"Herky-Jerky" video image when connected to "Buddy"

I have an iBook G4 and just bought a macally icecam. When I am connected to a buddy his image is smooth like a TV but mine is "herky jerky." I tried all I could but can't seem to smooth out the image. I greatly appreciate suggestions.
Thank you -
oldjoey and his grandkids.

Hi
Have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.
Restart iChat.

How do I fix the herky jerky video?

I am running a Dell Optiplex 320 with pentium D. 3.0 GHz, 2MB ram, with NVIDIA 512 MB video card. How do I fix the herky jerky video?

You have a slow internet connection to the server supplying the movie trailer or there is congestion in the path to the server. The signal strenght to your WiFi network has nothing to do with this.
It's as simple as that.

No video signal when connecting Blu Ray player

I have a new blu ray player and HDMI cable. It will play just fine when connected to little cheap TV but my large Toshiba will just show No video signal when I try to connect it and use it. I have tried everything, read the whole manual, searched online help, called the support phone number which just directed me back to the online support. Nothing has helped.
Also when using my old DVD player with the 3 component cables, I never get any color, just black and white picture.

The TV likely has a shared video input. You need to tell it in the settings whether you're using a composite or component device. If you have a composite device connected and the TV thinks it's a component device, it'll show up in black and white. What model number is your TV? I'll tell you change the setting once I know what TV you have.
Also, to what specific port is the new Blu-ray player connected?

Is the screen resolution for both devices (internal display and external monitor) set properly?
The laptop is a new Satellite Pro C70 64 bit with 6GB RAM, preconfigured with Windows 8.1
Resolution for laptop screen is 1600 x 900, but goes to 1289 x 768 when a normal monitor is connected.
I don't know what it is when the projector is connected because both screens are blank.

Jabber (Movi) 4.4 Mac - Black Image when connecting to Endpoint

I've noticed that on the Jabber 4.4 for Mac client, when I dial into an endpoint (I use C40, C20, and SX20), occasionally all I see on the client is a solid black image. The farend does see the person in front of the client. If you quit the client, and redial the endpoint, it will most likely connect correctly. I would say about 25% of the time, it requires multiple attempts until the client can display the video.
I verified that the endpoint was transmitting video. My search history in VCS shows the call conntected without issue.
Has anyone seen this?

Hi Patrick,
have you checked your antivirus? is it blocking something. try to disable the antivirus and check again..
collect the wireshark on the pc as well. it will give much clear idea.
thanks

Re: "Unsupported Video Signal" when connected to TV.

i have a toshiba regza, model 42rv530u. i am getting the same unsupported video when i try to play games or some videos. i have made sure my resolution is set with the tv but noticed my video card is not reconnizeing the tv , has it listed as unidentafied monitor. i had down loaded a driver for a older pc to this tv a few yrs back . the pc i'm hook up to now is new. can anyone point me to a down load for this tv . Thx

I think the problem is the RESOLUTION of the TV when used as a monitor. My first computer connected had the highest resolution of 1280x1024, 60Hz -- but the options I was able to get from the Toshiba TV were different.
Strangely enough, if I connect a normal 2nd monitor, I will get an image on the Toshiba TV and can use it as a computer monitor. But if I disconnect that 2nd monitor it goes back to saying: 'Unsupported video signal.'
I wish there was a way to set the pc/computer resolution for the Toshiba TV through it's menu...
Still can't get it to work by itself.

IPod Classic 160GB - Lost Of Music & Video Files When Connected To iTunes

I currently have the latest model of the Apple iPod Classic. It's been working great until I decided to connect it to my laptop, to use iTunes. I've done this so many times before without having any problems. Until recently that is.
My laptop and iTunes are able to read my iPod, but when it shows up on iTunes the music and video section disappears. Only 'Other' and 'Free' shows on the ipod's GB stats, with only 148 GB left to use. Before this happened, I had only 110 GB or so to use, maybe even less, since I had tons of music and video files stored. Also downloaded games, which also disappeared.
I thought iTunes was the problem, but when I disconnected my iPod, I searched through it manually, and found that all of music, videos, and games are gone, it's like I didn't put anything in it. The only thing that stayed, was the notes, other than that everything vanished. Is there a way to retrieve my old music, video, and game files back? I tried looking into the hidden files of the ipod itself, and went into 'ipod_control' then to music, but every single folder was empty, all 'F' folders.
I am deeply frustrated about this. I really hope there are solutions out there to help me, without having to re do everything.
Forgot to add, don't know if this will help but, when I connected the iPod to iTunes, there was a pop up message saying something like 'CheeziPuffs cannot be found or played on your iPod' I have never had this pop up message before when the ipod worked perfectly on iTunes.

I am having the same problem. Sometimes I get an error code and sometimes I don't. I tried to get apple to do something about it however mine is also out of warranty so no luck. I have read about a lot a people having syncing issues like this with their ipod classic and I am kind of amazed that apple is not willing to fix this issue. If I get it fixed or have any luck with apple I will post here. Good Luck.

Pixelated images when connected 3G

I've searched all over and seem to not be able to find a resolution for the issue I am having. It also seems I am the only person, I know with an iPhone, with this issue. Hopefully my issue can be resolved through the community.
When I am connected 3G and view images via apps, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., they appear to be pixelated and not clear. However, when I am connected via wifi, images are clear as day, non-pixelated.

Try viewing your images at a viewing % (percentage) of 100% (actual pixels), 50% or 25%.
Other viewing %'s will make images look pixelated.

Weird video corruption when connecting to 27" Display Port Cinema Display

I'm not sure whether this is a Mountain Lion issue, a hardware issue with the MacBook Pro retina, or a 27" LED cinema display issue (non-Thunderbolt). Last night, when I had brought my MBP-r home from work and connected it to my Cinema Display, the MBP didn't appear to wake up when I hit a key on the external keyboard (Apple's wired keyboard). I opened the lid of the MBP, and I saw this:
Disconnecting the externa display did not help, nor did putting the MBP to sleep and waking it up again. Eventually, I had to hold the power key down to shut it down. There are no directory or permission errors on the SSD. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
This isn't the first time I've seen this problem, but it's the first time that required a forced restart.

Thanks for your reply. I will explore your suggestions. I have a MacBook not a MacBook Pro. Does that affect your advice?
A 2007 MacBook also has mini-dvi so nothing is changed.
I have asked about the problem at the Apple store with a cinema display specialist.
Apple stores have "cinema display specialists"?
They don't know what the problem is and suggest I bring the MacBook in to be checked. They didn't identify any compatibility problem.
Which is why I question the words "cinema display specialists"!
We know that the display works fine because we are able to operate it with a MacBook Pro (2011). But any further suggestions welcome.
Those machines have mini-diplayport (or is it thunderbolt by 2011? -- doesn't matter). So no adapters necessary and you know your display works. But the video out ports are "apples and oranges" here (mini-displayport vs. mini-dvi). The object your "game" is how to connect (female) mini-dvi to to a (male) mini-displayport display (don't even think about the thunderbolt display).
I've given you all the ideas I could think of, except when it comes to finding adapters or converters of various "flavors", it's google, google, google.

DV Video lost when Connect add-in installed - HELP!

Hi,
We have this problem on hosted service Connect installation:
- video (from a mixer) is going through ADVC110 in DV to PC (Windows 7 64 bit)
- audio is going in audiocard in PC (because apparently we cannot use the audio in the DV stream???)
This is working ok
As soon as we need to use a PowerPoint the Adobe platform asks us to install the "Connect Add-in" or we will not have any audio it states
Having done this:
we lose the video from our ADVC 110....and the audio....
deinstalling the "Connect Add-in" gets us back to the beginning (video ok, audio ok), but then we cannot use a PPT Pod....
a) why can't we get audio from the DV stream
b) do we need the add-in
c) is still a know isssue
Please help us.
Tnx
Martin

Thanks again. I finally found the answer and it is working in Safari and Chrome
First I updated Flash Player to the latest version (not sure whether this was required)
Then I found that even though the add-in was installed that Connect was not using it, as all the browser tabs were still showing, and adjusting sound was crashing the program.
I deleted the add-in directory from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/connectaddin
I deleted the add-in directory from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/adobeconnectaddin
Then I restarted the meeting and created a new Pod and Selected 'Share my Screen'
This forced the add-in to download and install.
Adobe Connect now starts from the add-in and not the browser
Many thanks for your Help Sameer

Video error when connecting to appletest

Hi, I have ichat 3.1.8 on both of my computers, my eMac G4 and my iMac intel Core 2 Duo. My eMac has system 10.4.11 and my iMac has 10.4.10.
Neither of my computers can use iChat appleu3test01 for video because I get an error -8 communication error. I don't know anyone else to check out my video with appleu3test01 is the only one I have tried on iChat. It used to work with system 10.3.9.
Is this a system error or do I have the wrong iChat software? How can I correct this?
Thank you,
Martha

We would have to know a lot more about you changed on your Mac or the network you are on to say more.
Essentially there are not any changes in iChat from 10.4.9 to 10.4.11

Is there any risk to video cards when connecting TVs to iMacs via HDMI cables?

Just want to know the risks before I do any damage.

So I assume that if we buy our adapter from an Apple store, then it is the proper one? I have a Moshi adapter.

ISight - my video image is jerky

Hope someone can help.
1 to 1 video chat using iSight. I can connect with my friend also using iSight, and the audio is fine. The picture quality i receive from my friend is great, but the one he gets of me is very jerky. Even when i view my own image it still has a jerky picture (could be a very low fps rate, but not sure). This jerky picture only happens when i am online with him.
When i am offline, and test the image by opening up the application and clicking on the camera icon next to my name, i can see my image but its fine. No jerky picture and how it should be.
I've checking my actual upload speed which is about 224kbps, so should be okay to handle my video.
Running 10.4.4.
iSight firmware is 1.0.3.
iChat AV
Any hekp would be great as tearing my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is.
Thanks

Hi
My pal and I had the same problem my image was okay but his was jerky, to me and in his preview.
He was also on Skype. When he closed down the Skype the problem was cured.
It may be because you are using another facility that it taking up band width
Good luck

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek
