My imac has sound but no picture?

My IMac has sound but no picture? I've tried everything but a hard restart. Anyone else know a solution? Oh by the way, my eight your old son was the last to use it but swears he didn't press anything.

Tv has sound but no picture

My hp tv model # PL5060N has sound but no picture tv is wall mounted

Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?
If the problem persists....
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Satellite L750D - Window Media Player has sound but no pictures

I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite L750D, Win 7 Home Permium. I don't know why Win Media player just has sound but no pictures. Please some one help fix this problem. I don't have a recovery dics. Where can I down load it? I would very much appeciate your help. Hien

Your issue is likely, but not necessarily a corrupted or missing codec since you haven't actually confirmed whether your problem is with just one disc or all discs nor if they ever worked on this system before.
Installing VLC is a good idea, but it's a considerate application and won't tamper or try to repair a busted codec and will more often avoids tampering or accidentally repairing any detected whether it's already working or likely broken like yours. That's one of the reasons VLc is so highly recommended such as they way it was repeatedly suggested to you.
A question to ask if your problem is being caused by a few discs, are they custom burned or commercially pressed boutique films since most mainstream DVD's use the same MPEG-2 codec for video and audio and failed video but working audio is usually a clue about a split format disc that has simpler audio streams but obscure video formats that can result in an issue just like yours.
In either case and if none of that is of interest, I can relate and suggest you keep any installed VLc's and download KLite because it is nothing but varying degrees of CODEC's including obscure ones and is fairly aggressive in detecting and seamlessly repairing corrupted codecs while offering more configuration options than most people want and more than many commercial video applications offer.
Visit http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm and choose the "Mega" or 64Bit package but 64bit systems can successfully backport the 32bit set if you feel its necessary to.
You can also potentially skip the KLite process by diagnosing your codecs with Nirsofts InstalledCodec tool, a single file executable no install / no reboot but I don't get the impression you're prepared to really do much at that level and that's fine but it might be needless effort in your case.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html
But something you definitely need to stop and wonder about is what happened to crush your codec since they don't normally suffer damage until some insidious piece of badware like your favorite iLivid and mine gets into your computer to raise holy hell forever. If that could possibly be what happened to you, the circumstances of how you managed to pick it up and anything else are things you can keep to yourself but consider it a spyware affliction and one I don't make lightly and is something I rarely suggest since it is the overused excuse at the Microsoft forums to blame everything on spyware instead of poorly written OS code.

Air has sound but no picture

I have a new iMac and apple tv. When trying to use airplay to mirror video using safari on my iMac to apple tv, alI get is sound but no picture. Can I get the picture??

VOB has sound but no picture (gulp!)

Hi
I have transferred a video tape to a DVD and it has come across as five .VOB files.
I can load the last four into Adobe Premiere Elements 7 but the first produces the message 'This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed'. This is trange as the other four work fine. I truied renaming the file to a .mpg file and the same message occurs. When I play the file in Windows media player it play with sound but no picture.
Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Rory,
Good luck with the pass-through on the videocam. That should work fine. The one hesitation that I have is that many mfgrs. omitted pass-through on their PAL models, as most of Europe have a higher VAT on a camera with it. Seems that legally it is declared as being another type of device, and the tariffs were higher. Many NTSC versions of the same camera did have that capability, but the same one for PAL-land did not. Now, many mfgrs. are just omitting it completely, to save $ with that circuitry, especially in light of the PAL tariff issues. Some have found that just picking up a used NTSC version has worked fine - they do not use it to shoot, but only as an A-D bridge with the pass-through. Hope that yours works perfectly, and that it will fill the bill.
As for the OZ whites, I have only encountered one, the Penfolds Yaterna, that did anything for me. In very general terms, I find the whites from NZ much more interesting. Now, I do find them to be great "sippers," but the herbaceousness and the grapefruit notes seem to get in the way with food. Still, a Cloudy Bay SB is such a great Summer wine (in AZ, USA, we need "Summer wines," about 9 mos. out of the year!). I love that grapefruit, though my wife is less a fan. She is also more enamored by a bigger French Chard, than almost any SB.
I had maintained many, many years ago, that NZ was going to be a PN center. That is being realized now. However, I do have to keep looking hard to find them. Some California restaurants are starting to explore them on their wine lists, but with some of the recently developing areas in CA doing some great PN's (Santa Barbara, Santa Rita, Central Coast and Napa/Sonoma in the Carneros AVA), it is a battle - lot of good PN's out there, as soon as one gets over the US$ 25-30/btl. range. I have yet to really see the value of PN's much below that price point. Probably some out there, but they are few and far between.
Here is an ongoing Shiraz THREAD in the Adobe Video Lounge. Here is an older THREAD on PN's from there. Here is a short Syrah THREAD. Some good discussions in the Lounge. In a similar tone, I am in a Photoshop/photography thread on Chowhound. It started with the question - what camera to do food photography. Along the way, one poster came out bashing Photoshop, and then went on to bash Photoshop Elements. I could not let THAT go on, so have been trying to stem the flow of mis-information being spewed in that thread. Now, I am not saying that Photoshop Elements is an end-all, be-all, or that it might not be too advanced for some, but when one basically says, "all I need to do is resize my images, and I recommend that no one buy PS, or PSE," I cannot sit still. Might not be the right programs for that poster, but such negative blanket statements will not go by without a challenge, at least from me. I know that the MOD's are probably watching me closely there, as PS is not really about A camera, though can be closely related to the product from A camera.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Steve G. will probably banish me to the Video Lounge for dragging this thread OT, but that happens to me all the time. At least they removed that dusty plastic plant in the corner - the one that they always make me sit in, until I promise to be good.

My hdmi connection has sound but no picture. The desk top icons do not show up either. What is the fix?

I have a MacBook Pro and I was watching TV through an HDMI cable when the picture went away but I still heard sound. At the desk top I see the backgroud selected but non of my icons are on the TV screen. Please help.

Hi Hartley000,
To troubleshoot your issue with using your TV as a secondary display with your Mac, check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. Start with checking the cables as well as resetting the SMC and PRAM to see if starts working again.

Trimmed Video has sound but no picture

I need to split a large video file in two. When I use the trim function and select the first half of the video, it works great. I get a file with just the first half of the video - great sound and picture. However, when I try and create a file containing just the second half of the video, I get sound put a scrambled picture. I've tried trimming as well as deleting the first half of the video and the end result is the same.
Any ideas of how to fix this?

Quick Time Sound but No Picture

I just installed the latest QT 7.5.5 for windows XP, but I can't play any video! It has sound but no picture. I cannot play any trailers from www.apple.com/trailers/. I tried to play a mp3 music, its fine. But I tried some videos, no picture just sound. It's doesn't matter what's the format of the video, all the same, just a green background.
Please Help!

Hi!
I have the same problem. I can hear the sound but see no MP4 video with Quick Time player (version 7.5.5).
I had the same problem with Windows Media Player 11 but now when I installed ffdshow Video Decoder that started to work. But it did not help Quicktime.
And selecting safe mode does not help, nor selecting legacy codecs, nor trying DirectX chekboxes on the advanced tab.
I could live with Windows Media Player but... My Adobe Photoshop and Britannica have been designed to use Quicktime player... Thus I need to get mp4 work with Quick Time.. 8-(
If it is of any help to understand the case, the list below shows what relevant items Windows Media Player understands being installed on my PC.

HT201335 Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

Using mirroring with my apple tv and everthing shows up on the tv untill i try to watch a movie, i get the sound but no picture. I checked and both are on the same wifi?

I had this problem also. Several times in fact. And it has not been any relation with sw update (Apple TV). I managed to fix this on a strange way. I drop off WiFi in iMac and joined back. Right after thatI tried to adjust Airplay settings, but I didn't manage. Reason was that my iMac didn't found any Airplay devices (?). After about 2-3 minutes iMac recognized my Apple TV. And also audio "posting" to Apple TV started to work.
So restart your WiFi connection on your iMac or MacBook Pro - it may help.
Another hint is to use command: "sudo killall coreaudiod". More information about that: http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~cquammen/wp/2011/02/18/resetting-audio-on-mac-os-x/
I have not tried this, but maybe next time

What is the driver version for your NVIDIA GeForce GT640?
There is a known issue specific to Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA GeForce. The Announcement at the top of this forum tells it all - detailed description of problem, references, fixes, and fix details.
The following is a copy paste of that Announcement....
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card
and you are experiencing Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your
first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card driver version instead of assuring that
it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and
unexplained workflow glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer
has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back
the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver
roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10.
Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for
the driver roll back can be found http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
Please refer to the following for the driver version history of your NVIDIA card

VideoDisplay playing flv with sound but no picture...

Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help with an annoying problem that
isn't making much sense to me.... I have an mxml component that is
based on an HBox, which houses a single Video Display control. In
the main application file I add this component which houses the
Video Display control to a canvas using addChild. What I then do is
I play different flv files by containing each flv file name in an
array, and then bind the next flv name to the source of the Video
Display control in order to play the correct video... so in other
words...

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable] private var _arrFLVs:Array = new Array("vid1.flv",
"vid2.flv", "vid3.flv");
[Bindable] private var _currentFLV:String;
[Bindable] private var _i:int;
public function init():void
_currentFLV = _arrFLVs[_i];
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:VideoDisplay width="398" height="282"
id="videoDisplay" autoPlay="true" source="flvs/{_currentFLV}" />

I have other functions which increment the _i variable. So
basically what happens is when the video has finished playing, an
event handler executes which is listening for the end of the video,
the event handler then executes another function which removes the
component with the video player from the canvas and adds a
different component to display a series of images, once the images
has finished cycling through what it needs to cycle through I
remove that image component and add the video component back onto
the canvas to display the next flv. This process repeats itself
once all videos has been shown and then starts over again. The
problem I'm experiencing is that every now and then when the video
is supposed to be played, it gets added successfully to the canvas
using addChild, the correct source gets assigned to the video
player, but i see no image when it starts playing. I hear sound,
but no picture. I know the correct source is being assigned to the
video player because I trace it before and while its playing the
video, aside from tracing the source, i hear the audio of the flv
currently playing so i know its the correct flv - only problem is
that there is no picture. The picture not displaying happens
randomly, so for example if the first 4 flv's have finished playing
the 5th won't show a picture although i hear the sound, then the
6th will work fine. When the entire process begins again, the 5th
will work fine, but the 6th and 7th flv won't. This is what totally
confuses me.
What I don't understand is if the correct source has been
assigned to the video display control and the correct flv starts
playing, why do i hear sound but no picture?
Could this be some sort of bug in the flash player? I'm using
Adobe Flash Player 9,0,28,0.
If anyone can provide me with some advice/opinions/idea to
give me some sort of clue that would be grand :).
Thanks for your time,
- Tony

I had this problem before. I found that if the VideoDisplay
component had not finished all inititialization functions before I
assigned the new flv, then I got sound with no video. Try listening
for creationComplete for your VideoDisplay component before you
assign the video source to see if that solves your problem.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converted FLV files have sound but no picture

Hi,
It would be great if anyone can help - I am using the latest trial version of Flash CS4. I have used the Media Encoder to convert mpg4 files to FLV however the resultant files play with sound but no picture - just a black screen. Is there a solution to this issue?

mostly this problem is caused by lacking of
some nessery codec. Which means when reencoding your video to flv, it can not generate the video.
Does Riva FLV encoder needs any extra codec? I am using Moyea Flash Video MX 6. It do not need any extra code. It needs in the former versions but in version 6 it can convert nearly any video format now.

My imac has sound but no picture?
