Is there a way to make Firewire iSight work with USB apps?

I am awaiting attival of my new iSight on Monday and I was beginning to wonder if there is some software or a trick you can use to get other chat programs to look at the firewire port instead of USB to enable the programs to see the iSight as a viable cam to use in those programs, or am I limited to using iChat when videoconferencing? I have the iChat for USB software that allows my Piece-Of-S#@% Kensington to work in iChat—making it recognize a USB cam as opposed to looking at the firewire port. Is there an equivalent out there that fools the other chat programs into looking at Firewire instead of USB?

OK, if I read you correctly, these programs such as Yahoo, etc. will look wherever they can to find the cam then? I wondered if they just looked to see if there was something plugged into a USB slot it could identify as a cam and if it didn't see anything there, I wasn't sure if it would look to the firewire port as well. I guess I'll know more when the cam gets here and I try it out, but from what you said they should work as well. 10:30 a.m. estimated arrival time. I'm pretty excited!

Is there a way to make a flip book with the InDesin version contained in Creative Cloud?

Is there a way to create a flip book with the InDesign version contained in Creative Cloud?

InDesign is the same in Creative Cloud as it is as a standalone producate and it's the same as the one contained in any bundles that include it. The exception being that you have access to both the Mac and PC versions purchasing via the subscription model (Creative Cloud).
I have not created a flip book in InDesign, but if InDesign is capable of doing it, then InDesign as purchased apart of the Creative Cloud, is capable of it.
Download the demo of InDesign CS6 to see. If you purchase a Creative Cloud account later on, you don't need to reinstall, just authorize by logging into your Adobe account.

Is there a way to make internet connections work faster?

My wife has a Macbook and I have the MB Air and we are both running off Time Capsule. Many times when we are both using the internet it becomes a crawl, especially if TC is backing up or we are trying to use Mail or trying to view something on a web site.
I have seen some software out there that claims to speed things up and makes the connection work more efficiently. Does anyone have experience with this? The one recommended to me was IPNetrouterX which has good reviews but is very expensive.
Thanks
Richard

It's a bandwidth issue - the size of the pipe, which you cannot work around. if your network is 100 Mb/s and you have three equal users, each gets about 33 Mb/s. You can't get more out of a network than you put in. The only solution is more bandwidth, a larger pipe. A 1 Gb/s network will be faster if yours is 100 Mb/s.
You can use a 1 Gb network if all your devices support that speed. Of course that will be your LAN or WAN speed. The speed to the internet is dependent on the bandwidth your ISP is providing you.
Don't confuse internet speed with local network speed. Your "internet" speed is constant, it's the sharing that is slowing the LAN.

Is there a way to make the iTouch compatible with Win2k?

Recently I purchased the iTouch and obviously I was really excited and happy, but, of course, it doesn't work with my computer. I have a Windows 2000 home computer, and I don't understand why the iTouch can't work with it. My question is that are there more options than just upgrading to XP, buying a Mac, or returning the iTouch?

as per the windows system requirements for the ipod touch your options are as follows
Windows system requirements
PC with USB 2.0 port
Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
iTunes 7.4 or later6
Its either Vista or XP only. If you have neither and cant upgrade then you might have to return the touch. These requirements are based on specs that apple developed there is no way around these specs. You might look into another mp3 player that is compatible with the Win 2k

Is there a way to make a photo book with my iPad (new generation )

I have a number (1000's!) of pictures edited on iPhoto. Is there a way to create a photo book ( not a web book, but one that sit on your table) using the iPad iPhoto app? Can I transfer the edited version of the photos to a Computer that uses Windows?
Any advice / suggestions would be appreciated.

If they no longer show up in iCloud (www.icloud.com), unfortunately, no. They are gone.
It is possible, if you have a back up either phone (iCloud or iTunes), they may be there and could be retrieved by restoring using the back up, but I am not 100% sure of that.

Is there any way of getting Facetime to work with windows?

I've just used Facetime for the first time and it worked like a dream. Is there any way Facetime can be used to phone someone with a PC using
Windows?

No, FaceTime uses a proprietary communications protocol that is incapatable with Windows.

Time Machine - is there any way to allow it to work with the MacBook Air 2011 lid closed?

When the Air sleeps, Time Machine stops (although it does pick up immediately after the machine wakes). I had been leaving it on overnight, but Applecare techs tell me there's no need for that, as there are no utilities running at night, contrary to what I'd seen elsewhere.
The risk is that I'll miss the last backup. Is there any way around the problem, other than calling a manual backup and waiting for it?
This is Lion.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't precise enough. I'm concerned about this (remotely likely) situation:
10:15 p.m., TM backs up, next backup scheduled for 11:15 p.m.
11:10, I put the machine to sleep for the night. Previous backup 55 minutes ago, numerous files changed or added during that time.
7:30 a.m. next day, SSD crashes during wakeup. The last 55 minutes of operation have not been saved to the USB hard drive.
Is there an automatic way to avoid that gap in the backup?

Is there any way to get a remote working with my powerbook?

Hey guys,
I'm jealous of my friends with MacBook Pros ;D, and would really like to control the volume and tracks of iTunes with a remote. Is there any way to add one?
Thanks!

Is there a way to get PSE to work with my scanner in Mac OS Lion

I recently baught a new Mac mini. So, now I must work in Mac OS Lion. However, I can't seem to get Photoshop Elements to work with my Epson Stylus CX5000 all-in-one. I am beginning to get the impression that Adobe has not provided an intel based Mac OS plugin to allow their applications to directly access scanners. Is this the case? If so, what can I do to get PSE to access my scanner?

Try Vue Scan 9 which is designed to run old hardware on a new OS or third party applications. There is a free trial.

MFC - is there any way, to make the MFC work on Mac OS X

Hello,
I'm new to programming on Mac OS X. And I just want to know, if there is a way to compile the MFC (M$ Foundation Classes) for OS X?
Or is there any other possibility to use them?
I searched in different Forums, asked Mr Google, but didn't find a good answer.
Well, I didn't find a positive answer...
Maybe someone here, has any idea about it or a hint, that can help. A simple NO is not enough...
THX tobschwe

Well, the last time I looked, the underlying MFC concepts aren't totally foreign to OS X. You could probably (with SUBSTANTIAL effort) write a package that presents the MFC API, but implements it in Cocoa. But that's what you'd have to do, because Cocoa has none of the underlying library functions used by MFC's Windows implementation, and the Cocoa implementations of the underlying concepts and the relationships between them vary in subtle ways from the Windows implementations.
Which is why wise men simply say "NO".

I think you posted this on the wrong forum, you can make collapsible panels in flash but not with CSS.

Why does it say instal next to the apps I have deleted in the app store and is there any way to make them go away with out a computer

.

The app store lists the app as "Install" rather than with a price to indicate that you can download it again without charge if you change your mind. It is not possible to make something in the app store go away. Why do you want to?

HT4641 Is there any way to make .rtf files work?

I didn't notice the lack of .rtf support when I bought it (urgh!), which would make this app perfect for my needs, as half my files are .rtf and I have to actively convert each file one at a time into doc or docx if I want to use them on my ipad 2, and then back again if I want to upload them to the group that prefers .rtf files. Pain-staking process, that. This simple change would be a great feature for an update.

What kind of parental controls are you talking about? You have full control over standard accounts on your Mac by using the Parental Controls system preference.
If you're concerned that a child will try to circumvent the controls by changing the admin password using the installation disk, then you can certainly set an EFI password. Follow these instructions.

Is there any way to make movies on iMovie with my cannon t2i?

i am having trouble importing t2i clips to my macbook pro. all that pops up is iphoto. help?

You do it 10.0.1 in much the same way you did in iMovie version 9. You use Picture-in-Picture.
