Using Web camera with Yahoo

My granddaughter and her children wants us to get on line with our WEB cameras so that we can talk. She uses Yahoo and sent me an invite to join her group, which I did. Last night we went on line and I could access her on camera, but she could not access me.
After reading everything, and looking at the FAQ it appears that I must take steps to set up a web camera program. I would like to use the in line sight camera that is part of this computer, also a part of the lap top. I have not been able to find the instructions on how to make the camera active for web chatting with the Yahoo program.
Can any one help me out???

Hello Fred,
Judging by the Yahoo! Messenger for Mac page, it doesn't appear that you can talk and use the video at the same time:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/features/webcam/
"A webcam (web camera) allows you to share live video images of yourself (or things near you) while you are instant messaging with a friend..."
Instant messaging being the same thing as text typing to each other. If you want to have a true video chat with your granddaughter, you would both be best off using [Skype|www.skype.com].

Using web cam with a Mac Pro

Hey All... Was hoping to get some pointers on get a web cam working on a mac pro so that I can use jabber to video chat from it. Any special brands that I would look at? Today at the local computer store looked like everything said yes to Windows but nothing mentioned OSX compatibility... Thanks for any posters

I read recently that these USB video class devices now all work with OS X (though perhaps only with 10.4.10 or later) without the need for any software to make them work in iChat and PhotoBooth and apps like that.
Of those cameras it seemed to me that the Microsoft Xbox Live Vision was both the cheapest and best looking so I bought one.
It works perfectly and quite surprisingly doesn't look too bad either (the 'XBOX 360' logo is almost invisible). I was hoping to get a real iSight and was even prepared to pay the $300 they seem to go for these days but at the time I decided to get one I couldn't find any on Ebay or Amazon. I'd recommend the Xbox camera, it's easily good enough.
Having said that, I don't think I've heard of any apps that enable video chat through Jabber with OS X (or any other OS from memory). Which app were you going to use? Please enlighten me...

Using web cam with skype but not receiving image from PC

I've just downloaded skype and asked my son to do the same as we got nowhere with messenger, in the hope to be able to chat to him and see each other. He can see me but I cannot see him and his webcam says "error in trying to connect to ...'. Is this something to do with his webcam or the fact that I am using a Mac?

Check with the folks at Skype.

How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro? I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

Can I record directly into iMovie with a usb web cam instead of iSight?
You can try it, but probably not.
This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion). You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

Virtual Web Camera with JMF

Hi
I have tried to use virtual web camera with Java Media Framework.
And what I wanted to point out why these are important is:
We can use them as wireless web cameras and use with Java Media Framework
Here we need two softwares
1. softwares available to use our mobile phones as a wireless web cameras. ex- http://www.motvik.com/
2. Softwares which acting as virtual web camera (comes with Windows Driver Model(WDM) driver)
Once we installed both and completed the rest of the configuration. 1st software acting as a wireless web camera and the 2nd software detects the first software as a web camera. The important thing is it acting as a virtual web camera driver. Some of them even provide SDKs.
So as they claim their provides WDM driver and supports all the VFW and DirectShow applications,([here is a one|http://www.e2esoft.cn/vcam/]) they must detect as capturing device by the JMF registry.
But it is not.
Can anyone please put some attention on this? Can any one please put some light?
If I am wrong please correct me.
Thank You

Hi captfoss thanx for answering.
Actually my web camera(real one) is detected by JMF registry as vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) : 0
So as u said if it is not a must to detect the all the cameras I have to find the hardware ID of the virtual web cam driver. It is better to ask it from original developers. Also I am interesting to develop windows virtual web cam driver, So we have full access.
So any body has tried this kind of application?

Which of scanners works with browser as web camera with HTML5 API?

which of scanners works with browser as web camera with HTML5 API?

ntman,
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/Camera MDN Camera API Guide] and [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5 Web Guide MDN] are both articles to get you started. I am not an expert in this, but there is a developer community on stackoverflow.com that helps specifically with Developing in Firefox. It may require the use of AngularJS. However it is difficult to prevent users from downloading images that are on sites, but again stackoverflow.com would have some great ideas.

How to Use Web Printing with Microsoft Excel

Hello,
In the recent How to paper on Use Web Printing with Microsoft Excel, describes few ABAP classes and methods. Can those classes be modified to access much more Microsoft excel objects , such as Macro ? Does any body has tried in those lines ? Any suggestions is eagerly awaited.

Hi BW people,
Since we want to modify our reports for printing (and the How-To about enhancement of web printing does not really answer to our requirements) it seems that the Excel alternative is just what we were looking for.
Unfortunately I have been working with these classes for 6 hours now to get a very simple Excel file, but without success. I did fix the bug like Thomas Kauffman told on the forum, changed the dataprovider and prefixes and I followed every single step of the How-To document(also the check of folder options to open/save the .xls file),... The only thing that happens: the URL has changed (bookmark) and the page is reloaded again.
So no Excel file, neither a dialogue box. I also walked -a very long time- through the code (in debugging mode) starting from ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT->PROCESS_CMD but I can't find anything!
Is there anybody with the same problem and -better- with a possible solution to it?
Thank you very much in advance!

Issue using web-service with forms9i

using web-service with forms9i
Hi
I have a setup of oracle9ias release 2 on solaris machine. I have made a web-service which is deployed on nt machine on weblogic server. I have made a call from my form (forms9i) to this web-service. When i try to use that web-service after deploying my form on solaris, it initializes the web-service and performs the action successfully. Now the problem is that my form also makes a call to report server to generate a report. The problem is when i initialize the web-service and uses its function it works but after that making a call to report server will fail. Also if i make a call to report server first, it generates the report and then i make call to the web-service, then that web-service fails to run. And in both cases, the forms application stops saying session has aborted.
Why cant i make call to both the things in one session of application? What could be the reason for that? Need help urgently.

Sorry,
I didn't know that this was necessary to find a solution.
Here are the definition out of the WSDL File:
<xsd:complexType name="ZS_EQART_RANGE_LINE">
     <xsd:sequence>
          <xsd:element name="SIGN" type="tns:char1"/>

I want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
Still very confusing. :-?
Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

You "faced some problems"...
Without any further information I assume that your computer is unplugged. All fixed. You are welcome!
Obviously we need a LOT more information. We are not going to waste our time guessing when we could be helping others.

WAD binding using "Web Item with ManualInput"

I am using a formula variable in a fox to get an user entered number. I have Input Field web item in the web template and I am trying to pass the input value from this item to the formula variable using "Web Item with ManualInput" binding type . But, the user entered value is not getting transferred to the fox.
While other variable types work fine, seems to be having issues with this binding type for formula variable. Any help in resolving this issue is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
please try following procedure to pass the entered value from WAD to FOX:
Within the command "exec_planning_sequence" (or planning function) do the following data binding:
variable: {technical name of your formula variable}
variable type: "item-input"
web-item: {technical name of your input item}
Should look like this in XHTML (assume the formula variable is called Z_IM_TEST_MMEVE_001):
<bi:command type="EXEC_PLANNING_SEQUENCE_SIMPLE">
<bi:param name="VARIABLE_VALUES" type="ORDEREDLIST">
<bi:param name="VARIABLE_VALUE" type="COMPOSITE" index="1">
   <bi:param name="VARIABLE" value="Z_IM_TEST_MMEVE_001" text="Z_IM_TEST_MMEVE_001">
</bi:param>
   <bi:param name="VARIABLE_TYPE" type="CHOICE" value="ITEM_INPUT">
    <bi:param name="ITEM_INPUT" type="COMPOSITE">
    <bi:param name="ITEM_REF" value="INPUT_FIELD_TEST">
   </bi:param>
</bi:param>
</bi:param>
</bi:param>
I implemented the same thing successfully and received the entered values in FOX correctly. If it does not work just post a description of the problem appearing.
Brgds,

Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.
