Settings for HDMI

what settings on a 2010 MacBook do i need to change to watch a film threw HDMI on my TV ? all i get at the Minuit is stars on the screen.

Hi again Jenko7000,
The image problem is not as difficult to solve as I initially thought. When the Mini Display Port - HDMI cable is connected to your MacBookPro and TV, on the Mac you need to go into Preferences, choose Display (or "Monitors" in some language versions like mine here in France), then just beneath the main screen panel there's an option that you can check. In my version it talks about "recopy" screen but I think in normal English versions that is called Mirroring or something very similar. Check the box and then whatever is displayed on your Mac will also display on the TV screen. I hope this works for you.
Regards,
Ian

Asus M3N78-EM settings for hdmi to TV Alsa OR Oss

I have had no luck in getting sound to my lcd tv over hdmi.
I installed Arch and Alsa 1.020 two days ago. I have tried various entries in .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf with no success.
I installed oss today through pacman, but had no luck there either. Xbmc couldn't initialize the card.
I have no preference for either Alsa or oss, just something that works.
If anyone has the settings for hdmi for either Alsa or Oss, I would be grateful to receive them.
Btw, other posts have mentioned ossxmix but I was unable to find that in pacman or aur. Ossmix is not easy to configure.

Thanks Noel, I tried it, but nothing happens.
I don't know if what's displayed in NVIDIA's panel actually reflects the current mode of operation, but according to that, NVIDIA ia always assigned to HDMI and Intel to LCD. If HDMI is not connected, it looks as if NVIDIA does nothing.
I downloaded the latest beta driver from NVIDIA and will try it, but I don't have much hope.
BTW, the problem is not only with Photoshop. Topaz Labs plug-ins can also run as stand-alone (using 'tlfusionexpres', Photoshop not running) and the same crash happens there, when I use a brush.

Settings for HDTV

I have a 32 inch LED hooked up to my mac via DVI>HDMI. The image is pretty solid at 1900x1080 overscan slected. But using the TV's remote I found a setting called dot-dot and it looks WAY clearer however, it extends the image beyond the screen so I cannot see the menu bar or dock. Any suggestions on the proper settings? I used SwitchResX to get 1900x1080 is there somehting else I should try? Thanks

The "best" settings are what looks best to you. That being said, it also depends on the TV you are hooking up to. Ideally it should be set to the aspect ratio of your TV (I'm assuming that would be 16:9 for an HDTV) and the native resolution for HD (1080i or 720p - depends on your TV and I am assuming you have a flat panel and not a CRT set).
Now comes the trickiest one the SD override. Some sets don't accept 480i over HDMI so be careful here. Setting this to "OFF" causes the FiOS box to output SD (4:3) at whatever resolution you have selected for HD(the box upconverts the resolution). The best bet is to try the different options for the SD Override and select whatever works best with your TV and looks best to your eye (some TV sets do a better job of converting SD to their native resolution than the box will). The other option is whether you want SD in 4:3 (black side bars) or stretched to fill the 16:9 screen (personal choice is to never stretch, YMMV). As always, the best setting is what looks best to you

Best flash movie settings for HDTV playback

I am creating a flash video for a trade show for my company
for the first time, and we are bringing a large HDTV to play to
movie. Do I need specific settings in flash in order for it play
corectly on a large HDTV? I have never before created a DVD using
Flash, Adobe Premiere and Encore either. What are the best file
size an settings for optimun playback?

Getting your stuff out on TV or DVD or whatever means you need to experiment and see what works best.
Make misstakes, encounter unforseen issues, these are the best learning school.
Oh and get yourselve some dvd-rw´s for testing.
For the HDwmv 720P wil do just fine (i am not sure Pro2 can do this). I use them to. I have my pc hooked up to a HD projector via hdmi. Looks great on a big screen.

Settings for Panasonic EDTV?

I'd like to hook up my new mini to the 42" EDTV Panasonic monitor via VGA.
It seems to be ok at 800X600 but something still seems stretched. I think the native resolution of this monitor is 852X480, but when I choose that from the displays menu (in system prefs), the picture disappears and the only way to get it back is oull out the vga cable and restart.
What do you think is going on here and what are the best settings for my plasma monitor?

Be careful with what connection you use. You need to connect to the TV with either HDMI or DVI. I have a 42" Sony HDTV and tried to connect using the DVI TV adaptor connecting with S Video. I sucked, so I sprung for an extra HDMI cord and now it's everything I was hoping for - crystal clear, normal dimensioned wide screen. The borders are a little smaller than the screen and overscan seems to be either too small or too big, but it's very close to correct and good enough for my purposes right now. Check your cable type and good luck!

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again. The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

ITunes looses photo sync settings for Apple TV (1st gen.)

Since the update to the new Photo app on my Mac, iTunes forgets the photo sync settings for my Apple TV (1st. generation, 160 GB HDD).
Every time I open the photo section of the Apple TV sync settings, all the options are turned off. Then I mark a couple of albums and sync the Apple TV >> all album appear on the Apple TV.
But after closing and re-opening iTunes in the photo settings everything is unmarked again. So on every following sync the photos on the Apple TV are easily erased :-( Resync them to the Apple TV takes hours (>30'000 photos!).
All the other sync settings in iTunes remain intact.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" with the latest SW (Mac OS, iTunes, Photo App, etc.)
- Apple TV 1st gen 160 GB HDD

Restarting iTunes resolves the issue in the majority of cases, if it doesn't my second guess would be your security software.
What really seems strange here is that there have been no updates since well before Xmas, so after initially setting it up, the first update would have brought you right up to the most recent (and indeed the very last) .
Agh, how silly of me, I see it's iTunes you have updated.
If that's about all you've changed, you might want to try reinstalling iTunes and bonjour.

Different rich text/plain text settings for different accounts?

I use Mail for both my work email (MS Exchange) and my personal email (webmail/IMAP). Many of my coworkers use Outlook's rich text formatting options, so I need to have my work emails go out as rich text. However I'd like to have my personal emails go out as plain text.
I can set Mail to create new messages in plain text, but to reply in the same format of the original message. That takes care of everything EXCEPT when I compose a new message using my work address... in that case it goes out as plain text, and my coworkers complain that they can't use formatting, because their copies of Outlook are in turn configured to reply in the same format as the original message.
So ideally what I'd like is to have two different formatting settings for my two different accounts. Anyone know how this might be done? Any plugins, etc., that might accomplish this?

Since you are running Jaguar, Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing in HTML and this includes when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML.
Since Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing or forwarding HTML, you can't embed images or photos in the message body anyway.
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML and although Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor, you can copy/paste HTML format from a web page and forward HTML received.
Images/photos and single page PDF attachments are revealed as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This applies to received and sent messages which is not the same as being embedded. Embedded requires HTML and an embedded attachment is not a true attachment. All Mail.app versions render HTML received but you cannot attach a photo or image as embedded with Jaguar or Panther Mail so it doesn't matter if you use RTF or Plain Text in regards to photo/image or single page PDF attachments which appear as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless.
When you use Plain Text for message composition, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses.
IMO, everyone should use Plain Text for message composition. Messages would be boring to some but the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated if HTML was banned from message composition.

I just got my iPad, I have an iPod. When I go to put apps on my new ipad it says my apple ID Is disabled. I have reset the passwords. Somehow I have two id's? I've gone into settings for apps signed out and back in with the new p.w. I can't think of what else to do to get the disabled block off. Any ideas?? Thanks

When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself.

I have had a problem with my iphone 4s for some time now but I have just been so busy to try and fix it. When I try to disable cellular data in the settings for my apps it will toggle fine, but once I exit and go back in to the cellular settings its back on again all by itself. However, even though it says the data is on, I can’t use the data when I don’t have wifi. I tried restoring my phone a few times and the last time I did that, it wouldn’t turn my service on so I had to talk with a Verizon agent for a long time trying to fix it and finally they simply sent me another phone. I thought hey new phone, this part will be fixed. However, I got my service to work but it’s still the same problem with the cellular data. I have just left it alone and not worried about it, but it’s still not fixed and thought I could ask on here if anyone had any ideas. It has something to do with the apps actually installed on the iphone. Apps like the mail, safari, settings, itunes apps, etc. All my other apps turn on and off just fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

Read the User's Guide... it covers how to backup and sync the device as designed.
