Has anybody found a fix to Facebook video calling in Mavericks, or am I being a moron over the whole issue?

I'm having, and have for a while now, since installing Mavericks had a issue with using video calling for Mavericks. Even though the video icon for video calling is availible in safari, Firefox etc the java app will not download and install. I know there were issues with this initially but have they been resolved? It is doing my proverbial head in, I've searched forums looked at my library playlists etc etc etc, but a fix has evaded me. please please please please somebody give asome sort of affirmitive answer one way or another as to: 1. can it be fixed or 2. will it be fixed!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jerry,
thanks ....
I've just sussed an action .... after I wrote out my own question, I started thinking about it in a different way, the 300 dpi secondary issue was just a niggle after all .... I was coming back to close this question as solved .... I went back to the initial re-size / action logic
Thanks for you help, your answer was spot on, the erroneous results that I was getting earlier were just frustrating ....
action screen-shot attached .... the 2nd step independently from the 1st seemed to answer both height and resolution requirements ....

Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.
EDIT: I found it and did, but still not working.

Anybody found a fix for the netstream.seek bug?

The bug I am talking about is only being able to seek to a point in a video that the play head has been before.
Here is how the bug is described at :http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2005/12/17/5-reasons-netstream-sucks/
"Seeking is super slow until all keyframes are cached. No bull, if you have a file which you’ve completely preloaded, the keyframes aren’t cached until the video playhead reaches that point in time for the first time. If I load a file and seek to the end, the player has to chug through all of the keyframes prior to my seek point. This is slow, slow if I have video of even several minutes."
That was posted 5 years ago. I have found the bug referenced in the following posts:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1917914#1917914
http://forums.adobe.com/message/692394?tstart=0
I would assume that since this bug has been around for at least 5 years, there would a bug report filed for it or a work around found. But I can't seem to find either.
I have tried multiple codecs and encodings with no luck. I'm having a hard time accepting that there is not fix for this problem. Flash has to read and cache the key frame information of the entire video before being able to seek to the end. Does anybody know where the flash player writes this information? Let me be clear, this is not streaming video, this is video that is running local off the hard drive. The flash player stores this key frame information somewhere until the computer is restarted. At that point when the video is played again, it has to read the entire file again. You can close and open the player multiple times and it will only perform the caching the first time and not again until a computer restart.
again, I am not trying to seek to a point that has not been loaded yet. This is a swf that loads a video off the hard drive.
One that that I have noticed is that when H.264 files are loaded, the player immediately performs the caching scan before it begins to play. When it is finished, you can seek to any point quickly. The time it takes for the caching scan is dependent upon the size of the file and the number of keyframes it has. Whereas the rest of the video codecs will play immediately but will only seek quickly to cached keyframes.
I have only seen this problem discussed in a few spots, with no solutions. it is a very old bug. Has anybody found a fix, work around or bug report on it?
Thanks for your help

The above is a simple test I put together. Use a large FLV for the testing. Remember, the first seek to the end will be the longest and you may not get the same results unless you restart or use another FLV.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

Has anybody found out how to change the workgroup name in 10.5?

I have been trying to connect to XP machine shared folders and it is not working.
I've tried using smb and it gives connection error or says Ithe user has not permission in the machine
I've started in 10.4 from backup disk and it is working OK.
I see that in 10.4 it asked for DOMAIN/ Workgroup name , and this option has disappeared in 10.5

After updating my 4S to iOS 5.1.1 last night, none of my data applications are working today, nor Siri, iMessage or anything of the like. I'm at a loss as to what might have caused it. Is anyone else having this issue/has anyone found a fix? Everything seems to work fine if I connect to wireless, but if I'm not connected to it then nothing is working. My service provider says everything should be working fine, I still have the 3G symbol and full bars.

Somebody clearly hasn't read the User Guide.
Basic troubleshooting steps are retart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If you have tried ALL of these steps and you're still having problems, then you need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

Has anybody tried to transfer Hi-8 video to iDVD?
I have done lots of that.
To get your Hi-8 video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300. With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).

Has anybody been sucessful in integrating other Video encoders (on2 Flix, Mainconcept) with Adobe AIR applications

Has anybody been sucessful in integrating other Video
encoders (on2 Flix, Mainconcept, or any other commercially
available video encoder) with Adobe AIR live video streaming
applications ?
Most of the companies provide SDK's
Is it possible at all to integrate them with Adobe Air
applications built using Flex/ Actionscript?

With the use of a little Alchemy magic, you can turn a C/C++ library into actionscript accessable classes!

I'm always interested in helping students (and their instructors). On that note, I just passed along a phase-locked loop circuit to the forum, through a thread I began many months ago.
This url,

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

Why won't my camera work in Facebook video call?

Have a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks. When I tried to use the video call feature in Facebook, it told me I didn;t have the necessary java to execute the install. I downloaded the file suggested online (Java for OS X 2014-001: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start features) and the install went through. However, when I try to make a call it connects, I can see the other person's video and hear her/him but my camera does not activate (No green light. Person being called can hear me, but no picture appears for them). FaceTime works fine. Skype works fine. Google+ Hangout asks me to give permission to use camera, but hangs up. I also tried to make a FB video call in Safari and that did not work either (same problem).
