How use your intergrated laptop webcam on LABVIEW

So I am having trouble acquiring an image from my intergrated webcam. LABVEW 2010 with VISION BUILDER AI, VISION ASSISTANT, the NI-IMAQdx for USB. I have access to mostly all software. I am current using a DELL XPS m1330. I believe the integrated camera is a CREATIVE LABS LAPTOP INTEGRATED WEBCAM.I have check the Measurement and Automation Explorer and the device is not in there. When I check my computer hardware under Device management(Note: not part of labview), I look under the Imaging Devices and my Intergrated Camera is installed. Should the Vision Assistant automatically detect my integrated camera. I have went hands on a LabView symposium several weeks ago and I was able to acquire an image from the intergrated web cam on thier laptop.ANY TIPS?? would help thanks....

Hi Gagandeep,
In order to acquire from a web camera you will first need Vision Acquisition Software. Ifyou have Vision Development Module you should be licensed for Vision Acquisition Software, you can download it from the link below. Next you will need to make sure your web camera is direct show compatible. Once you have the IMAQdx driver installed from the Vision Acquisition Software you should be able to see you camera within Measurement and Automation Explorer. After you can see the camera in Measurement and Automation Explorer you can start working with it in LabVIEW with the vision palette and examples.

HT5373 How do I enable a calendar subscription in my iCloud calendar? I'm using a Windows laptop (Home Office 7) and am trying to get the rugby and footfall fixtures to appear on my iCloud calendar. Thanks for your help.

How do I enable a calendar subscription in my iCloud calendar? I'm using a Windows laptop (Home Office 7) and am trying to get the rugby and footfall fixtures to appear on my iCloud calendar. Thanks for your help.

I suspect you had the same issue I did and downloaded the 64-bit version of the OpenSC libraries, but your firefox is 32-bit. You can see the opensc-pkcs11.dll in the System32 folder via windows explorer, but when you browse that directory via firefox to add the module, you are acutally being redirected to the SysWOW64 directory. Try intstalling the 32-bit OpenSC libraries, and adding the appropriate library from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory.

TS3510 how do you use your apple ID email with facetime on your laptop and your iphone?

I am trying to set up my Facetime on my laptop and it's telling me that my email is already being used (from my iphone facetime). Can you use your Apple ID email AND iphone accounts in for both FaceTimes?

That's normal. Just enter your password. You won't be able to change the Apple ID that appears there. After you sign out, and sign in with the new Apple ID, it will take the place of the old one.
If you changed your Apple ID password, enter the new password.
There are many iCloud services, and you might be confronted with the old Apple ID as you use them. You might have to sign out of each one individually, and sign in under your revised Apple ID.
I agree it's confusing. It's even more confusing if you created more than one Apple ID. That's a different circumstance from changing an Apple ID. I hope you didn't do that.

How to use your Global ready phone in Mexico.

PREVIEW
Traveling Abroad in Mexico with a Verizon Phone
How to Use a Verizon Global Ready Phone Abroad
So your planning a trip to Cancun Mexico and want internet/cell service with out paying Roaming fees to your U.S service provider here is what you need to know to have access to Facebook, Vonage, Google maps, email and other apps while abroad.
I will cover two bases one for your Global ready/Unlocked phone and the other for a personal Hotspot in your room or wherever your laptop will be this is only If you plain to purchase or have semi-free WiFi service from the Hotel.First I will cover your smartphone:
The phone I used and test this with was mostly on my Razr Maxx from Motorola from the Verizon network. This can also worked with a Iphone 4S (You need to call Verizon First before traveling) please check out this thread to use your iPhone Unlocking Iphone for International Travel
Note: you only have to do this once per-iPhone after that it is global ready as long as you own it.
For a Android phone they are Global ready phones no need to call Verizon it is already ready. Popular Android phones that are Global ready ie. Razr, Razr Maxx,plus both HD versions also, The Samsung GS3 and GS4 are Global ready.
For those who don't know, All Verizon 4G phones carry a sim card inside. They can be replace with a non-U.S carrier sim.(Make sure you insert the sim in the right way or it will not work.) If you try to use a none Verizon sim in the U.S it will be blocked by The Verizon network.
Verizon runs off of both GSM and Cdma networks but while aboard you have a option to change these features.
By pressing the menu button click System Setting> More / Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode.
Step 1.
Most important leave your phone in airplane mode once you reach your destination you can still use WiFi while your phone is in this mode. While in Mexico or any country aboard you will need a local sim from any carrier that is GSM. A prepaid sim works great, some/most company's will make you pay a fee for the sim and they will not provide any help with setting your phone up to there services.
Here are a two reasons why. #1 You did not buy it from them. #2 They really don't know your Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile phone setup, Yes it is different then the same phones they sell on their own network. So buying a prepaid sim card is your best option then paying roaming fees to your U.S carrier.
After you have you sim you purchase the Data amount you think you will need you I got 1GB which was way more then enough for 5 days. I was consistently using my phone checking in on Foursquare etc.. you will also receive a local phone number too. I used a telcel sim card In Cancun The Telcel company is located in the Hotel Zone # 2 Blvd Kukulcan Km 12.5 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Telcel is the best for 4g and internet service.
Mexico cellphone company's
http://www.telcel.com/portal/home.doTelcel: Excellent coverage, You'll have to present your passport. It took no time set up the data service. (You need to know their APN settings for data service I will cover this below. I used The Vonage app to Talk to friends and family in the U.S for free they were able to call and text me while using the Vonage app on their smart phone and toll free numbers work with Vonage but not with the Mexico number.(I will cover how to set up Vonage before your travel below). There are other cheaper company's but none with the same coverage as Telcel. It worked everywhere compared to the company below.
http://www.movistar.com.mx/Movistar: The underdog. Cheaper per-month. It is what The other phone used.I wanted to test both networks. The rate to call the USA from Mexico was only 2 pesos per minute (15 cents) but there are other options to call the U.S for free as stated above. Coverage is not great at all, but it wasn't to terrible either. It was really spotty while on the beach unlike Telcel. Traveling out of Cancun on a excursions there was next to none cellular service at all. A lot of the small towns didn't have Movistar coverage. You will end up roaming on a different network it will roam on the Telcel network instead yeah that's right I said Telcel.
Prices
Everyone wants to use their Android phone or iPhone for checking emails, translating Spanish and occasionally consulting Google Maps while lost. It is easy to setup data on your phone once you have a SIM card and money on the account. If you don't explicitly buy data you can still use data on your device, but it will be taken out of your account balance at a very expensive rate. The best thing to do is to sign up for a package deal. Movistar is $200 pesos ($15) for 1GB which expires in 1 month. If your stay is not long Telcel offers the same 1GB data service for 10 days.
To sign up for one of these packages after you have added money to your Movistar account you send a text message to a special number and money is automatically taken from your account balance to pay for your data package. For example, to sign up for 1GB over 30 days, a $200 peso plan, you send a text message to 100 that says "30 dias". $200 pesos will be removed from your Movistar account and you'll have a gig of data to use.
Telcel works in a different way but you don't not need to text any special number( if your purchase from their main Store) after you add money to your account. it is automatically applied only when you use any OXXO convenience store to refill your mobile service then you will need to text a special number which will be provided . I prefer going to Telcel company just in case of a language barrier.
Note: That all Telcel prepaid plans are currently referred to as "Amigo". Click Here for Telcel Rate Rates are in pesos not dollars
Your sim card good and can be reused up too 1 year after money runs out or time expires.
Current Exchange rate $1 USD = 13.2408 pesos.
Step 2
Lets get your internet service running :
After you have your sim and paid for data you need add the APN setting to your phone. I did have to add the APN to my Razr Maxx for 4G/3G coverage, As Same for the iPhone 4S to acquire the 3G data service. Insert your Telcel sim go to the one of the link below, click your phone software link. its free no need to pay a company which will take you minutes to do. If your phone is running any Android you click the android manual setup for Iphone the Iphone manual setup. Here is Telcel APN setting for Cancun, Mexico . Here is Movistar APN settings
Note: If you have a fully unlocked smartphone that is not locked to any specific carrier in the United States, Canada or any other country you may not have to enter the APN setting manually.
How to Call and Text to the U.S and Receive Calls and Text from the U.S while abroad at no Charge.
I have used Vonage for a while to me its the best. I have used on trips to Europe and it has always work without any problems.
When setting up Vonage you must do it before your trip abroad because it will asked for your current U.S number for authorization and activation this number will not change once you use a foreign sim since your account is linked to your U.S number not your carrier.
You can add money to your Vonage account if you are planing on calling land lines or a smartphone with out the Vonage app attached to that smartphone number. (I notice a few times I used Vonage from Mexico to call a mobile phone that did not have Vonage, I was able to call them for free, which was a bonus). You can Call, send SMS and MMS threw Vonage at no additional charge to any smartphone with the Vonage app.
There are other apps out there that do work the same way as Vonage. Viber, Call and Text any Viber user for free. Whatsapp a texting app only no calling is available (yet).
These apps will use the data service you have purchase while abroad or if you have WiFi enable on your phone if WiFi is available they will use the WiFi Data instead of Cellular Data. Almost every Hotel in Cancun makes you pay for WiFi. If you are at a hotel that offers free WiFi you are in luck but the service may be spotty in some areas in your hotel.
Note to reader: The Hotspot for Verizon Wireless did not work it will look for Verizon servers. I will update this article when I find a Hotspot for Telcel. I also know The Foxfi app did not work either even the paid version.
Thanks for reading !!
Enjoy your trip.

How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

HELP !!!I want to give my old apple to my girlfriend, SO SHE CAN PLUG IN HER NEW IPHONE, CREATE AN APPLE ID AND USE MY OLD LAPTOP TO DOWNLOAD itunes music, but im having trouble deautherizing it, and making her the OWNER, IF you get my drift, how to i mak

Hi
I have a new powerbook and want to give my girlfriend my old G4 power book, she has a new iphone 5s, and wants to create a new itunes/apple id. When i try to de authorize the G4 and sign in with her new apple ID it says bad password, how can i release the G4 from my cluster of authorized apples and make her the owner so she can download music and more importantly sync her music with her phone, she only has 3 songs on her iphone, and loaded all her CD's into the g4 but cant sync, im no dummy and this shouldnt be hard, but its driving me crazy!!!!!!
thx u so much for your time heeeellppppp.

Perhaps, as we have the same music tastes, for now i should just authorize her phone to my power book just to sync music, not pics, contacts etc? I'd hate to overright her contacts etc lol????

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

How do you test your new laptops?

To the gurus or people who have researched this question: How do you test your new laptops?
When you get a new laptop, what do you do to test it?
My X1Carbon might arrive in a couple weeks, and reading about all the failures and DOAs is scary. So assuming mine is not simply DOA, how do you shake out the less obvious or more obscure problems?
I did search for this info before posting. One other person asked the question,
>> Would appreciate advice re optimal set-up and what testing/diagnostics to do to determine if ther...
but no one answered.

With testing I start with the basics and work my way to the harder stuff.
Inspect the external condition of the machine.
Boot and enter the BIOS before Windows. Review settings then power off.
Boot from Acronis True Image Home backup/recovery DVD and clone HDD or SSD and thus the factory image before it's ever booted to Windows.
Boot to Windows and look carefully at the Lenovo factory image and try to get an understanding for the Lenovo software and why it is there. This does not include the other software from Microsoft, Google, etc.
Create Lenovo Factory Image DVD set with Rescue and Recovery. Throw disk set in the box or put on the shelf in case the machine is ever re-sold.
Test all of the ports - I test every port on the machine for my expected usage. For instance, in the case of the X1 Carbon I would confirm the mini DisplayPort connection works correctly with an external LCD panel. If the machine had a IEEE firewire port or something, test that. Test the USB 3.0 ports with a known working external external enclosure and verify transfer speeds.
Test the SSD speed with CrystalDiskMark, ATTO and AS Disk Benchmark software to get a good overview of the performance.
Install HWiNFO and look carefully at the components. Observe turbo boosting, thermals and fan RPM over the course of a few days for battery and AC power.
Do at least one full battery discharge and recharge. Observe the cycle and details are being properly displayed and recorded in Lenovo Power Manager.
Download all software and drivers from support.lenovo.com for the model being tested. Confirm visually you have all the core components needed. Core includes the drivers, power management driver, Power Manager, hotkeys, etc.
Flatten the machine and install Windows or Linux from scratch. Install drivers and software.
Re-test ports and confirm the machine is working properly.
Benchmark the SSD again. Confirm no change.
Install HWiNFO and confirm turbo, thermals and fan speeds are still proper.
Install core applications and test them. There may be core features in Windows that also need to be installed and tested. For instance, Windows 8 Hyper-V for virtualization.
Connect any external devices you expect to use and test them. For instance, video cameras, smartphones, mp3 players, digital cameras, printers, USB docks, etc.
Do several battery tests with your typical applications and behavior. The goal here is to simulate how the machine will be used in your day-to-day setting or travel scenarios. I usually do at least three tests. This can be rather time consuming with long battery life machines so I get a lot of other testing out of the way first.
By the time you get to this point, if you haven't hit any major roadblocks you'll start to have a good feel for the machine, and if it is going to be a keeper or not. The assumption here is that during this timeframe you have been observing the screen, keyboard, and trackpad performance to see if it's to your liking. The other assumption is that you are using the machine and applications in the scenarios you are purchasing it for.
I don't run synthetic benchmarks. I prefer to test a machine against the scenarios I expect to use it with. I spend most of the first week making this assessment. If any major hardware defects are present, the machine is automatically returned. I do not repair machines just received. No exceptions.
Week 2 is for ironing out any minor issues and assessing if the machine meets the requirements for the scenarios it will support. If it does, it is kept. If it does not, it is returned. This week includes subjective and objective input. You have to weigh the pros and cons for a machine against your priorities. It is rare that a machine is perfect so you have to decide the ROI for the machine. Service and Support must be considered so week two might include a call to support for any unresolved issues. Don't discount the service you receive during this period.
After week two, you are likely right on top of the last day to return a Lenovo machine. The return period is 21 days from the invoice date (I believe), not the day the machine is received so make sure you are well aware of it. After 21 days, the machine is yours for good unless you sell it. Decision time.
Good luck.

How to use video camer as Webcam?

I have a Sony PD150 and want to use it as a webcam. Does anybody know how to do this? Can this be accomplished with some free software?
Thanks
chephoto

Plug the camera into the mac via firewire. Put the camera into camera mode - as opposed to VCR mode.
Open iChat. It should recognize any firewire input videocamera. iSight is firewire.
The problem you will have, depending on your application, is that after being in standby mode for a while, with no action, will force to camera to sleep. Maybe you can tweak this in the PD150 though and force it to supress the sleep mode. Don't know.
But you've already got everything you need - hardware/software related. Just a matter of whether or not the potential quirks can be eliminated/dealt with.
EDIT: PS - Welcome to the forum....

How to use Nokia PC Connectivity API in labview?

I wish I could use the camera on my Nokia
phone in my labview project, in this case the AT command doesn’t apply. I guess
Nokia_PC_Connectivity_API_3.2 (consist of LIB files and header files) might be useful, but I don’t know how to load a static
library in Labview. Do I have to write a
C program first before labview could use those API function? Or is there a
simple way to control my nokia phone?
Would be grateful if anyone could help!

It supports DLL(*.dll) only, not LIB(*.lib). I need LIB interface.
Possible options are,
1) to make a new DLL calling LIB by using C/C++ complier (ex. visual c), then use "Call Library Function Node",
2) to generate new c source code calling external LIB, then using CIN(Code Interface Node).
They looked available, but NI has addressed that either one won't work, unless original code desinger makes a new clean dll.
Do you have another idea?
Don't go the CIN route! They are legacy technology and not supported anymore on all LabVIEW platforms. The shared library (Call Library Node) interface is the way to go nowadays.
And I don't understand your second last sentence. A lib while having the same file ending is not a standard format as its internal layout and format depends highly on the compiler that was used. So there is no way NI could make a general purpose interface node to interface directly to lib files. It is even so bad that a lib created with one comiler can not usually be used with a different compiler.

How to generate and use Matlab(R2007) .dll's in Labview

Is there a step-by-step example on how to generate and use Matlab(R2007) .dll's in Labview.
Our experimenal hardware is LabView-controlled and we want to pass
images/2d intensity arrays to a more complex matlab program that will
return an array of extracted data which we want to use in LabView again.
Thank you
Carsten

I recommend having a wrapper created around the matlab dll that converts the datatypes for you. There is a lot of fooling around with pointers involved which is very difficult in LabVIEW. btw, this got much more complicated after Matlab 7. Essentially, you need to convert your inputs into mxArrays, and then add those mxArrays to an mxArray list that you pass by pointer into the matlab dll. You also need to create a mxArray list for the outputs from the dll which you will need to extract your data out of before converting it back into a LabVIEW supported datatype. It's a big hassle. We do this pretty often, but we have created a c library that handles all the conversions, so it is feasible for us. Unfortunately, I can't share the library, but hopefully this information will help you get where you want to be.
Like I said, it would be easier if you can just get a c developer to write a wrapper for you to keep it simple in LabVIEW. Alternatively, you might try getting your m-code to work in Mathscript.

I loaded music on my nano with my old laptop. now using a new laptop and want to load music on my nano but it wants to delete all song. How can I load new music frmo new laptop onto my nano and keep existing songs?

Import the music on the external HD into iTunes. If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences. Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.

How can i use a second external webcam on my MacBook Air 11

How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?
Are there specific compatible webcams?
Can both cams be use at same time?
How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?
Thanks for any tips.

paolo@spring wrote: How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?...
Plug it in and launch the app you will use to run it.
paolo@spring wrote: ...Are there specific compatible webcams?...
Yes. In general, any current USB model (will meet the "UVC" standard) can work on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or newer.
More specifically:
(1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam. Some examples of current compatible cams are described at http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
(2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
(3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams. I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
paolo@spring wrote:... Can both cams be use at same time?...
Multiple cameras can be connected at one time, but asking your Mac to actually use (capture and process) more than one video stream at a time might cause processor and data bus capacity problems. The normal method is to connect your cameras and switch between them as needed, actually using only one at a time.
paolo@spring wrote:... How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?...
The software you use to operate the cameras controls that. For more info, start with the answer in this topic link.
