S-Video to TV after Tiger not responsive works in classic

I occasionally use s-video to TV to watch some movies from the dvd drive on my TV. I was able to do this fine using panther, but when i upgraded to Tiger, my pbook stopped recognizing the TV. When i hit "detect displays" in the display prefs, the TV screen will flicker for a sec and then remain black. In the ASP, it says "status: no display connected" even though the cable is hooked up.
I thought that maybe there was some problem with the cable, but another time when I had restarted in classic mode, I started a game that asked me which display i wanted to use. Thinking of my display problems in Tiger, i tried using the TV as a display to play the game, and sure enough it worked. So i know that the cable isn't a problem. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who was having a similar problem or knows what to do to fix this.
I have tried resetting the PRAM, with no results. I have unplugged the cable from both TV and computer, restarted, plugged in the cable as it says in the Help directory, and that didn't work.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

actually.. figured out the problem.
it seems that having the another set of RCA cables plugged into the TV for the VCR were causing interference or were superseding the cables plugged in from the S-video from my G4.. so after unplugging those, voila! the detect displays worked right away and since then i've been happily watching dvds from my comp on the TV..
still not sure how it worked in classic mode with the same cables plugged in.. but i'm happy that it all works now. hopefully this will serve as a reminder to us to try checking all the cables, even if they aren't directly related to the problem. Thanks!

    Hi KevinMcL,
    Thank you for contacting support. I am also using your set up and I experience video issues when I have hardware acceleration turned on.
    Other steps you can take to improve your experience:
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    KT,
    Thank you so much for your interest and response.  I think that I followed all the suggested 6 steps from the iBA user tip but to no avail.  Do you know anything about this comment by dmingo which is pasted below?
    'User dmingo says this about that:
    After audio tracks are placed in your book, you must 'Publish' the book from iBA (using the 'File/Publish...' menu) - that means re-entering all metadata from scratch - you can't simply import the .ibooks file into iTP. If you enter another audio clip at some time, you have to do it all again. '
    To me it seems to say the video clips need to be delivered separately and one at a time.
    I would be grateful for any advice

  • 5th Generation iPod video locking up getting hot not respond

    I have the 5thGen iPod...connected to 1.8 Dual G5 Power Mac w/ current OS X Tiger/iTunes current version/. The First couple of days it worked fine video(Handbrake converted DVD's),songs all worked great.
    The last time I charged the iPod it was stuck in (do not disconnect mode) and very very hot! I reset it and it came back up... Later some of the video files would play then all the sudden I would get thrown out to the Menu list... Now I removed all the fles from the ipod and tried to reload them (video and audio files) itunes/ computer locks up while updating
    Has anyone had these problems? did I get a bad iPod?

    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have consolidate my folders related to the video I am in the progress of working on.  Premiere elements does not follow their new location.  How do I syn them back up all at once so premiere doesn't ask me for their location when I open the project

    This is the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Premiere Elements forum, located here:
    https://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    When you open the project, it should ask you where the first file is located. After you tell it where it is, it should be able to find the rest of them if they are located near the first one.  Then save the file.  If you move the files again, you will have to relink them again.

  • Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

    Really Apple?
    With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
    Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
    The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
    Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
    I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
    Thank you.

    Read this post: 10.8.5 Broke Camera Usage For 3rd Party Apps Like Skype

    Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

  • Adobe after effects not responding, ever!

    I have been having this issue for a long time and cant seem to find a solution, maybe I am wording it wrong, i dont know. It worked just fine for about a year, but now basically every single time I open adobe after effects cs5 it works for about 1-2 minutes and then freezes, the typical "this program is not responding" message shows up with no error code. it doesnt matter what I do or what I click on, it happens every single time! Its really frusterating! my computer has 32 gb, I'm sure that is plenty of RAM. I have done all the updates on the adobe website (including the quicktime updates) I saw OpenGL mentioned many times but I cant seem to find anything like that on my computer so I dont know if that is a problem or not. I noticed on the sytem requirements list (I have a windows 7 professional) they said that the processor must be Intel® Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® and my computer has intel (R) Xeon(R) cpu  5160 @   3.00GHZ  3.00 ghz (2 processors) I honestly have no idea if that would be a problem. If anyone else has had this issue I would love to hear how you fixed it, I have tried so many things chances are I already tried it but still.

    okay sorry it took so long, this is my dads old computer so I had to keep calling him haha. so I literally anwered everything, I really want to find a solution!
    1) adobe after effects cs5 with the 10.0.2 update
    2) on the adobe website it looks like this is the most recent update for cs5 on windows
    3) windows 7 professional 64 bit opetrating system
    4) intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU, 2 processors, 32 GB of ram, NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800, 2 disk drives, no external drives
    5) NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800
    I couldnt seem to find anything about CUDA , I googled it but couldnt find anything to tell me how to find out this info, if you know please let me know
    6) nvidia quadro fx 5800
    7) source footage is microsoft video AVI, with quicktime
    8) it was just the typical "this program is not responding, please wait for the program to respond" I let it run a couple times to see if it ever responded but it never did. but the last couple of times I opened AE it just freezes and no message shows up.
    9) it doesnt matter what I do, even if I just open it and let it sit there it still freezes up.
    10) it worked for about a year, I dont beleive anything major has changed on my computer, but I have been stuggling with this problem so long I wouldnt be able to remember anyways.
    11) yes quicktime is installed and updated, it is version 7.7.4
    12) I usually dont have anything else running other than AE
    13) I asked my dad about this and he said he didnt think so so I assume that means no.
    14) yes I have openGL enabled
    15) within the first two minutes of opening AE doesnt matter if I am editing, ram previewing, or nothing.
    16) I have tried checking and unchecking the "render multiple frames simultaneously multiprocessing" and the problem occurs either way, but right now I am using it.
    17) no use of ray traced 3d rendering
    18) not an out put problem
    19) exact sequence of steps? well... I click on adobe after effects, it opens kinda slower than it used to, then I usually will his ram preview because then I can see when it stops exactly, but I also have tried opening it and just looked at settings or preferences or what not and it would freeze then, or I will click on a diffrent compositions and it would freeze. pretty much whatever steps I take it always happens.

  • Video calling of any kind not functioning? iPhone 4

    My girlfriend and I have been trying for literally months now to figure out how to make video calls go through on  our iPhone 4s. Before anyone gives the (obvious) answer, yes, we have added each other to our contact lists (on all video apps we've tried). We've mainly been using Skype for voice calls, but when attempting to do video calls we discovered that not only Skype, but every other app we have is dysfunctional. Our Skype apps are both completely up to date and the same versions. We are both connected to WiFi and have access to media features. We've attempted using both front and back cameras. We have tried uninstalling/reinstalling our apps, rebooting iPhones, restoring iPhones, using jailbroken and non-jailbroken OS, pretty much every combination of things we can think of.
    We can talk just fine using voice calling features on apps, both iPhone to iPhone and iPhone to PC (when available). Voice call is flawless, works every single time, regardless of the platforms or OS versions or anything.
    However, when attempting to use the video call features, we can both see our own camera views on our own screens, but the person we're calling simply gets a solid black screen. There's still voice and sound, just no video display at all. We've tried it between iPhones and iPhone to PC, all we get is a black screen if the iPhone camera is being used.
    Video calling did work ONE time, just recently, from my iPhone to her computer (using Skype). She was able to see everything and hear things like it should work. After I hung up and attempted to video call again while she was on her iPhone, though, it was back to the black screen and no video. So, video from iPhone to PC worked once and then never again for no reason apparent to us.
    Other video call apps we've tried, like the built-in FaceTime, ooVoo, and some others have also failed to work, showing only a black screen. So, this is apparently an issue with the iPhones themselves, but hopefully someone here would know a working solution.

    It will help if you say whether you're on a Mac or PC.
    Other people who have reported this error have resolved it by unsyncing music, then resyncing. Some have found that resyncing an album at a time helps

  • No video or startup after chime - could it be...

    a few days ago, while away from home, my pb would only chime and then not startup. you can hear a small chirp of disk activity, but then only the fan. the only way out was to hold the power button and power down. i tried everything, zapping the pram, swapping batteries, hooking up an external monitor, reseating the ram, and resetting the pmu. finally i called apple and he agreed that it must be the video card or the logic board, and set-up a order to send me the shipping box. as we were finishing up, the pb, upside down, battery removed and lid closed - came on. ? i flipped it over, and opened it up and it was starting up normally. after doing some backups, i shut it down, and tried to restart. same black screen, no activity. after 4-5 power downs, and restarts, some including pram zapping (sometimes it won't reset the pram - or at least not re-chime) it would eventually startup. after startup everything is fine, no problems, no crashes. i even cloned the entire drive without a hitch. monday when i was home again, it took about 3 or 4 attempts to start again. after it was up for about 10-15 min. a networking dialog came up - searching for MDD_X (my desktop g4) with only a cancel button - i hit cancel. strange thing is i never tried to connect to the desktop, and don't have anything setup to auto connect to it. a few minutes later the same thing, this time i waited instead of canceling, and it evetually gave up with a dialog to the effect of - the connection doesn't exist or isn't available. after that, the pb starts up normally so far.
    on a similar topic - i realized a long time ago that a shutdown problem was actually a network issue. if i'm sharing a disk in my MDD G4 and have it mounted on the pb, if i don't eject it on my pb before shutting down the MDD G4 when i try to shut down the pb it results in a apparent hang right before shutting down. it just stays on the blue screen (or maybe gray) but no indication that it's looking for a connection. i have to restart the MDD G4, and as soon as it comes up, the pb shuts down. it used to be more foolproof, all the way back to os7, that when you shut down a machine that was sharing a disk, it would ask you how long do you want to give them to disconnect, or just disconnect, and the client side would get a dialog saying you've got so many seconds, or that you've been disconnected. osx seems to be dumb in that regard. is there a preference i'm missing?
    and more importantly - is it normal or possible that a network connection search could halt the startup even before the video starts up? or should i be worried that my logic board has a problem still. i don't want to wait until my applecare runs out.
    thanks

    Thanks Tom,
    Yes, I can find the clip just fine using the reveal in finder function. It pops up and I played it back in Quicktime. No problems there.
    Here's a screenshot of what I have. The parts that are selected do not have any video or audio after export. The ones that are not selected play fine after export. I don't understand what could be the issue since they are from the same source clip.

  • How to force Tiger to print doc within Classic environment, not with OSX?

    I want to print certain documents using OS9's printing utility within the Classic environment, and NOT using Tiger's standard OSX printing method. How?
    I know it is possible because I have two Macs connected to the same printer, and it works on one and not the other. I can't figure out why.
    Here are the specifics:
    I have a printer, the Ricoh Laser AP2600. Connected to it are two computers:
    a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7, and
    an iMac running 10.3.9.
    When I print documents from OSX applications, the two computers take the exact same time to print. HOWEVER, when I print from Classic applications, the iMac running 10.3.9 prints very quickly, but the PB running 10.4.7 takes two to three times as long. That's because the iMac prints the document using the old OS9 "Print Monitor" printing utility, and never passes the printing back to Tiger. Whenever I try to print a document from a Classic application on the PB, however, it passes the printing to the standard OSX printing method, which (for some reason) is much slower.
    (Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology.)
    I checked and double-checked, and as far as I can tell, all the "printer descriptions" and "drivers" and everything else is absolutely identical in both System 9 "Extension" folders on both computers. I installed the exact same Ricoh print-driver packages for OSX and Classic on both machines identically. So -- why does one print quickly within Classic, and the other pass the printing job back to slow OSX?
    The specific application that causes this discrepancy is MSWord 5.1a, a very old version that only works under Classic. (I use it a lot because I prefer it to more recent versions of MSWord.)
    A secondary, but related, question: Why does printing documents from within the Classic environment go so much more quickly than in OSX? It seems to be one of the few aspects of OSX that's worse than OS9.
    So -- how can I make my PB behave like my iMac? Is there some difference between 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 that causes this different behavior? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.

    OK, I have finally solved the problem -- mostly.
    The trick was to click on the Chooser option called "PSPrinter" -- not LaserWriter 8 or any of the others. I took a chance on that since I knew that the Ricoh 2600 was a PostScript printer. When I clicked on it, and chose "Set up printer," I was able to set up the Ricoh driver. Then, when I tried printing, it worked -- it printed within the Classic environment, not in Tiger. And what a difference!! Under Tiger, a simple page of text takes 45 seconds to process and print. Under Classic, the exact same page processes and prints in 8 seconds! A huge difference. So, I finally got it to work.
    The downside is that I can't get it to "stick." If I restart Classic (or the entire computer), the next time I go back to print in MSWord 5.1a (my Classic application), it will have reverted back to the Tiger method of printing. So, the first time I print a page in 5.1a during any session, I have to go to Chooser and select PSPrinter. This adds 15 seconds or so to the process, so printing a single page overall isn't any faster, if you add up all the steps. Subsequent prints all are done quickly in Classic automatically, as long as Classic hasn't restarted. (I can even quit the application and restart it without a problem -- only an OS restart causes it to revert back to Tiger printing.)
    So, my basic problem is solved, and I'm fairly satisfied. But I still have two nagging issues that I wouldn't mind answered if anybody knows the answers:
    How can I make my Chooser printer selection in Classic "stick" permanently from one restart to the next? Why does it revert to Tiger printing after a restart?
    And the fundamental question: why is Classic printing so much faster than Tiger printing? I thought Tiger was supposed to be a "digital hub" that made communicating with peripherals so easy? In most ways it is, but why is printing the one way in which OSX is WORSE than OS9, at least in regards to speed?

  • Why do some YouTube videos stop playing after a short time?

    Since sometime in October, 2013, I have noticed that more and more YouTube videos stop playing within a minute of starting. Most that stop do so in 15 or 16 seconds. The playing stops because the download stops. I watch this on a network activity monitor I always have running. Not all videos do this, but the problem is becoming more and more frequent. Some videos which played correctly for me in the recent past are now exhibiting this problem.
    Other than installing the latest Firefox updates I have NOT changed the software on my machine. I run Linux by the way. I do not think this is a Linux problem because (1) it was all working before and (2) my son who runs both Mac OS X *and* Windows is also seeing the same problem. We both use Firefox as our browser on all our platforms.
    I should also note that I am NOT seeing this problem with any of the other video websites I use, only when I go to YouTube. That leads me to believe that the problem is not in Firefox; if it were it should affect videos from all websites.
    Additionally the problem occurs whether or not I log into YouTube.
    I have not run Firefox in safe mode because all the extensions I use did not affect the download of Videos before, so I don't expect unchanged extensions to suddenly start causing problems.
    So, anyone else see this problem? (There was another note which talked about the same problem but it was disabled.)
    Also -- pardon my paranoia, but -- I need to ask: Since YouTube is owned by Google and Google has its own browser it wants you to use, Chrome, is it possible that Google is intentionally causing some YouTube videos to fail if it sees that they are being sent to Firefox?
    (That is not so outlandish I think. Microsoft WAS at one point caught mangling web pages going to certain web browsers other than IE. And these days Google wants to dominate the Internet just as badly as Microsoft does, so why not pull dirty tricks too?)
    If this keeps happening I am going to have to try Google's Chrome to see if it somehow manages to play YouTube videos correctly while Firefox does not. But I really do NOT want to install Chrome because I trust Google about as much as I trust Microsoft, which is to say Not At All.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    There have been some issues with Flash 11 in the recent past. This could be a manifestation of that issue. Kindly check this response below to see if this helps you in viewing Flash videos.
    Also, if you want to check if this is a flash problem and specifically on youtube, you can try the HTML5 version of Youtube. In this, there are no plugins involved, and the browser natively renders the videos. You can signup for the HTML5 trial by visiting http://youtube.com/html5. Please try that and check if the issue goes away.
    Also, in this case, Google might not be doing anything sinister - they generally try to be standards compliant too. You can definitely try installing Google Chrome and test this issue, but we definitely would want you to continue to be a Firefox user :)

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

    Also, try this one too
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

  • Annoying Bug ('feature'), requiring video to have audio (or not) to import!!

    There are several occasions where I'm in the middle of a job and I wish to change, say, a video. I have some other video that can directly overlay it. Premiere Pro CS3 (as opposed to older versions) will not let me relink a video in my project to another video unless they both either have audio, or do not.
    Why?
    Why do you care, Adobe, if both videos have audio?
    Why do you care if they both don't?
    I think I can make my own decisions based on if they have audio or not. 99% of the time, I don't use the audio in the clip as it it, so please stop failing my re-linking of a video based on if they both have audio or not. That's for ME to decide if it's "ok" to replace.
    Just remove audio off the timeline if the video I relink to does not have it. Vice versa, do NOT put the audio on the timeline if it DOES have it and my original video did not. This is not difficult, this is expected behavior, and having to re-create videos so they match audio-wise is insanely counterproductive.

    Not true. In fact most of what you describe I was able to achieve. I tested it now and it worked fine. What exactly are you doing to relink a clip?
    I already explained this but, no, it's not working for you, you must be doing something different entirely. Once my machine is done rendering in after effects I'll post a screenshot, but I already explained this. To reproduce this problem the steps are simple:
    1. Import a video with mono audio
    2. Place on timeline in any sequence
    3. Right-click on the video in the Project Library, Make-offline
    4. Right-click on the video in the Project Library, select link the video, choose
    some other video clip with stereo audio, or no audio
    You will get an error that the source video has a mono audio channel and cannot be replaced by a stereo (or no audio) clip. It will fail. Every time.
    Then hold down ALT and replace the audio/video with a track from your bin.
    This is an entirely different thing than what I'm doing. Replace clip is not my solution, and is limited as I posted about earlier.
    This is natural of course. You cannot expect Premiere to match and keep internal In & Out points for clips that have different total durations. Also each clip has a different timecode In Point seperate from it's duration.
    Ahhh.. The good old "assumption" screwing everything up.
    This is not the case, all the time. My
    videos are identical. That is, exact resolution, exact time (down to the frame count), etc. The only difference is in the content in the video itself (text and visuals). They are an
    identical video as far as the computer is concerned,
    only differing in audio. And premiere things this is a good enough reason to refuse relinking.
    And honestly, even if the duration differs, there are better ways of dealing with it than just outright failing. So what if the in and out points are out of range for a clip I'm replacing it with? Just use the 'video offline' effect or create a new visual indicator that the timestamps are invalid for the range, but
    work for the
    valid timestamp ranges. Then I can wholly replace clips easily with other clips to see which I like better, without making me re-create my keyframing effects.
    Again, this is not my problem, I don't like or care to use replace clip. I am trying to RELINK files, which as you said, is a completely different thing. I am not confused, I have been using premiere for as long as anyone else here. This is a valid issue that older Premieres did not care about, and rightly so.

  • The icons for the Personas Plus and Video Download Helper extensions are not displaying on a fresh install of Firefox 3.6.12

    I had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of my up-t0-date Firefox due to another problem (it would only open one window), but after reinstalling my extensions, their icons were not displaying.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but the Personas Plus fox will not display in the status bar, and the Video Download Helper icon will not display in the Navigation toolbar, and is not available in the Customize Toolbars menu.
    These extensions worked fine before. What's wrong now?

    You need to set options in those add-ons and/or use Customize Toolbars. Always look at instructions on each add-on's page at https://addons.mozilla.org/ ,
    -search for and locate the add-on,
    -open the page for that add-on,
    -review the information there,
    -then visit and bookmark the developer's home page shown on the add-on page; many add-on developers also have a forum for questions, so look for a link on the developer's home page.
    Most questions can be answered in one of those places.
    <u>'''ABP'''</u>: Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on ABP, click Options, in ABP interface, click on Options tab, if no check mark at "Show in toolbar" or "Show in status bar", you can click on each of those items to place a check mark and they will show in one or both places. On the add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/ visit and bookmark the developer's home page and forum.
    <u>'''NoScript'''</u>
    '''''For the toolbar''''': scroll down on the following to the paragraph in the first section beginning with "A set of toolbar buttons is also provided:" and read that section: http://noscript.net/features#basics . It gives instructions on using the Customize Toolbar function to place the icon on your toolbar. Also see:

    '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar How to customize the toolbar]'''
    '''''For the Status Bar''''': Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on NoScript, click Options, click Advanced tab, check your preferences; see 4th image on: http://noscript.net/screenshots

    why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? HElp me please..

    Hi eversonjm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea.  See this article for instructions:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:
