Blurry iSight only when other party connects

I have read the numerous other issues with blurry video, however, I haven't seen one with my problem. My preview looks crystal clear until I invite another party for a video conf. Once they accept, my viedo gets slightly blurry.
My bandwidth is 4.5MB down and 500 kb up, which should be sufficient. I have made the changes to preferences/quicktime.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ben

Are you running ANY other apps while trying to video chat? If so, shut down everything, reboot your modem (and router if you use one,) restart your Mac, close any apps that you have set to launch as System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items, launch iChat AV only, and try video again. If you experience the same problem, you can try the following to track down the cause of your problem and resolve it.
ALL parties to the problem chat should Check Broadband Speed. (Buddy Names for iChat Test if you need testers.)
If speed is adequate for all parties, ALL parties to the problem chat should test with more than one other user to determine which system is causing the problem. Then the user of the problem system should troubleshoot and consider any untried Help for iChat AV 3 Problems suggestions that are relevant to the problem system.
Please let us know what fixed it for you.
Cheers,
Jim

Why dose not see the call waiting notification when other party in a call with some one ?

why dose not see the call waiting notification when other party in a call with some one ?

Because that is not a feature of the iPhone (or of most phones). If someone does not answer when you call, it means they do not want to or cannot talk to you at that time. They could be on another call or they could be simply busy doing something else. Why does it matter which?

Condition type has to executed only when other condition type is availabl

Scenario: We have two freight condition types YHD1 & YHD6. This YHD6 condition type is a Percentage type calculation and dependent of YHD1 value, for example
YHD1: 30 EUR then the condition value is 30 EUR
YHD6: 10 % then the condition value is 3 EUR
Issue: YHD6 is fetched from Condition records at the time of delivery document, where as YHD1 condition type is inserted into the delivery document through a BDC program in a custom program. BDC program is written in such a way that YHD1 condition record is applied on the first line. This custom program is supposed to execute only after PGI is done for delivery and shipment is created.
Since, YHD6 is fetched from Condition records; this condition is applied when the delivery document is created. And when this custom program is executed, system is looking to insert YHD1 condition on first line, but YHD6 is already exists this step is unsuccessful.
Requirement: is it possible to determine YHD6 condition only when YHD1 is available in the document. I mean, YHD1 condition type has to be executed first and then YHD6.

Hi All,
Thanks for repling to my query.
I will explore the opition of developing a Routine to restrict YHD6 condition type. But i have one doubt, suppose i have assigned a routine to YHD6 condition type and when delivery document is created, system fetches the YHD6 condition from the condition record, but due to this routine it will restrict to update the value.
But when i update the delivery document with YHD1 condtion through custom program, NOW, does the system calls YHD6 again so that now the requirement is fullfilled or do i need to update the Pricing again after YHD1..
I kindly reqeust you to clarify my doubt, however, i will take up this with my ABAPer and develop a routine.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
Sridahr

Ghost clip appears in canvas only when other clips are placed in its place

Gd afternoon, this may sound crazy but here we go. the space on the timeline is blank, and when the sequence is played the blank section shows nothing but black screen. however when i drop any clip in the empty space on the timeline an old clip I changed the speed of shows over whatever clip i just dropped in the empty spot. Again, when the spot is empty nothing shows, only when a different clip is placed in that spot does the "ghost" clip appear over the new clip and the space that the ghost clip holds shows a blue rendered line for the speed that was changed.
How do I get rid of this ghost clip?

+thanks, i tried to delete the rendered clip but no help+
No, what is required when the problem reaches the stage you described is to delete ALL of the render files for that sequence. One way to do that is to go to Tools > Render Manager and navigate to the problem sequence and clicking in the Remove column for that sequence. Then click OK.
That will delete all of the render files for the sequence. Then you re-render. This sometimes works, as I said.

Peculiar behavior when other party ends the call.

Hi everyone. Here's my scenario...
Someone calls me and I answer.
When the conversation is over the other party hangs up.
Before I can even look at the screen the entire user interface goes black and the phone goes into sleep mode immediately.
Is this the normal behavior for ending calls when the other party hangs up first?

When this happend to me, I thought something was wrong and made a appointment with a genious. He looked at it made a call had me call and then he told me that that was what it was supposed to do. He called a salesperson over that had an iPhone and had them call me and me call him. It is supposed to do that. I felt silly, but I got over it.

Tecra A5: touchpad issues only when AC adaptor connected

Hi,
I have a very strange pb with my tecra a5: when I plug the power supply, my touchpad behaves strangely (latency), as soon as I unplug the power touchpad is ok.
I have tried many things (including total reinstall + changing the touchpad), the pb is still there.
Any idea or similar experience?

Incredible, it solved my issue. In fact I had another AC adaptor (same model, same version), with this one the problem is no more there.
By parsing the forum I saw someone had the problem only when using his computer at home equiped with CPL, which is also my case ...
I wouldn't be surprised it's a matter of filter in the AC adaptor which are more or less sensitive to voltage spikes involved by CPL plugs.
Anyway thx for your help!

ITunes freezes only when iPod is connected to USB

Hello. Here's a real head-scratcher...
I have an iPod touch (model MA627LL, sw version 2.2.1) that I've used with no problem on this computer for a long time. It had not synced since last April, so I tried this morning, and have been troubleshooting ever since!
a) Windows Vista ultimate brought up Autoplay when I plug in the Ipod - so I went into Control Panel and told it to stop that.
b) Plugging in the iPod does NOT make iTunes come up
c) Open iTunes first (version 8.2.1.6) ad THEN plug in iPod - not only does it not acknowledge the device, but iTunes freezes. If I unplug the iPod, then it unfreezes! This is regardless of what USB pot I use. (Keep in mind this was never a problem before)
d) I made sure I have the latest Windows updates (gawd I hate Windows--but that's another topic)
e) I reset the iPod (but not sure if there is a "harsher" reset I should try?
f) Have rebooted the computer...
Three notes:
1) This is an almost-one-year-old high-end laptop from Sager with top-of-line everything.
2) I use a universal remote with my iPod (has worked fine for about 7 months) -- this stopped working with the iPod some time in the last few days. Interesting coincidence, eh? (BTW -- it's the Harmony remote from Logitech -- an AWESOME product!)
3) I recently went through heck to get some software running on my computer that requires a dreaded hardware dongle for security which uses the USB. It took MANY tries and good luck to get it to work... so I suspect it maybe screwed up my USB driver? BUT all my other USB stuff still work fine.
Any suggestions?

You mean a clean install or system restore of Windows Vista?
Wow -- I hope it doesn't take something that extreme...
(And again: gawd I hate Windows!)
Any other suggestions of things to try/look at before resorting to that?
Also -- when I go to Device Manager, there are no issues at all in the USB controllers list -- and in fact my iPod isn't listed there at all. However, in the "Portable Devices" section , my iPod is listed there -- and the properties says that the driver is provided by Microsoft (not Apple) and is dated 6/21/2006 and is version 6.0.6001.18000

Puzzling panther behavior -- aps launch only when others are open

Hello Appleheads ~
I complained a while back about a software update from apple which blocked itunes and Final Cut Pro from launching in 10.3.9. No solution was found.
Now I have found that when I launch Protools 6.4.1 first, I am able to launch and use itunes and FCP. I don't know why they work when I launch protools first, but I cannot launch them without opening PT first. Strange behavior, but I can live with it.
Any advice appreciated, however I am inclined not to touch my system -- as long as it behaves this way -- until I can clone my Mac HD.
thanks people

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

Restore works ONLY when external HDD connected?!

I had my laptop (MacBook A) sent away for repair, and in the meantime I used a temporarily purchased one (MacBook B) which I restored from Time Machine.
Now a month later, I received A back, and restored it from the last backup on B (last night). All seemed to work fine, until I tried using A unattached to the external HDD. When it is not connected, A turns back into the computer it was the day I sent it for repair, as if I did no restore from back-up at all... but when I connect it to the HDD again, it turns back into a clone of B as it should. I also hear the external HDD whirring when accessing certain programs, which makes me think it's accessing the restore directly from the HDD not the laptop. What did I do wrong?
Any help would be appreciated as I am leaving the country in 2 days for 3.5 weeks and need A to work properly!

Did you do a restore by booting from Leopard DVD and using the Restore in the menu?
If you look on the TM drive do you see one, two or three backup directories?

Page link error when other user connect to the oracle portal

Hi,
I have a problem which I just realized today. I have created a page group, named community, and this page group contains few pages that are created using templates.
My problem is, when my colleagues logged to the oracle portal using their account, they cannot see the pages that I created, instead, when clicked on the pages within the page group, they only see the page templates (only the skeleton). They should be able to view the actual page that I created using the template, not the template I used to create the page.
Anybody with this problem can help? or maybe others can help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you try granting the page to PUBLIC or the users whom you want to show the page to ..
Thanks,

No Volumes Show When Other User Connects to My Shared Computer

I've searched this forum and saw that others have had this problem, but I haven't found a solution. So forgive me if I've missed something...
I've turned on file sharing. Others connect through go:network: etc. and click "guest". The volumes window comes up and nothing shows. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

TS3367 how to silence facetime when i am making a video call? it seem to have a min volume which i cannot mute the other party.

only the other party mute the video then there is no sound. is there a way to mute the volume at my end.

Did you reset your phone? First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My smart watch just works when it's connected to the charger

Hi, I bought my smart watch just 2 months ago, and left it in my car charging.. well, the next day when I saw that the battery was fully charged, disconnected the watch and puted it on the armband it doesn't turned on anymore, no vibrations, no display, nothing. But when I connect it to the cable, the displays turns on and shows that the battery is fully charged, and the watch also turns on and is able to connect to my Xperia Z, but only when it's connected.. When the charger looses contact with the watch everything is over.
Can anybody help me?

Sounds like the battery has malfunctioned and can no longer hold a charge - You could try to run a repair using this thread although the process may differ slightly http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Wireless-accessories/How-to-check-if-you-have-the-latest-firmware-on-y...
If your watch is only 2 months old then it should still have warranty so if the above fails then I'd seek redress through your warranty via the place of purchase.

Sometimes when I am trying to make a call, I can't hear the connecting tone in my phone, but the other party's phone is ringing. It happens every now and then (not everytime), I wonder if you guys face this problem too.

sometimes when I try to make a call to someone, I can't hear the connecting tone im my phone, but the other party's phone is ringing. I have to end the call again and make another attempt. The connecting tone could only be heard after I made a redial. I have checked with many friends on different telcos, and they told me they also face this kind of problems. Can this problem be rectified?

I went back to the service provider twice and they reactivated my phone the first time and the second time the tech rebooted the phone and told me how to tell if it was on my end or the other person's end. Of course it didn't happen at the store, but right after I left I called a family member (on my plan) and the phone did this problem. It can be frustrating. The cell towers are strong in my area, so it can't be that. My next stop is to an Apple store but I am waiting until after Christmas. I can't deal with the shopping crowds!!!
