Running the Outdoor Camera on Batteries

The power adapter for the camera is 12V/1A, 100~240 VAC. Has anyone every run one of these off of a battery? My reason for asking is that I want to mount the camera in a work shed on the back of my property. There is no power in the shed and I had the thought that I would hookup a solar charged battery in the shed to power the camera. I know I could hook it to an inverter off the battery which, may be a better way to go as it would keep the camera from getting damaged if the battery were to supply too much or too little power.
Thoughts?

I found a web site which has specs on the outdoor camera.. It states that the camera takes 12v DC and 4.8 watts'' Now from college days, I (current) = P (power)divided by e(voltage).. So if you have 4.8/12 it comes to .4 amps or 400 ma.. So if you get a 12 volt battery rated at 500 ma that should do the trick.. actually, any 12v dc battery will do, it will only pull out of the source what it needs...

27in iMac very loud fan noise. 3hrs after setup and running the fan came on. Sounded like a jet taking off.

Brand new fathers day gift. The unit is cool to the touch. Air being blown out of bottom is cool. Shut down unit was what I found to get it to shut off. That worked. I get up this morning and wake computer from sleeping and immediately fan comes on. I'm thinking I should take it back. 2 days old but the amount of updating it needed to do it was prolly built months ago.

Tammy,
You can do a SMC reset. BTW the port on the bottom is the air intake, the exhaust is on the back on the upper left. However I'd recommend immediately contacting Apple Care. The machine should be OK right out of the box. You can find the contact information in your country at AppleCare Contact Info.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Indoor & Outdoor Cameras at Night

I have one of each linked to the system, both are located indoors. The outdoor camera seems to have better resolution. I'm assuming this is normal.
What I have noticed is the difference in function at night. I do not expect either of them to produce a picture at night but the indoor camera fades to black as night falls. The outdoor camera, in a dark room with no house lights on, switches to a reflection in the glass of the curtain that is behind the camera. It also looks like a row of lights appear at the top and bottom of the glass on the front face of the camera. I would expect the outdoor camera to fade to black also. Is this normal?
I don't see any way to attach a picture to this message so not sure if anyone else has seen this on their system.
Thanks

So, you have your Outdoor camera inside looking out through a window?
Those red lights on the camera go on at night so the camera can see in the dark. Because you have it (I'm assuming) inside looking out a window, those light are only illuminating the window glass and camera is then only picking up the surrounding items being reflexed in the glass.
For the outdoor camera to work properly their view must be unobstructed. The glass or every metal screening would cause an obstruction.
Here is a Daytime view of my back yard from one of my Outdoor Cameras.
And here is a Nightime view from the same camera
This was during a snow storm. See how the falling snowflakes are reflecting the light from the camera.

Outdoor Camera Range

Ok, here's the layout. I have my my router & HM&C box in my attic. It's an old house from the 40s and a simple wooden roof. When I had the router in th living room, my wifi signal didn't make it out of the house. But withi it in the attic, I get full signal at every conner of the property. Now, I put an outdoor camera on my shed, which is up a hill from the house so it is acyually level with the attic. The distance from the camera to the router / HM&C is 60 feet, max.
Now, my question is, what is the max distance that the outdoor camera can be setup, wirelessly? Is it communicating over it's own wireless network, back to the HM&C box or over the router's wifi?

What is there not to understand? My question is very simple.
What is the range of the outdoor camera?
When I responded to your inquiry one and a half months ago, I did not at that time think that my answer was overly complex:
" ... if the camera is able to connect wirelessly, it will provide some sort of image somewhere on your network. Are you seeing such an image on the device where you see images from your other cameras? If you are, then it works, and if you aren't, it doesn't ... "
You did not at that time specifically indicate whether you were interested in the optical range of the camera (i.e., coverage area), or the wireless range of its network radio circuit (i.e., ability to connect to the wireless router at a given distance). I still don't see that you've clarified that point, so I'll assume your are inquiring about a wireless connection.
Therefore, now nearly a month and a half later and having set up the camera at your desired location, I repeat: are you seeing the camera image on your monitor, or are you not seeing the camera image on your monitor?
Thanks.

"Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode. You must unlock the device to import them." My iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 and I'm using iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3

"Photos in the Camera Roll of "(your) iPhone" cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode. You must unlock the device to import them." That's the new error message when I plug in my iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 7.1 into the MacBook Pro running iPhoto '11 v.9.4.3. My Mac OSX is still 10.8.5.
So, I unlock the iPhone by entering the "passcode" before I plug it into the MBP and still iPhoto does nothing. At least it doesn't issue the error message above.
I've checked both iPhoto preferences and those for Photos and Camera in the Settings on the iPhone. There doesn't seem to be anything to change this lack of connectivity.
What next please?

An hour-long phone discussion with Apple Support yesterday solved this question and sorted a couple of others.
As for this one, do not ignore any messages which pop up when you plug in your iPhone and ask "Trust this computer?". The correct reply is "Yes", not "Cancel".
OK, you cancelled like I did, thinking "What on earth is this for?". Mistake. You can force the issue by having iTunes open when you next plug in your iPhone. Tell the iPhone that it can trust its old friend, your computer and voila! Your photos can download into iPhoto again.
Thank you, Jay with Apple Sydney, Australia!

I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

hello, my eyesight issue happens occasionally, from time to time i run multiple apps that use the isight camera. when i close each app the isight camera's green light is still active. When that happens the only way to stop the isight camera is to reboot.
Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
Thanks

(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
Any advice would be helpful

IPad Air running 8.2 - one of the two cameras shows very weird colors.

This started a couple weeks ago. The outward camera view shows very weird colors. I have looked on line for a solution and found a reference that said the 'live camera filter is stilled turned on' but I don't think live filters exist any more. ive tried everything I can think of. Attached is a screen shot when using the camera.
TIA

Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.

How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

There is a big difference between being a casual user than real work or development. I own a iPod its a great MP3 player and a device I can display my pictures on out of my pocket. I'll even Facetime my kids at time to see my grand kids or help fix something. My wife has a mini iPad for quick internet access and quire music and uses her iPod to entertain our two year old grandson with games. She uses a Canon 1D mark 4 and I a Cannon 1D mark II. The only use the iPad and iPod cameras get is Facetime. No iOS apps are use to work on images they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display. I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access. When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access. Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.
Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience. (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)
The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.
@bluebocat: Are you looking for text with a perspective? Like it has a vanishing point? As if it was turned in a certain direction in 3D space?

I keep running the firefox update but the next time I click on my firefox icon it opens an older version and asks me to update. What is going on?

I downloaded and ran the update to Firefox. It said it was successful and then the welcome page etc. came up. However, after I had closed down and started up again the "old" version came up when I clicked on the Firefox icon with the usual comment that I have an old version and should update. I have tried this three times with the same result. I have a Compaq Presario 2200 laptop.
What am I doing wrong?

If you use the www.google.com/firefox site as home page that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page then you can ignore the message about not using the latest Firefox version on that page. 
Google no longer seems to maintain that page. 
The text about not running the latest Firefox version is in the code of the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page and it looks that Google no longer maintains that page. 
Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. 
Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update. 
You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).

Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.
