Using FaceTime For Clients in Travel Company

We own a travel agency in Canada with clients across Canada and US - We would like to use faceTime interact with our clients. Is this possible?

Hi there,
Tagging was an error on my part! Your assistance is helpful and appreciated. We have Facetime up and running on several agents computers. I was wondering if it is a viable way to communicate (via video) with clients. I appreciate that only Mac, Iphone, Ipad & Itouch users can use this service. Also aware that they (client) would have to add us to their 'Contacts List!'
A large hotel chain in the US (Starwood) offers Facetime by their clients calling a toll-free number. When I call this same number it does not work from my Mac computer (i verified this number does work by calling it!).
... http://www.starwoodhotels.com/alofthotels/newsevents/news/detail.html?mode=press ReleasesDetail&id=FaceTime01102011
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
P.S. All of our agents would be suing their iMac for Facetime interaction!.

Client Server program using Applets for client

Creating a client server program using Applets for the clients.
Having problems distrubting the message from client to client
using ObjectOutputStreams/ObjectInputSteams.
I can connect each client to simple server and respond with by writting
the i/o stream of each client but unable to communicate from client to client. If any one out there has in tips of creating a class of objectOutputStreams that holds a array of ObjectOutputStreams and then broadcasts the message to every client, it would be much appreciated
Thanks.

Cheers poop for your reply
I never explained the problem properly. What it is I am trying to set up a Client Server program using Applets as the clients GUI. The problem is broadcasting the message to multiply client connnection(s).
Below is code, each client can connect and send message to the server. The problems is broadcasting the message to every client connection. The every client can input a message but only the last connected client can receive the message?????? Thanks in advance..

Can I call an iPhone (international number) using FaceTime for Mac?

I have a MacBook Pro. My husband, who's stationed in Okinawa, has an iPhone 4 with an international phone number. If we are both in a wifi area, does FaceTime for Mac work when calling an international number??

Yes.
Note that iPhone must be using iOS4.1 (or later) to FaceTime to Mac (or iPod touch).
On your Mac in your wi-fi area, click "Contacts", find and click on his iPhone's number. If he is connected to compatible wi-fi, he will get your invitation.

Mac Pro with External Camera use FaceTime for Mac?

Any ideas what cameras will work with a Mac Pro that does not have Isight camera? Can I use a Camcorder or still camera that takes videos?

I use a LogiTech C910 1080 HD Video webcam on my MacPro 8 core and it works great. BestBuy sells them for $79.95 and on sale this week for $10.00 off.. great camera for the price. Also works with iMovie for short clips.
I just downloaded FaceTime for the Mac and installed it.. called myself using my iPhone 4 and works like a champ.
It has built in stereo microphone but I use a separate Plantronics USB headset for better sound and listening when talking with someone on Skype or any other video chat.
CAUTION..If you do test it using your iPhone (in the same room) watch out for the FEEDBACK through the speakers.. be ready to hit the MUTE button on your iPhone or you will get reverb loud and real fast. And it even mutes iTunes when a call comes in.. and when you hang up iTunes comes back up..pretty cool.
The Logitech C910 doesn't say it will work on a Mac (on the box, it only says Windows) but it does and works just fine. Plus there are other drivers on their web site for the Mac and other cameras.
Hope this helps..

Have been using FaceTime for long time with same person, for the last two weeks when trying to connect, we get connection failed message, something change in settings that we should look at?

Now getting FaceTime failed message when trying to connect with a person that were connecting successfully with up unto two weeks ago, has something changed?

Take a look around you here in this forum. Many people are talking about having problems using FaceTime. A few users claim to have contacted Apple and Apple says that they are aware of an issue with FaceTime and that they are working on it.
Some users claim that upgrading to iOS 7 solved there problem with FaceTime. Take a look around the forum and read some of the other discussions.

Why not keep Forms Central as a separate product to stand and sell on its own. I use it for client information to process their data-ptocessing in my mailing business; do not need or want electronic tabulation. I would be happy to pay several hundred doll

I use a Forms Central form to ask questions of clients to return with their mailing database; tabulation is not wanted or required. From the answers and boxes marked, I have most or all the information to process data in accordance with the United States Postal Service. After, I return the data and paperwork including eDoc worked so that my company wins, the US Postal Service and my client (and possibly their client) wins! If Forms central was simply an interactive forms builder used for direct B2B or B2C information, it would be a winner. If I wanted SurveyMonkey, then would get it but I and others like me do not need or want tabulation services as I assume Adobe looked at Forms Central as a cash cow; it isn't that at all for me.

Can I use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST for customer clearing(inter company)?

Hi,
We were getting errors for object type. Object type is a mandatory field and it is not taking "BKPFF", "VBRK" and other object key as a valid object key( Check is present in SAP Include LACC9F20 for object type). We have created a new object type in TTYP table and passed in this BAPI "BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST " . Is this is a correct approach?
After this correction when we try to post clearing document using BAPI, getting error :- "FI interface: Small difference * USD 30 cannot be distributed".
We are passing parameters :-
Document Header :-
OBJ_TYPE ( Passing manually created entry of TTYP)
BUS_ACT( RFBU)
DOC_TYPE(YD)
Other entries which I am passing are OBJ_KEY, OBJ_SYS, USERNAME, COMP_CODE, DOC_DATE, POSTNG_DATE, FISC_YEAR, PERIOD.

Do you have any solution for this error? kindly suggest.

Using FaceTime for first time on mini iPad

When I verify my apple Id to use face time, it goes back to sign in page for FaceTime. I have checked my apple Id and it says it is verified. If I use another device to try FaceTime myself it says my email address is not available to FaceTime.
The apple website shows illustrations for set up showing FaceTime on off button. When I go into FaceTime icon on my mini iPad I do not have an on off button.

Hello,
Here is an Apple help article on this issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
I hope that helps.

Using PDFs for client proofs

As a graphic artist, I need to send proofs to my clients.
I start with Illustrator files (which also use some Photoshop bitmaps) and send PDF proofs to clients. However, when I send these proofs, I see now that the client can still pull out my vector art if he opens them in Illustrator.
I tried turning off the check box that reads, "Create PDF Compatible File" when I first save the file. I also make sure I save my PDFs as "Smallest" File Size," and make sure the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" box is unchecked. But when I open the PDF proof in Illustrator, the file has one layer but many, many selectable vectors.
Is there a way to protect my art from theft and at the same time let the client review a PDF proof?

Thanks Aandi and graffiti,
Yes, contractually is ideal and I am covered on that account. But once a client is tempted to grab those graphics and reuse them without sending me new business it is unpleasant to enforce without making them a little grumpy. I guess either way I will loose business. Its kind of like locks on doors, they only keep honest people honest.
Exporting to bitmap was the way I was going to go but the PDF preview is nicer to inspect the fine print when zooming in if it remains mostly vector.
Oh well, its a rough world out there. I just wanted to check and see if there was a better solution to this dilemma.
Thanks.

Using cloud for client content download?...

I remember reading when signing up for cloud about using cloud to post files for others to download. I read it as though it could be used in the same fashion as yousendit. I see where you can create folders and post files, however I don't see anything regarding security or passwords. Did I misread this or am I not looking in the right place?
Thanks to all for reading.

Currently you can only share individual files and not folders. Also a file is either private (only accessible to you) or public (accessible to anyone who has the url). Improved sharing and collaboration are coming as noted in this Creative Cloud blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

Client & server can use different language when using socket for client/ser

When building client/server applications using socket , is it that client and server do not need to use both Java as long as they implement the same networking protocol?
Thanks a lot!

thank you, DrClap!

This is a bit of information for folks that use Robohelp for Word.

I know this is all a day late and a follar short but for those folks that still use Robohelp for Word:
If your company is going to Windows 7, X5 will not work. You need to bump it up to at least RH8.
Even after you upgrade, if you use the tripane (winhelp_2000) view in RH for Word, it will not work on Windows 7 even with the microsoft patch. With the patch it will look like an older version of RH in winhelp_4. At least I have not been able to get it to display.
What will work is if you compile it in Webhelp. You will loose some links. I know I should be moving to Robhelp Html and I tried, but when I did that I got a lot of garbage at the top of all my topics, I lost all my external links and I would have to retrain my partner...
Now about links. My only complaint about Robohelp for Word was it's limited external linking capacity. If you use RH for Word you know you can only brouse to the net or to an htm or html document. It doesn't mean you can't link to a PDF or an excel spread sheet. You just can't brouse to it. You can manually enter the path. I just changed 740+ htm links to pdf links (pdf in same file as htm and the names were the same except for extension) and it worked. If you intend to try this back up.
Anyway, if this helps anyone great..if not thanks for letting me babble. I like my Robohelp for Word in Webhelp format.
Peggy Theo.

Thanks for posting this Peggy.
It is worth adding that there is another way of continuing to work with Word - using Linked Documents in RoboHelp HTML. You create Word documents entirely independent of RoboHelp and then create topics by linking those documents in a RoboHelp HTML project.
You cannot create WinHelp that way but WinHelp is on life support and requires users to download a viewer, you cannot distribute it. It really is time to move on from WinHelp.
RoboHelp for Word is not getting much development and does not get the new features being added to RoboHelp HTML.
Linking is covered on my site.
