T530 - Sluggish video through HDMI only. Was fine, no longer working right

Hey all!
I've tried everything I know how. Ran updates, verified the latest drivers were installed, etc.
Long story short, machine is about 4 weeks old. Originally had no problems with video. But just recently, video does not play properly via HDMI. It seems to have started when Windows updates started downloading a few weeks ago. Now I get errors every time it tries to download updates, and the video is not working properly. Not sure if they are related, but that's where we are.
I can load videos (YouTube, streaming, etc) and they play perfectly on the laptop. As soon as I connect it to my TV via HDMI, it gets choppy and sluggish... but the audio is fine. Again, it used to work perfectly, so not sure what's going on.
So, any ideas? This laptop is useless to me if I cannot play videos on a TV or projector via HDMI. Pretty much one of the only reasons I purchased a new laptop.
TIA for any assistance.

No one?

I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
what else can I try to save her? I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

What model G3 is it? An iMac, a PowerMac, a MacBook, or a PowerBook? What is the processor (machine) speed?

Will my website, which I published through my mobile me account, no longer work as soon as I switch to iCloud, or will it continue to be supported until June. I know I will have to publish it at Go Daddy or something similar, but am not ready to do that y

Will my website, which I published through my mobile me account, no longer work as soon as I switch to iCloud, or will it continue to be supported until June. I know I will have to publish it at Go Daddy or something similar, but am not ready to do that yet. I just got an iPad 2 and want to get swtiched over to iCloud, but will wait if it will make my website inaccessible.

Your iDisk, together with your website and Gallery if you have one, will be unaffected and will continue exactly as before after you migrate to iCloud.
The migration process will probably log you out of MobileMe so you may need to go to System Preferences>MobileMe and log back in to be able to access your iDisk in the Finder. Web access will be unaffected.
You will need Lion 10.7.2 on your iMac.

No audio / video through hdmi from vista home premium

dear friends
am using dv6000 with vista home premium
trying to connect tv output through hdmi but unable to show show either audio or video
with the same cable, i tried in diff laptop and it works fine
pls advise me
i have my windows and all drivers updated

When you run Lenovo driver installer downloads, the drivers are not installed. This is normal (!). The drivers are unpacked into a directory on your disk, usually under C:\DRIVERS. You have to follow the installation instructions (on the same page you downloaded from). Usually they say go to the directory where the drivers were unpacked and run setup.exe, but not always, so you have to pay attention if you choose to install the drivers this way.
The simplest way out of your situation is to manually install the Ethernet drivers, plug into the Internet, then download and install ThinkVantage System Update, and run it. It should churn away and automatically install all the right stuff.
Whether you choose to install the ThinkVantage stuff manually or automatically using System Update is up to you.
BTW it sounds like you MAY have blown away the Lenovo Rescue & Recovery partition when doing your "upgrade". If you did, and you want to get that back, you will need to call Lenovo for a recovery DVD, and start from scratch.

Interlaced HD video through HDMI FCP output

Hi,
I am having difficulties monitoring my video in FCP using a mini dIsplayport to HDMI adaptor.
My footage is shot in 1080 50i and so is my sequence.
The footage was imported via log and transfer, and FCP automatically sets the dominant field to the upper field.
The footage looks fine in the canvas, but if I want to preview the footage on my 42inch TV using the HDMI adaptor, the footage looks bad whenever there is movement (due to the interlacing). I think FCP is only outputting one of the fields, not both, through the displaypot.
I have tried setting the display settings in System Preferences to both 1080p and 1080i.
Is there anything I can do so that I can preview the footage on the big screen as well as I can on my iMac?
Many thanks

Computer video signals don't do interlacing...not properly at all. That is your issue. You are taking a computer signal from the graphics card and putting that on an HDTV. It won't display interlacing right at all.
For this you need a VIDEO capture card. One that sends out a proper video signal, and not a converted computer one. The low end cards are the Decklink Intensity and the Matrox MXO2 mini.

Is there a way to play video through HDMI and have the audio via the headphone socket?

I would like to be able to play movies through the HDMI adapter to a projector, but to have the audio via the headphone socket to a separate audio system. What I find is that as soon as I connect the projector via HDMI, the audio via the headphone sockeet is cut off. Any ideas?

Yes, there is a very simple way to get audio out through the iPad headphone jack even while connected to HDMI to play movies on a projector or TV. In fact, I just did it last night for a presentation.
With the HDMI adapter connected to the projector and your audio jack plugged into your iPad headphone jack, go ahead and start the movie. Then simply unplug the headphone jack and plug it back in. The audio is now routed through the headphone jack again.
I found I only had to do this once per session. That is, Iwas able to stop the movie, go to the beginning of my presentation, wait the 20 minutes for the meeting to begin, and when I got to the video clip the audio still played out through the headphone jack to the PA system.
I had built a presentation in a Web oriented training tool and it was running on Safari iOS7 with the latest update. I have not tried it with Keynote yet.

Can you output live video through HDMI on Vixia HF R400 without recording?

I want to connect two camcorders to a HDMI video switcher and output to HD Monitors and to a computer and use capture software such as Adobe Premiere Pro to capture video and sound. Of course, the computer will have a HDMI video capture card.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No problem. Be warned, though. As far as I know, M series camcorders are only available on secondhand markets right now, and if you happen to find, say, a Vixia HF M500 new and unopened, the after-market price might be a little higher.

Video through HDMI, audio through headphones

Because of the way my sound system/TV is set up, I can't stream sound from the TV to the sound system; the sound system is picky about its input. I'd like to be able to use the HDMI to connect the video from my iPhone to the TV, but use the standard audio jack to connect to the sound system's Audio In. Is it possible to split the audio and video to different outputs?

first of all, make sure you connect the cable before you switching on the device and connec it well.
secondly, try to update drivers and bios.

IMovie (v4) jerky video with 10.5 was fine with the original 10.3

I can't download any usable video from my video camera to my computer now that I have OS 10.5. It used to work when I had 10.3 as my O.S. How do I get my system running better because it seems like it is a problem with processor speed, or should my system be able to run 10.5 and iMovie?
Some help from Apple appreciated.

In generic terms, call it a lack (or loss) of system resources.
I haven't done a head to head comparison, but 10.5 likely uses more processor (and ram) than 10.3.
Any LT has a slow HD (5400rpm) compared to a desktop HD (7200rpm)
Video is drive and ram intensive, especially if you are trying to use imovie HD.
I found 1080 HD video on my dual 1.42 could, and often was, jerky, even if nothing else was running. 720 was its limit, even them, couldn't be too long, or the jerkiness returned.
Some things to check:
How much free drive space do you have?
On my G4, I had to keep at least 20% free, or the machine became very slow.
Run the maintenance crons, either manually, or using macjanitor, cocktail, or similar.
Check activity monitor for free/used ram, processes running that you may not need, etc. For example, my kodak software installed a "wireless listener" but I don't use that feature.
Did you clean install 10.5, or upgrade in place?
If you upgraded, check your software for updates. Some software, more than likely, share/freeware, may be unhappy with 10.5, and causing speed issues.
I've seen this on a couple of machines.
Parts of the old Norton AV package will also cause speed (or crash) issues (filesaver, for example), and may not have been removed by the Symantec AV installer.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3G and my screen will not work. When I have my sim card inserted into the phone calls go through, but I take it out and they don't go through. It was fine one minute and then the screen flashed and now it will not work. any answers?

I own a 16GB iPhone 3G. My father passed it down to me a year ago after he got the iPhone 4. I pressed the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPhone to check the time, and as I did so, the screen flashed on and off and now the screen won't work. Whenever I put my simcard in there calls will go through but I am unable to hear them, but if I take it out calls don't go through. I've tried charging it for a while, connecting to my laptop, holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10seconds to restore it, but nothing works. I've looked around and no-one'ed seemed to have this problem. I'd like to know what is wrong with my iPhone ASAP. thanks.

First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

MacBook Pro retina display goes black while outputting video through HDMI to external monitor??

I frequently connect my MacBook Pro to my 42inch Panasonic TV to watch movies/videos. I use VLC media player for all my playback. The problem I'm running into is that when I put VLC media player into fullscreen mode on my external display, my retina display goes black (I can still see the finder bar at the top and when I mouse down the dock appears but the rest of the display shows all black. If I click on Safari it will open but I can't see it on my MacBook display unless I take the external display out of fullscreen mode.
I would still like to be able to do things on my MacBook while video is playing. I've played around with the display settings but they're pretty limited and I can't figure out how to get it to work the way I'd like. I've seen people having up to 3 or 4 displays hooked up, I'm just trying to hookup one. I would consider this a severe limitation of OS X if I'm not able to separately manage the displays. Hopefully there is a setting or something I'm just not seeing. Thanks.

Yeah, fullscreen mode still doesn't play nice with multiple monitors. The common workaround is to stretch the window out to the edges of the screen instead of using actual fullscreen mode.

My video feed from youtube was fine in Snow Leopard but choppy in Lion (audio seems ok). Anyone else have the same issue? help...

Is anyone else experiencing video playback after installing Lion OX? Hopefully, Apple will fix this bug. Currently on a MacBook Pro with the icore 5 Intel processor and 4 Gs of RAM. Also, a little annoying, about having to scroll in the opposite direction (up & down) since upgrade...

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro upon which I've been running Lion for maybe a month now. I noticed for the first time today that an mp4 I rendered out of Adobe Media Encoder had the choppy playback in QT. I opened it in VLC player and it played perfectly. I rebooted into the recovery disk, ran permission repair and presto, that file now plays in QT no problem. Perhaps using VLC and/or running permission repair will solve issues for a few.
If you've never repaired permissions, it's easy. In Lion, reboot and hold down the Alt key as it is booting again. Choose the recover disk as the boot disk. Choose the last option on the list, disk utilities. Choose your main harddrive on the pane in the left (if you have several). Click on the "repair permissions" button. It may take 5 minutes to run. Quit Disk Utils & reboot. Good luck.

Online videos not playing only in safari- it's working perfect on Mozila firefox

hi i m using macbook air and suddenly its not playing online videos only in safari...
my flash player is updated

Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html with Safari
Does it show that you have Flash installed & working ?
Do you have Safari - Preferences - Security set to allow Plug-Ins ?.
If yes to all that - give an example website address where you have problems & say what happens when you try to view the video.
