Way to test iSight without annoying friends?

I'm currently trying to get my iSight camera to work with iChat AV. I think I've found that the problem lies in my Netgear router and have opened some port numbers based on an Apple doc on the subject...
But I'm wary of annoying friends by asking them to let me try to connect (mostly because it keeps failing).
is there a place (or way) where I can just connect to something and be sure it is working before knocking on my friends' doors again?

    scottxx,
    That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.

  • Isight without ichat av

    Does anyone know of a way of using isight for video conferencing without using ichat av?
    Most of my friends have skype and PCs.
    Am I the only one who finds it unfair that isight is intrinsically linked with ichat av-which means that you have to have a .mac account which costs money?Love my mac products but if this is the way they intend to shape the future then.....
    Any help would be great!

    Does anyone know of a way of using isight for video conferencing without using ichat av?Certainly. Take a look at the other video chat/conferencing apps listed in Some Applications You Can Use With iSight. Several are cross-platform (both Mac and PC versions available).
    Skype does not make a video capable version for Mac, at least not yet.
    Am I the only one who finds it unfair that isight is intrinsically linked with ichat av-which means that you have to have a .mac account which costs money?Not so, Jon! The ONLY reason you need a paid dot Mac account is to do encrypted chat with other paid dot Mac account users. For EVERY other purpose, either the free Trial dot Mac account or a FREE AIM Name will work as your iChat AV account name.
    Once your free Trial dot Mac account period has expired and dot Mac's other useful features have stopped working, your dot Mac name will continue to work as your iChat account name.
    There is never any charge for the free AIM name.
    For some other ideas about iSight, you might be interested in the info in Using iSight.
    If you have specific questions after doing some reading, we will try to help.

  • Any Way To Buy iSight Still?

    Is there any way for me to still get an iSight without going on eBay?

    Hello PyroKarma
    You can check local newspapers, electronics and computer stores, and Apple VARs that might have used items or perhaps even NOS (new, old-stock) items. There are also internet auction sites other than eBay if you are specifically trying to stay away from that one name. A web search will find others if you are interested.
    Whatever source you use, if possible, it would seem prudent to test any iSight to ensure that it is functional or have it checked by an Apple Authorized Service Technician before you buy.
    If you find and consider buying an external iSight now, whether locally or from eBay or other internet seller, even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS iSight, it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
    Moreover, if you buy an external iSight now, verify whether all connectors, cables, and iSight mounts that you need are included. If some items you need are missing but you still want to buy the iSight, this info may be of interest. (Note that Apple no longer offers the "iSight Accessory Kit, Part Number: M9314G/B" that is mentioned there.)
    If you needs parts from the discontinued Kit or some part those listed in the iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions page and cannot locate them in your area, the kind people at http://www.synaptech.com have told me that they will try to help users obtain any needed external iSight parts that are still available.

  • Is there a way to test a PRAM/NVRAM battery

    I have a newer iMac that was not restarting after power failures automatically. I performed a PMU reset (or equivalent, ie unplug power cord for 15 seconds) which did not resolve the problem. I ended up zapping the PRAM and now my issue seems to be resolved. I've read that the parameter memory and nonvolatile memory can become corrupted which I assume my problem was. My office does have intermittent power outages that could have caused my problem, so we now have UPS battery backups on essential computers. My concern is that I may have ended up with a bad battery in my iMac and that is what could have caused the PRAM issue which in turn may have caused the restart after power failure option to fail. Granted my problem could just be a one time issue that will not happen again. Which brings me to my actual real question for the macintosh gurus who frequent this discussion:
    Is there a way to test the PRAM battery without removing it from the machine?
    I'm curious if the hardware test can determine if the battery is charging or working correctly or if there is a way to get some type of report using the terminal.

    If you unplug the computer from AC for one minute, then plug it in and start it up (do not connect any network cable and be sure Airport was turned off before shutdown.) If the Date and Time are correct then the PRAM battery is OK.

  • Test FCC without triggering scenario, similar to "Test Configuration" in ID

    Hi,
    lets say, we are using FCC in receiver file adapter, is there any way to test the FCC conversion (without actually triggering the scenario).
    in ID, i see there is a nice tool "Test Configuration", but it ends at ReceiverAgreement and shows the Outgoing message as XML,
    is there any way go a step further to see actually the fcc output, or any alternative way.

    is there any way go a step further to see actually the fcc output, or any alternative way. 
    no alternative way to test the Scenario and only possiable with run time .
    Test Configuraion :  name it self only possiable to test Configuration only.......correctly configured /not..

  • HT1414 I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 5S and it is going haywire whenever I use it. It will randomly open applications, send emails suddenly before I am finished writing them, and much more. Is there a way to resolve this without returning the phone?

    Hi, jbgatch. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Our iOS devices use a capacitive touch screen and with it being winter in most places, a buildup of static electricity can cause the touch screen to act erratic.  Start with closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device.  If using a screen protector, remove it and test without it installed.  Some cases that include a screen protector can cause this issue as well.  Try the remainder of the steps in the attached article below.  If the issue persists, a restore as new may been needed.  Make sure to backup your data prior to a restore.

  • Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

    I  want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the  "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i  cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without  all the bloat?

    Yes and no.  Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers.  That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards.  In the process, the code is minimized a bit.  Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

  • Any way to test the connection from my web browser back to SAP?

    is there a way to test/monitor the connection/data that is sent from my Internet Explorer back to SAP when the Submit button is pressed?

    I would love to find a utility that lets me measure the speed of my network without the variable of including my internet connection.
    If you are using wireless and you have Mac laptop handy, take some quick measurements at different locations around your home.
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the Transmit Rate number and jot that down.
    This represents the maximum speed that your wireless could support at that particular location.
    For example, let's say that your Transmit Rate at a given location is 130. This number is expressed in Mbps, so you would have 130 Mbps.
    You will find that your network speed is much faster than your internet connection speed, which is limited by the type of service that you have selected. If you have a 6 Mbps service, your internet speed and connection will be limited to that number no matter how fast your network number may be.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that your internet connection will always be the bottleneck on your network.

  • I have an ipod and an iphone. I would like to use both devices for my work and home computer. But it tells me that its installed to another library and will delete all items to sync to itunes. Is there a way to do this without deleting?

    OK....... I have an Ipod and an Iphone. Would like all the Movies and music i have on both. My computer broke and now the only music i have is on ipod. It wont let me transfer to itunes. It says this device is linked to a different library and if i want to sync to a new one and delete everything on it. UH....NO   Is there a way to do this without deleting ? All purchases were made though the same apple id.

    - An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    - To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
    - Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking

    Is there a way for my daughter or her friends to block their numbers from showing up on activities page. At first i could see them, as of yesterday i can no longer see the numbers in the activities page. But i do see that she has texted them when looking at her phone.

    First of all, there is no need to put the entire text of your post into the title of your thread.
    Next, does your daughter have an iPhone? Do her friends have iPhones? If the answer to both questions is "yes", then it is possible she is not texting them, but using iMessage to communicate with them. iMessages will not show up in the texting traffic on a line as they are not texts, but messages sent thru Apple's servers.
    For all "texts" to show up in the texting activity of an iPhone, you must disable iMessage on the device. Any messages sent as iMessages(blue bubbles around the text) on an iPhone will not show up in any texting activity.

  • Is there a way to import tracks without using the mouse in Logic Pro?

    From the user manual:
    You can import existing audio recordings by simply dragging them from the Media area, shown at the right of the Arrange window.
    My question is: is there a way to do this without dragging it with a mouse? I'd like to use a shortcut to open a browse folder and select a file. The reason for this is that I am nearly blind and I can't use my mouse for dragging because I can't see it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Can't see the mouse pointer.. even if you increase it's size using the Accessibilites features in OS X's System preferences...?

As I didn't have access to a pc it wouldn't work is there any way to do this without a pc?  I was without this app for 3 weeks!  Thanks, Lea

    The process to update your Tom Tom is a big data file, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network for it to download.  If will take about an hour.
