My iChat says I don't have a camera on my macbook. how do I get this turned back on?
Any one know how to get my camera to be recognized on my Macbook? It says I don't have a camera installed on my computer. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5 and I haven't found any fix besides updating my OS. What are my options...
Hi,
If any apps do not see the camera try other Mac User Accounts (create one if required).
IF that does not seem to get any app to see the camera check the System Profiler. (Should be under Hardware > USB)
The above is summary of Trouble Shooting an iSight
If it does not show up there, then Do an SMC/PMU reset

I have a portable camera that when I turn I plug it in to my Mac Mini, nothing happens and it says I don't have a camera hooked up. How do I fix it?

I'm trying to compress a file but I get an error that "I don't have permission to access dovecot." How do I get this permission?
I ended up doing just as you said and downloading the program seperately. However, I'd like to point out that after I downloaded the server.app to my MBA it did allow me to compress it. For some reason it wouldn't let me do it from the server so I could airdrop it over. I'd only get the error previously mentioned. Must be a server thing eh?

I have a Macbook Pro early 2011. i don't have AirPlay on my computer. How can I get it. I have read that early 2011 should have the AirPlay option. Any ideas please.
Hi All,
I need your expert advice to proceed. I bought apple TV and it works fine with my iPad and iPhones also fine with itune of my Mac Book Pro BUT I am not seeing setting which says "Airplay Mirroring" in system preference -> Display at all.
I checked my mac serial number and it shows the model as below. As far as I understood this feature should be there from 2011 onwards.
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Please suggest!!
Thanks and Regards -

I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?
Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

MacBook won't let me let me install mountain lion because i don't have the previous owner's password how do i get around that
What model year it the Mac you have? If it is a Late 2011 or newer model then you can first reinstall the Original version of OS X that came on it by using the Online Internet Recovery system. Hold down the Command+Option/Alt+r key at startup and hold them down until you see a Spinning Globe in the center of the screen. From the screen that comes up use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as one partition aand when that is done close DU and Select Reinstall Mac OS X.
If it is older then a late 2011 model then you will need the Original System disks for that Mac. These can be order from Apple for a small charge. -

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong. -
When I try to log on to I Tunes, I receive a message that it is locked or that I don't have permission to use it. How do I fix this?
If iTunes was working previously then it is possible that the preference file that records the location of your library has been corrupted. Clicking the icon to launch iTunes then immediately press and hold down the shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choosem then browse to and open your iTunes Library.itl file, normally found in <User's Music>\iTunes.
Alternatively see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if there really is a permissions issue or Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash in case the library itself is damaged.

My mac 10.8 does no have the file, com.apple.desktop. plist I wentto lIbrary, preference and look for it and it is not where in my mac. I also launch time machine and file is no where on my Mac. How do I get this file back?
thanksSystem files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

I rented a movie, watched half of it. Had 27 days left until it expired. After 3 days, received a message saying the movie had expired and it appears deleted from my rental folder. Any ideas how I can get this movie back?
You would have to rent it again.
Once started the movie you have 24 hours to complete viewing.
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
