Video only shows my desktop.. why?

Hello, I can't seem to figure this out and its probably going to be something stupid but when I connect to a video chat with my friend I can see him but on his end it only shows my desktop screen. Every option seems to be checked correctly can someone tell me if i'm missing something. The camera is facing me and shows its on but again all it shows to my friend at the other end is a shot of my desktop. Thanks for you help.

Particularly if you downloaded the Trial of that one and it is Out of Date.

How do I delete a video from my iPhone if it only shows in desktop iMovie?

As subject, really - somehow I've got a 3m37s video on my iPhone 4S which will ONLY show up in iMovie on the Mac when I go to import other clips. I cannot see it in Camera Roll on the phone, or in iMovie on the phone, or in any of the other photo / video apps. The ONLY WAY I can see this movie is through Mac iMovie - which only has the option to import clips, not delete them.
How am I supposed to get rid of this video? I've already tried resetting my Photo Stream and it seems it didn't work. iTunes shows 1.1gb of "Other" when my iPhone is plugged in, and I have a feeling it's this video since it doesn't seem to know it's there, other than - well, you get the idea.
Any help appreciated.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Mini DV to Video only shows in black and white

I bought a mini dv to video from an apple shop so that i could watch films on my tv. I connected it to my tv at home and it worked perfectly, but when i try to connect it to my parents tv it only shows in black and white... both tvs are of roughly the same age...I'm connecting the yellow wire to the scart on the back of the tv to the yellow socket on the adapter
how come it works on one tv and not the other one?

When you press the INPUT button on the remote to cycle through the inputs, is "ColorStream HD" listed? Is "Video" listed?
The Xbox is connected using 5 cables, correct? Red, blue, green, white, and red?

Installed Thunderbird but it only shows recent messages - why?

After months of problems with Outlook I installed Thunderbird. It seems to work great, but this morning I went to search for an email...I couldn't find it. I then realised that it only shows recent emails in the inbox. I've read various things but can't seem to make it download my old messages which are on the server and still show in Outlook.
Please help me sort this.

Is Thunderbird the default mail account?
Do you have an IMAP or Pop mail account?
If IMAP, what settings do you have here? :
'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Synchronize & Storage' for the mail account
At the top of the page, 'Keep messages for this account on this computer' should be checked if you want to synchronize messages between your local system and your mail server.
Under the Disc space section, do you have it set to only synchronise the most recent xx days or messages ?
See more info here:

Why would a 21 minute video only show up as a partial clip in project panel and timeline?

When I import uncompressed AVI file (21 minutes long) into project panel, it shows up as 4 seconds and 18 frames in length. Clip shows the full 21 minutes long in bridge and windows media player. I have rebooted computer and checked for updates. Also shows up as a shorter clip in After Effects. Any ideas?

AP Overdue analysis only shows one BA; why?

Hi
I have a AP Overdue analysis report in BW; For some reason the BW report is run with Business area "SD" only eventhough SAP has invoices other tha BA SD. For the documents that has different BA in SAP still shows SD in BW report for those documents.
I have checked there are no routines, its all direct mapping.
Can anyone advice me on how to resolve this issue
Thanks in advance

Hello PB ,
Check with R/3 People I am not undersanding Why Business Area getting SD.
Cgeck some Standared Queries under 0FIAR_C03 Cube ( Receivables cube ) like that you have to do for Account payables (AP)
Those queries are : 0FIAR_C03_Q1003
0FIAR_C03_Q1002
0FIAR_C03_Q1004.
Business Area means it is Company related information like
Company located in Bombay,Banglore, Hyd.....
This Bombay
Banglore
Hyd.... These are business areas
Not SD, MM, PP......
Check the master data of Infoobject 0BUS_AREA.
Thanks,
Kiran Manyam.

I can't play videos (youtube for example) unless it is in full screen mode. The audio works in either, but the video only shows in full screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't play videos (you tube for example) except in full screen mode. The audio works in either, but the video doesn't load or run in the normal you tube web site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the error console shows all sorts of different errors. Though, alot of error parsing values.

Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In particular, do you
have any plug-ins installed on one computer but not
the other? In the Finder, go to each of the following
folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
Not Found
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
Not Found
~/Library/InputManagers/
Smart Crash Reports Folder / Smart CrashReports.bundle
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
MailRecent.mailbundle
> I have a number of Mail Rules in
place which place messages
of certain topics in specific Smart
Mailboxes
This doesn’t make sense to me. You cannot tell a rule
to move messages to a smart mailbox, only to a normal
mailbox. Each smart mailbox has its own set of
conditions that messages must satisfy in order for
them to appear there.
OK. I misstated this. I have a number of Smart Mailboxes with their specific rules in which to route certain topics to specify mailboxes. I am trying to not have to create each Smart Mailbox on each computer.
The problem is that when I am on the road I add contacts, bookmarks, keychain items, contacts into my laptop and vice versa when home. I would just like to have those Sync on both computers. Seems like it should be easy, but it hasn't been.
I really don't think I have anything "non-standard." A few Smart Mailboxes, a couple of signatures, thats pretty much it.
Note: For those not
familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers
to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any
of the folders referred to in this post by copying
the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder
in the Finder, and pasting the folder path
there.

Videos only show the upper left-hand portion of the image when playing.

When I attempt to play a video in Firefox (23.0) on my Mac, all I can see is the upper left-hand fourth of the video image.
When I attempt to view the same video in Safari it works fine. The entire image is rendered.
Mac OS X 10.8.4

I have this problem too, but only on my MBP with retina display. When I move the Firefox window to the attached external (non-retina) display, the full video is visible. And moving the FF window back, 3/4 of the video disappear again...
* I run the latest version of the Adobe Flash plugin (11,8,800,94 )
* running FF in 'Safe Mode' doesn't solve the problem
* 'Use Hardware Acceleration when available' is not checked
* apparently there's no 'protected mode' for FF an Flash on OS X
A Firefox Reset is not an acceptable solution for me.
Any other hints how I could try to solve this problem?

Video only shows in full screen

Videos played fine earlier today. Without changing anything videos now have sound but no picture. If I choose full screen they play fine. I have reinstalled itunes 11.1.1 and no change. Closed and restarted itunes and again no change. Tried restarting my MacBook Pro and still no change. Anyone have this issue? Know what the issue is?
Itunes 11.1.1
MacBoo Pro late 2011
OSX 10.7.5

I have had the same problem, but because I have been using
Google Chrome almost exclusively for the last couple of months, I
thought it was a Chrome problem and not a Flash problem.
Unfortunately I did not read your response about reinstalling Flash
9. I went through and uninstalled and redownloaded it to see if
that would solve the problem.
It was just today when I realized that the same problem
happens on Firefox. I remarked with surprise about it to my husband
and he replied that is why he has been checking his YouTube
subscriptions in IE. Well,duh.
So the symptoms as we know it are:
In either Firefox or Chrome, two or three YouTube videos will
play fine.
After this, no Flash-based movies will play properly for some
undetermined time.
After going on to other things and coming back, one video
will play fine. The error then returns and won't go away again
without restarting the browser.
Except...
Today I rebooted, switched from Chrome to Firefox, even to IE
and you name it, this error would not go away. The video in
question was a user-uploaded Facebook video in a player that looks
like a vimeo player. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the error
was worse. Two second of the frame jumping and then no picture. IE
would not acknowledge that Flash had been reinstalled.
Is there some way for me to redownload version 9? I deleted
the executable file I had of version 9 in order to download version
10 today.

Iphoto 9.5.1 shows mpeg-4 files as a thumbnail, but will only show as a black screen when you double click on it, other video files are able to be played and are viewable. Why?

iphoto 9.5.1 shows mpeg-4 video files as a thumbnail, but will not play the video. When try to play video it shows as a black screen. Other video files play ok- (mpeg, .mov). What do I have to do to view them? If I use imovie they will play, but I sometime like to view them in iphoto. It worked before I upgraded to 9.5.1 and 19.9.2 of the operationg system.

Select the thrumbnail of one of the videos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. That should take you to the original mpeg4 file.
If it does then try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

IPhoto events only show videos, no pictures

For some reason, my iPhoto events started showing videos only, no pictures. I can see the pictures on the thumbnails, or when I open them using Photos instead of Events, or when I open the events (projects) on Aperture. I already rebuilt the database but nothing changed. If I import new pictures (thus creating a new event), I see them on the new event's thumbnail, but once again if I go into the event nothing shows up.
This happened around the same time iMovie analyzed the iPhoto library for videos, for a new project I'm making on iMovie. Now iMovie can't see the iPhoto videos anymore.
Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
