Monitor(video) on emac blew up, need help with external monitor....

Hello everyone, I have an old Emac which the monitor popped and stopped working. I bought the plug and had an external older monitor working once, then I plugged in a newer monitor and now neither will work. The xternal monitor has a small blue rectangle bouncing around saying "please check pc display settings. I tried to reset the ram by restarting the Emac and holding down the command,option,p, and r buttons. This made the second restart sound, but the video still does not work. Is there another sequence to reset? Am I doomed now? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello again, yes it was the picture tube that went. the smell was awful. The machine still runs, but since I plugged the flat screen monitor into it, it will not display either monitor. It was working once with an older monitor, but now it just diplays "adjust pc display settings". I needs to view the emac so I can retrieve my files. I've also tried resetting the pram, but that did not work. What can I do? I'm stuck. Thx.

The VGA adapter is only 4" long, do you have an extension? If so, the computer should register the adapter and the images should be displayed. Any more details would help to see what's wrong.

Can't play xvid video files on my macbook-need help with this

I have tried everything, from Perian installation, to niceplayer, divx player, vlc player, divx and xvid codecs for QT....nothing seems to work, to allow me to play xvid video files....unless I buy a converting software and spend thousands of hours converting videos in order to watch them...which is something that I am not willing to do. Anybody has a solution to this?

have you tried the MPlayerX yet?

Siri, sounds, video, alarm not working. Need help with backing up my iPad so I can do a factory reset....need help doing that also.

Siri,sounds,alarm, videos not working. How do I back up my iPad and how do I do a factory reset?

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

Need Help with External Hard drives and too much music

I am not terribly tech-savvy, and I need your help. I have a G5 PPC dual processor with an internal 250GB drive. I have two seagate firewire/USB2 external hard drives. One is 250GB and one is 350GB. I want to know how to use them to get my Mac to run faster and better.
My original hard drive is 7GB shy of being full. Almost half of this is my itunes library which is over 100GB. The older (250GB) hard drive has about 150GB of photos/videos.
My Mac is running slow as molasses and when I power up the external hard drives it slows down to what I recall my original Mac Plus ran like.
I use the G5 primarily to work with photos, illustrations and creating the occasional DVD with video and photos. the apps I use most often are Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I always listen to music while work.
I hope all of this information is helpful! Here is my question:
What is the best way for me to set up and use these external hard drives to return my G5 to its original blazing (to me) fast speed?
PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I think you should look at adding two 500GB internal drives. I'd say Maxtor MaxLine Pro for cost, but they also run much warmer (43ºC even when nearly doing zilch) so I'd go with WD RE2 500GB for $40 ea. more.
dump whatever you don't need, trash anything that is hogging space and is just temp file or useless cache. Web browsers can leave behind a ton of small files eating up tens of MBs.
Use SuperDuper to backup/clone your drive.
Disk Warrior 4 to repair (after it gets to 15% free, or just forget for now).
A 250GB drive formats to 240GB and you have ~3% free it looks like.
For every data drive plan to have two backup drives.
Keep your boot drive to 40% used.
And your data drive to 60%.
Backups can go a little higher.
Drives are cheap and inexpensive, especially for the space and performance. And they have improved SATA over the years it has been out.
By doing a backup followed by erasing your drive, and then restoring it, using SuperDuper, which optimizes the organization, skips copying temp files that aren't needed, it also defragments your files. I would do backup daily to different sets that you "rotate." And before any OS update. And do the erase and restore probably every 2 months.
Make sure you keep one drive partition somewhere that is just your disk utility emergency boot drive that is not a copy of working system, used for doing repairs like running Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
You may need to repair; backup; even erase and restore your external drives. Rather than spend on vendor made case, just pick up a good FireWire case either with drive, or bare (and add your own). I think it'd add 500GB FW drive though.
Why?
To begin backup of your current drive. To leave your other FW drives "as is" for now.
Then install a new internal 500GB drive as well so you now have a good current backup, and you have moved your data off 250GB to 500GB. If anything happens, you have one off line FW backup.
Then begin to clean up, organize, and get your FW drives working. It sure sounds like they have had some directory or file problems.
You can find a lot of Firewire and SATA drive choices over at OWC:

Need help with external hard drive!

Hi all,
I have been having trouble with my external hard drive.
My mac is reading the disk however all my files from the hard drive are missing?
In disk utility is seems to show that there are files on the disk but I cannot see them?
At the bottom is shows that there are files on the disk!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Here is a screenshot of my disk utility

Ok just to clarify the format issue...
Just move the data from the external drive, format and then move it back if you want, as JiveMasterT explained.
If the external drive is FAT file system, then you don't need to format the drive unless you are planning on using the drive as an OSX backup.

Need Help with external display...

First, let me explain what is happening. I'm using an external 19" Gateway LCD display with my Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz. Via DVI-D input. Everthing from connection to correct resolution is working fine. But the moment I change the refresh rate from 75Hz to 60Hz, the monitor starts to jitter or seems to have a nervous condition. The problem corrects itself only after a restart but I can change from 60Hz to 75Hz with no problem.
Now, from my understanding refresh rate has no bearing on LCD monitors, is this correct? and why would the monitors manual say that the native refresh rate is 60Hz. So, I'm concerned if running the monitor at 75Hz will degrade or hurt it. And once again why does the monitor image shake when going from 75Hz to 60Hz but not vice versa.
Any and all response with your experience is greatly appreciated.
David

You shouldn't need to adjust the refresh rate on an LCD display. Just leave it at it's default.

Need help with external user authentication

Hello,
I need some help to set up an external user authentication in Oracle DB 10g. Using the documentation at
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/OsAuthentication.php
I added the user alex to my linux system and checked the parameter os_authent_prefix:
SQL> show parameter os_authent_prefix
NAME TYPE VALUE
os_authent_prefix string ops$
SQL>
I created the oracle user alex using
CREATE USER alex IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
as well as
CREATE USER ops$alex IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY;
The parameters in the sqlnet.ora are set to
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME, EZCONNECT)
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (ALL)
Being the local user alex on the linux server I can login:
$ sqlplus /
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Aug 30 08:56:26 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
SQL>
Now using a Windows Client:
C:\>sqlplus alex@<netservicename>
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Di Aug 30 10:31:37 2011
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Kennwort eingeben:
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
- So, what's wrong?
- Do I always have to create oracle users with the prefix "ops$" to the local username? How do these users login - with or without the prefix 'ops$'?
- I read that kerberos authentication is only available through oracle advanced security addon. What about authentication through ldap?

Obviously it doesn't work from any remote system.
For this to happen the parameter remote_os_authent would have been set to true.
Warning: this poses a security risk.
As far as I know you should have been logged in as alex on the client, and using sqlplus /
However, from 10g onwards Oracle comes with Oracle Wallet, which stores the password encrypted outside the database in a file, called wallet, and which is accessible from anywhere.
You would better use that.

Need Help with External DVD Drive on my iMac

Hi, This is my first post and I hope there is someone out there that can help me. My PC just died and I'm finally moving on and taking it where it belongs, the dumpster. Anyways, I've been using my Pioneer DVD burner in there and now I'm trying to use it on my Intel iMac. When I hooked it up using an external firewire case, this is what shows up in my profiler.
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D:
Firmware Revision: 1.41
Interconnect: FireWire
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW

Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes

Even though it is Apple supported, nothing mounts and it cannot burn anything in iTunes, Toast, etc. Can someone out there help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Need Help with External Storage

Hi,
I have a MAJOR problem that I can't for the life of me figure out. I just got a new macbook and am making the switch from PC's. All of my itunes music has been stored on an external linksys hard drive, and I want to keep it there, but share the files wirelessly on my macbook. When I try to set up my library in itunes by holding down the option key then navigating to the external drive, itunes tells me there is no itunes library there. ALL the MUSIC is there, as I can see it, but it seems as though it is just not set up as an itunes library file, so itunes won't let me access all the music, as it doesn;t see it as a "shared library".
So, um, any suggestions? HELP!

Welcome to AD!
So do I have this right, your PC's ITL file is on the exHD?
I have gotten my iMac to see my PC's ITL file wirelessly. The sharing of files between Mac and PC is often goofy and permissions not always correct. I'm sure it's some setting I don't know about. It kept giving me a message about library not getting saved due to lack of permissions.
But anyway. On my iMac, I plugged in the exHD I'd been using on my PC. In Mac finder I had to browse to the ITL file, right-click and Get Info. You need to tell the Mac to open it with iTunes. The default is a 'unix executable file' originally, as Mac doesn't know what to do with the ITL file extension.

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor with webcam problem.

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor I bought. Model VK278Q. The issue is that the webcam will not work properly. Various applications can see the webcam, but I just get a black box. From what I have read, the issue seems to be that there are no official drivers for the webcam.
I thought someone in this community might be able to offer some help before I return the monitor. I read somewhere that it may be possible to tweat the OS so that the iSight software will work for the monitor webcam.
Thx

NAVARRO360 wrote: ... there is no simple fix? ...
Eureka! You now understand the situation.
Even the old standard for Mac OS X drivers for non-compatible cams, macam, says that it has no driver for ASUS (20") monitor camera.
The macam status shows:
not working (no documentation)
With no working driver for the 20" ASUS, it is not surprising that there is none for the 27" either. There may be good reason that ASUS won't (or can't) offer either the technical documentation or a Mac driver for their monitor's inbuilt webcam. However, they apparently do not publish that information.
If ASUS Technical Support cannot provide the driver you need for OS X, the ASUS will continue to be a ridonculous (sic) monitor whose webcam will not work with your OS X Mac. The only other simple fix I can think of is to use the ASUS with a different PC that is compatible with this monitor and its inbuilt webcam. What you do is certainly your choice.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.

Need help connecting external monitor

My brother needs help with connecting an external monitor to his 20" iMac G5. He has the adapter with the standard monitor port, and when plugged in, the monitor duplicates the iMac screen. His question is, how can he set it so that the desktop is extended, instead of duplicated? I, myself, have a MacBook and two months ago I used my adapter to connect a projector, and I remember an option where I could choose between duplicate and extended desktop, and right now I tried to find it on my MacBook and well as my Intel iMac and I can't find the option, and neither can he.
Please help, thanks!

The iMac G5 can only mirror the internal display unless you hack the firmware.
Display options like that only appear when you connect a display which is why you can't see them on the MB at the moment.

Please I really need help with this video problem.

Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";

            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:
