White square is shown when on cam using aMsn AND Mercury

Lately i've had some trouble going on webcam to people over aMSN and Mercury Messenger (the only Mac Cam/MSN apps I use). I can see myself just fine, but all the contact can see is a blank, white square in the space where i'm meant to be. I thought that it might just be the one messenger service, but the fact it happens on both pieces of software is making me think that it's to do with iSight.
Could anybody please recommend what I should do?
Thanks a lot.

Welcome to Discussions, The60ftOctopus
You can use the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to see whether iSight is causing your problem. Be sure to try with more than one user account and with some other apps, too:
  http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
If your iSight works properly with any app in any user account you test, iSight is NOT the cause.
If you can eliminate iSight as the source of your trouble, you will need to either switch to other ways of communicating as Defcom suggests or troubleshoot other system elements that might be causing the problem. Here are a couple of things you can consider if you don't get better suggestions here:
(1) Sometimes a restart restores function on internet connected applications. Shut down everything and restart your entire system including modem, router, and Mac in that order. To eliminate possible communication hardware problems, *allow self-test to complete on each device before starting the next*.
(2) If you updated or installed any software immediately before the problem began, check their websites to see if there are known issues with your system configuration or installation. If not, carefully following the developers' instructions, reinstall any possible software cause, repair permissions, and try again.
If you find conflicting software, follow the instructions and uninstall to see if removing it will restore proper function to your favored communications apps.
(3) Check the dedicated aMSN and Mercury Messenger fora to see if your problem has already been solved by other users who post there.

  • Only white square box appear when taking photo using camera

    Hi,
    Anybody who can help me. When I take photo, all that appears in photo roll is just empty square box and cannot even save any taken photos.
    Please help

    Hey,
    If you can't see the photos when you tap them, there may be a case or protective film covering the iPhones camera. Try testing after removing any 3rd-party accessories.
    If the issue persists after removing the case try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
    You can reset the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPhone.

  • White background is shown when a psd file is inserted in illustrator

    A psd file with transparent background is inserted into a AI file, I found that a white background is shown when printing. Afterwards, I checked this problem occurs on true postscript printer only. All other type of printers are not affect.What's the problem on it?

    Check the overprint options. I think we had a proper post in the windows AI forum last week regarding a similar issue with AI's bitmap effects (drop shadow, I believe), so go looking for it.

    Hi Smash126,
    Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
    autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
    To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
    The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189253.aspx
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

    How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
    Hi,
    I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
    but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
    ( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
    my dbms is
    NLS_CHARACTERSET          = WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET     = AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION     = 10.2.0.1.0
    I do generate it in this matter :
    declare
    xmldoc CLOB;
    ctx number ;
    utl_file.file_type;
    begin
    -- generate fom xml-view :
    ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
    DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
    DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
    DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
    -- create xml-file:
    xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
    -- put data to host-file:
    vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
    DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
    bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
    UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
    UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
    end ;
    maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
    How can this solved ?
    Thank you
    Norbert

    Marco,
    I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
    that works good,
    but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
    in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
    but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
    it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
    my dbms is
    NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0
    -- test:
    create table nh_test ( s0 number, s1 varchar2(20) ) ;
    insert into nh_test (select 1,'hallo' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 2,'straße' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 3,'mäckie' from dual );
    insert into nh_test (select 4,'euro_€' from dual );
    commit;
    select * from nh_test ;
    S0     S1
    1     hallo
    1     hallo
    2     straße
    3     mäckie
    4     euro_€
    declare
    rc sys_refcursor;
    begin
    open rc FOR SELECT * FROM ( SELECT s0,s1 from nh_test );
    dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file( xmltype( rc ).getclobval( ) , 'XML_EXPORT_DIR','my_xml_file.xml');
    end;
    ( its the same when using output with DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE )
    open in xmlSpy is:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
    <S0>1</S0>
    <S1>hallo</S1>

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
    Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
    If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
    I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

    When I'm using iCloud,and I'm NOT in wifi will I need to pay a service provider for data useage?

    It's your choice. If you know that you will be away from wifi then you could download the music that you want to listen to so that it is available on your phone. If you do subscribe to Match and want to be able to access it via your carrier's network then you will also need to be an area where you get reception from your carrier.
    There are also some wifi-enabled external drives that allow you to stream content to a device e.g. Seagate GoFlex Satellite

  • Error when creating Recordset using CF and Postgres

    I'm a complete newbie when it comes to databases and development so go easy on me.
    I have created a simple database with a schema (ABC) and 2 tables (_Address, _Member) in Postgres 9.0.  I have installed CF 9 in development and am creating a new application using the Construction Kit Vol 1 as my guide.  I got to the point where I am to make a Recordset and keep getting an error of:
    -1:ERROR: schema "ABC" does not exist
    org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: schema "ABC" does not exist
    ...about 20+ lines of at errors follow (can post a screenshot if they would be helpfull)...
    From the Database tab I am able to browse my database just fine but I cannot create this recordset in the bindings tab.  I also followed the examples in the book and using their database I am able to create a recordset just fine.  CF says my data source verifies correctly.  I have verified that my password is correct as well as when in the database tab of DW I can test the connection fine.  I cannot edit the connecton from there but I get the same error when I try to edit on all of the databases, including the default test databases.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Loan,
    In your stock transfer Purchase Order has the correct 'Shipping Point' been determined for this item - i.e. the 'Shipping Point' associated with your 0002 Storage Location?
    The 'Shipping Point' determination is setup in config in <OVL2>, you can use the 'Loading Group' field in the Material Master (Sales:General Plant) tab to influence the shipping point that is automatically determined for a Material.
    Assuming the Shipping Point has been determined correctly for your 0002 SLoc - then in <VL10B> you will have selected this 'Shipping Point' for your delivery creation.  I also noticed that in <VL10B> on the Material tab you have the option to specify a SLoc (I'm assuming this is a source SLoc since the help doesn't clearly specify) - try entering this data too and see if you can generate your delivery.
    Good luck,
    Ravelle

  • My Mac is running very slowly especially when I am using Facebook and related products. What can I do to fix this?

    Hello everyone. My Mac is running very slowly when I am using the internet, and especially when on Facebook. The little rainbow globe spins around for ages before changing pages etc. I have done several virus checks etc, but cannot find anything wrong. Sorry, but I am not tech savvy, so have difficulty with these issues.

    Thanks for your reply. Well, I am not sure about the OS X version, I just gave that info from the Install DVD. I have the machine on automatic updates so I guess I am using a newer version. I know it is iMac Snow Leopard and I bought it in 2009. It is the 21.5 inch model. That is all I can tell you. I have 499GB and have used only 32GB, so it isn't a space problem.

    I am unable to search for new apps because I have a blank white square in the middle of the Apps screen.

    Have you tried a reset (different from just restarting)
    Hold down on both the Home button AND the Sleep/Wake button for about 10 seconds until you get to the black screen and see the Apple logo. Then let go of both buttons. This "reset" fixes a lot of weird iPad issues and might fix yours.
    Hope this helps!

  • Currency symbol not shown when loaded report using JRC

    I'm trying to show the currency symbol in the report file. the .rpt files is already designed with MS Access table but now im reusing the report and populating pojo classes to map with tables. the report that is bound with MS Access table shows currency symbol in currency fields. but when I load report with JRC, it is not showing. I tried to change Fieldformat also programattically as below.
    ReportObjectController reportObjectController = report.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController();
    ReportObjects reportObjects = reportObjectController.getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.field);
    if (reportObjects != null && !reportObjects.isEmpty())
                     for (int i = 0; i < reportObjects.size(); i++)
                         IReportObject reportObject = reportObjects.getReportObject(i);
                         if (reportObject instanceof IFieldObject)
                             IFieldObject fieldObject = (IFieldObject) reportObject;   
                                IFieldFormat ifFormat = fieldObject.getFieldFormat();
                             ifFormatObject = (IFieldFormat) ifFormat.clone(true);
                             break;
    for (int count = 0; count < tables.size(); count++)
                        // Set data source for each table
                        setDataSourceForEachTable(tables.getTable(count).getAlias());
    reportObjectController = report.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController();
    reportObjects = reportObjectController.getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.field);
    if (reportObjects != null && !reportObjects.isEmpty())
             for (int i = 0; i < reportObjects.size(); i++)
                 IReportObject reportObject = reportObjects.getReportObject(i);
               if (reportObject instanceof IFieldObject)
                             IFieldObject fieldObject = (IFieldObject) reportObject;   
                             if (fieldObject.getFieldFormat().getNumericFormat() != null)
                                  fieldObject.setFieldFormat(ifFormatObject);
                                  //fieldObject.setFieldValueType(FieldValueType.currencyField);
                                  break;

    Above code just get one of the currency field and clones the format. And after setting the pojo datasource, I'm again setting the cloned format to that particular field. But still  Im not getting currency symbol in the reports that are loaded via JRC. even I set locale before opening the report. but that also not helping.
    report.setLocale(Locale.UK);
    report.open(reportName, 0);
    Please guide me, If I'm wrong in this.

  • How to change my monitor to black bg / white fg for x86 when I dont use CDE

    thanks

    Try something like the following shell script:
    #!/bin/sh
    echo '<ESC>[q' > /dev/console
    <ESC> is a single character, the ASCII ESC control character!
    To get the ASCII <ESC>  control character into that shell script, you
    need to type "Control-V ESC" in the 'vi' editor.
    You can try to install such a script as /etc/rc2.d/S20white-on-black
    and it'll get executed whenever Solaris boots into multiuser mode.
