Video as wallpaper...

hi guys
this one's a real important issue : how do i go about setting videos as wallpapers on my 27'' iMac ? preferably with no sound....
i want to make some slow moving videos specifically for this purpose to avoid having too much movement as a desktop background - which i think could be tiring & distracting...
any thoughts , ideas, suggestions ?
would this drain up too much resources ?
thanks in advance...
Nuno

well it seems i've found the answer to my plight right in the downloads section - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/
i'm going to try the first one & see how it goes
thanks for the input anyway !

How to set up a video wallpaper

Hello.
I am a beginner MacOS and I would like to put up a video in the background if possible. I'm looking for a solution and not a formal bidoullage (French slang). My English is not good but the automatic translator thank you ...

OK for the screen saver but I do not see the desktop.
I wish I had a video screen with all the icon and the tool bar above. Thank you for your reply.

Iphone video wallpaper

are there any video wallpapers coming out for iphone4 or is there a way to create them?

Only possible on the iPhone - Harry Potter edition
(btw, the Maps app on that version is really cool too)

Annoying mini-DVI to video adapter...

I've been using a mini-DVI to video adapter, mostly to watch DVD's since my PS2 broke, for about a month. However, tonight when I tried to set it up, it didn't work.
I plugged in the cable and the adaptor and the only thing that would show up on the screen is my wallpaper-- not my cursor, or the dock, or the icons on the desktop. Just the desktop wallpaper. And nothing else is showing up.
Is the port fried? Or is it the adaptor? Which is more likely/how can I tell/how can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

The desktop background is visible, so it is working, but in extended desktop mode, if you move the mouse or drag a window far enough it will show up on that display.
options:
-close the lid, when the internal display shuts off the external will become the primary display, do you have an external keyboard/mouse to wake up the computer when the lid is closed?
-Use System Preferences: Displays: Arrangement to drag the white menu bar (and Dock) to the other monitor.
-Also, in System Preferences: Displays, check the Mirror displays to force both the laptop and the external display to show the same thing.
I'm not sure how your settings got changed or what you did before, but it's possible that something reverted to a default setting if you did some software update or something.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

How can I get my 2010 macbook pro to send signal out through the mini display port?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1). Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor. There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred. Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?

Creative ZEN V lost video with the panda!

Please, help me! I've just formated my mp3 accidentally. It's stupid I know, but there were some pic and videos I rly like and they already were on this mp4 when I bought it. There was video with panda and funny music and some pictures for the wallpaper. I can't find them in the internet. If someone had any creative's wallpapers or this video with panda for zen V, please contact me cause I really need them. Please...

The other problem is the video i downloaded from zencast is not able to be played in V Plus and cannot be converted. It is weird that such service is bundled with a player that cannot play the video.
Anyone have face similar problems? Would like to know how to resolve the video conversion problems.
I've got the same issues... but remember that the ZenCast videos are also there for Zen Visual:M and Zen Visual:W and all that, not just for the Zen V Plus.
I've been able to successfully convert movies from http://www.pocketmovies.net/. But that's about all. Oh and one successful attempt to get RocketBoom on my little device!

Screen display looks fuzzy using xf86-video-intel on a HP Pavilion 23

Hello,
First off I want to say, thank you for Arch! Been using some distros on and off and I think I found my /home! I made a full plunge into Linux a bit ago after some Windows 8.1 issues, switched to Arch and not looking back. Anyways, So far all my computers are either Arch or Manjaro which I am moving more towards straight arch as Manjaro does have some issues when updating your system (dependency loops). All and all not bad, just liking the full control of a pure system then building from scratch.
Ok, the issue at hand. I have removed Windows 8.1 from my HP All in One Pavilion 23 machine....what a nightmare that was.... Everything was good after turning off secure boot. I installed Arch Linux (3.14.4-1) x86_64, and I am having issues getting the xf86-video-intel driver to play nice with X.
I have taken a screenshot:
Screenshot
I notice this starts right after the choosing the Arch Linux from the boot option menu. It starts the load nice and crisp but after a second the screen flickers with some lines at the top of the screen, random colors, only about the top 3rd of the screen. This modules begin to load but the terminal text looks blocky and horrible.
I am using Openbox 3.5.2-6 with slim 1.3.6-4. Running xorg-server 1.15.1-1 and xorg-server-utils 7.6-3 with all the dependencies of course.

# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="i915"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may

# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the

# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default

## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.

## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.

I saw your post, and had found it incredulous that you have a 1920x1080 display. A bit of research and I found I was wrong.
So, it appears you are driving the panel at its native resolution. Unfortunately, trying to determine what you mean by "Fuzzy" is probably going to be like trying to nail Jello to a tree. But, let's give it a shot. Is it fuzzy before you start X? Are lines and shapes fuzzy? Or is it just text that is fuzzy?
If it is just fonts, it could be a problem with hinting. Hinting is where the edges of fonts are deliberately fuzzed and feathered to get the kerning correct when the physical pixels of the display don't quite line up. This works well, unless the thing doing the hinting does not understand the geometry of the display. In a color LCD, each pixel is actually made up of smaller sub pixels, generally three -- A red, a green, and a blue. Green is usually in the middle. Some displays have Two greens per pixel, arranged RGBG. Some displays even have yellow subpixels. Sometimes the subpixels are arranged left to right, sometimes they are arranged top to bottom. Long story short, if you have hinting enabled, but the geometry is configured incorrectly, bad things happen. Take a look at this wiki article

All pictures/videos ever taken with my iPad are missing

I have the newest version of iPad (purchased in June). Recently my camera app was not working (it's the third time it's happened since I got my iPad) so I reset my iPad without erasing media/content, because that's the only thing I've found that will make the app start working again.
Anyhow, when I tried to sync using my most recent iClouds backup, every picture and video I've ever taken with my iPad was gone. All music and other photos (from my computer to iPad) synced just fine, but my iPad acts as if I've never taken a picture or video using "Camera," "Photo Booth," or "Instagram" and the pictures I created as wallpaper using the "Granimator" app are no longer there either except for the one I currently had/have as wallpaper. When I go to try and change my wallpaper though, the picture I currently have is not available as a picture option, so I don't know why it's still my wallpaper. I had some of the pictures I had taken with my iPad backed up in iPhoto on my computer, but even those don't automatically sync now. In fact, whereas iPhoto used to automatically open (along with iTunes) when I plugged my iPad into my computer, it doesn't open at all automatically. It did the first couple of times I tried (post reset) but it only ever came up with dotted outlines of where some pictures and videos on my iPad should have been, and would never retrieve the images so I could save them on my computer.
What the heck happened? I never deleted the photos, and the odd dotted outlines that used to appear in iPhoto post reset make me think that my data is somewhere floating around. After one sync, I even had two images "reappear" in my iPad photostream (two of the videos that aren't there now) but when I tried to open them, I got a message saying that the "URL" could not be read. I even reset with an iCloud backup from a few days before I initially reset, and the pictures/videos did not return.
I'm hesitant to take any pictures or videos now with my iPad and that really upsets me. Can I figure out where those pictures and videos disappeared to?
Please let me know too if you know if this is an iPad, iCloud, or camera issue. Normally, I would set up an appointment to go into an Apple store, but I'm living in Thailand and I know I won't find someone that speaks enough English well enough to help me with my problem, and I certainly can't explain my exact issue in Thai.
Thanks...

First double click the home button and swipe to close any open apps. Next reset, press and hold the home and power buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Try taking a photo.

How to switch off wallpaper?

A few months ago I bought a new widescreen, flat panel monitor. When I hooked it up to my Mac, everything was great. The wallpaper I was using stretch out to fill the 1900x1200 resolution perfectly (I recently upgraded the video card to a 256MB VRAM AGP).
But a few weeks ago I made the mistake of picking a different wallpaper from the pre-installed selection. Suddenly, none of the wallpapers (even the one that was there originally) are stretching to fill the screen.
To make matters worse, when I go to choose one of the solid colors, it doesn't tile. I just get a little square of color in the middle of the screen.
Now, on all of my various Windows machines (back to Win95) I have the ability to choose any color my video card can handle and set it as the background, but it looks like OSX keeps me locked into about a dozen preset colors, and there's no way to just have the wallpaper "off," which means I have to have this completely obnoxious desktop with an image that doesn't fill the screen.
I'm getting really frustrated with the lack of "hands on" overrides offered by this OSX system, and I'm hoping that someone out there knows how to get past the simplistic "control panel" of OSX and actually get some things tweaked out.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

If you look at this article (toward the bottom)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304730
there is a picture showing a drop down box where you can choose to fill, tile, or center. However this box does not appear for all images. I think if the image is larger than the pixel size of the display, it just does fill. Or of the image is really small, it just does tile. I'm not sure why you are not getting this selector box, but I have a guess.
After installing the new video card, did you reset the PRAM. This document shows what is stored in PRAM for Mac OS X.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86194
It includes display information. It may have become "corrupted" due to the change in video cards. Here's how to reset PRAM.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Maybe that will get things in synch.
In Mac OS X, there is no "background" and separate desktop image. As you noticed, even the solid colors are small images that are tiled. Here's information about adding more colors of your own.

Problems connecting 1 monitor and 1 TV to 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card.

I recently purchased an Hp h8-1360t computer with a 2gb DDR3 AMD Radeon 7570 video card and an Hp 2711 LED monitor. I am having problems connecting both the monitor (dvi) and a 50" Sony LCD TV (hdmi) with a 50' hdmi cable. When starting the computer, once the initial Win 7 boot up is finished, the monitor screen goes blank, except for the mouse pointer. When I turn on the tv and select the correct input source a normal Win 7 screen with icons appears on the tv. Only the wallpaper picture displays on the monitor and no icons. If play a dvd movie it will only show up on the tv with the sound coming from the speakers attached to the computer.
I would like to retain control of the computer using the monitor. I tried to set the monitor up as the primary display source using the monitor configuration menu,but it won't allow me to save the dvi connection as the primary display source. The documentation that came with the computer and what I was able to find on the Hp site is lacking....to say the least.
Any assistance with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

First I would disconnect the TV HDMI cable from the computer. That should return the PC screen to normal. May have to reboot to get normal. Then reconnect the TV HDMI and go into the screen setup routine, paying attention to which screen is supposed to display what information.

How do I get component video (YPbPr) from my iMac mini display port?

I have a converter cable with dini DP on one end and HDMI on the other, this goes into an HDIM conveter box that converts HDMI to Component. THe TV does not recogize the signal as compatable.

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

IMac 24" Vista Boot Camp Video Display Problems

Just recently, as of Christmas 2007, I have had a new alumninum 24" iMac. Great machine! One annoying problem (really annoying) is under Boot Camp's Vista OS. I have a valid Vista Home Edition installed and operating quite fine.
Here is the issue:
After running in the Vista partition for more than an hour unattended (screensaver is set to blank or any other), the display is all distorted and wavy.
I have seen people mentioning video issues, and I have reinstalled Leopard BootCamp drivers, manually installed drivers as advised by others on this forum, yet nothing works. I keep getting the same ol' problem.
To explain in more detail: The screen is very pixelated and color gradients (i.e. standard Windows Vista wallpaper looks like an ugly histogram graph). When it's usually very smooth gradients of color, it's very sharp and distinct "smearing" appearance. Text and icons look terrible too!
As any tech support person would say: "Just reboot!"
Sure, rebooting clears the issue and it looks great again. Just give it an hour or two and the same ugly discoloration is back.
Anyone out there having issues with this in Vista? Of course Apple really promoted their new iMacs to run Windows under bootcamp (but they won't support it). Poor marketing if you asked me (it is their hardware).
Under the Leopard partition, I have not seen any issues with this display resolution. Leads me to believe it is for sure a windows driver issue. I have fiddled with just about all of the ATI Radeon HD drivers but cannot come up with a solution.
Any help, or updates on the drivers that may solve this would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try Apple again. Wish me luck.
Machine Details:
24" iMac (newer Alumninum - December 2007)
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
OSX 10.5 Leopard w/ Boot Camp Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit)

So, after three days with new drivers, I may have found an ATI driver package that might be working.
Here is what I downloaded and installed:
8-3vista32_dd59752.exe
Found here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista32/common-vista32
I installed the package and by default set the ATI graphics card driver as an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" - so far so good!
I will keep you updated if this ends up not working, but so far no smearing screens and gradient issues within Vista (32-bit) Home Edition on my iMac.
Just thought I would share - again, Apple was unable to help. On my own.
Let me know if others have success with this.

Cannot import any video files.

I installed CS3 Master Collection, I tried importing a video file into Encore and Premiere Pro and it worked fine. That was 2 days ago, now when I try to import the same video file into either program the 'Import as asset' window pops up as normal but just sits there and does nothing. Then the program comes up with (not responding) and I have to shut it down. I have not changed or installed anything new on my machine.
Machine Spec:
Vista Ultimate 64 (fully updated).
Intel core2 duo E6750 2.66GHz.
4 gig OCZ DDR2 PC8400.
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R.
Nvidia BFG 8800GTS.
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.
I have since uninstalled CS3 and reinstalled it and I am still experiencing the same problem. I can import any other type of file (images, audio etc) I am only having this problem with video files.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Keep in mind that Vista is good enough to boot your computer, loads a bealtyful GUI, wallpaper loads and mounts the desktop icons. After that the computer works fine. The clock is ticking on the side bar, pictures changes on the middle of this bar, some another gadgets loads and so on . After short period of time, the screen saver starts. Wow vista works great! This is all that vista is capable of. Our problems with vista begins when we click in something. Believe me, i have 26 years of experience with computers. Downgrade to XP64. Your CS3 will work without problems. I have a computer with quad core, 16Gbytes of 667RAM, quadro board, and even in this monster Vista do not works with a long sort of problems. After the downgrade, my problems dissapear. CS3 works very well.
