Issues with Video and Sound

Hello all. I am having an issue with my MacBook Pro. This issue travelled from 10.4 to 10.5 to 10.6 with me. The install from 10.4 to 10.5 was a clean install. I messed around with the video card a long time ago back in 10.4 through a boot camp windows 7 partition trying to get a game to work. I don't remember for sure if the problem started right after that or not, but I'm thinking probably. Basically I was trying to reflash the video card to get a game to work in a beta version of windows 7.
My main issue is that videos are laggy and jump and freeze and such. This happens on anything from a YouTube video to Quicktime to VLC. Also, the sound will frequently freak out and become "robotic" and skip a lot as well. If I leave it alone and don't play anything with sound, it will return to normal after a random amount of time. Restarting also fixes the issue. This usually only happens when playing video, but every once in a while will happen in iTunes when just listening to music.
I guess I need to know if there is a way to "reset" the video card or graphics card or whatever. The audio too if need be.

Make sure you have the latest versions of VLC, Flip4Mac, Perian and Adobe Flash Player.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.

Mac mini having issues with video and sound

all of the sudden my mac is having issues playing video or sound. videos or songs will start but only play for a second or two before freezing. This happens with videos on my mac, Youtube, spotify... pretty much across the board!

Well, I'd open Font Book, it's included with OSX, & see what it says for Validate & Duplicates.
I would also like to add I am new to Apple computers and I'm doing my best to stay up to par with whats what and understanding!
No problem, we were all new to everything once, do let us know if you need more help or clatification.

N210-MD1GD3H/LP Issues with video and audio lag / stutter - can't find cause?

After much searching I'm now posting to a forum for the first time. #newbie
I have an 'old' PC (wait - don't ignore me yet...) and I thought that 'helping' it out with a low spec graphics card and a USB audio card would make everything nice for general web browsing and watching online content. The PC was bought second-hand (stay with me....!) with Windows 7 but I thought that the CPU was struggling as I was getting the video lag etc, so I re-installed XP SP3. Initially after install everything looked fine but a few days later and the troubles were back.
The issues I now have are very choppy / stutter / lag on watching things like YouTube and iplayer, and playing DVDs. At the moment there is no sound for the DVDs.
I don't know whether it is:
1. Video card / MOBO incompatibility.
2. Audio incompatibility (USB adapter vs video card vs onboard)
3. MOBO lacking power / processing speed.
4. another...
Any help would help. Thanks.

Windows XP SP3 (recent fresh install)

Multiple Issues With Video and Pictures

Ok trying to find out what happened with my Blackberry Curve. Friday night I was able to record videos, had pictures on my camera and ringtones. Saturday morning I woke up (phone was never plugged into a computer and still has not been) and the whenever I try to record a video I get the errror
"To record a video, insert formatted media card".
I am also getting the error when I try to press the "Voice Command" button on the side "Unable to allocate memory. Close other applications and try again"
And I also have been getting the error from time to time "A Media Card has been inserted that contains errors. To correct the errors, please use a disk error-checking utility on a computer.
The problem is I just have my regular Sim Card and never bought a media card. I have just the normal sim card in my phone. Any suggestions on what may be causing these errors.

And I forgot to mention, when I woke up Saturday, my pictures were gone, my ringtones were gone and the videos I did have were gone

Rented Movie Video and Sound out of sync

I love renting movies from ITunes , but there is this ongoing issue with video and sound syncronisation. I have Window 7 64bit with i7 processor and the latest version of Itunes. I have gone through the settings of altering the sound properties on Quicktime player and Windows to 16bit 44khz which had improved it alot.
But when watching a film half way through the sound appears to overtake the video. Would this be a setting on the latency currently set to 33.000ms and should increasing this cure the problem?
I'll try altering the settings on one more film , if that doesn't work then ITunes for me is history.

Does it behave the same way when you watch the video on your computer? What you observed is not that uncommon since some formats/recorders tend to loose sync between the video and audio.

If more than 12 tabs with youtube, video and sound start corrupted

If i open more than 12 tabs with youtube videos and let then open, on every new tab video and sound corrupted.
I'm using Firefox 9 x64 nightly and Flash 11 beta2 x64.

Hi,

Does this only happen with the nightly or can you reproduce this on other browsers as well?
Are videos playing on the other tabs?
To confirm what you are seeing:
12 youtube pages are open by the time you get to 12 or 13 the video and audio are corrupted?
Thanks

Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

TS3623 I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at top when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix?

I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.

I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

Intermittent issues with video output initialization

Hi Guys,
I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
3)Startup problems (fail to start)
4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
Some of the evidence (I have much more):

You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
"Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.

I purchased a N95 8 GB yesterday. I have been trying to get the video conversion to work with video manager
The conversion status tab do not go beyond 40% and it hungs there without any error message.

Any issues with PE7 and Windows 7?

Hi All,
I am considering purchasing a second computer. I have had great success with PE7 and Vista, But I can't get Vista on the new Alienware I want to buy. So, has anyone had any issues with PE7 and Windows 7? I have read many posts where there are issues with PE8 and Windows7.
Thanks, Stan

It's a toshiba laptop.
4 gig DDR3
core duo
320 hard drive - partitioned
I also use a dual screen - 22" lcd monitor
I don't use it a lot, since I have a desktop. I've noticed having a
dedicated video card makes a world of difference in editing. This might be
your problem; a dedicated high end video card is the way to go.
If I do simple compilations I don't have any problems. I usaully am making
a DVD of soccer games. If there is a lot of special effects I'll use my
desktop that has XP.

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

Lost video and sound

Was happily making a movie. I reviewed it and got a screen which was all pixelated. Made the mistake of saving at that point. Now, although my movie looks fine in the time line, when reviewing my movie, I get sound at the start, but no video. Sometimes I get no sound as well.
What happened? It looks ok in the time line, but even when I select a clip, I get to video in the video window.
Help!

OK, here's some more info on my iMovie dilemma.
When I preview my movie, I see no video, and only some of the sound clips/music work. I cannot trace it to a single sound track, however.
I tried to send the movie to my camera, and it worked perfectly (video and sound in the camera and video on the computer), until it reached a certain clip (actually a photo with the KB effect).
When I dig up the media file for that clip, it plays perfectly in QT. in iMovie, however, (during the camera export) all I get are pixels and basically the movie quits there. Although it moves across the timeline, nothing shows in the viewer and I get a blue screen on my camera.
After that, when I previewed the movie, I got nothing; just a bar moving across the timeline. Restart iMovie, and I get the same result I started this post with.
When I began the import to the camera, I got a notice about some clips needing to be rendered. Out of fear of messing things up more, I chose proceed only, vs render and proceed. Would choosing render and proceed fix it, I wonder . . .

An issue with authentication and authorization on ISE 1.2

Hi, I'm new to ISE.
I have an issue with authentication and authorization.
I have ISE 1.2 plus patch 6 installed on VMware.
I have built-in Windows XP supplicant and 2960 cisco switch with IOS c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE5.bin
On supplicant I use EAP(PEAP) with EAP-MSCHAP v2.
I created authentication and authorization rules with Active Directory as External Identity Source. Also I applied authorization profile with DACL.I login on Windows XP machine under different Active Directory accounts. Everything works fine (authentication, authorization ), but only for several hours. After several hours passed , authentication and authorization stop working . I can see that ISE trying authenticate and authorize users, but ISE always use only one account for authentication and authorization . Even if I login under different accounts ISE continue to use only one last account.
I traied to reboot switch and PC,but it didn’t help. Only rebooting of ISE helps. After ISE rebooting, authentication and authorization start to work properly for several hours.
I don’t understand is it a glitch or I misconfigured ISE or switch, supplicant?
What should I do to resolve this issue?

Yes. Tried that (several times) didn't work. 5 people in my office, all with vers. 6.0.1 couldn't access their gmail accounts. Kept getting error message that username and password invalid. Finally solved the issue by using Microsoft Exchange and "m.google.com" as server and domain and that the trick. Think there is an issue with imap.gmail.com and IOS 6.0.1. I'm sure the 5 of us suddently experiencing this issue aren't the only ones. Apple will figure it out. Thanks.
