How do you enable isight camera when using MSN?

Or isn't it possible? My kids also tell me MSN + is a lot better, but that doesn't appear to be available for mac. I read somewhere you can link ichat to MSN using something called Jabber. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

I use SightSpeed for use with my uncool Windows friends:

It is free and easy to work with, both parties need to have it on their computers. In my experience everything is a pale second to iChat, I have tried them all. Loving iChat!

  • How do I enable my camera when the option is greyed out in iChat?

    This may be a dumb question, especially as I only 'converted' to Macs 3 days ago... but when I start iChat the option to enable my camera is greyed out (it wasn't this morning when I checked) - what have I pressed to disable it and how do I re-enable it?
    I have a MacBook Pro with a built-in camera (bought 3 days ago strangely....)
    Thanks for any advice you can offer

    Two Places to Check
    In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
    Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
    If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
    Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.

  • How do you *unset*  Content-Type when using HttpURLConnection ?

    Hi people,
    I am using HttpURLConnection to set some http headers. It all works fine except that this utility is setting Content-type to text/html even though I cam not coding it to do so. I can overwrite Content-type by setting it to say, a blank, explicitly in the code, but Content-type still appears as a header (eg if I view the headers in a proxy.)
    My question is - how do you completely unset Content-Type? Here's the code snippet :
    URL url = new URL("http://mymachine-uk.uk.company.com:24331/test.html");
    HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    con.setIfModifiedSince(longdate); // I've set up longdate previously
    // set some headers
    con.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control","max-age=0");
    con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0");
    con.setRequestProperty("Keep-Alive","300");
    // I've tried hacking it like this :
    // con.setRequestProperty("Content-type",null);
    // but that just shows an empty Content-type, rather than get rid of it.
    // In a proxy window on port 24331, the three headers set explicitly above
    // all show up correctly. But Content-type:text/html is also shown, even though not coded.
    // If I fire off the same page request from a browser, Content-type ISN'T set.
    // so there must be a way of doing it :-) Help!
    thanks.

    Hi there,
    thanks very much for trying this, the background to this is as follows :
    I am testing a software server caching product which is giving me weird behaviour; the actions the cache performs are supposed to be based on the various http headers. I am using a debug proxy ("Charles") (limited freeware-for-a-short-period) to see exactly what http headers are being set by the calling browser, or in this case, the java program. I am setting the headers directly in the code above to match what my browser is setting, as revealed by Charles. Trouble is, I'm getting different reponses back: The browser gets a http 304 from the cache and my java program gets a 200, so I have obviously failed to emulate the browser.. and the only difference I can see is that the Conetnt-Type is not set when I call the page from internet explorer, but with my program above, Content-Type is set, to a default of text/html. I want to get rid of it so I have copied the browser http header settings 100%.
    - I tried compiling this code and running it from the prompt (outside of development environment) and Content-Type is still showing up. So from what you are saying... if your attempt does not set this.. then it looks like Content-type must be getting set via some other means?
    thankyou :-)

    How to turn Mac camera on depends on what Mac OS X you are using.
    If you are using the latest Mac OS versions, (OS X 10.8 or 10.9,) you may need to configure your Mac's System Preferences > Flash Player > Camera and Mic settings before starting the following.
    Try <control>Click in the Flash video window.  A dialog box like the one in this image should open. 
    Click on "Settings...".  A dialog box like the one below should open.
    Click the camera tab at the bottom of the window, then on the camera you want to select (unless you have more than one connected camera, it will be the only one,) the camera and its green indicator light should start working now,  and then the dialog "Close" button.
    For more info on camera settings, see Adobe - Flash Player : Help - Camera Settings
    If you are still having trouble making your camera to work, when you post back, please tell us which Mac OS X version you use (you can find your version by clicking your Mac's  > About this Mac menu item)

  • How do you turn off sounds when using phone?

    I know this question is not appropriate for this forum but I cannot find where it should go. I want to turn off the sounds when I am using my phone, e.g., when I am texting, each time I press a key it make a sound. If I turn down the volume then I cannot hear it ring so this is not the answer.
    I have the Nokia 7020 phone. I cannot find any help in the userguide, only how to change ring tones. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    On my Lumia 900, it's under Settings -> ringtones+sounds, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of check boxes, and uncheck "Key press".  Not sure it's the same for your phone, though.

  • How can you Keep column links when using export CVS

    I am exporting a report using Report Template of export: CVS. This report is a copy of a report that have column links that work. However, when I export the report using export: CVS the excel file no longer has the links in the columns.
    How can I get the link to be transferred to excel?
    Thanks

    446336,
    When you export anything as CSV type it is a plain ordinary text file - MS Excel opens it because it has knowledge of this type of file (ie text delimited by comma/tab).
    You seem to need a bit more than that - best if you search the forum for ¨excel¨ or maybe ¨report exports¨. I believe there are some threads here that may help - I think it needs java or some fancy PL/SQL to do it.

  • How do you recognize JLabel pictures when using mouseListener

    Im doing a project where im making parcheesi. for this project im using mouseListener and JLabel images on top of JPanel squares. I need to be able to be able to recognize each color in order to either move the image or to create a new one. Any pointers on how to do this?

    It sounds like you're starting your game with the GUI. It's generally a better idea to get the actual workings of the game out of the way first and worry about the GUI last. A command line parcheesi game might not be pretty, but it's probably best to program your GUI independently of game function.
    For example, store the parcheesi board in a 2D array (or something of the sort) of chars. Then you can have a function the draws the board based on that array. Clicking and dragging would also use that array to paint the appropriate pieces. But like I said, that should be your last step.
    That's just me though. People tend to rush into the GUI part of a program, even after advised to do otherwise.

  • Pre - How do you silence external ringer when using headphones?

    When I get a call while using the headphones, I'd like to hear the ringer in my headphones only... Currently when I get a call it rings in the headphones AND via the external speaker. So let's say Im sitting in church listening to music on my phone :-)... and I happen to get a call, instead of me just hearing the call in my headphones, the entire church gets to hear my phone ring as well...
    I have tried silencing the phone but that silences the ringer in the headphones as well.
    It seems like I could do this on the first phone I had (I took my first pre back for various other reasons)... but for whatever reason I cannot seem to make it work on the new phone. Maybe Im just not setting the preferences correctly... Any suggestions?

  • How can you see the progress when using a ForEach loop?

    Hi,
    I have an array with about 100 containers in it. My main thread uses a ForEach loop with an inner case structure with six possibilities. My previous program had all the steps in a very long list, executing them one by one. I find this new approach is much nicer to look at, and easier to change, but there isn't really any way of telling how far along the test is (unless you know it by heart). In the long list approach, you could see all the Done/Passed outcomes and how many remained, now there is no way of telling.
    Any tips on making some kind of progress indication? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As ObjectReference parameter, you should use 'Nothing'. The last parameter (synchronuous?) you can choose true or false. Please refer to the documentation of PostUIMessageEx for further information.
    The numeric parameter should range between 0-100. Since it is "Progress Percent", this makes sense, does it?
    The status bar has several panes, one e.g. displaying the logged in user or the used process model. The pane on the right most side will display the Progress Percent if used in your sequence.
    The default reporting, as already stated, includes this feature. So if you have a sequence with e.g. 500 steps, the reporting "will have a visible progress" in that pane (with less than 100 steps, it is most often too fast to see). Remember that NI Sequence Editor and the Full Featured User Interfaces do have this feature, the Simple UI does not have it.

  • How do you disconnect Publish site when using a test copy of the website?

    To sort out a solution for accessibility, I made a copy of the live Muse file called "Testing" and did my experiements on this. However, how can i disconnect this copy from the live website as I might click Publish accidentally not realsing I am in the testing site and it will synchronise with the live site (which it also tries to do when I open the "testing" Muse file as in the meanwhile changes have been made to the live site). In other words, I want Muse to treat this copy as a new site, not a variation of the live one but I can't find anyway of doing this inside Muse?

    Publish the test site to a new trial BC site (meant for testing) so the next time you hit the Publish button accidentally, it connects to this newly created test website.
    Thanks,

  • How do you enable your iPhone when it is disabled

    I just got the iphone 5s and was setting up my phone i did the passcode option and wasnt paying attention press the code in and locked myself out of it. I thought I knew it tried it several more times and locked myself out, I think for good. I dont even have the option on  putting in the passcode anymore and it tells me to connect it to itunes but i cannot, because it says put in the passcode in order to access itunes.

    Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
