Performa 6400 fails to show video

Hi there,
I have a performa 6400 that is upgraded with a G3 sonnet card. It was working really well for such an old machine until I moved it to a new office. Now when I start up the machine, the monitor light turns 'green' for a second, indicating it is connected but then quickly turns off as if a signal is not getting through, although the machine sounds like it's starting up normally.
It does have a PCI rage pro ATI card in one of the slots which has always worked perfectly, but after this I disconnected it, removed it and used the built in video but the effect is the same. Any suggestions, recommendations?
Thanks
Kevin

Ipad randomly failing to show videos inside webpages

I just updated my ipad to the new OS 4.2.1, and since then some vimeo videos embedded in webpages are failing to appear.
I was able to strem them untill one hour ago when i upgraded, now the ipad randomly fails showing some of those.
This webpage is an example:
www.frame.it/page/Portfolio/op/view/id/175/LogoRai1
This videos still work on ipads with the old OS, so is not an encoding issue.
On the new OS, the player mask is actually generated, but remains transparent.

Hi Michael,
of course is supposed to play those and sometimes plays fine on my ipad too.
I will try explaining myself a bit better:
There are 5 or 6 videos on this page.
The ipad randomly fails to show some of these, sometimes it shows 4 sometimes 2.
And i mean it fails "to show the video box in the page". If you see the play button and the background image it will work fine, but you will notice some blank spaces beetween one video and another, those are not loaded videos.
The mask just remains transparent.
Yes, I see the same behavior with 4.2.1. It's probably a Safari bug. If you haven't already done so report it at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I couldn't find a work-around for it. The bug is probably in common rending code since it also appears in the iCab browser as well.

Lync clients 2013 fails to show video, but 2010 works ok.

We'v migrated from 2010 to 2013 Lync server. But some Lync clients in remote places are still 2010.
And today I'v discovered that in a conference for 50+ participants but only one speaker (audio, video and presentation) for some reasons no one of 2013 client and WebApp could see a speaker video. I'v first restarted a client, then
a device, but no effect. After 30 minutes we have to start without a video, but some users with 2010 clients wrought that they have a video of the speaker.
I'v installed a Lync 2010 to my test PC, and on the same PC, with the same credentials 2010 client video is ok, and 2013 shows only a video placeholder.
I’v created a test conference, and the same situation repeats with only 4 clients.
Any suggestions ?

Hi,
From your description above, did you mean only 4 special Clients have this issue?
If yes, please try to check the OC firmware, delete Lync user profile and Lync information on Registry, then test he issue again. If the issue persists, please check if the Lync 2013 client update to the latest version.
Lync user profile: %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
Lync user information on Registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]

NX Ultra - Failed to show video

I get this error when I try loading up the camera in WebCam Center as well as adobe photoshop, I haven't been able to try it in any of my messenger programs, but I'd rather not until I know it's work. I can take still shots fine in Photoshop with it, that's not a problem, but I like being able to see what the shot will look like before I take it. Makes sense, right? Anyways, I'd appreciate a solution to this. Thanks.

I'm Having the same problem with my Live! Mobile. Everything else seems to work fine. I have tried the programs WebCam Center and Acti've WebCam, with the same results. Also I tried another computer which also failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Failed to show video

when i tried to take a picture with the live! cam center it appears a message that says: " " can somebody please help me with that? i also tried to download the latest version of the program but still doesn't work. can somebody tell me why is that?

The VFO220 currently does not seem to have a driver developed for Vista.

New OS on Performa 6400/200

ok, picked up a performa 6400 at the thrift store, it needs a new os. Have tried 2 different copies of os 9.04 i have, neither worked. Is there any trick to his I am missing?
It is also possible that the lens needs to be dusted off, cause most of this comp was very dusty. I have tried a lens cleaning cd, but that lead to no change, and I can't get to the lens to manually clean it.
EDIT: I have also tried to use the Network boot floppy, but that didn't work

Were the CDs of OS 9 white with an orange 9? This is a retail installer with OS 9. If the CD is gray, it's for another model Mac & probably won't work.
Here's the spec sheet on the Performa http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macperforma/stats/mac_performa_6400200.html The spec sheet shows the supported OS as 7.5.3-8.6, 9.0.
There's a great site for the Performa at The 6400 Zone http://zone6400.com/

This behaviour has been reported before by a number of customers who are running UWC/CE on Application Server:

My advice remains the same name:
1. Deploy UWC/CE to Sun WebServer 7 instead which has not exhibited this behaviour.
2. Log a Sun Support case so a detailed investigation can be performed.

Performa 6400 & Mac IIcx

I have both a Performa 6400/200 and MacIntosh IIcx. Both I want to transfer the data from each to my G5.
The Performa has the following ports:
1. 25 pin scsi female connector.
2. 8 pin din female connector (printer icon)
3. 8 pin din female connector (modem icon)
4. 6 pin phone or ethernet jack (not sure which).
The Mac IIcx has the following ports:
1. 25 pin scsi female connector.
2. 8 pin din female connector (printer icon)
3. 8 pin din female connector (modem icon)
There is no modem in this IIcx.
Can data be transferred through the scsi cable with a scsi to usb adapter? I'm hoping I can just access the hard drive some how in each of these old units (not simultaneously) as if they were external HD that shows up on my G5 monitor.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Gene

Hi Gene,
Could you confirm that this cable would work for what I want to do?
That appears to be something that might work. However, the link to this product could possibly be even more interesting.
Also, can't I just leave the HD in the 6400 so I can use its power supply and unplug the IDE cable from the 6400 and plug in the IDE/usb adapter?
In principle, yes. Depending upon how the adapter is connected and powered, you may or may not encounter interference problems, though. It may be better remove the entire drive (or at least all cables connected to it) and use both the IDE interface and the power supply from the external device.
Then once I have it hooked up, I assume it will show up on my G5 as another drive, right?
Yes, that is the idea.
Also, I'm hoping I can do this without hooking up a monitor on the 6400 since the 6400 HD will be now acting as an external HD to the G5, right?
Yes.
With regards to the IIcx, can I not access it the same way using a scsi to usb adapter of some kind?
When the first iMac was introduced, there were USB-to-SCSI adapters. The question is whether these (if you can find one today) will work well at all (and with your G5). Someone else may be able to provide you with more information about this.
If this won't work and assuming I have to connect using an 8pin din cable between the 6400 and the IIcx in their respective printer ports, would I have to have monitors on both units so I can see the file sharing software work or could I operate the whole thing from the 6400?
You would, normally, need monitors on both units.
Is the file sharing software part of the mac operating system or is that something I would also have to install? Could you elaborate on how I would do this?
File sharing has been part of the Mac OS since System 7. It is not difficult. AppleTalk has to be on. Basically, you would enable file sharing on one of the computers. The other can then connect to the former computer (via the Chooser). The manuals and the built-in help system describe to do this.
Good luck! Do not hesitate to post again if there are additional questions.

AV Connections on Performa 6400/200

Hi,
I have a Performa 6400/200 running OS 8.6 with 256MB of memory.
The back of the computer has a set of RCA and S-Video connectors. Both input and output. The circuit board is identified as "Avid Technologies."
Does anyone have any information on what is required to use the AV hardware? Can I connect a VCR and copy video to the hard drive?
Thanks,
Sy Bensky

Your 6400 has the Apple Video System option installed, so if you do an advanced search of the Knowledge Base for it (select "Include content created prior to 1997"), you should be able to find some info about it. As I recall, it shipped with the Avid Cinema program, but the Apple Video Player program functions with it also. There was also an option for a TV tuner or FM tuner, allowing you to watch TV or listen to radio on your 6400. The Apple Video System was more of a high-tech toy at the time, but 10 years later - it's really low-tech. It was certainly never intended for high quality digitizing of analog video for full-screen display. The 603e/180 or 200 MHz processor and limited 1 MB of DRAM for onboard video support aren't capable of handling serious video work. For amusement purposes, you can connect a VCR and watch small-screen video and/or create and save small QuickTime video files.
Incidentally, the maximum supported RAM in a 6400 is 136 MBs - 8 MBs soldered to the motherboard and a pair of 64 MB DIMMs in each of the two RAM slots.

IPhoto events only show videos, no pictures

For some reason, my iPhoto events started showing videos only, no pictures. I can see the pictures on the thumbnails, or when I open them using Photos instead of Events, or when I open the events (projects) on Aperture. I already rebuilt the database but nothing changed. If I import new pictures (thus creating a new event), I see them on the new event's thumbnail, but once again if I go into the event nothing shows up.
This happened around the same time iMovie analyzed the iPhoto library for videos, for a new project I'm making on iMovie. Now iMovie can't see the iPhoto videos anymore.
Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Toshiba TL938 fails to show greek subtitles playing movies from USB

Hello,
the Toshiba media player does play well the videos that are in the usb, but fails to show properly the
greek subtitles.
Although they are loaded, they characters are shown wrong.
I tried to convert the srt file to UTF-8 but it made no difference.
Any suggestions of what i could still try /

*Problem solved.*
It seems that selecting only UTF-8 on notepad ++ was not enough.
I had to choose the character set but also to choose the option to convert it to UTF-8.
Finally subtitles work without a problem.

How do you get your iMac to show video (or mirroring) with Apple Tv...please help!

I have searched this forum, read the articles here and on Google and I still can't figure this out. Perhaps what I'm wanting isn't possible.
All I want to do is watch my CBS show from www.cbs.com on Apple Tv via my iMac. The Apple TV moniker is next to the volume in iTunes, and I can play music through Apple Tv via I-tunes and have it play on my TV. Thus, I know it is connected and working. I thought I could do a mirror screen like I do with the iPad, but for the life of me I can't find anyone who has covered the subject online.
Can someone tell me, step-by-step, how to show video from my iMac onto my Apple TV. Thanks so much!
Confused in the Lou

If the specs you included about your iMac model are correct, it will not support AirPlay mirroring. See About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support for more about this, including the list of supported models & required OS X versions.

Can't get Comedy Central Daily Show video to play on MacPro, but plays ok on MacBookPro. Wassup?

   I'm flummoxed. Both MacBook Pro and Mac QuadPro are now Lion.
   I can get Daily Show videos to play on the Macbook pro, but not on the MacPro, and I hardly know where to start diagnosing the problem. I've tried to compare configurations w/ FireFox, but I don't see the discrepancy, if there is one.
   I used to be able to see the video on (shows up as a solid black rectangle) the desktop in 10.5.8, then I think disappeared in snow leopard, 10.6.nn, and has remained so in 10.7.1

Try Lion forum and even Safari. Lion pulled PowerPC/Rosetta code support.
