Isight, messenger and other forums

Hi All
Bought my isight yesterday and naively assumed that being an apple product and using with my 18 month old powerbook all would be easy to use and work straight out of the box but dissapointed to find that nothing seems to happen with messenger and with the forum i regularly use the camera is recognised as being connected but no picture is being transmit. I can't believe that the isight can only be used to communicate exclusively to other mac users which despite the fact that I love mine does exclude a huge amount of people in the world who use windows.
Really appreciate all the help to get me up and working.
Many thanks in advance
Tony

Hi
For messenger see aMSN http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14200 and Mercury http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14970 for video support.
And the forum you go to is that a flash site(can you give a link)

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

  • Where can we suggest new features for Yahoo Messenger and other RIM IM clients?

    I just downloaded the new version of Yahoo Messenger and I like the user interface. But every time a new version comes out, this application creates a less-complete history of contact behavior. Several versions ago, the contact's status showed up in the open conversation, along with the time stamp of when the status changed. This included Idle and Custom Status changes. That disappeared. In the last version, you could see the time the contact signed in or out last, and sometimes both. Now they're gone as soon as you close the conversation.
    The whole idea of having Yahoo up on the BlackBerry all the time is that you don't have to be staring at the screen all the time, that you should be able to take it out of your pocket and check out those events that occurred that didn't set off alarms. I'd like the whole contact history to be right there, for as long as I want to keep it active. How can I make this suggestion to RIM for the next version of Yahoo Messenger? Thanks.

  • Opportunity Listings and Other Forums

    I recently made a post in the "Coffee Corner" section of the forums that was deleted. I received email notification stating SND does not want company adds or jobs posted on the forums. As I respect the rules of the forum, I promptly changed my listing.
    I am also part of several other large SAP and PeopleSoft forums. Most of which have specific sections solely for posting open opportunities. Many give members the ability to list caliber positions so long as the company is not spamming the board. These sections are highly monitored by the forum administrators as to qualify the positions as legitimate high quality openings.
    My suggestion would be to maybe open up a part of the forum specifically for opportunity listings. I would continue to suggest that members must have made at least 10 prior legitimate postings and maintained membership for at least 7 days prior to being able to post in said section.
    Regards

    Hello,
    As an independent consultant, I am a very much in favour of a dedicated forum.
    Whilst I am not in favour of agency-style job adverts (there are enough job boards out there), it would be a fantastic idea for those people who are actually based at a company to be able to post requirements on a place like SDN. e.g. I need a person with skillset X to help us out for three weeks over go live. Or we need someone who can build Z for us.
    The reason this doesn't happen, is that there generally isn't a sufficiently sized audience to make this viable. Therefore companies use recruitment agencies. For various reasons many of us would prefer to work directly for the client. (and it could also benefit the company concerned). A dedicated forum on SDN would be an excellent resource for this purpose.
    There is a danger of it becoming a job board spammed by recruiters, but I believe there are many ways to address that. I would suggest creating a dedicated "Direct Resourcing" forum as a trial and seeing how it goes.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • I have seen this problem here and other forums but I need some clarity.

    Hey-
    (Sorry for the quick post, but I wanted to get this out there before I take off across the country so I might have some help when I am in NY by some help on here.)
    I purchased my first iPod this past Christmas. it was the iPod Nano 6 gen. I did a ton of research, read many post on various forums, and all the negative comments (except one) I felt I could live without, because I had not gotten use to any configuration of the Nano and the complaints seemed to not affect needing the Nano for exercising.
    The main problem with not being able to turn the Nano off or at least get it to a state where very little power was used seemed to be what was causing so much strife among new users. I thought I would read the posts, do some research, read the little manual that came with the Nano and the larger manual online at apple.com and figure out how Apple meant for this machine to be "turned off."
    I charged the pup up when I got it, changed my earphones to the new in the earphones and headed off to the gym. Since I had already done a considerable amount of research and played around with it to become familiar with the buttons and all before I it the gym, I felt I was OK to go for a workout. Since this was my very firs iPod, I had some challenges in synching the machine wit iTunes. I think I just need to understand the whole synch process ad probably do it manually. I turned the machine on when I got to the gym, got some tunes playing and hit the sleep/wake button so it would be a dark screen and save as much power as possible. I was actually shocked at how much power was used during the hour workout, especially since I did not play wit it at all during the workout.
    After the workout, I had learned from some people who were a bit more patient with finding oiut the best way to get the machine to use the least amount of power until their next use of the Nano. so, I turned the volume all the way down, paused the music that was playing, removed the earphones from the jack, and pressed the sleep/wake button in hopes I would have some power the next time I went to use it, which was the next day. That first workout it used about ½ of the battery icon and when I went to turn it on the next day for another workout I was shocked to see ¼ of the battery still charged.
    so, my questions or the main question is, despite all of my research on how the company meant for this machine to be put to sleep in-between uses, despite what I mentioned above what I did, is there any latest new from Apple out about why the battery hold such a crappy charge? Even following what the major Nano manual stated and even Applecare, the battery energy loss between one day was a shocker. I have read where people have not experienced this problem, but my question is does anybody know how Apple recommends that one leave the Nano when it is not in use? I understand it goes into a deep sleep after something like 36 hours, which seems insane to pick 36 hours. Also, if anybody has been able to figure out how Apple has built this machine to be put to sleep, I would really appreciate some help here.
    I have heard from many people that they can't have the Nano go to an off position because of the clock but come-on, there are many other tech devices that have a clock and are able to be put to sleep. You can still make a device to be put to sleep and still get the little energy it needs to keep the battery charged.
    any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Let me recap on what I have learned from my research to do when not in use to keep as much energy as possible. First, make sure the volume is all the way down by the sound "waves" are not coming out of the display speaker make sure whatever is playing is on pause, make sue the pedometer is off, unplug the earphones, press the sleep/wake bottom and your good to go until you use it next. However this does not keep my battery from drawing a significant amount of power so that I have a decent amount of power for the next workout. I can't believe this is such an issue when the earlier Nanos had much more uses and must have needed much more power to even keep things working during the Sleep time.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just discovered something today which will be useful to all of us.  As you know, we very frequently have questions about what a particular Toshiba utility does and some people have asked where they can read about all the Toshiba utilities.
    I noticed today while researching an answer for someone that Toshiba has added a new line under Support Bulletins at the Download site for each Model as of 04/16/2012.  The title is "Toshiba Laptop Utilities and Features". Check it out next time you're at the Download site.  It covers 36 utilities.  I have already learned a lot from it and intend to study it some more as I have time.

  • Messenger and other applications do not recognized the numbers that are on my contacts. Instead of showing names, they only show numbers. Any advice?

    When someone in my contact list calls or texts me, the phone does not recognize and shows the name, but only the number as if the person that is calling me is not on my contacts. Any advice?

    Found the fix, as this happened to me this morning...

    If you're on Verizon, you can
    ignore all the BS at the beginning, and under Additional Information, follow these steps:
    If you are using using Verizon as your provider and iPhone displays the ten-digit number instead of the name of the other party, please follow these steps:
    Dial *228 from your iPhone.
    When prompted, select option 1.
    When complete, you will hear a confirmation message.
    Force the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications to close using the following steps:
    Ensure that you have recently opened the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications.
    From the Home screen, double-click the Home button to display the recently used apps.
    Tap and hold the icon for the Contacts application until a red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to close the app.
    Repeat the previous step for the Messages and Phone applications.
    Tap the Home screen to return.
    Turn iPhone off and then back on.
    Hope this helps!

  • When uploading photos to Photobucket or Imgur or select forums either nothing happens at all or I get the "connection was reset" error. I have no problem uploading photos to other forums and FB. Firewall disabled, Spyware Doctor OFF, UAC off. Win 7-64.

    I have cleared the cache and history on both IE and firefox. When I try to upload photos to Photobucket, I get "IOException" and when I try to upload photos to paleoplanet (yuku) I get the "The connection was reset" firefox error. I can upload photos to FB and other forums just fine. I tried to use Imgur instead of Photobucket and I get a similar failure.

  • Trouble with 4G and other issues after latest update.

    To whom it may concern,
    After the recent update I have been having the following problems:
    I lose 4G in many places where I was receiving great 4G access before.
    Battery life seems to have suffered a little, this may be due to 4G hunting.
    New software applications were installed like the Caller ID app, and flipboard. I hate when software is installed without my authorization and then cannot be removed. What year do we live in Verizon?
    I have heard on this and other forums that a factory reset does not resolve these issues but Verizon claims that it is the final resolution. We should not have to do a factory reset after an update. I understand that there are many variables to consider with all the apps out there but that is what testing is for. That is why we wait for updates from Verizon.
    I will attempt a factory reset to resolve my issues. If this does not resolve the issues I will be contacting Verizon about a refund for the 4G access that I am now being denied.
    Thanks
    AlphaDanger

        Hey AlphaDanger!
    The year is 2013 and I read you loud and clear on wanting to make sure your software operates smoothly on your GS3. So, let's make that happen.
    Right off the bat, thank you for the details as well as considering a hard reset. But, I'd like to make another recommendation if you have yet to do it. Instead, I'd suggest wiping the cache partition. To do this:
    1.) Power off your phone.
    2.) Simultaneously hold the volume up key, home key, and power key.
    3.) When it vibrates, release only the power key.
    4.) When you see the Android recovery menu, wipe cache partition using the volume down toggle and power key to select.
    5.) Then select "Reboot System Now".
    Please let us know how this goes.

  • TS3899 I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 and now I can't get my work e-mail anymore.  I've tried deleting the account and re-adding, per other forum suggestions, and still no luck.  Also, there is no longer an "Advanced" section to enter information.

    Help!  I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 and now one of my two emai accounts - my work account - no longer receives/sends emails.  I checked my e-mail settings and they were correct.  I then deleted the account and tried to re-add it, per discussions in other forums, and it won't verify the account.  In addi tion, there was previously an Advanced section in the e-mail account setting, and now there isn't - don't know if that is part of the probem and the phone needs additional information that it's not asking for anymore . . . I'm beyond frustated.  Many hours of lost productivity.  Any suggestions?  Can I got back to the previous version?  I was thinking of buying new phone in next few months, but if this is resolved I'm leaving Apple.

    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
    Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
    Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
    Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored:  no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
    I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
    xp 2500 barton 333
    creative sound 5.1gamers.
    512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
    boadband either onboard.
    MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
    Setting are:
    163 fsb
    mult of 11
    ddr 333
    video memory clock down to 450mhz
    3d clock to 390mhz
    The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true.
