Any chance for a USB cam?

Hi.... I've just got myself a MacBook so I'm thinking of passing my old iBook G4 to my partner. Would it be remotely possible at all for him to use iChat (v. 3.1.5) with a pretty standard usb web cam? Or, what is the alternative? We live 11,000 kms apart now.
Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Can I use my ipad2 as a monitor for flexible USB camera

Can I use my ipad2 as a monitor for flexible USB camera. I have a flexible camera that connects via USB and has LEDs at the lens for illumination.

Not unless it is wifi and has an app.

Any chance for the "away" and "busy" statuses to make it back into Skype for Android?

I recently realized that the new (well new as of early July) Skype for Android is missing the "away" and "busy" statuses (and perhaps some other one as well). I've seen other users around this forum mentioning the same thing, but it's unclear to me whether this was done intentionally or not. Are there any chances for these statuses to be added back? And if not what has been reasoning behind the decision of taking them out? - Adriano

There is another topic, addressing this issue and also explaining it pretty good:http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Regression-in-4-0-Away-and-Busy-statuses-not-visible/td-p/1729768Unfortunately it doesn’t have much kudos either, even though it is pretty old. The worst about it is, that you aren’t even able to see the real status of your contacts: Contacts who have their status set to “away” are shown as online. Contacts who have it set to “busy” are shown as offline. (Which is even worse…)This simply can’t be intentional. Also.. It's been possible in older skype versions for android, it's also possible on ios.. So where is the need to get rid of the busy/away status in the new android version?

RAZR M reset itself automatically for no apparent reason. Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

MeAndCoke,
So sorry to hear she has lost all her contacts like that. Sounds like you are saying the device completed a factory reset on it's own. Is that right? I'm afraid unless the contacts and media were backed up somewhere prior to this happening they would be gone. Let's prevent that from occurring in the future and protect your contacts and media! You can set up backup Assistant Plus Contacts to back up your contacts: http://vz.to/1s5IAzj . Use our cloud service to back up your media: http://vz.to/1s5IDv5 .

Any chance for hebrew suppor

Any chance for hebrew support by your MP3 players in the future ?
I mean the ability of the player to display hebrew ID3tags...
Thanks.

I am stuck with moving objects/tables/spry around the page.
Sorry but DW is not a drag & drop application like Photoshop.   Owing to all the different browsers and web devices these days, there is no such thing as perfect WYSIWYG in Design View.   Use Split View with Live View. That way you can see a valid representation of your page in one panel while you edit code in the other.
Being able to work with code is essential. There's no way around it, especially for a project this advanced.
I am also ''fighting'' to connect dreamweaver database to WAMP in order to make the login form work .
Is Wamp server online?
Did you start all services?
By any chance, do you have Skype installed on your computer?
Skype reserves port 80 for its incoming connection which conflicts with WAMP, so simply configure Skype to use another port:
Open Skype, go to Tools|Options|Advanced|Connection uncheck the option --> Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections, that's it.
Close Skype. Restart Skype and Restart all services on WAMP by doing the following:
Left-click WAMP tray icon > Restart All Services"
Now Wamp and Skype can co-exist without conflict.

Synchronized capture for multiple USB cameras

I need to capture images from 8 USB cameras at the same time. I don't need to continuously acquire images (just one set every few seconds), but I need the 8 cameras to capture at very close to the same exact time. Just testing with two cameras at the moment, and one camera always seems to capture about 0.4 seconds after the other. Attached is the current VI I'm testing with.
Any idea how to speed this up? I thought having both grab.vi's in a separate frame would help make them occur at the same time, but it's still a lot slower than I hoped for. Thanks for any suggestions.

All depends from precision. 100 ms is not bad result. For better precision I would like to suggest to use cams with external triggers. The cameras with USB interface are also available, for example:

http://www.edmundoptics.com/products/displayproduct.cfm?productid=3356

Otherwise they may be incompatible with IMAQdx (the only DirectShow compliant cameras are supported). Point Gray Chameleon seems to be DirectShow compatible.

Any chance for more fonts on photoshop touch for android phones?

I've enjoyed the app for a while now... but, i've run out of creative ideas when dealing with fonts. is there any chance we can download more?

To get over this barrier, you could export your PS Touch project as a PSD or PSDX and work with it in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. (The latter requires Photoshop; you can't open PSDXs in Elements.) Not exactly an ideal solution but it's something.

Any chance for zune owners?

Hey! don't get me wrong, I LOVE my new MacBook Pro...but I also love my 30g ZUNE mp3 player.
any chance of getting the ZUNE to work with my MBP? is there a software patch or fix out there? anyone?!!!? thanks for any feedback!

*"any chance of getting the ZUNE to work with my MBP?"*
Currently, no....unless you install Windows on your MBP.

Our IPAD was dropped and now has a blue screen with little line pattern on the very left side (like a margin) - any chance for it's recovery?

Any solutions for this? Won't turn off - letting the battery die at this point to see if a restart will help. Any ways to save at this point? Thanks in advance for any tips or help!

Nevermind!!! We figured out how to fix it! Home button + OFF button for 30 seconds - restarted and we are down to 8 lives!!! YAY!

Yoga 13: any chance for open source Synaptics touchpad driver or touchpad API?

The Yoga is my 1st Windows machine in years. Coming from various MacBook(s) Pro(s) I dearly miss the capabilities and configurability of Apple's multitouch touchpad. While responsibility of the Synaptics device is fairly decent I haven't found an experience that is anything close to the one perceived on the MacBook touchpad. Latter in combination with BetterTouchTool is my weapon of choice when it comes to productivity. It offers almost unlimited configurability, that is, I can design/configure any gesture I desire and link it to a keystroke for instance. It's just perfect since I am not into Apple's predefined gesture settings at all.
Now I have spent endless hours in getting this back on my new Yoga. At least I am now able to use 3 finger swipes for back/forward navigation. However, this is just a fraction of what I need/want. That's why I am looking for a way to either be able to modify the driver myself (open source, Lenovo/Synaptics?) or get access to an API I can build on. Obviously I'd prefer latter option. Synaptics is touting their Gesture Suite but I cannot find a download somewhere. I'm afraid it's OEM only. And if that's the config app that comes with the standard Synaptics driver it's just pathetic.
So does anyone have a clue on how we can significantly improve the performance of this otherwise very nice laptop?
Thanks in advance,
stfn

just wanted to say that I open-sourced the work I completed on the project:

8.1.7: any chance for non-interactive install of developer6i ?

I have to do several identical installations of 8.1.7, including
developer6i (needing Forms support). Installation of 8.1.7 Server
from customized response files seems to work, except that you
have to swap CDs somewhere in between.
However, developer6i apparently only offers interactive
installation (either character or Motif based) - did I miss some
way for batch installation in the docs, or is there no chance ?

Should have searched a little further before asking : it's all

Revert to Factory Settings solved connection problems. Any chance for 3.0?

After trying everything else I could think of to resolve my Apple TV connectivity problems, I resorted to a Factory Reset. Presto!, my Apple TV now streams music like it used to, flawlessly. I miss YouTube, the other new features and the interface that comes with the upgrade to Apple TV 3.0, but I'm afraid I'll once again lose my ability to stream music (which is currently the most important use of Apple TV in my house).
Before I attempt reinstalling Apple 3.0 again, I was wondering if anyone else has insight on this. Is there anything different about going directly from Apple TV 1.0 to Apple TV 3.0 that might have been fouled up when going from 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0? I wonder if the incremental upgrades left "baggage" that was somehow incompatible with each other.
Any insight or advice is appreciated.
John

Yes that's quite possible, it can occur on a mac/pc, so why not the tv. If a file becomes corrupt it may not be able to be overwritten during an update.
I'm quite religious about my maintenance and update procedures, and although there isn't really much maintenance that one can do to the tv, I do update my tv as below:
My routine is:
0. Check for itunes updates and update if available.
1. Perform a sync of your library.
2. Remove ALL cables (for around 30 seconds)
3. Swap HDMI cables for component were possible.
4. Go to itunes prefs and check 'Prevent...from auto syncing'
5. Restart the tv.
6. Download and install the update.
7. Restart itunes.
8. Re-enable autosyncing in itunes.
9. Manually resync your library if autosyncing hasn't already done so.
Whether it helps or not, I have no way of knowing, but I will say I haven't had any issues with any of my 5 tv's.
Of course it may well be a case of something in the updated software that doesn't agree with your current network/security configuration.

Any Chance for Rebate for Early adopters?

I have been a bit upset with RIM, just a "bit", with the fact that early adopters like myself who went and bought the Playbook on day #1 are not getting any benefits. We stuck with Playbook even when email, etc were not fully available and paid full price. Now I see rebates and price reductions. Sure early buyers pay, but we also are the ones who carry the flag of RIM. Is there any perks or discounts for us?

Any Chance for a Simpler iTunes

I have purposely stuck with iTunes 8 on several machines. Version 9 and 10 were just too overweight. Especially the iTunes Store. In versions from 4 up through 8, I could easily browse the store, quickly sort on any number of fields to find music, and buy it. Now that I was forced to move to 10, the store is pretty hard to use. Search results live in little subwindows of the main screen, with lots of unnecessary stuff surrounding it. Its hard and very slow to sort, which I do when I'm looking for cover songs by different artists. Due to its pokiness, I have only done the upgrade on one machine, which prevents me from spontaneously buying songs when listening on other machines.
I would like a more lightweight version of iTunes, something more like the older versions. Even a separate, iTunes Lite version. I am a music buyer, usually finding music by internet radio, friends, public venues, etc. The new version has made it harder to spend money on music.

Suggestions to Apple will be best submitted through the iTunes feedback page. Your comments will be most likely to get to the proper people within Apple that way.
Regards.
