Using the webcam with MSN

When I bought my Macbook I thought I would be able to use the built in webcam on MSN Messenger, but after three months I am still failing to find a way... Is it possible, or is the webcam only compatible with iChat?
Thanks for you help!

there are a few ways for ichat... such as a .mac account (you have to pay as well as the other person needs a mac with .mac account too), you can use AIM on ichat.. and the other person (PC user) just needs an AIM account as well... there is a chat program called skype.. which you both would need.. and another one that i know is using jabber in ichat.. there are many steps to set up jabber to function as msn and you get to use the webcam function

I can't use the webcam with iChat

Hi all,
The problem is:
I can speak using the video with a person who is in Barcelona but I can't speak with another who's in London. My other partner, whos's in Barcelona, can't speak with him (I'm in Spain too). So the problem it's not from our system, it's from him. What could be the problem?
He's using a broadband Internet conexion and a router. Could be a problem with the ports?
That person who's in London can't speak with other people who's from his country.

Hi Oleguer,
I need this sort of info
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=506836
This list are some of the "normal" devices out there
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
I was wondering if you had a Thomson Alcatel Speedtouch modem/router combined device as theses are fairly popular on the Continent. They are also popular in Australia.
The main problem when one person can not contact anybody is that they have not set up their Mac or their connection devices to alow iChat access to the internet.
The second most common problem is that people use Port Forwrding or other NAT based port openings like DMZ or Port Triggering and there is conflict with the way their Buddies device is doing NAT.
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page15.html#CertainBuddy
For this reason we suggest using UPnP where possible.
The latest issue is that some newer modem and wireless routers that do MIMO or are called Pre-N devices are not liked by iChat
MIMO stands for Multi In - Multi Out. The device my have more than one ariel to produce better wireless cover
Pre- N are wireless devices attempting to predict the next stage in Wireless protocols. Currently we have 802.11b and 802.11g
He should start here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406147
And here http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page16.html to see if he has set things up and eliminate possible problems (particularly updating from Panther.

Satellite A300-22F - Face Recognition can't use the webcam on Vista 64

Hello everybody,
I've got a big problem with the Face recognition tool and my operating system Windows Vista.
Yesterday I installed Windows Vista 64bit on my new Sat. A300-22F Notebook because the preinstalled
version of Windows was only 32bit and I've got 4gig of RAM.
So, all drivers are installed and all works. The webcam driver with the webcam program works, too.
But when I start the Face Recognition tool, an error appears that the webcam can't be initialised or that
the webcam is in use and cannot be used at the moment with the program.
So, no program uses the webcam. The webcam works with other tools. And in the settings of the face tool
are the webcam still available, but without working.
Anyone an idea?
I've got the webcam drivers directly from Toshiba.
Thanks.
Greetings.

Hi!
Do you have start up programs that uses the camera like Skpye or MSN?
Check this!
Are you using the newest version of the Toshiba drivers and tools? Look on the Toshiba website for an update.
Furthermore I would try to update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba website:

How can i use the webcam in the VMware fusion?

I am using Windows XP with VMware fusion in my MacBook( OS X 10.5.1). Everything is good except the webcam. I have no idea how can I use the webcam(built in MacBook). Can someone give me more information about that? Thanks a lot!

Not sure I quite understood your question? However, I am running Win XP in VMWare Fusion an all the peripherals such as Bluetooth, IR Receiver and the webcam are identified as USB device and are therefore supported. No problem to use it with Messenger, Skype or Trillian. The only thing you have to do is to click on one of the small USB symbols in the lower right corner of the VMWare status line in order to enable it for the use in VMWare. That's it.
Hope this helps to fix your problem

I can't use the webcam

I've bought my i-mac 1 month ago; at the begenning all was working, but now, i can't use the webcam anymore. It works' (green light on) but the screen stay black with photo booth, skype or other software.I have repared the permissions, downlowed OSX 10.5.1 again, repared the permissions again.
it doesnot work anymore.
I have also restarted the SMC
Thank's

Welcome to Apple Discussions, jean-louis
First, disconnect any peripherals, restart your Mac, and test again to see if you might have conflicts with other devices you have added to your system. To simplify troubleshooting, leave all unnecessary peripherals unhooked until you get your iSight working again.
If the above does not resolve your problem, next try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article.
Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific".
If you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting, see this Help article.
If iSight works with any app in any use account, iSight is NOT your problem. If this is the case and you post back for other suggestions you can try before you seek professional help from your Apple Service Provider, list which apps work with your iSight and which do not. Also tell us if the problem is EXACTLY the same in EVERYH user account you tried.%ensp;Finally, tell us whether you have added any software to your system since your iSight worked correctly.

Can't run the webcam with MAX and LV12

Hi,
I would like to configure and run a webcam via Measurement & Automation Explorer and Labview 2012.
I am working in windows 7 Ultimate (64bits).
Labview: 2012 (32bits) V 12.0f3
MAX: V5.3.3f2
Vision Acquisition Software: 2011
I installed Labview 2012 without issue. Then i installed Vision Acquisition Sofware 2011 to have the library neccesary for the webcam. But, before the end of the installation. I got this error screen ( see bellow Windows_Firewall_Might_Be_Enabled.jpeg): WARNING: Windows Firewall Might Be Enabled. So, i tried to turn OFF, turn ON my Windows Firewall. I have still had the same error screen even if I tried to reinstall Vision.
Any ideas about this issue?
Then I ran Measurement & Automation Explorer, go to Devices and Interfaces and NI-IMAQdx Devices. I can see my webcam ( Logitech HD Webcam C270). Double click on it. And i have the first error screen :cwimaq Errors loading control. The default settings for the control will be used. Then this error message: cwimaq Error creating default control. And i have a Unexpected Error (see picture bellow). I tried couple times to restart the computer. But It is still the same issue. So, I really don't know why it is doing that. Any ideas?
And when I run Labview and try to go in propreties of Vision Acquisition Express: Labview displayed : Unable to view properties.So I can't use my webcam with Labview for the moment. Furthermore, I downloaded ni_imaq_usb_installer_86 to get the good library for the usb.
Thanks for helping me,
Best regards,
Francois

So, I am thinking this is probably my issue. Because I installed Labview 2012 but my VDM is 2011.
Anybody has already installed VDM 2011 on Labview 2012, and it is or not working?

L655-S5154 Freezes when using the webcam

I completely rebuild my laptop with the restore discs provided by Toshiba. I also installed all of the drivers that Toshiba support pointed me to. After the rebuild the laptop runs great except when I use the webcam. Whenever I use the webcam after about 3 mins the whole system locks up and you have to do a force restart to get it going again. After having this happen a few times I noticed that right before the unit freezes it makes a buzzing noise. If you end the webcam session when you hear that noise the unit doesn't freeze and it's functional until I shut it down. I used the drivers Toshiba told me to use, why is this happening only when I use the webcam?

DEAD BATTERY!!!! Removed dead battery, performed without a flaw, replaced the battery, froze up... Who knew????

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

I restore my iPhone 4S on iTunes and then when restarted it is asking for valid SIM card and I don't have SIM card for that, I was just using the iPhone with wifi, any one can help? Please.

Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I bought the iphone 4s about a year ago, he was not new. The seller told me that he did the factory unlock, but he lied. Now I live in Russia and want to use the iPhone with a local GSM sim card.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

How can I use the DBAdapter with SequencingPollingStrategy in OSB Cluster?

Hi!
I have a OSB cluster. I need to read a view with the DBAdapter. I use SequencingPollingStrategy to implement the adapter.
Then I import it into OSB and make it work and the service works normally in the single node.
But if I import it into OSB cluster, the service always read the duplication records from the view.(the Distrbute polling is not worked in SequencingPollingStrategy )
So how can I use the DBAdapter with SequencingPollingStrategy in OSB Cluster?
Thank you!

Nope. Version 5 is a fashion accessory: it looks like software, but it doesn;t actually do anything. Sort of like a sports car with a lawn-mower engine. Looks snzzy. Doesn't really work. (And given how buggy it is, I should further specifiy that the lawn-mower engine comes with a blade: it chews up your old templates, produces files that cannot be sent as email attahcments [yes, really], and—this just in—doesn;t play well with the new SMB facility of Mavericks. In short, as one reviewer put it, "un unmitigated disaster."

How to use the namespace with a parser?

I want to use the namespace in my project. For this reason, I use a sample
from
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/sax/7b_pe.html
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/dom/5_ns.html
to test my understanding.
The slideshow2.dtd refer to the definition in 'xhtml.dtd'. Because in these
two files, they all use the 'title' as the element names. To solve these
conflicts, The namespace is used to qualified the one in slideshow2.dtd.
But the parser still complain that the 'title' in slideshow2.dtd is declared
more than once.
I use apache's Xerces.
I want to know if Xereces realy support namespace spec. now, or how to use
the namespace with a parser. Can anyone kindly tell me where to find some
material that demo the use of namespace in Java program.
Thanks for any help!!!
