Turning off video mirroring

I have an imac G5, and I just got an apple video adapter so that I can watch DVDs and Quicktime movies and such on my old TV via the composite video connector. Works great, except that when I plug the connector in, my imac automatically reduces the resolution on it's own screen to match the TV. I understand the reason for this, but it seems like a bad solution to have to unplug the adapter every time I want to use my imac and plug it in every time I want to watch a movie. Is there any way to leave the connector in, but turn video mirroring off? (I've checked the monitors control panel, but no dice)
Thanks

Sys prefs. click the display button.
Select detect displays/tv's etc.
Then after going off and on again there should be a option for arrangement as this is where the mirror displays is.
This then also opens a window on the Tv as well as the standard on on your Apple.
I know for the Pbook you press function "fn" + F7 as this adjusts mirroring.

I can not find the display preferences tab to turn on video mirroring. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to get my Macbook Pro to stream to a Samsung Smart TV. I just came from the Apple Store and they told me I need to turn on Video Mirroring. I went to System Preferences/ Display but can't find Display Preferences or the box to check for Video Mirroring. The only tabs are for Gather Windows and Detect Displays. It does detect the Samsung TV but how do I turn on the Video Mirroring? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using Lion (if that means anything.)

Does the problem happen only with specific sites? If so, what sites? Also, have you tried testing the iPad on a different network to see if the problem goes away? It is possible that you may have some kind of ad blocker or anti-virus software that is doing something to prevent the ads from appearing on the laptop, which would explain why you're seeing what is probably a network-related problem only on iOS.
Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, or have otherwise accepted the installation of an app from a website rather than the App Store, there's no known adware or malware capable of infecting it. If you have done one of those things, you should restore your iPad to factory defaults, and should not restore anything from a backup.

Turning Off Video

Is there a way to temporarily turn off video in final cut, so that when I'm working in a timeline with unrendered effects, I can work faster. Having the computer try to render these files in real time slows me down, and there are times when I don't need to be monitoring video. I used to use avid, and I could do this by tunring off the video monitoring buttons in the timeline, but in final cut, this can cause you to loose render files.
Thanks!

In the RT menu in the upper left of the timeline, there is an option called PLAY BASE LAYER ONLY. If you have clips with effects on them that aren't rendered, FCP will play that clip without showing the effect and without showing the UNRENDERED warning. This is handy if you add filters that take forever to render, but then you want to review the cut before you render.

Turn off display mirroring once and for all ?

Hi there,
I have a 13'' macbook pro, recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now every time I connect my external screen (a DELL E198WFP connected with the DVI output) the display starts in "mirroring" mode. I have to manually turn mirroring off every time. According to the documentation, MacOS is supposed to "remember" my settings the next time I connect the screen but it doesn't work. Previously I had a Macbook Air with Leopard and I had not this issue (the screen would start with mirroring turned off when I connect it). Is there any possibility to disable mirroring once and for all, as I never use this feature ? Thanks

Ok since you upgraded your system you might have a issue with your preference files for the displays. you need to Delete these two files reboot and Zap your PRAM. (Print this out)
#1. Delete these files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver"
#2. Turn off Computer
#3. Reset your PRAM by:
(From Apples instruction page)
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Is there any way to turn on Video Mirroring if my iMac display is FUBARed?

Okay, my iMac display is permanently frakked.
Nothing else is wrong with the system (the tech assured me, anyways). Haven't yet used Firewire Target Mode to check yet.
Regardless, I have all the proper cables and adapters--and external VGA monitor--but no way (that I know of) to turn video mirroring on.
If I can't get an external display working, I'll be out either $900 to repair the display or $3000 for a completely new system.
Ideas?

Tried it and no go.
Not sure what's wrong.
Connect the VGA cord to the Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter
Connect to external monitor.
Boot up iMac with adapter attached. Cmd-F1. Nothing.
Boot up iMac with adapter unattached, attach after boot is finished, Cmd-F1. Nothing.
Repeat, using a different USB port for my keyboard. Nothing (x2).
Repeat again, using a third USB port for my keyboard. Nothing (x2).
If I'm not doing anything wrong**, I can only conclude the techie was incorrect and there is something else besides "just the display" that is wrong with the iMac.
**Is the monitor even connected correctly if I continuously get a "no signal" message? Or is that only because the mirroring isn't enabled?

How can I turn off the mirroring image function at facetime

Hi there, I found that the FaceTime is showing a mirrored image and there is no option to turn off in there. Is there any way that I can turn off this function.
FYI, I have to connect a new webcam as a front camera on my Macbook Air and show the whiteboard writing via FaceTime but this combination shows a inverted writing..

It's not something that you turn off, there isn't a setting for it, you will just have to try to avoid touching the top part of the screen. Apart from that you can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Can't turn off video preview.

I like to view my folders and files in the "column" style. Back on Snow Leopard, in Finder when I would click on a video file, the preview column would appear. Originally, when it would appear, it would begin to load a preview of whatever video I'd clicked, and I found when it did this it would stall/freeze my computer for a few seconds, which I found annoying. Luckily you could click on the arrow next to "Preview" and it would hide the preview video and stop it from loading, therefore stopping the freezes.
However, now that I've moved to Mountain Lion, I can no longer hide that preview, so every time I click on a video in Finder, it starts up a preview and everything freezes, and there's no little arrow so I can't hide it.
I did find the option to completely hide the preview column, but I don't want to do that because there's a lot of information about files in the preview column (name, size, modified etc.). So, is there any way I can just turn off the video preview like I could before?
Thanks!

Turn Off Video Camera Stabilizer?

After reviewing a video I'd recorded on my iPhone 4S, I noticed that the camera seemed to be stabilizing the video, since I had moved the camera around while recording.
If anyone has ever used the "stabilizing" feature when editing a video on YouTube, they notice how the new "stabilized" video has a somewhat choppy fluidity, because the feature is trying to balance out the movements of your camera. It sometimes, in my opinion, ends up looking worse before you tried to stabilize the video.
Anyhow, I noticed the same stabilizing-type feature when reviewing my video on the iPhone. Except, I didn't turn on any stabilizing feature and I'm wondering if iPhone video recorders are made with an auto-stabilizer. And if so, is it possible to turn off? And how?

Hi jihanemo,
I'm not sure if the stabilization feature is an option that can be turned off. I've roughly checked my phones settings and saw no setting to disable it. Since I think the stabilization feature is part of the software within iOS, you might have better luck using a third party application from the app store that doesn't stabilize videos or images.
I hope this helps, if not please don't hesitate to ask! I don't mind

Turn off video output

Hello,
I want to know if there is a way of turning off one of the two video outputs while they are both connected. I have one with my lcd monitor, and the other with the lcd tv only used when watching movies. But even with the tv off, it seems that still consumes video ram, and the system acts like it were in use. So I want to know if I can turn it off from the preferences while still connected.
Thanks,
Luciano

The power switch on some displays do work like that, meaning when the monitor is powered off, the Mac treats it as if it has been disconnected. But not all monitors work like that. If that isn't the way yours are working, unfortunately I don't know any other way to make it work outside of unplugging the display's video connection from the mini.

Problem turning off video`s...sound continues to play

Hi, I am experiencing a problem when turning off a video and switching to listening to music - the sound continues to play over the music track or audiobook - is anyone else experiencing this problem? The only way I can get round it is by pressing the next/fast forward button....but then of course when I want to watch the remainder of the video it restarts from the beginning, not from where I left off! Any help would be appreciated.

Turning off video feeds

On a group video call, can people with slow internet connections not only turn off their cameras, but also the video feeds from everyone else?

Hi, cropwithcare,
No; there is no provision within the Skype software to perform the action you describe.

Turn off videos in safari?

Someone asked me if there is a way to turn off or block videos that are shown in safari other than the safari prefs which cannot be locked? This person wants to stop their children from accessing videos in safari.
thx

Thank you, Kevin. On my old, very-limited WAP phone I would go to [mobile.cnn.com|http://mobile.cnn.com], which refuses to load on a regular web browser (including the iPhone, of course). [cnnmobile.com|http://cnnmobile.com] works great when loaded from the iPhone. That solves my immediate problem.
A [Google search|http://www.google.com/search?q=iphone+bookmarklets] does turn up a lot about bookmarklets on the iPhone. I guess I'll have to do some research.
My original point is valid, though. An iPhone stuck on EDGE should have an easy option to turn off graphics. I'm sending [iPhone Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html] to Apple and would encourage others to do so.

Adobe Gamma problem - turned off video card

A friend (HA!) was color balancing the monitor and accidentally hit the button to turn off the video card - Now the screen is blank. Anyone know how to turn it back on when you can't see the screen? Runnng Windows XP home edition

I've never seen any evidence that Photoshop will remote OpenGL operations across an RDP link.
What functionality does a program like the RealTek OpenGL Extensions Viewer report is available to the remote session? The Microsoft software OpenGL (1.1) maybe?

Why can't I turn off video stabilisation on the iphone 5?

I'm sorry but this feature is absolute garbage. If I wanted to stablilise my video I'd do it myself, or hold my hand steadier. You basically can't film anything worthwhile without this crap ruining my video. As it's completely automatic, it basically doesn't work...like the auto focus on a camera. It's just terrible.
Apple have desperately tried to advertise the camera on the phone to be great, so great you can shoot your own video projects on it...but you can't, because of this **** auto stabilising nonsense. Some people might want to use it, like those with overly shaky hands, or those who don't mind their video digitally zoomed in, but I do not.
Please, give me the ability to turn it off so I can do a simple track of someone skating down the street.
Thanks.
p.s. I also saw someone say "Why would you want to turn it off? That's like asking for a single core processor as opposed to the current one." No, this isn't the same thing. Idiot.
p.p.s Also, if I can turn this off and I'm just too ******** to find it, then fine, I apologise for my outburst.
