How to view current conversation on Mac?

Macbook Pro
Sometimes my wife will call me on Skype when i am in a meeting or in a very loud place.
I want to switch to a conversation with typed text and i cannot figure out how?
I can see her face and a red phone, and a few other buttons below, but no button for the conversation. Sometimes i can even hear her texting and the ding sounds.
How do you get the conversation below the video camera image?
Or how do you simply switch to text conversation?
And why is it so difficult i have to ask in a help forum?
Or why am i so stupid?

Hi Xiaowei Cheng
There are quite a few other applications that're also useful for viewing various media types on Mac OS X - including some great free tools from the Unix world - two of the best are VLC (VideoLan Client) and Mplayer OS X
I recommend grabbing those in addition to the (quite correct) suggestions above - they can often open and read things that *nothing else will (and have many other very powerful functions).
Best wishes.

  • How to get current conversation in xbap hosted by lync cwe?

    Hi, 
    I am implementing an extension of Lync conversation window(Lync cwe). Lync has an embedded browser, so I use xbap(WPF browser application) to display some information for this conversation. But I can't get the current conversation object in xbap code. 
    I know that it is easy to achieve this in silverlight application by calling LyncClient.GetHostingConversation(). But for some reasons, I can't choose silverlight.
    I found that Lync writes a key for every conversation in the browser. We can use javascript code to access the property: "external.Parameters". I also observe the method GetHostingConversation(), it uses HtmlPage.Window.Eval("external.Parameters")
    to get a key used to get the current conversation. But I don't know whether I can make use of this feature to get what I want in xbap.
    I also tried to host an silverlight application in xbap. I hope that if I write the right information to the web browser control of xbap, then the silverlight application hosted in xbap can also get the current conversation object for me. But I failed to add
    external.Parameters.
    So is it possible to get the current conversation object in xbap? And how?
    Thanks.

    George,
    thank you for your reply.
    I try  to achieve a generic host to show every document. Even documents I don't know. Your suggestion wouldn't help in case of a document with only one field.

  • How to view logs of disabled MAC addresses?

    I have a Wireless LAN Controller 4402 and WCS 7.0, and I have a few MAC addresses that are "disabled" due to policy violations. How can I view a log or a report that will show me if these MAC addresses are still attempting to connect?

    if the clinet is excluded.. then the client will not be able to connect at all... if you want to see the Logs.. i guess we see that on the TRAP logs, if not then we need to run the debug..
    lemme know if this answered your question..

  • How to view current song in MiniPlayer?

    How do you see the name of the current song that's playing when in MiniPlayer mode? If I click the button to show the "up next" list, it shows the songs that are coming up next (obviously) but how do I see the name of the current song? More importantly, why isn't the currently-playing track at the top of the "up next" list shown in some kind of different shading to give an indication that there's something different about it?
    I'm pleased that there is now only one button click required to get between the main window and the MiniPlayer, so that's an improvement at least. But why there's no way to see the name of the current song I don't quite understand. It's unfathomable, really. I know it's only 11.0, so perhaps this slipped off the radar, but seems like a very obvious thing to leave out, IMHO.

    For me, in System Preferences -> Keyboard, I had "All controls" selected at the bottom of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, instead of "Text boxes and lists only". As a result, whenever I activated the MiniPlayer, it had one of the control buttons already highlighted (generally, the Rewind button).
    iTunes behaves as if the mouse is hovering over the player in response. The solution I originally found in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20438584#20438584) was to just press Tab a few times, until the Playback controls weren't highlighted, and the track info appeared. The other option is just to turn off "All controls" tabbing in the Keyboard Preferences, though this will require you to restart iTunes to get the MiniPlayer to behave properly (otherwise, some other function will be highlighted, and the space bar won't work for Pause and Play).
    Hope this helps.

  • How to view pictures from a mac from another computer

    i just got a macbook. my friends and family always ask to send photos of me or my family to them because they always want an update. but they always end up saying that they can't open the photos(they have windows or dell).so how can they open them?

    If you're sending the photos to them via Mail, you should make sure that Edit -> Attachments -> Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments is checked. Also make sure that the photos have the appropriate extension on the end (.jpg, .tif, etc).

  • How to view pictures on my mac

    I consider myself a very technologically apt person. I can fix most my computer problems, and understand most software with an amount of ease. but i'll be honest, i never deal with pictures. I dont even own a digital camera actually. But i have all these pictures from my girlfriend that ive been starting to organize. I've put them into an iPhoto library. Great. Should i delete the pictures in the pictures folder then since they are already saved in iPhoto? It seems silly to have two sets. I don't really know what protocol is. What do most people do?I realize this is a very "noob" question, but not gonna lie, i just plain am not sure of the best way that people digitally organize their photos and such.
    I feel dirty deleting them form the pictures folder. Idk, just looking for what you guys do.
    anyway..thanks.

    The important thing to remember abuout iPhoto is that it's a database. And like any db, the data must be imported into it. By default, when you import the pics to iPhoto they are copied into the iPhoto Package File in your Pictures Folder. If you have NOT changed the default, then yes, you can trash the pics outside of the iPhoto Package File.
    Most people do this.
