ISight with Skype and aMSN - inverted picture

When I use iSight with Skype or aMSN, the picture is horizontally inverted and no longer functions as if I'm looking into a mirror like with iChat.
There are no options in either program to change this (that I can find). Does anyone know of a solution? I would like flip it horizontally so the image is as if I was looking into a mirror as per iChat.
Thanks

Hello Mr_Harley,
Did you get enough info from Tony (Defcom) to consider your question Answered?
I know of no cheaper solution to your problem for both Skype and aMSN than the $8 iGlasses suggestion than Tony offered, but there may be individual solutions that some aMSN or Skype users could recommend.
If you are willing to consider different software for each application, you can search the great Skype Help pages for Skype-specific help or post your question in the Skype for Mac OS X forum.
For a aMSN-specific solution, try a search or post in the aMSN Forum.
If you need more suggestions or information before you can mark this question "Answered," please let us know what part of your Topic still needs to be addressed, and we will try to give you some other suggestions.
Cheers,

Xorg 7 broke amsn

hello,
I've been running Xorg 7 since a month also i always used amsn, it was great, but after the last update of Xorg 7, my amsn turned out to be broken

I have .Xresources file but the problems still exist even if I rename .Xresources to .Xresources.bak
It is also surprising that

Amsn worked mac to pc with isight imac g5 not working now

Help. For a few months been talking to partner on their pc with amsn on my imac with built in cam.
Partner got new pc. Now amsn is not sending my cam?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Angus,
If it was done on her previous PC it is a strong possibility.
They need to go Start > Control Panels > Firewall > Exception tab and get added.
The other thing is if htye used Port Forwarding in their modem.
This could be trying to forward the data to the IP for the other computer.

AMSN & iSight & BT Voyager 205 - not working

Hi All,
I am wanting to use aMSN with my isight and using an ADSL router Voyager 205. However for some reasons (common i understand) the router needs the ports changing to allow the isight to work, checked out how to do it, called BT and still no luck, NOT WORKING. Need it to work to talk to my son in Brasil, and he on Windows!!!!! MSN
Keep getting the message:
type IP-Restrict-NAT
Listening - False
YOu are firewalled or behind a router
Webcam extention is loaded
Capture extention -QuicktimeTcl is loaded
IM not firewalled so it seems it is the router not finding the isight.
It gives a link to a Q & A with solution but doesnt work with my router for some reason.
CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE.
[email protected] if you can please or [email protected] on MSN (or aMSN)

Hi
Dont Know about aMSN, first try upgrading the firmware on the 205 see http://www.zensupport.co.uk/KnowledgeBase/article.aspx?id=10453 please read carefully.
Also this is how to getting the 205 working in iChat http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2772641&#2772641

Amsn + iSight VS. Me

i use Amsn as my msn application (i think anyone will agree that microsoft messenger for mac is just the worst excuse for msn users who switched to mac but still wanna have all their old functions)
anyways.
amsn used to connect the webcam brilliantly, but for the last 2 months, my friends have been complaining that my webcam is "just white" when it connects. the iSight works fine every time, and when i use webcam with amsn, it works on MY end... but its not connecting. either my internet or amsn is the problem. i know that much.. i just have no idea how to fix it so that the webcam connects the actual pictures its showing me.
if anyone could help, it would be very muchly appreciated.

How to force AMSN to open in 2nd monitor only?

Hi
I've been trying to force amsn to only open on my 2nd monitor with no success. Other programs, such as iTunes, Mac MSN messenger all stay on that monitor but amsn always reverts back to primary.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks for your help.

If you want to save the tabs in multiple windows in the sessionstore.js file when you close Firefox then you have to use the Firefox Exit/Quit menu item or button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button to close all open windows at once.
Otherwise you only save the tabs in the last closed window and you may have to look for History > Recently Closed Windows or "History > Restore Previous Session" to reopen closed window.

Why doesnt my isight work on aMSN

Every time i load Amsn i try to use my built in isight camera on my macbook, when it loads i can see it fine but all my contacts say it just goes to a blank white screen, i can view there webcams as well, any ideas?

Restart the phone. Hold both the home and power buttons until apple logo appears then let go and wait for phone to restart

White square is shown when on cam using aMsn AND Mercury

Lately i've had some trouble going on webcam to people over aMSN and Mercury Messenger (the only Mac Cam/MSN apps I use). I can see myself just fine, but all the contact can see is a blank, white square in the space where i'm meant to be. I thought that it might just be the one messenger service, but the fact it happens on both pieces of software is making me think that it's to do with iSight.
Could anybody please recommend what I should do?
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to Discussions, The60ftOctopus
You can use the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to see whether iSight is causing your problem. Be sure to try with more than one user account and with some other apps, too:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
If your iSight works properly with any app in any user account you test, iSight is NOT the cause.
If you can eliminate iSight as the source of your trouble, you will need to either switch to other ways of communicating as Defcom suggests or troubleshoot other system elements that might be causing the problem. Here are a couple of things you can consider if you don't get better suggestions here:
(1) Sometimes a restart restores function on internet connected applications. Shut down everything and restart your entire system including modem, router, and Mac in that order. To eliminate possible communication hardware problems, *allow self-test to complete on each device before starting the next*.
(2) If you updated or installed any software immediately before the problem began, check their websites to see if there are known issues with your system configuration or installation. If not, carefully following the developers' instructions, reinstall any possible software cause, repair permissions, and try again.
If you find conflicting software, follow the instructions and uninstall to see if removing it will restore proper function to your favored communications apps.
(3) Check the dedicated aMSN and Mercury Messenger fora to see if your problem has already been solved by other users who post there.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I'm rather stumped. I can post the whole config.log if that would help.
I've tried some basic tests with other things and everything else I've tried to compile works just fine, it only seems to be the aMSN package having the issues, yet it looks like it's a problem with the GCC config and not aMSN.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem here, with a fresh installation. If it is really a configuration problem, could somebody help us to check what is the problem ?

Problem port mapping for amsn on mac.. please help

I have snow leopard running, and last night I needed to use amsn opposed to the regular messanger for mac as I needed the video capabilities to connect with a user using windows and msn.
I've never had a problem before but that was before snow leopard. Apparantly the problem is with the windows side not amsn.
They suggest doing opening ports 6890-6900. I can't figure out what information to put in all the fields and if there is a way to enter the range or if you have to enter all them individually.
Also I found a document on how to do this and check the port is open via transmission which it said 1 port was as I only tried one. When I ran amsn it wasnt saying it wasnt open.
Can someone walk me through how to set up the ports. There are many fields that I dont know what to enter etc.
I should point out the problem was with the video. We couldn't intialize a connection and it was really really laggy. I tried rebooting and same thing.
thanks

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings and enable your iPod for disk use: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
If you have any iTMS purchases on your there the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward. PodView has a facility for transferring full resolution photos as well as songs back from the iPod to your Mac. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

I got it installed and running fine but when I go to sign in, it complains about a missing TLS package, which was expected from what I read in the wiki. However, AMSN for some reason is unable to download the TLS package due to an error with sourceforge. I manually entered the URL in my web browser and the file in question downloaded fine that way. I extracted the archive and in the AMSN preferences I directed it to look for TLS in the folder I extracted the archive too. In theory this should work fine but it did not and no matter where I put the TLS files or point AMSN too it simply won't work.
I also read about editing one of the TLS files but my file was correct already so it must have been fixed at some point. Anyone have any insight or tips for me? I am ready to pull my hair out. lol. I even tried installing Arch's TLS package but got no love from that either. If I can't get this to work I may have to go back to my Ubuntu install. Nooooo!! I love Arch too much.

well, I just read the wiki, and it tells you have to download tls manually, but you don't have to...
amsn also asko for tls (which was already installed) until this modification is done
I know you said you already tried something similar, but I've done this few days ago, and I can't see why it wouldn't work for you...
Thanks for the suggestion samlt. I did try that as I too found some posts relaying the same info. My file already had the correct layout so it must have been fixed sometime recently. No biggie, I am using Mercury Messenger at the moment and it seems to be doing pretty much everything I need for now, just found out about it yesterday and there was a package in the AUR so I tried it out and it is working well at the moment.
Thanks,
Kevin

Isight not working with Mercury, aMSN & Skype

Hi All,
I have just got my first mac and have been trying to use MSN or Skype to communicate online.
When beginning a webcam conversation in either Mercury, aMSN or Skype the camera is recognised and the video conversation is started. I then see the contact i am talking to and my self on my built in isight camera. However all of them have said to me they just see a white screen.
I have searched around a lot online for this issue and found other people have had this problem but no one seems to have ever posted a solution to this issue.
I have checked for software updates to snow leopard and this is completely up to date. I have used the newest versions of Mercury, Skype & aMSN. I read about conflict between about 2 programs trying to use the camera and made sure that none of these were open at the same time to stop the isight working.
Other than this i dont really know what to try.
Could it be a problem with my internet connection?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the replies
I went away this weekend and was able to use another family members internet connection. This time my isight worked, so this confirmed my suspicion it was the internet connection...

Well done, jonez
In case you do not hear back from Defcom, here is my suggestion. (If Defcom gives different advice, use his. He is a GREAT help to all of us, and especially to Brit users.)
Is there anything obvious to change on the router? I'm guessing allowing different ports direct access in and out?
The router configuration of your connection may be the problem. Because it is furnished pre-configured by your ISP, I think your ISP should be best able to properly answer this question.
If you really want (or need) to pursue port settings without their help, you can find necessary setting and detailed instructions for many devices at http://www.portforward.com
I think i'll email my ISP and ask, i dont really want to leave the firewall down on the router.
For this issue, too, your ISP should be able to tell you the best way to use their product with the application(s) you need to run on your system.
You are wise to keep the router firewall enabled if possible. If you find that you must disable your external firewall, be sure to keep your Snow Leopard  > System Preferences... > Security > Firewall enabled.

AMSN won't run - error from Tk (solved)

Hi, I recently installed AMSN, but when I try to run it I get the following error:
[jack@Jackington ~]$ amsn
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
Does anybody know what this problem is? I have reinstalled tcl, tk and amsn but to no avail. Perhaps it is a problem with the package, in which case I might file a bug report, but I don't want to do that if it's not necessary. Maybe someone could try to install and run amsn and see if they get the same problem? Then we will know it's a bug.
Thanks very much!

Hi,
My rgbpath is already set and i used to use amsn everyday, just after today's Xorg 7 updates am getting this error
