  • Can't access camera for group video calls

    I seem to be unable to access the camera function for video conferencing.  I have a windows 8 , 64 bit operating system and I am wondering if there is a specific thing that needs to be addressed.  Even when I close out ecery other program open and reboot the PC, it says that it cannot access it even though as far as I know it is not being accessed by any other program.  Any suggestions?  

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Enabling small video preview when video calling on...

    Hi everyone, I'm new to windows 8.1, but am familiar with using skype. I was wondering if anyone could help resolve my problem.
    When video calling my friend, I exit the skype window and want to do other things while chatting and want to have a small skype window (video preview) of the person I'm chatting with. I had this on my old computer (Windows 7) but can't seem to find the setting for this on Windows 8.1. If anyone can help me locate this setting, and help me out, please let me know.

  • Samsung Note 3 front camera quality on video call

    i love skype on my samsung galaxy note 2 the sound and video quality is good,,,,but not on note 3...i only get black and white video quality and get a lot of dropped call...skype,please fix this issue...

    I don't have the white balance problem but was stuggling to get the app to do decent video calls.  I just uninstalled/reinstalled it and now its able to do 720p.
    Stupidly its all done in software though so I am only getting 10fps with 50% - 100% CPU usage, my phone is heating up like an oven and drinking battery like there is no tomorrow.  Seriously, these phones have 4K hardware encoding, why on earth is Skype not using the hardware properly?

  • Green picture during video calls

    I am only getting a green screen from my camera when making video calls on x box one,can anyone suggest anything

    What Skype version are you receiving the video from your Xbox from?
    Or to be more precise: Which Skype version on which plattform is sending the green video? It's usually the recording and not the playback end of video that is causing this. Make sure you are running the latest available Skype version on that plattform.

    I dont know whats wrong in Mobile.
    Kindly suggest me to resolve this problem

    You need 3G or wifi to make video calls,it supports skype.,things have changed now where apps are used rather than native. So no its no native video.

  • Video calling app

    My phone is BB 9630 not suporting video calling any softwear downloading. Solv my problem

    I can't imagine that it would be all that interesting.  You wouldn't be able to see the other person since there isn't a front facing camera.  Since video calling is primarily for making dirty phone calls a visual affair I can't imagine it would be a lot of fun for one of you. 

  • E5 supports video calling ? manual says so

    Hi All,
    I am planning to buy Nokia E5. Can someone assures here that E5 can make video calls? plz. All review sites says no seconday camera, hence no video calling support.
    But the manual on nokia site states the procedure on 'how to attend the video call'... please clear the doubt...
    Thanks,
    Ankit

    there appears to be 2 variants

  • Lumia 820 video call

    OK, a very simple question, what does the front camera do if video calling is not available in the latest dual core 1.5Ghz smartphones. Please do not mention me skype.

    As you don't want mention of skype all it can really do for you is take self portraits at this stage and possibly use other internet based video chat apps when available.
    Like many other current smartphones from other manufacturers it doesn't support the old over the network 3G video calling. It is Microsoft and various carriers that made the decision not to support it, not Nokia.
    If you are unhappy about that feel free to send Microsoft your feedback:

  • E71 - Video Calls

    Hi
    I'm currently using Nimbuzz to keep all contacts from all applications in one place (funny how Motorola suddenly released a phone in the UK with a similar function on it).
    I wanted to make video calls, but it would appear that this is not a function available through Skype or Nimbuzz.
    I've looked around on the internet, and found that Gizmo, Fringe and Nimbuzz all do similar things but, alas, no video calls
    I notice that there is a small camera on the front of the phone, this would appear to be for recording videos.  Can I record videos on the E71 and send them to people?
    Is anybody (Nokia, Symbian, Skype, Nimbuzz, Gizmo, Fringe etc) working on utilizing the camera for streaming video calls over the internet?

    Bump to this thread. I can share what I have read elsewhere.... though it doesn't fully answer your question.
    First, the E71 natively has the capability to stream video calls over 3g networks. But presumably the operators and phones of both parties must support this service. Unfortunately, I cannot test this. On my phone, when I select a contact from the address book, and select Options->Call->Video Call, I get the message: "Video call not supported by network". You may have better luck.
    As far as third-party apps, a quick Google search yields this promising blog post about Octrotalk: http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2008/11/networ​k-independent-s60-video-calling-is-here-with-octro​... (though not free). 
    The front camera can also be also be used with certain third party software (i.e. CameraFX) to take stills. Check out this thread: /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&​message.id=41254

  • How can I select paper size while in print preview ?

    I have a printer with four different paper trays, and each one is loaded with different size of paper: A3, A4, Legal, envelopes. When I use IE 11, I can easy go to print preview, click on page setup (little gear icon), select paper size , margins, etc.. there, and when i hit OK, the page is adjusted to the settings I selected and its ready to print, and printer selects the proper size of the paper automatically
    In Firefox v32, I can almost do this same, but I'm stuck with printing only on A4 style paper, as I don't see where to select the paper I want to print on !
    I tried to select A3 and legal paper in the printer driver, but then firefox used the selected paper, but printout on the paper came out as set to A4 size, and rest of the page was empty ! Also I was not able to see the page preview of the selected paper either. How do I then print on other size papers than a4 ?
    I found only one workaround which does not suits my needs but works: First: Go to printer driver and select legal or A3 paper as default, and then open firefox. If I do that i can print on any paper I select, but thats a horrible workaround, because then I often forget to change the default paper size back inside the printer driver, and i print my documents on wrong paper, wasting paper, ink and time...
    Please let me know if there is a way to fix this printing feature somehow.
    Thanks.

    MichalB,
    Sorry, IMO there is no real "fix" for what you are experiencing. Printer prefs set or changed in the operating system won't affect Firefox printing ''[IMO, either ancient code in Firefox or a "cross-browser thing".]'' Firefox has its' own settings for prefs and it defaults to the "last used" for all printer preference setting. And there is no way to set a pref as "use now and return to my defaults after this print job is completed".
    As you have found out, there is no way of changing paper size from the Print Preview screen. Other prefs - Margins & Header/Footer can be changed via Page Setup and you can see changes in the Preview window, but not for paper size. As ''CoryMH'' mentioned, '''paper size''' is selected thru what called the "native print dialog" box using the '''Properties''' button which shows a window provided by your printer software for the Printer which is selected in the "native print dialog" window, and accessed after you hit the Print button in the Print Preview screen.
    Problem is that you can't '''"preview"''' what is going to be printed when you change paper size. If you go back to Print Preview without printing from the "native print dialog" the change for Paper Size isn't saved for viewing in Print Preview!
    IMO, it would be nice if Firefox recognized each "tray" as a separate printer, so that a user could set Margins & Header/Footer prefs AND paper size per tray. IOW, a feature sort of writing a completely new print module that would reflect "today's" environment with multiple tray printers; rather than to continue using the print module that was built by Netscape back in '94 - '95, which we are stuck with almost 20 years later.
    ''As I sit here shaking my head after composing this reply, wondering why the issues I had back in 2002 with printing from Firefox / Firebird / Phoenix haven't been corrected in the last 14 years.''
    ''I do like "old stuff", and have a vehicle sitting my driveway that rolled out of the showroom 30 years ago come October 1 - a 35th birthday present I purchased for myself. [85 Corolla GTS TwinCam coupe - aka Sprinter in GTA] But as far as computer software, I prefer it to be compatible with hardware made in this century.''

  • Nikon Camera .mov iPod video

    Hi
    I understand that I can utilise Apple's Camera Connector, Belkin's Camera Link or Belkin's Media Reader to move images either directly from my camera / CF Card to the iPod video.
    However, in addition to still images, my Nikon shoots reasonable 640x480 Quicktime movies. What I'd like to know is whether any of these devices (or similar) could be used to move .mov video files from the camera/card to the iPod.
    I'm traveling to India for a month and would prefer not to take a powerbook with me. I'm hoping I can find a way to get all the media from my CF card directly onto the iPod.
    btw. (this would be a bonus but not essential.) If I managed to transer a 640x480 .mov onto the iPod, would it play?

    My review for Connector posted yesterday:
    "Great Potential but not mature (yet).
    Connector is a great idea and interface between our 30Gb iPod (video) and Canon Powershot S80 works basically fine. Connector delivers as promised, but -unlike Apple- the provided software support and functionality by current version of iPod software (v1.0.0) is far too minimal:
    - you can't make a (previewed) selection of images to be transferred. It's ‘all or nothing’ and ‘images only’ transfer (jpeg). Sadfully other camera content like video files, is ignored. Therefore you can only free up the camera memory space used by images. OK, immediately viewing those camera produced avi's is too much asked considering capabilities of current iPod’s and its file type support, but just basic transfer of all camera data as mature backup medium should be (made) possible.
    - Transfer speed is very slow. Even though they both support USB2.0 current throughput is about 15-30 minutes per 1GB (worse than USB1.1 spec!) and drains batteries rapidly. Because of that you run the risk of running out of batteries on either unit before complete transfer is finished, especially with nowadays common but big memory cards. This wouldn’t be that much of a problem if smaller selections of camera content were possible or USB2.0 transfer speed was really achieved (60GB/s)…
    If Apple is able to improve compatibility, performance and feature set through future iPod software updates, the usefulness of this Connector is promising.
    For now limited use (still need extra camera mem-cards), but cheap ‘gadget’ (modern camera’s come with 2,5” screens for viewing too)…"
    Therefore answer to your 1st question if transfer of .mov from Nikon2iPod through Connector will work: Not sure, but unlikely since softwaresupport for Connector within Ipod (Photo & Video) is currently aimed for transferring and viewing photos (Jpeg) ONLY.
    2nd question "will 640x480 play on iPod": NO, maximum support is 480x480 mov
    Good luck & have fun in India
    Robert
