Would like to get iSight, iChat and Universal Access to work together
Problem: family member with age-related macular degeneration, form not presently curable. Avid reader, feels isolated unable to do so. Due to age and related problems he's very confused trying to use Universal Access (UA) on ANY size Mac screen, situation in which I suspect he's far from being alone; I also find UA extremely cumbersome and almost unworkable.
Proposed solution: would like to procure him a second, external iSight camera, mount it on a (powerful) light stand next to a 20" iMac, have that contraption positioned over various paper documents which I propose to then magnify and display on the Mac.
iChat, unlike PhotoBooth, does not have the ability to flip images and thus render text readable. Also, zoom on iChat inadequate. PhotoBooth use (taking images, flipping, etc) very cumbersome; also, cannot seem to be able to zoom.
Dedicated CCTV units on the market accomplishing simple video magnification seem outrageously overpriced ($3-4000) and not sure if they have their own unknown issues. They would not afford the potential flexibility of a Mac, accomplishing so many other potential tasks.
Proposed solution would seem to offer a wealth of possiblities if someone may have an idea how to tie it all together. Anybody?

Thanks for the tip about QuickTime pro.
I think rather than moving the iSight camera down or up to adjust magnification, that you use Zoom instead.
Zoom is a lot more user friendly with something like the PowerMate. The hot keys for adjusting magnification are just a little too obscure and awkward for my tastes, but having a dedicated knob takes care of that. We use a single press to toggle inverse on and off. A press and hold to activate/deactivate Zoom altogether. Press and spin to adjust contrast.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Getting Open MQ and Mule 2.0 work together
Hi!
I would like to ask some help on getting Open MQ work with Mule 2.0. I'm quite new to both technologies, and I can't get them to work together. Here is how I've tried so far:
What I'm trying to achieve first, is that there are 2 queues in my open mq, and if something arrives in one queue, mule should get that from the queue and put it in the other queue.
I've created a configuration file for mule:
(sorry that it looks really crappy, for some reason, couldn't really get it to show nicely on this forum, however I edited it, it always made each line start on the left)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mule xmlns="http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/core/2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:jms="http://www.mulesource.org/schema/mule/jms/2.0"
xmlns:spring="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans">

<outbound>
<outbound-pass-through-router>
<jms:outbound-endpoint queue="out"/>
</outbound-pass-through-router>
</outbound>
</service>
</model>
</mule>
The service component class pretty much doesn't do anything for now, but is like this:
package disp;
public class Dispatcher {
public Object dispatch(Object o){
return o;
I'm using the Mule IDE, and unfortunately I can't even test if this works or not, because when it starts the mule server, I get an error, which I don't understand why I get:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'mule'.
I really have no idea why I get this exception. Anyone knows what I did wrong in my configuration file? Also, can anyone tell me, if what I'm trying to do looks something like this, or I'm doing it all wrong? If anyone can help me get this all to work, I'd really appreciate it.
I haven't seen any info on how to configure the Open MQ Connector, so I'm not sure how to do it. I've tried this:
<connector name="jmsConnector" className="org.mule.providers.jms.JmsConnector">
<properties>
<property name="specification" value="1.1"/>
<property name="connectionFactoryJndiName" value="ConnectionFactory"/>
<property name="jndiInitialFactory" value="com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory"/>
<property name="jndiProviderUrl" value="file:///C:/Temp"/>
<property name="jndiDestinations" value="true"/>
<property name="forceJndiDestinations" value="true"/>
<map name="connectionFactoryProperties">
<property name="brokerURL" value="vm://localhost:7676"/>
</map>
</properties>
</connector>
but it doesn't work, the error tooltip says "Invalid content was found starting with element 'connector'", and then the next error is at the first 'property' element, saying "Invalid content was found starting with element 'property'. One of '{"http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":entry}' is expected. "
Can someone please also help me with the connector creation? Since this had errors, I had to cut it out when trying to run my config file, that's why you can't see it in it.
My next step (if this would work) would be to use this on 2 different JMS's - Mule gets the message from a queue from a certain JMS, then sends it to the queue of a different JMS. Of course I can't start working on this until my first task works, but I was wondering, how to create 2 different connectors and then use different connector for each of the endpoints.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I have no idea why I get this exception :(
There are a few things I don't understand in your config file though:
-How come we don't have to specify the address where the broker is running? (like localhost:7676)
-In the spring bean called "context", why do you specifiy the Open MQ installation directory? I mean, why do you have to specify it?
-I don't understand everything in the file, so I might say something stupid now... but ... you have a spring bean called "context", and I don't see it used anywhere. Or do you have to have a spring bean called context? Or is this necessary at all?
About the Open MQ admin tool. Am I correct in assuming, that all you have to do, is create a Broker (and add destination to it), and create an Object Store and add connection factory to it (and optionally physical destination too ... although this is not necessary because if you create a destination and you don't make physical destination for it, then by default it will be created for it). This is what I did with Open MQ tool.
I was wondering if you could please give me your email address, would be easier to communicate over that, this forum seems a bit deserted anyway.
Thanks in advance!

Please excuse me if you have already received this query. I have lost an email which I clicked on quickly to see what it was about and intended coming back to read it later. It disappeared from my inbox and a caption related to the email appeared at the bottom of my subsequent emails. I have been unable to find the original email. Could you please advise if it is possible to retrieve it and if so how it may be done. Thank you
sharonHello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

OK, try this: First make sure that all anti-virus software & any firewalls are completely turned off...nothing running. Then do the following:
Turn your phone off...in your case, it's already off, so proceed: Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
Can't get my laptop and airport extreme to work together
Hi,
I can't get a green light on my base. Also, when I try and set up the computer to do the wireless thing it's prompting me to enter all this info that I don't have...like network password, info, connection...where would I find that info? Sorry if I'm being vague...it seems to be alot of work to connect! I keep reading posts about it being so easy!hi DelilahBelle - maybe consider the following steps:
1.) establish a valid connection with your dsl-provider. to do so: connect your modem to your computer using your mostly yellow ethernet-cable (so at the moment no wireless established). then check if you can access the internet thru safari.
1.a) if not, configure first your modem and the dsl-connection in the right way. you can use safari and enter the modem's tcp/ip-(routerside-)adress (e.g. 192.168.1.1 for a netopia modem) and you will get the modemrouters menue. to configure the modem you must have some information from your dsl-provider (at&t, swisscom, t-online whatever):
- your userid and password to validate yourself in the login process
- maybe dns1 and dns2 adresses a.s.o. (if you have a simple network it's not required)
1.b) if ok, ensure your modem is set to DHCP (dynamic tcp/adress management). maybe you have to set this parameter in your modem using its routers menue. then every component in your network will get a dynamic tcp/ip adress
2.) connect your airport express to the modem with the ethernet cable. do a hard reset with your airport express. afterthat select and configure your airport express using the airport express utility version 5.2.1 (program, utility folder) using its assistant. after finishing you should get a green light on the express and you should be able to go on the internet thru safari
2.a) if not, select the airport express in the utility and double-click twice on its icon. you will get the summary screen from the airport express. there you will see a yellow spot. click left there and you will get another window where the error is explained ...
2.b) be happy
3.) if your network is more complicated then follow maybe this

Would Like to Get Report of Daily Emails In and Out from Members to a DL
Exchange version : 2007
I am the supervisor for the group and want to quantify this information. I do not need to see the content, just quantity
is it possible ?Well, distribution groups don't really have a concept of "in" or "out". They only serve to distribute messages sent to them -- unless you're asking to know who was a member of the distribution group at the time a message was sent to the DL.
Message tracking logs hold the information you want, though. You'd have to look for EXPAND events that reference the distribution group and take the sender's e-mail address from that event. If the DL is a simple one that's not a member of any other groups
you could also look for RECEIVE events sent to the e-mail address of the group and get the sender's name from that event.
You can use Powershell extract the rows of data from the logs, but you'll have to write the code to get the data out of those rows and into a format you want. Perhaps LogParser could be useful in place of Powershell?

how do i get my photos to stream to my iPad in the events that were oringally created. Right now they are streaming as photos and are not grouped at all. I would like to get them back into the events that were originally created
Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386

When I got my Ipod Touch 3 years ago, my mum set up an Apple ID in her name & email address. I have since got an Ipad & set up my own Apple ID. How can I update my Ipod to my Apple ID? I would like to sync the Ipad and Ipod, but cant get past this ID problem?
Hi AnnieAnneok,
Welcome to the Support Communities!

my kids set up itune account on my computer years ago and no one remembers the password. They started new accounts on their macs. I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account. Any suggestions?
The easiest way would probably be to recover the data of the old account and change it to match your current info, after that you can continue to use the account without any problems. To recover your account go to: Apple - My Apple ID
Alternatively if you want to start a new account do it and then contact iTunes support to see if the y can transfer your purchases (I know of cases on which they have done it) -
My home page is just www.google.com with a search box and a picture of some planets as a background from my computer. While I was dragging the restored down browser window, I slipped with my mouse and now I have a light gray two inch bar across the top of my background picture. It's below the; Search-Images-YouTube-News-Gmail-More icons. When I right click on it and select inspect Element (Q) it says div#gbx1.gbqfh in three different colors. I would like to get rid of it, but I don't know if it's a google or Mozilla issue. I know google has been changing things so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a coincidence.
Is there any text in that gray bar?
I see some buttons on it, do they have a tooltip?
