Screen share and simultaneous web cam

Hi all,
I have a 7 day trial premium account. When I make a video call and then share my screen, my video feed is then turned off. Is this functioning as designed?
When looking for an answer to this question I was under the impression that both screen share and web cam (from one caller) could be used simulataneously.
I am using Windows 7 with Skype version: 6.11.0.102. My Skype app says this is latest version although it looks like 6.13 is now avaialble...
Thanks.

Can't access the web but can screen share and secure shell on my network???

Hi,
I don't know if this is relevant, but I installed a security patch along with a safari patch the other day and the next morning, I could not access the internet, however I can do things like screen share and ssh. I cannot however view internal websites on my network, whether I'm connected via airport or ethernet cable (attached to either time capsule or the modem directly). Whenever I try to go to a website in either firefox or Safari, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet and a "Network Diagnostics" button (which says it cannot fix my problem). Here is what I've tried:
-Repair Disk (everything OK)
-Repair Permissions
-Restart computer
-Turn Airport card off then on
-Restart modem and routers, one by one in daisy chain order (and then restarted computer)
-Tried different browsers
-Tried connecting directly to modem via Ethernet cable in addition to wireless
-Restored the System from a time-capsule backup from Sept. 6th (noticed the problem on the 10th)
-Turned off my firewall
-Created a new user account and tried it
-Let my computer remain off for a half hour
-Zapped the p-ram
Here's what I've confirmed I CAN'T do:
-Access the web via either Safari or firefox (haven't tried any other browsers)
-Access the Software Update Server
-My iCal calendars cannot access the webdav server
Surprisingly, here's what I've confirmed I CAN do:
-Ping other computers on my network
-Use the Screen Sharing App. with computers on my network
-Access the internet from every other computer on my network (4 of them)
-ssh to other computers on my network
I've been using my computer infrequently lately, and I'm not sure when the last time was I accessed the internet or for that matter when I performed the security patching, but I'm pretty sure it was within the last week and a half. I really don't want to try restoring from an earlier backup, but I'm reaching the end of my rope. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm fresh out.
Rob

The problem was either the Security Patch 2010-005 or the Safari update (though I don't have the version number in front of me). Note, I had ignored the iTunes 10 update. I assume that I must have miscalculated the date I performed the updates because the problem persisted after restore from a Sept. 6th backup off my time capsule.
I went to the Apple Store and they were able to restore full internet access by performing a 10.5.8 combo-update. When we ran Software Update at the Apple Store, the 3 updates were again there available for download, but I am going to ignore them all because of this issue. The people at the apple store agreed that it was the update which caused the problem.

ARD, screen share and a second monitor

I have a 2008 20 inch iMac and 13" aluminium macbook. I wanted to use the iMacs screen with my macbook and decided to get ard (as it was kind of cheap on the app store).
I was a bit disheartened when I found that, when controlling the macbbok from the imac, I couldn't make the window go full screen. I understand this was a resolution issue that couldn't be gotten around.
However did find out that if set used ARD's screen share (rather than the light version that comes with OSX) that I could get full screen by reducing the resolution of the iMac.
However when I plug an external monitor into the macbook it all goes wrong. If I am using the OSX version of screen share (light) then I can choose to show only one display. If I use the ARD version I don't have that option and can only view both screens.
What I had hope for was to be able to use the fullscreen capability of ARDs screen share with my macbook with a second screen attached, but only view the macbook screen on my iMac.
Is there a way of achieving this with ARD. Or am I going to have to try an alternative software?
Thanks
Gareth

The obvious choice for an Apple display is the 24-inch LED (backlit) Cinema Display. It as the same Mini DisplayPort connector, and it will give you a few more USB ports. But it as some extra features that may not be necessary for use with an iMac, such as its own iSight camera, built-in speakers, and a power connector for use with MacBooks. And it costs $899 retail. But it would certainly look nice next to an aluminum iMac.
http://www.apple.com/displays/
For a non-Apple display, there are many choices. They are generally cheaper. The standard digital connector is DVI. You can also use a display with a VGA connector, but DVI would be better if you are getting a new display. If your iMac is a 24-inch model, its built-in display has 1920x1200 native resolution. That would be a good choice for an external display, typically 23 or 24 inch. You can go all the way up to 2560x1600, which is typically a 30-inch display (including Apple's model). You can even get one with Dell branding that works.

Your choice depends on how much you can afford to spend and how big (in terms of resolution) you want it to be.

My battery is gone, screen destroyed, and possible front camera dammage!

I need help! iv got a 4th gen ipod touch model that's screen/digitizer has been destroyed, its battery was shorted from a cheap faulty charger, and possible front camera dammage because the copper tape connected to the metal plate behind the screen was ripped from the plate, I dont know if that harms anything. But my question is, Where can I send it to be fixed, can I? and how much would it cost me?
UNKOWN, LAST OPERATING SYSTEM

Apple may exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
The "may exchange" depends upon
If Apple determines that an iPod is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due catastrophic damage or the iPod has been disassembled into multiple pieces, then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPod will be returned. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

Airport base Station and Wireless Web cams

I just tried to take a free CNET online course that purported to show me, step by step, how to set up a wireless Web cam with an Internet connection. Yea, right. I found that it was totally geared to PC users and almost no information was provided for us. Even the suggested hardware manufacturers (Linksys) said they didn't support Macs.
I have Airport card and base station and need to set up 2-3 outdoor security cams around a home in a remote location. Can anyone advise me along these lines?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you considered using Security Spy? http://www.securityspy.com/
They claim to support many wireless cameras....but it doesn't appear Linksys is one of them. Linksys historically doest not provide any Mac support, and I have personally learned to no longer support companies that don't provide some type of Mac support. (I've been a fan of Linksys historically, untill recently)
I hope Security spy works for you - let us know how it works out.

Skype and cyberlink Web Cam

. I can see the other person during a skype call, but they can't see me. I have a new HP Pavillion Touchsmart 23

Hello pfierrobb:
You have to enable it in SKYPE. Open up Sykpe click on tools then select options . When that windows opens select video settings. Then you well see select webcam click on White box select your web cam choices. Windos 7 HP computers it is called HP web camra filter. I just close out the filter stuff if I am not using it during chat session. Some HP computers call it cybrlink web cam. If your web cam isn't listed yet the web cam still works in other applications your Skype software might be corrupted. Just uninstall Sykpe and reinstated it back with a new copy download http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ If you are still having issues please let us know. Thank you frrw.

Panda and other web cam viewing

Bought an Ellipsis 7 to travel with. How do I get it to display web cams from National Zoo, Atlanta Zoo and San Diego Zoo Panda cams? What browser and add-ons does the E7 need to display these views?

Hi RumbaRue!
It sounds fun to be able to view these types of web cams! Let's figure this out! Normally, if my tablet is unable to play videos or live cams, I get an error message that provides me with details as to what needs to be downloaded. I've had to download codec applications from the Market. Please check this out and take a look, thanks!

N97 scratch under screen cover and only used camer...

I have a nice little scratch on my camera lens from the slide protector thingy and ive only used the camera twice maximum.
Its really not good but doesnt show on photos yet!
Does this work as a warranty claim or can i go into a shop and get them too change the camera?/

As a consequence to that thread, I have also been extremely careful, removing the dust every time I opened and closed the camera-cover, but still I got a scratch within 2 weeks after buying the phone...

E-bay Isight and USB web cams.

Two questions.
If I am looking at an apple isight on ebay is there a way to tell how old it is by model #? is there a batch that I would want to pick over another?
Is there a link or web page that tells which usb webcams are most compatible w/ macs.
my laptop and desktop both need webcams
thanks for the forums help

The M8817LL started being sold around july 2003. The M9330LL was sold around Jan 2006. That makes it a newer version of the iSight external camera. Here are the links to Amazon for both cameras You can see the specs and differences there.

Isight compatability with PC and other web cam

I have just bought a powerbook and isight to use for VC abroad. I tried to conduct a VC with a friend who has a PC and it said that I did not respond. Can you use isight to VC with a PC or is it just apple to apple?
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi nmspickett and smokehouse
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
iChat will work with many cameras not just iSight.
MAc to PC need the PC to be using AIM 5.9 or Trillian whilst running XP. (AOL's Triton does not work with other Apps yet)
The AIM is free and the Trilian cost $25 for the Pro Video capable version.
AIM need setting up with Tuning These instructions work for AIM 5.5 as described in the link and AIM 5.9 but access to the 5.9 properties is via My AIM menu > Options > Properties and not as described in he link.
Both AIM and Trillian need enabling through the XP firewall. Service Pack 2 instructions here AIm is described but just do the same for Trillian.

What address i should i give to transmit and receive web cam image

hi
I want to Know what address and port i have to give send and receive the web cam

The IP address should be the IP address of the computer that should receive your transmission. If you want all the computers on your subnet to receive the transmission, then use 255 as the last number in your IP address. For example, "192.168.1.40" can be used for a point to point transmission and "192.168.1.255" can be used for all computers that are on your subnet. .
The base Port number can be any port number that is not in use by any other service on your computer. For example, you can use "22222". Make sure that it is an even number. The first media track will be transmitted from the base port number. The next track will go to base port number plus 2 and so on.
Regards
Praveen.

Flash player and second web cam

I'm trying to use a different webcam with adobe flash player. I'm not able to switch to the alternate webcam( which is a usb webcam). Anyone know how to do this? I've launched iChat to make sure it could see both iSight and the magic webcam, and it does allow me to use either one.
Thanks,
Glor

Hi Glor
I don't have an answer for you to get that webcam going with adobe flash player, have you been to:

Cant reset ipod touch... when i try to reset... the screen blinks, and it makes a camera sound ???/ any ideas

when i try to reset ipod by holding home button, and the lock button on top... my screen flashes and makes a camera sound... but my touch doesnt have a camera ???

hahaha what you're doing is taking a photo of your device screen..That's not actually a problem, That's Normal..
here's what you should do.
Try pressing the restart/off button only, wait for seconds until the "Slide to Power Off" appears. Do no press the home button. After you turned off your device, try pressing once the Power button again to turn your device On.

Screen Sharing and Talktalk UK

Apologies if this duplicates what others have said. I've spent a lot of time trawling through here but I'm wondering particularly if the problem I'm having might be related to talktalk, my dad's provider.
1. I have an intel iMac running leopard. Comcast is my provider.
2. I can screen share both ways with my father in law in Rochester NY. He's on Roadrunner and has a G5 tower running leopard.
3. My Dad is in the UK with a split new macbook running leopard. He's on talktalk. I can share my screen with him but HE CANNOT SHARE WITH ME. When we attempt to do this, "screen sharing with <me>" comes up on Dad's screen, and we both get the audio connection, but at my end the small window with "connecting" just hangs on the screen. Wheel goes around endlessly, etc.
Because I can connect both ways with my father in law, I am assuming the problem is at Dad's end (although I'm not sure). Here's what I've done:
1. Our quicktime streaming speed is set at both ends at 1.5 Mbps, although I've tried the default too.
2. Bandwidth is 500k at both ends, although we've also tried none.
3. Firewall -- We both added ichat as a specific app and this actually made things worse -- when I tried to screen share a "failure" message came up on screen, and we couldn't video chat either. We both then reset the firewall to Allow all and at least then we could video chat.
4. UPnP is on at both ends.
The only thing I haven't tried at his end is the stuff I've read on here about Anonymous Pings, but it's really hard to do this when dad doesn't really know computers and when I don't know what the Huawei (this is his router) menu looks like.
Dad also has an Apple airport router which he as yet has not connected up. I'm wondering if he installs this between the Huawei and the ibook things might improve (I'm hoping against hope, really!).
Any suggestions, folks? Any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks,
Dr D

My guess is that your problem is not with your set-up but with TalkTalk. In my experience talking to my parents, who are also on TalkTalk, they tend to throttle their network for non-web traffic to the point where it's barely usable (if at all). For us, iChat usually exits the connection attempt with an "insufficient bandwidth" error message.
We have had more luck with Skype, but obviously that does not help with your screen-sharing question. Other than trying to change ISP, all I can think of is to try "calling" at less busy times.

Problem in grabing images from two web cams

Hi
I am trying to modify single web cam capturing screen code into multiple web cam screen capturing. The method autoDetect() recognizes the web camera. I want to choose web cam by myself. I tried all devInfo from the list but it resulted no success. Always the first camera is selected . I use different cameras (Logitech and Genius). Please, how to detect both camera to work at the same time.
public CaptureDeviceInfo autoDetect ( )
        Vector list = CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList (null);
        CaptureDeviceInfo devInfo = null;
            if ( list != null )
            String name;
            for ( int i=0; i<list.size(); i++ )
                devInfo = (CaptureDeviceInfo)list.elementAt ( i );
                name = devInfo.getName();
               if ( name.startsWith ("vfw:") )
                                 break;
          ...The whole code is on: JWebCam

Here's source code I posted to capture a frame from one webcam.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=570463&tstart=25
Lots of people have problems with multiple cameras, something to do with the
Windows USB channels and failing to detect/select between the two.
So, capturing frames from 1 web cam is relatively straightforward, but you may have serious problems with two or more.
regards,
Owen
