Share screen using Skype and DVD

I am using Mac Book Pro with Yosemite. I need to teach using a DVD movie and Skype.
When I share the screen and click on the DVD I get a gray screen showing on the other
computer (PC Windows 7) I have not tried this with any other computer. I need to work this out soon!

ON a mac for sharing movies or anything else for that batter all you need to do is turn file sharing on in you system preferences. then click the options and check sbm. Then click in the box for you macbook . You'll be asked to inter your password. Then close and go to top of screen under go and click on connect to server. if the file sharing is on in the windows computer a pop up will show with that computer on it . select it and then you need to inter the name and password for the windows computer. I am not familiar with how to set up the windows computer for file sharing. I have never used, tried or even head of using skype to share a movie.

Mac Freezes When Using Skype and Watching Video

I have a Mac (OS X Ver. 10.6.8 Build 10K549) with 4 GB Memory and 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Processor. My Mac freezes, and requires a hard reset. **Everything** freezes, keyboard and mouse click no longer works. Sound may continue. This happens all the time I use **Skype** and sometimes when I watch **video** online. This happened before when I was using Mavericks. It reached to a point that I could not use my Mac. I basically installed **Snow Leopard** back again. Problem was solved until the last two days. I deleted and re-installed Skype. This did not solve the issue. Unfortunately, I could not find a solution to my problem after a research in these pages. Thanks.

I had the same problem but it seemed to stop after I installed a program called Caffeine that prevents your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. I haven't had a freeze-up as long as I have it enabled.

Here's a goodie - anyone know how to use Skype and...

I would like to be able to do a tour guide for a Filipino friend of mine that is living in the Cayman Islands. I want to be able to talk to her through skype as usual but be able to control her Google maps from my screen here in the US. I would like to be able to show her my town's places of interest. She's never been to the US and this idea might be the closest she will ever be if I can make it work.

There should be a plus when you are in call with her on the call screen. Click on that, then you should see "Share screens"
Click on Share screens, you should then be able to choose share desktop or share window. Share desktop means that she can see everything you do on any window or any tab. Share window means she can only see a certain program, even if you can't. Select what you want to do, then click start. You should see a red border around where you are sharing.
PS, if you are using a program e.t.c and it is in full screen, make sure it is windowed or borderless window

Can't use Skype and PhotoBooth at the same time?

I recently updated my Skype to the new version. I used to be able to have my camera on PhotoBooth and Skype working at the same time, however since I made the update I cannot. Depending on which programme I open first, the other will not work. If Skype is working, then the error message 'Camera offline' comes up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype and that has not solved the issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Never seeing this problem.
Are you using a MobileMe IMAP account or another provider and account? Is problem when using the Apple Mail application in OS 10.4.11 on your listed G5?

IPOD DVD using videora and dvd decryter

Can someone help me.
I followed the great advice on this disccusion page, and i downloaded the dvd converter and videroa converter. I converted a person DVD Hellboy and can see that its worked perfectly converted into MEG4. But and there is always a but when i tried to import it into Itunes video it does not work i get a pop up stating " cannot be imported it does not appear to be a valid export file"
anyone know why this is or what i need to do, this is the first time i have tried to convert.
Windows XP

Allen,
You use Apple's DVD Player application to play the DVD. Your question should be in the MacBook forum and will be moved.

HT4534 I installed facetime on my computer in May 2011. It worked great at first,but now the volume goes out when I am on calls.What can I do to stop this from happening? Its not my speakers,I have used Skype and Google+ and the volume never goes out.

The volume on my facetime goes out very frequently. I can hear the person just fine, but they can not hear me. I have checked my app store to see if there have been any updates to the version of facetime that I bought in May 2011 and it's not. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem?
By the way it is not my speakers. I have used Google+ and Skype, and they both work just fine and the volume does not go out.

Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that. To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle... Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

Using Skype and TeamSpeak at the same t

Exactly this is what I intend to do. Generally it is possible, some friends of mine using onboard sound are able to speak in Skype and in Teamspeak at the same time.
I myself use a Soundblaster Audigy Gamer - and I *can't* use both applications at the same time. I'm quite sure that it's possible since I once had a SB Li've running Half-Life ingame voicechat as well as Teamspeak at the same time. This is essentially the same: two programs open the same DirectSound input device at the same time.
I haven't found an option in the Audigy driver settings, neither my knowledge database search nor my forum search was a success.
How do I make my Audigy work like this?

Using Skype and Data Charges

Does using Skype use MBs against data plan? I went to use for first time and had to turn off WI FI for it to work and switched to 3g when I used it

Yes, data used over 3G counts as data against your allowance.

My mic is not recording my voice. I tried using Skype and another recording app and there is only static.

The mic on my ipad2 is not picking up my voice. I tried Skype and quick memo and all that records is static.

Dorothy-
It sounds like you have an internal problem with your iPad. It could be a loose microphone connection.
The only thing I can think of that might help, is to reset (reboot) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep button for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
I suspect this will not correct your problem, but is worth a try. You probably need to show it to an Apple Store Genius. You may get a new iPad on the spot.
If there is no Apple Store near you, search for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. In the US, <United States>. Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

Grey screen on final burned DVD, used Compressor and DVD Studio Pro 4

Trying to create a standard dvd from a 2 hour and 8 minute 720x480 mov file. I have used compressor to create a mpeg2 as well as an ac3 audio file. After looking at other posts, I feel that what i've done in compressor is ready to be imported into DVD Studio Pro. I changed my preferences in DVD Studio Pro to support my mpeg2 and ac3 files coming in from compressor. After I import, they import very quickly. The playhead lets me scrub through the video fine, but when I go to the simulator, I get a grey screen.
I'm trying to output this file onto a dual layered Standard DVD. The fact that my video was originally an HD mp4, converted into .mov should not matter once it's converted into an mpeg2, correct? Mpeg2 is the standard DVD format.
I've also messed with the markers in DVD Studio Pro because I've read that the Automatic settings for the "break layer point" are not that "Automatic" I've seen other posters saying to add markers in the gap where the DVD laser should switch from layer to layer, but still my output burned DVD and simulator remain a grey screen!. Please help, I've referred to many posts and I believe that I've done everything right except maybe one or two things. So Close! Help! Thanks!

What were the chamges you made?
Does the m2v file that Compressor output play OK in QuickTime?

Over bright screen using bootcamp and Windows X

My 24" iMac works great with bootcamp, but the screen is so bright it's unusable. The bootcamp control panel has a very limited control range and doesn't make the screen even close to dim enough.
I use Shades applet with Leopard when on the Mac side, and it works great.
Is there anyone out there who can suggest a similar program for Windows, or another way to further dim the iMac screen so it's usable under Windows in Bootcamp?
Thanks!

I wish you had follow my suggestion and called Apple to get a replacement set of original system disc.
The reason is that disc you order from Apple has only Snow Leopard version 10.6.3 and your Mac may need a later version of Snow Leopard, like 10.6.4, .5, .6 or .7 and that disc will NOT install the OS on your system.
Along with that the original system disc set contain a second disc for the iLife applications, "i" Photo, Movie, DVD, Web and Garage Band.
Without that second disc you can not install those iLife Apps unless you buy them from the Mac App Store at about $19.99 for each or the set of them on DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay.
And if you buy it from the Mac App Store you can only get "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band as Apple has stopped supplying "i" DVD and Web with the iLife Apps.
