Laptop to HDTV Using HDMI and Quicktime

I'm trying to play a .MOV created by a GE DV1 camera using an HDMI connection from my PC (Dell) laptop to an HDTV.  It doesn't work.  Most of the time it does nothing, sometimes it operates jerkily for a while then quits.  Works fine on the PC monitor.

I have been having the same issues trying to connect my Laptop to my TV to use as a DVD player. A normal HDTV cable would not work. I went to Best buy, and found a HDMI cable that said "Laptop to HDMI cable" It was the only HDMI cable out of all of the HDMI that said "Laptop to HDMI". It was also twice the cost, $50.00 for a 10 foot cable. It seems a little to high in price so I am looking for a cheaper one on the web. If I find one, I will post to let you know.

  • QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

    I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
    ""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
    I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
    You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
    Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
    Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

    If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
    Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

  • How to print uspto patent images using Safari and Quicktime

    3/18/06
    Do you want to know how to print US patent images using Safari? Read on.
    When you access the "images" link of a specific patent on the www.uspto.gov/ website using Safari, the page you are viewing is only one small upper left tile of a huge patent image that is not sized to the screen. You can scroll and try to read the page but it's almost impossible. Try to print it out and you only print what's on the screen. Bummer.
    The fix:
    Place the cursor on the opened image (it may appear blank), hold down the CONTROL key on you keyboard and click on the image. Two instructions come up. Click on the "Save Image to the Desktop" instruction and a DImg.tiff file will be created on your desktop. Click on the .tiff file and it should open in the Preview program, then simply print out the image. Voila!!!!
    Click the yellow arrow in the left margin to access page 2 of the patent and repeat the previous instructions to create another .tiff file on your destop. Do every page and you'll have the patent available to print out one page at a time.
    You can then rename the files and create a folder for that specific patent so you can access it later without signing onto uspto site.
    It's odd that the ever compatible Apple does not provide seamless compatibility to view and print patent images on the US Patent and Trademark Office's website. Where would they be without protecting their own intellectal property? Let's hope the next version of Quicktime includes the appropriate ITU T.6 or CCITT Group 4 (G4) compression language.
    Even the "throw it out the Windows" operating system is up to speed on this issue for America's hard working inventors.
    Keep on inventing.

  • Screen Resolution Troubles After Using HDMI and Converter

    After using a StarTech HDMI converter to watch Netflix on my television, the resolution on my macbook pro is messed up. If I close Netflix the resolution returns, but after trying to use other programs like iPhoto and iMovie I ran into the same problem. As soon as I open those apps the resolution gets distorted and the screen is blurry. Like with Netflix, as soon as I close those apps the screen resolution returns to normal. Also every time I connect the converter and HDMI cord from my Macbook Pro to my television the resolution goes blurry, but the resolution is perfect on the television.

  • Can I Use HDMI and Thunderbolt Outputs At The Same Time? And Mac App Store Issues

    I have a Mid-2011 Mac Mini. I am currently using the HDMI output with an HDMI to Digital Input for a dell monitor. If I wanted to have a second monitor, can I use the Thunderbolt output with a MiniDisplayport to VGA adapter? I know it may sound a little unclear, so if you need a clarification, pelase let me know.
    Also, on the same macine, I am having trouble connecting to the Mac App Store. My internet connection is working, and I've tried going into the Keychain Access and there isn't anything with a blue plus. When I go to Store --> Sign In , the sign in widnow doesn't appear.
    Thanks
    Joey

    Yes, that is exactly how to use dual monitors.
    Optionally:
    if the second monitor has DVI input, use the MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.
    or if it has Display Port input, then all you need is a straight MiniDisplay Port to Display Port cable.
    In Quick Links try Account if Sign In does not work.

  • Can't play videos in MobileMe using IE7 and QuickTime 7.6.8

    I am running Windows XP SP3, and have installed QuickTime 7.6.8. When I try to view a video in MobileMe that was created by a relative, I get a message saying that I need to have QuickTime 7.2 installed, and the video will not play. In fact, I have QuickTime 7.6.8 installed, so I don't know why I am getting this error message. I have looked in Internet Explorer add-ons, and there are no add-ons listed from Apple under the "currently loaded" tab. The QTPlugin.ocx is listed in the "add-ons that have been used" tab. Oddly enough (or not), the same video plays fine in Firefox, and looking at the add-ons in Firefox, it does list the QuickTime Plugin 7.6.8 that IE7 does not list.
    Would really appreciate any help in resolving this! Thanks!

    I get a message saying that I need to have QuickTime 7.2 installed, and the video will not play. In fact, I have QuickTime 7.6.8 installed, so I don't know why I am getting this error message.
    Are you able to open the QuickTime Player, rick? If so, does it tell you your QuickTime is out of date too (even though you've got a 7.6.8 installed)?

  • Use HDMI and VGA monitors?

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro with the HDMI port, and 2 display ports.
    I currently have the HDMI port plugged into an HDMI monitor, and I'm using a display port with a VGA adaper, to go into a VGA monitor.
    However, I can only display one at a time. If the VGA is plugged into the display port, then the HDMI monitor does not work?
    Is my mac not compatible to run both at the same time? Or do I need to change a setting somewhere....
    Thanks!!

    You need a cable from the minidisplay (thunderbolt) port and another from the HDMI port, you can buy a mini to VGA adapter from the Apple store (then a regular VGA cable) and use a normal HDMI cable for the other.

  • My ipad is disabled and i never connected it before to a laptop i only used wifi and everytime time i try to connect it to the laptop it tells me to put the passcode and i cant even do it

    i had my ipad a while ago and the screen is damaged and i sent it to be replaced and when it got bk it gave the message ipad is disabled
    when i tried to connect it to itunes it gave me a message cannot read the ipad it has to be unlocked first and its not even allowing me to do that on the ipad itself

    You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset and resync your content to it.
    If you do it via a computer theat it hsan't been synced to (from here) :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Using HDMI and optical

    Can HDMI be connected to TV and optical connected to separate stereo reciever? I want to have music sent to different receiver/speakers than home theater setup

    I have a related question: same setup but I want to match the word length (bit depth) of the Atv optical output to the input of my DSP (Meridian 519). I can select the output word length as either 16bits or Auto, but my assumption is that the only feedback the Atv will get for auto is via HDMI, which is connected to the display... a separate device. Yes, I can select 16 on both, but I don't want to unnecessarily down sample the bit rate. OTOH, the display probably says 24bit is just fine.... provided the Atv can deliver that. Unfortunately, there is no auto detect on the Meridian. Just 16-24 in increments of 2.
    So:
    Can the Atv (v3) deliver a consistent 24 bit word via the optical output?
    IF not, what bit rate can it reliably deliver?
    What bit rate is the Sony display (current 4k model) likely to be asking for via HDMI?
    thanks!

  • Is this laptop suitible to use PS and Ind CS5 on?

    Going away traveling for 3 months and need an inexpensive laptop I can purchase in the UK today or tomorrow that can support CS5 on it.
    I'm thinking of buying this one:
    Buy TOSHIBA Satellite C50-B-14D 15.6" Laptop - Black | Free Delivery | Currys
    I have already checked it specifications next to the adobe system requirements and it seems to be alright, but just wanted to confirm, as I bought another PC (  http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=L0M36EA&opt=ABU&sel=PCNB )
    But it just didn't have enough disc space to download both PS and Ind!!
    This one obviously has much more memory and I'm prepared to downgrade on the screen and colour quality compared to my Macbook Pro.
    This is all new territory for me as I'm a Mac user!
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    It should work for doing simple stuff, but don't expect it to be particularly fast or convenient.

  • Toshiba doesn't recognise laptop or tablet when using HDMI

    I have a toshiba (Model#46G310U) and when try to connect a laptop or tablet using HDMI cable. It says no signal.
    But when i connect the laptop using VGA cable, it works. i want to know my Tv is compatible with tablet or laptop using HDMI cable or if i need to change some setting.

    Jolin:
    Were those scanned tiff image files you added the data to with exiftool? See if PhotoInfo can read the EXIF data in those files. If not then the fields are not the correct ones.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Installing iTunes and QuickTime on an HP laptop running Windows 7.

    I get error 2738 when:
              installing todays downloads or when
              uninstalling a preinstalled 2009 version of QuickTime.
    I have seen and successfully applied the solution offerred at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1331.
    Twice.
    Restarted the computer and applied that solution again, and again with the message indicating success.
    And each time get the error 2738 message.

    I also looked through the earlier messages and saw something about
    a logon as a simple user.
    Did this and then noticed the uninstaller in QuickTime folder.
    Used this and QuickTime uninstalled without error (2738 or anything else).
    Continued to be logged on as this simple user.
    Ran the iTunes installer (answering yes to security questions).
    Installed both iTunes and QuickTime without error.

  • No audio on TV when using HDMI

    Hello,
    I just bought the Satellite P875-S7200 and I connected it to my HDTV using HDMI. The problem is there is no sound coming out on the TV but there is sound on the laptop.
    I've checked the Playback Devices when you right-click the speaker icon from the taskbar and I don't see any HDMI option in there.
    How can you switch the audio out to the HDMI?
    Please help. Thank you very much.
