Webcam Displays Unknown Photo instead of video

Hi,
I have a new toshiba NB305 netbook with the integrated webcam (chicony usb 2.0). Using both the toshiba webcam software and the preinstalled skype application, whenever i try to launch the webcam all the ever shows up is a photo of a party at sunset.
I have tried everything I can think of but cannot get real video to show from the webcam. The blue light comes on indicating that the camera is active but no live picture is ever visible. I have searched for hours for a solution but haven't found anything. I have looked for new drivers, unistalled and reinstalled software, etc.
I know on my logitech desktop webcam there is a "privacy shade" which does the same thing but I can find no setting anywhere about this.
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

There is a similar "privacy shade" feature on the Toshiba Web Application program that puts up a picture in place of the web camera video, its called Screen Cover. Launch the Toshiba Web Application (if it's installed), if it doesn't slide out from the side of the screen automatically, by selecting Start --> All Programs --> Toshiba --> Utilities --> Toshiba Web Application. Next select the Effects button (third one down on the application window for me). Then select the Screen Cover tab and select Off, then click the OK button to save the settings and follow with a test to ensure the screen cover is gone.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it displays OLD photo instead.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it now displays OLD photo that had been received and saved instead. Why and how to rectify?

This problem only applies when attempting to receive photos that were sent in special format from iPhoto. No problem receiving photos sent as attachment to normal e-mail.

How do I save my iPhone videos to my MacBook Pro? It seems like they import into iPhoto as photos instead of videos...?

I need to open up some space on my iPhone 5 but I have a ton of videos of my newborn/toddler son on it that I don't want to lose. What is the best way to ensure they are archived safely to my MacBook Pro hard drive? It seems that they import into iPhoto along with the photos, but I'm not sure if they stay videos or get turned into photos. If they are in iPhoto, what's the best way to make sure they get exported and backed up to an external safely. Thanks in advance for the help!

An imported video cannot change or get turned into a photo file by the import. An imported video will have an icon of a still frame from the video. Have you selected any of the imported videos in iPhoto to watch/play the video?
With a Mac, you can import photos and videos with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application. One is not better than the other.
To include your iPhoto library with your computer's backup, select and drag the iPhoto Library file located in the Pictures folder in your Home directory to the external hard drive.

Playhead shows photo instead of video

I have removed ilife 11 and reinstalled.
There is a huge section of Imovie from the Iphoto library that when in preview mode (playhead) shows a photo and not the video. Not all the video in the Iphoto library is doing this.
I am not able to preview and edit what I would like to add to my project.
I have rebuilt the iphoto library, removed the application and reinstalled. What can be causing this?
Thanks

Added photos to the video timeline but they don't display.

I have added some photos to the video timeline but they don't display. The end of the last clip is frozen and then the next clip starts once the time for the photo display has elapsed.
A previous photo that I'd inserted in the project previously DOES run correctly. I suspect it may be to do with the fact that I've used cutaways in part of the video. However, where I'm inserting the photos is not in a section where there is an existing cutaway.

It would appear that it's a bug with iMovie. It won't let me add new photos to the duplicated project, but it WILL let me add them to the original project.
After searching the Discussion forums, it would appear that it has affected other users; some have used 'workarounds', but the solution doesn't always work for all. Hope Apple can address it.

Adjustment Layers should work on video just as on regular Layers.

Most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter

most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try this: select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

Jon,
See if this works. It may or may not.
Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)

Full Screen display of iSight or other video camera input

Ok - I've looked at iMovie and iChat and PhotoBooth - all the built in software to solve this fairly basic but maybe slightly odd need. I want to dedicate my display to show the camera video input. How can I do that full screen - not just in a window?
The need is that for video conferencing with WebEx - the video feed is low quality and it would be useful at times for the presenter to share higher resolution video. I can almost do this with iChat - I aim the camera at the source, and then use the iChat preview and then use "share desktop" with WebEx. Voila - relatively high resolution video. Yes, it's one way - but it's still really useful for some situations.
But the preview won't go full screen. Is there a MacBook app that will show the video input full screen?

The iSight is either 640x480 (older MBPs) or 1280x1024 (newer MBPs). Displaying it 'full screen' especially in an older MBP (which is what you have if you're posting in the correct forum) would result in a horribly pixelated image, not 'high resolution'. The apps that show the iSight feed are showing it at its native resolution, and that's a limitation of the hardware. If you need higher resolution, you can attach a higher resolution video camera (for example, my Panasonic DV camcorder connects via FireWire and can be used as a webcam).

Display Extension Number Instead of Switchboard Number

Hi,
We are using CUCM system in one of our branch office, we want to display extension number instead of switchboard number when we call external. But the telecom company said the dial information we send is "Unknown", need to be changed to "National Effective"... The voice gateway is C2951 and it's configured by vendor before; I can't find any configuration related to that, or maybe there wasn't any. Can someone help with this? Thanks.

Make sure the phones have external phone number mask and under route pattern you have Use Calling Party's External Phone Number Mask - checked. Then follow the below to set the called party number plan:
If its a MGCP gateway then under the route pattern>called party transfomrations> set the called party number type to local/national/international depending for the respective route pattern.

If its H323/SIP you can use translation rules. Review the below document:

Get the ipad to display my photos in file name sequence

How can I get the ipad to display my photos in file name sequence instead of by time/date stamp? I want to display them in a particular sequence controlled by the filename I gave them.

Hey Tex,
Good idea. I've found a question that indicates that the ipad sorts by name (https://discussions.apple.com/message/9116248#9116248). Mine are all sorted by date/time. How did they do that?
The app you suggested looks promising, but it sounds like i have to manually rearrange my pictures, and since i have hundreds in each folder, this would be tedious. Is there an app that will allow me to display them by filename w/o me having to rearrange them myself??
Thanks.

Any news of updating ipod photo to ipod video

guys.. is there any news about updating ipod photo to ipod video in the future??? i'm so darn pis$ed after looking at the ipod video... i have an ipod photo 30 gig and i just feel that it's really unfair for other ipod with colour display users!!!!!!!!!!
anyone here would be kind enough to calm me down!!

Bryan,
posts like this are in my opinion quite inappropriate and immature. I can agree on the fact that at the time of purchase the iPod purchased was exactly to specifications, but if a day/week/month later you can get more (10 GB and video capability) for the same price would you not feel cheated in a certain way? Just imagine it happening with anything other than a technological advancement and imagine it happening to YOU.
Anyway, it would be a very nice gesture for us Apple iPod enthusiasts to be provided with a firmware upgrade if the technology of their iPods is capable of handling videos. I for example am a Windows deciple, but as with everything, having listened to the right reasons, was contemplating to convert to Apple. Let's see how they handle this issue going forward.

How do you drop a still photo into a video?

how do you drop a still photo into a video -- while continuing the audio track unchanded?

by popular demand, Kelli Applies Lip Liner to Audrey's Lips has been completely re-mastered. (ok, it was just one person who asked, but she's a very intelligent and articulate observer of such matters. she noted that the clip suggests "interesting possibilities", but that men probably would be unaware of that. i explained that "men are pretty simple, so we don't see too many moves ahead." she laughed.)
i believe that in an earlier post i indicated that in the re-mastered version i would delete the in-camera audio and dub in the audio from the Zoom H4n audio recorder. this i did.
(syncing the video and audio continues to be a nightmare, though ).
besides signifcantly improving the sound quality, using a separately recorded audio source allowed me to drop (2) still photos into the video track, and still preserve the continuity of the recorded conversation.
dropping in the stills the correct way (unlike in the first re-mastered video) was easier than i thought it would be. it's just a matter of dragging the Premiere Elements 7's red vertical timeline-cursor to the point on the timeline where you want the insert to begin, and then dragging and dropping the still photo alongside the red cursor. the amount of time the still will appear can be shortened or lengthened by dragging with the mouse -- the same way any other file can be extended or contracted.
the video coming out from the still was now running behind the soundtrack. but, the timeline shows the exact duration of the still, so the video coming out was shortened with the mouse by that same duration, and then the audio and video were back in sync.
to add the "sound effect" of the camera's shutter clicking (actually its mirror slapping) before each still appears, i found a point on the audio recording that had the click of my camera actually taking a still, and that had only a little audio from the models underneath it. removing all the audio before and after the sound of the camera click was, again, just a matter of finding the start/stop points i wanted, moving the timeline's red cursor to those points, and using the mouse to drag the ends of the audio file alongside the cursor.
because i wanted the sound of the camera click to merge with the converation anyway, i just put the audio file of the click on its own audio track (which allowed me to separately control its volume).
however, when i tried to copy and paste the audio file of the camera click to the beginning of the second still photo, i was not able to copy and paste by the normal method of using the mouse to right-click-file/left-click-"copy"/left-click-"paste". eventually, i tried doing so by clicking on "edit" on the menu bar at the upper left and then clicking on "copy" and "paste", and there was no problem. (go figure.)
as with the other re-mastered video, i brightened, increased contrast, made the hue a bit warmer, and added a little sharpening. (this has to be done individually for each separate video file that makes up the whole piece -- at least that's what i did.)
interestingly, the audio level can be tweaked directly on the timeline by using the mouse to drag up or down a horizontal yellow line running the length of the audio file.
i again rendered in Adobe Flash Video (.flv). (annoyingly, in XP at least, there's a default download destination that has to be reset everytime you want to save in a different location). from a drop-down menu i selected "NTSC Flash Video 700k" (just in case) and left the file name as "Untitled" (since no matter what i change it to, it saves as "untitled.flv", so i have to rename it anyway once it's saved).
i went into "Advanced..." and, to preserve the dimensions and the HD, i unchecked "Resize Video", chose "Same as source" for the frame rate, and checked 2 "Encoding Passes" (just in case).
for some reason, everytime i click the "save" button, it asks what i want to call these settings. if i use the name i used for the same settings on the previous go-round, it says that that name is already used and (impliedly) can't be used again. so, i add the new date, and yet another name for the same settings gets added to the drop-down menu (odd).
once the compressed .flv file was saved, it was an easy upload to youtube.
btw, it seems that the Elements 7's Audio Mix defaults to 0 dB, OR whatever the setting was in the prior saved version, unless i use the mouse to continuously "ride the slider pot". that's ok for a 48-second video, but does anyone know of a way the dB can be set so that it just sits there, instead of moving back to where it previously was
