I never could get Macam to work with my cameras, but SecuritySpy seems
to work with them at least under OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
I have it on a test basis and am having an issue with a D-Link camera
right now. Can only get it to run at 1 frame per second via Ethernet.
D-Link is not particularly savvy or friendly towards Mac setups. The
camera DCS-2230 came with a setup CD but only windows version. Plugging
it in, Security Spy sees it right away, but any frame rates set there
don't seem to get to the camera. My Logitech Pro 9000 on USB runs at 25
frames per second. Copying the settings to the D-Link unit has no
effect. Not sure if it's the camera, or the network speed, or the SS
software. Troubleshooting it when l have some more time.

Check it out. Demo is free to try.

There are alternatives, but to my knowledge they all broke as of Lion:

IOXperts Webcam Driver for Mac OS X ($20)

CamCamX ($10)

Thanks, Randy.
I've decided to avoid buying drivers that might not work, junk the old
webcam and get a new one with an integrated microphone - I've been
using a Bluetooth headset to avoid using the complicated multiple
audio in/out socket on the Mac Mini - but I guarantee that when I need
it the headset batteries need charging!

After a trawl through net reviews of webcams used with the Mac it came
down to a choice of the Logitech C920 or C615 - maybe used with webcam
settings software from Mactaris -
https://itunes.apple.com/app/webcam-settings/id533696630?mt=12 - or
iGlasses http://ecamm.com/.

After some tooth-sucking I decided that the cheaper C615 was good
enough - and unlike the C920 was explicitly stated as being Mac UVC
plug & play compatible:
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6471/section/troubleshoot/crid/405/lt_product_id/8041/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/us,en

Amazon.fr seem to be selling it at a discount on the full Logitech price.

regards,
Ian

Exactly, the group name appears when I type it into any one of the address fields but I can not see the individual members of the group. I need to do so because I may want to remove one or more recipients from that particular email.

Does this not work for any group? Is it the same if there are lots of, or
just a few, members? We need to try and narrow this down.

I'm using Mail.app 5.3 under Lion, but if I drag a group name to the "To" field, then click on it, I get a drop down menu that includes "expand group" and when I can delete the names I want out of there. Does this not happen for you?

I haven't used 10.7 but in 10.8, I can *not* drag a group from Contacts to
Mail; it just "springs" back. If I type a group name into the To field in
Mail, it matches as I type. Whichever is selected, it expands when I press
Enter and I can then delete any I want to. I don't see an Expand option at
any point.

Howdy.

Just a thanks to Tod!

The script continues to work except for the force shut down part.

I've now tested it with hard drive sleep on and off in Energy Saver and
with computer sleep both on and off in Energy Saver.

Just left a BD disc in the drive on purpose and went to a movie with
the Polling script running and all of the drive and computer sleep
options enabled. Three hours later the BD drive has not disappeared.
