I tried to get support yesterday, my new iMac cannot locate my printer. It works fine wirelessly with my networked windows pc and iPad. But the iMac cannot connect wirelessly. Basically they said it must be the printer and hung up! Even though the printer works with a pc and a ipad.

iPhone 4, iOS 5, iPhone 4S needs new router
how to get facetime to work again? When I pull it up, it says *There is no connected camera.* How do I recconnect the camera? (On an imac Lion)

Compared to a mid 2010 MBP, what is the quality like?
Apple calls the camera built into the MBA a "FaceTime" camera instead of an iSight camera. What exactly does this mean?
From my understanding, the available APIs from Apple only allow the iSight and FaceTime cameras to record at the same resolution (VGA 640x480). However, the iSight camera is capable of 1280x1020...does this mean the FaceTime camera isn't?
it's the subject of my next YouTube video and demo.
I took pictures of myself with my MacBook Air Facetime camera(right) and with my MacBook Pro iChat camera(left). I've noticed that they are quite similar. However the MacBook Pro pictures seem to be shot at a higher resolution and size. Which one do you guys think is better?

I recently downloaded FaceTime Version 1.0.2 (166) for my MacBook running running OSX 10.6.8.
Every time I start the App it has a message on it that says "There is no connected camera". My MacBook has a built in camera and mic.
how to make FaceTime recognize the built in camera? Im not sure how to set those preferences...

I have a MacBook Air 2011?Sometime, after a long standby, it wakes up with the built-in web camera disconnected.Facetime, Photo Booth, and Skype does not detect the camera, whilst for some reason, Google Chat inside Chrome actually sees it and is able to use it. Looking at the "About This Mac" I can see that the web camera is detected. However I am hoping that I don't have to keep rebooting it just to do a video call on skype.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Apple MacBook Air (OS X 10.9.3) is saying 'there is no connected camera' in both Photo Booth and FaceTime despite having a built-in integrated camera. The camera worked until I updated my laptop software I think. I have tried both the troubleshooting suggestions as given on the site and I have reset the SMC.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy facetime was working fine until recently it asked for a login and this time when I did login with my Apple id, it prompted for email verification. However it is not able to complete the verification and keeps giving the following error message : Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again.
I have checked the support forums and they all point towards preferences. Problem is that the preferences option for face time is grayed out and I am not able to use them.

Im running a brand new imac. FaceTime had been working great. Suddenly, no call were coming in and when Facetime reopened, it reads "there is no connected camera".

It is widely known that the macbooks screen has poor viewing angles and black glowing problems. I found an article that explains why this is so and why the macbook air does not have this problem. Originally all TN based lcd screens suffered from this. To help this problem manufacturers came up with the idea of adding additonal films to fix these viewing angle difficulty which increased the viewing angle threshold before that screen inversion occured (black becoming white/white becoming black and so forth). This article gives a technical explanation of it.Quote:Birefringent film increases LCD viewing angleSunny BainsTwisted-nematic liquid-crystal displays (TN-LCDs) have two major disadvantages when being viewed by more than one person. The viewing angle of the display is limited, and there are gray-level "inversion zones" in which black becomes white and vice versa. Researchers at the Fuji Photo Film Company Ashigara Research Laborato- ries (Kanagawa, Japan) have developed a method of pre- and postcompensating for the birefringence of liquid crystal, thereby increasing the viewing angle but without sacrificing brightness.
The link between birefringence and viewing angle in a TN-LCD is not obvious. Displays are generally backlit with a wide-angle light source. The light first passes through a polarizer that discards about half of it and allows the remainder to pass. This light is now polarized parallel to the direction of the liquid-crystal alignment at the bottom of the liquid-crystal cell. The orientation of the crystal changes gradually, however, twisting and tilting so that the alignment at the to�of the cell is perpendicular to that at the bottom. The polarization of the light will be rotated with the orientation of the liquid-crystal molecules. The light can then emerge through a polarizer at the to�of the cell, which is crossed with the polarizer at the bottom.
This technique only works properly, however, for light coming in at right angles to the cell. Though light entering at, say, 30 has the same nominal polarization as the light that is normally incident--because it passed through the same polarizer--the 30 light experiences the liquid-crystal cell very differently. The polarization components are effectively tilted and so are not as compatible with the birefringence of the tilted, twisted-nematic liquid-crystal molecules. Instead of being neatly turned, the polarization of wide-angle light can be severely skewed by the cell, with perpendicularly polarized components being "pulled" in different directions. Such unwanted manipulation means that much less of this light makes it through the second polarizer and so into the corresponding output angle for the display.
The only way to work around this problem is to make the light travel through the same kind of chemical structure but with opposite (negative) birefringence properties (see Fig. 1 on p. 53). In this way, any polarization skew can be inverted and subsequently neutralized. Fuji researcher Hiroyuki Mori has accomplished this by using a negatively birefringent discotic compound--a substance made u�of disk-shaped molecules--and tilting them to emulate the liquid-crystal structure.1,2 The "twist" is achieved by "crossing" the films--matching their orientations to the rubbing (alignment) direction of the to�and bottom of the liquid-crystal cell (see Fig. 2).
By using the compensator film, Mori was able to enhance the vertical and horizontal view zones of a TN-LCD and completely eliminate the upper inversion zone. For instance, the upward vertical angle at which the contrast ratio dropped to 10 (from 100) increased from about 25 with a normal display to 40. The lower inversion zone, which could appear when viewed from almost any angle below the normal, was pushed down so that it could never be seen above -20. It could not be eliminated, however, because the compensation film is not active and cannot, therefore, compensate for pixels that are off.
Though making the compensation film switchable is not currently being researched, other improvements are possible. In particular, Mori`s simulations show that birefringence compensation would be more effective if the "twist" of the compensator more accurately imitated that of the liquid crystal.This is now referred to as TN+FILM and is used in almost every desktop lcd.
The macbook does not have those compensation films which is why it has a poor contrast ratio and has poor viewing angles. The macbook pro and air have these additional films as do most non apple computers with the exception of a fewer low end manufacturers.

I bought a new Core i5 Macbook Pro, and I want to install Windows 7 on it through Bootcamp. I have a friend that told me not to buy the Windows 7 full retail version and instead buy install the "System Builders" version of Windows 7 on my Mac, and save money. I just wanted to know if there's someone who has sucessfully installed Windows 7 OEM "System Builders" edition and if there's any technical difficulties in installing Windows 7 System Builders edition in a Mac through Bootcamp.

I've been trying to use my iMac Intel's Facetime but keep getting a "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again" message.
Obviously, I'm in the internet but Facetime is not allowing me to sign - in for some reason.

I have an Intel iMac running under Lion 10.7.3. and cannot use FaceTime, which never worked anyhow, since it does not accept any of my 3 Apple ID's, which otherwise work perfectly fine. I uninstalled FaceTime assuming that there was a fault in it and tried to reinstall from the Apple Store, where it shows that I own a copy. But reinstall tells me that my OS X version is too new.
Info:iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.7.3), FaceTime cannot be reinstalled

I wonder if with regards to accessing FaceTime on multiple devices. We have a number of Mac products (iPad, iPhones and Mac Book Pro) at our house, all connected to one wireless network. Some of these devices can log into FaceTime but others cannot (notably the MacBook pro), using the same Apple ID details. The error message I get is that I should check my network connection. However, the connection is fine, and other devices have no problems with connecting to Facetime.
