    hey i took some pictures using my macbook of my ipod nano that i am selling, pics can be seen here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=2358198#post2358198
    also, anyone interested in the nano let me know :D :p

    as you can see the camera used a mirror image which made me write Vaero001 backwards haha. i dont have my macbook until this weekend so im sorry if this is a very easy preferance to change or something but i am not even on it now, but if someone can please tell me how to change that setting ill be able to change it this weekend. tia

    I don't get it...you want to flip the camera's video around so that everything is reversed?

    no no its already flipped, so when it takes a picture, if i had your name written on a piece of paper, your name would come out backwards.

    Okay, found it for you (that was fast :p).

    In Photo Booth, you may have accidentally clicked "Auto Flip Photo". Open up Photo Booth, and in the Menu Bar click Edit and uncheck "Auto Flip Photo". That should fix it.

    No problem, bmms8. And hehe, no thanks ;). I have a first-generation iPod Nano, and its starting to die (and the earphones are starting to get ruined) but I'm waiting for the next generation iPod Nano. Should be out next month (possibly at Apple Expo in Paris...).
