VGA adapter will not output 1024x768!

I have the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter connected to an iPhone 4 and an Epson EX30 projector. Apple specifies that the VGA Adapter outputs only 1024x768 for iPad and iPhone 4. The EX30 projector has no manual resolution settings, and autodetects the iPhone 4's vga signal immediately upon starting videos or slideshows.
PROBLEM: When I run a Camera app slideshow, the photos are tiny, and surrounded by a large black border, as wide as the photos themselves. This is using photos that were shot with the high-res cam on the phone. The projector's auto-resolution info says the iPhone 4 is outputting 1280x720, instead of the correct 1024x768.
I tried an HD video shot with the iPhone 4 in the camera roll. This time it expands to meet the left and right sides of the screen, as one would expect, with a little black border on top and bottom.
Then I outputted a 1024x768 movie in iMovie and loaded it onto the phone. I played it, and the projector still reported resolution as 1280x720, and the movie was clearly surrounded on all sides by a black border, though much less of one than the photos were.
What's going on here, can someone else try the VGA output from a slideshow? I called AppleCare and they had no idea, and are going to get back to me next week.

I would like to output slideshows from the iPhone 4. What must I do? The output from the iPhone is read by my projector as 640x480! It looks terrible! Movies look okay, probably because I encoded them at 640x352. Another projector I tried claimed to receive a signal of 1280x720 but still looked awful and was still not the putative 1024x768 emitted by the iPhone 4.
I have tried an assortment of apps to view slideshows with text: goodreader, icab (supposedly fixed the vga output problem in Nov 5 update), perfect browser, atomic web browser, and all have extremely jagged fonts. The only even slight relief I got was in a photo of a magazine ad projected via the built-in photo gallery.
A related issue is that I can not seem to display high res jpg conversions of the slides through the browsers. Even if I load a 4000x2000 pixel jpg, the browsers that report resolution (iCab Mobile and Perfect Browser) never report above 1008x567 pixels.
Using the same vga adapter on my iPad yields perfect results. So I was hoping that iOS4.2, which I got today, would solve the problem. No such luck. I can not see any improvement.

  • Final cut 10.1 will not output or input thru Blackmagic intensity shuttle thunderbolt on 2013 Retina MBP while Premere Cs6 does

    Final Cut 10.1 will not output or input thru Blackmagic intensity shuttle thunderbolt on 2013 Retina MBP while Premere Cs6 does

    As I mentioned, Premere Cs6 has no issues with the BM Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt. This proves that the Mac sees the shuttle. iMovie, like FCPX 10.1 does not see it. Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a BlackMagic issue. I plan to contact BlackMagic on Monday out of curiosity. This issue is more of a surprise than a dead end. Happily there are easy workarounds for capture. I use the BlackMagic software to capture. My main issue seems to be that I am unable to use FCPX to output through the Shuttle. Fortunately I have a Mac Pro and an older BlackMagic card which has worked. It is so very nice to skim video on an SSD.  No lag and no wear and tear on a mechanical hard drive. The 1Tb Apple SSD is shockingly fast. It is a new world.

  • SCXI 1520 quarter bridge setup will not output excitation voltage, but full bridge will

    My SCXI system will not output an excitation voltage to the quarter bridge(verified with voltmeter). It works for a full bridge setup. When connected to a 'quarter bridge I' configuration, I can use MAX to null and shunt calibrate. The quarter bridge circuit appears to be balanced after the calibration, but the calibration results post a software gain factor close to zero, as well as a close to zero excitation voltage (eventhough I have the voltage configured for 5 volts). I have the SCXI 1520 module, the virtual channels, and the wiring properly configured (several years experience with this device). I'm using an old E series DAQ card AI-16XE-50, with the 50 pin cable that plugs in the back of the SCXI chassis. I noticed I had two bent pins with the cable connector module that plugs into the SCXI backplane.  I was able to straighten them, so the cable connects properly, but I suspect the bent pin incident caused electrical circuit damage. Any suggestions on trouble shooting? None of the three 1520 modules I have will output an excitation voltage for a quarter bridge.

    Sorry that I don't have an answer for you tyea, but I'm interested in your thread because I have a similar issue with a 1520. My excitation votltage, as measured with a DVM, is always 1V. I've tried 0V, 1V, 5V --- it's always 1V, on Full or Quarter bridge. I'm using a similar DAQ to yours - a PCI 16XE-10 (and a PCI-6030E on antother system).
    I don't have a lot of experience with these modules. This could be a wiring or programmatic thing I'm doing wrong.

  • My VGA adapter is not working on my iPod.. Can anyone help?

    I have recently bought a apple iPod to VGA adapter for my iPod touch 4th generation but it is not appearing on the screen or registering it. The device looks like it is registering it as a sound device because the sound control disapears when plugged in when playing a film. Can anyone help me.

    Only some apps support the video out feature such as the default Videos app. What are you trying to output to the TV?

  • VGA CRT will not "wake up".. help please. Reset display settings shortcut?

    Hello everybody,
    I have a mirror drive doors G4 Tower, Dual 1.25 GHz.
    I have an ADC and a DVI out from the computer. Just had damage to my old studio display so I am attempting to use just one CRT running from the DVI... w/ a DVI to VGA adapter.
    The first time I tried this w/ a CRT it worked fine... I played around w/ monitor settings... still worked fine. Shut down... unhooked CRT and moved that CRT away.
    Tried using it with another CRT and the new CRT never started up... remained on stand-by/sleep.
    I tried with another moniter... this time a LCD/Flatscreen... again VGA and it did the same thing, EXCEPT... this time when I connected the LCD to the adapter and then plugged the adapter into the DVI on my tower the LCD screen would turn on for about 1 second and display my login page. The picture was not perfect though... it was distorted someway.
    Went back to the first CRT... now this one didn't work.
    I think that maybe I have to reset my display settings with some sort of shortcut or something... maybe it's on the wrong frequency?
    I don't know... any help much appreciated. I hate having to use this PC.
    Thanks,
    James

    Turned out to be a faulty DVI to VGA adapter.

    Can you start up in "safe mode"? If so, you can reset your display settings and reboot. If not, you have a problem either with your video card or your DVI/VGA adaptor

  • HP Mediasmart DVD on a6750t will not output 5.1 channel data via SPDIF or HDMI

    So I got a new customized HP desktop on Friday. Started to play with it on Saturday. I called Sunday morning to request an RMA number and return shipping label. Here is my saga:
    Started HP issue calls at 3:47am FEB 15th 2009
    Gion (per rep spelling) stated return will be handled through warrantee/support department). He stated HP does not allow them to release a badge number. Ticket# xxxxxx3374.
    (Transferred to warrantee/support department)
    (The line was full of static- asked for the 800 to call back. Person said he didn’t have the number I called in on. Had to log on to www.hp.com. Found the number to call was 1 (800) 474-6836. I called this number.)
    Satya (per rep spelling) answered the line. I informed rep that I am not receiving any 5.1 output from the Blu-ray disk software that was provided by HP (HP Mediasmart DVD). Advised him that all MS products, DVD's, and HD devices were sending 5.1 channel output to my Yamaha receiver. [DVD’s are the important part. As the same drive is used for BOTH DVD and Blu-Ray, it is my opinion that the hardware is working fine.] I reiterated many times that the only thing not sending 5.1 channel data was the HP MediaSmart DVD software player for Blu-Ray disks.
    Satya ran various tests and wanted to “call back tomorrow with a solution“. He seemed to think that perhaps there was a problem with hardware and possibly I had not received something in my order.
    I clearly started I wanted a RMA number and I wanted to return the product. Satya refused saying he had to "research" the problem before he could issue the RMA number and return the product. He said he would call me between 2pm and 5pm tomorrow (MST) (I informed him it was currently 4:49 am at my location.)
    The problem is not with the hardware. All Microsoft software products that offer 5.1 channel support are sending via SPDIF (optic cable) 5.1 channel data. Again, all DVDs and other 5.1 devices (HD PVR) are sending (via SPDIF) 5.1 channel data to my Yamaha receiver. The only thing not outputting in 5.1 is the Blu-ray disk software player (HP Mediasmart DVD). DVD’s are ran using the Blu-ray drive (only one on the system) and are sending 5.1 channel data with no issues.
    Ended HP issue calls 4:52am FEB 15th 2009
    So, any other suggestions? I have tried various things like HDMI-Passthrough, HDMI-PCM, SPDIF, and 6 speaker output on the HP MediaSmart DVD Blu-ray software player application to no avail.
    This question was solved.

    Decided to try some trial Blu-ray programs to see if this issue can indeed be resolved with a different software package.
    Corel’s WinDVD9 would not play a Blu-ray disk. I received no errors. The program loaded the disk, after about 10 seconds stopped and went back to the main screen.
    Cyberlink PowerDVD had a trial limitation that does not allow Blu-ray disk playback.
    ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater (TMT) works flawlessly. Outputs in 5.1 surround with no issues, therefore my assumption that it’s a software issue is correct.
    Due to the problem being software related, I will call HP to see if there is a way they can send me a different Blu-ray software player. I like the system and do not really want to ship this back to HP. There is a sale tomarrow and I might even buy another system for my mother if HP will work this out.
    HP call start at 2:06 am FEB 16th 2009
    Called 1 (800) 474-6836. Satya answered the line. He asked if his supervisor had called me. I stated no, I had only received his call at 7:47pm and I had placed a call to Bridgette at 8:37 pm for a RMA number and shipping label.
    I advised him I was willing to try and work with HP now that I found it was indeed a software issue. I asked him if there was a possibility of getting a different software player that would work with my setup. I advised that on my own I found that ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater (TMT) trial version works (based on me installing a trial version). Its my understanding that HP provides many software titles from ArcSoft including a MediaConverter I also purchased for the desktop.
    He placed me on hold to find out.
    He said HP doesn’t carry or support ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater. He said he would have a supervisor call me back within 24 hours with a solution. I advised him to stop the RMA. He stated an RMA had not been issued yet. I gave him the RMA number I had and advised I had received a shipping label via email from Bridgette per my earlier call. He placed me back on hold to check.
    He said he cancelled the RMA and would have a supervisor call me back between 2pm - 5pm (within 24 hours).
    Call ended at 2:34 pm FEB 16th 2009
    I am guessing that HP support is not enpowered to solve a problem like mine. I would have been willing to work out something with HP but its is seeming more and more that HP really doesnt want my business. The issue here is software limitation PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I paid (in part) for a Blu-ray player that would play Blu-ray disks and output sound in 5.1. The TRIAL version of ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater works fine. Therefore the hardware is fine.
    Without a different software player shipped to me OR me buying the ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater software for 80 dollars, I am forced to listen to Blu-ray disks in 2 channels. I would like to work with HP but if HP will not work with me then I have no choice than to return the product.

  • Lock on bay adapter will not unlock

    Hey guys,
    Just got my W530 and its a great machine except for 2 things. The battery looseness which I have read is normal for one.
    The other problem is that I cant eject my hard drive bay adapter that came configured with it. The lock position from "lock" to "unlock" will not move and I have used considerable force. Any more and I feared breaking the plastic.
    Does anyone know any tricks to get this open, is it is just a matter of force? I have seen videos on the net where they open quite easily.
    Thanks alot.

    Hey Acsm,
    No Problem if you have any other questions or these steps do not solve your issue please come back and we will be more then happy to help you out.

  • Lightning adapter will not fit to iPhone 5S with apple case on the phone

    I recently purchased the lightning adapter for my iPhone 5S and the adapter does not insert properly when the Apple leather case is fitted to the phone, surely Apple do not expect one to remove the case to use the adapter?

    Yeah, it doesn't look like much, but I'm leaving in the player dock and you can't see it when it's plugged in. Better than taking case on/off all the time. I didn't wanna cut my case because I don't think there'll be enough of it left to hold together very long. Good luck with yours! I wish ape would have just included a little extension stub with their adapter.

  • 24inch iMac with Mini-Dvi to VGA adapter, is not working correctly!

    OK, I PLUGGED MY ADAPTER TO THE VGA CABLE FROM THE OPTOMA PROJECTOR AND THEN CONNECTED THE ADAPTER TO THE 24IN IMAC.

    Hi Josh,
    To start, it is considered extremely impolite to type in all capital letters as you have done. Please use all lower case, or preferably properly capitalised text, in future.
    With regards to the problem you're having.. the reason you only see the desktop background is due to screen spanning. If you want the external display to display the same thing as the internal display, go to the displays system preferences pane, and check the box that says "Mirroring"
    The color problem is probably due to a loose connection somewhere, either between the iMac and its adaptor, the adaptor and the cable to the projector, or between the projector and the cable plugging into it. If you're still having problems, try different adaptor cables, or try plugging it into a different monitor to try to work out which one is causing a problem.
    Good luck

  • Iphone 4 digital AV adapter will not display on tv while also charging iphone

    I was watching a video from my iphone 4 on my tv using the original (2011) version of the digital AV adapter (MC953ZM/A). This is the first time I've tried this. My iphone battery went dead, and cut off the video. So, I plugged the power adapter into a wall outlet and into the charging slot on the digital AV adapter. Now, when I try to restart the movie on the tv, it just plays on the iphone and never goes to the tv. I can't find an explanation for this in the documentation, so was wondering if anyone else has run into a similar problem.
    I've previously used the same digital AV adapter on my ipad 2, and been able to watch it on the tv at the same time that it was charging.
    It just seems odd to me that it works on the ipad, but not iphone.
    Or maybe I'm missing something ..
    Paul

    Try plugging in the USB mains power block and plug into the AV adaptor.
    I have found that the iPad, alone, hasn't enough power to send out a stable HDMI signal to the TV without having extra external power being plugged in.
    Good Luck!

  • Movies and Music will not output sound on home receiver

    Just hooked up Apple TV and got the wireless sync to work but why have a gadget that you cant use in suround sound? or even play at all on your stereo?. Funny that the apple never tells you in any manuals that this is a restriction or will have to wait until they upgrade their unit with decoders for gerneration 2 or 3?. Is there a way to get around this?. I cant get anything to play even in stereo mode. What's up that?. Suggestions?
    Toshiba Satellite   Windows XP  

    Funny that the apple never tells you in any manuals that this is a restriction or will have to wait until they upgrade their unit with decoders for gerneration 2 or 3?.While Apple may not have been willing to repeated emphasize this weakness or the fact that AC3 has never been natively supported by QT, most experienced users were well aware of the problem as evidenced by the many complaints and discussions in the TV Pre-Release Forum. So this should not have come as a surprise.
    Is there a way to get around this?Not in its current form.
    I cant get anything to play even in stereo mode. What's up that?.How are you connected? HDMI to HDMI -- if so what TV and model? HDMI to DVI, if so did you remember to connect the PC Audio lines? Component to component -- did you connect either analog or optical line? If using an optical input to a digital receiver, did you remember to reprogram the line if required?

  • HT1338 FCP-X 10.1.3 will not output HDMI video through Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    I can not get HDMI video output through FCP-X 10.1.3.  I tested the card and I get video through it to my HDMI monitor using Blackmagic Media Express, so I know the card, monitor, and cable are in perfect working condition.  I have windows>AV output selected in FCP-X, but can not get a signal through.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any answers out there?  I think it is a bug, and a major one at that.  I really need this for color grading and to properly view my actual clips.  

    I guess my system just did not like Wednesday.  I started it all up today and it is working like a charm, just like it should.  There is no reason it did not start yesterday as I had restarted my Mac Pro several times.  We shall leave it as unknown computer glitch as nothing else fits!  Did nothing different, don't know, but all is fine on Thursday morning.

  • Tactic 3D Wrath will not output on one speaker

    Hi,
    I have owned a pair of Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Wrath headphones for about a year now, when very recently I have noticed that they are no longer outputting on one speaker. This is not only an inconvenience, but it ruins the virtual surround sound, which ruins the point of having high end headphones such as these. I only want to RMA them as a last resort, so I wish to know if there is any way to fix the headphones before I decide to RMA them.
    Thanks,

    Hi newm,
    Just to clarify, when you say that they are "no longer outputting on one speaker",
    do you mean that either the left or right ear cup is not working any longer?
    If so, have you tried your headset with another audio source (EG: MP3 Player, Smart Device)?
    Cheers!
