iCam Support / iCam 2.8 icon disappears from Menu Bar (iMac 10.9.5)

« on: April 28, 2015, 04:01:41 PM »

I just upgraded a few days ago to iCam 2.8 and the icon in the Menu Bar just disappears about 1 - 2 times per day. When I go to turn on my cameras, I get the dreaded "no source found" message. I then have to go to my main computer (iMac 10.9.5) and go to applications folder to double click iCamSource so that the icon is back in the Menu Bar. I can then set iCam on my iPod Touch 5 and leave the house.

I just downgraded a few minutes ago back to 2.7.2.2 to avoid this issue (I hope).

This is just to let you know my problem with 2.8

Thanks

iCam Support / iCam and FileVault

« on: October 08, 2011, 04:01:01 PM »

Direct quote from Apple FileVault help: "Because your home folder is encrypted, some tasks that normally access your home folder may be prevented. If you’re not logged in to your computer, other users won’t have access to shared folders in your home folder. Also, some automations or scripts that require data stored in your home folder may not run"

Will iCam work with FileVault or FileVault2 enabled on iMacs? Any FileVault/Dropbox related problems?

Thank you

iCam Support / Turn On/Off Record Motion Events w/ Multiple Cameras Together

« on: April 25, 2011, 09:46:41 PM »

Hi - a feature request...

It would be great to have the ability to manually turn on or off 'Record Motion Events' for all installed cameras at once.

With 4 cameras now (with one more to be added), it would be a real time saver to be able to do this without calling up the image for each camera.

As every day is different, I cannot use the Schedule option in preferences.

Thank you!

Regards

iCam Support / SqueezeBox Conflict?

« on: March 21, 2011, 09:45:14 PM »

Are there any known conflicts with Logitech Squeezebox Music devices and/or server?

The SqueezeBox Web Server Port Number is 9000.

I am trying to find out why my SqueezeBox devices are constantly crashing and am trying to narrow down the possibilities.

Thank you.

iCam Support / Dropbox Problems on Mac

« on: March 11, 2011, 09:18:48 PM »

Hi

Thank you for a great app!

Everything is working fine - the motion events will correctly appear in my iCam Source Motion Events folder on my iMac.

I set up Dropbox using the 'alias' method explained in another post.  

However, when I try to sign in to my Dropbox account, using Safari, the just renamed 'hash' file, now called 'iCam Files', will open in TextEdit and just display garbage. Using the Get Info command to change what application to open the photos was unsuccessful.

I have also tried dragging (and option dragging) the 'hash' file to Dropbox - although my events will now open in photo form in Dropbox, the file will not update with new events. The new events are, however, in my iCam Source Motion Events folder.

How can I view the motion events in picture form in Dropbox?

Being able to call up my iCam motion events from any computer is very important to me in case of theft of my iMac.

Please help.

Thank you

UPDATE:  I have now tried everything - renaming the alias file, not renaming the alias file, leaving off the word 'alias', moving the entire Motion Events file to Dropbox - although I have not used Terminal as suggested in another post (too chicken).

Please - there has to be an official method of getting Dropbox to work where images can be viewed in my Motion events folder on my iMac, on my iPod Touch 4, AND in Dropbox where the images are updated in case my iMac is stolen.
