Complete beginner, assistance required

I am just starting out on the webcam thing & I have just aquired an external isight with fire wire connection: I have a number of questions:
Have I aquired the correct webcam? I hope so as it was an ebay buy!
What else do I require to be able to use it? I have Ichat
Do I need to get 'Skype'
What do my friends require so that we can video chat, bearing in mind that all of them are running a pc without Isight.
Basic questions I know, but hope you experts can help.
Thanks

Hi
To use iChat you will need a .mac or Aim name.
Free 60day trial .mac(click on free trial on the top) here http://www.apple.com/dotmac/ keep your .mac name after the 60days.
or free AIM name here https://reg.my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/registration/initRegistration.psp
If your videoing with a PC Skype might be easier, you will need a skype name.
Mac version http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/
PC version http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/

    Dear Mr. King_Penguin,
    Apologies in advance. I am an absolute newbie, and couldn't figure out how to "send" this other than checking your recent activity. I'm certain you get plenty "Thank you's". (This is another, -so please begin to skip here if the accolades are a nuisance!!) I promise that before I plague you w/ questions I will read as much as possible of what you've already "posted".
    I've used IOS devices for years- yet I am still very much a beginner, especially searching for ways to utilize my devices to a "greater extent".  My ios phobias began when I was gifted an iPod; terrified using "iTunes" on PC laptop, certain that syncing specific things would result in loss of data, cold sweats when a new "IOS Update" arrived, shock horror and awe at the entirely foreign & colourfully creative world of "Apple Language". Today my sadly underused iPad (4th Gen.) froze. The first go-to "reboot" wasn't working and the only thing on the device I had access to was Siri- and we really don't get along or talk very often...  On June 10th 2012 (4:10am) you posted & responded to a query.  (A "soft-reset"?!! Brilliant!) That post, saved me from pitching all my devices into the bin, today-three years later. After wasting hours fiddling w/o hope, I dipped a toe back in to Apple.com "support communities". I found your post quickly. Not at all the case (for me, with my ingrained "PC lingo") in the past. So, I thank you one thousand times, I've no idea why there exist tech angels such as yourself, why you do what they do for free, w/ no obvious benefits or profit-but I'm a "follower" now. Apologies once more for posting this here- I will go back to the newbie section and try to figure out all the things I should know to avoid future etiquette faux-pas. Sincerest thanks!!

  • From a complete beginner

    I have been given a JAR file and a HTML document explaining the classes . I have extracted the files from the JAR and it is created a directory structure with a class file in
    I now want to write a simple java program which will execute a method of the class what are the steps I should take? I have only written a "Hello World " program in java so a complete beginner
    Can someone explain if I should of extracted the files from JAR and what are the steps I should do next are
    Thanks

    You don't need to extract the JAR. You can simply add the JAR to your classpath.
    Example:javac -classpath .;<any additional jar files or directories> YourClassName.java
    java -cp .;<any other directories or jars> YourClassName
    Javapedia: Classpath
    Setting the class path (Windows)

  • Someone please help a complete beginner with Enterprise Manager!

    Question moved from
    Someone please help a complete beginner with Enterprise Manager!
    Please be gentle with me, I'm absolutely new to all this. We don't have a proper DBA and I've been tasked with the role. There is no-one else in the company with oracle experience and we don't have any support. Until now I've just used enterprise manager to manage the database, but now I have a problem..
    We are using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 10g. I (stupidly) installed some network monitoring software on our server (PRTG network monitor). I almost immediately uninstalled it and all components/registry settings, but it seems to have thrown something out regards the OEM web interface.
    We used to access the OEM GUI through http://<hostname>:5500/em, but after installing/uninstalling the network monitor software the OEM webpage would only stay up for a few minutes, before saying 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'. Restarting the DBconsole in services fixed the problem, but again, only for a few minutes.
    Spent all day yesterday looking at logfiles (they didn't make much sense to me), but seemed to be saying access was denied to the server ('actively denied it'). Lots of googling led me to believe I needed to reconfigure OEM by dropping and recreating it using:
    emctl stop dbconsole
    emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
    emca -repos recreate
    during this process I was asked for various passwords and a port number? I didn't even know what to use as the port number but guessed it was 5500 ?!? (probably wrong). As it didn't work I used the default port number that I found somewhere on the web.
    However now I am even deeper in the **** as this didn't work either, (some error about listnener?) and I have now lost the DBConsole in windows services. Obviously the OEM web console doesn't work at all now
    I would be eternally grateful for some patient, beginners help here..I can post whatever log files are necessary - I just need to know what I'm supposed to be doing and where to start..
    We used to log on to the OEM as 'SYSTEM', but nowhere in the process does it seem to ask me for the password for that (its asked me for SYS and SYSMAN)
    It could be that I'm going about this completely wrong, but with only a days experience in all this its pretty hard to know what I'm doing really!
    As you can tell I'm in way over my head..I just need OEM web interface to work!
    Thanks in advance

    ok, thanks to helpful comments from other people in my initial thread (posted in general database forum), after rebuilding the console/repository I now have EM up and running. But there are more problems..
    Firstly I have an error at the very top of the screen:
    java.lang.Exception: Number of responses does not match queries
    Also, the 'Host CPU' and 'Active Sessions' are blank and say 'No Data Is Currently Available' beneath them
    my emagent.trc file contains this error, repeating with different thread IDs every 30 seconds...
    (error = 10061)
    2012-04-30 17:19:28 Thread-4376 ERROR pingManager: nmepm_pingReposURL: Cannot connect to http://hostname:5500/em/upload/: retStatus=-1

  • WIP over-completion increased component requirement qty

    Hi all,
    In normal situation, produce 1 product just 1 component. So that we create a discrete job in ebs to produce 1000 pcs of product and the component requirement qty is 1000 pcs.
    However, in some cases, factory can produce more products based on this components.
    To record the actual completion, we use 'Over-completion' and input 1011 pcs of product to complete.
    The ebs system automatically change the component required qty = 1011 pcs. It makes factory seems need to procurement 11 pcs more to complete the production. (it also affect the MRP planning).
    Please kindly advise how to fix it.
    Best regards,
    Laurie

    Hi,
    As mention "WIP over-completion increased component requirement qty" - yes, this is seeded functionality.
    In Oracle, WIP Over completion qty is nothing but extra produced qty as per WIP job Qty. (ex. Job qty=10, total produced qty=12, i.e. 2 is over-completion qty)
    Please explain expected requirement with example so that will figure out possible ways.
    Thanks

    whenever i m trying to install firefox the error will come that is previous firefox want complete uninstalation its required to restart the computer when its restart its not installed tell me why in

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Which book is best for learning Lightroom 5 for a complete beginner?

    I'm an Aperture user and as everyone has heard the news, a lot of us are considering switching over. I went through the Apple pro-training aperture, logic, and FCP books and loved the format of those. I've been reviewing my options for LR5 books on Amazon and I see a couple, Kelby, Evening, and The Adobe Classroom in a book. I kind of like the classroom in a book format as it resembles the Apple book's format. Which book is best for learning LR5, from a complete beginner's perspective?

    I would avoid Kelby like the plague. I didn't like his book, I felt his chapters on the Library module were effectively useless and off the mark.
    I would start with the free e-book Lightroom 5 - Free Quick Start Guide PDF eBook | The Lightroom Queen
    I would also watch some videos at Products | Lightroom | Adobe TV
