Have a rather odd question regarding isight...
I currently host an adult webcam chat room and would like to know if I can use my built in isight cam. I host on a popular cam website and use something called "easycam". I have a pc as well can host off of there but would much rather use my brand new imac since the quality of the cam is just fantastic and the microphone is just wonderful!
I am a first time mac owner and am not familiar with the ins and outs of any of these programs and am still trying to figure out the basics of my new computer. I have learned that I cannot use the built in isight for much unless it's through ichat or aim ( neither of which I use )
Welcome to Apple Discussions, ifoundloveatcommutel
You may need to configure your "Flash" settings as described here:

I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage".
I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage". I followed everything and check everything that was in it. It's still the same. I am still not able to send a photo. It started happening last week. It was fine before that. There is no error message.
It will try to send but it will get stuck just before it sends
and the red ! will appear with the "Not Delivered" status.
When i tap on the !, it just says "This iMessage was not delived".
No other message or photo is sending as the same time as the photo.
I did reset it, I checked the email address, removed it as well. Turned it off then back on. Signed out and signed back in. Wi-Fi strength is very good. iOS is 6.0.1. I checked for updates, it is up-to-date I also checked a link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755. It did not help at all.
What's wrong?!?!?!?!It is not a matter of reconsidering the decision. There are unsolveable technical problems with trying to run a program such as Firefox on Blackberry OS. We would need Blackberry to distribute a tool similar to Android's NDK to run on Blackberries.

Odd question regarding files on a mac-formatted external drive...
I have recently purchased a Western Digital external HDD (1TB) and have synced it with my mac as a time machine.
I have also, however, moved a bunch of files from my macbook, including family movies, DVD's I've ripped, a lot of my music collection, work files and some games.
This has worked brilliantly thus far.
BUT! I have my MBP bootcamped for some boring programs for work etc. but want to be able to listen to music/play games/access files through the WD HDD... This may be obvious to many people; but it wasn't immediately obvious to me: Because the External drive is formatted for Mac, as well as 'time machine-d', it refuses to be recognised by the PC...
Thus, my question is:
Is there a way to move files from Mac to PC (bootcamped) through an external drive that is formatted to the Mac.
If not, is there a way to move files from Mac to PC through the bootcamp disc on the Macintosh Desktop. I understand that files smaller than 4 gigs can be moved across NTFS (?) but some of the files for my work stretch as far as 11 gigs...
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I've been looking around the net for the past week... It's time to be proactive...
If any more info is required, please let me know.
Ollie.Hi Ollie,
with the BootCamp 3.0 Drivers Apple introduced a read access from BootCamp Windows to Mac OSX partitions, but this seems to only work with internal harddisks not with external ones.
MacDrive is the choice get full read and write access on Mac OSX partitions/harddisks while in Windows http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/
For a simple read-only access HFSExplorer can be used http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/index2.html
The 4GB size limitation is only active on FAT32 file system not on NTFS, but Mac OSX itself can only read from NTFS partitions not write to them without additional helper like NTFS-3G http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
So, with you scenario (external HD = MacOS file system) it seems that MacDrive would be the way to go.
Hope it helps

He I have a very basic question regarding reporting of invoice lines and related receiver lines
The documentation shows that receiver transaction id and receiver shipment header and line id should be joined to the same columns in AP invoice lines but these columns are not populated. What is the join for Payables and Purchasing 12.0 and beyond. We are on 12.2.4.
Please advise.Yes, he does not want redirects because it is POF. Also, redirects don't stay in address bar (at the one I created) - once the screen loads you see the same long URL in address bar. He says I should be able to create another public name for the website (made of forms and reports). Maybe I should go with MOD_REWRITE module? I am reading about it now and they say it's more like renaming then redirecting and I think that's more like what my boss is looking for. Key question: if I use MOD_REWRITE to redirect, would the original (long) URL string be displayed once the first screen loads? I am trying to avoid that. I need users to type http://virtualserver/welcome and to STAY that way in address bar.
Thanks. -
...when a song is playing, if you increase the volume does your nano 'click'? (Considering clicker is set to 'speaker').
Ok, heres the explanation to my weird question. Last night I accidentally fell asleep on top of my nano whilst listening to it, and this morning for some reason I'm thinking that the click is not meant to sound when u increase the volume (it doesn't when you fast forward....so I guess thats whats playing on my mind at the moment). Its not a big deal, but I just like to know if there is something wrong with my nano now, or not? Thanks in advance!no, i didn't notice and "click" or static sound if i do anything in the middle of the song...did you turn on the "click"? or the other reason for this to happen is because the backlight is on (i turned off both to optimize the battery life)

So, I have a somewhat weird question regarding custom keyboard mapping
No room in the title, but this thread should be marked as [SOLVED]. Because that's what it is. Solved.
I'm from Serbia. In Serbian language, we have a few extra characters: š,đ,č,ć,ž
With Shift+Alt I can switch between keyboard layouts. However, this can sometimes be a hassle more than it seems to be.
There is a small app for Windows called srpskey. Basically what it does is it every time you type cx, it immediately replaces it with č. When you type cq, it's ć, dq is đ, zx is ž, and finally sx is š. Being as that English and Serbian barely ever use cx,cq, etc, this is VERY convenient and now I'm used to typing that way.
I tried wine, alas no luck. Is there a way I could make this work under Linux?
Last edited by Deusdies (2011-03-06 11:23:10)Holy crap it worked! Took a while to figure out API, but it works! For future reference, this is basically what script looks like for one character:
system.exec_command("setxkbmap me") #me = montenegro keyboard. rs equals in cyrilic, I don't need that
keyboard.send_keys("[")
system.exec_command("setxkbmap us")
Thanks a lot man!

Odd questions re: timecode generator
Hello
I have a rather weird question concerning a workflow that im sure most on this forum do NOT use.
I have an edit consisting of animated qt .movs, 1280x720 @ 24fps, with NONE compression. Hefty, lossless files. There is also audio, though this is inconsequential to my predicament.
This edit needs to go out to someone @ 720x480, letterboxed with running timecode on the bottom bar. It needs to be compressed to a QT .mov with MotionJPEGA compression.
So, heres my current method, used many times, but highly quirky and VERY slow.
First I take my 1280x720 footage into a 720x480 sequence @ 24fps with mojpegA compression, obviously causing all to need rendering down. On top of that, I put color bars (black), cropped to the correct size, to letterbox the animations at the top and bottom of the frame. Then on the lower letterbox bar, I apply a timecode generator filter.
The problem comes here. With the filter applied, I then stretch out the clip its applied to, in a track over top of my animations to the end of the sequence (like 17 minutes long). Then everything gets rendered down (over the period of like 3-5 hours) and we have a clean, 720x480, letterboxed and timecoded sequence. Fantastic, right? Well, inevitably, a change will be made prior to export and a single couple of seconds will need to be updated under the bars and generator. As soon as anything under those tracks is adjusted, WHAMO, it needs rendering again, for the ENTIRE sequence.
is there a way to go about avoiding this gigantic hurdle? I need the ability to make changes to individual sections of a large, rendered sequence, without needing a full, fresh, and extremely lengthy render-down.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
matt
mac g5It's the code generator that's doing you in. Is there any way to avoid applying it until you know there are no more changes? Or working in shorter sections?
I can only guess that you're off-lining something for conform later, or prepping for a composer, or whatever.
Aside from maxing out the ram in your machine, I don't see a way to speed up your process; but what if you change your process somehow? For example, open the clips in qt, export as dv in your codec and put THOSE in your timeline?
This might shorten your render.
You might also consider pushing back a little bit with the others involved in the production with you and all sit down and figure out another better way to do what you need.
This probably isn't much help... -
Questions regarding SAP CRM 4.0
Hi:
Does anyone have some past exam questions regarding the SAP CRM certificate exam? My e-mail is [email protected]
In addition, can anyone explain the differences between those code beings with "T" and those without, such as TSCM and SCM?
Thank you.I would like to clarify on question 2): The filtering is not necessarily limited to only one of these items at a time; we could need, for example, filtering done by: customer number AND sales organization AND sales office.
The idea we came up with was to perhaps create the necessary extra attributes (if this is possible), and to have them automatically filled in by a routine (a user exit?); later, a simple search using these new attributes would filter the information accordingly. Would such a thing be possible? -
A few questions regarding SAP EWM and WM
Hello,
I have a few general questions regarding the differences between EWM and WM:
1) What are the benefits of EWM-MFS compared to WM + TRM (especially in terms of SPS)?
2) The Quality Inspection Engine (QIE) can also be used by SAP WM, right?
3) There is RFID-support in EWM, so EWM is able to communicate directly with SAP Auto-ID, right?
But I have heard that SAP PI is necessary in some cases, when and why?
4) Is there something new in EWM regarding goods receipt processing?
I have read that the splitting of inbound delivery items is possible in EWM in case of missing inbound delivery items. Is this really a new feature?
5) EWM can easily be connected to SAP BW for reporting purposes, what about WM?
6) What about scalability if the warehouse grows?
7) Is there any information about the costs of using EWM compared to WM and vice versa?
I appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you.
DennisHi,
1. What does SAP offer as a product for dWM? Is it a u201Cspecialu201D installation of the SAP framework dedicated to WM or is it a standard ECC box where only the WM module is used?
There are two version of DWM. One is Decentralized WM as a part of ECC and another one is EWM as a part of SCM. Both are decentralized.
2. My understanding is that the interfaces between ERP and dWM can support some non-real time operations (like when the main ERP system is down, the dWM can still perform some operations). Considering that the transactional interfaces are based on BAPIs, how does SAP achieve this interfacing in non-real time environments? I am thinking you can complete the different processing unless both systems are up
When it comes to interfaces, DWM needs Deliveries from ERP. That's it, WM can function from there independent of ERP system. But, WM defenitely needs to communicate back PGI and PGR and other posting changes . So, in case ERP is down, even though PGI / PGR is done at WM end, they may not be communicated back to ERP. But WM generates PGI/PGR IDOCs which can always be reprocessed at WM end to resend them to ERP so that Inventory levels are accurate.
Hope that helps
Thanks

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro
I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.

Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

(normally I'd link to Wikipedia but I can't load right now)
Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?
I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone. -
Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac

800 MHzMost of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
What am I doing wrong?Hey kabsl,
Thanks for the post.
What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange). Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
