Getting the camera to load on the desktop

I wasn't sure where to post this, but i just got a
new Canon powershot. it doesn't want to show up on
the desktop like I thought it would.
my old fujifilm camera use to show up without
having to install any software.
I don't know why you want to avoid installing the Canon software that comes with the camera. I bought a Powershot S80 several months ago and installed the Canon software package. I like it a lot. Their ImageBrowser program works quite well -- it's simpler to use and understand than iPhoto, and less restrictive. I have never had any difficulty having the camera (or a USB memory-card reader) show up on the desktop automatically.

How can I use applet to get the desktop image of client

hi,I have a question to ask u.
How can I use applet to get the desktop image of client? Now I develop a web application and want user in the client to get his current image of the screen.And then save as a picture of jpeg format ,then upload it to the server?
I have done an application to get the screen image and do upload file to server in a servlet with the http protocal.

Since the desktop image is on the client's local hard drive, you'll need to look at trusted applets first.

I cannot get the desktop version to open.

I am on a Mac running OS 10.10 (Yosemite). I was able to access Story in Chrome and sign in successfully. I downloaded the desktop version which required updating Air (which I did) and now when I launch Story on my Mac I get message saying that the application needs to update. So I try to update it but I get a message that says:
"Sorry, an error has occurred.
The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem. The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid. Please contact the application author."
Then I click Close and it relaunches the Story launch screen and again the update pop-up pops up and if I click later the pop-up goes away. If I then try to sign in (I am a CC subscriber) I get an error that reads:
"Error
Failed to connect to services. Do you want to login in offline mode?" No or Yes
I click Yes and nothing happens.
The online version seems to work in Chrome but I am really more interested in the desktop version. I realize this software is classified as beta but I'd still expect it to function at least a little bit. Right now I can't use the desktop version at all. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

It seems like you already have an old installation of Story.
You will have to remove it first before installing the latest one.
So the steps would be:
- Open 'Applications' folder in finder and move 'Adobe Story' app to Trash. Remove it from Trash too.
- Search 'Adobe Story' in Spotlight to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive. If installed then remove that version too.
- Now download the latest version and install it. ( you can download the installer directly from: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air )

2007 MBP (10.5.8) DVI to HDMI to flatscreen, get the desktop picture but nothing else-no dock, no menu bar, no desktop clutter, no arrow. Any ideas?

hmmm-
Anyway-
I connect to the TV and get my desktop image no problem-beautiful-but that's all.
No dock, no menu bar, no desktop clutter, no windows, no pointer.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
S

Your external monitor is in Extended Desktop mode.
There are three modes in which you can view your MBP on the TV:
1. Clamshell mode, in which the MBP's own display is closed and you have an external keyboard and mouse or trackpad connected to it. The menu bar and Dock appear on the external display and you can set its resolution to your liking.
2. Mirrored mode, in which both screens display exactly the same thing at the same resolution. The maximum resolution of the lower-resolution display, whichever it is, will be the maximum for both screens in Mirrored mode. So if you connect a 1920 x 1080 HDTV to a 13" MBP with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800, 1280 x 800 will be the highest resolution the TV can be set to display in Mirored mode. And if you connect a 1024 x 768 projector to the same MBP, the MBP's built-in screen will switch to 1024 x 768 while the projector is connected in Mirrored mode.
3. Extended Desktop mode, in which the TV serves as a second expanse of desktop onto which you can drag windows from the built-in display by dragging them off one edge of the built-in display. You can choose whether the desktop is extended to the left, right or top of the built-in display by dragging the rectangle that represents the TV in the Displays pane of System Preferences. You can also drag the menu bar onto the TV in the Displays pane of System Preferences, making the TV set your primary display, with the menu bar and Dock on it. In Extended Desktop mode, unlike Mirrored mode, you can set the resolutions of the TV and the built-in display separately, to optimize the image quality on both of them.
Your TV is now in Extended Desktop mode. Open any window on the MBP's display and drag it off the left and right edges of the screen. You will see it slide onto the TV screen on one side or the other. Now go to the Displays pane of System Preferences, click the Arrangement tab, and arrange the positions of the screens and menu bar as you prefer.
You can switch to Mirrored mode if you wish; to toggle back and forth between ED and M mode, just press Command+F1. Mirroring is simpler to understand, but the image quality on an HDTV set that has a typical 1920 x 1080 native resolution will be poor (blurry) if it's forced to operate at a lower resolution to match that of a 13" or 15" MBP display. You cannot set different resolutions on the two displays in Mirrored mode.

How do I get the desktop icon to reflect the new update to 4?

I installed firefox 4 version, but when I pass the pointer over the icon on the desktop it still says firefox 3... How do I get it to indicate the new version?

You posted with Firefox 4.0.1.
If the name is wrong then rename the shortcut via the right-click context menu. 
You can also check the Properties of that shortcut. 
If you can't fix it then delete that shortcut and create a new shortcut by going to the Firefox.exe file in "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" with Windows Explorer and use Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).

When I connect my Mac to my Smart TV I can only get the desktop screen to appear and not what I wish to play on the screen. What am I doing wrong? I know the TV and Mac are connected because of the desktop screen appearing.

I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. I need to know how to get what I wish to watch on the TV, such as Netflix, and not just the desktop screen. Thank you

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

Time to get the desktop version

http://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-will-shut-down-skype-modern-windows-client-july-7-favor-desk...
As the article states the "Modern" app version of Skype on PC's is to be shut down.
Got to admit I agree with them as it just didn't work, Surface RT users will still be able to use it, and although there is no mention of the Xbox One or WP versions of the app, I assume they will still work as well as they actually work.
Bob

That didn't work, it looks like MS are playing a game of Kerplunk........
My plan to use the "People" app to use Skype instead of the "Modern" version of Skype has fallen at the first hurdle.
I got the desktop version installed on the Stream and un-installed the app version, then went to the people app and when you ckick on a Skype function it says you need the app version to use this function and suggests you visit the store, this option should stop after the Skype app becomes obsolete......
I tested this on my desktop and Surface Pro with the same results.
So you are reduced to using full Outlook if you have it and this would be a bit a bit small on a 7 inch tablet so to stop the people app having broken links you need to not show the Skype contacts.
I wonder if MS have thought this through.
I do accept the "Modern" app version of Skype was not very good, and there is probably a good reason to kill it for future proofing Skype on Windows 10, but it does look a bit like Kurplunk to me.......

How to get Adobe Camera RAW loaded so I can open RAW files from a Panasonic LX7?

I opened these images two days ago. Now I get a message that the CS6 Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. I went online and again(3rd time)downloaded Camera RAW 7.3 and tried installing and opening the images.
Once again - same thing.
Now I have something called a DNG converter on the machine and I don't know what it is.
I opened it and tried to get to the LX7 files in my computer I can see in Bridge - and the DNG converter does not show the files at all.
I was doing just fine with CS5 - then I bought this piece of crap because I could not get an update for CS5 to open the Panasonic Lumix LX7 images. So, I wasted $200 on CX6 only to find I can't get my images opened.
I hate photoshop more every damn day
First, took three days and over 9 hours wasted on hold for Adobe phone help - and finally got a guy on to help me register Photoshop CS6 - and he could not get it to register. Finally after a day & a half and hours of continually cutting and pasting from teh online computer to the main computer that does not hook up to the Internet I got CS6 to work.
Then, I opened the Panasonic LX7 RAW images twice after downloading and installing Adobe Camera RAW 7.1 and 7.3 - and now the machine does not recognize the files and tells me to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111
I went there and have downloaded the Camera Raw 7.1 and 7.3 four different times now and tried installing it - and Still can't open the damn files. I keep getting the same "photoshop cannot open this file" message and teh same referenc to teh above.
How can I get this piece of Shiz to work???
Oh - the name for ID above is after 22 minutes of trynig to find an name this program would accept.

The first thing I would suggest is, in Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw to verify what version is installed. There should only be one version listed, and listed only once. If there are more, then you need to get rid of the extras.
The DNG converter is a program that will create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw images. It takes all of the raw image data and copies it to a new file format. The raw data is unmodified, and the DNG file is a standardized and open documented file format. But the DNG converter will not list the actual files. You choose the folder that contains your original raw images, and then the converter will put the copies wherever you choose to put them. But if your camera is supposed to be supported by the latest version of Camera Raw, I don't know if converting will solve the problem. It won't hurt anything; your raw files are still intact.
It would be helpful if you could describe your computer; operating system, how much RAM, a little information to allow the experts (of which I am NOT one) to help you isolate and solve this problem.

I am working on a Veterans Day program for school and I shut down the computer and now I can't get the desktop to load. It is all a white screen. What do I need to do, and can I get my video back?

I am having difficulty getting back on my computer. I have to have the Veterans Day Program done by next Monday, and it will not boot back up. All I get is a white screen. If I push Options and F4 I can get system preferences, but that doesn't seem to do any good. It was telling me before I shut it down that my Start up menu was full? What does that mean, and would that be my problem, and how would I fix it? I would appreciate all the help I can get, I haven't saved anything yet that I was creating. I have videos of the student singing that I will not be able to do over again. Please Help!!!
Thank you!

How do I get the desktop background to change when it seems to be frozen

I have my desktop background from airliners.net. I went to change the background and it seems to be frozen. I also can't get photos from airliners.net.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"

Can't get the desktop app to work - forced to sign out and it shuts down

I was unable to install the most recent update for Adobe Story, so I uninstalled the app, went online and re-downloaded. Now, when I try to launch I get an error that user preferences weren't found, and it forces me to sign out, so I can't work offline.
I've tried a system restore, but it did not fix the problem. At this point, I am unable to use Adobe Story on my computer, just online.
Please help me fix this.

I solved this myself by creating a second Adobe ID, sharing my project files with myself under the new ID.
The app works with the new ID I created.

I can't get my flash to load on my desktop

All of my other programs load without any trouble but this one.

What are you referring to? Flash Pro? Flash Player? Flash Builder? Flash Catalyst? What version? What system? You need to be a lot more specific.

I deleted the "desktop" in tiger, can't "alias", "copy" or "drag & drop" anything to it now, I get a message that "desktop can not be changed"

I was trying to make an alias of "SAFARI" icon to have on the desktop & in the dock as well, I managed to make the safari icon appear on the desktop, but when I wanted to switch from firefox to safari it wouldn't open / start safari, so OK, no big deal, I moved it the trash, ( by rt. click,>move to trash>click ) the horror starts here, everything on the desktop disappeared into the trash !!!!! ......
So I have tried to "drag & drop", "alias", "copy", "duplicate" to get things back out of the trash, but every attempt is met with a message "the desktop con not be changed", and whatever I try to bring anything out of the trash window, it gets a "minus - sign" added to it when it crosses over the edge of the trash window, and of course it jumps right back into the trash when the mouse button is released.
I think (barely) I will need the do a "clean install", or a "restore" from the install DVD to restore / get the desktop back.
And while the only thing on the desktop now is the HDD icon, clicking it open does not show the desktop in the Lf. column of the window where it should be, or any OS X folders when clicking on anything, but the OS is is running for this post and yahoo, etc., and there is a upward facing arrow next to the "network" name in the left column, that doesn't go away, like after installing some software, this is weird !!
Any solid ideas welcomed, and Thanks for reading my driveling post, ..... wayne146 .........
this is happening on my back-up machine, a G4 400mhz PCI, OS X TIGER 10.4.11 & 9.2.2 in classic ( all the 9.2.2 stuff does still show in the hdd when clicked )
I am having bigger troubles with my QS 800 dp, so I need this one to stay online, Please help !!!

to safari it wouldn't open / start safari, so OK, no big deal, I moved it the trash, ( by rt. click,>move to trash>click ) the horror starts here, everything on the desktop disappeared into the trash !!!!!
I am confused by what you did.
open / start safari
What did you do? This looks like a terminal command.
Or, did you click on the safari icon then right click on the safari icon then click on open?
I do not understand how you that moving to the trash would be helpful.
I suspect disk corruptions.
I run disk utility verify the file system on your starup disk. See below.
verify & repair your startup drive
To verify & repair you file system on the startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from you installation DVD.
This article will tell you how to get to disk utility. Once in a disk utility, you can go and attempt to recover the disk.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
To repair your startup drive, you will need to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Mac OS X 10.4: About the utilities available on the Mac OS X 10.4 Install DVD
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2055
How to run disk utility from your startup DVD.
Insert your startup DVD into your reader. Power down your machine. Hold down to the c key. Power on your machine. This will bootup your startup DVD.
This will bring you to a panel asking you for your language. Pick your language.
You you come to the Install Mac OS panel. Do not install.
Click on Utilities menu item. This will give you a pulldown list of utilities.
Click on the disk utility.
You are now in disk utility. Pick your disk. Click on repair it should be on the lower right of the panel.
Once the repair completes successfully, you should update your permissions.
Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK. Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks. click on your startup disk. Click on the First Aid Tab. Click on verify. Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk First Aid from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

Webcam detected in Windows 8.1 App not the desktop...

Hello, I tried searching everywhere for a solution and have tried the usual reinstall, downloading an earlier version, etc. But I have still not succeeded in getting the desktop client to find my webcam. Again the app that comes with windows 8.1 can detect my webcam no problem but the client cannot. Also just to avoid the whole "please upload your dxdiag" response I have it already attached.Any ideas?
Solved!

Do you have the Logitech Camera Controller app installed? I had some odd issues when it wasn't, with my c525. So you may want to try that:

You can also try resetting your Skype configuration. Exit Skype completely then run the following program. When it is done, restart Skype and the initial wizard should come up. See if your camera is picked up.
