How to set my Mac to wake automatically when invited to join a video chat?

Is it possible to set my Mac to wake automatically from Sleep when invited to join a video chat?
Also, is it possible to show that I am still available when my Mac is sleeping?
It seems that if these settings are not possible, there can be no spontaneity with iChat. You have to pre-arrange a video chat by email or whatever, in which case you are not adding much once you have arranged the call--you may as well carry on with the email or whatever other contact method you use.
Or is there some other way to arrange video chat?

No, neither of these are possible. When your Mac is asleep it does not remain connected to anything on the 'net.
It seems that if these settings are not possible,
there can be no spontaneity with iChat. You have to

The only way you could do it is to leave your Mac on and iChat connected at all times. You could then set your display to switch off after a certain amount of time.
That way your Mac will remain connected via iChat and you'll be able to receive video chats at any time. In fact i believe an incoming call via iChat will even switch the display back on (though i haven't tested this myself).

  • How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?

    I am trying to write a new plugin where the metadata will be automatically added to the photo when I import the photo in the Lightroom.
    How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?
    Thanks for  your help!

    As John said, there is no mechanism to receive notification of import. The likely recourse is continuous polling (unless you get very creative..).
    You can try optimizing. e.g.: every second (or less), see if the count has changed, if it's gone up, something's been imported, if not then probably not (check anyway once in a while..).

    How do I save the custom metadata with the image file?
    Lightroom 5 has the limitation, plugin  cannot link the custom metadata fields to XMP file or save them with image file.
    So, is there any alternative way to save the custom metadata?
    Yeah: Lightroom won't save custom metadata in xmp, nor read it if it's there, so you are pretty much on your own - you can save in a file, but if you save as non-standard sidecar Lr won't attend to it like it will jpg or xmp sidecar. For that reason it's often better to save in a separate dedicated location. You can save in image file itself, e.g. using exiftool if raw file, but that would make me nervous, and of course you'd have to have the logic to read it somewhere too..
    Good luck,

    when a VI stopped, the AO channel stopped on the level it's get, how to set these analog output to zero when stop a vi?

    Hi!
    As a second option (and if your device supports it ) you could set the property "Idle Output Behavior"

  • MAC Pro wakes automatically at 8:00 p.m. local time no matter what I do

    MAC Pro purchased November 2008 wakes up automatically every day at exactly 8:00 p.m. local time (was 7:00 p.m. before daylight savings happened last month). It has been doing this since purchase. Even if I turn it off (i.e., not just sleep mode) it starts up automatically at this time; in fact, even if I turn the power bar off after turning off the MAC, when next day I turn on the power bar, the MAC starts up automatically immediately, as if it was waiting to do so.
    Attempted fixes so far:
    * went to Energy Saver Preferences and made sure MAC not set to turn on automatically; changed settings and also set them to sleep at, for example, 8:01. No effect.
    * checked that Blue Tooth is turned off.
    * reset "the" PROM (I assume there is only one).
    * explicitly trashed com.apple.Autowake.plist and com.apple.PowerManagement.plist, then changed Energy Saver Preferences, saying wakeup every day then leaving them set with no wakeup, then shut down computer. No effect; MAC woke up on 8:00 schedule as before.
    * Changed my Security Preferences to Require password to wake this computer and Disable automatic logon. Now the MAC comes up automatically at 8:00 p.m. to the password entry window, but it still comes up that far automatically.
    Configuration:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
    Memory: 10 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
    SMC Version: 1.25f4
    Have 3 750GB Seagate internal drives plus the standard 350GB (?) Apple drive. Using one of the Seagate drives as my OS drive (10.5.4).
    If anyone can suggest what I might try to solve this, I would be very grateful. I'm wondering if maybe my SMC or ROM version is wrong (it seems to me to likely be a firmware issue, but I really don't know of course; not sure what MAC Model to use to check whether I have the most current versions -- "MAC Pro" or "MAC Pro - 8 core" or "MAC Pro - 2008"...).

    There was an update I thought to fix this, but if you really have not updated to 10.5.6, try that.
    The bug has something to do with GMT and setting the wake time to something, like a time when you would normally have it on and using it, like 12 noon, can also work.
    And of course plugging "Mac GMT startup" into Google leads to an Apple technote:

  • How to set up mac mail to keep mail on server for 1 year

    Hello;
    i use mac mail and want to keep the mail on the mail server longer than 1 month, i would liketo keep it for 1 year.
    Is there something i can configure this, instead of the options 1 day, 1 week, 1 month? 1 month is too short.
    Keeping it forever is also not good.
    An alternative would be to keep it 'forever' and then use the 'webmail' interface to remove mails older than 1 year
    but his is too much work.
    best regards

    POP accounts will only give you control to server settings at the inbox. If you never remove it from the server, it will download all messages when you log into your account from another computer. This could be a problem with thousands of messages left on a server.
    For IMAP, your inbox will atuomatically sync to the IMAP inbox, so what you do in Mail or Webmail will reflect the change at the other.
    For the other mailboxes, storing messages on the server in Mail settings basically syncs the IMAP and local mailboxes like the inbox does. So, if you trash a sent message in Mail, it will trash it at the IMAP site.
    If they are left in those mailboxes, then the server setting in Mail will control how long the remain in those mailboxes unless you move them or delete them manually.
    If not set to store on the server, the local mailbox will not sync with the IMAP. So, deleting a sent message from the local sent mailbox will not delete the sent message in the IMAP sent mailbox.
    Some accounts like GMail have settings at their site that will let you further control how mail is handled.
    You can make settings to archive messages automatically when deleted from the inbox or sent folder. I believe that is the default setting in GMail. That would be what you want to save all your mail.  That would keep your inbox and sent mailboxes clean. Look at your IMAP site to see what settings you can make there.
    In GMail, the "all mail" is just a reflection of all messages kept and archived. You have no settings control of this mailbox on your mac in Mail. But, you can view the "all mail" under the IMAP folder in Mail.
    You can still set up a smart mailbox on your mac in mail to show the messages in the "all mail" mailbox that are greater than a year old. Only those would show up in that smart mailbox and you can just select all and delete without having to visually look at all the messages in the IMAP "all mail".

  • Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

    Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

    Hello:
    There is nothing wrong with asking questions.  There  are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions. 
    If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly.  *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

  • How to set full-screen page displaying automatically  on portal.

    one viewset included two views (named <b>topView</b> and <b>detailView)</b>
    putting a <i>table control</i> in the <b>detailView,boz</b> of many columns of the <i>table</i>  exceed the width of portal screen,which result in the  <b>topView</b> is the same width to the <b>detailView</b>.both of the two views exceed out of the full-screen width.but i don't wanna move the <b>topView</b> when i drag <i>scroll horizontal bar control</i>. so i added a <b>ScrollContainer</b> into the <b>detailView,and</b> put the <i>talbe</i> control into it.
    the confusoning is :i don't know how to set the the <u>width</u> of the  <b>ScrollContainer</b>  cotrol , to keep it  full-page displaying any time on portal .
       u know the IE'Screen resolution setting maybe different ,e,g,:1024786px  and 800600px.

    HI,
    Give the width in % instead of mentioning in pixels.
    ie. for full width, give 100%.
    Make sure the layout is GridLayout.

  • How to set the default Excel cell format when opening XML to XLS using an existing stylesheet​?

    Hi,
    I have an XML file, which I'm opening with the Excel application. The stylesheet I use is horizontal.xsl.
    The problem arised when the XML has data in the format "1/4" or "1/16", which is translated in the Excel as date (like "01/04/2007").
    I think I have to set the default cell type to "Text" instead of "General". Does anyone know how it can be done?

    Is this the same question as idoZo, if so jigg has already answered it. If not then you should post your own query not hijack someone elses giving a clear and concise question, "how to set it??" doesn't help you or other in the forum to provide you with a solution.
    Is this relevant to TestStand? If it is then help by providing which version you are using and what software you are using with it. If not then post your question in the correct board.

  • How could the wireless ethernet card running automatic when system reboot?

    I have already setup the wireless networking card correctly which name is wpi0,but every time when I use it to link to internet,
    I had to key the instuction like this :
    ifconfig wpi0 plumb
    ifconfig wpi0 up
    ifconfig wpi0 dhcp
    and then input:
    wificonfig -i wpi0 connect mywifi
    comment: mywifi is the profile file of connection to my wireless router
    I had set it with the instruction before like thisi
    wificonfig createprofile mywifi essid=2WIRE678 encryption=wep wepkey1=1234567890
    anybody can help me group up the command line and has it running automatic when system reboot
    it seems the wireless card always need manual connect to router, that 's trouble.

    It should connect on it's own. Which version of Solaris are you using?
    If worse comes to worse just drop all of your commands into a simple script and then run that script as part of your .profile or equivalent.
