ISight (hooked to PB) in Baby's room for viewing on net - POSSIBLE?

Hello, any help would be greatly appeciated.
I have a 15" PowerBook, and I am interested in purchasing an iSight camera, so I can plug it into the PB, and leave the cam/computer in our newborn's room so that the grandparents, or mom and dad can see the baby on the internet while at work/home. Is this possible?
This would only be for viewing purposes - not for communicating, since the viewers don't have webcams. I guess it's like creating a live broadcast on the net, which can be viewed at any time by a relative.
Is the only way to broadcast live video through iChat? I seem to remember some kind of hidden application stored on the mac (capture app???) that would allow you to post live images/videos on the net, and even has a web link.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
iMac 20 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4

Thank you for your reply.
I can't find iSight cameras anywhere - so, I'll be making a trip tomorrow to the Apple store downtown (I hope they still have some). Local retailers have none in inventory.
In any case, when I get the camera, I'll consider trying the software. Do you work for evological, RJ? Is it Evocam 3.6 that you're suggesting I purchase?
Thank you.

Making Room for Final Cut Studio 2

hiya been a long time since ive been on.
so here's my problem, right now im working on a g5 tower dual 2.0 2.5 gig ram, very nice machine and has served me well for my final cut and production audio needs. i just recently bought a macbook pro 2.2 version with 120 gig of harddrive space, after hearing that sweet gong sound of the first boot up on a shinny new laptop, i was slightly sad when i saw that i only had 80 gig of space available on my hardddrive. id like to install final cut studio 2 when i get it, along with all the content, and still have room for programs such as tracktor dj studio 3, my music, and creative suite three...
ive thought about deleting all the unneccesarry programs such as imovie, garage band, idvd, ect. ect. but im unsure what this will do to my system, and what exactly i can get rid of to give me that extra 10 gig or so.
my question is; 1. can i delete imovie and all the unnecessary junk im never going to use with out system problems? and and 2. what else can i get rid of to give me that extra gig or so, so i can pack this baby with software, and not bog down my system
peace n love

The Final Cut Studio applications only take up about 4gb of space. The other 56gb of content include LiveType Data, SoundTrack Loops, tutorials, templates, etc. You have the option during the installation process to install the "extras" on another drive ... leaving plenty of space on your boot drive.

Text Frame Options. Room for Side Heads added without warning

Hi -
I just got asked this and have no clue how to help. Anyone know what this is?
Every now and then, my Frame file will –apparently on its own – reset most of its text frames into having room for side heads. Makes for lots of bad labels on graphics – everything’s suddenly offset and scrolling off the bottom.
This will happen suddenly. It will usually be only one or two chapters in a book, but if I ignore it has been known spread like the black death throughout the book.
The only solution I’ve found so far has been to revert to a backup or touch each text frame individually. Setting properties for two at a time messes up location on the page.

HI -
Here's what I heard back.
I believe it’s for everything except main text flow, including headers&footers on master pages, and special elements on unused master pages.
It appears to be spontaneous, but I can’t guarantee that.
I don’t use MIFs, and I’m pretty sure no one else does.
Yes to formatting imports , because we frequently change variables in one chapter and copy them back to the rest (esp date doc was last edited – not same as print date per our regulatory agency.) Likewise conditional text. We know not to copy from a file into itself in a book, although it has happened and we do exchange manuals between revisions at times.

On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

Hello Douglas,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro. I recommend the following steps for this issue:
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos?

My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. Thanks

Hey EmilyEliza,
As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

Hey there TowneJ,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

Time Machine no longer deletes older files to make room for new ones.

I happened to notice today, that Time Machine is failing when attempting to do updates. I also notice that the HDD is just about full. Time machine should delete the oldest backups to make room for the new ones, but for some reason this isn't happening. I also tried deleting some of the older folders manually. It says it deletes them, the folder icon disappears, but the available space never increases. If I reboot, the folders I deleted are still there. Time Machine has no problem reading the files, but apparently can't delete them. Anyone have an idea as to what might be happening? It used to work, but now something is 'broken' and I have no idea where to start looking. I am running OSX 10.5.3.

don't delete old backups from finder. delete them from TM interface. start TM and navigate to the backup you want to delete. click on the "gears" action button in finder's toolbar and select "delete backup". You'll have to enter your admin password. you might have to do this for several backups to clear up enough space. the deletion process can take a while so be patient. This is not guaranteed to make TM start deleting old backups by itself but it might.

How to get the list of collaboration rooms for a particular user??

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to get the list of all the collaboration rooms for a given user. I have started developing the Web Dynpro application by reusing necessary jars required to the web dynpro application.
on some action I am trying to execute the below code:
IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IRooms.PORTAL_SERVICE_ID);
which I have got from help.sap.com
But, there's some exception being raised and not able to retrieve the list of rooms.
Could somebody tell me what am I doing wrong.
Regards,
Raghu.

Hi,
the below is the code that I have used to get the list of rooms. But I'm getting into the NullPointerException .
I have added the catch block for time being, but could you please let me know the reason for NullPointerException?
public void onActiongetRooms(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActiongetRooms(ServerEvent)
     IWDMessageManager msgMgr = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
     try{
          IService service = PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IRooms.KM_SERVICE_ID);
          IRooms roomsAPI = (IRooms) service;
          String roomID = "00bd6231-fdca-2c10-919c-97bf74054b7d";
          IRoom room = roomsAPI.getRoom(roomID);
          String roomname = room.getName();
          msgMgr.reportSuccess(roomname);
     } catch (NullPointerException e) {
          // TODO: handle exception
          msgMgr.reportException("Null Error:"+e.getMessage(), true);
     catch (RoomInstantiationException e) {
          // TODO: handle exception
          msgMgr.reportException("Error :"+e.getMessage(), true);
    //@@end
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I need to reinstall my original factory disc and reset my computer to the beginning. It currently has lion. Do I need to erase my HD first to clear and make new room for the install disc.

Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. Help?

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch. I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad? How is this done? (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

My isight built in camera is only turning on for few second on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011 with osx Yosemite) when I use any camera needed app. Please help me. Its getting a little annoying.

If restarting Mac or reinstalling OS X does not correct this symptom, you likely have a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.
