How to tell what other program is using webcam?

Hello,
My in-laws sometimes (maybe 20% of the time) get a message that says that the webcam is already in use by another program when they try to video chat with us. The message is in Danish and says something like "Webcamaret bruges af et andet program". They haven't started any other program. iChat shows a green camera icon on both their buddy list and on our remote system's buddy list.
Restarting or stopping iChat and disconnecting/reconnecting their webcam always seems to fix the problem, but I'd like to understand how to fix once and for all. Restarting is time consuming and rather disruptive for them and reseating the webcam is difficult for them physically to do.
They have a Mac Mini Intel 1.66 Core Duo. I recently switched out their firewire-based iSight with a USB-based Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro for Mac. They had the same problem with both, but they don't have the iSight any longer to try it again.
They are half-way across the world, and not tech-savvy, so resetting the PMU won't be possible.
I've looked through their Console logs, but don't even see any error message when it occurs.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
Have them check in System Preferences > Accounts > (The Logged in account) > Login Items.
This is a list of the apps and utilities that start up when the Mac does.
(iTunes Helper is a common one that most people have).
This is one common cause of another app having access the the camera.
Look for iMovie, Photo Booth, Any System or iChat Add-On relating to Camera and camera tweaks, Any Software for the Logitech (It should not need to be started up at computer Launch)
Comic Book if bundled with their Mac.
Also check this list EZ Jim's Work
I would also get them to Check the System Profiler and then use the reveal Triangles to see Hardware > USB
If you have another way to login in to their computer other than iChat Screen Sharing then you could run this in Terminal
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
With iChat Shut down:-
Copy and Paste the Bold Text into Terminal and then hit the Enter key.
This will start iChat and Create Log in Terminal.
When the Buddy List has finished Loading Quit iChat in the Normal Way.
Copy the whole Log up to that point and paste it into TextEdit and send it to your self.
If you read through it, it should list two Cameras:-
1) the External (Or any Internal iSight for other reading this)
2) A software one ready for iChat Screen Sharing.
If the Regular one lists a Count less than 0 (zero) then iChat is having a job reading the Hardware state.
If this is the case then you could try deleting com.apple.iChat.plist from their Home Folder/Library/Preferences (Just drag it to the Trash)
iChat will need to be restarted where it will rewrite that .plist after checking the System again.
NOTE:-
This does lose all the other settings they have changed from Defaults in the iChat Preferences except the Accounts pane. (Saved Transcripts, Font choices, IM colours etc)
Are they using their Web Browser to Chat on Flash Based or the Google Mail Web Chat page ?
If that Tab or Window is still open (if they are still in a "Room") the camera will be "held" by the web Browser.
If they do use this method and it is Flash check they have not ticked the "Remember" button to Allow access each time they use that Chat site (I am not sure if the Google Chat Plug-in has a similar "Allow" Pop Up).
FaceTime for the Mac (The Beta) can in fact use the camera at the same time as iChat. It does not seem to matter which application is launched first.
Resetting the SMC on the Mac Mini is not invasive
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
See the third Expandable link in this Article (Near the bottom)
In most cases it can be just that the System has flagged somewhere that it thinks the camera is in use when in fact nothing is.
A PRAM reset may sort it but the SMC reset is more certain.
A PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT PR Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
Hope this helps.

How to set up email, add apps, use web through wireless modem?

Hi,
Have a new 8310. OS is v4.5.0.37 Platform 2.7.0.55I'm in Australia, currently with Telstra but in the process of changing.
I have not purchased a data plan for the phone. I have a wireless modem for my desktop & wondering if I can use this to connect my phone to the web without purchasing data?
Do I need a data plan to send emails? Can I use my existing online email acct(yahoo), or do I need to set up a special one for the phone? If so, please explain where/how? If not, what other info do I need to configure the existing one? It seems I need a PIN as well as e-addy & password(& assuming it's the yahoo password?)
TIA

Yes. Basically, to do anything other than use the phone, you need a data plan. Period.

Yes...see the above reading material.

No...not required.

PIN...hmmm...there are many definitions for that acronym in the BB world. The most usual one is a unique identifier, much like an IP address or phone number, that is assigned at the factory to your BB. It is used to register your BB for various services (yes, via a data plan) so as to identify your BB on the network.
I hope that helps.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,
GB

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

HT1338 Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac? Tiger or Leopard? Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac?
Tiger or Leopard?
Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

Go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". You will get a window similar to this one -
You current OS X version number will be shown as I've marked.
OS X 10.4.x is Tiger, 10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard, 10.7.x is Lion, and 10.8.x is Mountain Lion.
Whether or not you can go to the latest OS X version depends upon your hardware -
You will need to purchase the retail set for the OS X version you want; there is no pint in getting and installing any intermediate versions. Once the retail version has been installed, you can update it to the latest release for that version via download updater.

How to Send an Email to Outlook using process type in RSPC?

Hi,
How to Send an Email to Outlook using process type in RSPC?
We created lot of process variants, actually we want to send an mail to users if the DP Background job was succesfully finished.
Actually i tried with create message its not happening...
Plz let me know .. its urgent ...
Regards,
Satish

Hello Satish,
If you want to send a friendly message to your users, then you can do this by building an ABAP program that calls function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 . You can then insert this ABAP program in your process chain (using the ABAP program process type) or as a second step in your background job. With this technique, you can send an email to SAP users, or to external users (e..g Outlook email addresses)
Here's a sample ABAP code:
data: ls_docdata type SODOCCHGI1,
        lt_objcont type table of solisti1,
        lt_receivers type table of somlreci1,
        ls_objcont type solisti1,
        ls_receivers type somlreci1,
        ls_user type syuname.
* Fill these variables with subject and msg lines that you need.
data: MAIL_SUBJECT     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE1     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE2     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE3     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE4     TYPE STRING,
MSG_LINE5     TYPE STRING.
ls_docdata-obj_descr = mail_subject.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line1.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line2.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line3.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line4.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
ls_objcont-line = msg_line5.
append ls_objcont to lt_objcont.
* t_userlist contains the list of users to whom th email will be sent.
loop at t_userlist into ls_user.
    ls_receivers-receiver = ls_user.
"Change the type here if email is for outlook users, See documentation
" of function module in SE37
    ls_receivers-rec_type = 'B'.
    ls_receivers-express = 'X'.
    append ls_receivers to lt_receivers.
endloop.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data                   = ls_docdata
    tables
     OBJECT_CONTENT                   = lt_objcont
     receivers                        = lt_receivers
   EXCEPTIONS
     TOO_MANY_RECEIVERS               = 1
     DOCUMENT_NOT_SENT                = 2
     DOCUMENT_TYPE_NOT_EXIST          = 3
     OPERATION_NO_AUTHORIZATION       = 4
     PARAMETER_ERROR                  = 5
     X_ERROR                          = 6
     ENQUEUE_ERROR                    = 7
     OTHERS                           = 8
You can test out the function module first in SE37 (just put the name of the FM and click execute). Testing it in SE37 will help you get your parameters right.
Hope this helps.

How to set the full screen mode using setClip method

hi all,
how to set the full screen mode using setClip in that softkeys should not be used insteat on that need to create a own softkeys using commands.
thanks & regards
Bala.

In CS5 there are changes made to how the screen mode is reported. In CS3-CS5 the screen mode has a corresponding number. So for instance if the ScreenMode is set to "Preview Off" and you ask indesign CS3 or CS4 to display the screen mode, it will report "1936552047", while in CS5 it will report "PREVIEW_OFF".
try executing this simple command in respectively CS3, CS4 and CS5 and you will see what I am talking about:
alert(app.activeWindow.screenMode);
there is no difference if you do:
alert(app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode);
The CS5 solution is rather awkward to work with, unless I am missing something? PREVIEW_OFF is not a string, nor is it a number.
Example - doing:
myScreenMode=app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode;
and then trying to reset screenMode by something like:
app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode= myScreenMode
does not work in CS5 of course. It will throw an error. Neither will this line work:
app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode=ScreenModeOptions.myScreenMode;
Any way of working around this?

Please can you elaborate on what exactly is the requirement for setting this through javascript?
