Why does my iSight continually quit when using yahoo webchat?

I have a new Macbook air and have installed yahoo. Yahoo works just fine and I can view other's webcams and chat just fine, and my cam works, but will not stay connected so other's can view me for any length of time. Any solutions?

Why does "Link Media" behave differently when used as a keyboard shortcut vs when right clicked???

Not sure whether anyone else is encountering this, but the "Link Media" command behaves differently when right clicked as opposed to when used as a keyboard shortcut.
When you right click to select that option for an offline file, you get only the corresponding disconnected source media. But when you execute "Link Media" via a keyboard shortcut, PP brings up a huge list of all other offline media. Why does it only do that when you use the keyboard shortcut for "Link Media" but not when you right click "Link Media".
I'd like to get the Link Media command to behave via the keyboard shortcut the same way it behaves when right clicked. I don't want to have to deal with relinking a hundred other files, but just the single offline file I'm working on.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Why does Photoshop CC running slow when using Mixer brush tool

Why does Photoshop CC and Photoshop C6 running SOOO slowly when using Mixer brush tool??
Only to create one stroke it takes several seconds.
I have to wait a long time to do next stroke. I can't work with this. How do I fix this??
I have a new computer, a Mac Book Pro with 16 GB ram, so I have plenty of ram.

You really have to keep your brush size small with the Mixer Brush tool. And that necessitates keeping your canvas failry small as well.
Back a few years ago I did a whole painting with the Mixer Brush once and some of the bristle brushes - just to see if I could - and I found I had to really limit the brush size (e.g., to 50 to 75) in order to get enough responsiveness to keep painting. In that case my canvas was 4096 x 5120. It's not impossible to get a good, professional result, but you have to be careful about sizing things right.

Why does my Mac shut down when using Safari?

Every once in a while (randomly) my mac will reboot due to an error even when I only have the Safari Application open. How can I stop my mac from doing this. I have the 2011 macbook pro 13 inch with the latest OS (Mountain Lion). Everything is up to date but why does it keep shutting down?

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

Why does my .vi not work when used as a sub vi

I have a vi that produces a picture on the front panel. Displayed in the picture are solid grey levels for testing. Two grey levels are chosen inside the vi and then the picture flickers betwen the two. When I run the vi by itself it runs wonderfully, but when I run it as a sub vi it does not work. Even when I just place the sub vi in the block diagram and connect all of the controls and indicators up it doesn't work.When I use the highlighter it shows that the control values go into the sub vi and the sub vi lights up, but there is nothing output from the sub vi to the wired indicators. When I open up the Block diagram of the original vi from which the sub vi came, and highlight it while running the subvi, it
shows that it is working with information running to all of the indicators. If I start a new program with only the sub vi in the block diagram and all of the controls and indicators connected, should it not behave as the sub vi? I will attach the vi that I am using as a sub vi, and I welcome anyone to place it in the block diagram of a new vi, connect all of the controls and indicators up and see if it works. I know that there is something completely obviopus that I am missing, but I can't see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the subVI is working just fine when called from the main. I think what you're expecting is an indicator on the main VI to update as the subVI runs. What you will see on the main front panel is just the last value that a subVI has. That is the intended behavior of subVIs and function calls in all other languages. If you want to to update a front panel indicator while a subVI runs, pass a reference to the indicator into the subVI and update that reference instead of the indicator on the subVI. The other way is via a global variable. I've attached a modified version of your porgram.

Why does diadem intellisense not work when using scriptinclude or for global object

I have a script with a different classes in it (scripted 1). When I create an object of a class in the script 1 intellisense works. Intellisense is when you type name of the object created from a class it shows all the possible variables and functions contained in that object. But when I write another script and use scriptinclude(scripted 1) the intellisense does not work. I also tried a global object and intesllisense does not work. Is there a way to get intellisense to work when using scriptinclude? I am working with version 2012.

Here is more information on the issue.

Why does Adobe 9 standard crash when using the digital signature

When using the digital signature in Adobe 9 standard it crashes, it has been repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes when putting in the digital signature and not understanding why. Also the digital signature was redone. Your thoughts on this would be most helpful.

I had the same problems and was VERY frustrated.
I finally solved my problem by uninstalling reader 9.1, air, acrobat.com and THEN after a restart, installing a lite version of reader 9.1 from this site:
Good Luck!

Why does my dock get stuck when using full screen apps?

When using a full screen app like Safari, if I go back to my desktop and to the dock (which i keep minimized) it stays there when going back to the full screen app. I have to go back to the first page and hover over the dock to get it to go back. Not sure whats going on...

I may not have explained exactly...so basically when i go to the main desktop screen, and open a program or use the dock, it sometimes gets stuck in show mode. Then when i go back to the safari full screen app for instance, the dock stays up, with the latest program highlighted. In order to get the dock to go away, i need to go back to the desktop and hover over the dock again for it to hide.
I really hope someone else is experiencing this because its very annoying and I want apple to fix it quickly

Why does Firefox comsume my computer when in Yahoo Mail

For the past week, something is effecting Firefox when in Yahoo Mail. It does not happen at any other web site.
# I do not allow automatic updates of any kind. No changes or additions (unless sneaky stealth attacks?) had been made to Firefox since update to version 12 in May. The only add-on I have is the Mozilla Archive Format, which I've been using for years.
# Windows and various security applications are up-to-date as of very recently.
# Several up-to-date anti-malware programs have found nothing on my computer.
# I tried Chrome and Opera. They do not have this problem, but I don't like either of them.
# I uninstalled Firefox, deleted everything related I could find, downloaded the current version (13) from Mozilla, installed, and rebuilt all my preferences. I got my bookmarks back by restoring from a bookmark backup. This changed nothing.
# I tried "Restart With Add-ons Disabled" in Firefox, but that did not help.
Firefox starts doing something very intensive once in Yahoo Mail. Sometimes it is in this state when it displays the first screen of mail boxes after I sign on. More often I can do a little bit of something, such as open a mail box or a single e-mail therein before the problem starts. From my perspective it starts this aberrant behavior just when I click on the next thing: open another e-mail; open a different mail box; delete an e-mail.
Normally while in Yahoo Mail, or at any other web site, Task Manager reports CUP usage at from 0% to 5%, occasionally a few percent more for a very brief flash. When this Yahoo Mail thing starts
# The CPU usage jumps to 25%, with occasional bursts up to 30+%. Task Manger shows it is due to the process firefox.exe*32.
# The browser will not respond to any controls. I can do nothing with the keyboard or mouse. No menu will open. This has never ended by itself.
# Task Manager reports the immediate drop of network activity to zero -- nothing going on over the phone line -- or so Windows thinks. Disconnecting the phone line does not release the browser or lower its CPU use.
# A few times the entire computer has locked. I have only been able to get out of it with the hardware reset button.
# Sometimes Firefox is totally unresponsive itself but I can cancel it via Task Manager.
# Sometimes the one and only thing in Firefox that responds is the "X" in the upper right hand corner. The browser screen disappears immediately.
# BUT, Task Manager shows the process firefox.exe*32 still running at 25% CPU. I can end said process with Task Manager, whereby CPU usage immediately drops to 0%, or somewhere close.
# Whatever is going on through Firefox prevents me from doing what I want -- and it seems probable that IT is doing something I don't want done, although I have not yet seen symptoms of that.
Where can I go from here?

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Why does consecutive figure numbering break when using anchored and in-lin objects

I have an ID CC2014 document that contains graphics with figure numbers associated (using a defined paragraph style - numbered list - continue from previous) and when I place these into the flow of the document with a wrap associated to them they maintain the consecutive numbering that was set up in the figure style sheet. However when a table or graphic is placed in-line with the text (anchored graphic box or inserted table) the consecutive figure numbering doesn't continue, it restarts as #1. The next anchored or inserted item then sees this figure number and follows as if the list was restarted. What is up?
I have found that if all items are used as wrap graphics or separate text/table boxes the figure numbering functions as it should.
Is this a glitch?

I had that happen a month or so ago. What I discovered was there was another numbered list setting in the anchored frames. That's what was restarting the numbers. No glitch. User error.

Why does Firefox Mobile stop loading when using VPN?

When I'm connected to Private Internet Access VPN on my phone (using their app in the play store) occasionally Firefox gets into a state in which no webpages can be loaded. I can fix the problem in one of two ways: (1) use Google Chrome for Android or any other app that uses the internet or (2) disconnect from VPN and use Firefox without that protection. Sometimes when I reconnect to VPN, Firefox pages will load again but sometimes not.
The loading bar in Firefox Mobile always gets stuck in the same spot, which I am thinking could be diagnosed to determine which part of the http protocol it might be stuck at. I am hoping I can attach a screenshot.
I really believe in what you guys are doing. Keep fighting the good fight.

It could possibly be that the dns is failing, but to be sure there would need to be a log and need to be tested on lte and wireless to see if its consistent.

Why does Safari refresh the page when using the back button?

Safari didn't use to do this.
Even on these forums, when you hit the back button to go back exactly where you were at, if there are new posts, the entire page may have changed. I knew exactly the next post I wanted to look at before the page was refreshed. Now, I can't even find the post I wanted to read unless I scroll through the entire list again.
I need to be able to go back to the page I was just on and not have it refresh.
I need to go back exactly where I was.
Safari can't even go back properly as it wants to go back near the top of the last page I was on.
I need it to go back exactly where I was at.
I have no idea what the engineers are thinking about this one.
FireFox works properly when going back to the prior page.
I have long lists on pages I work with.
For example:
1. through 1,000.
If I am on reference number 500 on the previous page, when I hit back, it goes all the way back up to around 20 in the list.
I have to then scroll manually page down to 500 where I was at.
This is tedious, cumbersome and unnessesary.
Safari was much better before it was updated to this horrible behavior.
I don't know of any preferences you can change to change this odd behavior.
Anyone know of anyway to stop this horrible behavior in Safari?
This is like reading a book, but when you go back a page, the entire page may have changed and I have no idea where I was at.
Pretty $iss poor in my opinion.

Yes, that is correct.
However, you can also use the mouse or trackpad to swipe back a page and it still refreshes the last page.
Safari never did this back in Snow Leopard and maybe some versions of Safari in Lion.
However, Safari in Mountain Lion always does this.
It is very cumbersome using the "open link in new window" or "open link in new tab".
It was much better just being able to click the back button or swiping to get back exactly where you were on the prior page.
Hopefully more people will send Apple feedback on this.
Thanks for sharing.

Why does my screen get cropped when using my 30" Dell 3008 WFP with my MacBook Pro 15" Retina?

I'm using a standard HDMI to HDMI connection and it's cropping my screen down (on the dell monitor) by roughly 10 percent or so. It cuts off the whole top File/Command bar as well as the little icons at the bottom...

Lincoln, I tried switchres but without any good results. You mentioned getting an adapter and another hdmi from monoprice earlier but your link didn't work. Any chance you could explain what you meant?
Shootist, whenever I hit the option key down the only change is the "Gather Windows" tab at the bottom right corner of the window changes to "Detect Displays", but neither of them seem to do anything when I click on it... so frustrating.
Also, I have yet to find a "Extended Desktop" option that I hear about on these forums. Still, whenever I deselect the Mirror option, it does produce an extended desktop (even if that expression is curiously never used on my comp) however when i try to change its settings it won't let me go past 1920 by 1200 even though the monitor is supposed to go up to 2560 by 1600 I believe...
