Hold "fn" Press "3" and they standard keyword shows
But actually for me it didn't work but I found another one:
PRESS THE EJECT BUTTON! ⏏
And the virtual keybord will appear, even if you have a Bluetooth Keyboard connected.

How to use other webcam?

I'm sorry if my topic is a bit vague, not sure how else to word it. Anyway, I was wondering how to use a different webcam (logitech)? It came with a disc so I can install the software, but how do I make it my default?
Thanks

Hello DerangedSmile,
Let us know what model Logitech cam you have. And see if it's listed here:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html
I'm assuming you've checked preferences and the webcam does or does not show up as a choice? Probably the disc that you have has MS drivers only. If so, you might consider the above link/product.
Respectfully,

You can use the same installer, if you kept it, and the same serial number, if you still have it, and the old serial number, if it was an upgrade.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

If I install Windows 7 on iMac (what we have done many times and it works very good) does windows support the fusion drive?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Fusion Drive is created by software on OS X. On a computer with Fusion Drive, Windows is installed on the HDD, but when you install the Boot Camp drivers, you will be able to read Macintosh HD, so it looks like it supports Fusion Drive but only for read

I'm not quite sure what you want - if you want an overview of all open windows, use the F key.. Otherwise please post back and be more specific.

You can resize the keyboard window, positioning the mouse pointer at the edge of the window, clicking and dragging to the desired size.

I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "P" appear under the "R" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs

I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "A" appear under the "B" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs and genres. It suddenly happened after about 3 days of iOS 5 usage. Re-synchronization doesn't help. I also tried deleting some artists from ipod, but it doesn't help either.

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

How do I redownload elements to my new computer, I have the key and S/N?

How do I redownload elements to my new computer, I have the key and S/N?

Apparently Adobe does not offer support for Elements12 and Premier. Frustrating I spent most of yesterday trying to down load the two files you and Chat directed me to and nothing happened, the files wouldn't properly download.
Your thoughts,

Does anyone know how to use Retropect back soft ware - I need help with it

Is there anyone familiar with Retrospect Backup software here who might be able to help me with the following problem ?
My 2007 iMac with the tiger 10.4.11 OS suddenly crashed exactly two weeks ago when I told the trash to empty. The reason was that some malware or virus had appeared on my computer. There was an alias icon on the desktop that linked to a core item in the system folder; that is why it crashed. It was the malware that put it there somehow.
So, I was left with a dead computer without an operating system to make it work.
I telephoned Applecare for help as I was clueless as to what to do. Because I can’t write the thousands of words here to describe the ghastly experience Applecare have been I will miss that out for the time being. Suffice to say it has been utterly excruciating and horrible and I have so far lost all my data, including all the software I have ever bought, because of them. That’s 23 years of writing stuff onto to all the previous Macs I’ve owned.
So, the question is this. I have a Retrospect backup software backup in my external hard disk. This should still have all my information on as it was a backup made just the day before the computer crashed.
But I no longer have the Retrospect software on either my external hard disk or on the computer, so when I double click on the Retrospect icon in the external hard disk I get a message asking me to find the application software to open it with. I haven’t got it ( thanks to applecare’s utter incompetence).
Applecare had insisted that I would be able to retrieve my data from this backup if they installed Snow Leopard to make the computer work. But when I tried to do this the computer crashed again and I was left without an OS again. Yet another visit to the ‘genius’ bar (what a joke) at the Applestore and this time they installed Leopard which ended up leaving me without any data at all.
The Retrospect support people told me that I could only retrieve information from this backup if the computer had the original Operating system, i.e. OS Tiger 10.4.11.
The question is, can anybody here tell me exactly how to retrieve a Retrospect backup from my external hard disk, because so far, both Applecare & Retrospect support have not been of any help at all really and I have spent every waking minute of the past two weeks trying to sort out this problem without any success so far.
Help !

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

New iMac, what to do with Macbook Pro

Hi there,
Okay, I have me new 27" iMac and all my files transferred, but I'm unsure of what to do with my Macbook Pro. (And don't say send it to me! )
Is there an easy way to keep all my files synced between the two? I'm not sure if I will use my MBP any more, I never really travelled with it anyplace and I have an iPad for my overnight trips.
My MBP:
17" 1920x1200 high resolution matte display
2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
8600GT 256MB Nvidia graphics
4GB of DDR2
160GB harddrive
OS X 10.6.7
This thing runs great and has served me well for the last two years. I thought about selling the MBP, I would rather have somebody use it rather than have it sit on a shelf. I think that the small harddrive might scare some people off, so I thought aobut upgrading it before I sell. I've heard that install a SSD will really increase the performance, but there is a much higher cost there.
Looking for some ideas/suggestions.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks, I sell and buy things on Craigslist, and Jason has some good info. Since my MBP is about 3 years old, I won't be going through that effort.
I'll list again on Craigslist and see how it goes. I looked into the Apple recycle plan and they indicate that they would give me about $550 in a Apple gift card. Could use that to buy my wife a new iMac or new MBP.
Thanks, Mark
