Newbie: easiest way to see home webcam view from work?

Hi,
My Imac at home has the usual built-in isight camera, and I'm wanting to somehow set it up so that when I'm at work I can get my missus and our new baby to sit in front of it and I can see them.
I don't have a webcam at work, so it would be a one-way thing, if that's possible.
I'd rather not have to pay any subscription fee to do this, obviously, so if there's a free service then that would be best. I can install software at either end if necessary, although browser-based viewing (at work) would be best.
What's the quickest and easiest way? Any advice appreciated.
cheers,
Ian

Hi mcintosh_1,
What is the computer at work ?
If it is a Mac with iChat 2 AV or above then iChat can do one way chats.
If it is an XP with AIM 5/9 or Trillian Pro, iChat can do one way chats. (either of these may take a bit of work to sort depending on your work network).

  • What is the easiest way to move my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new mac pro?

    What is the easiest way to move my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new mac pro?

    Surprisingly easy! Go into the Finder, then into the Photos Library. In there, there will be a file called your iPhoto Library. It holds all your photos, essentially a special type of folder. Using an external hard drive transfer it to the same location on your new Mac. Now, when you boot iPhoto on the new Mac, it will recognise it and you'll see all your photos instantly!
    There's a really good video on it here...

  • Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone???

    Is there any way to see a text history from an Iphone that has been synced to Itunes account???

    SMS's are not synced through iTunes. Your SMS history is stored on your phone and also included as part of your iPhone backup. To view SMS's on your computer requires either extracting them from your phone or from your iPhone backup. Either or requires third-party software, as such is not supported by Apple. clayfromherriman has given you a way to extract from your backup. To extract from your phone, you can use this:

  • What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

    Hello MS,
    I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
    Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
    to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
    What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
    Is it:
    - the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
    - the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
    - not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
    - flat file *.csv (delimited format)
    Thanks!

    Hi lingodingo,
    If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
    If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

  • Somehow, I created 2 Appe ID's...1 from home and 1 from work.  I purchased additional space on iCloud with one ID, but I need to transfer it to the other.

    Somehow, I created 2 Appe ID's...1 from home and 1 from work.  I purchased additional space on iCloud with one ID, but I need to transfer it to the other.

    Having read some other posts I think I have answered my question. If I was somehow able to terminate my old (unwanted) account and Apple ID I would no longer be able to access the material I bought with that ID-  so I'm stuck. I have to learn how to manage that situation.
    This is unfortunate for Apple consumers. Life is complicated for families these days and this "rule" although it is in place to prevent cheating and fraud makes things unnnecessarily difficult for me and my family as in my niaevity (sic) with the online world I bumbled into this situation. Not everyone is out to rip off Apple - one of the worlds richest corporations- or the entertainers who market their work through iTunes.I would just like to be able to enjoy the entertainment I pay for where and when I like to on whichever computer is available to me. And I'm not terribly computer literate.   
    It would have been nice to have had the opportunity to speak just once to a real person in the employ of Apple to explain my situation to them.

  • Applying support packs, is there way to see all tables/view/clustered table

    We are applying support packs, and they are taking awhile.   Upon review it looks like it's adding some fields to some tables/clustered tables.  Is there a way to see all the tables/views/cluster tables that were updated.  I know I can look at version management, but if somebody can point me to the base tables to look at and I can do an sql to sort them for what I am looking for.   I want to make the changes to the update tables ahead of time by adding the column at the end, so there's no need for a conversion.

    you can find all the changes in Transport requests logs as below ;
    PATH -> SAP******* -> you get package,general text,documentation,table,tabclecontents,porgram,view etc..
    Plesae let me know if you have any questions?

  • Can't see DDL of views from other schemas in Developer?

    Hi,
    I've seen elements of this problem in other threads but this problem of course has it's own twist.
    I can see other schema's objects EXCEPT VIEW DDL.
    I have given a user every role and priv that I can and they still can't see the view ddl of another schema. They can see procedures, functions etc. just not the view. I've found that if I use the user that created the users I can see the DDL of all subordinate users. Users created under that schema can not see each others views no matter what rights are given. Interestingly enough sometimes when I look to display view DDL it will flash the DDL briefly before blanking the screen. very frustrating. All the Toad fanboys are crowing about how they couldn't possibly use a tool that doesn't allow them to see other view source.
    I have also looked for settings in the preferences but could find none.
    Is this a bug? It seems like one to me.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • What's the easiest way to select all my files from all the folders on a hard drive and place into one folder?

    Hi there,
    I have about 30,000 images all in hundreds of folders. I'm wondering what the easiest way to get them all into one folder so I can select and convert them all from .psd, .tiff, etc all to jpg. The reason I'm doing this is because the folder structure is such a mess, that I'm just going to import them all into aperture to sort everything. But the .tiffs and .psds are 100 mb each so I want to scale them to jpgs that are only 4 or 5 mb before I even think about importing them into aperture.
    I tried doing a search for "kind is image" and it shows them all but a ton of them are renamed the same thing so when I try to select all and move into one folder it tells me I can skip that one or stop copying.
    Any thoughts or ideas on this?
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Hi russelldav,
    one note on your data handling:
    When  each of the 50 participants send the same 60 "words" you don't need 3000 global variables to store them!
    You can reorganize those data into a cluster for each participant, and using an array of cluster to keep all the data in one "block".
    You can initialize this array at the start of the program for the max number of participants, no need to (dynamically) add or delete elements from this array...
    Edited:
    When all "words" have the same representation (I16 ?) you can make a 2D array instead of an array of cluster...

  • Easiest way to transfer 3rd party plugins from CS4 to CS5?

    CS5 is arriving tomorrow and I'd be grateful for a steer on the least painful way to move third party plugins from CS4 to CS5.  I am running W7 64bit.  Can I just copy the plugin folders at Program Files/Adobe/PhotopshopCS4 etc...Plugins and Program Files (86)/Adobe/PhotoshopCS4 etc. and replace the equivalent folders in CS5 with them?
    Thanks.

    Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS was reworked on a fundamental level to be able  to run as a 64-application under the 64-bit versions of Mac OS. Because  of this, old and 32-bit plug-ins won't run, can return errors, or cause  crashes when you use them in either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of  Photoshop. See below for instructions on how to open Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit and 32-bit  modes.
    How to run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit and 64-bit modes
    To  run Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS as a 32-bit application:
    Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5  application file, installed by default in the Applications/Adobe  Photoshop CS5 folder.
    Choose File > Get Info, and select Open in 32 Bit Mode.          
    Deselect this option to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode.
    To run Photoshop CS5 in Windows as a 32-bit application:
    Close Photoshop CS5.
    Navigate to the Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop  CS5 folder..
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop CS5.exe file.
    To run Photoshop CS5 in Windows as a 64-bit application (if your  version of Windows and your hardware supports 64-bit):
    Close Photoshop CS5.
    Navigate to the Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS5  folder..
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop CS5.exe file.

  • Easiest way to save data (itunes, pics) from my imac.

    What is the easiest way to save data from my imac to turn around and put it on a macbook. I don't yet have the laptop.

    Get yourself an external firewire+USB drive, and either use  SuperDuper!    to clone your data to the external, or drag and drop what you want onto the external.  Remember to format it as Mac OS Extended (journaled) and partition it as GUID.

  • Easiest way to move games and apps from old ipad (cracked screen) to replacement ipad?

    What is the easiest way to move games from old ipad (cracked screen) to new (replacement) ipad? 

    When you plug the new one into iTunes to set it up, you'll be asked if you want to set it up as a new iPad or restore from the backup of the old one. make that choice and you should be good to go. You'll need to input passwords and set the internet back up and such, but most of it will be there.
