External USB/Firewire camera recommendations

2011-03-07 Thread Nathan Sims
Since Apple no longer makes an external iSight camera, what do people 
recommend? I'd like a camera to be 640x480 @ 15fps min, and plays well with 
Quartz Composer. I've bought a few USB and one Firewire Mac compatible webcam 
in the past, they didn't perform well. Once I get going with a low-res 
camera, I'll step up to something with larger resolution.

Adobe flash installer

2011-03-07 Thread William Ehrich
Firefox says update Flash, but Adobe's installer's splash screen has 
'install' grayed out. Is OSX trying to protect me from doing something 
stupid (installing Adobe S/W)?

Phpsysinfo seems to display this information, perhaps you could look
at it's source code and see where it's getting it's information.

Probably.

What version do you have installed now?
What page are you trying to install from?
Try from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Why not just uninstall Flash and use Chrome when you need it?

I don't thing OS X has anything to do with it.

You can check at adobe.com which version is is the latest and also check the 
version of Flash Player Firefox use. 

If the two are the same Firefox is wrong obviously.

If your Flash Player is outdated compared to the latest at adobe.com, then the 
Adobe stuff on your local machine is not showing the new version as an 
available update at the moment for any unknown reason?
As far as I can tell OS X has nothing to do with this. A clean OS X 
installation with Firefox + Flash Player on top should not interfere with the 
update mechanism for the Flash plug-in.

If your version is outdated, download the latest and install. Check if you need 
to uninstall the old one first. This has been the case a few times before. Or 
just uninstall before installing no matter information about it or not.

There's a teeny-tiny checkbox buried in the middle of the splash screen that 
says I've read the license or words to similar effect. Right? Once you check 
it, the Install button undims.

Typical Adobe UI.

Yes, that worked after I looked again.
I thought you meant the read the license bit, but there is indeed a 
small gray on gray, almost invisible, check box.
