Possible to use iPhone as external webcam with Sky...

I've got a mac running OSX 10.9.5, and an iPhone 5s running 8.1.2. Are there any iOS apps that allow you to (successfully) use your iphone as a webcam for Skype for Mac?
I say "successfully" because I've tried a number of suggested ones, and they don't work:
EpocCam by Kinoni - Skype won't recognize it as a video source
WebCamera by SHAPE GmbH/Mobiola WebCamera (same thing) - Skype won't recognize it as a video source
PocketCam by Senstic - Skype actually DOES recognize it as a video source, but there is a multi-second time lag in the video, so it's worse than having no video.
I even tried installing Skype 2.8 on my Mac (recommended in some posts on this forum), but was unable to get it to connect to the Skype network.
Anyone had any luck with any iOS apps?

Everything I had read so far says it's not possible.
What you have read is correct.
Anyone have any insight?
The iPhone simply does not have the Bluetooth profiles required to allow this.

How can i use a second external webcam on my MacBook Air 11

How can I use a second external webcam with my MacBook Air 11" 2011?
Are there specific compatible webcams?
Can both cams be use at same time?
How would I choose which cam would be the active one, for example with FaceTime or Skype?
Thanks for any tips.

Plug it in and launch the app you will use to run it.
paolo@spring wrote: ...Are there specific compatible webcams?...
Yes. In general, any current USB model (will meet the "UVC" standard) can work on any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.8 or newer.
More specifically:
(1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam. Some examples of current compatible cams are described at http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
(2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
(3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams. I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
paolo@spring wrote:... Can both cams be use at same time?...
Multiple cameras can be connected at one time, but asking your Mac to actually use (capture and process) more than one video stream at a time might cause processor and data bus capacity problems. The normal method is to connect your cameras and switch between them as needed, actually using only one at a time.

The software you use to operate the cameras controls that. For more info, start with the answer in this topic link.

Can I use a 2tb external drive with Time Machine to backup my Mac Mini (256gbSSD + 2tbHDD)?

Can I use a 2tb external drive with Time Machine to backup what I have on my Mac Mini?
My Mac Mini has one 256 SSD and one 2tb HDD. I want to use Time Machine to do a backup of everything.
Would an external 2tb My Passport Drive by Western Digital work for the backup?
It seems like it would not work because the total storage on the Mac Mini is 2304 gigabytes (SSD + HDD).
And the external Western Digital drive is only 2048 in gigabytes versus 2304 gigabytes the Mac Mini has.

No. A Time Machine backup drive should have at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. You would need at least a 4 TB backup drive for Time Machine.
Might I suggest as an alternative that you not use Time Machine but a third-party backup utility that simply overwrites older files with new ones such that the backup drive can be the same capacity as the drive backed up.
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup

with an iphone 3G the most up to date ios is 4.2.1 so you have a problem because whatsapp requires a higher version. If you saved an earlier version of whatsapp you could install that otherwise you cannot use the app. You will need to get a more up to date phone

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

How to use iPhone to sync Outlook with Google calendar?

This is a bit of a convoluted question, but I think there may be an answer using the iPhone as a go between. Here is the issue, I cannot get my google calendar and my Outlook calendar to sync with each other. I'm using Outlook 2011 on a macbook pro which is using 10.6.8. The macbook does not have iCloud services on it. I am also using an iPhone 5 which of course does have iCloud.
Before recently switching to an iPhone, I always used a Blackberry. I was able to get my google calendar events to appear in my Outlook calendar when I connected the Blackberry to my mac with a cord and selected "sync" in the Blackberry desktop manager. There were some issues with duplicate events on my BB calendar, but I could deal with that. For that set up, I had turned everything on to sync with as much as possible, including iCal.
Here is my current question. Now that I am using the iPhone, is there a way to make google calendar and Outlook calendar sync with each other? I would think this is possible, because my iPhone and my iCal have all the events from both calendars. Google is syncing with my iCal, and Outlook is syncing with my iCal. So, shouldn't the sync work in reverse as well? Does the iCal only receive events from these two sources but not also "export" events to these calendars as well?
And, is there a fix using either the iPhone or iCal to make both calendars appear in both places, as they do in my iCal and my iPhone?
Thank you!

In order to be able to order from the U.S. Online Store you need to have a U.S. credit card and the device has to be shipped to a U.S. address.

Using the same external drive with Time Machine on new mac?

I recently got a new mac because my old one broke. Thankfully, I had a fresh backup on Time Machine ready to restore onto my new computer. But when I try to use Time Machine with my new computer, it keeps wanting to do a whole new backup. It won't recognize the latest backup to only add new or changed files.
Here's a breakdown of my events:
new computer
restore Time Machine on new computer at install
want to continue using the external drive with Time Machine from where I left off (only adding new files since the last backup) on my new computer
Time Machine wants to do a whole new backup
Question: How can I continue to use my existing external hard drive with Time Machine on my new computer, picking up where I left off (not a new, complete backup)?
My old computer was Snow Lepoard, my new one is Lion.

That should have left a "trail" in your SystemMigration log, so Time Machine can figure out what happened and automatically "inherit" the old backups. But sometimes, obviously, that doesn't work.
Since it didn't, there's a chance you can do it manually. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Is it possible to use Oracle instead of DB2 with Netweaver Test-drive 2004?

Dear all,
Recently I ordered on SAP Knowledge shop the Netweaver Test-Drive 2004 DVD (the 32-bit version for Linux (Red Hat Enterprise)).
Before the installation I had already installed Oracle Enterprise 11g (Release 2). However the DVD installed both AS and DB2.
What I would like to ask is that is it possible to use my already installed Oracle database with Netweaver and
remove DB2 from hard disk?
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Is it possible to use XSS 2005 on EP7 with ECC 5.0 ?

Hi all,
I have an ECC5.0 and I want to upgrade my EP6 to EP7. I'm using XSS 2004 on EP6 and I want to use XSS 2005 on that EP7. I've seen on different notes that it is not possible to use XSS 2005 with ECC 5.0 as a back end.
Is there any solution to connect XSS 2005 to ECC 5.0 ??? Please I really need a positive answer
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
I have gone thru same problem in my last project but my situation was little different.
Actually Business Package of ESS/MSS has two components:
1. Portal Objects (iView, Roles, Pages etc )
2. XSS - The Java WebDynpro Code (which in turn contain 3 component SAP_ESS, SAP_MSS, PUSIC_GP)
Also the prerequisite is that we should have SAP_HR (will give HR functionalities in ECC) and EA_HR (contains RFC, structure required for XSS).
Now the restriction imposed by SAP is that SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS should be on same version and patch level. Make sense also. However there are situation where you can deviate from above restriction. (I will explain the same below).
So what you can do is to install the Portal objects(iView, Roles, Pages etc ) on EP 7.0 (can be installed on EP 6.0 and federated to EP 7.0), install XSS 2004 on EP6.0 (having JAVA 640) and connect the same with ECC 5.0.
You are looking to install Portal Objects, XSS 2005 on EP 7.0 and connect with ECC 5.0. This is possible but NOT recommended. Actually XSS 2005 WebDynpro will look for enhanced structures, RFC in ECC, which XSS will not find and will throw dumps (sometime java and sometime SAP dumps). You can fix the problem by manually installing the new functionality but believe me it is VERY cumbersome task and will make your system highly unstable.
What I would advise you is to look into your requirement once again and educate your end client with the problem and take appropriate action accordingly.
Do let me know if you need any further help.
Cheers,
AB

Any possiblity to use single Inbound Service Interface with multiple Receiver Agreements

Hi All,
Scenario: PROXY to FILE.
Requirement is to receive to two locations.
Is it possible to use single Inbound interface with multiple Receiver Agreements. I tried using two operation in the Inbound Service Interface, and Operation Specific in Determination. But couldnt proceed further. Do I need to use seperate Service Interface for two receiver locations?
Please suggest some solution.

Hi Naveen,
There is a possibility but in the case in the same server location with dynamic configuration: Placing file in two different directories using single receiver communication Channel
With different location you would need to develop a new adapter module as Amit Srivastava explains and develops here Send File to Two Different Locations using Adapter Module
