How can you auto-accept Video Calls in Messages.app

In Ichat there used to be a way to select a user and under "alerts" (which is no longer a perference option in messages) choose to auto-accept video calls from that person.
Is there a way to set up Messages to auto acccept video calls? It was great for when I wanted to check in on my puppy.
Thanks!

HI,
In the normal setting of Messages this is no longer possible.
I would use here to ask for the feature back

The page was never very good at keeping up to date with iChat version numbers so type your specs into the Free Text area.
It might be possible to copy the AppleScript that did this and make a copy and remove the non Video bits and use it from the Dock.

How can I auto accept file transfers in Messages?

There used to be a setting to enable an auto-accept of file transfers in Messages.app (desktop version). This looks to be gone in Mavericks. I use Messages for work and need the ability to just auto accept files that my team sends me via IM. Thanks.

Hi,
That is because it is only now linked to the Messages Received option in the section at the top.
The actual Script (Messages app Right click > Show Packages Contents > Contents/Resources/Scripts) still contains the info to Auto Accept any invite.
The new script contains some lines to prevent errors.
You would probably need to extract the bits you needed and run the AppleScript all the time.
i.e. someone has changed the Script for Messages 8 but has not allowed the same access to the Script by the app for the things it is supposed to do.
If enough people complain or give Feedback hopefully the Alerts pane will come back

I use this page as Messages is built on the iChat Engine.
The page has never been brilliant at keeping up to date (it does not even list iChat 6 for Lion) so put you specs in the free text area.

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time?

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
Good luck, and happy editing,

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

You need burn software which will author/encode the movie so it can be viewed using any DVD player - there is iDVD (still available as part of the retail 09 or 11 iLife disks at online resellers including ebay and Amazon) or Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free, but very basic).

how can you delete a video off your iphone 4s which has ios7?

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

How can i play encrypted video(.mp4) in iphone app?

Hello,
I want to play encrypted mp4 video in my app.
How can i play encrypted video in iphone app?

Thanks for your assistance. Unfortunately I'm still not able to get this to work.
First, I don't see an export to Quicktime in AppleTV format setting. The only choices that I have are export to Quicktime in Full, CD, email or streaming video format.
I tried both full and CD but I still cannot get it to my AppleTV. Once the video is in Quicktime format I drag and drop the file into my iTunes library. It shows up in the movies directory on Itunes but when I sync Itunes with Apple TV - nothing. Everything else syncs but just not the quicktime movie.
Any ideas?

How can I do a video call with my friend?

I am new to the tech world,61 yr.old senior citizen. I do not know anything yet, a tech connected to Skype so I could see and talk live to my friend via of video but she has an Apple i-phone so I can't yet. I was wondering if she's connected to face book can I contact her via Skype to her Facebook contact she has on her i-phone that uses Apple's version of their Skype? Since Skype is free to the Facebook users. Sorry, I can't be a volunteer. I can ask questions that alot of Seniors like me would be able to learn about this community and we could read some topics that we could use to start us off and reply what works in our circumstances and eventually maybe develop the skills that would makes us useful to the Program.

Dear Newbie-61,
Welcome to the Skype Community!
All calls between Skype users are free, regardless of which computer or handheld phone or tablet they use to call each other. What is important is that the Skype software must be downloaded and installed on the particular computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone that you use. Depending upon what kind of set-up you have, you may or may not need a separate headset. Laptop computers and smart phones use the microphone and camera that comes with them.
To download Skype, please start by clicking on this link: Download Skype After you download and install Skype, sign on using the account you used to post your message on this Community.
Then. you and your friend can exchange contact invitations. This FAQ article explains how to do it:

How can i get skype video calling to work on my mini ipad

do need an additional webcam for skype calling

No. The iPad has a built in Camera that faces the front of the iPad you can use.
All you need to do, is download the Skype App from the App Store. Once downloaded, Open it, and sign into your Skype account. If you don't have one, you can create one using the "New to Skype?" Create an Account > " option at the bottom of the screen.
From there just tap on a contact to bring up the Details page, and tap on the Video Call button to start a call.

How can you test the video card?

I just got a cinema display and I am having trouble calibrating it.
I just notice that when I open up bridge CS4 it takes awhile for it to refresh. When I go to film strip view and click on a picture it will not diplay it.
Then I change views and there is a line down the middle of the display where it gets update but the left side does not.
Any thoughts on what it could be?
Video card of is it the monitor?
How can I test it?

The only ways I can think of to test the card are XBench and the Apple Hardware Tests (insert Install DVD and restart while holding down 'd')

How can you view flash video on ipad

Is there an app that you can get that will let you watch flash video on your iPad? Since adobe flash is not supported on iPad

You can try one of the app/service combinations for playing Flash such as Skyfire , Puffin, or iSwifter. One of those might work for you, though they all have limitations and do not work with all Flash-based sites and services
