Can someone with a webcam and a pc be an iChat participant?

If so what do they need to do to get an AIM account or whatever to participate in an iChat session?

Hi,
I presume you mean Video (or Audio)
iChat with an Apple or AIM Screen Name can Video chat to AIM on a PC versions AIM 5.5, 5.9, 6.1, 6.5, 6.8 and 6.9
However this is sometime s a bit fraught and not as successful as it should be.
I will describe the steps for 1-1 Video chats as AIM can not do Multiway chats.
1) AIM on PC needs to be allowed through the XP Service pack 2 and higher firewall as an Exception
See here for details http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page12.html#_Service
2) The AIM app may also need to be allowed through any routing device.
Some devices have a Pre set although UPnP if the device has it will work
The App needs port 443, 5190 and 1024-5000 open.
3) The Mac end should make sure they can Video chat to a Mac Buddy.
Resolve that first before trying to a PC
4) At the top of the Forum is a section called Recent Users Tips
These are the newest or most recently updated tips
One is on this topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1968438
5) Although a bit dated there is also this site http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html
1-1 Video is possible with all version of AIM
Audio Only chats takes later versions (AIM 6.1 and up)
These can only be 1-1 and you question implies 3 and 4 way chats for Video like iChat.
Text chats can be as many people in a Group chat/Chatroom as you wish from any AIM Service able Buddy irrespective of platform.

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

Can someone with an iphone 4s ask siri if she is ever coming to ipad2?

Can someone with an iphone 4s ask siri if she is ever coming to ipad2?
I just finished updating my ipad2 to iso 5.0.
It's kind of disappointing not seeing siri in the ipad version of iso 5.0.
I hope that one day siri will come to ipad2.
I hear siri can answer almost any question, so can someone please ask siri if she is ever coming to ipad2?

She didn't understand or kept saying she didn't see any appointment for 2pm! LOL

Can someone explain purchasing, activating and signing up for iPhone.

Hi, iPhone hits UK in November and I'd like to be prepared. Can someone explain to me how it's going to work. In the USA where do you buy the phone - the Apple store, and what do you do just walk in a buy the actual phone as if it were an iPod? And then how does activation work? What is it, just registering the iPhone with Apple or signing up with the network provider? What stops you from just buying the phone and putting another AT&T or O2 sim in and not signing up for one of the contracts?

Presuming that it will look pretty much the same as it did for US customers, it will be something like this..
You walk into your local Apple store and purchase an iPhone, or you can order one through the UK online Apple store (or, presumably, O2 will sell them in their local shops).
You connect the iPhone to any computer which meets the minumum system requirements. It will recognize a new, unactivated iPhone and take you through the activation, which includes:
1. Entering your name, address, and payment info
2. Create an iTunes Music Store account if you do not already have one
3. Select which type of call plan you want (how many call minutes, how many text messages, etc)
4. Specifying whether you want a new number assigned or want to port your number from another provider (assuming this can be done in the UK)
You will then wait while the activation is completed, which can take several minutes. Once your phone is activated you will be able to make calls, send text messages, and use all the other functions of the iPhone, including syncing your contacts, calendars, and music to it. If you are porting a number from another service, once the port is complete you will be able to receive calls. If you are being assigned a new phone number, you will be able to receive calls right away.

Can someone with a brain help me get my software activated please?!

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite Web Premuim early in 2008. I registered it with Adobe on Jan 11, 2008 and have provided a copy of the screenshot of MyAdobe showing the serial number and date of registration. I have also provided a scanned copy of the DVD case with the matching serial number of my software. I have used it for the past 4 years and have had to call in for activation during this time as well with no problems. I purchased a new computer again and called in for activation and they will not activate it because they are saying now their records reflect that someone else registered this software in 2007. They have agreed with me that had this serial number been registered prior to me registering it then I would not have been allowed to register it but they still will not activate my software. They are saying they are trying to determine that the software belongs to me - but nobody can tell me what they are doing to determine this!! In the meantime I still cannot use my software and it's been 20 days since I first contacted them about this. They have told me someone would call me back on certain dates and times and I have not received call backs and I always have to call them. I have spent over 12 hours on the phone with them and trying to get this matter resolved.
There is no information on how to contact Adobe's legal department on the website and support would not provide it either. My husband is an attorney and would like this information so can someone guide me as to where it is located?

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

How can someone send a message and it shows up from my number

Please someone help me!!! I am getting messages from someone, I reply, but there is also someone else that replies and it shows from my phone number. it is like i am in the middle of someone elses conversation.. what is going on how can i fix it?

Try contacting your carrier to see if they can help.

Keyboard freeze in Finder - can someone with a 2-button mouse reproduce?

I've been having a problem where the Finder suddenly stops responding to key presses. I'm using a Microsoft IntelliMouse, and I'm trying to find out if it's the mouse or the Finder's fault. If you use a 2-button mouse, would you mind trying the following? (I don't think a Mighty Mouse will work for this):
1. Open a window in the Finder.
2. Put it into column view.
3. In the white background of the window, click both mouse buttons at once. You'll probably need to do this several times, so you can be sure they were pressed at exactly the same time.
4. Try to use some Finder keyboard shortcuts (e.g. arrow keys to select a folder, or command-N to open a new window. Nothing should work.
5. You can fix things by force-quitting and re-launching the Finder, or just restarting.
I can consistently reproduce this on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5. I used to have the same problem on a PowerBook G4 with OS 10.4, although I can't be sure it was caused by these exact steps. My mouse is http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-D58-00026-Intellimouse-Optical-Mouse/dp/B00005TQ 08 with no special drivers installed, just the built-in ones.
Can anyone else reproduce this, and tell me what kind of mouse, mouse driver, OS, and Mac you're using? Thanks,
Jacob

I was able to reproduce the problem using a Logitech MX510 optical mouse, built-in Mac driver (no 3rd party mouse software installed). I'm running Leopard on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core Duo.
Also, I didn't have to press both buttons at the same time; holding down the left-click and then right-clicking led to the same problem. Left-clicking while holding down right-click doesn't cause any problems.

Can someone hack my iphone and send texts from my phone number?

Someone said they were getting texts from my phone number but I didn't send them. Is that possible that someone hacked my iPhone and sent messages under my phone number?

No. If your phone is not jailbroken, they can not do so.
There are plenty of ways to spoof the caller ID string, though. It's illegal, but it can be done. The messages are not being sent from your phone. They are being sent from somewhere else by someone masquerading as you.

Can someone please try this and see if this works for them...

Hi there
I cannot get the following to work but according to the mainstage manual this should work. Could someone please try this and see if this works:
a. Create a new concert based on any template. Delete all patches except one (lets call this remaining patch X).
b. Add a Bass instrument channel strip at the Concert level (by selecting the Concert in the patch list and then hitting the '+' button on the right within the Channel strips and selecting Software Instrument).
c. Set the Concert level Bass instrument channel strip to play only on the first 2 octaves or so, by setting the Key Range parameters appropriately.
d. Click on the remaining patch X. You should see that it automatically has your bass instrument as a split on the left hand octaves on the Mainstage keyboard displayed. So everything good so far.
d. Now save the concert with any name.
e. Close the concert.
f. Re-open the same concert again. Click on the patch X. At this point I would expect the Bass instrument to be showing on the lower octaves. This does not happen for me.
I've spent a couple of days trying to see if I'm doing something wrong, but cannot figure this out. Please please someone let me know the outcome of trying the above. And if I'm doing something wrong to get this to work, kindly let me know.
thanks
Ziggy

Thank you all for your suggestions and taking the time to try this out. I think I've sussed out what the problem is.
If you create them like Thor mentions that always seems to work. Thor, I don't understand what you mean by hitting the "+" in the channel strip area. Doing this creates an additional channel strip and not a new patch.
What I was trying to do before was to include all patches in a set as well. So I have my Concert, then a Set, then patches within my Set. If I added a Bass at the concert level, it looks like this was then propagated to all my patches in my set. But when I closed Mainstage and re-opened, the bass wasn't there at the Set or patch level.
I really think there is a bug with Mainstage, where if you have Sets and patches within sets, any instruments at Concert level do not get inherited by the Set, patches in the set. I've tried this a few times and tried without using Sets. It always seems to work without Sets.
So the lesson is not to use Sets, if you want to share concert level intruments.
Once again, thank you guys for trying this out.

Can connect with Server Admin and Server Prefs, not Screen Sharing or ARD

Just set up 10.5 server on my G5, and trying to connect from 10.5 on my iMac. I have tried both with the server System Preferences set to allow Screen Sharing via VNC, and with Remote Management enabled for ARD. In both cases, I get authentication errors when trying to connect from home. I have tried with both the full username, and with the short name of the only account on the server. My assumption is that, since this is the administrator account, I don't need to setup explicit privs for it on the server.
I can authenticate without any trouble with both Server Admin and Server Preferences.
The Firewall is not enabled on either machine, although I am behind a NAT router at home -- is it necessary to open any special ports to enable screen sharing? Is it possible that having these ports closed would produce an authentication error?
Thanks for any help.

Hi
I'm going to assume you configured your Server in Standard Configuration and not Workgroup or Advanced?
When using Standard in setting up the server DNS is automatically configured for as well as the Server taking an Open Directory Master Role. The admin account created at the beginning is for administering the Open Directory. Unknown to you and not documented at all - as far as I can see - is the 'Local Administrator' (localadmin) account.
You only become aware of this account if for some reason you have a problem with the Server which involves demoting to Standalone (ie not an Open Directory Master) once this happens you find you can't log on to the Server anymore or communicate with any of the Server applications because it won't accept any username or password other than root and localadmin for the name and the password defined for the original admin account you created right at the beginning.
Sometimes it does not even take demotion to find yourself locked out of the Server. Some have experienced this problem when running the Security Update or when some other problem has occured.
Part of the process of creating an Open Directory Master involves the creation of a 'special' directory administrator account. This account is used for administering the LDAP node. If demotion takes place this account gets blown away along with all users and group accounts that exist in the LDAP node, in fact everything to do with Open Directory is destroyed apart from Users' home folders.
Why demote if this happens? Sometimes the LDAP database gets damaged/corrupted beyond a point where normal troubleshooting methods fail. This can happen for a whole variety of reasons but more often than not is due to a poorly configured DNS Service. You basically only have two options once you reach that stage. A server reinstall involving a format and rebuild or a demotion to Standalone. Which option would you choose? Prior to demotion you can (if you have the chance) export users and groups or even archive the LDAP database itself for restoration later on. This is a useful option as everything to do with the LDAP Server is retained - passwords, users, groups etc. The other method of saving users etc does not retain passwords.
As time goes on and you become more familiar with your server you will find more and more of this information out for yourself. Hopefully the simple advice I've given helps you understand Open Directory a little better.
Hope this helps, Tony
