How you select which camera to use depends on which application you are using to operate your iSight. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your iSights. In that case, consider the suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090  You may want keep your MBP's cover open while testing to ensure that both cameras are possible choices.
This choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, when my external iSight was disconnected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting your LED Display's iSight should allow you to choose either camera.
iMove 8 (from iLife '09) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
  http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth is a different matter in 10.6. Use the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
(4) For other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

  • "From" presence not displaying in Outlook 2010

    I've been working on a software product aiming presence and im integration with Microsoft Outlook using IMessenger API.
    Integration works as expected with Outlook 2013. However, the presence indicator of the
    "from" or sender does not display in Outlook 2010. The to, cc and bcc fields all display presence properly. In Outlook 2013 however, all of the from, to, cc and bcc fields display presence.
    There is a similar discussion for Outlook 2013 on:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/a2500fec-fc3f-4295-bbe3-7620876a2d24/from-presence-not-displaying-in-outlook-2013
    My problem is similar to this one except that I've the same problem with Outlook 2010 and I don't have this problem with Outlook 2013. It may be resolved in Outlook 2013 with a hotfix I don't know. Does anybody have the same issue and have a fix or workaround
    for this situation? I have latest updates for Office 2010 already.
    A strange thing is that when I set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM\TurnOffPresenceIcon to 1, presence indicators are disappear from contact names as expected, however when I hover over the sender it
    displays sender's presence correctly on tooltip. So integration seems ok when I look at this.
    when I set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM\TurnOffPresenceIcon to 2, presence indicators are disappear from both contact names and tool tips as expected.
    when I set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM\TurnOffPresenceIcon to 0, presence indicators are appear for contacts in to, cc, and bcc fields except "from" field, which is quite strange. After
    I move around between messages, some of the sender's presence indicators starts displaying.
    Does anybody know why the presence indicator is not displaying consistently for the "sender" contact in Outlook 2010 when TurnOffPresenceIcon has value 0? Does anybody have the same issue and have a fix or workaround for this situation?

    Hi,
    There is another registry value named TurnOffPresenceIntegration
    which also have an effect on the presence indicator, please find the
    Key in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM
    or Policy Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Policies\microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\IM
    and then check if the key value is set to 0.

  • Will my old isight camera work with my Macbook pro and HD Cinema display?

    I have it hooked up but can't get the computer to switch from the built in camera to the external one.

    Firewire iSights can be picky about how they are connected. My first suggestion for your particular trouble is to try connecting directly to one of your Mac's built-in FW ports rather than via the monitor's Firewire hub. More info:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage6.html
    If necessary, you can use the suggestions from How to test your (external) iSight to ensure it is functional to be sure it is working with your new Mac.
    The solutions to your issues about switching from the built-in camera depends on which application you are using to operate your iSight. Here is how camera selection works in a few exampleS:
    (1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:

    In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
    (3) Photo Booth is a different matter. PB is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless you make your built-in iSight the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
    However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use your Firewire external  iSight:
    • Connect your external iSight and turn it on.
    • Quit Photo Booth (PB) if it is running.
    • Launch any app with a user-selectable camera "Preferences..." menu command.
     (The "tip" suggests that you use iChat, but others should work as well.)
    • Open "Preferences..." and set the camera "Preference" to use your built-in iSight.
    • Now launch PB. PB should now use the external iSight
     because your built-in camera is in use by the other application.
    (4) For apps other than those above, see their Help or other documentation.
    (5) If you have specific questions, we will try to help, too.

  • Intel MacBooks not displaying users list from WGM

    Hello folks,
    I have a situation where all my Intel iMacs connect to my OD server fine, pulls down the WGM user lists and logs in fine. However I also have about 8 Intel MacBooks that are meant to connect wirelessly to this same server. For some reason I can not figure the MacBooks, connect fine, I can even bind them but they do not display the users list. I thought maybe the wireless connection may have something to do with it, so I plugged them directly into the data cable and still no luck. I ensured that on the local machine the user account is set to display as a list. I have created the computer list in WGM for the MacBooks, all to no avail. I have been scouring the forums but no breakthrough yet. Any ideas from anyone will be greatly appreciated.
    G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    The list of users is a plist file and should be at at /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist on the clients. See this thread for more information:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2368769&#2368769
    If you've got a good plist from a client that sees the right users, you should be able to copy it over. If not, try backing up the file from one client and then deleting it and restarting.

  • Battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook, battery wont charge and isight camera wont turn on-macbook

    i bought a macbook from a guy and when i started it up... surprise it wont turn on if its not connected because the battery is not being detected.... then what i checked first was photobooth surprise the isight camera is not working... i searched in internet about smc but i do not understand it.... is there a way to recover it using the cd?

    Try resetting the PMU - Resetting MacBook and MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC). If you have no success then you'll need to take it in for service or replace the AC adaptor if it's gone bad.

  • "From" presence not displaying in Outlook 2013

    When running the Lync 2013 client, the presence indicator of the "From" or sender does not display in Outlook 2013.  The cc, bcc & to fields all display presence properly.
    When I close the Lync 2013 client and the launch the Lync 2010 client, the sender's or "From" presence displays properly. 
    We are currently running Lync 2010 servers in our environment.
    Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue?

    I have certainly come across this behaviour with outlook 2013 against Exchange 2007.
    How to repro the Issue?
    Open an email in Outlook 2013 connected to Exchange
    2007 in cached Mode. Sender of the email has empty personcard. 
    With Outlook 2013, users are not able to see GAL data for the
    sender of emails,
    Work around seem to be Using online mode instead of cached mode.
    There is a outlook fix planned for this issue however unsure on the Release schedule
    Hi Prasanth.  It's now the end of May.  Outlook 2013 went RTM about six months ago and GA about four months ago and this issue is still not fixed.  Are Microsoft still working on a fix or have they given up on it and turned their back on their
    users ?  
    I just installed Office 2013 + all MS updates and am very disappointed as Outlook 2013 is functionally inferior to 2010 because of this for us.  I work for a large organisation and this would hold back Office 2013 rollout.

  • Notes from macbook not syncing with iPhone and iPad

    notes stopped syncing in icloud from macbook air to iphone and ipad. anyone experience this? icloud settings are the same on all devices.....

    You don't need iPhoto on your mobile devices in order to use Photostream.
    It also doesn't make any difference where you purchased iPhoto from to use PhhotoStream on your Mac.
    However if you are updating iPhoto on your Mac, it is updated using the Mac app store, which uses it's own ID, which may or may not be the same as the ID you use for iTunes.

  • ISight Camera working with Skype but not iChat/Photobooth

    Hi there,
    may you can help?!
    My external FW-iSight is working on Skype and facetime - not on iChat or Photobooth.
    When I disconnect my new Apogee Ensemble the iSight is working.
    Isn't it possible to use more than one FireWire-port???
    Power-problem?
    How can I fix it without buying a new CinemaDisplay?
    Thanks for help

    Welcome to Discussions, nils
    (1) External iSight can be difficult to use with other Firewire devices or certain AV software.
    More info: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage6.html
    If you must use iSight with the hardware or software that is causing your conflict, perhaps adding a separate Firewire card for your external iSight will help you.
    (2) Searching Discussions shows that other users have also encountered problems with Apogee Ensemble:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9877690
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=605949
    My web search for "Apogee Ensemble known issues Mac OS X" returned several other items.
    Although none of the posts that I saw specifically addressed your external iSight issue, something in one of them may give you ideas if your problem is not otherwise resolved.
    (3) If you have not already done so, check Apogee's Ensemble FAQs for relevant info:
      http://tinyurl.com/2aetb5s
    For instance, if you have updated Ensemble's Firmware, the first FAQ might be of interest.
    (4) If all else fails, consider email support directly from Apogee:

  • Updating Contact info from Mail not displaying in Address Book

    So I was updating an existing contact from Mail using the data detector feature. Address Book was already running in background. I clicked on the data detector and said "update existing contact". I pick the contact that I want to update. When I go to address book to see if the contact was updated, it "appears" that it hadn't updated. However, if I exit address book and restart the data does appear. So it get's in the database but doesn't display until exit and restart.

    After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
    Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
    After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
    Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
    So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

  • Songs imported from CD not displaying in song list

    I tried to import songs from three different CDs. The first and third were fine, but the second CD imported, but doesn't display the songs imported in the list of all songs, although they are playing. I tried re-importing and it asks do I want to overwrite. I overwrite and same result. I re-import a second time and ask to not overwrite. Still no sign of the signs in the total list, and it now shows up in the duplicates list. Anyone know how I can find the songs, as they apparently are there, just not visible in the total list.

    Dell Inspiron 600M   Windows XP   Just upgraded to latest iTunes and iPod s/w.

    I discovered what the problem was for me. When I looked at the Recently Added songs, I saw that the songs were there. However, for the Name of Song, they showed the artist/song title, and for the Artist it showed "Various Artists". That's why I couldn't find it when I sorted by Title or Artist. By going into Recently Added, I right clicked on each entry and deleted the artist from the Title and added the appropriate artist in the Artist spot. Now the songs are properly logged in the music database and now my iPod.

  • Image Coming from URLRequest Not Displaying?

    Hi,
      I have a main app here with a subclass that is supposed to "send images" based on the "parameters" that sends to a HTTPService.
      However, even though the url seems to be generating correctly, I could not see the image. Since my PHP is working fine with the url as shown in the trace statements from my app, I am assuming that there has to be something else that I am missing here.
      Below is the code that generates the image, is there something here I am missing?

  • Data From Query not Displayed on Public Page

    Hi all,
    I just created a page which has a dynamic portlet that runs a query to display some data. Now I recently made this page public which means that anyone can basically access this page from the outside and not have to login. However, the data does not seem to come up after I access this page on a browser even though the banner comes up fine!! I made the table that the dynamic portlet accesses public. Is there something that I may be missing here? THanks.

    Well I went to the grant access tab and there is no make portlet accessable to public. The only place to make a component accessible to public is when your editing a page. The only options when you click on the Grant Access Tab is 1) Publish To Portal and 2) Inherit Previleges From Application.

  • Existing pictures from PC not displayed in Ovi - a...

    I have pictures taken using various devices over the years stored on my PC and want them all to show up in Ovi.
    One such directory which I cannot make appear is at:
    C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures\2000-04
    I renamed the directory especially to conform to the Ovi naming convention to eliminate that as being the problem.
    One of the images inside the folder is named:
    04022000001.jpg
    which also conforms with the Ovi naming convention, but when I refresh the view in Ovi, it is still not shown.
    The path for photos in Options > Photos is set to:
    C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures
    and I even added an extra watch folder below with the full path of one of the folders which it won't display:
    C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures\2000-04
    but it still doesn't display the contents.
    The odd thing is that a picture with the following path is displayed perfectly!:
    C:\Users\Peter\Documents\My Multimedia\My Pictures\Pictures but not personal photos\Evidence-Proof\pope.jpg
    This is annoying, as I'm hoping to use Ovi to host the pictures that I want to share, but I don't want to have one solution for current pictures and another for legacy pictures. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
    Thanks.
    My phone is an E72.
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
    Ovi Suite: 3.0.0.284

    In OVI Suite..Under Photos.. goto ADD File to Library / Folder to Library(as applicable) -->select the corresponding File / Folder on the PC... and then check..

  • Ringtones from istore not displaying

    Hi Ive recently purchased ringtones from istore but they appear in my library music folder and not in ringtones. I contacted Istore support and there comments were that I purchased an album of ringtones and had I purchased them individually they would have gone into the ringtone folder. Not the case... I purchased and downloaded one on its own and it still appears in the music folder. Ive checked that it has the .M4r file ending and it does... it even says ringtone if I right click and get info! Im awaiting a whitty response from the Istore support staff but any help would be appreciated.
    Many thanks

    I think that's what r'gnome meant when saying:
    There are however many ways to create ringtones for free from anywhere. Google "iphone ringtone"
    But, unlike the single ringtone purchasing approach, there are categorized sets of ringtones available at the iTunes store from third parties. I bought one such set a month or so back and found I still needed to do a conversion with Garageband -- a surprise. I suspect that's what the OP was finding.
