Yes I know this has been covered but not answered

Hi I have an IMac that is only a few weeks old with fully updated software on all levels.
Ok so I get that I had to go buy an external CD drive so that I can be old fashioned and still burn music from my CD's into ITunes.  I get that I will have to replace my 5.1 surround sound speakers because Jacks and Plugs change over time.
What I cannot fathom is why this silly ISight camera just doesnt work on a chat site I have been a member of for years.  Yes its a flash based chat room and no when you right click the ISight camera is not in the list there is only one in the list and it aint the built in one. 
Can anyone tell me where I can go to find out how to control this camera - there is no camera or video control under the system preferences - I have ensured that Photobooth and other programs that may use the camera are off or logged out - I have googled extensively - I have even emailed the chat host...
Where can I get access to some camera controls or software that will enable the cam to talk with a broader range of sites??
Max

Ok so use  > System Preferences ... > Flash > Advanced to verify you have the latest Flash software update that is compatible with your system.
Ok so then also check   > System Preferences ... > Flash > Camera and Mic to verify that your Flash settings are not blocking the camera for the site(s) you want.
Ok so if your trouble continues after the above, see  How to Troubleshoot iSight.
Ok so at this point, if your ONLY trouble in every user account you tested is with Flash-based camera sites, you need Adobe Flash Player Help.

  • I know this has been covered but, another sound issue (K8N Diamond Plus)

    Ok, I just spent another $111 on a new PSU w/dual 12V blah blah with a 19A rating and I'm still experiencing some pretty weak ass sound. Instead of an eight pin power connecter it gave me a four. Do I need to place the four pins in a diff. placement? i.e. 2,3,6,7 instead of 1,2,5,6? I checked the jumpers and DL all the drivers. Could it be the fact that my processor is 64bit dual core? Do I need diff. power supply or powered speakers? I'm at the end of my rope here. Any thoughts?

    PSU: Antec True Power 2.0 550watt or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931
    AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core
    WD Hard Drives SATA 80G X 2
    old cd and cdr drives not to be mentioned
    Corsair 1G
    nVidia GeForce 7800GT
    thats it so far

  • Video on Mac to Storm...I know this has been covered!

    Sorry, I know this has been covered, but it has a ton of things I can not use....or understand.
    I am on a mac. I have some movie previews that are in a .mov format.  I had uderstood I need to convert them into .mp4 format....I did this in Quicktime....and exprteded them a few different ways....but every time I go to play them they break up and get all pixialated!
    I have a 16g card, and I am putting them in the Videos folder on the chip through usb reader.....what am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks

    It was magical. I did something to my router, I'm not sure what, and iChat now connects to Windows machines with audio/video. I think the problem is very specific to what type of router you have.

  • I know this has been said BUT K8N plat won't post

    I am at my wits end with this damn thing.  I have installed a ton of PCs and never as much trouble as I have with this AMD64 3000.  First I ordered it with the Chaintech 150 board after reading great reviews on it.  That was my mistake for not looking at the forums to see what the real users say.  
    OK after RMAing the board back and forth and getting jack I gave up on it, set it aside and got the MSI K8N.  Installed it with the things below only and actually got the power to stay on only to lock on keyboard and not post.  
    I then read everything I could find in forums and tried everything that was suggested on top of what is the usual steps and got squat.  I am wondering now if the board is bad and I need to RMA it.  Has anyone found a fix to this post problem as I see a lot of people have had it.  I can tell you that my board is not shorted out, I tried other ram and am convinced that is not the problem.  Went and bought a new USB keyboard I did not need and still crapo.  God what I would not do to see a bios screen or even a post!
    Any other suggestions?  If I RMA this and get the same damn problem I swear I am going to start looking for my chainsaw!  
    2 months and counting while Doom3 sits unopen!  

    OK I tried moving the SATA connect to all the other 3 plus I moved the mem.  I think now I have tried about every combo with the mem and have had no luck.
    One thing that I didn't mention as I thought it was part of how this mobo sets up, but as soon as I plug in the power cable and turn on the PS the PC powers up.  I then can control it via the power switch., but if I unplug it then it will repower as soon as the plug is reinserted.
    I let iit sit in this error state for quite some time also and it doesnt appear to be a heat issue.  There has to be something simple that I either did wrong or am missing.  I have read a lot of post of people with this exact same problem and now I am getting emails of more having the problem and asking me to let them know what worked.  It would have to have been a really bad Monday at MSI for this many boards to be faulty(and that is humor as I think it has to be something I am missing).
    Oh and the Chaintech board would powerup for a split second then shut off.  It never made it near a post .   Read someplace that Corsair mem would not work with the Chaintech (plus many others) and decided to switch to the mobo choice most forum people were suggesting for a AMD64.
    I appreciate all the suggestions.

  • I know this has been discussed but the login error...

    i know i know! many people have posted about this. i have been working with this error for quite a time now and i was happily waiting for apple to solve this. there is still no change and it is getting VERY annoying that apple is not doing something about it!
    is there any plan that this error will be removed or will it stay forever?
    max

    The continuing issue of this login error has been an on-going discussion in "The Lounge". The Hosts are very much aware of it, so all of us need to be patient.

  • "no un-bridged adapter" - and yes, I know this has been asked many times before :)

    OK, so I installed vmware workstation 10 on windows 8.1 update. I got the above error. "No problem" I thought, and followed the community and googled advice, I:
    1) uninstalled vmware
    2) disabled my antivirus (Kaspersky)
    3) ran the installer "As administrator" (I'm a member of the local administrators group, so hopefully anything else that doesn't require elevated permissions would be OK)
    Result: Virtual Network Editor does not show VMnet0, but I see it in C:\ProgramData\VMware\netmap.conf
    #This file is automatically generated.
    # Hand-editing this file is not recommended.
    network0.name = "HostOnly"
    network0.device = "vmnet1"
    network1.name = "NAT"
    network1.device = "vmnet8"
    network2.name = "VMNet0"
    network2.device = "vmnet0"
    Looking at the properties of my network adapter (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM) I see the vmware bridge protocol and the vmnetbridge service is running.
    So next I try the "restore defaults" in the network editor - no change. I try removing the protocol from the adapter and I get error 0x80070005 but if i click OK and go back into the properties, it's gone. I can't add it back, because I'm told it's marked for deletion. So I reboot, try to add it, and I get access denied, but again if I close the dialog, and go back, the service is now there.
    I'm just in a workgroup and i have not applied any Group Policies...
    Happy to try any suggestions...

    Uninstalling AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software has been discussed a considerable number of times and has been discussed for many years and uninstalling any given AntiVirus and or EndPoint Security software is SOP when dealing with some issues with VMware Type 2 Hypervisors, especially when there are Network related issues.  At times both Avast and Kaspersky as well as others have been mention in these forums and at times in the product release notes too.

  • Communication Error - Yes I know this has been made.

    As stated previously, I know these have been made before, by a lot of people. I have yet to find an answer that works. I have tried setting up new locations like the youtube video. I have tried to open said ports, and I have tried turning on UpNP and all of the other tricks. I still cannot get video chat to work. I will do my best to provide all info that I can to get this to work.
    Obviously, this is the dreaded Communication Error, "You did not recieve a response from [name here]"
    Current Specs:
    Model Name: MacBook
    Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
    Using Mac OS X 10.5.3
    Router is a D-Link DI-624M.
    This is all updated with firmware and is current (v2.5). Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Routers
    The table below lists common household routers qualified for use with iChat AV. No additional configuration or port forwarding is required. There are two assumptions for using one of the listed routers:
    1. There is only one router between your computer and your Internet service provider. If you are on a complex network, ask your network administrator about any routing issues.
    2. That a firewall has not been enabled on the sending or receiving end of the iChat AV conference. Optional firewall features on routers may block ports, as may firewall software used on computers. See technical document 93208, "iChat AV: Ports That Need to Be Open Behind Firewalls".
    Of course Port Forwarding says this
    http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-624/iChat.htm
    For Pics where the firewall access is
    http://portforward.com/english/routers/portforwarding/Dlink/DI-624/AIMTalk.htm
    It will be worth checking if Ports need to be open to be allowed though the firewall.

  • FROZEN - yes i know this has been posted a zillion times.

    Hey =]
    well today my ipod became frozen with the "Do not disconnect" screen. i toggled the hold switch, held down the menu and play button, and did everything the support said. but theres no response. Is there any other tips besides letting the battery drain or taking it to some ipod place or something.
    THANK YOUU <33

    As I said in your other thread...
    You are not resetting the iPod correctly.
    To reset the iPod, hold down Menu+Select for 6-10 seconds (assuming you have an iPod nano/iPod with click wheel).

  • System Fonts. I know this has been discussed, but...

    I need to use Tahoma in muse and I do NOT want it to rasterize for the sake of cleanliness and good SEO. I don't understand why I can't just specify a backup font for people who may not have Tahoma. When I designed in dreamweaver I would just set Tahoma as the primary then Arial or serif as the backup and that worked fine. My company has chosen Tahoma for ALL of our documents, internal and external. Please tell me there's a workaround for this that doesn't involve getting hurt mentally or physically.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is no workaround short of manually editing the CSS after Muse exports it. Since you've used Dreamweaver in the past, this may be doable for you (one tip: using paragraph styles will make your job easier). Of course, you'll have to do this every time you change something and re-export.
    Background:
    The set of web-safe fonts exposed in Muse were carefully chosen based on how universally available they are. Secondly, the set of fonts in a Muse web-safe font stack such as 'Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif' are similar enough that swapping one for the other will not cause much noticeable layout changes. Making it all too easy to create arbitray font stacks is fraught with risk: both in terms of universality and the potential for layout changes.

  • Burning issues and yes i know this has been posted up before

    Ok , just like some indicated before that my itunes use to burned perfectly on maximum speed , so after a while i had a few problem in burning it would start burning then 10-20 sec it would say disk error or something like that and i would lose the recordable cd i inserted . So i went to 4x to see if maybe that would fix it but , the same dam thing happens and happens over and over making me lose recordable cd's again! without warning ! Can i some how fix this by cleaning maybe the lens with a cd lens cleaner or will that mess up my lense on my mac osx? How can i fix this problem ? thanks

    I would suggest first having a look at How do I clean my CD recorder? I would have to say that you should never have to clean a CD or DVD drive, and if you really really really can't resist, try using some canned air using extreme care.
    If you don't already have canned air, and don't have any other optical drive "snake oil" remedies, then I would say the likelihood of effecting a sound repair based on investment in such would not be in your favor.

  • So, I know this has been asked before. But, has anyone heard from Apple?

    So, I know this has been asked before, but I'm just looking to see if anyone had heard from Apple on this at all. The minimum volume on my iPod Classic 160gb is too high, and I can't lower it. (AKA when I kill the volume, I can still hear music).
    I called them today, but the rep was pretty useless. He even dropped the "well, just press pause" line on me. Took him a while to understand that when I'm in bed or studying, etc. the minimum volume is too loud, and I wanted to be able to set it lower.
    The best workaround I've found so far is to buy headphones with their own volume control, but I just can't help but feel that someone shouldn't have to by additonal gear after buying this thing on account of such a basic feature exclusion.
    Anyways, thanks for any help !

    Wow, easy there company boy!
    I've heard all of what you spit up before.  And for your point of "Well, in several cases, people have complained (here in these discussion pages), that they expect the volume to be zero when turned to minimum position" that kind of ties in to why Apple should fix this.
    And yeah....it's pretty much a given that "you and I have different interpretations of what constitues too loud" This is where the option to adjust the minimum volume comes in to play.  (I relly feel bad for you. Honestly. Having to live everyday of your life this way must be just brutal)
    The wording would be pretty simple too. " Be aware there are many instances of the minimum volume being too loud, so think twice before dropping a few hundred bucks on this"
    And, you're right. It is horrible to 'whine' about being ripped off and asking if there is a possible fix for the issue. I really do apologize for that. I should just suck it up and not voice my opinion that this is not fair to consumers, and Apple shouldn't fix a known issue with a product.
    I did reset & restore, I figured that was pretty much implied since I said I spoke to Support.
    And I am not at all surprised that you would say "I - for one - am not surprised that Apple might say, "simply hit the pause button"."  Again, I don't want it on muteReading your post made my eye twitch at least three times.
    This is exactly the reason I was resitant to post on a forum. But, I got a good laugh anyways. Thanks guy!

  • I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 6 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo,

    I know this has been asked before But I Deleted 10 mths worth of Bookmark folders, Cant use Undo & havent backed up (live & learn) Someone posted do a restore from "Import & Backup" My listing in Restore is only 2010-6-29 back to 2010-6-22. Is this the way to go to retrieve as much as possible or is there another solution?

    Those dates are when a backup was automatically made by Firefox, not dates when you saved specific bookmarks. Try restoring the backup from the day before you deleted all those bookmarks. It will restore the entire backup file - not just what you deleted, you will lose any bookmarks that you saved after the date of the file you restore.

  • I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

    I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player.  What am I doing wrong?  They play fine on computers but not on dvd players.  Are there some simple things to check to figure this out?  (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times).  Created in DVD studio pro.

    Hi
    Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
    • BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
    Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
    I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
    • Type of DVD - matters
    - DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
    - DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
    - DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    • BURN SPEED - matters
    - Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
    I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not

    I use a mac ios and shoot raw in a cannon 5d mark ii and shortly upon import of my images lightroom darkens and changes my images. This has happened before but not every time. The strange part is my last shoot had the same camera setting but this did not happen. The images i have now i can not use after lightroom has automatically altered them even if i try editing back to how they looked upon import

    First thing to do is to change the default camera profile applied in Lightroom to camera standard (assuming that you shoot Canon or Nikon). Also make sure that your camera is NOT set up to use any of the HDR modes. Nikon calls those Active Dynamic Lighting. On Canons you often see things like highlight priority mode or "Auto Lighting Optimizer". Make sure that the picture style is set to standard and that for newer Canons the HDR mode is turned off. Most of the HDR modes simply underexpose the image and then add an instruction in the raw file to compensate for this to prevent highlights from being blown out. This causes more noise in the shadows and if you know what you are doing there is no point to this as you should simply expose correctly and get the highest quality raw.
    Lastly, make sure that in Lightroom you have not checked "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" in Preferences->Presets. This should make the default rendering of the raw files the same as the in-camera jpeg (what the camera shows on the back even if you shoot raw) but still give you all the latitude of raw files.
