New to MACs and need help with a built-in video camera in MACBOOK

My mother and father just purchased a new MACBOOK a few weeks ago. They reside in Florida and we live in Indiana. We have a wireless camera that is connected to our wireless router. We call my parents and talk to them while we are on camera so they can see their grandchild.
I just found out their new MACBOOK had a built-in camera and I'm wondering how we can set that up so we can see them at the same time? Our child would love to be able to see his grandparents while we talk to them.
Our wireless camera has a built-in server and runs to a specific spot on our website so they can access it. But I don't know how the MAC works or what to do to tell them to set up the computer so we can see them.
Can someone direct me to some instructions on what I can do or give me some direction? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
John

I use a Dell Dimension for my computer. I do not use Skype at all. The wireless camera we have on our home network is a Dlink 900. It does not have any sound capabilities so we were not too worried about being able to have a true "video conference" with their laptop. We jsut wanted to be able to see them. I don't know if that video image can be sent to a webpage (like our d-link camera does) or not. Or, maybe there is a much easier way of doing this that I'm not aware of.
Thanks for your response.

This is the second time I have done a factory reset to fix the camera. This time it has not worked. What now!

Yes, your pictures taken with the Playbook camera certainly should show in the Pictures folder on the Playbook.
Just for the heck of it, can you try turning your Playbook off and back on and check your Pictures app/folder again?

Need help with Camera app

Hello RIM support,
I am a new owner of BB Playbook. Everything seems to be working okay except camera app. I can take a picture with it but nothing will show up in picture app. According to the help video, the pictures taken by camera app should show up in picture app from the menu option.
Please help.

Help with camera function on a 6350

We just got this phone and are trying to use the camera function. When we go Menu > Media > Camera it says "Not Allowed" and we cannot use it. There is nothing in the manual about this.
HELP!!!!!

Well, initially you could try to do a reboot. Remove the battery for 5min, then restart your phone.
Also please try to check if there are available updates for your phones.

Help With Camera Settings Of N8 Especially Taking ...

I would appreciate if anyone can advise on the camera settings of the N8 when taking pictures in the following conditions:-
a) Bright Sunny Day Outdoors
b) Semi-Bright Conditions Indoors, say in a Shopping Complex
c) Dim-Lighting Conditions Indoors, say in a restaurant with dim-lightings
d) Completely Dark Environment Outdoors, say along the street at night
e) Close-Up Picture of an Object in bright, semi-bright conditions or dim lighting conditions
My guess is as below. Please feel free to correct me if the settings are inaccurate.
*Settings highlighted in red*
a) Bright Sunny Day Outdoors
1) Scene mode : Automatic / User Defined / Close Up / Portrait / Landscape / Sport / Night / Night Portrait
2) Colour tone : Normal / Sepia / Black & white / Vivid

5) Light Sensitivity : Automatic / Low / Medium / High
6) Contrast - in the middle ie. neutral
7) Sharpness : Hard / Normal / Soft
b) Semi-Bright Conditions Indoors, say in a Shopping Complex
1) Scene mode : Automatic / User Defined / Close Up / Portrait / Landscape / Sport / Night / Night Portrait
2) Colour tone : Normal / Sepia / Black & white / Vivid
3) White Balance : Automatic / Sunny / Cloudy / Incandescent / Flourescent

7) Sharpness : Hard / Normal / Soft
Another question is for "Light Sensitivity", ISO="High" is described as "Ideal for use in low light without a flash and for freezing action in bright light". However, the flash is still enabled when the ISO is set to high. Any explanation for this?
Lastly, which is a better option to snap photos, the shutter button located at the side of the phone or the tap feature located on the touch screen?
I would appreciate some useful feedback from knowledgeable and seasoned N8 users who have mastered the skills in snapping photographs with this device. Kindly pay more attention to items b) and c) above as these are the conditions that require careful consideration to obtain sharp and crystal clear pictures. It is often more difficult to achieve good results in semi-dark or dim-lighting conditions if the settings are not configured properly.
Any advice appreciated.

I have a Touchsmart 9100 PC with a built in webcam, but i cannot get the webcam to work, help?

A light comes on the built in webcam when I for instance, activate a Skype video call, but no picture comes through. I thought this might be a problem with Skype, so i instead tried to just use the webcam like a photobooth however the camera still would not work.
What do you think the problem is? How do I uninstall and reinstall the webcam, might that help? or is this not possible with a built in device?
Thanks.

When I baught the PC I coud use it, then I put skype on it, it works on skype, but i cannot get a picture on the screen.

Need help with 4-5 camera set up for audio/video podcast

Hey guys. I'm overseeing the podcast/audiobook studio construction for my company's new entertainment venture. It will ultimately be my job to produce the podcasts and audiobooks. The catch is that they also want to film the podcasts as well. I'm trying to find the most affordable set up that makes the editing/conversion process easiest for me on FCPX.
As you'll see I'm a bit all over the place. The essentials for what I'm looking for is
1) The right Camcorder
2) The most efficient way to record, edit and sync audio
What is the most affordable camcorder to use that works really well with FCPX? I've been hearing rumors that some aren't compatable and require a tedious conversion process. The Kodak Zi8 seems perfect because it shoots in 1080p and has a mic input, but I'm not sure if it works well with FCPX. Now, I don't know if the mic input is necessary. I was thinking the easiest way to automatically sync audio is by plugging the 4 mics into the camera's mic input and record that way. That should sync everything up automatically right? I also watched a tutorial on the multicam editing option in Final Cut and that seems perfect for this project. Do I need a mic input if I use this method? It seems like the syncing is super easy with the built in camera audio and the podcast audio files together.
I also would like to be able to record directly into the computer but don't know if that's possible. The process of taking 4-5 SD cards and uploading it after each shoot that way seems super tedious. I'm not sure if there is way to do that.
Another option would be for us to buy a video switcher but all the options seem so expensive. Anybody know of good hardware that'd work? That way I could edit on the go and if we want to make this a live ustream we can do so. I was also thinking about switcher software and using MIDI. Not sure if that is possible either.

Lets ignore whether you should be doing this, but, if they are requesting that you do it, have at it.
Although, the simplicity of this is mind boggling, for them not to do it...ah well, you're donating for a non profit, they are probably the cheapest game in town, and lost the sole employee who could scratch their backside...
Choice one, I dont recommend this one - File > Print booklet, 2 up saddle stitch. Flip back and forth using the Print Settings button at the bottom to orient the page layout and set paper size. Set the printer as Adobe PDF. Keep checking the Preview in the main Print Booklet dialog, I had to set a page range of 39 pages in a 40 page book for this to work last week.
Choice two - If you have set a 44 page document with bleeds, export to pdf, toggle "Use ducument bleeds", no crops. Place those reulting pdf's in a new 11 x 17, landscape doc, with appropriate bleeds. How you defined the bleeds in the 44 page document dictates how much fiddling you will have to do at the center (fold line) of the new 11 x 17 "imposed" document. (If your 44 page was not set as facing pages, you might have defind inside bleed to zero. If it was not set as a facing pages document, it references top, bottom, left and right bleeds) (The use of pdf for this is not necessary, you could just as easily place pages from the original InDesign file as pdf's) Setting a blue line/guide line at the center would help to crop in bleeding frames.
All above seems too simple, you are only needing to impose pages 22-23 for these steps btw.

Terrible customer service, and no help with defective camera

Madams and Sirs,
This camera (see below) was a Christmas present, and we discovered first last week that it had a manufacturing defect. (one of the small tabs holding the case half together got installed in a pinched way.)
Best Buy has always had fantastic customer service, and we have been very happy. We have spend many thousand dollars in your store every year. So we were sure the store would have a solution.
We took it in to your store #1423 on Curtner in San Jose to try to exchange or replace under warranty.
I understand you sometimes you are not able to help a customer, but this email is first about the shock I got when I spoke with Megan in customer service.
As many customers in Silicon Valley, I am an engineering manager, and we have performed destructive testing on many of our own products. The defect on this camera is obviously a manufacturing defect, and not possible to be caused by poor handling. This is very obvious.
Megan told me with other employees as well as my son listening next to me that I was a liar, and that the damage was caused by abuse, and not a defect. I tried to explain that was not possible, and she interrupted me, and again said that i was not telling the truth, and that the assembly error was caused by us.
I then asked if it was possible to have the matter reviewed by the store manager, and she responded she was the store manager.
I left with the camera, and the matter unresolved, and had to explain to my son that I was not a liar, and that Megan must be wrong and "some people just have a bad day sometimes".
I will not be spoken to with insults like that, and I can no longer go to your store with my kids, and if my employees treated any customer the way Megan did, I would make sure she received training to correct this. If the store manager have this attitude to customers, the entire organisation usually follows, and I will not be a customer in a store like that.
1. Please help resolve this issue.Order number: {removed per forum guidelines}

Hello erikev,
Cameras are nice to have, especially with young children, so I can imagine how frustrating it can be to find yourself with a pinched casing. When something goes wrong, it’s never a fun situation, and while it may not be something we can necessarily help with, great customer service should still be provided. It sounds like this didn’t happen the way we hoped, and I’m sorry this was at your expense.
As this situation is definitely concerning, I looked into your account to see how I might be able to assist. However, I have found your concerns have reached Terrance with our executive support team. He is currently looking into your situation and should contact you once more information is available. From here, Terrance will be your first point of contact.
Hopefully he can find a good resolution for you,

Need help with the new Multi-cam feature in CC

Hi,
I'm trying to use the Multi-cam feature in CC and have a few questions, so would be happy with help/advice for any of the issues below. The platform is Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
The first question is what am I doing wrong? This question relates to the fact I'm trying to use Multi-cam and encountering a lot of frustrating glitches, as sometimes it seems to work and at others it doesn't.
The video I'm trying to edit comes from a dance show so I created a sequence called Act 1. I then highlighted the six clips of Act 1 with Cam 01 at the top, as I wanted the audio from this clip and made a Multi-cam feature using the audio synch. I dragged it to the sequence, set the prog window to Multi-cam and was amazed at how well it had synchronised all clips, as I could see all six clips with great audio synch from Cam 01. So far so good and after thinking how brilliant it was, things went downhill from there
I started by using ripple delete to drag to the start of Act one and then tried editing with Multi-cam. That's where I encountered the first problem, as sometimes it seemed to toggle between cams but didn't put edit points in and the selected cam had a yellow border and not a red one. At other times it inserted edit points when I changed cams and the selected cam has a red border. I can't work out what I'm doing, or not doing for this to happen. Can anyone help please?
The second question is how do I cut audio and video at exactly the same point, as I want to edit out pauses in between the different elements of the actual dance show. When I use the razor tool in Multi-cam it only cuts the video. I tried highliting audio and video using shift, but to no effect. If it matters audio and video are shown as linked when I right click. I thought I might get it to work if I revealed all original clips within the MC nest using the technique shown in "Adobe Learn." This was Ctrl double click, but it resulted in the third problem.
When I tried Ctrl double click I ended up with only Cam 02 showing in the V2 track and after some frustrating attempts at resolving this issue I decided to start all over again. I deleted the PP project and created a new one, importing everything again. I followed exactly the same procedure as I originally did to create a Multi-cam nest, but when I dragged it to the new sequence I saw Cam 02 in V2 of the sequence, which is the same as it was before I deleted the original project. Premiere Pro seems to have annoyingly remembered the actions that went wrong, so please can anyone tell me how to tell Premiere Pro not to do this?
Thanks if anyone can help me on any of the issues.

In Premiere Pro, multi-camera is accomplished by nesting a sequence. There's a new, more automated way of doing this in CC. View the steps here: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/04/a-quick-walkthrough-of-editing-a-multi-camera-s equence-with-clips-synchronized-by-audio.html
HOWEVER, you must be warned that multi-cam in CC is currently broken. A patch is in the works, but until it is released you should not use multi-cam in CC.

Please can someone help,my in built camera on my Macbook Pro is not working what can i do to activate it back.

Yuu can try to reactivate your iSight camera by opening up iMessage.. navigate to Preferences/Audio Video,and then click on Camera. IT shoudl be grayed-out if you only have one camera hooked up to your machine. If you have an external camera, then disconnect it from your machine.

Welcome to Discussions, DillonR333
(1) I am not certain exactly what you are trying to do because hotmail is email. If you merely want to attach a video clip to an email, your iSight can do that without mercury.
(2) If you are looking for a video chat app that is compatible with the Windows Live chat server, consider the following:
• http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger-8/default.mspx
Because Microsoft has apparently changed its protocols, the old Mac alternatives
(Microsoft Messenger for Mac, Mercury, and aMSN) will no longer connect for video.
For more info, see: http://tinyurl.com/ycxnbpr
(3) Any video chat apps, including the above, can work with your built-in iSight. If you think you iSight may be faulty, troubleshoot as recommended here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(4) If you have problems video chatting even though your iSight works with Apple apps like QuickTimeX and iMovie, your problem is likely software. You will need to determine whether you are using the correct client app for the chat servers that your contacts use. Ask your contacts to tell you what computer, OS, and application they are using for video chat. From that info, we can determine which software you need to run to connect to the same chat server they are using.
(5) If your problem remains although you have compatible client software and your iSight works with Apple apps, you may have a bad download or install of the software. You can try downloading and reinstalling again.
(6) We will watch for your status update. If you need more suggestions, give as much info as you can about what you are trying to do and what you have tried that does not work. We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your reply.
