No Video Input Message

I just set up my MacBook and connected the DVI to DVI-I adaptor into my Philips 20" tv/monitor and even though the MacBook recognizes the display in the display settings, the tv/monitor continues to give me two different messages. Most of the time it says, "No Video Input" and then counts down from 15 to 0 seconds and shuts down. The other message says that the laptop needs to be at 600 x 800, 60HZ. I have verified that it is at that setting, but still nothing. Any suggestions?

I typed that wrong. Yes, I have a mini-DVI to DVI adaptor. My Philips has a DVI-I input but it is female. I had to connect a male DVI cord from the mini dvi cord into my DVI-I port on my Philips.
Apple doesn't make a DVI to DVI-I adaptor for the
MacBook. They make a Mini-DVI to DVI adaptor. It is
DVI-D only. Does your Philips have a DVI-I input?
Perhaps you need to go into it's menu settings and
specify that you are making a DVI-D connection.

I have a macbook 15 inch (retina display) and philips LCD which I'm trying to connect my laptop to.
I currently have a HDMI cable plugged in, but am constantly getting an error message "no video input" on the LCD tv.
I have checked the philips LCD to be in the HDMI mode and googled many threads but have
not found a solution to solve my problem. Would appreciate any help given!

I have had my computer in storage for two years Compac Presario just hooked it up and the screen message is no video input any ideas as to fix this problem

What is the model of your Compaq Pressario?
Check your cabling for any defects.
Remove your video card and replace it. You might want to do the same thing with the RAM

Question from XP user in market for iMac (Video input)

I would like to buy a Apple desktop for my home. I would like to know what my options are if I want to connect Surround Sound, HD DVD player, external hard drive, Xbox 360, and Digital Cable to the screen. I would like to know if that is possible, if it has inputs and things of that nature. Both my living room TV and Windows HP Desktop are outdated and I would like to knock out 2 birds with one stone, so to speak. Is it possible? And if so, which model(s).
Thank you, all comments would be GREATLY appreciated, I'm not very computer savvy. Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately no iMac offers any kind of video input out of the box. There are Firewire and USB2.0 video-input devices which are good value but probably won't offer the kind of spec/quality that you will want to input HD DVDs for example.
Here's an example (link). There are HD tuners available too.
BTW, Apple stopped selling iMac G5s back in January of 2006. The current iMacs are termed "Intel iMacs".
kind regards

Importing Canon 5D footage: No video input available

System: MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard), Production Premium CS5
When I import or open footage from my Canon 5D (1080 25p) within OnLocation CS5 I get the message "No video input available" below the clip monitor. However, the audio plays. Footage that I take with a Sony EX3 (1080 25p) plays correctly.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Andreas

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your answer.
Being able to add and merge metadata with 5D/7D clips is exactly how I use OnLocation; not for live recording or live logging. I typically have assignments where I shoot about 200-400 clips in a day or two, covering an event from multiple angles and in various shot sizes. I exclusively work with DSLRs and have no immediate plans to switch to other formats. I chose CS5 because of native DSLR workflow support without the need for transcoding. So you would expect all parts of the suite to embrace it, including OL. Initially, it appeared to be that way, but now you call video playback of DSLR footage inside OL "a bug"!?
With the original installment of OL 5.0 I could quickly review a clip and start adding metadata to the clips (for easy reference) and then import them in PPro using the media browser (PPro does have a tendency to have incredible long save times/crashes when you keep the media browser open). After importing, by dragging the Description field right next to the name of the clip in the project panel, I can easily find the material I need for editing purposes (although a search box would help).
I guess now with 5.0.1 I have to have both Bridge (or some other video player) open to be able to view the files and then add metadata to the corresponding clip in OnLocation. Where else could I add meaning to my footage?
Just how strange is that!? Luckily Windows 7 now offers a side-by-side sticky viewing option, but surely there must be a way for OnLocation to do video playback natively... Come on, it's just a video player, right? If Bridge and PPro and most other parts of the CS5 suite can play this footage back (you can even do matte painting inside Photoshop, right?), then why can't OnLocation? Why is it so difficult to "support" playback of these H.264 files?
The only thing I can imagine is that it may be a technical challenge to read out vectorscope info from compressed footage. So for now (CS5), you could grey out the ability to set in and outpoints inside OnLocation (rough cutting), and disable read-out of all the vectorscopes for DSLR footage... and then provide full native DSLR support in CS6. I just need video and audio playback, to be able to add metadata efficiently and keep my workflow going.
For a DSLR workflow, OnLocation can be a VERY valuable relational database tool that reads and adds metadata from/to associated footage files and creates an XML project-reference file which can then be imported in PPro. IF it works, of course...
I am more than happy to beta-test this for you guys and provide feedback.

Is it possible for a mac to recognise a camcorder as a video input without using imovie/final cut?

Is it possible for a mac to recognise a camcorder as a video input without using imovie/final cut, I use web based video capture software and need an HD input that the mac would recognise as if it were a webcam?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

HI,
I used to use an analogue Camcorder and a DV converter that had Firewire output at one stage when starting out in iChat.

OSX Upgrade has screwed up my video input!!

Hey guys,
My issue is that Final Cut is not recognizing my Video FireWire input now that I have upgraded to Tiger (10.4.11). It recognizes the audio input from the cameras (I've been using more than one as long as I've had my macs with Panther).
Final Cut is telling me that my Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480) video input is "missing."
Also, when I go to "Log and Capture" and hit "Play," it plays the video on the camera and plays the audio, but the Log and Capture screen remains with the "Preview Disabled" message.
I should note that I've gone through all the basics with my mac and with Final Cut including checking the cable, the cameras, refreshing in Final Cut, fiddling with my Final Cut preferences - and my machine is showing that it is indeed reading my cameras when I check the "firewire bus."
I have deduced that this must be due to the upgrade because I'm having the same issue on 4 other eMacs in the classroom at the school where I teach, which I've also upgraded from Panther to Tiger. And everything worked fine before the upgrade (which is making me regret ever doing it!).
Can anyone help??? This is extremely frustrating!! Thanks,
Dan

Daniel,
As has been pointed out already, FCP 4.5 runs best with Panther and QT 6.5
In a lab situation such as yours where reliability for teaching rather than access to the latest os widgets and waggles, I would think it's paramount to stick with a reliable combination of applications to operating systems.
FCP4.5
OS 10.3.9
QT 6.5
I am also mystified that many folks keep thinking FCP 4.5 can and should run properly with Tiger and especially Leopard and when it doesn't they show up here whining and blaming Apple (I'm not talking specifically about you). Amazing.
Good luck,
Zeb

HP 2311x - Can't access menu at all & screen shows "Check video Cable" message.

I've got an HP 2311x hooked up to a Mac Mini running OSX 10.6
My monitor has a black screen and is displaying the "Check video Cable" message and I am completely unable to access the on screen menu. Pressing the menu button has no effect and does not bring up the on screen interface.
I have tried connecting the monitor using HDMI, HDMI->DVI, and mini-display-port->DVI. Same results on each.
My monitor had been working fine for the past two months. When I first hooked it up the auto detection screen would pop up every few minutes while my computer was asleep so I went into the menu and disabled the auto detection and set the monitor to DVI only.
I unhooked my monitor for a few days to rearrange my office and when I plugged it back in it no longer detected any signal on the DVI input and I can't access the on screen menu to change the setting back to auto detection. I have tried to perform a hardware reset by unplugging the power cable and holding down the power button for 60 seconds, but that also doesn't work.
Any ideas?

I have two of these monitors connected to a MacPro. Last night one of them started behaving this way after a power outage. I found I had to connect it to the computer via VGA and then do a factory reset from the monitor's menu.
HP led me to believe that I could do a factory reset by disconnecting the cable and holding the power button for 20 seconds. Apparently that doesn't work for this one.

Issue in mapping.. Source message expect with prefix ns0 in input message!

Issue in mapping.. Source message expect with prefix ns0 in input message
Hi All,
I used the XSD structure which I got from partner which starts like below.
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://xxxx.com/DirectSales/CustomerData" xmlns:prodata="urn:schemas-progress-com:xml-prodata:0001" xmlns="">

The message is failing during mapping. When i checked in message mapping, I found that the input source message is expecting with prefix "ns0" like <ns0:CustomerRequest...
how I can solve this issue? Is there anyway I can add the prefix "ns0" before it comes to mapping step.?
Thanks

How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input. Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI. Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

google component hdmi converter
but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all
and will not work with any DRM material as in movies you reant and maybe netflix and the sports thingy

How can I connect my iPad to a TV that only has an s-video input available but also has a usb port on the satellite box available.

I would like to connect my iPad to my older TV but the only inputs available are the s-video input port on the TV itself and there is also a USB input port on the satellite box that feeds the TV. I could also split all the RCA jacks to accomodate another input here. Thanks in advance for any and all help with this problem of mine..............RR.

There is no s-video cable available for any iPad.
The USB port on the cable box is for maintenance use only.
There are RCA cables available:

Please help! Not able to set Video input Port(S-Video or Composite)on Linux

Hi
I am using JMF2.1.1e(Linux performance pack) for video capturing on Linux OS. I want to set video input port(S-Video or composite) through my application. I am using the following code:
     if ( dataSource != null )
          arrControls = dataSource.getControls ();
     if ( arrControls != null )
          nCount = arrControls.length;
     System.out.println("No. of Controls: " + nCount);
     for ( i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
          if ( arrControls[i] == null )
               continue;
          if ( !(arrControls[i] instanceof Control) )
               continue;
          componentControl = ((Control)arrControls).getControlComponent ();
          System.out.println("ComponentControl : " + componentControl);
          if ( componentControl == null )
               continue;
But, i am getting No. of Controls: 0 (Zero). So i am not able to get any control component also. Rest of the application is working fine. Please help me solving this problem.
Thanks in advance.

To go a stage further.
Google run a Jabber server for their service.
Jabber apps (those that can) use a Protocol called Jingle to make the A/V connections.
Google's version is not even that compatible with other Jabber apps. (See Here)
The Plug-in in the Google Install (Or the Standalone Web Browser Plug-in allow Browsers to access the GoogleTalk A/V side as does the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
iChat uses a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect to other iChat Users or to the AIM for PC app.
However this also works in any iChat to iChat Connection no matter if the Buddy List is an AIM Login based one, Jabber (including GoogleTalk) or A LAN based Bonjour Chat.
In you care this is not going to work.
Getting the Standalone (Intel only) Browser Plug-in and using the Chat option in the Google Mail Web page is probably the easiest option.

I already post this before, but it seem it being blocked as I didnt have the genuine window. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162310.msg1189334#msg1189334)
Fine by me. Now I alrdy have a genuine window and the problem still occur.
I already test both the hdmi and the dvi but the result still the same. still no signal or no video input. And I also test the desktop on other monitor and the result problem pointed at the graphic card.
And as stated in my previous topic, when I remove the graphic card can connect the monitor through the hdmi on the mother board it work fine.
Here some spec of my desktop.

Hope you guys can help me solve this problem. Thank you.

as long as you take all the cables out one by one carfully without more then a few pounds of force with a slight wiggle as they come up its not that hard to do then take the whole PSU and the gpu to your friends house to see if it works
hell if you dont want to plumb the whole unit into his rig on the main 20/24 pin connector find the green cables pin and any neer by black ground cable and jump your psu with a paperclip in the wholes and just connected to your graphics card in his case and psu outside his case to only power your card and flip the power switch to turn it on quite easy (10 mins to do max)!
