Help! Having problem with ichat/video

Hello
Last week i bought a macbook and love it. Yesterday i was playing around with the camera and using the video effects ( changing the way i could look). Then a blue screen flashed then it would happen again few min later. Today, it happend again, but then a minute later it froze and quit ichat by itself. Whats the problem? Its weird, its just a random blue flash ( the whole macbook screen doesnt flash just the camera box.
Heres what i do::: log onto to ichat, click on Video preview, then click on show video effetcs. So when im looking at the camera it flashes blue. then it would freeze then quit along with ichat.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

  • I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
    When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
    But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
    It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
    I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
    But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
    If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

    I'm having a similar issue.  When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render.  Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing.  I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it.  Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

  • I'm having problems with Flash Videos (Youtube and ESPN)

    I have been having this problem for the last couple of days now and it is really annoying. Whenever I watch a flash video like on youtube or espn my computer freezes up and the audio will make a loud buzzing sound. I have attached a video with the post so you can see what happens. I don't have problems with anything else except this. I also get this error no matter what browser I use. I have system restored my PC as far as I can go, and I've ran a ton of scans and driver update checks and nothing seems to work.

    merci a tous pour les nombreuses réponse. j'ai dû mal a les lire vue que je ne lit que le français. je vous remercié encore une fois amicalement. Blanchette 2.

  • Having Problem with stuttering video. Please help!

    I haven't had a problem with viewing video online with my laptop until a few days ago. Now, all it will do is start to play, then freeze, play for a few seconds, then freeze, etc. etc. If I am on Hulu and pause the video to allow it to buffer, it will go good for a few minutes then start the same thing over again. I have done the same thing on CBS.com, but the results haven't been as good as on Hulu. I have noticed that it is considerably worse when the commercials start. I tried uninstalling my Flashplayer several times to no avail, and I even uninstalled my Antivirus and reinstalled that thinking that might be the problem. Tried right clicking on the player when it's in use and disableing the hardware accelerator in the settings, but that didn't help. I am about ready to pull my hair out!
    OS is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    Using Mozilla FireFox version3.6.8 and Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18928
    Have Adobe Flashplayer version 10.1.53.64
    antivirus is Avast! Free version 5.0.594
    If there is any other info needed, let me know!

  • Having PROBLEM with playing videos on my 5800

    Hi all,
    I bought my nokia 5800 2 days ago, and i am havig a problem with my videos.
    When i try to play a video (MP4) SOMETIMES it plays it without a problem, but SOMETIMES it plays a black screen with sound. And the most strange thing is it can play a video and in few hours it will just play sound on the same video!!
    Please try to help..

    download and install this http://www.nokia.co.uk/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update/download and carefully read the instructions it gives you before the update.
     ...Or return the phone and replace it with something from another manufacturer that either A) works out of the box, or B) doesn't require such an awkward and painful update procedure. Nokia seem incapable of either.

  • Genius needs to help! problems with my video card and system

    Hey guys! I'm going to post my specs first so that you get a good idea of what I'm running on:
    MSI Neo2 LS 865PE.....MAT=Slow
    Pentium4 2.4C.....FSB=233=2.8C hyperthreading enabled ~>1.55V
    Corsair TwinX 1gig PC3700.....memory on "AUTO" in BIOS with timings at 3,4,4,8 ~> 2.7V
    Radeon 9700NP.....stock speeds ~>1.7V
    AlienX case with 2 fan400 watt power supply and 6 case fans
    Zalman Alum/Copper heatsink fan
    1:I've had this motherboard for a few months now. I upgraded my video card from a nVidia Ti4200(128meg) to a Radeon 9800 a month ago, but I couldn't get it working at 8X AGP, no matter what voltages I threw at it. I returned it for a Radeon 9700NP hoping that it would work, but it still won't.
    I'm using BIOS 1.9 and since there is no option to select your AGP speed, I could only try using ATI's drivers. Once booted into Windows, there is a slider you can move to select you AGP speed. On my machine It says that It has performed some tests and has concluded that AGP 4x is the best for my system....but my system supports AGP 8X!
    I've moved the slider over to 8x (which requires a reboot) at least 5 times with each card but the slider refuses to move past 4xAGP after the reboot.
    2: My second problem: I had an old stick of KingMax PC3200 and decided to buy 3 more sticks. Unfortunatly, the 3 I bought did not match the one I had, so I only put 2 of the new sticks I bought into my system. Immediatly, My system would crash, lock up, files were corrupt, and I got PLENTY of blue screens of death with a long message containing: 0x0000007  with all these other numbers and "0"s. I did a search online and found out I had a hardware incompatibility problem. I never got this with my old stick of ram.
    I returned the 3 sticks of Ram and replaced them with the Corsair. Put my new Radeon 9700 in, formatted my hard drive....and within 24 hours, my system locked up 3 times, rebooted itself 5 times, and gave me the same BSOD as mentioned above with the same long message.  
    I didn't change anything except for the memory and the video card. I've been wanting to overclock, (thats why i bought the faster memory   ) but I'm not sure what to do at this point.
         I have my FSB at 233 but I'm scared to go any higher because of previous system instability at stock speeds. My RAM was running on 400 and MAT=Turbo with the most relaxed timings at 3,4,4,8.
    I've given myself hours of sleepless nights formatting when my system wouldnt boot into windows; overclocking....etc. I NEED HELP. PLEASE. PLEASE. Anything could work at this point.  
         I'm trying to get more info on how to run my system at a 5:4 ratio, also.  
    If anyone has problems like me or knows what could be the problem with my system, please reply to this post, it would help me a lot. I've been trying to fix these problems for a few months now so anything is greatly appreciated.  

    Thanks a lot to you guys that responded. I brought my computer home this past holiday and I want to let you know where I stand as of now. I guess this thread is like my blog for my computer. I want to clear some things before my first post makes everyone confused.
    1- I have only 2 sticks of memory in my system: the Corsair PC3700 TwinX 512x2
    I returned the 3 KingMax I bought, and still keep my old stick just in case.
    2- I am using the 400 watt power supply that came with the case. I read some reviews of the case and I know the reviewer did not have problems with the power supply. In my BIOS, there are some voltages it is weak on. Lets say: it it should be 5.00+, my power supply will be feeding it 4.96v or something like that, but I dont know, or think, that is a major problem...
    3- My computer will refuse to boot if memory speeds are set at anything below 400. SO....if I want to use a 5:4 ratio and have to set my memory speeds to "333" in BIOS, my system refuses to boot.
    4- This morning, I did manage to overclock my FSB to 250. Specs are as follow:
    Memory Timing @3,4,4,8,4.....speed set at "AUTO".....MAT at "SLOW"
    MY 2.4C's FSB was raised to 250 = 3.0gig  
    AGP/PCI frequency: 67.xx/3x.xx (cant go any lower)
    CPU voltage: 1.5500
    Memory voltage: 2.75
    Video Card voltage: 1.7
         Everything was fine for the whole day until I heard something click in my computer around midnight, and then seconds later, my computer froze and made a continuous beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. (you can imagine)
         This "click" and system crash has been plaguing me for months now. I dont know whay it happens. I was just using AIM when I heard the click and my heart stopped.
    My memory speeds have been set to "AUTO" even at the FSB of 250. But I don't know if this still means my system is at a 1:1 ratio. I know the BIOS then adjusts the memory to work at 500 if my FSB is 250...so I assume it is?    I love 3gig, but somehow I feel that 2.8 is faster, since the FSB=233 running parallel to my memory, also at 233
    A FSB of 250 is good enough for me, that's what I've been waiting 6 months for. If anyone knows how to set other ratios to achieve a FSB of 250+, please let me know, but as I said, my memory won't boot if its set at "333"

  • Need some help - having problems with Dell Workstation BIOS not making all RAM usable

    Hi,
    I'm having problems upgrading the RAM in my T7400 workstation. I previously had 8 x 1 Gb modules and I'm now trying to use 8 x 2Gb (total 16 Gb). This fills up all 8 DIMM slots on the motherboard.
    The replacement RAM is of the correct type, PC2-5300F DDR2, CL5, EEC Fully Buffered (same type as I had before). Each stick is also the same manufacturer (HP Micron), size, rank, timings etc. The problem is the BIOS won't recognise more than 8Gb as usable (it does detect all 8 sticks as it lists out all of the modules).
    This is what I've tried so far:
    Tested each module independently in DIMM slot 1 and it's recognised fine. (And I know all of the slots work, since I previously had 8 x 1Gb working ok).
    I tried putting 8 Gb in DIMM slots 1-4, still only reporting 4 Gb usable (all modules detected).
    I ran memory tests, everything checked out fine.
    I reset the CMOS with the RTC jumper (suggested elsewhere on the forums).
    I could find no bios option to remap memory.
    Windows 7 Pro also shows 16Gb installed but only 8Gb usable (this is not an OS issue, since the BIOS is showing the same problem, before it even gets to loading Windows).
    I haven't tried flashing the BIOS but I doubt this is the issue. I've been through the changelog of each revision after mine and it doesn't mention anything about fixes to memory detection (Also similar reports of my issue said upgrading the BIOS made no difference). I'd rather not mess things up when everything else runs smoothly and I'm very much out of warranty.
    Of course, Dell won't help directly without trying to bill me for technical support.
    Can anyone please suggest anything else I can try?
    Thanks for reading.

    Dimms that show half of the ram are High Density 4 rank and not compatible. Any ole Joes crab shack ram doesn't work. Only Specific vendors ram works. Buying ram based on a cheap price almost guarantees that its high density.  High density modules have less ram chips on them and are therefore cheaper.
    DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Fully Buffered • ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 1024Meg x 72 •
    HIGH Density Ram WILL NOT WORK.

  • I am having problems with iChat after installing Lion, can anyone help?

    I installed Lion this week after I installed everything seemed to be working great. However, if I open iChat and then log in and log out it will not let me log back into iChat

    Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
    Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443(press return/enter(you might have to tick and untick SSL for 443 to stick)).
    Log back in again.

  • I am constantly having problems with watching video on line especially Youtube. I have played with the html5 and uninstalled flash player and reinstalled and tried all these other common solutions. My macbook pro is up to date.

    I highly doubt that I need to switch to Mountain lion or any of that because I had this issue with my last macbook several years ago. This is hapening all the time and tends to occur after updating my mac. This time, nothing will fix it and I know many others having the same issues. I bought a macbook pro specifically so I did not have these issues. I can't exactly promote my business with these issues and I am so mad because of this. I feel we shouldn't have to pay to have customer support solve an issue that apple should have corrected by now.

    I fixed the problem. Sorry apple for wondering if it was on your end.
    These are what helped me:

    Do you still have the tape? If you do, you could capture it with QuickTime to avoid getting such small clip fragments,

  • Having problem with online video, problem only in firefox

    I had an update to Firefox recently, and since then online videos (expect for some reason YouTube) are no longer working, so BBC iPlayer is not working, and other random ones you come across on various websites.
    I have updated Flash, and Firefox, even reset Firefox, but still they are not working.
    I get a "This content doesn't seem to be working" message, on iPlayer and similar on the other websites, its not iPlayer itself, as it works for me on IE.
    Dont know what is going on with my Firefox TBH, because some of my ad-ons have stopped working recently, and its to the point where I might as well be using IE.

    the plug in are not missing, they load, but the content itself does not play, just says that the content does not seem to be working, which is not the case in other browsers. Plugins are also update to date, I did mention that I updated flash, and nothing I can see which looks like it maybe causing a conflict.
    Add ons are not the problem, as the reset has uninstall those anyways, and half of them were not working before hand anyways.
    I have also done a system restore, which has not fixed it, as I have had an error with Office 2013.

    I think you're not able to run tomcat propery. What you can do is that if it is tomcat version of 4.x or so search a file named start tomcat and stop tomcat they may be in your dir where you have installed tomcat or in the start menu and then run it from there then you'll see on your console window, will be some messages and it'll pause after some time don't close this window ok then again send request
    http://localhost:8080/
    I hope it'll work
