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.

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

Clock freezes after using Apple DVD Player

I am having a small and annoying issue with the Apple DVD Player (v 4.6.5). This just started happening recently. Everytime I run a DVD (or video TS file, etc) on the software player-it performs as usual. After quitting the application and choosing to eject the disc, I notice there is a longer lag from when I first used the computer, then the little colored wheel of death spins, and eventually Apple DVD Player closes.
The problem, however, is after the application is closed out, my time freezes in the status bar in the upper right hand corner of the screen. (As I write this it says 1:16 and the time in the apple "date and time" preferences panel of OSX says it's 2:14-which is the real time) If I drag the cursor up to the time status bar in the upper right hand corner, it turns into the spinning color wheel, and back again once dragged out.
Once the computer restarts, the time in the upper right goes back to normal with no spinning wheel (until I open Apple DVD Player and quit out of it again). I know this is not an earth-shattering issue, but it is fairly annoying and abnormal. If anyone has suggestions, please help.

It sounds like you found your answer but I also wanted to mention that this is a known BUG when using DVD Player and the Digital Optical Out of a G5. If you look at activity monitor when the Clock is dead and you get the Beach Ball the SystemUIServer will be listed as not responding. If you Force quit this process everything should start working again. As long as the LoginWindow Process is running the SystemUIServer will restart when needed after the force quit.
HOWEVER, The other part of this bug with Digital Optical Out is that sometimes the LoginWindow Process will also stop responding. In this case a Log-Out is the only way to correct the problem. The third part of this bug is sometimes the Finder also stops responding but a Relaunch will fix that.
As I said it sounds like you found your problem but I wanted to post this incase others out there using the Digital Optical Out read this and don't correct their problem.
Also, If you were using the "DOO" by deleting the .plist will set the DVD player back to SYSTEM falsely making one think the problem is fixed.
Last I know this is a known bug because I submitted it as a bug to Apple and received an e-mail stating they know of this problem already.

Creative Cloud Issue After Using Apple's Migration Assistant

I bought a new Mac and used Apple's Migration assistant to transfer everything from the old Mac to the new. Everything works with all apps except Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud states that some files are missing and prompts me to download and install Creative Cloud again. I do that and run the App. The app runs for a minute, acts like it's installing than I get the same error -- Creative Cloud is missing some files or some files are corrupt, please download and reinstall -- it brings me to the webpage to download it again. I'm stuck in this infinite loop!
The old Mac where Creative Cloud runs fine is a 15" Retina Display MacBook Pro. The new Mac is a 27" iMac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

After using apple hi-fi spkrs, ProductRed 8g nano doesn't show up in itunes

My product red 8 gig nano has been working well for nearly 2 mos. Then on Saturday I bought the apple hi-fi speakers.
Sounded great but when I went to add music today in Itunes 7, my nano no longer shows up in the navigation pane.
I can still play music and my nano seems to be charging fine in the universal dock, but aggravating to be unable to add music, sync contacts, etc.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there-thanks for the feedback My nano isn't showing up in itunes or my computer. Also checked the device manager and it isn't showing up there either.
My thought is that since it stopped working right after using the hi fi speakers once, the dock in the hi fi speakers may have damaged the nano's hardware.
Note, nano still plays both on its own and in the new speakers, just can't add tunes-argh!
Check these out:

After using Apple Compressor It wont free up my ram

I noticed that after I use Compressor my Ram wont free up. I have 8 Gig of Ram and after using Compressor it just stays between 486 mb or 300 mb. I can only get my ram back after a reboot. What's up with that?

So i gave it a try and got this in the Terminal window after using Compressor and closing it.
failed to initialize CHUD.framework
I have no clue why or what the CHUD.framework has to do with purging the RAM.

No Wi-Fi after using Apple TV to watch video from iTunes?

After watching video from iTunes library on ATV2 , when trying to use mac afterwards wi-fi slow or stopped. I Have to unplug router to get it working again. Don't think its always being like this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

Visa card canceled after using Apple pay. Tried using at Mapco and denied the transaction twice. Then I find out my check card has been canceled. Waiting on new check card from fraud department.

I think Apple pie confused the banks fraudulent alert system and my card was canceled now I have to wait for a new card. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi ..
Make sure the bank that issued your card is listed here > Apple Pay participating issuers

Admin passwd issue after using apple s option

I have an old PPC G5 duel 2.0 I still have some information and programming files on this unit which from time to time I still need to access, it has been about a year since I last logged into this unit and found that the last password I remembered is wrong or I cant remember it.
So I tried the following options from Apple S
Type mount -uw / and press Enter.
Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press Enter.
Type shutdown -h now and press Enter.
When the unit shut down and I restarted, the welcome video began to play and the installer began to run.
I am stuck here because I cant seem to get the unit to see a previous installation, couple of quick notes.
I had the install disk in the DVD, (earlier the DVD did not recognize the disk) So I am not sure if the disk booted and thus leaves me in the installer .
Is there a way to recover from this condition?
I do have a backup, I tried to use that back up but got a strange warning, about how the machine would need to be upgraded first, odd because the backup was from the current version. 10.5.x

I went as far as selecting the language, I did not select continue, I did attempt to load a backup file, but received an error backup was not compatible with the version, upgrade required first.
I did not see any menu items for resetting the password.
Its also possible the DVD disk may not be properly reading the DVD disk, (it will not play audio CDs but does recognize data DVDs,)
If the DVD drive is bad, Im stuck here, until I get a new one, but will try the steps you outlined,
(I removed the DVD from the drive, rebooted, right back to the installer) (without the DVD in the drive)
So, that confused me, will try to see if I can get the drive to boot to the Disk, (thanks for your reply, I appreciate it)

Macbook pro keeps logging me out after using migration assistant

Hello All,
I have a Macbook pro (bought it two years ago). It used to shut down automatically. Took it to Apple after backing up using time machine. They installed a fresh OS on it and took everything else out. I made a dummy account and no more shut downs happend so I migrated my old account over using MA. Now all my accounts are there but as soon as I log in, it logs me out !!! no error message.
Help would be appreciated.

How were you able to run a disk repair? Did you do that from an install disc?
Can you boot into "single-user" mode? If so there are some commands you can run that will allow you to look into logs files, where you might find the reason for your problem.

I'm locked out after using my CORRECT passcode!!

I turn my passcode settings from off to on on occasion (when snoopy relatives come to visit). Today I went into Settings and turned the passcode to ON. As usual, it asked me to enter my passcode to make this change and then to reconfirm my passcode. I did this and was able to turn it ON and continue working on the iPad. I came back to use the iPad later and it asked me to enter my passcode as expected but now it says it doesn't recognize my passcode now and keeps disabling the iPad. I have never changed my passcode for the iPad (yes, I have carefully attempted over 20 tries so I know I am not mistyping the passcode with my fat sausage fingers). I really don't want to restore my iPad if I can avoid it as it makes me nervous that things will be lost (photos, video, big project I was working on this morning before getting locked out). Help!

I if I remember correctly, if you turn it off, turn it back on, and hold the home button until the "This device is locked" screen (or something among those lines), then it puts your iPad into recovery mode. Although I'm not sure what happens then.
Sorry, but you might have to lose some content. It might be worthwhile to set your iPad to sync over WIFI.

Interlaced frames after using Apple directions for Canon HV30 24p

I have an Canon HV30 HDV video camera and clips that have been recorded using its 24p mode. I'm using the instruction Apple has given to remedy this type of footage in Compressor and output to Pro Res:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410?viewlocale=en_US
I've tried this method a couple of times and carefully also. Everything seems to work well other than the fact that I am getting interlaced frames on the last one or two frames of each clip. Sometimes it's the beginning of the clips. As they are supposed to, clips are changing to 24p and when I step through a clip frame by frame everything looks fine, except for those last couple frames. Other methods, like using JES Deinterlacer, do not produce these distorted interlaced frames. However I would prefer to use Compressor. Could it be that I changed some setting or preference in Compressor a while back that is affecting these clips right now?
Please help!
Once again, using Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV30 with 24p clips.

Hello,
I experienced the same thing. But I feel that the first second or two of any clip is not useable, when
editing I have never needed every last frame.
This is not much of a help to you. I think it has to do with the mysteries of HDV, Long GOP, and 2 t0 3 pulldown and the complex post processing that must happen to yield 24 full frames.
Good luck, Tom

I am not able to connect my iPad 1 with TV using apple VGA adapter

Hello,
When I connect my iPad 1 with a wide screen TV using the apple VGA connector, there's no display on the TV.
But when I do the same thing from iPad 2, the iPad screen is projected on TV.
Please help

Sounds like the one common thing is the adapter. The cheaper, non apple branded ones tend to fail.
Try another adaptor before worrying about your ipad.
