Has anyone ever made an international FaceTime call?

I read a lot of reviews on the subject, but for some reason could not find anyone who actually did it. I did read that a lot of people couldn't figure out how to do it. So I'm wondering if it's even possible at this stage, and ideally without some serious hacking.

I made a international call from San Carlos Mexico to New York City on July 3rd 2010. I have a Mexico plan with At&T so the initial call was made through TELMEX and then the face time was established. The face time lated 1/2 hour with good quality considering the wifi connection I had. The best part is once you establish a face time connection you can then reconnect to that person without a phone call the next time. The call resulted in more new iphones being ordered by some of the participants.

  • Has anyone ever made Kerberos work with AFP reliably?

    I've been working on this for a couple of weeks. And while I've figured a bunch of stuff out, I'm fairly certain at this point that it's literally impossible to make AFP work using Kerberos.
    So it would be great if I could get some feedback that this is possible in any way?
    My question is, has any person here ever successfully made AFP work with Kerberos, as defined by:
    1. In Server Admin, under AFP > Settings > Access the Authentication setting is set to "Kerberos"
    2. You have been able to run your server(s) with this setting for an extended period of time, greater than two months, and are still running this way.
    Please only respond positively if you have literally done this, not if you have heard of it being done, or wish to do it, or have read in a manual somewhere that it can be done.
    And if you have done it, and you have good resources we might not have found using google or the os x server manuals, feel free to point them out.
    Sometimes questions are pulled off the site because they are not specific enough, so I want to make my question clear. Should I continue down the path of trying to make this work (as evidenced by other people having successfully made it work) or should I give up on it?
    My hunch is that a lot of people think they have Kerberos working because Server Admin > Open Directory > Overview says it's working (as mine does) and they think they have SSO. But really they just checked the "remember my login" box when logging in to a share and Kerberos isn't doing a thing, their Mac just automates the login process every time they go to a share. If they set AFP to use only Kerberos their network would break just like anyone else who tries to do that.

    Yes. This most certainly works.
    The areas that you need to focus is DNS and time, likely in that order. Assuming DNS is set up properly and remains that way, then you may be running into the lazy mDNSResponder issues that are plaguing early releases of 10.6. If this is the case, then tools like nslookup and dig will return the proper lookup results, but when trying to resolve to a service, the connection fails as it is misdirected. This happens most frequently on split DNS installations and has improved dramatically with the release of 10.6.3.
    Beyond that, make sure your time on all workstations agree with the time on the domain server. If you have Mac Pros, those Xeon chips like to drift. If you have a time skew then Kerberos auth with fail and you will be dropped back to standard auth or no auth if you only permit kerb. This can become more complicated if your domain server and your file server are different machines.
    Hope that helps. This is doable and has been since the 10.4 days. Yes, 10.6 had some release pains, but so do all OS releases. 10.6.3 is now deployable in all but the most custom environments.

  • Has anyone ever made a film poster??

    Hello.
    I need to convert my video images( 720x480, 349 KB, PNG image) to a resolution of 300 dpi in order to make a film poster.
    I am new at this. I don't know if Photoshop can help me. With the resolution but I know it will probably be most appropriate for the layering I have to do.
    I would appreciate anyone who has done this before. Any advice is welcomed.
    Thanks in advance!

    You will notice most movie posters depict a scene that doesn't actually appear in the film, the idea is simply to convey the genre of the film, is it sinister, funny, action packed . . etc.
    You should either photograph the actors and composite them to depict this or use a metaphorical image eg. if it was about time travel that went horribly wrong a photo of a pocket watch with the glass smashed would convey this in conjunction with the film title . . . . you get the idea . . .

  • Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    It's highly likely that there is a poor connection in the phone - either a pin in the dock connector or internal wiring harness.  No software fixes or "tricks" would work, but I would recommend restoring in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed restore as a new phone. 
    Otherwise, opening and repairing the phone takes some tech knowledge that can't be relayed here.  Apple doesn't repair phones other than replacing batteries (not inconceivable that you have a bad battery), but offers "out-of-warranty" replacement (refurb) phones for $149 (US).  3rd party iPhone repair centers may be able to fix it for less.  Google to find them,
    Tried soft and hard resets
    FYI, there's no such thing as "soft" or "hard" resets in iPhone terminology.  There is only one phone reset. You'll see those terms thrown around by technically ignorant posters, but they mean different things to different people and are actually archaic, 1980s PC terms that have nothing to do with iPhones.

  • 3 GS freezes to white screen occasionally after hitting home button.  Has anyone ever experienced this?

    Has anyone ever experienced a white screen that freezes then turns black after hitting the home button?

    I have had intermittent white screens for some time (as in three years). It happens when the phone "wakes up". I hae lost calls that I could not answer because the screen was white. It has come up white when I hit the home screen. Not always, but with random frequency. All I have to do it hit the power button (I do not have to power off, just hit the button) and  reopen the phone and it is gone. I know the phone is functioning under this screen, I just cannot do anything.
    My first 3GS had the problem so severly I called Apple. After two and a half hours of resets of various kinds, they decided the phone was bad and sent my a replacement. It was better, but it still has the issue. I have gotteb used to it and am waiting until I can get an upgrade to the phone in the hopes it takes care of it. In the meantime, I occasionally doa search here and un the intertubes to see if someone else has the issue and a solution.
    My suspicion has been that some app I downloaded causes it, but I have deleted apps and cannot get rid of the issue.

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?  Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5.  All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with  iOS 4.3.5?  Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution.  Thanks a bunch.

    Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
    This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
    I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
    If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
    Hope you get it sussed out.

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

  • Has anyone ever seen this error

    We just launched a vaccation tracking app with a coldfusion
    front end and an access 97 backend (dont ask). The app was tested
    for over a month and passed all tests. However we never tested for
    volume, or amount of users hitting the app. On the backend, we have
    an access table linked to a text file. Again, this tested out
    perfectly over the past month. This morning after release to the
    entire company of about 2,000 people, users began reporting this
    error:
    The text file specification 'EmployeeList Link
    Specification6' does not exist. You cannot import, export, or link
    using the specification.
    Some users logged in to the app successfully and some
    recieved this error. For those that recieved the error, we had them
    back out and re-login and then the app worked just fine.
    Has anyone ever seen this or have a guess as to what is going
    on?

    Hi,
    The right way would be to use a "real" database server.
    But you can test if db-caching can improve the issue.
    With each <cfquery> you can set a cachedwithin
    parameter. Using that should allow you to query the Access db once,
    and then have CF keep the query results in memory (for the DB as
    well as the text-file).
    You could query the complete database with no filtering this
    way, and then filter the data using QueryofQuery to output only
    records for specific users/groups/regions.
    You also need to make sure the settings in CF admin are
    configured right for this.
    The more often the database content is updated, the slower
    this solution will get though.
    cheers,
    fober
    ps. for the cachedwithin parameter in the query set a
    timeframe of forever, so the recordset never gets updated, and then
    actually execute a new query to update the recordset at the end of
    your "save a vacation" or "updated a vacation" functions. This way
    the app would only read the db when a real change to the records
    occurred.
    But like I said with 2000 users, even that may not be enough
    to get the app performing.

  • Has anyone ever ran Logic using VMWare Workstation on a Windows PC?

    Has anyone ever emulated Mac OS X and used Logic on their x86 Microsoft Windows systems? I was thinking about doing this to use some synths and stuff with some Windows designed software. I'm not sure if it is possible to use both operating systems at the same time with VMWare Workstation operating system emulator. Help me out guys. Has anyone ever done it? Can it be done?

    VMWare Workstation will not run the client version of Mac OS X in emulation, and likely won't run Mac OS X Server either.

  • Has anyone ever succeeded to use the scope_identity() from the LabVIEW DB toolkit ?

    Hi,
    Using LabVIEW 2014 DS, and MSSQL 2008R2.
    I have configured a table with identity, so the indexed will be incremented automatically.
    I am trying to get the ID of the last Insert command that I am using.
    I am trying to SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() but with no success.
    I read about trying to so it with a procedure or transaction, but I just could not succeed myself.
    Has anyone ever succeeded to use the scope_identity() from the LabVIEW DB toolkit ?
    If yes, can you please elaborate more or even share the code ?
    Thanks, 
    Amitai.

    Yes I have...let me dig out some code...
    I do my INSERT query (with a semicolon at the end) and in the same query string do a "SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() as inserted_id;" - essentially what you're doing here is running two queries in one - one to insert your data and the second to retrieve the ID. From what I remember of when I did this (last year?), I think scope_identity() is valid for the same connection so as you're doing both queries in the same connection it should always be valid.
    I then do this to get the ID (pardon the crappy VI snippet):
    Essentially I execute the query and the result is a 2D array that contains one row/column which is your last inserted ID.
