Using a video adapter with Leopard

I have a fellow teacher who has always used her eMac with a video adapter to connect to her TV to share with her students what was on her screen. During the summer, her eMac was updated to Leopard. Now nothing will show on her TV. The adapter works on an eMac running Tiger, but not the Leopard machine. I see where early complaints of Leopard included not being able to use a video adapter, but is there now a "work around"? The computer recognizes the fact that an adapter is used if you click on the display icon on the menu bar, but nothing shows up on the TV - any ideas???

I'd like to know about a workaround too. My guess is there isn't one if the eMac only has one video output. What it seems that Leopard does is try to recalibrate settings for every new monitor, and it doesn't work well with the video adapter. If you're able to view the eMac WHILE the monitor adapter is connected, maybe you can try changing the settings under "displays" (bring colors down from millions to thousands, change from NTSC to PAL, etc...see if any of that gives you TV picture.)

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?

  • Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

    Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

    Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
    But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

  • Can I use the "Apple DVI to Video Adapter" with the GeForce 8600M GT?

    It's all in the subject, folks. I've got an nVidia card, not ATI. Should I go ahead and buy the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to connect my MacBook Pro to my CRT Sony TV?
    Thanks.
    PS My May 2005 Powerbook G4 had both a DVI and sVideo connector. I used to use the latter to connect to view on the TV. Now, my Powerbook is dead...

    The first review posting on the product page is:
    +dosen't work on mac pro with nvidia!!!!!+
    +Written by PH from hamburg+
    +August 27, 2007+
    Which suggests no. I have heard from an Apple Store "genius" that it does.
    Both are n=1, so I'd suggest a call to the Apple Store sales line (even if you don't order it that way).

  • Using Video Adapter with eMac

    I've searched all over and cannot find any information on this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I would like to send video from my eMac to my TV. I purchased the Apple Video Adapter and an RCA cable. I have the adapter plugged into the computer, and the cable plugged into the adapter and the TV. I restarted the computer. The TV (on its video setting) shows static with the adapter plugged in; if I take it out, it goes black, so clearly some signal is passing through. However, I cannot figure out how to get the eMac to recognize the new "display".
    The discussions on the subject mention using a "detect display" fuction. I don't see anything called "detect display" in the display preferences. I do have it set to show the displays in the menu bar, and the drop-down menu only shows the eMac and its resolutions. The preferences, also, only gives me the info for the eMac.
    Am I missing something? Is there a setting I need to change? Should I assume the adapter is defective (I gather this has happened to others)?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    eMac 700 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I don't think the problem is at the TV's end, as it's clearly getting some sort of signal on the video setting I'm using (there's static when it's connected to the computer, and nothing when it's not). The problem is that the computer doesn't see that it's connected to another display.
    Something I realized, comparing computers (we also have a Mini)--the Mini's display preferences window has a "detect displays" button that the eMac's doesn't. They're both running 10.4.3. Any ideas (anyone?) why the eMac's missing it?
    Thanks again!

  • DVI to Video Adapter with NVIDIA 8800 GT not working

    Hi all. I have the new Mac Pro Octo (mar '08) with the NVIDIA GFORCE 8800 GT card. I cannot find anywhere what may be wrong. Only on the Apple Website for the adapter that the only Mac Pro it works with is the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT). However, both tech support and Apple's Store staff said this would work, prior to buying it. Well, my computer does not recognize the TV monitor hooked up via S-Video. I've powered everything down, restarted, unplugged and replugged in both orders, and switched inputs on the TV and receiver both. Nothing.
    Any one know if this does or does not work with this computer???
    Thanks.

    Never mind. Found this out via Apples own website. Thanks APPLE TECH SUPPORT and STORE STAFF for getting me to buy a useless cable!
    Mac Pro Computers (January 2008)
    The Mac Pro computers with Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 Series microprocessors were introduced in January 2008. The Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem interfaces to the North Bridge via a 16-lane PCIe 2.0 bus. For information on the PCI Express graphics support and expansion, refer to PCI Developer Note.
    The following sections describe the Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem.
    Graphics Cards
    Supported graphics cards have dual-link DVI connectors, supporting 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays on both ports.
    For information on video memory, power, and features refer to Table 1.
    All of the supported graphics cards support dual displays in either extended desktop or video mirroring mode; for more detail, see “External Display Modes.”
    Table 1 Supported Graphics Cards

    NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 (configure to order)
    1536 MB (GDDR3)
    175 W
    The GeForce 8800GT graphics card requires that a booster cable be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. The Quadro FX 5600 graphics card requires two booster cables be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. For additional information, refer to the PCI Developer Note.
    The Mac Pro supports the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display at a resolution of 1680 x 1050, the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 1920 x 1200, and the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 2560 x 1600. All ports support a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 at 32-bit with 85 Hz refresh rate. Multiple PCI Express graphics cards can support three or more displays.

    Video Monitor Ports
    The Mac Pro has a DVI connector for an external video monitor. For a description of the DVI connector, refer to Figure 4 and Table 30.
    The graphics data sent to the digital monitor use transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS). TMDS uses an encoding algorithm to convert bytes of graphics data into characters that are transition-minimized to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) with copper cables and DC balanced for transmission over fiber optic cables. The TMDS algorithm also provides robust clock recovery for greater skew tolerance with longer cables or low-cost short cables.
    Note: The Mac Pro computer includes a DVI to VGA Adapter.
    DVI to Video Adapter
    The Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card supports an optional DVI to S-video/composite adapter that provides S-video and composite output to a PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR. When a display is connected by way of the video adapter, the computer detects the type of adapter and enables the composite and S-video outputs. The settings for the resolutions and standards (NTSC or PAL) are then selectable in the Display pane in System Preferences.
    Note: The DVI to Video Adapter does not come packaged with the Mac Pro computer and must be purchased separately.
    The video output connector is a 7-pin S-video connector. Figure 5 shows the arrangement of the pins and Table 31 shows the pin assignments on the composite out and S-video connector.
    The Mac Pro computer provides video output at picture sizes and frame rates compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards; the picture sizes are listed in Table 32. Those picture sizes produce under-scanned displays on standard monitors.

  • Using both MDP adapter with DVI to HDMI adapter supplied by Apple

    I may be missing something here but I want to be able to use both the above adapters in order to run two DVI screens on my late 2012 Mini. Because of the shape of the HDMI-DVI adapter supplier by Apple being too wide, the MDP adapter will not physically fit into the port situated next the HDMI port. This seems crazy! Does anyone have any ideas please?
    Thanks in advance.

    My MDP is an Apple product and the same as the link you posted.
    My HDMI to DVI adapter supplied with the Mini is this one here, I believe.
    http://uk.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/Video-Adapter/HDMI-to-DVI-D-Video-Cabl e-Adapter-M-F~HDMIDVIMF
    The shape of the HDMI to DVI adapter will not allow the MDP to be inserted into the back of the Mini.

  • Video out after using Apple Video adapter.

    Hi, I have an Mac G5 17" iSight and after I mirror'd my screen to my TV using an Apple video adapter (something I've done hundreds of times before) the computer screen wouldn't change back to the general screen resolution (also something it used to do before). After restarting my computer in an atempt to fix the problem the video was all black (nothing at all, i.e no faint glow) but the computer started up correctly and I could interact with it and control it thru remote access from another mac.
    Restarting the PRAM did'nt change anything.
    But then after reseting the SMU the computer got worse! Now it just powers up and after som or se time the fans start working real hard but nothing else happens. I don't want to keep them running for more than half a minute because I'm afraid the logic board will burn up if it hasn't already.
    What could have happend? Is it fixable?
    Please help....

    I answered my own question (this is my post after finding the answer in another thread). Hope this helps someone.
    Woohoo! Thanks for the post- I have a 5G with the Apple A/V cable, but I couldn't get the video to work, just the audio on the tv. I didn't have "TV Output" selected "On." Now I don't have to return the product. Man, this 5G is amazing.

  • Can I boot up a Tiger Disk IMage HDD using my Macbook Pro (with Leopard)

    Before my Ibook G4 crashed (tiger 10.4) I made a disk image using super duper. I purchased a Macbook Pro (leopard) and when I tried booting the disk Image I had made using superduper on a smart disk firewire drive, it would not recognize it.
    I held the option key when booting but only the Mac drive on the Macbook pro showed up. Is that a bug/flaw with leopard that you can't even boot an external HD disk image made using Tiger?
    I know the disk image is good because it boots on my G5 which has tiger installed.
    Thanks for a reply..

    Allan Eckert and BCC99,
    Thanks for the responses. I REALLY appreciate it becuase I usually spend a lot of time spinning my wheels trying to make something work that doesn't.
    The reason I wanted to boot it was that my old IBOOK crashed and I wanted to boot up the old "clone" (not disk image - my poor choice of words) so that I could view some of my older emails that contained information that I wanted to view. I know I could do it on my G5 but I wasn't home and wanted to try my new Macbook.....
    Thanks again...

  • Using file receiver adapter with a different user

    Hello.
    I have a simple question (at least I think it is)
    Can I use a file receiver adapter (where the transport protocol is NFS - not FTP)
    so that a different user will access the directory (not the usual SAPServiceSID)?
    I don't see any place for using username and password, and using the FTP protocol is not possible
    because of security reasons.
    Any help Appreciated.

    Hello.
    Thanks for the quick answers.
    I'm sorry for not being clear enough before.
    I have a microsoft network share on a different server then the PI.
    When I use the path:
    server\share
    I manage to successfully put a file via the file receiver adapter, with NFS as the transport protocol.
    However in order to do this, the owner of the share had to give credentials to the user: SAPServiceSID of my PI system
    which is an active directory user.
    The owner wants me to use a local user instead.
    Can this be done with a local user?

  • Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

    Hi all,
    Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
    I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
    From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...).  So all firewall issues and communications are fine
    Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
    FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
    Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
    No messages appear in the RWB
    Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
    Regards,
    Mike

    Thanks for your responses.
    I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
    Scenario 1
    When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg <b>/Folder/Subfolder</b> the error message is as follows
    <b>EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified</b>
    Scenario 2
    When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg <b>Folder/Subfolder</b> a different error message is returned
    <b>Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified</b>
    At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
    Questions
    I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
    I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
    The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
    I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
    To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
    Has anyone experienced these issues?
    Please advise on next course of action?
    Regards,
    Mike
