Jaguar + iBook + iPhoto + Composite Video Problem
After reading a notice on MacFixit today, I confirmed this new issue. After upgrading to Jaguar 10.2.1, when attempting to run an iPhoto slideshow using the Apple composite video cable (to display on a TV), the music stops, the slideshow changes to a lower resolution, and the slide transitions no longer work.
I?m using a 14? iBook with 384MB RAM, with iPhoto 1.1.1. After starting iPhoto and selecting a group of photos to view, I clicked on the player button. It started immediately and worked normally, cross-fading nicely between photos, playing the selected music in the background. While the slideshow was running, I plugged in Apple?s composite video connector, which worked perfectly in 10.1.5, and the music immediately stopped, the resolution on the slide show dropped below the set 1024x768, and it began very jerkily displaying the photos. This feature is now essentially unusable. When I stopped the slideshow by clicking on the touch pad, removed the composite video cable, and restarted the slideshow, everything was again fine. When I plugged in the cable, and started the slideshow, I got either a blank white screen with no music, or the previously described jerky, low res photos.
