resolved by removing/rebuilding.

Ichat audio and video problem

my ichat audio and video don't work with any of my friends, no problems with a text chat, i'm using tiger and they all have leopard, all macs are up to date, i've tried messing around with the ports, firewall is off, internet sharing is off, i know a lot of people are having this problem, are there any answers to this that actually work, i'd appreciate any help

Hi Ben
Welcome to the  Discussion Pages
Presumably you mean this Linksys is set to Not Block Pings on the WAN port (Or whatever phrase your device has) ?
I also presume that you have done the Quicktime Setting that Steve mentions above ?
I presume the Linksys is the modem as well and it is doing UPnP ?
At this stage I have two suggestions.
1)
Shut down the computer and remove the Ethernet cable (modem or computer end does not matter) (Make sure it will not connect Wirelessly when restarted before hand)
Restart the computer
Restart iChat.
Reconnect the Internet
Log iChat in.
2) Try a reinstall of the COMBO version of the 10.5.2 update
Both of these suggestions have been used in previous iChat's when other things have not worked and the set up appears OK on the surface.
Also try
3) Rebooting the router and a Modem if separate.
4) In System Preferences > Network > Connection method > Advanced Button > DNS tab add the DNS servers of your ISP
DO them one at a time so you know which one works.

HP Envy dv6 sound and video problems

I bought my laptop just over a year ago. In the past two days, it's developed problems with both video (video loads but freezes, usually at .02 into the video), and with audio, which works fine for a few minutes after start-up, but then goes out. The problems occur whether the video or audio is in a browser or a dvd or a downloaded file. Further, the mute button is unresponsive at those times - when I hit it, it doesn't change (turn red for mute). I found one response in the forums but it was for a different Envy model (mine does not have a Beats button). I tried it anyway but it didn't work. Halp!

Hello unerenarde, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you have an issue with the audio and video on your notebook. That this occurs from multiple sources. I will try to assist you with this.
I would first recommend updating all drivers. To do this use the HP Support Assistant. This tool will check what drivers need to be updated and provide them to you.
After that, take a look at these documents:
No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7)
TV and DVD Video Playback is Choppy and Skips
The titles may not be exact to what your issue is, but the steps might be helpful.
If those fail to assist with the issue, please reply back with the Model and Product numbers for your notebook, as well as the currently installed operating system.
Let me know how this goes.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.

Sound and video problems?

ok here is the deal, i got all the latest drivers for my system.
i got the
MSI 875P NEO LSR mainboard
p4 3 ghz with HT
with 1024mb ram
160 gb s-ata
geforce fx 5600 XT/256 mb
soundblaster live 5.1 sound
when i play heavy games like HALO or Need for speed my sounds and video works not correct BUT it should not be a problem because my amd 1800+ with gforce ti 4200 did better
i think it's the mainboard but does ANYONE has an solution or the same problem?
o yeah my system reboots sometimes when i put new hardware on it (had it with my USB modem 4 ADSL)

This sounds like it is your PSU giving troubles. What wattage is your PSU, and what are the 3.3v, 5v and 12v ratings on the PSU? (You can find out this info on the sticker that is attached to the PSU)

Big Trouble! Manually manage music and videos problem

Alright, so I've just checked the Manually manage music and videos box. But now when I uncheck it, it says that all my existing content on the iphone will be replaced with the content on my iTunes library. The thing is, I just clean out my entire itunes library so if i uncheck it, all my music will be gone. Help please.

Why?! Where is your backup?
New empty library or did you clean out the existing one? If the latter then steps 1 & 4 aren't really necessary.
You should be able to:
Backup the device.
Transfer your purchases into your authorized library.
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup. This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Heat, Fan, and dimming display questions

I have a hot running MacBook Pro. I've had the unit returned for service and only one of my four issues was resolved. The unit is going back again for service.
I seemed to irritate the last tech support person by asking questions about the heat issues. Maybe some people here can help answer the question that changed his tone for the worse during the remainder of the support call.
Can you easily hear the fan(s) when they operate or do you have to put your ear real close to the laptop to hear the fan(s) operate?
I asked because I couldn't tell you what a fan sounds like on this machine. I'm on my second motherboard and I cannot feel any air flow from all those vents (or anywhere else for that matter) along the back of the laptop near the display hinge.
Has anyone found a correlation between a dimming display and heat? What happens is the display dims the equivelent of bringing down the brightness down three levels and after a few seconds it brightens back up.
The laptop is going in for a second repair for the following reason:
"Problem Description: Customer sensory issues - Temperature perception: CPU/Unit"
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello I just wanted to give you some insight on the screen dimming. If you have not unchecked the box at the bottom of the display pane is system prefs the display will dim when ever it scences a lower light situation. I have attached a picture. HERE
MBP 1.83ghz and iBook G3 700mhz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Heat, fans, and noise.

These are still issues with my iMac G5 I bought a little over a year ago. It is particularly noticeable when playing games, such as WarCraft or Call of Duty online. It is loud enough that it troubles me that it may damage my machine over time. When I quit a game, the fans get much quieter and the heat seems to go down too. The fans are not a problem most of the time, but launch a game and the fans rev up.
Note that I have a rev. 2 iMac G5, not the first revision that is supposed to be the one with the real problem.

"It is loud enough that it troubles me that it may damage my machine over time."
It won't, as it's designed to do just what it's doing. You might want to inspect inside the back and see if you have any dust or pet hair that needs reduction, which might lower the operating temperature and reduce the burden on the cooling system. Some find it building up in their iMacs, but many do not find anything when they look.
