How can I shut off built in camera and use another one?

I'm trying to use one of Apple's older auxillary cameras to shoot auditions.People will sit on the other side of my computer.
I plug it into my Imac, but the system doesn't recognize it and I continue to see only
myself. How can I turn the other camera on?

With the external (Firewire) iSight connected, (do not chain external iSight with other Firewire devices) if your  > System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire does not recognize the external iSight, use the suggestions here to test whether your old iSight is still functional:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
Once your system recognizes both cameras, be sure to rotate the ring at the front lens cover of the external iSight clockwise to turn it on and open the lens shutter.
With more than one working camera recognized by your system, most camera-capable applications have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way. For example:
• iMovie 9 ('11) uses a choices bar in the "Import from Camera" window:
More info: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
• For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
• Photo Booth uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use. Remember, camera choice for any app will be available only if more than one working camera is recognized by your system. With only one camera, the choices will not be visible.
• For FaceTime,if your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
• QuickTimeX uses Preferences to select between connected cameras.
QTX video Preference settings are visible only when you have a new video recording window open. The image below shows how to access QTX video Preferences from an open video recording window:
Note that only one webcam (iSight) is shown in this image because I had only one camera connected to my Mac at the time. When more than one compatible camera is connected, you will see the additional camera name and can select it in this menu.
• For cameras connected via Flash browser plugins, control-click on an open video window and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera:

• For other apps, check the app's menu items or Help to find out how to select between connected cameras.

How to disable adobe flash in chrome and use windows adobe X

I keep getting "shockwave flash has crashed" and was told to disable flash player in chrome, but when I do that, videos won't play. I DO have Adobe X installed but chrome won't use it. However, just having it seems to cause a conflict. I have Windows 7 office and Adobe flash player 17 Active X. thanks.

I'm loading CS5 (upgraded from CS3). It's the computer OS that I've had to remove it from before - and it doesn't appear in the Startup folder, unlike in Windows XP's system. (Or in the Control Panel, although there is a "Color Management" folder that lists color profiles I've downloaded from Epson when I downloaded my printer drivers for Windows 7).
So I guess Windows 7 doesn't include it, and I am free to do my calibration. Adobe's tech support phone line is closed for the weekend so I am turning to you forum experts. There must be someone out there who has encountered this in setting up a new computer system and loading PS onto it. Thanks for the input from both you and John.

Built-in iSight and Logitech Fusion

I have an iMac-Intel with built-in iSight and a new Logitech Fusion web cam. Both work fine in iChat as it recognizes both and let's me easily choose one or the other in Preferences.
However, when using video chat at sites that use the Flash player, only the built-in iSight is selectable and the Logitech cam (also USB) is not.
Is there a way to deactivate the built-in iSight so that the Logitech cam can be my primary cam?
iMac - Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9)

This problem occurs because Flash is only listing drivers (instead of devices) and the two cameras are both using the Apple UVC driver. Here's a possible workaround, but I can't try this, as I don't have a Fusion here:
1) Download macam 0.9.1 from here:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
2) Install the macam driver by dragging macam.component to the "drag component to here" folder.
3) Make sure your Fusion is connecting, and open macam.app. If you don't see the settings drawer, choose "Camera Settings" from the "Control" menu.
4) In the settings drawer, you should see a "Disable" checkbox in the lower right-hand corner. If it's checked, make sure it is unchecked.
5) If you made changes, choose "Save Current setting" from the "Control" menu.
6) Quit macam.app, and any open web browsers or video chat programs.
7) Relaunch your web browser and bring up the Flash video settings. You should now see a new item in the list of cameras, as the Fusion should now be using the macam driver.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Glen

How to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser

how to disable the selection of "Title and logo URL of a SharePoint 2013 site" from browser or How can we able to set our custom default log to the sp2013 site using code.So that users are not allowed to change from browser again.
Thanks & Regards, Krishna

Hi Krishna,
For your issue, you need to deploy a farm solution using HideCustomAction to hide site settings link. For example to hide “Title, description, and logo” link you can use below code:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<HideCustomAction
GroupId="Customization"
HideActionId = "ProjectSettings"
Location = "Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings">
</HideCustomAction>
</Elements>

Hi. Why do you want to disable 008? That message means no account assignment has been entered, you will not be able to save your cart.
What is 882? I can not see that in SRM 5.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS. The screen died and it's not worth replacing. How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS. The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model. I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need? What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases. How can I accomplish this?
My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive. Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
I know this is lengthy. Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later. A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

A friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use mine which I want to sync with my Ipad and Iphone?

A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library. Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.
