Video out to a projector

I just bought a fire wire 366mhz clamshell off eBay.
Can I hook this laptop up to a video projector?
Does it have a video out?
I have seen cables for sale on eBay that states they are for some g3 units, is mine equipped for it?
Ibook clamshell - 366mhz with firewire Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Yes, yours is equipped. You'll need the composite out connector here...
You can buy it here ...of course your projector will have to accept RCA type inputs.

Can't display video out on a projector

Hi
I needed to show a powerpoint presentation at school but was unable to because the
"viewsonic PJ513DB"projector would remain blank. (mini display to VGA) even after I restarted the computer and the projector, it stubbornly remained blank. even in preferences there were no options to configure. I have already tried it on my external samsung display at home and it worked. maybe it was after i changed the settings to extend my desktop and changed it to a higher resolution on that samsung monitor... also when i booted into windows vista the projector would display my desktop but the resolution is too low to display anything, yet alone a powerpoint... any help?

Next time you plug in your MDP to VGA adapter to an external monitor, try installing this. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/minidisplayporttov gafirmwareupdate10.html

Two new issues: Shutdown and No Video Out

For some reason I have begun to experience two problems. The first is that after the last update, I can no longer send video out to my projector. The second is that when I close my laptop it reboots instead of going to sleep. At first I thought it was a low battery, but I just experienced it while plugged in. Any ideas?

I haven't hear that controversy about Kingston but I can tell that many of the problems posted in this forum involves Crucial memory. They are considered almost crap. Also you could be having problems with the power source, but to know more about, please give us a harware complete list includding Amps. P.S. gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. and its brand. 8)

Satellite laptop: connecting video out to projector causes hum in (headset) audio output

Our church connects video output from the laptop to a projection system and audio out (via headset jack) to a sound board mono channel (line in). Stereo to mono adapter. We get a significant hum in the audio whenever the video cable is plugged in. Doesn't matter whether the attached projection equipment is on or off, it's all about plugging the video cable into the laptop. Unplug the video cable and the hum disappears. Obviously we have tried all sorts of things to isolate the problem but it all comes back to plugging in that video cable. We made sure there were no nearby power supplies or other equipment that might throw out interference. Has anyone ever encountered this problem and have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Using a Satellite PSBY1U laptop. Video out is not HDMI but the other (VGA?) connector. We are connecting audio out from the headset jack direct to a mixer channel. No microphone is connected to the laptop. We looked at every sound and video-related menu we could find and could not see any settings that would seem to be relevant to the problem (we changed lots of settings anyway and nothing helped). Naturally we played with audio volumes, different auto cables, etc. Bottom line is we get clean audio until we plug the video cable into the laptop, then we get a very prominent hum from the audio output. Video cable goes straight to a projector, doesn't matter whether the projector is turned on or off. The audio and video cables are never closer than four inches from each other. It's weird.

Video out from iPhone 3GS to TV.

Can I use the standard (3 phono plugs on the end) video out lead I already have to view keynote presentations from my iPhone 3GS on my TV/Projector?

Same problem here.
I can't get any video out of my faithful iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.xx.
I have been browsing Apple discussions for solutions and most of them seem to point out to a faulty Video Composite cable. This is not my case.
I can rule that out 100%.
Old iPhone 3G running ios 3.1.2 works just fine as well as does iPhone 4, with the same cable.
I have tried with a friend's TV and cable and iPhone 3GS and we have identical issues.
(different cables and phones, same issue).
Please note all testing has been done with genuine Apple Video composite cables.
So this points out clearly to a iphone iOS issue combined with hardware.
It appears that starting from iOS > 5.0 video output has been disabled on earlier iPhone models prior to 4.
It would be nice if Apple could issue a Knowledge Base document on the issue as that would save many people further testing and waste of time.
This document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108? isn't really complete enough as it stops at iphone 4.
Has anybody the ultimate answer on this issue?
Are there any known work-arounds?
Thanks and regards
Pieter

Video out doesn't work anymore

The video out doesn't work properly any more on my G4 12inch powerbook. It had been working fine, but now it doesn't work properly with either of the mini-vga adapters that came with my powerbook. When using the mini-vga to composite/s-video, the image appears on the tv but there is no colour and the picture isn't stable at any resolution over 800 x 600.
When connecting to a monitor or projector using the mini-vga to VGA adapter, the image appears on the screen etc but the colour is completely wrong (everything is shades of green).
I can't think of anything that might be the problem, though I did upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 and I'm wondering is this might be the problem??
Thanks.

Any way to get video out from your Treo 800???

I have video files on my treo 800. I can view them on my treo 800. Is there any way to "pipe" the video output through the usb port and wirelessly to something else so I can take my treo 800 to a customer presentation and play a video for them on a larger screen????
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

I guess I'm not sure I understand this answer. I'm looking for a way to connect a cable to the usb port on the Treo 800 and connect on the other end to audio/video jacks. Or send the video out wirelessly. I want to be able to send the video to a larger screen TV or a lcd projector for presentations. I am looking for both the hardware solution and if necessary the software piece of the solution????????

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

Video out from ipad pages??

I can't seem to find any direct information about which apps support video out and which don't. The ipad guide says simply, "apps which support video out" will work with the vga adaptor but nowhere can I find whether pages specifically will do that. Anyone tried it yet?
TIA!

I have not tried Pages...however, I have tried Keynote and it does support Projector or TV output... I'd be very surprised if Pages and Numbers don't...

Keynote not sending video out on my ipod touch 3gen.

Im using the av cable. It works great with the photos app, i can see the photos slide show in the projector. But it looks like keynote is not recognizing the cable or something else, it just dont sends the video out. Is there any setup that I'm missing

I'm having a similar issue but different. If I download a video podcast on my PC in iTunes it downloads fully without an error but when I goto my podcasts in iTunes it only shows me my audio podcasts.
I have tried downloading video podcasts on my iPhone and they download and play correctly in the video app but when I sync my iPhone to my PC in iTunes the video podcasts don't get imported from my iPhone but the audio ones do.
Does anyone know why this is or how to fix it?

IPhone 2G video out problems

Hi all,
Since updating to 2.1 (via Pwnage) I have been unable to get video out in my iPhone 2G.
I have Apple component AV cables which worked fine on 2.01 with both my TV and the projectors used at University (I use this in my lectures). Upgrading to 2.2 has not fixed the problem.
Annyhoo, once I plug them in I get the dreaded 'This device is not compatible etc...' message and all I get is audio. I have even had this warning when using the cable and the wall plug to recharge.
I have looked through MacTalk and Apple's Support site and several people have been having trouble with 3rd party cables but mine are Apple, came in the nice shiny (expensive) box 'n everything. Apple Support (US) definitely lists this cable as compatible with my iPhone.
Can anyone offer practical advice, or do I have to back to 2.01 to get this to work?

Restore your iPhone to the factory firmware, then try the Apple Component AV Cable. Else, seek elsewhere for assistance, as Apple Discussions is not the place to seek support for hacked/jailbroken iPhones.

FX5900 Problems with S-video out

I've been trying to get a signal to my miniDV video camera, Cannon Optura PI, through S-video cable. Here's what happens:
1. Monitor connected to VGA, Camera to S-video out - Camera goes black when windows loads.
2. Camera only connected to S-video out - It works fine on camera, full color.
3. Leave camera plugged in, reconnect monitor to VGA - Now monitor goes black when windows loads.
How can I get both the camera and the monitor to work at the same time?
As a test I hooked an LCD projector to the DVI out. I was able to get the projector and the monitor to work simultaneously. S-Video wouldn't work at all with the projector.
I've used MSI live update to ensure all my drivers/bios are current.

I bought two of those cards on eBay when I was looking for a second Video Card for some Video Editing systems.
The largest chip in the Component side of this PCI-slot card has the ATI-3D logo, and characters below call it RAGE LT PRO AGP. A chip nearby has a paper label that says: LTP 328 and 54104. PN 109-54100-00 is silk screened next to the ATI logo on the corner.
There is also a 20-pin rectangular connector labeled "DEF". I have never seen display gear that plugged into that. Any ideas what that one is?
These cards worked great (off the VGA connector) in Mac OS 9, But OS X 10.3.9 would not deal with them except in 256-color mode.

Cannot output video to an LCD projector

I own a week 11 model of the Macbook Pro, and mine cannot ouput to an LCD projector at work. Everytime I hook it up and try to detect displays, I get a signal for almost a second, then it goes out of sync and then the projector tells me the signal is lost or out of sync. Other co-workers of mine own Macbook Pro's (in particular a week 22 model) and they perform fine.
I was told earlier that the early manufactured Macbook Pro's had a defective video out, and I was wondering if anyone had anymore information regarding this.
Macbook Pro (1.54", 2.0 Ghz Intel Duo Core, 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.6) Firmware 1.0.1

Does someone know what I really need?
In the short term what you need is to post this in the right forum. You posted this in the Panther and earlier OS forum but your computer information says you're using Leopard, but that doesn't matter because this is really a hardware problem and would best be off in the forum for your computer. I'll ask it be moved there.

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 ;<

Video Out, is it possible?

i'd like to hook up my TouchSmart 600 to a digital projector (for large movie showings). Is there a video out option or connector on the TouchSmart? any suggestions?
thanks,
Idan

Generally speaking the 600xt series doesn't have any additional video outputs. It's really designed for the user to take advantage of the 1080p screen it ships with.
For the 1350 specifically , this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02507381&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en... says under the I/O ports section that there aren't any video out ports.
I do have a second DVI monitor connected to my 600xt TouchSmart via a USB graphics adapter from IOGear. However, because it's connected via USB, it won't work well for video but is great for browsing, twitter, and the like.
