Video Out Connection Problem

am trying to connect my powerbook to a tv, so I bought a video out connector, which connects to the video out port right by the s-video connection and cable internet port. When I connect the piece to my powerbook, the screen flashes to blue, I guess it automatically is detecting the displays, and then returns to normal. When I connect the video line from this connector to the tv, the screen has gray horizontal bars and scribbles in between (kinda like a loose connection I guess?). I have checked the connections, all were tight, have restarted. Also, when I go to the display preferences when this piece is attached, an error report comes up and display preferences are automatically closed. Please help.

Your power supply may have weakened and can no longer produce the amps that are needed to power the system. The newer video card also draws more power as well.
Check and see if you can borrow another power supply to check if that is the problem. One with power outputs similar to mine would be enough to make the check.
A vantec chipset cooler from newegg can be used to replace the bad one on the KT3 motherboard.
Are you using the same power supply with both motherboards?

HT1338 Why do I get so many "time out" connection problems?

I keep getting "time out" connection problems when I am on computer. I am also experiencing a lot of "spinning wheeling" issues. Are they related?

Hi Garima,
These are the three I use and I get 1 or 2 updates a day on most days....why?

Video out connection bad on MOBO

My video went out when I opened my G4 Titanium display one day. Odd smell and no video. I found the ribbon cable was damaged near the plug on MOBO. One wire was stripped and probably contacted the metal inside. I assume there was damage to the video out somewhere on the MOBO. External display is fine. Short of buying a new cable to test the internal output to diplay is there any way to test this?

Hi, Macnag. For clarity's sake, can we agree that "video out" means the port on the back of your Powerbook to which you connect an external monitor? You say "External display is fine," so I assume there's nothing wrong with your video out. For the same reason, I conclude that there's nothing wrong with the video components on your logic board, and that's good news. You know you need a new LVDS video cable (which feeds the built-in display), because the one you have is damaged. What you may not know is how difficult it is to replace that cable, one end of which is sealed inside the glued-together display assembly. For one man's techniques for opening the display assembly to get at the stuff inside it, see http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/tibook_display.html.

Tecra A4: How to make TV s-video out connection?

I have cable and i have connected
there is no signal also there is no any option for tv out or s-video in properties - advanced - display

Hi. I've also the same problem. the Svideo port on my Tecra M5 doesn't work. It was working but suddenly it didn't. I've checked everything from Cable to TV and also drivers. Everything is OK and also I've checked with another similar M5 Notebook. Please advise me if you have any idea. BTW, how can I check that the Svideo port is working properly?
Thanks

Video/Audio Connection Problems with 10.4.5

I'm experiencing problems today using iChat to connect with another Mac user. I've been connecting to this user with no problems and then tonight, I could only text chat. When I accept an incoming video chat it appears to be connecting and then I get a message saying I've left the chat. On the other end, they get a message saying I didn't accept. The opposite happens if I initiate the video chat. No luck either with just audio.
Unfortunately, I have two variables and I'm not sure which one is the culprit. This afternoon my system updated to 10.4.5. As part of that update, there apparently was a change to iChat but there isn't any documentation. My other variable is that I also switched from my cable modem provider to DSL. I originally thought it was a DSL issue but have followed all the steps I could find to take the DSL modem out of the equation. I'm using BellSouth for DSL and a Westell 6100 modem. I've set the modem to bridge mode and disabled DNS so that my Airport Extreme is handling all those duties. As far as I can tell, the Westell is only acting as modem and Airport is doing the rest, just as it did when using the cable modem.
Unfortunately, I'm still not connecting. While I didn't get a chance to test the DSL prior to the 10.4.5 update, I'm wondering if there's a problem with the update since it did have an iChat component. The other Mac user is still on 10.4.4.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Eric,
I would stop and actually check the Airport is getting the Public IP address.
Open Airport Admin Utility for the Applications/Utilities folders and log on
Go to the Internet Tab.
This should be set to the connection Type of the ISP and show DNS Subnet and IP details.
The IP details should be the same as what you see when you go here http://www.myip.dk/
It might also pay to try without the Airport first and check if the modem is in fact the problem (or at least the ports or Firewall), despite what you think you have set.

Video chat connection problems

I've been trying to video chat with my friend. She's using iChat v.4.0.7, I'm using iChat v.3.1.9. The most that happens is that we connect, and I get one frame from her end, but then we get a communications error (in particular, error -20). I made changes to the firewall and such, but it seems like nothing's working. What seems to be the issue here? Is it a compatibility issue? I can provide the error log if needed.

Hi,
Try these things first at both ends.
System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab. Set the speed to 1.5Mps and restart iChat.
This is particularly important at the Tiger end (iChat 3).
Once ichat has restarted go to the iChat menu > Preferences > Accounts and deselect "Use this Account" to Log out of AIM (or Jabber).
Now whilst Logged Out go to the Sever Setting tab and change the port to 443.
Now Log back in again.
The reason is that some modems and routers have issues with the AIM Login port at 5190 (it's on the TCP Protocol) and the use of port 5190 on UDP as well for Direct IMs, File sharing and Buddy List updates, which, for some reason, "bleeds" over into Video chats particularly on Zyxels.
This Apple Doc is related to both issues.
Error 20 can be accompanied by a written message which is most commonly "Can Not Get Video from Camera"
Sometimes it is "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
As you actually get a picture I suspect the latter.
In this case look to your Modem or router and see if it has a DOS or SPI feature.
This may be a separate thing or included in the firewall in any higher settings.
It is best to turn this Off.

IChat video conference connection problem

I am having trouble connecting in a video conference. I get to starting connection then it just hangs, or it will say that I did not respond. I have a netgear router which I know causes problems but i opened up every possible port that iChat uses. I am using a webcam supported by ichat, my video comes up fine

Hi,
This page is for how to Access and to view only.
It shows UPnP.
Make sure it is enabled and the setting saved.
Repeat. (Enable it again and save) as setting it twice on some firmware seems to make a difference.
This will allow the ports to be open when the Application wants them.
Make sure there si nothing set in the Port Forwarding section.

The solution then is to rerun the Combo update

Time-out Connection Problem MBP.

I just received a MacBook Pro. I went to try to connect to my wifi but it wont connect, it keeps saying Connection Timeout. All my other devices are working fine, so i dont know what the problem is. Could anyone help me on how to fix this.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Blackberry Playbook Video Chat Connection Problems

Hi
trying to use the Video Chat App, i have found that almost that the app is not working 50% of the time due to the way it is designed.
Most corporate environment will provide a tight security on their network and are very unlikely to open their firewall to peer to peer applications.
considering that RIM always aimed at the corporate, this is rather disappointing.
Even if some companies were to open their firewall. there is no guarantee that the person you want to talk to will
i have this in home network, corporate network and some hotels HSIA and only succedeed to have it working on home network.
I hope that RIM is working on an alternative method of connection that do not require port opening on firewall.
Should someone from RIM read this, comments will be appreciated.
thanks
regards
Emmanuel Clave
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear Cpts
Thank you for your reply.
However, as it stand, I have not found one corporate network that allows by default Video Chat.
This means that all your corporate client (including ourselves) cannot use the application.
Other Web based application such as Skype, Messenger, both providing Audio and Video are working natively.
Wether a company decides to allow the use of those, or block those is then a matter of choice.
Providing a service to the Corporate Market that does not work, is in my opinion less than useful.
Great App... but cannot use it. as I will never know if our users are within a Wi-Fi network that will allow them to use it.
Imagine if BBM was in the same predicament.. Can only use it is port xx are opened.
Video Chat is the next level to BBM but cannot be used.
Our corporate users are travelling worldwide using a multitude of Wi-Fi network, and I cannot rely on this application for effective method of comminucation.
I sncerely hope that RIM will rethink the communication method, in a more transparent manner.
Thank you
Kind regards
Emmanuel

Playbook Video Store Connection Problem

Every time I have tried to connect to the Blackberry Video Store tonight, I get the error notice " Unable to contact the Video Store store. Your computer's time and date is set incorrectly. Please check your settings and restart the application."

has been doing this for 3 days now.
waited months for a video service and now it doesnt work

Video Out - Tecra 8000

I have a Tecra 8000 with Windows XP Pro installed.
Everything works beautifully I have updated the BIOS to v9.3 - BUT I can't get the video out connections to work.
I have tried the RCA plug on the back, and also connected the SVGA dongle to the side jack and used the composite video out on that, but no signal seems to come out of either of them.
I have tinkered with the various different BIOS settings, used the Fn+F5 key all to no avail.
I have read in the forum here that others have the same problem, so I'm adding a plea for help with this one too. Can I ask, has ANYONE managed to actually get a composite video signal out of their Tecra?

Hi Peter
If your Tecra is preinstalled with Toshiba Recovery CD all drivers and tools should work properly. In this case there are, in my opinion, two possible reasons why this not works. Either is notebook the cause for this issue or there is some problem with the TV and TV setting.
Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch to external device. It will be interesting to know if this works properly with external monitor. It is not the same port but the tool is the same. You can also try to connect your notebook to another TV. It is sometimes not easy to say what the problem can be. If there is no way to have some success you need some professional help. Maybe the service partner can make a short check of composite video out port.

Intel iMac Component Video Out

Has anyone tried a component video out connection to an HDTV from the Intel iMac? I've read from the ATI website that the new Radeon X1600 card supports component video out with an adapter.
There was never a really good way to do this with previous Mac models.

A little more news about component out from the Intel iMac 20"
The VGA adapter included with my 12" iBook does not fit the mini-dvi port on the iMac. So you need to buy a new adapter from Apple.
Also:
I tried using a VGA-to-component cable with the iBook VGA adapter and a standard television set. The cable is designed to interface a component-out DVD player to a VGA-in BenQ projector. I ran the cable to the component-in jacks on my Sanyo (analog-non HD) television. No go. Tried several resolutions and adapter refresh rates, and got some smeared video, but it made me nervous and I stopped experimenting. Haven't tried this cable with my HDTV for fear of damage.
Basically, the cable was meant to take a video signal from the DVD player to the projector. My experiment was mac to TV.
So sad, oh so sad ;<

How do i get video out to connect to aprojector

How do I get video out of my Ipod touch(4th gen) to connect to my projector. I have the correct cable and the projector work fine when connected to my laptop, mirrors the creen correctly But I cannot get an output from my Ipod.Cheers

hi
I think I have found the app, I was not seeing the obvious, so I can now play videos on the Ipod itself. With regards the cable it is a Dexim unit which plugs into the long Ipod socket on the base.From that unit there is a cable terminated with jackplugs.One end into the dexim unit another into the projector. As I said it worked fine on a 2nd generation, I just played the video on the 2G Ipod and it came thru onto the projector. Hence my thought that it was a setting and/or app on the 4thG Ipod.
Again many thanks for all your help, at least it is improving my knowledge of Ipod
Cheers
PS started with the ipod download guide but the problem isnt addressed hence my plea on this forum.
PPS I've emailed Dexim to see if just in case the unit I have isn't compatible with 4thg Ipod for some reason
