Missing things in Video Prefs

I am missing several things in the video prefs. To start with all I could see was the web cam and the audio meter. I tried deleting the iChat plist files, and then after restarting the audio meter disappeared also. Also I see now is the webcam.
Any ideas?

Hi James,
You are saying yours does not look like this ?
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/iChatPicsFolder/3iChat%20Prefs/slides/5iChat-Prefs-Video.html
Are you getting there from iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section ?
Or are you just clicking on your own Video icon ?

  • IChat video prefs Canopus ADVC vs. iSight

    How can I get my iChat preferences to default to my iSight instead of my ADVC?
    I only use the ADVC for capturing video and it is not used for iChat. However every time I open iChat the video prefs default to my Canopus ADVC box.
    Thanks

    Hi Mark,
    Try this:
    Open iChat
    Select the correct cam
    Go to Users/(your Mac Account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.plist
    Restart iChat.
    This .plist holds the camera in use info and deleting it and restarting iChat should sort things out.
    Deleting this .plist also loses saved Status Messages and Bubble and Font settings for Text chats.

  • "Sync All Movies" option is missing from the Videos tab.

    Hi,
    I just imported 453 short movie clips (totaling around 1.8 GB) into iTunes and now I want to synchronize them to my iPhone. I noticed that the option to "Sync All Movies" as found in previous versions of iTunes or perhaps only enabled for other devices is missing from the Videos tab under my iPhone's sync options. Is Apple seriously suggesting that I have to manually check off 453 boxes in a list box that only displays 10 items vertically at a time? I'm at a loss for words.
    If there's any way I can have iTunes automatically do this, please let me know. Here's a screenshot of the feature in question, MIA for me:
    http://www.info.apple.com/images/kbase/304680/syncmovies.jpg
    Thanks.

    My mistake, apparently shift clicking one item selects them all. I was trying to do the Windows CTRL + A shortcut (which works in the Library view but not in the list box of Videos to sync).
    I guess that makes me a typical Windows user.

  • TS3274 Sound is missing from my videos.  How do I restore?

    The sound is missing from my videos.  How do I restore.  This does not seem to be part of the settings.

    Either what Klaus 1 suggested or turn off Full Screen mode if you are running Lion. You can toggle Full screen by holding down Command - Shift - F.
    If you are running Snow Leopard as your profile indictates (my mistake for not looking) then please disregard my post.

  • I am missing some basic video transitions that used to be there.

    I am missing some basic video transitions that used to be there.  Using Adobe Premier Pro CC 8.1, Caravan.  Update any time Creative Cloud prompts me to.
    Some third party transitions also are acting like I've never registered them, but it concerns me that video transitions that are native to Adobe Premier are missing.

    If you are on a mac look here Adobe Premiere Pro Help | New features summary
    to see transitions that are no longer there. Look for "deprecated video transitions" about two-thirds of the way down

  • I have 162 photos in the cloud but only 153 download to my phone. The missing photos are videos

    I have 162 photos in the cloud only 153 download to my phone. Missing photos are videos. Help!

    iCoud (photo stream) doesn't sync videos, it only syncs (streams) photos.  If you have an iCloud backup, that would include your videos and restoring the backup to your phone should recover them.

  • Lion to Snow Leopard missing audio during video chat

    Hello,
    After upgrading one of my MacBook Pros to Lion, I've been encountering a consistent problem when attempting to engage in a video chat with my parents who are using a MacBook that is still running Snow Leopard.
    Prior to the Lion upgrade, video chats worked flawlessly, but after the Lion upgrade, the audio coming from the Snow Leopard machine is completely gone. Video alone works fine in both directions, and the Snow Leopard client is receiving audio from the Lion client, but the Lion client is not receiving any audio from the Snow Leopard client according to the iChat connection doctor.
    Not a missing update/firmware issue-
    Both machines have all the latest OS updates applied.
    Not a hardware deficiency issue-
    Both machines were able to engage in flawless video chats using iChat prior to one machine being upgraded to Lion.
    Not a bandwidth issue-
    MacBook Pro (Lion) is hard wired to an ethernet connection which ties into a fiber optic connection 100Mbit/100Mbit (down/up).
    MacBook (Snow Leopard) is hard wired to an ethernet connection tied into a AT&T Uverse connection 24Mbit/3Mbit (down/up).
    As a troublshooting step, each machine was tested with iChat bandwidth limitation set to 500k, 1Mbit, and 2Mbit.
    Not a ports issue-
    As a troublshooting step, both machines were placed into each respective LAN/WAN DMZ.
    Not a firewall issue-
    Both machines are not running with a firewall enabled.
    Not a network configuration issue-
    Video chat continues to work flawlessly between Snow Leopard only clients from the same networks over the Internet (tested with additional Snow Leopard clients on my end that have yet to be upgraded to Lion).
    Not a microphone or sound configuration issue
    First thing checked, double checked, and checked again.
    After checking the connection doctor within iChat during one of the problematic video chats, it reveals that "audio quality" from the Snow Leopard client is always 0%.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Moreover, is there a solution?
    BTW, Facetime video calls between all clients work fine, but we all hate Facetime and prefer to continue using iChat.
    Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    SoundFLower is an Add-on to the System that then appears in the System Preferences > Sound pane as well as being an App.
    It allows the Mic (or input device) to be used by two apps at once.
    It can also take the output of one app and get in to another.
    Sound.
    IN certain versions of iChat and with certain Headsets you can have issues if the iChat is set "first" the the System Preferences are set Second.
    In both iChat and System Preferences > Sound > Input chose any other device/input other that the propsed headset.
    The chose the Headset's mic for the System Preferences
    Now set the mic for iChat
    Repeat for System Preferences > Sound > Output and the Headphone side.
    What is Arriving
    Whilst a chat is going on open the Connection Doctor (Video Menu)
    On the Stats tab/button you will get a live read out of Bitrate and Framerate and a visual representation of the incoming Video and Audio feed.
    Bit rate will vary based on what you pay for and what the Bandwidth Settings is. (you can change it "Live" during a  chat and see the Buffering change the rate slowly).
    The Framerate should be at least 15fps
    Intels can be higher whit 30fps being the top rate.
    The Visual bars should be green and 100%
    They may vary if your service varies to much.
    Buffering
    Any Internet service will vary.
    iChat has  buffering mechanism to cope with this
    Earlier versions of iChat were limited by the Quicktime Streaming setting that used to be in System Preferences (Up until Leopard).
    Now iChat and Messages can make use of All your bandwidth.
    The Buffering will drop frames in an effort to keep up if someone is sending more data than you can handle.
    There comes a point when it judges it will lose sense of the Audio due the number of dropped frames and it will cut the Audio.
    If the Audio bar is showing nothing then check the Bitrate.
    Let me know what you see.
    Comparisons with you other computer would be useful.

  • Found a Mac Pro in the trash, missing harddrive and video card. Can I fix?

    I believe this is a Mac Pro G5 (Aluminum casing). It is missing a harddrive and video card. I want to fix it. I plugged it in and turned it on and I see a red light coming from the front, not sure if that means its broken or just missing a videocard/harddrive.
    Is there a way I can tell if I will be able to fix this machine before buying parts? When i turn it on, it makes the OSX noise the same as when I turn my laptop on.
    THanks!

    Can you fix it? No, I think you should mail it to me
    The best way is to see if you can find a cheap video card - craigslist, ebay, borrow from someone else local to you (computer club or users group?)
    As for hard drives, since you can boot of an external firewire drive - you have lots of options.
    The video card is obviously your biggest issue. Since you apparently get the "Welcome to Mac" startup chime it doesn't sound like their is a major issue with it.
    Now, even if you get it working, what are you going to do with it? The G5 was good for it's day, but for the amount of electricity it consumes, it's not the best out there - the new Mini is probably faster than it and consumes a fraction of the power.
    Then again, you got it for free and can probably get a video card for under $100 - cheaper than a Mini and if you live in cold climate the extra heat it generates could be a net positive

  • After iOS 8.0.2 update, I have missing artwork in Videos app

    I have an iPad mini w/Retina, 128Gb model. I upgraded the iOS version to 8.0.2. Custom artwork created for certain movies is now missing from within the Videos App. I have taken a single video file and re-associated the .jpg image file to the movie from within iTunes 11.4. When I view the movie file in iTunes, the image displays correctly. When synced to my iPad mini, however, the movie has a generic grey image with the title displayed diagonally across the icon. The movie will play correctly, however. When in the Settings app under General/Usage/Manage Usage, I can see Videos thumbnail images displayed. When I click on Videos, all of my movies and their file sizes display to the right. Also, all of the artwork for the video files displays correctly when viewed here as small thumbnails.
    I also have a rather small capacity iPhone 4s that I have placed just 2 video files into. It too is running iOS 8.0.2. for iPhone. Both of the video files are also on my iPad mini. Both videos were created by me and added to my iTunes Library. Both have artwork that I downloaded and then associated to each of the video files. Of the two videos, one displays it's custom artwork while the other does not. Each file replicates it's behaviour on each of my devices.
    I have restored my iPad mini twice and have restored from backup both times. The problematic behaviour remains. I realize that my backup is probably corrupted with this problem as well and that the "Restore as new" option would most likely correct it. I don't want to have to re-enter all of the account, log in and password information for the up to 400 odd apps I have installed nor do I want to have to recreate all of my custom folders for grouping my apps.. This would take me a couple of days to sort out.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this situation without having to "Restore as new"? Should I just wait it out for iOS 8.1 and hope this bug is corrected in that release? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I have an iPhone 5C. 
    iOS 8.0 disabled my Wi-Fi. Actually not just disabled, it made my phone behave as it did not have W-Fi.  I could not re-enable it. 
    Restarting my phone or resetting network settings made me no difference.
    Solution:
    Power down iPhone for a few minutes
    Power-up and Wi-Fi is back again!
    After updating to the latest iOS 8.0.2 it disabled my Wi-Fi again. Following the power-down procedure above fixed it.

  • Missing sound between video clips

    I have been using PE10 for some while now. One thing that I have noticed is that when you put together clips there is a silent gap on the soundtrack which lasts about 3-4 frames. I use MTS files. When you add another clip to an existing one- if you go through the transition from one clip to the next frame by frame there is a short gap of 3/4 frames with no sound but still the picture. Currently I cut the next clip after I gone though it frame by frame until the first frame when the sound reappears. I them delete that small section and when the remaining clip automatically shifts and joins the previous clip I get an unbroken sound and picture transition. But I am curious as to why PE should introduce this silent gap in the first place. Any ideas?  
    cheers
    bill

    Thanks for the link. Is the solution to try using that tsMuxeR program or is there a better way of importing the clips into PE? Once I download the files/folders off the SD card from the camera I format the card ready for new recordings. So the only copies are on the main HD and backup external HD.
    When I use PE I use its "Get video from files and folders" option to find the files which are located in the Stream folder.

  • Missing 'Sharing' in System Prefs

    I recently upgraded to Leopard and I'm missing 'Sharing' in my System Preferences. I've searched, but haven't found any fixes. I ran 10.5.1 update, restarted and still not 'Sharing' in the prefs. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

    CutPoch,
    I had the same problem on one of my machines.
    I used Pacifist to extract the "Sharing Preferences Pane" from the Leopard disk.
    Then put the sharing preference pane in System/Library/Preference Panes
    Worked for me... If you have another computer running Leopard, you can just copy the pane and transfer it to the computer you are using.

  • Bluetooth button missing from iChat Video Conference window

    I normally use a bluetooth headset when in an iChat video conference. Tiger has a button on the bottom edge of the video screen to select or deselect the bluetooth headset. This button is missing in Leopard forcing you to go into the preferences panel and select the device there.
    Did I miss an option somewhere?
    Mike

    Hi,
    I have not heard of this in iChat 3.
    As no-one else has answered I would guess it is a feature many others are unaware of.

  • Missing Visuals in video clips (Adobe Premiere Elements 10)

    When I load up my video editting program (Adobe Premiere Elements 10) everything appears fine.
    It's only when i try to load a video into the program that things go buggy.
    The Video Clip appears on the timeline. The Audio works perfectly fine. However, the video, or image for that matter doesn't appear in the "viewing screen" (can't think of the right word
    If I add a video effect to the clip (for example, Auto Color) then the picture becomes visible.
    But, when I then render the clip, the picture disappears once again.
    I'm no expert with computers or programs so i am pretty lost on what's wrong.
    The last time I used the program (which was about a week before New Years Eve, 2013)  it was working perfectly fine. I've used the program for the past year with little to no problems, so I am baffelled as to why this has happened now.
    Any kind of help would be really appreseated
    I even still have the original disc I bought when i first installed the program, so if i need to uninstall then reinstall the program it will be eailly done..
    Thanks in advanse for you help

    Along with the Intel Graphics there is something called "NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M"
    nothing more then that.
    That is probably at the core of your problems, and we need to explore this. My take on this is that you have 2 things going on here.
    1. There is an epidematic of display problems targeted specifically at the Premiere Elements 10 user whose computer uses a NIVIDIA video card. (You have Premiere Elements 10 and one of your video cards is NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M.)
    Typically the drill is to have the version of the video card driver up to date. In this case, the fix is to roll back the driver version far enough not to have the display problem. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has not stepped forward to correct the situation.
    Check out the following link to see what you are up against regarding the NVIDIA side of things.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    2. On the other side of things, you have an integrated Intel Graphics card as well as the NVIDIA. There can be conflicts when two video cards/graphics cards are involved (independant of the NIVIDIA issue). Typically you see disabling of the integrated card, in your case the Intel Graphics. But, I am not sure where that would lead stability wise.
    You could look at both areas and see if you have displays gains for one or the other. I would look at rolling back the NVIDIA first.
    Please review, and then we can discuss this further.
    Thanks.
