FaceTime: I want to see the other guy, not myself

I'm self-conscious.  I've looked for answers online but found nothing that directly addresses the issue.  I've even seen something as ridiculous as having plastic surgery to improve your appearance of FaceTime. To me, using FaceTime is like hearing myself on a tape recorder "Eeew! THAT'S how I sound?!"  I don't mind being seen, but I don't want to see myself - I find it distracting and my attention wanders as I critique any flaws in my appearance.  This doesn't happen in a normal face-to-face conversation, why should it happen in a FaceTime conversation?
I want to see the person on the other end. I want that person to see me.  That's what FaceTime is all about but...I want to be able to eliminate from MY screen that little box with myself in it. That doesn't seem like too much to ask of Apple.  Maybe it can already be done and that's what I'm trying to find out.  Anyone out there with any tips?
Thanks,

Yeah, I get that and it makes sense. I just wish I had the option of making it somewhat less than perfect by eliminating the reflection box. When I'm on my macbook air, I can cover my image using a small window in Finder. I'll have to figure out a way on my iPhone. Maybe a small removable sticky note kept in my case for that purpose.  Your reply is much appreciated and you were helpful.  I looked at the link you shared but it doesn't really have any solutions - just the knowledge that others feel as I do.  And you helped with terminology - I didn't know "that little box with myself in it" is called a reflection box. Thank you! :-)

  • Is there a way to print all text messages/sms from an iPhone4 3G? I need to go back about 2-3 years back, i also want to see the text messages, not only the tel. number and whether it was sent or received.

    Is there a way to see/print ALL text messages exchanges from my previous phone (Blackberry Storm) to iPhone4 3G?  I want to be able to print ALL text messages from 2 lines on my account. Thank you.

    If they are still stored on your phone, with the BB you may be able to print them; if not natively, you may be able to download an app that will do that.  Offhand, I'm not familiar with one, but google may help.  -The iPhone may have an app that will allow this as well.  Two to three YEARS?  That' s a lot of texting!!

    Hi there,
    If you purchased FaceTime from the Mac App Store, the first thing that I would recommend is removing and reinstalling the application. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Using FaceTime between 2 iPhone 4s I can hear the other person but we only see ourselves, how do we see the other person

    Once the connection is made you should automatically see the other person full screen, with a small inset picture of yourself.  Normally you only see yourself full screen after you initiate the call prior to the other person accepting it.  Are you both connected to wi-fi and are you initiating the call by tapping the FaceTime button on the other person's contact?

    I can successfully view and control a VI remotly.

    I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
    It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
    Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
    hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

  • Somebody has created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy.How can I resolve this?

    When I tried to create and apple id using my gmail account i found that somebody has already created an apple id using my gmail id. So I gave forgot password option and reset the password of the id. But for resetting the security questions, link is going to some other email id which is created by the other guy. Now the problem is that the other guy also can reset my password and access my account.
    I contacted apple customer care and they are not ready to help me saying that I need to give information about the last device I logged in using this id. How can I give it when I did not create it?:) Also they are saying this account has been verified and that could happen only if someone has hacked my gmail account and verified the id using the link sent by apple.
    Later I did some experiments and found that this is a security flaw from apple. Somebody has created the id and never used it(I tried to loggin to icloud and it was saying this account was not used it any apple device). The account became verified when I reset the password.(This is a bug, account should be verified only when we click on the verification link sent by apple).
    The other mistake apple did is that they allotted my gmail account to someone before it's verified eventhough it cannot be used unless verified. Actually apple should allot the account id only after verifying the email address.
    Apple customer care is not ready to help and I am tired of fighting with them. Can any of you guys suggest any means of getting back my gmail id to use it as apple id?

    I don't think you're going to be able to. I would guess the other person used your address by accident, and when he found he couldn't access the account (because you'd changed the password) he abandoned it. Your GMail address is now locked to that account and even if it was changed you can't use it to create another.
    You already have an Apple ID, which you use to log in here; you can use that to create an iCloud account if that's what you are trying to do. If you want to create a different Apple ID just get another free address such as a Yahoo one.

  • While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

    Hi Folks
    I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
    Plz let me know  the answer.......

    Hi Ravi,
    The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
    You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
    Good luck

  • New install of solaris 10 and I cannot see the other 5 harddrives

    I am a bit rusty on solaris but here is the issue and exscuse my clulessness. Just installed 10 on an e450. At the ok prompt you can query the hardware and the hard drives are there. From the OS level, they do not appear. In the solaris console I can only see the hard drive the OS is on. Question is simple; how do you make the OS see the other hard drives. Linux I use disk druid. In 8 I used disksuite, but it has been about six years since I have messed with it.

    It sounds like all that was done during the installation as to set up one disk for the OS install and the remaining drive were not selected and partitioned.
    Run format and see if the disks show up. If they are there, then they likely need partitioning and file systems added with newfs command. Last thing is to make sure they get mounted by adding entries in /etc/vfstab.
    If you want to do volumes go to docs.sun.com and dowload the Sun Volume Manager documentation under Solaris 10.

  • Hello!!!I need to read some data from the serial port and processing these, at the same time I want to see the process that I am doing.

    I read the data without problems, and I see them using Waveform graph, the problem is that I want to see the real time stamps, but in the graph appears 2:00:00,000 and 01/01/04, so the date and the time is wrong !!
    Can I change this?
    I am thinking that the problem is that I have to adquire the data and the time stamps ( using Get date/time) and after, I have to represent both!!!
    Thanks!!!

    Hello,
    As you probably know a waveform is made of a beginning time (t0), a time difference between each value (dt) and an array of values (Y). Your problem is probably that you don't initialize t0. Use the Vi 'Waveform->Build a waveform' to initialize the time of the waveform.
    Hope this helps !
