    all photos  have a red cast to them

    Hi there cqerqso,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

  • All my pictures have a red flag instead of the actual picture?

    I have tried to go on several sites and all the pictures or login bars are missing there is a small red flag in its place. It is fine in internet explorer just not firefox. How can I get the pictures back?

    I had the same problem today with a CP1217. Went to Devices and Printers, Preferences, Advanced, Print Processor, and changed it from ZIMFPRINT to HP Color Laserjet. It works now.

  • Some pictures have a red "X" in them

    Hi there,
    I searched for a while on this topic, but couldn't quite get the answer I'm looking for.
    When viewing my website using Internet Explorer, some (not all) pictures appear with a red "X" in them. It seems strange to me that most of the pictures post properly, and that this issue doesn't happen with them all.
    I know what some of you are thinking, IE is old and you prefer Firefox or other options. Since I'm using this as a business site, I'm hoping to figure out a way to make it work o.k. when viewed by IE. I have also attempted using other web software such as DreamWeaver, but that's way over my head and I simply don't have the time (or motivation) to learn it. Is there any way to make iWeb's pictures to work well with IE?
    My website I'm referring to is www.GoAheadTakeTheWheel.com . An example of what I'm talking about exists on the home page below the yellow book cover.
    Thanks for your help!
    Dave

    Hmmm. I originally took the photo and saved it as a .jpg. From what I understand, iWeb converts it to a png, no?
    This same issue is also happening with some text boxes. The one on my home page is a png, but I do not know how to change it to a jpg or even if that's possible.
    I'm so not programming savy, so bear with me a bit here.

  • Apple tv text and pictures have a green hue

    Ok, I was reading through the forums and I keep seeing people talk about a green screen but I am not having that issue.  Everything on my apple tv is in a green and black hue.  I can see the words and picutres and everything but they are all green.  I am trying to mirror my ipad 2 through my lcd projector in my classroom.  I have my own router setup in the class and the ipad and apple tv connect to it.  I then have a Kanex ATV pro converter (hdmi to vga) which then goes to my projector.  The picture and everything mirrors fine except for the green color of everything.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Took me a month + buying extra HDtoVGA adapter.
    And just before i gave up and wanted to buy a new projector (i thought mine is faulty cause it worked with a different projector) - I found your solution.
    You have no idea how many people are searching for answers and never come back to write a solution they found.
    i'll just add that exist 2 place where it's written SETTINGS in the apple TV (cause in some point i was looking for this and did not find it)
    one is on the upper line - very limited.
    the other  on the line of you've symbol - extended.
    YOU ARE THE BEST.
    thanks

  • Built-in iSight vs External iSight

    Hello.
    I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro with the built-in iSight camera. But also recently found an external iSight camera at an auction website that I might want to buy. How do the quality of the cameras compare?
    Also with two cameras attached, am I able to switch between the two while using quick capture in iMovie 09 without stopping the recording?

    ... recently found an external iSight camera at an auction website that I might want to buy.
    I suggest that you *test any external iSight before you buy*, even if you get a warranty or performance guarantee from a retailer that you know and trust.
    Some users who have recently bought used external iSights have posted about their difficulty in the iSight Forum. Here is one example if you do not want to search for yourself:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9015271
    External iSight is a great camera, but they are getting old as electronics go, and you have no idea how the one you buy now has been used or treated by its previous owner(s).
    I suggest that you buy locally and test any external iSight you are considering on your Mac before you pay for it. That way you know whether it will work, and a local seller may be able to answer questions, if any, about connecting and using iSight before you buy. If you need help with how to make sure an external iSight works, see "How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional."
    Even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as NIB (new, in box) or NOS (new, old-stock), it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
    Moreover, if you buy an external iSight now, verify whether all connectors, cables, and iSight mounts that you need are included. If some items you need are missing but you still want to buy the iSight, this info may be of interest. (Note that Apple no longer offers the "iSight Accessory Kit, Part Number: M9314G/B" that is mentioned there.)
    If you or your Apple Service Technician need but cannot locate something from the discontinued Kit or something from the list in the iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions page, http://www.synaptech.com can help obtain parts that are still available.
    If you consider buying an external iSight sight-unseen from eBay or other internet seller, I strongly suggest that you (try to) get a written guarantee that you can have the iSight examined by your Apple Authorized Service Provider and can have a refund or exchange if the iSight doesn't pass his condition verification.
    If you are willing to consider alternatives to a used external iSight, you may find this user tip of interest: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211
    How do the quality of the cameras compare?
    Quality is subjective. You should judge it for yourself by testing.
    Here is one comparison example I did some time back. The one on the left is with a built-in iSight, but the current iSights may perform differently.
    As is normal for different digital cameras, images comparing two cameras are very different. Which you like better will likely depend on personal taste and may vary with subject matter and lighting conditions. To remove as many variables as possible, I made the following comparison image showing the same subject in the same location during the same video chat using the two different cameras (internal vs external iSight) on same iNtel iMac Core Duo. You can see some of the differences in color balance, sharpening, and contrast settings used by the two cameras. Click the image below if you want a larger picture:
    One other possible difference is resolution. All external iSights are 640x480 (Ø.3MP) cameras. I think that all the 2008 MBPs are 1,280x1,024 resolution (1.3MP). To be certain, you can test your MBP's iSight's resolution with QuickTime Pro if you have it. If you don't have QT Pro, use the test explained in this page.
    However, depending on which software you use, this resolution difference may not have any practical importance for you. Not all apps can use the higher resolution of the 1.3MP built-in iSights, so there's no need to trade Macs or cameras purely on account of which built-in iSight you have (unless you have a definite need increased resolution.)
    Testing is the only real way to determine how images from a particular iSight will look on a particular display when driven by a particular software application. With those tests, each individual can decide whether the image quality is sufficient for his particular need. If higher quality is needed, a good camcorder or digital still camera will give better results than any webcam.
    Also with two cameras attached, am I able to switch between the two while using quick capture in iMovie 09 without stopping the recording?
    Probably not.
    Capturing, converting, processing, and writing video to disk imposes a significant load on your Mac. The exact extent of this load may vary depending on a wide variety of factors including which app(s) you use, the configuration (example: how much RAM is available) of your Mac, which apps are running, how much disk space is available, and possibly even the lighting and complexity of the subject of your recording.
    Moreover, although iMovie '09 (iMovie v8.x) can continue to record while a different app is active, not all apps can. For instance, Photo Booth immediately stops recording unless its recording is the currently active window.
    Even if you have two apps that each can record in background, trying to process two video streams simultaneously may be beyond your Mac's capability. The only way to know for certain is to test.

  • Built-in iSight as webcam???

    I have a 2.1 GHz G5 iMac (Pre-intel), w/ a built-in iSight and I am having issues using it as a webcam on various cam-chat sites. All the sites I am on say they support iSight, and friends that have External iSight's use them fine...anything I should know on how to turn the Built-in cam on? iChat and Yahoo Messenger recognize it. Oh..iMovie HD doesn't see it either.
    Thanks for any help!!
    Scott

     I do not have a built-in iSight, but here are some ideas you can consider, Scott.
    Video web sites may have unique requirements. The site FAQs, Help links, or Technical Support should give you the best answers for compatibility, configuration, and operating questions about these sites.
    If the websites you are visiting use the Macromedia Flash plug-in for internet video support in your browser, you may need to configure your plug-in settings. A <control>Click on the video window may let you check your settings.
    Have you tried the suggestions from your iMac's users manual? If you do not have it available with you, you might find help or useful info at the iMac G5 (iSight) User's Guide (Manual) link. (If you use Safari as your browser, you can <option>Click to download the manual.) The section on "Using the Built-In iSight..." begins on page 29, and the "TroubleShooting" section begins on page 53.
    If an you explain what "having issues" means, perhaps some built-in iSight users can offer suggestions. Try to describe the problem more specifically. Are you getting a colored screen, no reaction, an error message, or some other problem?
    Any built-in iSight users have suggestions for Scott... ?

  • Disable built-in iSight or otherwise enable External Webcam

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to take pics directly onto a MacBook. Don't need anything fancy, so PhotoBooth would suffice, but I need more control over where the camera is pointing than lifting and trying to aim a laptop. We have a Logitech 9000 but we can't get photobooth to use it. We tried tying up the built-in iSight with another app: this just causes photobooth to open with a blank black screen. We tried an applescript to disable the internal iSight (script "Intel Mac iSight Disabler" from [email protected]): this caused photobooth to launch with an error "No Camera" icon.
    Anyone know either a way to disable the built-in isight and have an external webcam work OR an app that does basically what Photobooth does but with the ability to choose the camera?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hello Jeff.
    (1) Re-enable your built-in iSight. The script you mention disables ALL USB webcams when any are disabled.
    To use a different (must be compatible with your Mac) camera, occupy your built-in iSight in another app that lets you select the camera BEFORE you launch Photo Booth. Then, when you launch Photo Booth, it will automatically connect the webcam that is not already in use. For more details, scroll down and take a look at (3) in this link:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11033260&#11033260
    It deals with built-in iSight and the iSight in an LED Display, but the idea is the same.
    (2) For more info on alternative webcams, take a look at this use Tip:
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211
    Depending on the exact model of your Logitech, macam drivers apparently may allow it to work with your Mac. More info at the macam site:
      http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php
    Depending on how much budget you have and whether you have trouble making your Logitech work, you may find buying a new "UVC" webcam to be a simpler solution for a second webcam.

  • Built-In isight not showing picture

    **Please Help!**
    I have a built-in isight camera that is not working at the moment. I have tried everything that apple tells you about troubleshooting isight, created new account, repair permissions, empty caches, but nothing worked. Could not find isight preferences to delete.
    When I open, say PhotoBooth, Skype, ichat, my camera turns on (LED green light is on) but no picture is showing up. Do not know if there us a setting that turns the image off and i might have somehow or what. It was working one day and the next nothing.
    Does anyone have any solutions for this problem?

    Ok, so i found the answer by calling apple support.
    They told me to
    1. Shut off the computer.
    2. Turn on the computer.
    3. RIGHT AFTER you turn on the computer, simeltaneously hold down the command, option, 'p', and 'r' keys. This will reset the computer. You want to reset your computer two times, for a total of three start-ups (or three biiiiings that you hear at the start of the computer.) DO NOT LET GO OF THE KEYS UNTIL the third biiiing (or startup sound)!
    Once you hear that third biiiiing, just let the computer do its normal startup cycle. This process resets the perimeter RAM, which is used by applications such as safari and ichat.
    Good luck!

  • Very dark picture with built-in iSight

    Hi,
    with my 3 month old intel iMac it seems that the picture I get with the built-in iSight is much darker than with my previous white iMac G5 with built-in iSight.
    My new iMac sits in the very same place as my previous iMac G5, yet the picture quality in terms of brightness is only mediocre.
    Is there a way for me to adjust the settings for my iSight?
    Has anybody else noticed this? Could it be a hardware problem?
    Thank you,
    Torsten

    Have you closed and opened Photo Booth? This is often all that is required.
    This also can help:
    Open the iChat application>video preview. If it is dark as well select:
    iChat>change my picture>take a snap shot. Close iChat and open Photo Booth.
    I haven't found the sniper solution yet, it doesn't happen very often.

  • Importing into iPhoto, Pictures Have Red Tint

    This has gotten progressively worse over time...
    I have .NEF files that are created using a Nikon D90 camera in a folder.  In the past these images would import successfully into iPhoto.  By import, I do NOT create a second image inside the iPhoto library but simply have iPhoto create a link to the image in the folder.
    Now all of the photos I have imported have a RED TINT to them.  Here's what I have found:
    1.  When the .NEF is imported into iPhoto it has a RED TINT
    2.  When I go to the folder, and press the space bar to preview the file, the photo has a RED TINT.
    3.  When I go into Photoshop, the photo shows up in it's proper color.
    What seems the be the problem here?  This was not the case when I first began using iPhoto '11 with my .NEF files.  Any thoughts?

    Thanks for replying Lennart, but the problem I'm having is with still photos being imported from iPhoto, not video clips. There are no transitions or titles involved. I was simply importing some photos and planned to go back to add transitions.
    I thought about it while at work today and realized that the photos I was trying to add to the timeline were 1) all scanned, and 2) possibly bitmap format. So I started playing with it again when I got home. Sure enough, the bitmap photos import with a red filter look, jpegs do not. To verify this premise even more I duplicated a bitmap photo and then converted it to jpeg. Sure enough, the red filter appears when I import the bitmap image but not on the jpeg.
    Why? Beats me. Maybe some of the more technical folk have an explanation. Thankfully I don't have that many bitmap images and I will simply convert those that are.
    One more note, out of curiosity I decided to try importing a still RAW photo to an iMovie. The image shows beautifully in iMovie but in the timeline in shows as a black frame. I wouldn't ordinarily import a RAW image, I was just curious.

  • The built-in iSight on my iMac no longer works on Skype an camera booth.  Is that a software or hardware problem.  the video screen shows no picture but just horizontal line. Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    The built-in iSight camera stopped working for Skype and Camera booth giving each screen the same horizontal lines. Is this a software or hardware problem.  What insight and advicecan you give me.  I would be greatful.  Thanks

    Is the little green light on?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying one of those Apps.

  • Built-in iSight - how do you know for sure it is off?

    I have a new iMac with built-in iSight. I have been checking into security software for my iMac and came across the program called Undercover by Orbicule. One of the functions of that program is that is utilizes the built-in iSight camera to take pictures of the room/person who potentially stole your computer. So that caused me to wonder how do I know for sure my built-in iSight camera is turned off and not accessible by some program outside of my control? I know the green light comes on if I use it in iMovie or something like that, but how do I know it isn't being hacked and used without my knowledge?

  • Who can help me out with my built-in iSight issue?

    Okay, so I have a question regarding my built-in iSight.
    Now, I know... This question may have been asked before but I just can't find it, I guess it got lost in the mass.
    If you would be friendly enough to forward me the message or instruct me on what I need to do to solve this, that would be a great help.
    Also, I'd like to know if I have to reset anything will I lose everything on my Mac? Should I make an external backup?
    So basically the issue is that whenever I turn on Photo Booth the only thing I get is a black screen.
    The program will let me take a picture, but when I want to see a preview of the image, it's not there.
    I then tried to use my iSight with iChat, which worked perfectly fine. After that I did the same with Skype,
    but Skype didn't let me see anything but black as well.
    Can anyone help me please?? Is this an issue that can be fixed myself or should I bring it to the Apple Store?
    As this is a very important matter to me, because my parents are moving out of the country soon and I would like
    to keep in touch through Skype, I would really appreciate all the help!!!
    Thank you in advance guys!

    You have a software problem that will require troubleshooting.  With your parents moving soon, I understand your concern.
    Because you have been unable to correct the problem using the suggestions that are already posted in iSight discussions, I suggest you make an external backup and then take your Mac to the Apple Store for service.
    If you like, the Apple Store may even be able to suggest training that will allow you to troubleshoot and fix future occurrences on your own.

  • UnHappy With Built in iSight

    I have a macbook and im kind of unhappy with the built in iSight. I think it is awsome idea for location but the quality is not that great. Ive seen many pictures on apples website showing confrences but unfortunatly my iChat conferences are always blurry no matter the connection. Am i doing something wrong with my iSight or is there anyway to enhance the picture quality?? Thanks in advance for the help

    The perceived poor video quality probably has nothing to do with the built-in camera itself. More likely it has to do with Internet connection speeds or some other issue.
    I suggest you try connecting to me at [email protected] or to one of the other testers for additional feedback.
