I work from home two days a week and work my ass off for my boss! However, she seems to think I do nothing, mostly because she doesn't understand how many times you replan a financial model before you get it right and how long this takes!
Anyway, I thought if I was able to take a screenshot of my screen every 5 seconds and a shot of myself (through my webcam on my MacBook Pro), then put it into a video, she would be able to see exactly what i do and it would stop her complaining!
I need to stream a video of my choosing using amsn in OsX. I found an app named macam that is suposed to do just that, among other things. I followed the intructions but I just can't get it to recognize the dummy webcams.
I don't know how to take a screenshot, or I would. I just tried to register my AppleCare (which I bought from the Apple Store the same day I bought my MacBook) and when I click "submit" I get a message telling me the product I'm trying to use is unavailable in my location (which I know for a fact isn't the case - I live in NC, not on Mars). Has anyone else ever seen this happen? I printed the screen to a PDF so when I go to the Apple Store tomorrow they don't think I'm nuts. I know there's no problem with what I bought, and I know I'll get it taken care of in the morning, but it's a bit annoying and I was curious to see if others had had this happen. Also - hope I posted this in the right thread, or at least something close to correct.
I used to have it so that whenever I take a screenshot it would go to a folder of my choice. But I have recently put a new hard drive in my MacBook and thus have a new Leopard install and do not remember how I originally set this up because it was such a long time ago.
Does anyone know what Terminal command or something that will let me make my screenshots go to something like User/Tyler/Pictures/Screenshots?
I have a MacBook with built in webcam, external webcam, and iChat. Next to everyone who has a Mac on iChat is the green box, but there is a phone icon rather than a video icon.
Video chats used to work, but suddenly they stopped. Clicking the green icon next to my name on top opens a box that days "My Build-in iSight" and I can see myself in that webcam, but can not make video chats. How can I fix this?
when using iChat it says in preferences under the video tab that there is no camera attached to the computer. It has as you know the built in web cam, this does work with Photo Booth and some other chat clients.
Ever since upgrading to SL, aMSN hasn't been supported, and its the only client I know of which offers webcam support for MSN. I was just wondering if anyone knew of an alternative program that supports SL as well as webcam for the MSN network.
a good program to record webcam footage? I'd like to get an iSight or other webcam and put it in the window beside my front door to record who comes up to the door. I've been having a problem with nosy neighbors messing with mail recently. I have a Mini I could dedicate to this project, basically what I want it to do is just record constantly to the hard drive, automatically erasing after, say, a week or so.
im looking for a program to replace my live feed on my isight as a static image...i found camcamx but its not free and when i broadcast the image it has a lock image on it... its the demo thats why...
I am currently looking to purchase a webcam for my Apple Desktop. I am really interested in buying the logitech C910 Webcam. I know on their website it says that this webcam is not officially supported by the Mac OS. However I am wondering if there is anyway I could make it work. I would be using it for Facetime, Skype, and Photobooth. I read that you can run the Webcam in UVC mode, but I'm not sure if these applications will still work with it.
I just purchased the eyeball microphone/webcam from Blue. The image shows up as reversed like in a mirror when using it in all applications (ichat,photo booth,quicktime X). Is there anyway to reverse the image so it looks normal again?
I want to take a part of my screen and use it as a webcam input. Is there a way of doing this (on a mac of course.)? I have googled the hell out of this and found nothing. If you're not really sure what I mean, I want to draw people on chatroulette in Photoshop, live. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
when i go to a flash website that requests access to my webcam it asks for permission to use the webcam as usual, but my webcam does not activate. the webcam does still function in other os software like photobooth.
i wasn't having issues prior to snow leopard so i was wondering if any other SL users were experiencing this issue
I am currently using Adium so I can consolidate all my accounts into one.
However, it does not have a webcam feature. Is there another program you can recommend to me that does all of the above. I am sad. I couldn't chat with my friend.
I have downloaded about 3 different instant messengers:
- Mercury Messenger - aMSN - Microsoft Messenger (newest version)
These all claim to have the ability of video chat and using the webcam, however, none so far have done so and every time I have tried it has failed or cancelled and can't connect.
I would like to know if I'm doing something wrong, I have gone through all the preferences and sorted everything that I think is right.
My sister just bought a refurbished 13" MacBook Pro?The built-in camera is "flickering," but it appears to only be happening in applications made by Apple, or at least ones preinstalled on the computer. The applications affected that I have tested are: iMovie, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and iChat. It's not really a "flicker," per se, but large horizontal chunks of the video will displace and often show up as green -- it all moves very rapidly -- very hard to explain, but it is definitely not normal behavior.
iChat takes the issue a step further: the camera preview in iChat Preferences shows nothing but a blank screen. The camera works flawlessly in Skype, and also in web browers thorugh Adobe Flash. So, I am very certain this is not a hardware issue. It also worked perfectly during the setup walkthrough when the computer was first turned on and it had her take a photo for her user account. I've tried resetting application preferences by deleting the preference files, resetting PRAM and SMC, shutting down/restarting the computer, and I've applied all possible Software Updates. System Information (formerly System Profiler) shows the camera under USB, so the computer is recognizing it. Finally, we called Apple and they said to reinstall OS X, which my sister just did. The problem's still there. It wasn't a "clean" install though, because all of her files and preferences were kept in-tact, so maybe that is why.
I don't have a screenshot, but i noticed that iTunes-Helper is running in 64-bit mode. Does this possibly indicate that future iTunes versions will be 64-bit?
I try the simple; Command, shift, 3 or 4 for sections. I was on the internet and I was looking for flights from my location to Boston, and I tried screens hotting and it redirected me to some page. To be more exact, commend shift 3 sends me to Facebook (3rd page on my bookmarks) and command shift 4 sends me to twitter (or the 4th one) ...
I've gotten into a bad habit of saving everything to the to the desktop for easy access and now I'm having screenshot overload !
i) when taking a screenshot is it possible to override the auto naming function i.e. open the shot to then save as? or
ii) is it possible to take a screenshot and auto-save it into a specific folder, rather than the desktop, even a single desktop folder would help me?
The desktop is a total mess and I've a 50 or so screenshots mixed in with everything else - each screenshot just seems to look for the next available space on the desktop !!!
I'm an artist and love to draw and paint things. I find that drawing/painting from screenshots from my favorite TV series teaches me a lot.
So I wanted to get started on Hawaii-Five-0 when I discovered that the Mac does not let me take screenshots of the dvd player. I've tried several other ways (VCL and SnapNDrag) to counter this lack of cooperation, but neither worked and maybe tell me why on earth Apple won't let me take screenshots of DVDs I've bought perfectly legally at a local store???).
