When I try to use iSight with iMovie and it says no camera available in iMovie '08

iSight won't connect in iMovie... HELP! I found an article regarding the issue but I think the version of iMovie was different than what I have because it really did me no good.

Here are my suggestions for your iMovie '08 problem.
One of them will resolve your trouble. Try them in
any order you like, testing camera function after
each one until you have found the one that worked.
• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
    try again. A simple restart often clears up minor
    issues, including yours.
• I am using iMovie '11 with no problems. Some
   problems have been reported with the iMovie 9.06.
   However, I can't find compatibility info for ver 8.
   If possible, consider updating to this latest iMovie:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/
• Try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions. The specific "reset" procedure suggested
   there for your particular MBP model often restores normal function.
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581
    (yes, use this Combo even though you are already running 10.8.2)
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.   Then check whether your Mac's  > Software Update... menu command tell you that other updates are needed. If so, apply them and finish with another permissions repair.
• If you still have problems after properly applying the Combo,
   try OS X's Recovery feature http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
   to repair your hard drive or, if all else fails, reinstall a fresh copy of OS X.
• Properly applying the latest Combo update or repairing or
   reinstalling OS X can usually correct software problems.
   However, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem,
   there are no user serviceable parts of your webcam.
   For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

I bought a new Time Capsule 2Tb. I connected it to my internet router. I manage to set it up as base station but when i try to use it with time machine I always get the message "Check your IP addres"? What am I doing wrong? On my computer I have OSX 10.7.5

What IP address does the TC have and what IP does the computer have?
We need more info as we really have no idea what your network looks like.
Modem router, model, type of broadband?
TC setup as bridge or router?
Is the computer getting internet via the TC?
Are you using wireless or ethernet?
Have you set IPv6 correctly to local link in the computer on whichever network client is doing the connection?
Did this work the first time for backup and has now failed? If so simply reboot the TC. It is a constant bug that the TC is lost to the network.

Hi,

I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
Best of luck.

Since you have already isolated it down to your home network, if following Steve's instructions do not fix your issue, contact your Internet Service Provider or Router Manufacturer and make sure your network is set up according to this information: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

Ichat quits when i try to use isight

i just got an isight and it works great on my powerbook but when i try to use it on my mac pro its force quits instantly
please help

Ummm,
Very odd. An Archive and Install will install the App and support folders again.
What it does not do particularly if you "Preserve Settings" is that you Home folder and its contents including the .plists are kept.
I would delete all the iChat ones at this stage.
And Restart iChat.

(solved) When I try to use IE, Firefox opens and finds the site instead. How do I stop it?

When I try to use IE, Firefox starts up and takes the address from IE and opens it in Firefox. I need to use both browsers. How do I stop this?

I imagine you have Firefox set as the default browser. Unset that in firefox
* Tools -> Options -> |Advanced| -> |General| -> system ... <br/>and uncheck the option to always check that Firefox is the default browser
* now open IE and use IE's settings to set that as the default browser
Now if for instance you open an internet link, or a HTML file on your Windows XP desktop they should open in IE
Post back with how you get on.

How do I resolve Licensing Error 6 when I try to use CS4 with new OS 10.8.4 system

I recently purchased a Mac Mini which uses OS X Mountain (10.8.4). (My old G5 with OS 10.5 had died.) When I purchased the Mac Mini I was told that my old Adobe Creative Suite 4 would still work. However, when I try to start up any application, but Photoshop for example, I am told that Licensing has stopped working and that I have Error 6. Does any one know how I can resolve this?

You need to contact Adobe about that. You will need CS6 or above.

I get InvalidOperationException when I try to use Metadatatype with a viewmodel

I have a model with certain properties. I use separated a class with the MetadataType to define requirements for properties. I also try to use the same metadata class with a viewmodel defining just a subset of properties. This is a simple example code of the
situation for clarification:
[MetadataType(typeof(Metadata))]
class ModelA
public class Metadata
[Required]
public object Property1 { get; set; }
[Required]
public object Property2 { get; set; }
public int Property1 { get; set; }
public int Property2 { get; set; }
[MetadataType(typeof(ModelA.Metadata))]
class ViewModelA
public int Property1 { get; set; }
The problem is when the razor engine tries to process the view, it throws an InvalidOperationException with the following error message:
The associated metadata type for type 'ViewModelA' contains the following unknown properties or fields: Property2.
Please make sure that the names of these members match the names of the properties on the main type.
In my understanding the problem here is that the metadata contains properties which the the view model does not. However, this way I don't really understand the advantages of having a metadata class. So my questions are
1) Is there a way to prevent of throwing this exception?
2) If not, what it the best pattern to this situation? (like using a model, a viewmodel, which contains the subset of the properties of the model, defining data annotations by keeping the DRY approach).

Firefox crashes when I try to use it with Windows7

I have sent crash reports and heard nothing back. HELP!!! Release me from IE!!! Please! Firefox won't even come up on my screen, just says it's crashed and a report will be sent. I've re-installed it 2X now, and it still won't work. It worked just fine on a previous (Win XP) computer, and I loved it, but my current computer came with Win 7, and Firefox doesn't work at all.

I'm expreriencing the same conditions with the same environment. Windows 8, iTunes-64 11.1.2.32, iTunes Store with a processing bar up to 80 +/- and the POPUP MESSAGE OF "iTunes stopped working. The error ...."
I UNINSTALLED, iTUNES WITH NO POSITIVE RESULT. I CHECKED THE FIREWALL AND IS THE SAME DEFINITION AS THE PREVIOUS ITUNES VERSION.
My iTunes StoreS from my iPhones ARE OK.
I'm spending a lot of time of research for WINDOW'S iTUNE with no solutions....

I have an iPad mini with 16gb and it says I only used 13.4gb but when I try to download a game or something it says not enough available space when there should be at least 2 go left

What do I do to get back my space?

THe game likely needs space to 'unzip' so to speak and expand. Not to mention that on a 16 gig iPad, you only have 13 and change left after you take the operating system into account. (Settings, general, usage will tell you how much room you have left)
You can always delete some content to make room. Or if you ever synced it to a computer, download your game via the computer then sync it onto you device, you don't need as much free room that way.

Acrobat dominates my spreadsheet capabilities. When I try to use Excel, PDF interrupts and takes over

My setup for Adobe is flawed. When I open an Excel spread sheet, Adobe wants to operate the spreadsheet and save it as PDF. How do I change the setup to eliminate problem?

Hi Camacho,
Acrobat will not save the spreadsheet as PDF unless you click on the option to do so.
Do you face the issues with all the spreadsheets?
What happens when you launch Excel?
What version of Office are you using?

TS4006 my ipad was stolen while on vacation in mexico. when i try to use icloud to find it it says i have no devices set up on icloud. is there any other way to track it? also is there any way to cancel a remote wipe?

i need help. i am currently in mexico city. i was staying at my cousins house and yesterday when we got back for going to museums we saw that the apt had been broken into and everything taken including my ipad. i have it set up with icloud so i tried to find it but it told me that the service was unavailable at the moment. since i have a lot of personal information on my ipad i chose to remote wipe it. i havent receivec a confirmation email so i believe it hasnt been done yet. but now when i go on icloud.com it says i dont have any devices set up. is there anyway to cancel the remote wipe and find the ipad? i have it password protected so im afraid that whoever stole it might have tried to figure out the password and ereased everything. i would really apretiate any information that might help me recover my ipad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, instructions to remotely wipe cannot be cancelled.

I am trying to update iTunes, but when I try it comes up with a new window saying that the installer can't be found. I also can't uninstall iTunes for the same reason.

I've tried to uninstall iTunes to start over again and it won't let me, and have also gone through the step-by-step guides on Apple Support.

What's the precise text of the error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Error when I try to use the XMLElement(), XMLForest(), etc functions?

I'm getting an "invalid column name" error when I try to use the xmlelement() function (and the like). Is this function only available on 9i Release 2? How do I find the SQLX functions and/or load them up for use? Hopefully someone will see this as a quick question and answer it for me!
Cheers,
Fish
