Just so I'm not confused...

I need to be able to record and broadcast video for a class I'm taking in January, and since the school only supports PC's I'm on my own to find a solution.
It's my understanding that you need to be able to video chat over AIM and record clips in MPEG. They will support MOV/QT files.
- Does iChat AV only support Firewire?
- Are there digital cameras that will support this?
- Is there a good list of compatible Webcams beyond the iSight?
Thanks, everyone, in advance!

Hi Ben,
This is the lst of current Camcorders that will work with iChat http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/camcorders.html
This way you can show the Live pic of yaou and then switch to pre-recorded items on the Tape. Some Cmcorders will have an Anti-tape-stretch feature that may kick in if it spends too long not running the tape.
There is also Showmacster
This allows you to send stills and Video clips instead of your Video feed on the fly.
The iChatUSBCam does have a feature for changing the Video feed between different cameras if you have them and the Desktop as a video source but these have to be changed before each chat.
The problem with these options is the size of the window that recives the picture. AIM on a PC is about 1 1/2 X 2 at the most.
Trillian gives a larger and scalable pic up to full screen.

  • Is there a way to open powerpc installer in Mavericks to just install library files (not run power pc app)?

    Hello, I was looking to install some files from a power pc program.  However, I have osx x mavericks.  I know the deal, since snow leopard apple swicthed to intel processors.  I was wondering since I only need to install files and not install and run a powerpc  app ,is there any way I can get the installer open to grab these files that I need?  I just need the files, not to run the program, there has to be a way around this without having to run a program like paralells or to run a dual boot with leopard on another drive?
    I'm trying to run a music plug in instrument program in Logic and I have everything installed except for the actual sound libraries wich need to be installed off this power pc installer.  I went to the companies website and downloaded and installed all of the latest updates. I then ran a report which is telling me that I just need to install the missing library files (on the powere pc installation).  Which I find confusing since I thought the whole point of the update i nstall was a way around that?  Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time.

    In my experience advising Logic users, depending upon the version of Logic and the model Mac you are using, if your Mac will boot from Snow Leopard, you can install Logic and all of its plug-ins in Snow Leopard and then upgrade to Mavericks.

  • How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • My itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    my itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • How do I set up my new Time Capsule just to back up not as a wireless?

    Can anyone tell me how to use my new Time Capsule just for back up not as a wireless router?
    I have an ATT Uverse for my wireless service and have not been able to get the two to work together.
    I just want to plug my Time capsule in and connect it to my MacBook Pro with an ethernet an click backup.
    So far my computer doesn't reconnect the Time Capsule.
    Thank you for your help

    You will need to configure the Time Capsule (TC) to join the wireless network provided by the ATT Uverse router, as follows:
    Either connect to the TC's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN port of the TC, and then, using the AirPort Utility, change this setting:
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Wireless tab > Wireless Network Name: <select the ATT Uverse network>
    This configuration will allow your Mac to connect by wireless to the ATT Uverse router and perform Time Machine backups wirelessly.
    If you want to only do this backups by wire, then you will need to connect the TC directly to the ATT Uverse router by Ethernet, and then, reconfigure the TC as a bridge. You can then connect the Mac to the TC by Ethernet as well for backups.

  • Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

    I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

    “the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
    Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
    Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

  • I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?

    Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
    It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this,  or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
    To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

  • I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either.  I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too.  is there anyway to recover these documents?

    I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either.  I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too.  is there anyway to recover these documents?

    On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved.  It's saved at:
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • My 24" iMac just died and will not power-up.  What can I do?

    My 24" iMac just died and will not power-up.  What can I do?

    Bring it into an Apple Store for a free diagnosis and quote for cost of repair/replacement of parts.
    If the costs are $500 or over, consider using the money toward a new or "newer" (used) Mac.

    Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

  • It is possible to use multiple iPads in my own enterprise and to create an app just for my restaurant not in appstore???

    It is possible to use multiple iPads in my own enterprise and to create an app just for my restaurant not in appstore???

    Yes that's completely feasable.
    Actually there is another way to install apps ad-hock that i was not aware of (this does not require the devices to be attatched to the Mac with the SDK and project, it can use any computer or distribute via your LAN:
    iOS Developer Programme:Ad Hoc Distribution
    With Ad Hoc distribution you can share your application with up to 100 other iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch users. Through email or by posting it to a website or server, users can download and install your app.

  • I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button

    I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button .

    Try connecting it to another PC, if it is ok, then your PC has some software conflict with iTunes.
    If it hangs other PC also, then your iPod Hardisk, maybe bad.
    Do the disk diagnosticas posted earlier by tt2, to check the health of your Hardisk.
    Have a nice day!
