[partly RESOLVED] Skype problems with webcam

I bought Omega C91 webcam (t works on uvcvideo driver). It worked out-of-the-box with all camera applications, except Skype. In Skype options i have my camera on list ("Vega USB 2.0 Camera (/dev/video1)"), but clicking on "Test" causes
Skype Video Capture: Cannot open device '/dev/video0': Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 0
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
in console and no image.

Use the search feature and type in Flash and there are like thousands of posts on this.

Problem with webcam capture

Dear all,
Using the Peter Parente's "webcam capture" library (Webcam Continuous Capture.vi), I faced some problems. In fact instead of showing for example one 320*240 picture it displayed some smaller pictures with some other parts of the picture indicator left blank(black).
What's the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

Hello Smal,
I did a search for this library and it looks like it was developed some time ago. The FAQ on the download page seems to indicate that you need to make sure that your acquisition parameters in Windows and LabVIEW need to match in order for this to work properly. There was also a data type change between Vision 6.1 and 7.0 so that could be related, but it sounds more likely it is something else.
If your camera is DirectShow compatible and you have Vision, you can try IMAQ for USB. This, like Peter Parente's Library, is not actively being developed or supported by National Instruments Applications Engineers, but you may have some more luck, assuming you are using more recent versions of LabVIEW and Vision.
If there is a problem with a specific VI, please try to narrow down where the problem is occurring. You may be able to post an image that might indicate how the library is failing.
I hope this helps! Good luck with your application.
Regards,
Angela
Applications Engineer

Skype problems with Airport Extreme after update

I use Skype to call regular phones and landlines. For over a year now it has worked well with my Airport Extreme, however, I noticed that around the same time I updated my Airport utility to 5.5.2 and Mac OS X update on 1/7/11 I am having problems with audio getting scrambled, the person on the other end dropping out, and my voice dropping out of their calls and the sound of me "being in a long tunnel," as they describe it. If I plug the ethernet directly into my computer there is no problem so I know it is the Airport base station.
I have tried plugging and unplugging the base station and I had comcast reset my cable modem but nothing seems to be working. I have 12 mbps internet so I know it is not a bandwidth problem.
Please help! Thank you!

Indeed I have the same problem. I ended up buying a new router because I thought mine was malfunctioning. After buying the latest generation Airport Extreme, turns out it's having the same problem. I agree that it was not a problem until 5.5.2. Also, I use YouSendIt constantly and it also chokes the Airport Extreme. It appears to happen in scenarios of high bandwidth usage.
5.5.3 maybe coming soon?

Skype: problems with birthday's alarms

In skype every time it informs me about a birthday of one of my contacts, the application turns off immediately. and i have to reopen it every time, but i can't use the chat with these contacts never again, otherwise it turns off again. I ask help to Skype assistance, but they couldn't help me. any idea?

Same problem.
Skype loads normally apparently.
I can see my contacts, everything looks good.
I then select a contact and click to start a call.
The animation starts as if its calling, but its not ringing.
The other party receives no call either
I press to end the call, no effect
Restart the computer, no effect
I go to end the task, there are 2 instances of skype running
The first one ends the GUI, but my web camera is still active
The second task can not be killed!
If I only kill the one task, loading skype again tells me that I am already logged in with this computer.
The "fix" mentioned about renaming the Skype folders in the appdata and temp directories is only temporary, and requires a reboot anyway.
Microsoft really needs to stop ignoring all these bugs and finally fix them. They keep spitting out new versions of this without first fixing the bugs of the previous versions.
I have similar issues with my Android phone, where I can not make or receive calls, and only receive texts, I can not send. Its getting tiresome.
I think I'm just gonna go with Jitsi to be honest, much more stable than Skype. Never had any problems with it, and you can have multiple video calls without paying. Just got to convice everyone else to do the same.

Reinstallation for IOS skype. problems with groups and contacts

I was having a problem with Skype on my Iphone; new messages wouldn't load, and if they did it was around 10 minutes after they sent them. So I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. As soon as I logged into my account I realized most of my contacts didn't have a profile picture, nor did it have our conversations. It also got rid of all my skype groups; I still got notifications for those groups, but if I clicked on them it would bring me to a page saying that it's an empty group. Also if I get on skype on my laptop everything is fine, I still have my groups, my contacts all have pictures and our conversations are still there. I tried to reinstall it on my phone again, but this time all my groups were still gone, but different contacts wern't complete. Because I still had the contacts I tried to send a message on of my contacts that didn't have a profile picture and although it said it sent, I never got a reply. So I got on my laptop and asked if he got it, and he said he didn't. Is anyone else haing this problem? If so do you know how to fix it? Thank you

Ok I just talked to support via chat and apparently this is a known iPhone mobile App issue. This is exactly what he said to me: "I was informed that this issue already have a ticket to our engineers and they are already working on this one. This has something to do with the latest version of Skype for tablets and mobiles. We may release another version of Skype app so once an update is avaialble, update the app on your phone ASAP." Hope this ease some frustration.

How i resolved my problems with FP 8.0.24

Hi guys,
(first, sorry for my awful english, i'm french <g>
I'm lurking in this forum for few days now and i see there is
always problems with 8.0.24 for many of you. I'll describe
how i resolved my two problems with FP 8.0.24 on 2 computers
(XP Pro SP2 Full retail and XP Home SP2 OEM) :
First problem (appeared on 2 computers) :
On limited account, no flash.
Solution : easy, just follow :
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=624850b5
Second problem (just on XP Pro, certainly because i tried to
uninstall + re-install
the product while trying to resolve the first problem) :
Few days later, i noticed that some Flash don't work on
some website (i.e. : youtube : no video), but works on some
others ???
(and also that install page on macromedia website was looping
endless)
After hours, i noticed that during 8.0.24 re-install, some
errors (mainly
"access denied") occurs (thanks to regmon utility) and i
found the problem :
On the 4 keys (and sub-keys + values), some permissions was
denied to
"everyone" group :
http://cjoint.com/?eqdmhPGYwN
-red circles added-
(it's important to remember, in the following explication,
that "DENY" have
always priority on "ALLOW"...)
And what's the problem with "everyone" ?
Oh, nothing really important <g>...
"Everyone", is just... everyone !
If you set :
1) DENIED write to EVERYONE
and
2) ALLOW write to ADMINISTRATORS
then administrators write permission is... DENIED
Then, how do i corrected this ?
(works for first and second problem)
Simple, for each of the 4 keys in
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=624850b5
(don't use [advanced] authorization stuff) :
1) i deleted "everyone" line (to clear rights)
2) i added "everyone"
3) i allowed "read" for "everyone" (don't touch to deny, nor
allow write)
the result (in french) :
http://cjoint.com/?etsyFBJyxd
And now i registered flash8b.ocx (or flash8a.ocx) like this :
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash8b.ocx
reminder : if you reinstall FP, check this rights again.
Cheers

Spoke too soon. It didn't work, it just works for longer
periods before it crashes.
I was able to insert images into a number of pages after
recreating the cache but got to some library files that it crashes
on every time still. But other library files and other site
profiles work fine when inserting images.
Also, the other solution suggested above to disable visual
themes did nothing to resolve my crashes.
Also, I heard from someone else in another thread they
thought it was due to using the cache in the first place. Although
I use the cache on all my site profiles.
After turn off the cache and restarting DW, it still crashes
while inserting graphics. The crash isn't exactly at the same time
every time. Sometimes its immediatly upon clicking the okay button
on the image browse dialog box, sometimes it inserts the image into
the page then terminates, sometimes it terminates a few seconds
after the image is inserted. But it's always related to using the
insert image dialog.
It's back to using XP now.

Has Apple resolved the problems with the 23" display?

I want to buy a 23" cinema display but the color problem (pinkish hue) seems to still exist. Has Apple still not resolved this problem?
If this is the case, I'll buy the 20" display which I believe does not have any problems. Can someone confirm this?

There has not been any indication from Apple that any chnages have been made in the displays other than price cuts. There were some minor spec changes (which were "un-announced") but nothing about the panels or the many issues that have been discussed here since the introduction of these units.

Skype Problem with recording device

After the windows 10 update it keeps saying "Problem with recording device" my camera works but, my microphone doesn't it worked fine before. The thing I use is a really old camera I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Due to the age of the camera and lack of support from Creative your options are limited. I would suggest you connect the device directly to a free USB port on your machine. If you share it with several devices on a hub or extension the device can easily work intermittently. That type of issue can cause the audio to fail to be initialized, creating the problem. This can also occur if the audio half or both halves of the camera/cabling is intermittently failing as well. You have the option of switching to the generic Microsoft Video and Audio drivers to see if that helps as well. Below is a graphic on you how to update the drivers to the generic "USB Video Device". You can do the exact same thing for the audio half of the camera by updating it to "USB Audio Device" (which is what you might want to try first in this scenario).

If I upgrade to Leopard, will it resolve the problems with my iMac?

I have one of the first intel-based iMacs that came out. I bought it in January of 2006. Is it having problems because there may be bugs in it?...since it is one of the first intel-based iMacs. Some problems that I have are: Safari freezes like crazy, iTunes freezes occasionally, Mail will sometimes shut down for no reason, iPhoto freezes, and sometimes the overall performance of the computer is slower than what it should be. I have plenty of hard drive space available, so I don't think that's the issue.
If I upgrade to Leopard will this resolve these problems? Or will it just slow my computer down even more? If that won't solve the problem, what else can I do to speed my computer up, and stop things from freezing?

Upgrading to Leopard in itself will not fix your system problems. However the act of doing a clean or Archive install of the system whether it be 10.4 or 10.5 could very well resolve your issues. So it's not necessarily the fact that you are upgrading rather doing a clean install. My recommendation would be to try and figure out your issues first then decide whether you want to upgrade or not.
How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? Have you installed all of Apple's software updates? A good starting point is to open up Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility select the hard drive on the left(the Mac OS X Volume) and click Repair Disk Permissions then Verify Disk. Repairing the Permissions is something that should be done often as regular maintenance and Verifying the Disk checks the volume directory for errors. If it finds any problems you will need to boot up the the install disk and run Disk Utility from there in order to Repair it. Afterwards Go to the Apple Menu/System Preferences/Startup Disk and make sure that the Mac OS X volume is selected as the startup system.
