No iChat Effects Available

I installed Leopard on both my G5 PowerMac as well as my daughter's iMac G5. She has no effects button on her iChat display window at all and "Show Video Effects" is grayed out of the video menu. I have the 2 pages of effects on my PowerMac. She does have the effects in PhotoBooth.
I understand about the missing or unusable background effects for non-intel computers but I haven't seen any posts about effects missing altogether.
I did try reinstalling iChat from the Leopard DVD, but it's still the same ... any ideas?

On my iMac I don't see ANY effects ... not even an effects button. It sounds like you see an effects button on your iMac, but only two pages of effects ... that's what I see on my tower. At this point I don't know if it was a bad install, something messed up in the preferences or what because people telling me that it's because the effects don't work on non-intel macs is simply not true. They work on my non-intel tower and they work in photobooth on my iMac and from the posts I've read, plenty of people with non-intel macs see the effects button and two pages of effects (which I think Apples refers to as "photobooth effects").
As to the 2 out of 4 pages ... nothing indicates the 4 pages on my tower (where I do see effects) I know about them through posts as well as the "Leopard Tour" quicktime movie.

IChat Effects with iMovie 08?

Hi all.
Does anyone know if it's possible to utilize the new iChat effects that are available with 10.5 within iMovie 08? Does Apple Development have any plans to integrate these with the isight recording feature in iMovie '08?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
You can always take a recording with effects from Photo Booth and import it into imovie

I have Garage Band for my IPad. I would like to add a "delay" effect to my music, but I do not see that effect available. How can I add it to the software? Thank you.

Hello all,
I have Garage Band on my Ipad Mini and I notice that it does not have a "delay effect" that can be added to my music. There are other effects, but no delay, which is the most important one for me. How can I add this effect? Thank you.

There are not many effects available in GarageBand on the iPad. You can add reverb and echo to the Master Track, but that's it.
See the User Guide: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.4/index.html#chs175dc411

New ichat effects not working in photo booth?

I recently just downloaded the iChat Effects 2.0.4 for my new MBP and it works fine in ichat. But, when i try and take a picture using one of the effects in photo booth it comes out pink and white. does anyone know how to fix it??

Hi,
Do you mean these http://ismileys.free.fr/moreichateffects/ ?
They have not really worked in Snow Leopard and should be deleted
There are also these http://ichatfx.com/iChatFX/Home.html which seem more stable.

Not able to stop flip effect available in the distortioneffects swc

Hi,
I am using flip effect available in the distortioneffects.swc component(http://blogs.adobe.com/auhlmann/archives/2007/03/distortion_effe.html).I am trying to stop a running flip effect.Though the isPlaying property of the effect is false when i traced it,the effect continued playing.Using Flex 3 sdk.
Here is a sample code snippet where you can reproduce this error:

Are iPhoto iOS effects available in iPhoto 11 or Aperture?

I really enjoy several of the cool effects available in IPhoto for iOS but am stumped that why they do not exist in the most recent version of IPhoto nor Aperture?
Am I missing something??? or is the one of the many elements caught in the gaps as Apple is integrating all their platforms???

kwdonlon:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Neither application can do that. You'll need Photoshop Elements to change backgrounds or add text in a variety of ways. The text demo is actually a watermark type of text. There are other apps which can add text but PSE is the only one I'm familiar with that can do the type of background removal (except of course the full blown Photoshop).
Amazon.com sometimes has a deal on Photoshop Elements for Mac with about $10 off bringing it to around $79.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do i uninstall ichat effects?

how do i uninstall ichat effects? i just want the bug out ones. they show up on photobooth but not ichat

HI,
Do you mean MoreiChatEffects ?
This is "known" to have some issues as the Quartz files that are used are from and older version of Quartz Composer and some will not play in later versions of the OS.
This installs the Quartz files in the "wrong" place.
The Apple ones are in Hard Drive Name/System/Library/Compositions
Ones to be used by all Users should be place in Hard Drive Name/Library/Compositions
Ones for the User only should be put in Hard Drive name/Users/(Account name)/Library/Compositions.
The MoreiChatEffects ones get put in the System/Library/Compositions getting mixed up with the Apple ones.
There should be an "Uninstall" option if you re-run the Installer.
Support Messages on the Site list an issues trying to run in 64 bit mode but end in 2009
iChatFX is something similar but expands on what Quartz can really do.
It takes what ChatFX did and updates it for later versions.
ChatFX (second of those two links) worked up until OS X 10.4.9 At OS X 10.4.10 Apple changed the way the video was produced for iChat (and PhotoBooth) which meant the access part of the Quartz files did not work.
iChatFX (Note the leading "i") was produced by a different company.
The Demo does not have all the 200 options but does have many (with Demo written all over them).
However these also have been caught out by changes in the way Apple grabs the Video from the Camera.
iChatFX also puts files in the "Apple" System/Library/Compositions folder instead of the "All Users" /Library/Compositions folder.
The Good News
IN the Hard Drive Name/System/Library/Compositions folder there is also a file called "DefaultOrder.plist" which can be opened on QuickLook and/or made to Open With TextEdit and lists all the Apple ones that Should be in the folder.
The Mountain Lion ones are here (TextEdit Copy)

After Effects Availability in Application Manager

After Effect does not appear in my adobe application manager. How can I make it available to Install?

If it is not visible then it is likely you do not meet or exceed the system requirements listed at http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/tech-specs.html.

What is the effective available disk space in exadata

Hi ,
Greetings of the day ,
Is the below understanding correct ?
In a half rack machine there are 7 cells and all are mirror copies of other , so the effective storage space = disk space in one cell .
Further if we have normal redundancy in each cell , then the effective storage space of the whole exadata will be half of the disk space in the cell.
Is there any rule that all the cells must have equal disk space?
In ASM perspective ,
Is there any rule like all the all the fail groups ( 2 or 3 depends on the redundancy level) must have equal size with in a disk group?

Is After Effects available in the trial?

Downloaded the Adobe Applications for downloading the apps
Don't see After Effects in the list
Is it available to try for the 30 day trial?
This is the main reason I started the trial.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
After Effects requires a 64-bit OS per the system requirements. That might be the cause. It is available as a trial on 64-bit system.

IPad photo booth -- is "colored pencil" effect available?

I like the "colored pencil" effect that is available on the Mac version of Photo Booth.
That effect does not seem to be available on the iPad2.
Is it possible to get the "colored pencil" effect when using the iPad version of Photo Booth?
Thanks in advance! I tried searching the forum but didn't find any prior discussions of this...
-Tom H.

Thanks Allan.
I was hoping there was a setting I had overlooked, or an app to download, or something. C'est la vie.
Thanks for the help.

No iChat effects

I've got Leopard and iChat 4 but the effects bar doesn't show up in the Video iChat window.
Initially I thought I saw it but I'm not sure. The first time my brother called I didn't see it. I don't see it in preview either.

Hi
They wont work on your eMac, Intel only.

Ichat Effects are no longer there ....

I have noticed that when I video chat with I Chat my effects tab is empty, but when I go to Photo Booth all my effects exist there. I was wondering how I can get the original I Chat effects back on my I Chat that came with my mac.
I have the new MacBook Pro 13" with OSX Lion

Hi,
Go to the Finder and the Go Menu.
Hold the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Open the Caches Folder.
Scroll down far enough to any lose items starting "QCCompositionRepository-com.apple.iChat.cache"
Certainly any that start QCCompositionRepository
Drag these to the Trash and restart the computer.

IChat stays available in Screen Saver

When I put my Mac on screen saver, iChat does not set my status to "Away". Is there a way to do this?

Hi James:
YES! You can set your away status when the screen saver starts by using a 3rd party application called ChaX: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28551

No blur and motion blur effect available in the spin blur gallery

I saw several videos where the new spin blur was demonstrated.They all had the option "blur effects & motion blur effects ( with strobe strenght, flashes etc...) but when I open the spin blur panel those options are not there.

hi Bijouz,
Resetting Blur Gallery should do the trick.
