Any way to use webcams with Microsoft Messenger?

Hi everyone,
Because all my friends are windows users, I use Microsoft Messenger talk to them. Is there a way to use my inbuilt iSight camera with MSN? Also, is there a way to have MSN running through iChat?
Thanks,
Charlie
p.s. Do you have to have an account with .mac to use iChat?

Hello Charlie
Here are some thoughts you can consider in addition to the good suggestions you have already received.
(1) If you want to run an Mac OS X client for the Microsoft Messenger Server on your iNtel Mac, you can use either Mercury Messenger or aMSN. Both can do text and video (but NOT audio) with your Messenger contacts, so use which ever you find more reliable easier to use.
(2) As an alternative, because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, or Parallels™ to run Windows® software, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows® Messenger application that your contacts are using to video chat with them.
The Windows drivers for your built-in iSight and your other Mac hardware are on the disk with Boot Camp so, after you have installed Windows, you can install the iSight driver and use your built-in iSight if you like. If you need more help on this, search or post in Boot Camp discussions category
(3) You CAN "have MSN running through iChat" via Jabber, but ONLY for TEXT chat. Here are some help sources:
iChat to MSN Through Jabber,
iChat Jabber Tutorial (site is currently slow or perhaps off-line), and
Jabber Servers
There is a blog summarizing the above at HOWTO - Use MSN, Yahoo!, or ICQ in iChat
The Jabber connection can allow you to connect for video or audio with other iChat (Mac) uses, but, at least the last time I tested it, it offered only TEXT connections to MSN, Yahoo!, or ICQ users.

Is there any way to use video with the new Flash CC HTML5 Canvas?

I am a long time Flash user trying to determine if this new version of the program is something to add to the workflow again (after the last several years of not being able to use it) and the tutorials I have seen are not well written. Is there a way to use a video file within the animation, like with the AS2 and AS3 versions of Flash where I could insert a video clip into a symbol and animate the symbol while the video played.
What I need to know is what format of video file I should use and how to add it into the timeline since Flash does not seem to be allowing for any type of import for this.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett

Ok, so there are limitations, are they written down somewhere? I have been looking for a list of do and do not functions and the ways to work around them. Are they in the documentation somewhere I haven't discovered?
Right now all I am looking to do is create Classic Tweens that animate movement and opacity so I can create a presentation with video that includes these elements. Is that level of functionality available in the HTML5 Canvas, or is that still on the drawing board?
Is there a specific name for what I am looking to do that would aid my search? HTML5 video is not enough since the answer has not been forthcoming in Google or on Adobe or Stack Overflow. I am starting to think that nobody has thought of this yet, or if they have they decided that it is not currently possible and skipped the part where the rest of us find out.
Any thoughts on making the connection to either doing this or finding out that it is just not possible yet would be very helpful.

Any way to use iSight with 2 apps at once?

I just got my new iSight, and it worked beautifully, right out of the box, with Yahoo Messenger (version 3.0 beta for Mac) and with the website Webcamnow. I am so impressed!
However, if I'm broadcasting on Webcamnow, then dare to launch Yahoo Messenger -- WITHOUT cam, mind you, just Yahoo chat -- the iSight image freezes up in the first app. Somehow, it seems that Yahoo Messenger, even without the cam enabled, interferes with the iSight video stream going to the other application.
I'm obviously a newbie at this. Does anyone know how I might get Messenger to work alongside the webcamnow broadcaster? Or should I accept that I can only run one cam-related app at a time?
Many thanks!
Skylar

Are you connecting the iSight directly to your mac or are you going thru a hub. I'd recommend connecting it directly to your mac.
Only one application can use the iSight at a time. I.E. iChatAV and not yahoo, or vice versa, but they both can be running.
Best of Luck!

Any way to use SFTP with ACS SE?

We're trying to keep ftp out of our network and I'd like to know if there is anyway to get sftp to work with the ACS Applicance or if there's another option for backups/restores other than ftp?

Currently the only way to secure a database backup is by encrypting it using a key from the section,
System configuration > ACS Backup > and put any key to encrypt the database backup from "Encryption Password" and check "Encrypt Backup File", and take a backup.

Internet Explorer is not available for Mac.
But you can make Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer in some cases.
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop, move mouse down to "User Agent".
    Select Internet Explorer from popup on the rightside.
    After using Internet Explorer, revert back to Safari, doing the same routine.

HT3702 Is there any way to use a pre-paid Visa card with my iTunes account?

I just received a prepaid Visa card as a gift and tried to use this card as payment info on my iTunes account. This didn't work, I suspect because there is no billing address associated with the card. Is there any way to use the card like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wonder why an Apple person told me this would work??
Apple should read this stuff once in a while.
Some prepaid cards appear to act as credit cards to the merchant. If yours is one of them it should work, but debit cards are not accepted for the iTunes Store.
Can you use a pre-paid credit card from Wal-Mart?
Do you mean an iTunes Card, the kind sold at Wal-Mart? Sure, that will work.
"Pre-paid" and "credit" are mutually exclusive.
I believe this way of thinking about it ought to be valid: if you need a PIN code, the card won't work.
I don't use debit cards so I can't be certain if this will apply consistently, but let me know if that makes sense.

The cheap & easy way is to just drag the app to the Trash.
If you want to get all of the associated files use an app deleting app like the free AppCleaner;
http://www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
Just drag an app and drop it on the AppCleaner icon in the Dock and it will find and present to you all the files it thinks are associated with the app. You can uncheck any that you want to keep and then let AppCleaner Trash the rest.

Not able to use webcam with 1.0 USB

Is there any way to use a webcam with only 1.O USB ports? I have the 1Gh emac which does not have the one 2.0 port and the "mac friendly" image webcam I have requires 2.0. I have seen on other discussions that it is not possible to upgrade this machine with a pci card. What is my solution to this. Are there other cameras that work on 1.0 with macs?

OSX does not support much other webcam's then the iSight.
Use this Application:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
Now you can connect all these webcam's (and many other's):

Is there any way I can take a Microsoft online course on my iPad?

I'm new to using my iPad, so forgive me if I sound ridiculous. Is there any way I can take a Microsoft Online course using this blastard iPad?
Maybe an app or something?

If its working with word, excel, etc no you cannot. Some classes have you do work on the programs and submit a finished product. Sorry if thats the case.
EXCEPTION:
I did some work for a computer class last year. It was all online tutorials etc. You went though the tutorials online(fake access or word) and didnt need the programs on your computer. That I could do, but it was flash player. I had to download a flash browser(puffin) and it worked. With this case YES

Any way to use an AD group for a batch script?

I have a .bat script that reads from a text file a list of computers and runs the script for each of them. But i want to make this happen automaticly if a user is part of that AD group. That can be done with GPO and running a script, but i still would need
to update my textfile. So is there any way i can communicate with AD through a script? So i can run it against a AD group instead of a textfile.

Your requirement is not fully clear to me regarding the automation you are planning to implement. In your post you mentioned you want to automate the process of reading computer object whereas the automation you are seeking is for users, so is it for users
or system? What exactly is your requirement?
Group policy can be used for automation esp group policy preferences based on subnet, group membership, IP etc. I don't think in-built dynamic group membership option is present within AD using criteria or role where as its available within exchange server.

Is there any way to contact verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?

Is there any way to contact Verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question? I prefer e-mail so as to provide details (like I am trying to provide here). I have tried in-store personnel (no help at all) and the web chat - they just want to see me more data instead of helping me with my basic problem!
I CAN NOT GET ANYONE FROM VERIZON TO GIVE ME ANY HELP NOR CAN I FIND A WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO DROP MY VERIZON ACCOUNT BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO GET OUT OF IT.
Here is my issue:
Chat transcript removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
BELOW IS A SCREEN COPY FROM REDDIT ABOUT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VERIZON CELL PHONE
So last night my RAZR MAXX HD did something totally bewildering by spontaneously downloading 2.6 GB of data over the course of ~ 3 hours. Fortunately I was able to catch this problem before it ended up being really expensive, but I still exceeded my 2 GB data plan by 600MB.
The Culprits:
Reddit News Free: 160 MB foreground / 0.96 GB background
Android OS: 0 MB foreground / 1.18 GB background
Several unnamed applications: ~ 350 MB
Screenshots:
The massive data spike
Android OS data usage
Reddit News Free data usage
Weird unnamed processes
Detailed timeline:
5:12 PM: Incident begins according to VZW data usage website (2.60410 GB used). This is around the last time that I used my phone at the laundromat before getting dinner and watching Game of Thrones.
8:04 PM: 50% of data allowance used (txt msg)
8:31 PM: 75% of data allowance used (txt msg)
8:58 PM: 90% of data allowance used (txt msg)
9:13 PM: 100% of data allowance used (txt msg)
10:05 PM: Got the text messages and immediately put the phone into airplane mode
10:30 PM: Took screenshots
10:45 PM: Enabled wifi, installed Kaspersky premium. Scan returned no threats.
11:00 PM: Left phone in airplane mode, went to sleep.
The questions:
What was the root cause of this issue? Did Reddit News freak out as a result of an esoteric bug or was my phone hacked?
If this was a simple Reddit News bug, then why was the Android OS also trying to use such a massive amount of background data?
What the hell are these unnamed numeric applications? I've inspected my process history and this is the first time they have ever attempted to use data.
I'm pretty sure that I can explain this situation to Verizon and get out of having to pay additional data usage fees, but I would like to know more about the problem before I get in touch with them.

All I can think is your phone may have background downloaded an OTA update, and you'd then be prompted with something like, "As update to your Android system has been downloaded, would you like to install it now?"
I do find it very odd that the update would be 2.6GB. As a rough base, the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware for your device is well under 200MB, so unless Verizon has a ****-ton of bloatware in the update, or it had to attempt to download multiple times for some reason, it may be a stretch.
But doing a little homework, it looks like the Verizon Razr Maxx was updated to 4.1 in late March. Maybe they're still rolling it out in waves? Have you gotten the update yet?
Edit: Aaaand I just noticed you appear to be running an AOSP-based ROM, which totally rules out a carrier update being sent out.
Edit2: If you want to live dangerously, you could try running:
#kill -9 12289
That 12289 is the PID listed in your screenshot. But don't run that without fulling understanding the kill command.
The ps command could also be of use, but probably not.

I can confirm that the phone is currently at 4.1.2 and that I wasn't prompted for an OTA update.The fact that both the Android OS and Reddit News processes were simultaneously using an extremely large amount of data is unlikely to be a coincidence...

That is very curious that the spikes happened at the same time.I'm curious. It may have put at least some of that 2.6GB somewhere. You could use a data visualizer tool to see if you can find it, which may lead to more clues.

The largest directories are:
DCIM: Normal looking photos (90,825 KB)
Android: Primarily map cache data (64,846 KB)
If it was downloading content then it did not significantly save content to storage. It's not like I have anything particularly sensitive on the phone, but the idea that it was uploading a snapshot of my data definitely makes me uncomfortable.

Yup, Digital Camera IMages and videos.Somewhere in /sdcard/Android would be my guess as to where a mysterious file would be downloaded, but if it's only 64MB, and mostly map data, I'd safely rule it out.I'm sorry, but I'm stumped here.Edit: I should mention I don't think this is malware, because unless a malicious app gained superuser access, any data it used would show under it's own apk in the data usage list, not Android OS.

Although I'm not really up to speed with the Android platform, I come from a UNIX background so I feel comfortable running commands. How do I pull up a bash terminal? Do I need to root the phone first?
permalink
parent
[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
There's a number of terminal emulators in the Play Store that work well. You don't need a rooted phone to get to the shell as your user, but any privileged command won't execute unless you can grant it permission from the Superuser app that is installed when you root the device. So you could probably do a ps -e, but not a kill -9.

Got it. I downloaded a terminal emulator but unfortunately those processes no longer exist.Does Android keep a generic log of system level events like /var/log/syslog?
permalink
parent
[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
I don't think so, and I know you'd need superuser permission to read most of the files in /var/log anyway. I'm not super familiar with how Android does its logging, but I do know that the two files of interest are the logcat and dmesg.

Want to mention here that using your settings to set your data cap (set it on your billing day), then you won't go over again.Those text messages are really unhelpful, as they send out well after the data has been used. Chances are good you hit close to the 2GB mark before you received the bulk of the messages.

Quit installing pirated apps.

[–]lechnito[S] 1 point 1 year ago
That's definitely not the case here; both my PC and and Android phone are free from pirated apps.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Any way to use filter to exclude tables in navagation pane?

Is there any way to use filter to exclude a set of tables from the table list in the navagation pane? I have a number of tables (15+) starting with the same prefix eg. AB123 that I would like eliminate from the list. They sort right to the top and I always have to scroll down, and go through the show more dialog to see the entire list.
I am sure I'm missing something, but not sure what. Help Center has nothing to offer.
Thanks
Glenn

This has been mentioned on the forum before - basically the need for more elaborate ways to filter (multiple conditions as well as 'not like'). It is on our list for future consideration, meaning post-production.

Is there any way to use -useLegacyAOT option in FlashBuilder 4.6?

I need to build my ipa with old version of Engine because i have some problems about loading images from outside. Since with Air 15 it is default engine, and i cannot quit Air 15 because of the iTunes specs. I cannot add -useLegacyAOT=yes to compiler options on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 because it seems that it can be added at FB4.7.
So is there any way to add this options when i am using FB4.6
Thanks in advance.

Editing pages created using dreamweaver with microsoft's visual studio express

Here's a quick, somewhat vague, question for anyone who might have an answer. Is there a trick to editing pages created using dreamweaver with Microsoft Visual Studio Express? The reason I ask is I recently finished a web site for my first client who now wants to make edits herself using the program she uses, that being Microsoft. I thought it would be as easy as pulling the html files from the server (or the usb flash drive i gave her), making changes and then putting them back to the server, but apparently she is having some problems. I'm meeting with her soon. I have no experience with any other programs, other than Adobe, so I don't know how much good I'll be in helping her. Maybe it's an easy question, maybe not. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Dreamweaver template commands are all wrapped in HTML comments, so they
shouldn't cause any problems. They should simply be treated as comments.
However, the concept of editable and locked regions will be ignored.
Hi David, I meant the templates with the dwt extension, not the html files that are created from them. The full version of VS will recognize the dwt extension as 'Dynamic Web Template' but as this is a microsoft extension it does not recognize the code for editing and shows a large number of errors, (before anyone comments the dwt file extension is used by a number of other programs, all referring to a different file type).
