Some question from a new faceTime user

hi all
I have just downloaded the facetime application to 2 of my macbook pros I have.
1. I could not yet establish a call between these two. the caller side keeps calling without any ring getting to the other side when sometimes it does the application shows a "connecting ..." message long enough (few minutes ) for me to cancel the call.
any ideas ??
2. can someone tell if i can send an HD quality call with a non buit-in camera (for example Microsoft live HD camera)

1. Are you using a different Apple ID on each? I don't know if an Apple ID can call itself. It might be like trying to dial your own phone number.

  • Some questions from a new user of Inventory

    Hi,
    We have some issues with our Zenworks 7 Inventory services :
    1) When we do quick report or data export, the number of object listed are not representative. Some WS are missing and other WS are in double (but not the same data associate).
    2) I've try to set the removal policy but on the server each hour I have the message "No removal policy found".
    3) What's the best way to starting from scratch ? I mean, flushing all DB entries, deleting WS object and force a full scan for everyone to be sure that we have an up to date inventory starting from now ?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Patrick

    Hi,
    I follow all .ncf call starting from StartInv.ncf and everything looks fine.
    I look in the properties of the server package of the Zenworks server, I see you can define rules (policies) to different level (General, Windows, Netware and Linux). The removal policy is defined at the Windows Level, is it the right place to be ?

    Starting fresh of coure doesn't help you, as this does nothing to the
    fact that your policies don't work, so we first need to get this fixed,
    and *then* we can decide if it's still required or easier to start with
    a new DB.
    So, in the properties of the server running the removal service in
    ConsoleOne, do you actualyl see the WS removal policy in assigned or
    effective policies?
    If it is there, and you still see the server claiming it can't find a
    removal policy, then follow the trail of your startinv.ncf. It calls two
    other .ncf files, look at them closely. They should contain your
    servername and context as parameters in the program calls. Is there
    something wrong with them? (E.G, did you by chance move or rename the
    server since installing Zen)?

  • A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

    Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
    Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
    Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
    Cheers

    I have the origina iPhone.
    Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
    Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
    My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

  • A Dumb Question From A New CS3 User

    I am in the process of building a new site using CS3. This is
    my first experience with this product and I have what I am sure is
    a remarkably dumb question. I have an image (a banner ad) centered
    on one of the pages and would like to insert a table to the left of
    the image without the image moving (i.e. down) from it's current
    location. How can this be done?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    That worked perfectly.

    An easy way is to make your table with two cells, then put
    the banner in the
    right cell - if you need more subdivison of the left cell,
    you can put a
    table in it.

  • Quick questions from a new ATV user

    Hi guys
    I've got today my ATV, like it so far...until i updated the software
    now seems that when i play a video, the video freeze for few seconds, then it starts again; is kinda annoying especially when you watch a trailer; anyway seems that is random, so nothing that can be done.
    My questions:
    1)why i can't copy stuff on the ATV like i do with my ipod touch? is annoying that it takes hours to copy a movie, when i could connect it via usb and get the work done, instead of waiting 2 hours to sync few episodes of a show (i have an airport extreme....).
    2) how can i pair the remote with the ATV only, instead of causing issues to all my MACs at home every time that i try to use the ATV?
    3) is there a manual somewhere, except the 3 pages manual available online and in the box?
    4) i saw a lot of hacks to play divx and other video formats....any chance to see an update from Apple instead of void the warranty to install these hacks?
    Thanks a lot for the help...so far i like this little device, but i am surprised about the fact that the usb port is there for no reason...while on the airport extreme can be used to attach drives and printer any mod to attach an external storage?

    Thanks for the answers
    1) by ethernet cable you mean a cross cable between the mac and the ATV, or a simple connection with the router (Airport Extreme)? because in this case i have to unplug the tv and move the ATV in another room...not really practical
    2) tried, but even when ATV says "paired", i can still interact with my macbook and mac mini....annoying
    3) that was the small manual that i was talking about nothing more complex or in depth? or whatever i see is what i can get unless i hack it ?
    4) i understand the point; i just want to know if to get the full potentials of this product i have to hack it, or if there is a "regular " update that would enable some features (since someone compared the ATV to a stripped down Mac mini with Tiger on it); anyway for now i can live with it as is....the only hassle is to convert from DIVX the movies via QT, and takes about 1 hour for a 2 h movie (and 2 hours to sync down to the ATV lol)
    Thanks for your answers!

  • Organizational questions from a new iPhoto user

    Hello,
    I recently purchased iPhoto in hopes that it will help me view my photos easily. I have a large (about 3,000) existing photo collection. I keep this collection very organized, and all photos are in a folder hierarchy of the form 'Year->Month->Day'. The name of each photo begins with the date, such as '2007-01-17 Trees.jpg'. My questions about iPhoto in relation to my existing photos are as follows:
    1) If I allow iPhoto to copy my photos, how does iPhoto organize the photos? Do I have any control over this organization or the file naming convention used? Will iPhoto recreate an intelligible directory structure with useful file names, or will all my subsequently imported photos be labeled as "PIC2315..." in a random directory structure?
    2) Can I make it such that iPhoto imports my photos and takes the date from the first characters of the file name, and the picture title from the subsequent portion of the file name?
    3) Not all of the dates in the metadata accurately reflect the date the photo was taken (some are old photos that were scanned in, some taken before digital cameras had extensive metadata), but the dates used at the beginning of the file names are accurate. Can I use iPhoto to update the date stamp on the photos in my library? Otherwise, the 'organize by date' option is not very useful.
    4) Is there any way to move the iPhoto library folder? It looks like, as with iTunes, iPhoto locates its library folder in a conspicuous location, whereas I feel that these files should be relegated to a more discrete location, like the Library folder (in my opinion, the 'pictures' folder should be reserved for images; data files should be stored elsewhere). This is not a big issue, more of an annoyance that Apple imposes its organizational conventions on me without my consent.
    Advice on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

    Hi Adrian
    1) If I allow iPhoto to copy my photos, how does iPhoto organize the photos
    Here's how the iPhoto Library Folder is organised:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    To your specific questions:
    Do I have any control over this organization
    No. The exception is if you take responsibility for the File Management (In the Preferences, Advanced Pane, Uncheck Copy Files to the iPhoto Library Folder...) That way you can leave your files untouched in your file structure. However, if you do this when you delete a file from iPhoto you will need to delete it from the Finder by hand. Not the case if you let iPhoto do the file management.
    Will iPhoto recreate an intelligible directory structure with useful file names, or will all my subsequently imported photos be labeled as "PIC2315..." in a random directory structure?
    Yes it will, the files will be in rolls that can be named via the iPhoto Window and which names will be reflected in the Finder. The Pictures will be named as per the file name.
    I'm guessing that all of this is so that you can easily and quickly find a file if you need it. However, you're missing the point of iPhoto. It's a Photo Organiser. The idea is you import your pics into it, they are stored (in full view) in the Finder and then everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window. Organise them, arrange them into albums (infinitely more flexible than your current folders - a single pic can be in any number of albums or slideshows, can be in Smart Albums, can be easily edited in external editors and exported easily.) Want to find a file? There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    2) Can I make it such that iPhoto imports my photos and takes the date from the first characters of the file name, and the picture title from the subsequent portion of the file name?
    No, it will take the date from the EXIF data. However you can edit the date, title etc. from the Info window (the wee 'i' bottom left hand corner.) I think that answers your next question as well.
    4. You can put the iPhoto Library Folder anywhere you like, on an external disk, in another place on your HD, whatever. Apple aren't forcing you to do anything. (You can do the same with iTunes too). However, remember the iPhoto Library Folder contains Data and images.
    One thing to remember is the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    iPhoto is a very good app, reliable and very flexible. But you do have to work with it. All the work you've done on your folders you can recreate in the iPhoto Window (just drag the folders to the Source Window where they will be imported into Albums). Think of it as a Front End to your photo collection. Up to now you've been using the Finder as a front end, iPhoto is a lot more flexible.
    Feel free to ask more if you want further clarification or info.
    Regards
    TD

  • Some questions from a new dba.

    Hello.
    I'm on a quest to learn Oracle. But in learning I've hit acouple of things that seem confusing or contradictory. Maybe someone more experienced can help me understand thse.
    1) When you mount but don't open the database, you'll get a "ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only" warning. If I then try and query the "static" data dictionary tables such as "ALL_USERS", I get this warning again. However, it seems like most of the V$ tables can be queries with no problem, such as V$INSTANCE. This seems contradictory, because the manuals describe the V$ tables as dynamic. How is it that I'm supposedly only able to read from "fixed" tables but the dynamic tables seem to be the only ones I can access?
    2) When I create a new user, I grant the user the CONNECT role. According to the manual the CONNECT role allows "CREATE TABLE" permissions. However, when I try and create a table as that user I'll get an error (wierd quota errors, actually). However, if I grant the user the RESOURCE role the user can create tables without a problem. I asked my DBA about this an she said this is normal "Don't worry about it", but I can't help but feeling like this is just wrong. Is the manual wrong or did I miss something when I created the user? I don't want to hand out roles I don't need to.
    Thanks! If anyone can straighten me out on these I'd really appreciate it.

    Actually CONNECT role allows the following privileges:
    ALTER SESSION
    CREATE CLUSTER
    CREATE DATABASE LINK
    CREATE SEQUENCE
    CREATE SESSION
    CREATE SYNONYM
    CREATE TABLE
    CREATE VIEW
    The problem you are having is that while you can create a table, you don't have any quota in a tablespace to create the table in. You need to assign quota to your user on a tablespace.
    i.e. alter user ME quota unlimited (or n) on data;
    Then you'll be able to create a table. The reason that granting the RESOURCE role allows you to create the table is that the resource role includes the UNLIMITED TABLESPACE privilege which gives you unlimited quota on all tablespaces in the database.
    This is a common misconception among many DBA's CONNECT gives you much more than connect to the database, if you just want connect to the database grant CREATE SESSION to the user.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi there.....some questions from a new musician (on this forum that is)

    Hey!
    New guy here......37 year old Swede, living in Los Angeles since 1988......guitar player since age 12. Pretty new to the whole computer recording thing, now working in GB3 and have Logic Express.......Some quick questions.......
    A decent audio interface?.......Right now Im running through a Line 6 POD XT PRO (the rack mounted version) It works great, for recording guitars (real) and bass and such, but recently aquired a Roland PC-200 MK midi controller, and the POD does not recognize other midi devices...? (understandably, as it is a guitar thingamagig)
    All my buddies do Pro tools, and was thinking maybe going the way of that......I understand the M-box works with garageband and Logic, albeit not SO good as let's say a Presonus Inspire or Firebox......What to do?
    Still debating wheter going with Protools or Logic? Positives, negatives please......
    I heard that ProTools is more live recording, versus Logic is more MIDI friendly.......? Understanfably you can do EVERYTHING you can do on Pro tools on Logic, I guess the difference is, if youre working with it (I am not) then perhaps if time is an issue, you choose one or the other depending on what works best.......
    I sit home, record, Time is plentiful, but do plan on recording a CD (solo material) mostly guitars, bass, midi drums and keyboard and vocals......
    Anybody with any input, suggestions etc.... will be greatly appreciated.....
    I'm glad to be here!
    Stefan

    Welcome to the forum Stefan.
    You are pretty much right on about Logic vs Pro Tools. Logic is mainly a MIDI sequencer (and the best one at that!) with added audio recording capabilities, while Pro Tools is mainly an audio recording DAW with some MIDI capabilities (I hear that Pro Tools 7 is pretty darn good with MIDI, but haven't tried it).
    Regarding the interface, what's your budget? If you have the money and are very serious about recording, I would suggest getting the Apogee Rosetta 800 (or 400). If money is tighter than that (as in my case) I would go for the Presonus Firepod. Best in it's price range by many accounts. If that's too many inputs for your needs, then I would suggest it's little brother, the Presonus Firebox.
    You'll also want to check into getting some decent monitors (speakers). All this stuff is useless without something to listen to. And they need to be accurate.
    Good luck,
    X

  • A few questions from a new iMac user!

    So far I am loving this computer! However there are a few things that I can not figure out how to do and really dont have time to go to the store for a class at the moment. So hopefully you will be able to help me out.
    1. We have iWorks installed and I am trying to make a simple calendar to hand out to my students with information about due dates and such. Previously I was able to do this on Word but I can not figure out how to do this here!
    2. How do I copy and paste?
    3. With this new mouse how do I get it so that there is a right click?
    Thank you all so much and I am sure you will see me on here plenty!

    1. We have iWorks installed and I am trying to make a simple calendar to hand out to my students with information about due dates and such. Previously I was able to do this on Word but I can not figure out how to do this here!
    Pages, presuming you're referring to Apple's iWork suite, doesn't have a template for a calendar included. There are some suggestions in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6949516
    You might also consider using iCal. You could set up a calendar just for student dates and then print that calendar only.
    3. With this new mouse how do I get it so that there is a right click?
    You'll need to go into the Mouse system preferences and define the right-click action. The default is for the "left-click" and "right-click" both to be a standard click.
    Hope this helps.

  • SEVERAL QUESTIONS FROM A NEW E71 USER

    Hi all,
    I am a new user of the E71 and have a few queries:
    1) why when I try to browse internet via contract internet or my own wifi the browser jsut sticks on ablank screen unless i enter a specific address - how do i get it to automatically go to a specified home page?
    2) I have a the option to access my work emails via a virtual server which is an internet address (mail.m******.com) i have hidden letters for security.
    when I try and access this via contract internet it wont let me it says web cannot perfor this operation. same when i try and sccess if via my own wifi. however if i access it via contract wap it works.
    3) re: point 2 - it also sometimes asks me for a username and password? and will not accept any passwords that it could possibly be?
    4) also when i try an download the mail exchange file it says file corrup? any suggestions?
    5) if I want to set up my work email properly on my phone is this something thats easy to do yourself or would I need my work IT dept to sort?
    THANKS VERY MUCH!!!

    Hello,
    For the initital page in the web browser, open the browser and then Options->Settings->General->Homepage. Here enter the page you want.
    I have no idea why you can not access that page. I would suggest to contact Customer Support and report the issue. It may be a problem in the phone or something is missing.
    To setup you email properly using Mail For Exchange, it is easy as long as you are using a Microsoft Exchange server and you know the server name, user name, password and domain.
    To download Mail For Exchange, you can also download it in your computer and then transfer it to the device or downloade it directly to your device going to http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php
    I also would contact customer support about the corrutped file.

  • Some question from a new N97 owner

    Hi all,
    So I just got my new N97. I have a few questions:
    - Configure home screen: So far I can add 2 shortcut bars (each can contain 4 application). I want to add more short cut bars, is there anyway? In the selection list when choosing the bar item to place on the home screen, there is no "shortcut 3" item.
    - Screen saver: So far my N97 locks key and screen becomes black and locked very fast (about 10 seconds) no matter how I try to change to settings. Actually there is nothing displayed (back screen) at all. And to wake up, I have to use the lock/unlock slide on the side. Is this normal? I can't touch the screen to wake it up? I got to Menu > Settings > Phones > play with settings there but no use. Do I need an application to have the screen saver feature? Is this a device flaw or do I have to change settings somewhere else?
    Thanks in advance.
    -Caten

    hmm i have a n85 as well hence my response to you in regards to the screen saver. yes it shows those options but eventually it does go all black. unless i missed something with my phone. which is possible as i no longer use it as my primary device. the only option right now for you to customize home screen is to wait for n97 app MyPhone that hopefully will soon be released for your model. nokia phones have never nor will they ever behave in a iphonish fashion hence no possibility to set apps up as you would like. n97 is full of customizations just not exactly how you would like them to be who knows perhaps with future updates it will become even more flexible but for now its either that or waiting for MyPhone to be released. sorry. 
    ps. i am greatly surprised that n97 would not have a screen saver options at least similar to the n85 that worries me as i am also awaiting arrival of my brand new n97. so hearing all kinds of news makes me a bit concerned about this new phone. time will tell. sorry i dont have anymore news for you.  
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Really embarassing questions from a new Mac user

    Okay, I have my new Mac Mini up and running and thought I'd test drive it by creating some simple holiday cards, recipe cards, gift tags, etc.
    What application do I use for this? I found text edit, but that doesn't seem to have any graphics or clip art so to speak and I don't want to use photos.
    Am I stupid? Or is there really no program for this sort of simple thing?
    If I need to purchase additional software, what should I get?
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure which stationaries you're talking about, although it's been a while since I used Microsoft Windows in a production environment. I know that Microsoft Works includes quite a few of them, but while it is bundled with many PCs, it's not part of Windows.
    I think iWork features templates for CVs and so forth, and it's supposedly very good for creating stylish documents. FWIW, iWork is usually released at MacWorld San Francisco in January, so you may want to hold off to see if iWork '07 is released (after all, it's just a month away).
    Also, while Pages can import and edit MS .doc files, it's not as good as some other applications. NeoOffice, which is based on OpenOffice.org, is free, Intel-native, and has good compatibility with MS Office documents.

  • A question from a new Blackberry user

    Hi all,
    I will be going for the 9360, but unfortunatly, my operator doesn't seem to support the Blackberry phones. There are a few others that do that here, but then you need to subscribe to the Blackberry service. Does anyone know if I will be able to set up my Blackberry phone so that I can use it without the subscription or will I need to have that? What will not work if I don't have it?
    Many thanks for any help!

    You will be able to use the BlackBerry for some services, such as Wifi browser, the camera, media playing etc., but very little data service such as email, BBMessenger, Facebook, or Twitter.
    You need the BlackBerry Data plan very badly, to enjoy full use of the device.
