I've got a monitor that freezes while the canvas plays. Suggestions?

No cracks please about editing indoors...
Not sure what's causing this. Have read through earlier posts. Still nothing, so here goes...
I'm running FCP 5.0.4 on the G5, now at 10.4.4. and just recently I've started to have my external monitor freeze on playback in the Canvas. When I stop the playback, the monitor unfreezes to give me a still frame where I stopped the playback. This doesn't happen on all timelines played back... just some.
I'm sure if it's a setting issue, but don't know where to start without causing more issues...
Any ideas? Thanks.

You need to tell us a little more about your setup. Are you generally working with DV with either a camera or deck or firewire interface between your computer and the video monitor?
If so, odds are that your sequence settings are not DV, or that the sequence is ntsc while your system is pal (or vice versa).

a project on iMovie 09 that Freezes(only the project) the viwer window blocked in gray ... .. After editing that took me a year I'm stuck .
All my finished projects that are in the Library infected with the same symptoms and it happens only after I went into the problematic project.
I tried to open a new project and everything works
...I also tried throwing Recent Files, in the past It solved the problem ,not this time ...
the problem is that this project will take me a long, long time to rebuild

This recently happened to me. I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
I deleted it.
Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work).

I tried to open Photoshop Elements 11. I got a message that components of the application are missing and that I needed to reinstall Photoshop Elements. I purchased the software by downloading it from Adobe so how can I reinstall it?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Does Apple make a monitor that looks like the iMac27, for dual monitor setup?

I'm thinking about buying an iMac, but I'm used to a multiple monitor setup. Does Apple make a monitor that looks like the iMac27, for dual monitor setup?

Are you using HDMI or an Apple Airplay Module to go to the TV Speakers?
If you are using an HDMI it's straight through output. The internal speakers are disabled.
If you are using an Airplay Module:
- Go on iTunes
- Locate the Airplay icon that has a TV with an up arrow icon much like your iPhone has for Bluetooth
- Click on that and Airplay to ModuleName

Is there an instrument that speaks out the note played?

I can't read or play music myself, and I need to help my son learn his notes. So I was wondering if there is an instrument that speaks out the note played?

Will this work for you?

When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post
Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

Looking for a monitor that will match the picture quality on my Macbook Pro.

Today i bought a 27" LED Monitor w/ 2560 X 1440 resolution. The specs on the box seemed to match that of a thunderbolt display yet when connected (via HDMI) the picture quality was significantly lower than that of my Macbook Pro (13.3" 2.9 Ghz July 2012). Im likely to return this monitor due to the poor quality. What i want to know is what kind of monitor is out there that will match the color and quality of my macbook pro. I am willing to lose monitor size in return for this quality but i dont want to spend $1,000 on a thunderbolt display (i spent $400 on this monitor). Any one out the with monitor knowledge to help me out in my purchasing decision?

For anyone out there with a similar problem, after a few days of researching the issue i've found a solution. The problem being that HDMI cables wont support resolution higher than 1080p (1920 x 1080) therefore using an HDMI connection, your monitor wont output to its full potential (that is ofcourse if it can support higher than 1920 x 1080). The solution is to use a DisplayPort connection. DisplayPort is the best connection for computer monitors because it can output higher resolutions than hdmi and in most cases DVI. Today it seems like everyone is using HDMI to connect everything and it has become the standard. In the case of TV/Cable HDMI is probably your best choice because it is more properly formatted for that type of display but if you want the best picture quality for computer monitors, i'd stick with a DisplayPort cable. For compatibility with your Macbook Pro/Air/iMac, you do need to buy a MiniDisplayPort to DisplayPort converter cable to make the connection.
Again this is just how to output a non-apple display to your apple computer. If you can afford them, the ThunderBolt and Apple Cinema displays are both great monitors that can output some really high quality picture as well.

Dvd player not working after Instaling OS X 10.8.4 Video freezes while audio keeps playing

After installing OS X 10.8.4 I tried to play a DVD and the video starts to freeze up while audio keeps playing. Video eventually stops completely while audio continues to play. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know how to fix this issue??

Try booting into the Safe Mode to see if the same problem occurs. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Anyone got a website that is selling the 5G Nano NOW???

I'm looking for a website that is selling the 5G at maybe a slight discount WITH FREE SHIPPING and no sales tax. Anyone found one yet? I'm wondering if the Apple stores have an exclusive sales period when a new item pops up in their store?

Apple doesn't usually allow discounting on their products. Amazon sometimes offers free shipping on some items. Sometimes Apple has free shipping deals but you will have to pay sales tax if Apple has any stores in your state.
Best of luck.

Video freezes in the Canvas

Has anyone encountered a problem like this -
When I open a clip from the timeline into the Canvas and hit play, the clip starts playing but after a few seconds the video freezes; however the playhead in the timeline continues moving normally and the audio continues playing normally.
I discovered that if I render all video the problem goes away, but as soon as I do any more editing (even simple things like the razor tool, that doesn't require rendering) the problem comes back. Goes away as soon as I render video again.
In all other respects, FCE seems to be working fine and I have completed projects to DVD without further hitches. But it sure is aggravating to have to render all the time just to watch my results in the Canvas.
I suspect someone's going to tell me to update QT, so here's the rundown on my system - FCE HD 3.0 on an iMac G5 with 2GB memory, 10.4.2 and QT 7.0. I have not installed the Apple Intermediate Codec 1.0.1 or the ProApps Update 2005-02. All my projects are NTSC 4:3 DV. If you recommend that I update any or all of this, which revs of which updates do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions / fixes.

Well, I did mean the Canvas, not the Viewer. I guess I should have said 'when I play a timeline clip' instead of 'when I open a clip.'
I almost never change the Canvas or Viewer window sizes and don't recall any elevator strips showing, but I'll check the window sizing, maybe I inadvertently bumped it.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Problem Monitoring on TV using the Canvas

I'm learning the process for monitoring a clip/sequence from the timeline/viewer/canvas on a CRT TV.
I captured from tape and was able to view on TV -- using either the Viewer or the Canvas. Then somewhere along the way -- probably when I did some color correction -- I was no longer able to get the clip/sequence to play on the TV using the Canvas; I was still able to do so via the Viewer.
I then noticed that a re-render was needed; I did so but still am only able to monitor through the Viewer, and not the Canvas.
Any tips for understanding what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

I'm in the process of trashing my preferences using the how-to from http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutexpress/ which takes me to "Final Cut Express 2: How to Delete the Preference Files" -- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690.
In this older doc, Step 9 says to, "Drag the file named "Final Cut Express POA Cache" to the Trash."
I'm running v3.5 and I don't have a file named "Final Cut Express POA Cache": I do have "Final Cut Express Prof Cache.fcpch.
Would you please guide me this last step so I don't create a different problem?
Thanks.

I am forced to shut down computer after a few minutes of use because of pixelation that freezes up the monitor. Possible solutions?

I am forced to shut down iMac g5 after a few minutes of use due to pixelation which freezes up monitor. Any thoughts on solutions?

You may have a problem with the video chip.
Here is how to tell...
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Bootup will be longer.
Wait awhile while you harddrive is being checked.
An article on how to boot into safe mode.

Runs OK in safe mode...
Running in Safe mode leaves out some video drivers. Which results in your machine not using advanced video hardware. As luck would have it, you can run the safe mode video drivers in normal mode.

Green screen and video freezing while maximizing videos playing in iTunes?

After a year-and-a-half of seamless operation, iTunes started malfunctioning yesterday. When trying to play a video (either a TV show or a music video), the video will often freeze when I hit command-F to maximize. The audio keeps playing just fine. Sometimes I'm able to get the video running again by hitting escape and command-F a few times, and by hitting space bar repeatedly to pause and unpause. Before starting to work, iTunes displays a green screen for a half-second.
My system is at 10.5.8 and my iTunes is fully updated. My computer is an aluminum-unibody MacBook Pro 15".
I have tried turning the computer off for a while, reinstalling iTunes, and switching from discrete graphics to integrated graphics, all without any improvement. I doesn't happen every time I play a video or a TV show, but it does happen a majority of the time, and it often takes 10-20 seconds of fiddling to get the video to play.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.

I've been having the same problem as you Mitlov. This is one of the reasons I always get a bit leery about updating my current version of iTunes, iPhone, or iPod. Something always stops working amongst one or more of them. Two years ago I updated iPod and I remember it took a month before I could get the iPod to work again. If you hear about a fix for this problem (besides just buying Snow Leopard) please post it back in the discussions. There are a lot of people who will benefit from it!

Possibility of Apple TV playing one Itunes Library while the computer plays a different library at the same time (Mac)

The Apple TV is for my son's room to watch his videos, listen to music, etc. off his iTunes library I made for him on my Mac. I want to be able to listen to my own library at the same time he has his. Apple TV only recognizes the current library open; unless I'm doing something wrong or the stars haven't aligned for me yet, is there a way to do this? I can't run two iTunes at the same time (wish I could).
*Note- to teach my son about computers, I bought an old green iMac which will be for his learning venture. The iMac however does not have wifi (at least not yet). Perhaps something for you Mac professionals can use to help me whip up a good setup, unfortunately the iMac is slow, not enough HD space, so I don't have the funds right now to open it up and do what can be done. (If this helps)

Hi All,
Same issue here. Just upgraded (?) from the previous version of Apple TV, to the new Apple TV2. Like others here, my main problems seem to be with unreliable streaming from iTunes 10 on my PowerMac (Quad G5, Leopard OSX).
My original AppleTV had no issues w/the wireless network, or synching w/my PowerMac.
The network connection from the ATV2 are fine, and have no issues accessing the Apple Store (for movies, TV shows), or accessing Netflix. The access to the internet from my ATV2 is quite robust.
My problems are with keeping a constant, reliable wireless connection to my PowerMac, via an Airport Extreme wireless router.
I have tried multiple restarts, reboots, reset ATV2 to original settings, tried different wireless channels on the Airport Extreme, verified I have Home Sharing properly enabled in iTunes,etc, but no luck so far.
What I'm seeing is when I access my iTunes on my computer, I can see my library, and then if I start to "shuffle songs" I may get 1 to 3 songs to play fine, but then the music stops, and I can no longer access the music/movies/etc in iTunes any longer. When I then go to my PowerMac, it has lost most bars of signal strength on the wireless network (although all other devices show strong signal strength), and I have to Turn AirPort Off, then Turn AirPort On and I then am reconnected to the wireless network with good signal.
I then go back to the ATV2, connect to my iTunes, start my music, and then 1-2 songs later it again stops playing, and I go through this all over again.
It seems as though there is something on the wireless network between the ATV2 and my PowerMac that causes it to lose connection, and I have to manually start again. The problem is that the connection is not robust, and only lasts a few minutes.
Hope this gets solved soon.
Regards
Tom
