TV doesn't pick up video

So I dug out my brand new iBook AV Cable and hooked my computer up to my TV through the VCR because I need to show a Keynote presentation to a small group of people and thought it'd be best to use my TV. BUT my TV and VCR only pick up the audio. (Yes, I turned everything off before I connected, and yes the VCR is set to "A/V input." And yes the cables are plugged into the "A/V in" on the back of my VCR.)
The TV and VCR (both Philips/Magnavox) are 8 years old. Before I bought a DVD player, I'd use this cable configuration to play DVDs off my old iBook G3 (Jaguar and Panther). My Philips DVD player works fine when connected to the TV thru the VCR, and I can use the VCR's video port with my digital camera, but not my computer's video (I'm pretty sure I don't have a defective cable--I bought a new one because I thought my old one was defective since I was having the same trouble with the previous cable I'd used with the G3 with my G4).
Is Tiger that much different that I need a super new TV to get my computer to talk to the display? Why would the aduio work with my iBook but not the video? Any ideas about what's going on?

The answer is that there's an incompatibility issue here, so I'm out of luck.

  • When I try to record videos, the camera doesn't pick up my voice. Is it because I have over 1000 pics/vids?? Because Siri can hear me when I talk to her.... It only doesn't work on videos

    Hi colin3!
    It sounds like you could be having an issue with one of the microphones on your iPhone 5. Your iPhone 5 has three microphones that function together and separately, depending on what is using them.
    Apple - iPhone 5 - It’s so much more. And so much less, too.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
    Enhanced audio on iPhone 5.
    Apple EarPods are just the beginning of the improved audio experience on iPhone 5. It’s designed with three microphones: one on the front, one on the back, and one on the bottom. The front and back mics work together to achieve beamforming — a technique that helps iPhone focus on sound from the desired location for clearer audio. New noise-canceling technology reduces background noise. So when you hold iPhone up to your ear in a loud room, you hear what matters most: the voice on the other end.
    There is an article available that can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further and can guide you to some next steps. That article can be found here:

  • [SOLVED] Xorg doesn't pick up any input devices from udev

    My laptop is an Acer Aspire One D255.  With a fresh install of Arch, Xorg doesn't pick up any input devices from udev.  The keyboard and trackpad both work in the linux console.  Killing gpm has no effect.  I would post my xorg log, but it's terribly uninformative.  There is no mention of anything evdev or input related other than the standard message:
    [222367.704] (II) The server relies on udev to provide the list of input devices.
            If no devices become available, reconfigure udev or disable AutoAddDevices.
    I've tried various tweaks to xorg.conf and udev rules, but nothing seems to have any effects.  I don't know if this is related, but xinput refuses to connect to the xserver, so `xinput list` doesn't provide anything useful either.
    Has anyone seen this before?

    Xorg package versions:
    http://pastebin.com/Fu2gpdYD
    udev is 166-2
    Keyboard info:
    http://pastebin.com/zkZdFTmW
    Trackpad info:
    http://pastebin.com/X9sPXcau
    Let me know if there is any other info that could be helpful.
    EDIT: thought I'd add:
    My xorg.conf and udev rules are all stock.  I've tried playing around with them to no avail so I'm back to stock settings.
    `xorg -configure` produces a broken configuration.  It tries to statically configure the keyboard and mouse, but doesn't set "AllowEmptyInput" "false" so I end up with the same problem.
    Video works flawlessly out of the box so that's not an issue.

  • I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

    I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?  Help!

    If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
    If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

  • File(FTP) Adapter doesn't pick any file from FTP server

    Hi All,
    This is a strange problem. I am trying to pick all the file from a FTP server using File Name: . . But the file adapter doesn't pick any file from the directory. When  I change it to a specific file name eg. ABC.txt then it picks up the file ABC.txt only.
    My requirement is to pick up all files in the directory and I just do not seem to understand what is wrong. I have used this wildcard option several times earlier and it always worked fine. But in this case, this does not work.
    I changed the FTP server to point to an internal FTP server and it works fine.
    I have checked all my parameters and everything looks okay. Like I mentioned earlier, if you specify exact file name, it picks up the file.
    Any guess as to what is going on here?

    Transport Protocol: FTP
    Message Protocol: File
    source directory: /test or test ( <b>either one works</b>)
    file name: * or . or *.txt <b>nothing works</b>
    server: ftp server name
    port: 21
    data connection: passive
    user: ******
    pass: ******
    connect mode: permanently
    transfer mode: text
    QOS: exactly once
    poll: 10 secs
    processing mode: archive ( <b>changed to test and delete as well, but made no difference</b>.)
    archive dir: dir path
    file type: text
    adapter specific attributes:
    checked: set adapter specific attributes
    and file name.

  • I have 2 Apple ID's. I bought all my music on first one. Now, update/sync doesn't pick up musiuc bc using a new Apple ID.... can i merge them onto my iPhone?

    I have 2 Apple ID's (the old one and my newer one - attached to a new email address).
    I bought all my music on first one.
    Update/sync doesn't pick up music bc using a new Apple ID.... can I merge them onto my iPhone?

    No.
    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    All content is forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.

  • Itunes doesn't play the video anymore

    Help! ITunes doesn't play the video clips anymore just the sound works.
    I've restarted, quit the other applications but no result.
    What can I do ?
    Thank you for your suggestions.
    ITunes 8.1
    QuickTime 7.6
    Mac OS 10.5.6
    Mac Pro 2x3 GHz
    RAM 8 Go

    If you are playing through remote speakers, iTunes 8.1 will not play the video. Previous versions would play fine using only the computer's speakers, but 8.1 requires the remote airtunes speakers be deselected.

  • Iphoto'09 doesn't import the video made by Kodak DX6490 since update 10.6

    Iphoto'09 doesn't import the video i made on my Kodak DX6490 since i've installed mac os 10.6 with an update from 10.5.8
    The videos i made are .mov and with iphoto'09 and Leopard 10.5.8, it was possible to import them.
    Have you seen this problem ? Any idea to correct it ?

    TD,
    My comment regarding this problem was only meant to support your solution (test), not disparage it.
    I was briefly trying to explain that I believe (anecdotally) Snow Leopard is not functioning correctly in regard to movie imports using normal import procedures.
    At first I assumed it was a problem with iPhoto 06, and ordered a copy of iLife 09 for my daughter. Then I found this thread and IMHO it confirmed my workaround (kludge) solution. I would wager that she will have the same problem with iPhoto 09.
    It should "just work."
    I will report the outcome.
    Cheers

  • Change Account Workflow in CUP - Doesn't pick up existing values for an Acc

    Hi,
    When using the change account option available in the CUP(5.3 SP 7), I expected the system to populate the user details as they exist in the provisioning system once I enter the account details that need a change. We have the 'Search' and 'User Details' Data source configured to the same SAP R/3 system.
    For eg, when requesting for a new account, I've chosen an Employee Type attribute as 'Non-Employee' (SAP delivered request attribute) and entered some values for my custom attributes .
    And when I chose to change the same user account, I notice that the system doesn't pick up the existing values for any of the attributes and render them. For the Employee Type attribute, it shows the default value and for the custom fields, they are shown blank!!!!
    It does seem like the user attribute values from R/3 are being picked up and displayed correctly, but the ones from GRC Database are left out.
    I believe this to be a bug and does anyone experienced  this issue and found a fix????
    Thanks,
    Anil

    Hi Alpesh,
    Thanks for your response.
    This brings up a basic question on the repository for saving user attribs...ie. does all these need to be saved on R/3? Assuming yes depending on our current configuration(We have the 'Search' and 'User Details' Data source configured to the same SAP R/3 system), do we have a standard field for saving the 'Employee Type' attrib in SAP?. I did perform a field mapping of a custom attirb to one of the SAP fields in the user master, and get it saved during user provisioning. But it doesn't pick it up from there when I perform a change account. Seems it's missing that reverse mapping. And I've chosen the 'Field Type' of the custom filed to Text as to enable free text during new account request.
    Hope you may find something more.
    Regards,
    Anil

  • How to pick a video from gallery with wp8.1 and wp8.0

    I found this article
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj655411.aspx
    where a file is filtered by type and picked up.
    Is it possible to do that with video in wp8.1?
    I tried with a third party library (cordova) and is not possible to pick video from gallery in wp8.0, can you confirm that there is no way to do that (pick a video from gallery) in wp8.0?
    Many thanks 

    Hello,
    The
    FileOpenPicker can be used to open any type of file including video files. You can have the picker default to the video library by setting the
    SuggestedStartLocation property of the picker to
    VideosLibrary.
    I hope this helps,
