New KM2M install and no video?

I just installed a new retail KM2M Combo-L board in an Antec case with a retail 2100+ processor. I'm using 256MB of Crucial PC133. When I try to power up all the fans work, the keyboard seems to work but no video at all. I've hooked up two monitors to it and no video on either. The HP monitor will flash a message on the screen to check video cable if you turn it on with cable not connected to computer. When I turn this motherboard on the monitor regesters that the cable is hooked up but that the computer is not "on". When turning on power sometimes I get a beep sometimes I don't. Sometimes the reset button works, sometimes it doesn't. Is this likely memory, processor, bad motherboard, short circuit? I can figure out how to test different sticks of memory but how to I check for the other stuff? What memory is recommended for this board? I know MSI say Kingston but apparently there is some contoversy about that.

I haven't hear that controversy about Kingston but I can tell that many of the problems posted in this forum involves Crucial memory. They are considered almost crap. Also you could be having problems with the power source, but to know more about, please give us a harware complete list includding Amps. P.S. gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. and its brand. 8)

New aluminum Macbook and S-Video

New aluminum Macbook and S-Video
It have come to the conclusion that the new MacBook's and MacBook Pro's can not output to S-video. I have tired the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI and then the Apple DVI to Video but no luck, the two do not connect as the Mini DisplayPort to DVI is missing 4 pin holes. I have tired Mini DisplayPort to VGA and then a VGA to s-video adapter but no luck, the MacBook did not even see a second display.
Is there any hope to achieve my goal? I need s-video out for work and will have to exchange the computer for a Black MacBook if the new computer can not output to s-video.
Any thoughts?

*Mini Review - PC to Video EZ*
_*It works!*_

I, and many others, have been looking for a way to output video (composite and s-video) from the NEW Macbooks and MacBook Pro's sporting the Mini DisplayPort since Apple as yet to release such adapter. I use my computer to output video (s-video) for digital slide shows and presentations. If our new aluminum MacBook could not meet this requirement back to the store it would go.
While searching the web for a adapter, converter or whatever could help get video out of the new MacBook I quickly learned ($10 later) that a simple VGA to s-video cable would not work.

*NO GOOD!*
I soon came across the PC to Video EZ. It is sold at several online retailers but I finaly decided to buy it from NewEgg.com (links at bottom of post). NewEgg is retailer I knew I could trust and get fast shipping from. I ordered the converter box on Friday and it arrived today (Monday) with standard shipping!
Bottom line, the PC to Video EZ from GrandTec outputs video (both composite and s-video) at equal quality to Apple's own video adapters used on previous (pre-DisplayPort) computers. I, owning a MacBook Pro with DVI to video adapter, could not tell the difference.
The device itself is small. It is nothing you would complain about carrying around and it gets the job done.

*PC to Video EZ with new Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter (still a required purchase)*
The back of the unit has two VGA ports, one in and one out. You can use the VGA out port as a pass through so you can still have your computer connected to a VGA monitor while outputting to video. A feature I will never use but it is still nice to have, especially for desktops.
Also on the back is the video ("yellow" composite) and s-video out.

*Back with end of Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter*
On the right side of the unit you will find a place to plug in the power adapter. Good news, its powered by USB. Bad news, the thing needs to be powered at all... More bad news, the unit does not use a standard USB cable. You better not loose the one that comes in the box! At least there are no power bricks to lug around and a simple USB to wall power adapter (like the one used with iPod or the iPhone) should also power the device. My testing showed that power is required.

*Power in. Why no USB A to USB B?*
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2980309856563935f1c3o.jpg!
*USB power cable*
The unit comes with every cable you would need which is a huge plus! Included in the box is a short VGA cable (3 feet, which is perfect), a s-video cable and a composite video cable.

*Included cables. All you need to buy is the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.*
Although not as neat as an Apple Mini DisplayPort to video adapter would be it does get the job done.

My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro and I had a new one installed and they were unable to get my pictures off of it. Is there anyone who could help? I'm going to lose all my memories of my kids! I got my old hard drive

My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro so i had a new one installed and they couldn't get my pictures off. I dont want to lose all my memories! They gave me back my old hard drive. Is there anyone that could help me?

I think how you understand the value of having backups. All you can do is:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
You will need an external enclosure for the old drive so you can connect it to the computer in order to try the recovery software before you buy it. But if they don't work then you will need to send the drive to a recovery service such as Drive Savers.

New Infinity install and Philips Smart TV

Any ideas on how to resolve my connection issue. I have a Philips smart TV which until I had Infinity and the new HH3 installed on Thurs(7th Feb.) connected without any issues with my previous supplier's BB (Sky). Tv is connected and finding net ok but cant/wont connect to Smart Tv. I've enabled Port clamping as advised in other posts but still no joy. Any other suggestions appreciated. I pretty sure its not a TV issue as It worked no problems pre Infinity and TV is as up to date as you can get,Software update etc.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I have the same problem with a Philips 40pfl8605 and a home hub 3 (but not the infinity package). the tv connects to the router, either wirelessly or via ethernet, but will not load Net TV. I get an error message which says 'Philips server not found. Try again later).
Keith, I'm on my home network now but you're link wouldn't open a few minutes ago. I can't work out how to message you directly on this forum, but if you can send me the content of that link on the thread, i'd be grateful. I'm pretty sure this problem stems from the router as the Net TV has connected in the past, when I've had a netgear router. Philips have been useless and after running through standard checklists such as clearing the Net TV memory, reinstalling software (which is up-to-date) etc, simply advised to send the (3yr-old) tv for repair.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm confused
I took this to mean that your DID have an install disk.
By holding down the "C" key, you are booting to the install CD.
Alternatively, you can hold down the "option" key, to select which drive to which you want to boot.

TS1277 My computer has had new windows installed and now when I plug in my phone is does not recognize the device

My Computer has just had a new windows package installed and now my "Device is not recognized" when I plug it in?

Microsoft Office is a program you would need to reinstall again.
As for data backup if you baid 200.00 for a cruddy job for just picture backups and a reinstallation of Windows, thats pretty bad.
I would ask the technician where your data is. basically you want to ask if he backed up your User directory

New SSD installed and Performance Problems

Greetings all!
I just reinstalled my workstation with a new Intel X25-V SATA solid-state drive 40GB on which I installed only Win7 and CS5 and, with my i7980x processor and 24GB of ram, I was expecting some super crazy performance (my Windows Performance Number is 7,7 out of 7,9 possible) and... my Premiere Pro is now rendering painfully slow... Everything else is fine in the computer...
Real time viewing of the video, when not rendered, is impossible or extremely pixelized (it was just fine before with my HDD).
Any help is welcome!!
Thanks,
Etienne

SSDs make great OS/program drives, but they can be pretty weak for CS5, especially at the price/generation point of Intel's X25-V series. Regarding why are SSDs poor for CS5, it is an issue with slow performance in writing.
Put everything on your HD except "media cache DB" (CS5 projects, media, media cache, output, etc.) and you should be fine. BTW, you have a strong CPU and lots of RAM, so your hardware would be much better balanced if you were to use a total of 4 7200 RPM SATA drives: 2 in RAID 0 for projects and media; 2 in RAID 0 for media cache and render outputs. Check out the "hardware" forum for LOTs of hardware discussion.

Jim

What program to install and convert video formats...?

I am trying to find a program that will install on 10.3.9 and that can convert video formats (ie mpg and mp4 to wmv). Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. I did buy a newer Mac (PowerBook G4 with Leopard) but for now need to use my old Mac. I need to convert to WMV to use on my GoGear mp3 player, which is NOT Mac compatible, only Windows. How I miss my iPod Thanks again for any help.

Well ffmpeg should be included by default. It is the core of the VH engine, but it may have been updated since your version of VH. And you may not need it depending on the conversion you are trying to make. Which version of VH is it ?
So you are trying to convert the mpeg and mp4 files into wmv. Do you select the 320 pixels wide option ? Are the source movies 320 pixels wide ? or larger ?
What settings do you use in VH ? ie. Which tab do you select for converting to ? and what options do you select within it ?
Do you change the destination directory ?
If you open the mkv files in QuickTime, it may complain about missing codecs, click Cancel and it'll leave you with a blank window. Select "Show Movie Properties" under the Window menu, what is under "Format" for the Video Track ? Is there also an Audio Track ?
QuickTime shouln't complain about the movie, mpeg and mp4 should open and play just fine. If it does complain it's almost certain that the files are not the format they claim to be - the Show Movie Properties will sort this out.

New to Mac and to video editing...need some guidance, please

I've decided to make the switch and ordered a new 3Ghz 24" iMac. I chose a 1TB HD and 4G of RAM.
I want to do some photo and video editing (nothing professional, simply vacation photos and video). I'll be purchasing an HD camcorder later this year to replace my current one (non-HD). I currently have about 5000 photos and about 50 hours of unedited DV on DV tapes to begin to work with.
Any suggestions on the following would be much appreciated:
1. Back-up: Should I use a 1GB Time Capsule or a 1 GB GTECH drive with Time Machine? I should mention that I plan on purchasing a MB or MBP later this year. Can I use a GTech HD as a NAS-like drive for both the iMac and the notebook?
2. Should I partition the internal HD?
3. Should I use a 'scratch disk' for video editing? If so, any suggestions for a particular size or model?
4. Any suggestions for ease of transfer of my data from my PC (photos, iTunes library, mail, IE favorites, etc.)?
5. Anything else you would suggest for a new Mac user?
Thanks very much for the help!!!

Hi there.
First, a couple of websites to help you on your way (and Welcome to the Mac!)
http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
And also
http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/
Now, as for your questions, these are just IMHO:
Backup - get BOTH the capsule and a separate HD. If you can only get one, personally I would get the non-TB disk so that I can drag the video files that I want onto it. the Capsule might backup other stuff (and slowly compared to the straight drive; get a FW 800 drive if you can, if not then FW 400 at least). I also think you meant TB not GB! Just make sure the DISK is from a good vendor (Seagate, Hitachi or Western Digital).
Partition - Nope; wastes space; you need contiguous space from my experience. Only do that if you really need to run Windows via Boot Camp (not recommended to run Windows at all!)
Scratch disk is absolutely recommended. Get the largest size one you can afford and separate out this from your backup disk. (Worst case, use a bit of the scratch disk as your backup, but also keep the same work files on your main hard disk so you at least have a physical duplicate somewhere). Yup, hard disks are gonna add up!
The above websites have some tips on transferring content from PCs; generally you can just burn stuff onto DVD and import them onto the Mac. That's pretty straight forward.
Suggestions IMHO - forget the Mighty Mouse and get another quality two button mouse. Also consider a Kensington Trackball. Get AppleCare warranty for all your hardware (for peace of mind). Triple check that your camcorder will be supported by iMovie '08. It might not be by Final Cut but at least you can get the files from iMovie into Final Cut. But Final Cut does support quite a lot of them already.
Introduce 10 other Windows people to the Mac. (This is what we do).
Cheers!

New E17 install and Bling module buginess?

I just installed the e17-cvs packages per wiki last night-but I cannot get E to run with Bling module loaded...the DE will run fine with Bling, until I open a new window/app-whereat E17 freezes-and only a Crtl+alt+backspace will get me anything (back to entranced). This occurs something as simple as the Xterm console. as well as full Qt4 apps and Gtk apps.
In case it matters-this box also has KDEmod on the same Arch, Nvidia GTX260 with 180.22 drivers. E is at default 1st run config, minus load/unload Bling.
Any ideas on how to make E17 w/bling useable on my box? I've run E before, but not under arch-and remember some difficulty with Bling conflicting with another module which I had to unload-but I'm scratching my head as to what.

I'll check when I get back from work.
For now, it seems like there is some conflict between Bling and Dropshadows...as I can get Bling to run fairly stable once I deactivate Dropshadows (I also deleted the .E folder in /home for good measure)...I say fairly, as I occassionally do get either a crash of E, or there is often a deal of lag in Bling focusing/defocusing the current window.

TS1717 Error message appearsn 'This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes'. It tells me new version installed and then does nothing?

If I delete the current iTunes to reinstall latest version what happens to the music I have downloaded from my own cd collection, do I lose it as I haven't been able to back up my music?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?
