Is there a Video eMail program for the eMac?

I have an external video camera hooked up to my eMac and would like to use it for Video Emails. On the PC's there are several free programs, including iGoogle and MS Messenger that allow this. Yet when I try to use them on the eMac, they state they aren't compatible with PowerPC chips, only Intel-based MACs. I've searched the internet for "Free Video Email for MAC" but failed to find anything that would work on the eMac. Several would work only with iSight, which I don't have.

(1) Perhaps you mean video chat or conference rather than video email? I no longer use a PC, but I could not see how either iGoogle or MS Messenger offers Video Email.
If you really want to send video email, all you need an OS X app that can capture a video clip. You can attach those saved clips to your email. If this is what you want to do, you likely already have an app that can capture video if your camera is compatible with your eMac.
However, if you do not already know which app you want to use to capture your video clips, take a look at this page for some candidate apps you can consider:
  http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
If you already have Apple's iMovie, QuickTime Pro, or Photo Booth, any of them can capture video for emailing provided that your camera is compatible with the app and Mac OS you are using. Other apps in the linked list might be compatible with your cameras, so, if your camera is not supported with the software you have, you may want to take a look at the system requirements and compatibility info for some of the other apps that can capture movie/video clips.
(2) If your external video camera is either Firewire or a "UVC" device, and, if your eMac 1.25Ghz PowerPC G4 is one of those listed in this page
  http://support.apple.com/kb/SP44
your camera should work with your Mac OS X (10.5.8) without need for any driver software.
(3) If you cannot make the desired applications work with your camera, and, if your camera is one of those listed as a "should work" in
  http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php
the macam driver you can download from the links there may let you use your camera with your existing system.
(4) If your camera is not compatible with both the version of OS X and the applications you use, you may want to consider a different camera. For more info see:
  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
(5) If I have misunderstood, when you post back, please give the specifics of which camera you want to use and what app you want to use with your video camera.

  • What a good email program for the Mac?

    I can't use Mac mail anymore because Comcast (or somebody) has blocked some ports and Comcast can't tell me what the problem is. The problem seems to be with ingoing and outgoing ports but Comcast no longer shows an ougoing port in preferences so I can't change it. I've been using Comcast's email and it's not an option. It's too ugly and unstable.
    So my question is....can some of you give me your opinions as to a good free user-friendly email client and tell me why you like it? Email is something I use real often and would like a nice program to work with.

    Strangely, Comcast acted as if the Outgoing ports don't exist any more. I kept asking what the number of the port was and the Comcast person kept sidetracking me. It doesn't appear in preferences. I don't think they know anything about other email clients and can't answer our questions. I don't know why email has to be such a problem. I liked Mac mail well enough but just can't get it to work any more.
    I don't know how to answer your questions and apologize for that but I do appreciate your trying to help me.

  • Is there a affordable AutoCAD program for the Mac?

    I used TurboCad on my old PC which worked well with the MicroStation program the FAA uses. I tried another version on my MacBook Pro, but it seems to have too many quirks and is difficult to use. I really need a program that simply operates in the 2D environment with the ability to convert .dwg, .dgn, and .dxf file formats to .pdf. I have been unsuccessful in finding any online, unless I am not wording the searches correctly in the MacWorld. If anyone is familiar with using a MAC for engineering purposes, please advise. Thanks!

    These are or should be similar to what you are using on the PC.

  • There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panel

    I just installed Window 7 professional in place of Windows 7 Ultimate RC to which I subscribed. I was not pleased to do a clean install as opposed to an upgrade and was not informed about it.
    When I reinstalled Office 2007, my outlook does not work, although exchange on the web works. I get the following error message:
    There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panel 

    Louis,
    This issue may occur if the Outlook registry key is corrupted. When other programs try to use the Outlook Simple MAPI interface, they cannot retrieve the required information from the registry.
    You must first remove the corrupted Outlook registry key, and then perform a Detect and Repair operation to have Outlook rebuild the key. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, and then click Run.
    In the Open box, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
    In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
    Select the subkey, and then press DELETE.
    Click Yes.
    Quit Registry Editor.
    Start Outlook.
    On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
    Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.
    Important: Above section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    322756  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
    Hope above information helps.

    Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

    Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
    Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
    I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox

  • There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email progra

    I am operating on Windows 8 and using Adobe Reader XL (11.0.03) and get the following message when I open the a file
    There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel
    I went to Edit - Preferences - Email Accounts - and added a gmail account but it is still happening!

    I'm also getting this message from Adobe Reader XI when opening files from Windows Explorer. OS is Windows 7.
    I'm not trying to perform any email action, is there a way to disable this annoying popup?
    Edit: After some googling, it looks related to this: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/freeze-or-error-no-email.html
    This is pretty poor if users can't disable this notification without installing a separate, unnecessary program.

  • Print program for the smartform for selecting the output type (email/fax)

    Hi All,
    Requirement :I have to create a print program for the smartform where the output type may be print out,email or fax ,so i need to put the condition for selecting the output type (like printout,email,fax).
    can any body please let me know how  to put the condition for selecting the desired  output type ?
    Thanks in advance
    Rahul

    Hi
    It is not the output type that has to be changed
    it is the MEDIUM which you have to change and configure
    for printout medium is 1
    for FAX medium is 2
    for MAIL it is 7.
    so instead of printout change the medium to 2 or 7 for the same output type and attach to the same driver program and smartform/form.

    No, it is asking you to register with your Amazon user id and password. Your Apple ID won't work.

  • Are there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the Mac?

    Is there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the iMac and MacBrook Pro running OS 10.6.7?

    as has been said, you need no AV on your Mac. more info here: Mac Virus/Malware Info.
    if, however, you exchange files with windows users on a regular basis, you might want to install ClamXav lest you pass an infected file on without realizing it.

  • Predictive typing program for the Mac?

    Has anyone heard of a predictive typing program for the Mac?
    I am looking for a computer program for typing that "guesses" what word you want based on the first few letters. I have trouble typing because of physical disabilities. Voice recognition is a no go (I also have trouble with my voice).
    I know cell phones have this for texting, but I've never seen it for a regular computer. An application I could type in right on my Mac, then cut and paste to other applications like Word, email, etc. Apparently there is a program called "Penfriend" for the PC that does exactly this, but I'm having trouble finding anything Mac-compatible.
    Has anyone heard of a company that provides this kind of software? Any ideas on which discussion board might know?
    I have a 2006 Macbook Pro.
    Grateful for any help!

    Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for a "good arm" day to start typing!
    Were you using the mouse to select words? You can set
    hotkeys so you can do it with the keyboard if that
    would be easier - you can use a sequence like
    option-1,option-2, etc., or whatever else you can
    type easily.
    I tried both selecting words with the mouse, and with the coded numbers on the keyboard... I think this may be a problem for me with any predictive typing program, the whole needing-to-pick-up-your-hand thing. KeyStrokes seems about as good as you're going to get (honestly, all those languages, like magic). Maybe with a different keyboard, if I can place the numbers closer to the letters. I'll keep trying.
    There's no users group that I know about. I keep
    meaning to start a Yahoo list for OS X users who use
    assistive tech, but I have so many things that I want
    to do *wry grin* Maybe one day...
    That's a great idea -- I know there must be something out there, but I've mostly found disease-specific boards (ALS, etc.).

  • Is there An anti-virus program for a Mac Book Pro

    Is there an ant-virus program for a Mac Book Pro?

    YES, there is. It is built into Mac OS X. All you need to do to use it is keep Mac OS X up-to-date.
    This built-in Anti-Virus works better and is far less obtrusive than any third-party stuff you can add on. Most of the third-party anti-Virus add-ons are JUNK.
    But Viruses, while they cannot be ignored, are actually quite rare on the Mac. If you have a flashy anti-Virus scan that reminds you it is there by slowing down your Mac and visibly scanning things, you can lull yourself into thinking you are protected, but you are NOT!
    A much more serious problem is malware, and most malware requires you to help (or at least be complicit) to get onto your Mac. Nothing can replace your constant Vigilance. They ARE out to get you, and steal your financial data, and take over your Mac.
    Don't click on ANY links sent to you in emails.
    Don't visit Torrent sites, and don't download software from third-party sites.
    Don't download "players" from the same site that is providing the content.
    No one can tell whether your Mac is infected with anything from outside your Mac. This is ALWAYS a scam.
    You have not won a contest you did not enter. You should never have to pay to collect your prize.
    Providing your banking information to anyone (to send you money) is an invitation for them to empty that account and disappear.

  • Audio/Video sync program for Power PC G5

    Greetings to ALL,  I am attempting to determine if there is a audio/video sync program for my PPC G5 running 10.5.8?
    Suggestions would be great because if I cannot locate a program I am at the end of the road for this little project.
    Working with a Nikon D7000 and RODE Pro Mic and looking to get the Tascam DR 100MkII recorder if I can figure out how to get things to jell.
    Thank You, pc

    Even if syncing directly is not practical, iTunes can manage audio files, has many organization features for audio, such as playlists and folders of playlist, and tags that can be applied to multiple audio and video files are supported by it.   MPEG4Streamclip offfers a variety of conversion tools that are available for PowerPC for video and will bring videos to work with iTunes.  H.264 MPEG4s are the best for iTunes.
    And http://www.lemkesoft.com/ GraphicConverter lets you browse Finder folders, which you can tag by month, and year, and even time, in a hierarchy that makes sure you don't do any duplication.   Since the Nikon D7000 does write to standard SD cards, you just need a Mac OS X 10.5 supporting SD card reader.  Many SansDisk readers supports it.

    Hi All.
    I have this request.
    BODS 3.1 : How to trigger an email alert for the jobs on BODS server ?
    We have jobs scheduled on BODS running smoothly and absolutely fine.
    But to check, i am logging into the admin console and check for the jobs status.
    I would like to have an email to be received from BODS after each job is finished.
    It could succuessful. Or it could fail.
    Whatsoever, i wish to receive an email alert as soon as a job is finished.
    Can anyone advise me as to whether this could be made possible.
    And if yes, how this could be done.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    In BOE CMC / for webi / schedule / we find an option to send email for a job success or a job failure.
    Is there any option similar to that in BODS ?
    Also would like to know :
    how to use the smtp_to or mail_to functions ?
    how to set up the smtp server for this ?
    thanks

    Hi.
    Since am new to this BODS. I need some help.
    I already have many jobs which are running absolutely fine.
    And when a job runs, and finishes, am able to see the trace saying
    e.g. :
    Job_abc is completed successfully.
    We got the smtp service activated for our test server.
    and we hae a group email id.
    I have put the details of the smtp server / ip address / and said apply restarted.
    The i created a simple test script as below :
    print (' Before email ' );
    smtp_to('abc@company_name.com', 'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has FAILED',
    ' the job has failed', 0, 0);
    print('After Email ');
    It does send a email to as per smtp_to whatever email is specified.
    But how to differentiate between a job success
    And a job which has failed.
    I wish to have a mail which says on the subject :
    'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has completed successfully'
    ==> IF it is a success
    OR
    'Job ' || job_name() ||' on ' || host_name() || ' has failed'
    ==> if it has failed
    How to make the system identify, whether
    to send a success message or a error message whatever
    Could anyone advise.
    thanks
