Anyone know's how to make isight camera take snapshot for failed login attempts ?

I want my macbook pro to take pictures with the isight camera when someone has a failed login attempt ; anyone know of any programs and or apps ? I've searched all over & even called apple support and no luck.
Thanks !

If I want to count the number of failed login attempts what might be the best course of action?
Off the top of my head I figure I could:
Have a session variable that counts up to number X
Have a cookie variable
Insert the users IP address into a database table for each failed attempt and when the form loads I check to make sure there aren't X number of strikes in the last 30 minutes.
A combination of those might be a good idea. Most hackers are, luckily, amateurs with one-track minds. Create a database table to log failed login attempts. For every failed attempt, log at least the datetime, IP, sessionID, username (which should be unique on your site), reason for failure and failure count.
In a query following a failed login, verify whether the IP, sessionID or username match any in the failed_login table, and, if so, whether the current datetime is within, say, 12 hours of the last failed login. If yes, increment the failure count by 1. If no, insert a new row in the table.
Use client-friendly messages to inform your visitors why their login fails. Study failed logins for common patterns. It just might be that you are the culprit, and that you have to improve your login design. There is one good reason for doing all that. Then you will know that those in your failed_login table really had it in for you.
If your site traffic is high, then consider archiving old data. Throw nothing away!

Make iSight camera take a snapshot of the user when keywords are typed

I work in an APR and we have a lot of trouble with people trying to look at adult content on our customer machines. Obviously we have blocked these types of sites, but we cannot keep tabs on all the proxies. We have also deleted Photo Booth off of the machines otherwise the machines are 3 people deep on weekends and we cant demo stuff to customers. does anyone know of any free apps that will take a snapshot of the user when they type in a keyword such as "Adult Games" or "Meatspin", save that file and the word they typed on the HD somewhere? Or, some way of making Automator do that? Don't forget that we do not have photo booth on the machines. And it would be nice if the App/automator didn't make the iSight camera light come on, and also notified us when a keyword has been entered.

SL with VMFusion & WinXP-how to use iSight cam in Winxp

I was trying to follow directions for how to make isight camera work on windows side and got stuck where it talks about putting in(*it says Leopard, but I've updated from d/l to SL) CD as I did a DOWNLOAD/install of SL so where are the files kept? Here's the list and I wonder how to continue if file someplace on a download-see my questions next to[*]:
Insert the MacOS X Leopard disc in the DVD drive.
Open VMware Fusion.
Select the virtual machine running Windows and click Play.
Ensure that the CD drive is connected to the virtual machine.
From the Fusion application menu, click Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > Connect CD/DVD.
[*I started here]Connect the camera to the virtual machine. Click Virtual Machine > USB > Connect Apple Built-in iSight.
[*I did this]When the Found New Hardware wizard appears in Windows, click Cancel.
From the Windows desktop, open My Computer.
[*stuck here, D is CD drive, so where can I find the next DRIVERS from download?] Ctrl-click WindowsSupport (D:), then click Explore.
[*where is this on d/l?] Navigate to D:/Boot Camp/Drivers/Apple.
Double-click AppleiSightInstaller.exe.
Follow the onscreen prompts.
Click Finished. The Apple iSight camera is now ready for use.
----or if all of this makes no sense, does anyone having same hardware know how to make VMwareFuison(vs. 2.0.5-older vs)/winxp see my isight camera?
Thanks ahead for ALL help!
p.s.Reason: trying to find some program to do video chat from macbook to person on pc. I tried ichat, and have only visual(I can see and hear them, they can only see me), for some reason after snowL.upgrade sound doesn't work in ichat.(all volumes up, sound settings checked);I tried AIM on windows side thru VMWareFusion/winxp and can't find my isight cam.

The Boot Camp drivers are located on the SL DVD, but they are only accessible from within Windows. If you open Boot Camp Assistant and print out the documentation that may help you get an idea of what's required for Windows when booted directly rather than through the VM. And you might reread whatever information you were using to be sure you got the instructions right.
But the Apple Discussions is a user-to-user help site for Apple products. There is no help forum here for VM Fusion. There is a forum for Windows and for Boot Camp. But your question is unrelated to OS X and unrelated to Installation and Setup of OS X. Therefore, you should either post in the Windows forum here or go back to the VMWare site to look for help.

Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition?

Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition like the opening of "Oh Brother where art though" ?
You know the scene at the start where it starts off Black and White then as we move down the timeline it transitions to a rusty brown gradually.
It's on the Apple site for FC Studio as a promo clip.

how to do a keyframe trasition in the Color FX room
I realize that you can "add" keyframes to the timeline in COLORFX, but I don't believe they are always observed, and then they usually disappear in retrieved projects, and aren't persistent if you leave the room. To remember where they are... you might mark in a keyframe on those frames in another room as a pathfinder. The behaviour is consistent with a creature of the six-legged variety.
Method 1. If you are trying to taper the effect (any effect) in COLOR FX, the most linear approach is to render two versions of the clip; one "with", one "without" and do an opacity fade once you have returned them to Final Cut. This gives you the most control, flexibility, repeatability and consistency.
Method 2. You may attempt to keyframe the bleach bypass settings within the node itself -- the preset that comes with COLOR doesn't have any controls, but the Nattress plugin does.
Method 3. Set up a "blend" node with your bleach bypass feeding one of the inputs and leave the second input to default to the untreated video... keyframe a transition from "1.00000" to "0.00000" and that should work.
Note: the keyframe timeline markers will disappear from the timeline if you exit the clip, but the effect is likely to persist. At least that was what was happening a couple of minutes ago... for me, the effect and blend performed the transition just like it was previewing when rendered. This strategy is subject to being created and rendered "on the spot right now", and I advise making sure you have your renderqueue settings ready to go... load the clip from the COLORFX room using the Mac command bar at the top of the screen and render it right away. Don't try to save it for later. Just Do It.
An announcement went around about two weeks ago that Mr. Deakins' website was back up and running, so give him another try... poor guy has been swamped probably doing Dreamweaver maintenance... yeah, that must be it...

N73 how to make the camera MUTE (no click sound)??...

I want to know how to make the camera without any sound during taking the picture in NOKIA N73 music edition.
please tell me as soon as possible
Thank u

Typical for discussion forum, the experts to give usless advice( ie "try silent mode") folowed by " its a privacy issue".
I am unable to mute the camera on my E71. I also assumed it was a legal issue. Recently a friend of mine, showed me the Iphone 3Gs take a picture silently. Silent photography with a cell phone is possible.
This looks like something for a symbian upgrade or even a third party camera app.
Send your camera upgrade request to Nokia, cross your fingers.

Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip? I shot it so that it is sideways on my computer screen and I cant figure out how to rotate it.

Does anyone know if/how to rotate a video clip in iphoto? I shot it so that it plays sideways on my computer and I cannot figure out how to rotate it. Thanks.

You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8

Has anyone figured out how to make the Yamaha 01V96i mixer work with Logic 9.1.8 as a control surface ?

In YAMAHA01v96i:
Go to DIO/SETUP select Generic DAW. Go to MIDI settings page and set the desired port (personally I use Number 1), Select the same audio frequency you use in your DAW (I use 44.1KhZ)...at this point You should save a scene in you 01V96i to avoid to repeat all the procedure again.
Open studio manager, go to patch and set the input port from 17 to 32 respectively to USB1-USB16 (this will give you the return from you DAW to the 01v96i
Save again the scene overwriting the old one.
in LOGIC
Click on preferences, select Audio then select 01v96i, then click on control surface and select Mackie design Baby HUI and in the midi session set the same port that you've been setting on the Yamaha 01V96i (Port 1 if you follow this example).
That's more or less it.
It worked for me...so far

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!

Does anyone know about how to get the blue light @ the top of the left corner of the Samsung Galazy 3 to quit flashing continuously?

Does anyone know about how to get the blue light @ the top of the left corner of the Samsung Galazy 3 to quit flashing continuously?

It would appear you have some sort of notification set up and have yet to look at the app which is sending the notification to the phone.
You would have to first determine which app is sending the notification and then change the settings in that app to disable notifications if you no longer want to be alerted by that app.
