IChat and the HD FaceTime Camera

Does iChat video chatting support the HD FaceTime camera in the new Sandy Bridge iMacs?

Hi,
I know that iChat 5 (and earlier versions) support (Use) a max pic resolution of 640 X 480 pic. (0.3Mp)
This is independent of the fact that My MacBook Pro comes with a version one camera (internal iSight) and later models and things like iMacs and Screen that come later have version numbers to at least 4.1.
Some of these later versions are capable of 1.3Mp pictures but iChat still only uses (0.3) of that.
Sandy Bridge is the term used for the Processor rather that the Camera although that does seem to be being called the Face Time Camera rather than the Internal iSight.
Face Time for Mac in the Beta and the first release is capable of Landscape views where as iChat cannot.
iMovie and Quicktime X can make use of the full resolution of the camera when recording.
I know of one Buddy of mine who has a newer Laptop who may be able to answer this from personal experience (but he does not appear to have been sending me HD 16:9 formatted pics in iChat)
Lion and iChat 6 may differ.

  • The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

    the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

    Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

    What question?
    What did you try?
    Was the device connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular data?
    Do you really want help?  If so, stop being vague and provide some details.

  • I have purchased the ESO 60Da and the manual that came with it is for the 60D.

    I have the EOS 60Da and the manual that came with the camera is for the 60 D I need a source in info on how to use the camera specifically for astro photography.  I know absolutely nothing about this.  My telescope is the Meade RCX 400 16" and I live in Belize in Central America

    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_cameras/eos_60d...
    Edit: Ok, looks like that doesn't really supply any real information.  I'd assume the camera works the same as the 60D, but providing information on how to connect various third-party telescopes is kind of outside the scope of Canon documentation.

  • Im going to go to apple to show my phone that my wi-fi wasnt working and now iv droped my phone and the hole screen came out, its not mashed it just came out, but work, so now im worried apple my wont take care of it

    im going to go to apple to show my phone that my wi-fi wasnt working and now iv droped my phone and the hole screen came out, its not smashed it just came out, butstill works, so now im worried apple my wont take care of it, what will they do ??  it was a bran new phone

    You are correct to worry. There is no way for Apple to know if the wifi problem was before or after the drop. If you have Apple Care +, you can get a replacement device for a deductible. If not, user damage is not covered under the warranty or regular Apple Care. You would need to see if they will repair the screen (at your cost), or if you would have to purchase an out of warranty replacement.

  • Florescent lights and the ipad 2 cameras

    is it normal for the ipad 2, because of the cheap cameras they gave me (like the front camera) to display random blobs of color when on facetime
    near fluorescent lights? i don't see it searching the forums and its soemthing that does not show up on the iphone 4, which has better cameras
    i dont see the fluorescent light problem when using camera most of the time, unless its set to record, with no clip recording.
    also is there an official fix for the light bleeding issue for the ipad 2

    Many people have posted pictures taken under fluorescent lighting with color blobs.  Fluorescent lighting is tricky to begin with.  And, the camera built into the iPad is not high quality.  It really wasn't intended to be a digital camera.  The real reason for the camera is for FaceTime.  As to the bleeding issue (something neither of my two iPads suffer), if you find it disturbing, you should make an appointment with your local Genius Bar at the Apple store and they will likely offer a replacement unit.

  • Can I use Skype with a macbook air and the face time camera

    I am an Imac user and learning this new macbook air. I have face time on this and am wondering if I can use skype with the facetime camera of if I need to add a remote web cam? I am not seeing the video function in skype.

    I've used mine a few times within Skype. No issues.
    The FT camera is suitable for any application requiring a camera, notwithstanding the "not so hot" resolution of the built-in camera on the MBA.
    Check the Audio/Video tab within Skype Preferences to select the built-in camera.

  • I can't get into my yahoo bookmarks. I have spent time with AT&T and the conclusion they came to is that it may be a problem with Firefox and yahoo. Help please

    I am using a HP Laptop NOT mobile device. Every time I try to go into my YAHOO bookmarks it asks me to sign in which I do to no avail. AT&T came to the conclusion it may be that Firefox and Yahoo are not working together. I just downloaded both the latest versions of Firefox and the yahoo toolbar again to no avail. Is there something with Firefox that is preventing me from getting into my yahoo bookmarks??

    It's really up to you how often you want to clear history. If you have a large hard drive, Firefox may save history for a year or more...

    I have an external hard drive that I used with my mini mac.  I want to use it on my MacBookPro.  I plugged it in found it on my computer, it flashes seemed okay until it tipped over and came unplugged to  the computer.  I set it back up turned it on and the grren light sometimes flashes.  I read an article that said I needed to format the drive, I followed instructions and did that.  I will download tomorrow my pictures.
    Question
    How do I know if this is working
    does it record everything on your computer?
    How do I see what is there?  on the drive
    confused please direct me to help
    thanks
    kathy

    it may be very basic but I still don't get it,   the instructions are basic too so I'm sure I'm missing some thing here.i don't know how to copy  data and copy it back
    I don't see any indicaters  to do so.  I'll try again, , it's on a laptop and I don't want it connected all the time, just to secure some images.
    how  do i copyu...
    maybe I'll try a 'zip' drive instead?? But I don't understand them either, hard to be a dunce.
    and by the way, my computer has been freezing up on me lately had to turn it off and on, what have i done to it!!
    I just connected it again and it shows as a number22but nothing happens when I click on it...shouldn't something happen here? It seems to be empty as well as it should since I followed instructions on formatting.  so what now? 
    This is trying your patience I'm sure,you may just forget about helping me I just don't have a clue
    but  if you can help, I am listening.

  • Some of the time the back button is greyed out when i have clicked on a new link. It's not a new window or tab, and the page I came from is not even in my history!

    At first I thought I had unknowingly gone to a new tab or window, but that's not it. I haven't ruled out that I have completely lost my mind, but I'm really hoping that's not the problem, although with win 7 that seems more and more likely all the time. It seems to happen at random. I tired holding down or right clicking the back button but there is nothing. The fact that the page I came from is gone from the history seems really strange.
    Sorry for the duplicate post, see this topic: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/807937

    This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Worlds Largest Photo and the Worlds Largest Camera...

    A friend of mine sent me the link for this. The photo (1 single photo)
    measures 28 feet by 108 feet. The camera they used to take this shot was an

    HAVE A YOODLE...RELAX.... WELCOME TO THE LOUNGE !
    its beer thirty... !!! yipee !!!!!
    ( somethings wrong with my zoom setting or something re: type size and font etc... oh dear.... nothing looks quite normal )
    of course it could be the pain killer medicine I'm taking and the beer....
    Anyway...here's an interesting tidbit of info re: a new scientific discovery about car accidents and people being high on pot....
    This study came about due to the new medical pot stuff going on ( legalized ) and the resultant car crashes that apparently happen if drivers on medical pot ( especially mixed with drinking beers etc )...
    It sorta makes you wonder ...
    kinda makes you wonder What the newspaper reporter was smoking... to come to this conclusion so late in the game...
    http://yourlife.usatoday.com/health/story/2011-10-14/Pot-smoking-may-more-than-double-cras h-risk/50774786/1?csp=hf
    excerpt ===========drivers smoking pot may increase risk of car accident ====
    Overall, the risk of a crash was almost 2.7 times higher among marijuana users than non-users, the authors found. And the response was dose-specific, the authors said. That is, the more marijuana smoked -- in terms of frequency and potency -- the greater the likelihood of a crash.
    =============
    OK... I am through keeping everyone abreast of my internet studies today... and will now drink more BEERS and take another vicadin ( sp ? ) due to oral surgery pain ...and DONT WORRY... I AM NOT WALKING LET ALONE DRIVING !!!!

  • So I have an iPhone 4s, and the main/rear camera is cracked.

    Okay so here is the story, I have a black otter box that I bought at the same time I purchased my iPhone 4s back in February. Today I dropped my phone, I have done so many of times (I am a huge klutz) hence the investment in the otterbox, anyway's back to my story. My phone landed face down cool I know it was protected and my screen wasn't going to be cracked, but you always get that oh snap, and heart dropping feeling when this happens. Well it seems that out of the millions of times my phone has been dropped (I have a three year old) Today did in my rear camera screen.. Yeah I know makes no sense fell face flat with an otterbox and my main/rear camera screen has crack, along with going "wonky" when turned upside down. My question is, is this covered in my warrenty and will I be able to get it fixed or will I have to replace the whole entire phone? This is my first iPhone so I'm not sure how the processes for these type of things for apple products go.Picture A. Cracked Camera screen.
    Picture B. Wonky lines when phone was upside down.

    Just to clarify, AppleCare doesn't cover damage.  Only AppleCare Plus covers damange (see http://store.apple.com/us/product/S4575LL/A).  To purchase an out of warranty replacement, back up your phone and make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately from your iPhone backup (such as by syncing them with iCloud: Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On).
