BEST WEBCAM TO USE ON OSX TIGER

HI.
I i wanted to no the best web cam i can use on tiger or a power mac g4 dual 500. there is many brands and some are usb and firewire. i hear that most will work with a mac . i dont want to spend alot of money and want a clear cam not a slow one too. things like good color, good sound and most of all real clear one. also do i need good light for it too. if anyone can help me ,i could use the help. walmart has many cams for under 30.00 dollars . i want to use it on broadcaster.com . to go live with it.

so what you are saying is my power mac gigabit ethernet dual do's not have usb 2.0 ,it has usb 1.1 . if thats the case than i no the problem that i am having with bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. so i can use a pci usb 2.0 card and that is better for me..
Let me know if that will work for me . i want to goto walmart and try one of the cams they have for sale . i may try the better brand ones first. if it dont work than i will take it back to walmart.

Best webcam to use for Facetime on a Mac Mini?

Long story short, my mother's PC bought it last night and after many years of trying to convince her, I'm going to order a Mac Mini for her to use. She wants to use Facetime with it, however, as her friends have iPads and whatnot. I have always relied on my built-in iSight cameras from my iMacs, so I have no idea what a good 3rd party camera is. Without suggesting I track down a used iSight on eBay or whatnot, what are the best webcams currently available on the market that use Lion (most recent update) and are available to use with Facetime?
I have been told that Logitech has one (c910), but I can't seem to find verification that it supports Facetime on Lion, as most of the reviews I have found are from 2010 and early 2011.
Thanks.

I'm using Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11 and can't seem to find a version that is compatible

Please help me find the correct link to download a version that will work on my Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11. The links from the forums take me to a page that doesn't exist. Help me, I'm desperate.

TenFourFox is for only for ppc mac, not intel mac, like slindquist's mac.
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/ReleaseNotes1006
see : http://caminobrowser.org/
if you like to think about it, the latest '''but unsupported''' firefox for your mac is 3.6.28

Best webcam for Mac mini core solo?

What is the best webcam to use for my Mac Mini with an older display - is MacAlly icecam 2 sufficient? and i'm still on 10.4.11. Many thanks for your kind responses.

I've been looking into webcams for my mini and have noticed that some webcams whilst the video works, the sound doesn't. I have an old webcam which my wife uses on our windows box, and I got it working on my mac using the Macam drivers http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/ The only problem was that the microphone wasn't supported, a recurring trend!! From my investigations the Logitech Quick Cam Vision Pro for Mac seems to be the best available, but it is a bit expensive £89.99 here in the UK.

Best webcam for Mac Mini with lion os

WHat is the best webcam to use on most recent mac mini (lion OS)?

I purchased a Logitech HD C910 and it works really well. The non-included software for Mac you have to download is crap, but you don't need it for Skype, iChat, PhotoBooth, Google+ hangouts, etc.

Request help for purchasing HD webcams using iMac, OSX &Lion

I am requesting help for purchasing a HD webcam using iMac, OSX &Lion. Any suggestions would help. The following is what I've done so far...
I purchased Logitech's HD C910 webcam. It was a mess in requards to freezing up, no zoom and most of all no adjustments in: contrast, hue, color, etc. You're stuck just like a car with no engine or wheels who wants that. The other Logitech products i.e. Pro 9000 is being discontinued with no software updates in the future and the same with the other products. Most of the other manufactures do not provide software that is really compatible provideing true HD with full features. I'm willing to spend around $199,00 or so. Any suggestions?

Well I found my own answer to the webcam concern that I had ....I bought the Logitech C-910...Yes, I know the Logitech states their software is not compatible with OS X ...That's OK, I only use the basics supplied by Logitech to open the cam...Logitech does supply HD settings which are useful. I like the wide angle which is there to play around. Then I use a software program called "Webcams Settings" found at Apple's App Store. There is a small charge for this download but more than worth it to have a fully functioning system. The best way to get there is obliviously via your "Dock." Click on the icon and type in "Webcam Settings" in the top right portion of the page and presto....you have all the goodies to play like a professional. i.e.: zoom, pan, tilt, aperture. etc. of course your webcam camera(s) must have the capability to perform these options in order to use them.
Note I have used my webcam for everything you can imagine and have a 60 foot cord (several cords linked together) to go outside (LOL) 'Just love the goodies with "Webcam Settings". I take outstanding pics too if I do say so, please. Funny, I rarely use my cam to Skype but knowing the option is there for me anytime I wish. I my cam to photograph orchids and misc. even portraits and family play photos with my tripod in hand. Just because there is a big road block in your path doesn't mean there aren't other avenues. In the corporate life it's called take a negative and make it a positive or else.......and if you have to gripe then you better have an idea on how to turn it around. -So- I did Logitech and Apple.

OSX Tiger on OSX Leopard using Parallels?

Hello everyone, I hope this question/issue has not been posted before as I have been unsuccessful in finding an answer to my dilemma as yet so here goes. I have a new MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 2.4gig running Leopard 4.5.1. I just bought a new Epson Large format Printer, Epson Stylus Pro 7800. The MBP did not see the printer driver and so I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Epson that does work with the printer. The driver does not support all of the functionality the printer is capable of however (thanks for nothing Epson). So here is my question; Is there a way to install OSX Tiger using Parallels. I am hoping that I could do all of my pre-print editing in Leopard and then when it is time to print, switch to Tiger and use the Epson print driver (written for Tiger) there, to access all of the printer's functionality.
Can Tiger be loaded on my new MacBook Pro using Parallels?
Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can provide.
Best wishes

Try to install Bonjour and it will help you see your printer in Parallels, OR install a generic printer driver for an epson XXXX similar to yours. Hope that helps a little bit. You DON'T want to run two MacOSs since this would screw up your hard drive installation.
Another way is to install a Bootcamp version of Windows, create your stuff on the mac and then boot to windows, print using their driver, I have had to do that until the Samsung people came up with a version of the driver within Leopard!! I TOLD Leopard to install the Samsung printer drivers, I also saw that there were drivers for epson printers too!!

I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Installing OSX tiger on cleaned out used Mac book Pro

Hi all
I have a universal OSX Tiger install Disc and was wondering if I can install it into a used Macbook Pro which has been wiped clean. Thanks for your help
Web dude

If you mean a retail disk (black with a silver X on it), then no. The retail DVD is for PowerPC only. You can't install it on an Intel based Macbook Pro.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2 GHz
Number Of Processors:

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

I have a unwrapped copy of Mac OSX Tiger and i don't know what to do with it

Hey everyone,
So i don't have a Macpowerbook and i have a copy of mac osx tiger. It was originally my mom's dad's. How ever he has passed away and my mom's mom wants us to sell the osx tiger. What should i do?

If it is a grey colored disc then it is machine specific and only useful to somebody who has the machine model for which it was made. If it is black then it is a retail install disc.
2 years ago you could have sold a retail disc at a premium price. Now I am not so sure. Tiger is now 4th generation behind Lion, Snow Leopard and Leopard. Apple stopped supporting Tiger years ago and fewer and fewer other software packages are being issued that still run on Tiger. Firefox stopped supporting Tiger, Flash (used on just about every web site out there) is no longer being updated, etc. I think the writing is on the wall. One of my favorite web sites that uses Flash stopped working for me yesterday.
A machine specific disc is really handy for somebody who has that machine and completely useless to anybody who doesn't.
The best thing to do is go on e-bay and see what is actually being paid (not asked) for Tiger, remembering to make sure it matches the copy you have. If you do decide to sell it, make sure you tell the purchaser exactly which model disc it is. We've seen many people on here who bought a disc only to find it wouldn't install on their computer.

Going from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5 and Mac OSX Tiger

Hello,
I currently have one of the first Intel Mac Book Pro's running OSX Tiger. I also have a 3GS running ios 4.1 which I'm about to upgrade to the iPhone 5.
What is the best way to back-up/transfer my contacts/txt's/etc from my 3GS to my 5? I can't run the latest version of iTunes and eventually this year I will upgrade to a new iMac which would solve the problem...but for now I would like to transfer all my data over.
Thanks,
Mike

The problem with that is my current iphone is running ios 4.1 and my laptop is running tiger so I don't have icloud. Without upgrading to snow leopard and then to lion/mountian lion to get icloud is there any other option?

MPEG2 codec not working in Final Cut Pro on Mac OSX Tiger

We have been using the File-export-Quicktime Conversion-MPEG2 codec for exporting of files from Final Cut Pro to DVD Studio Pro. On the new mac system that was just bought, the option does not show up.
Currently the system is running Quicktime Pro 7.1.2/ FCP 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 and it is a new mac system running Mac OSX Tiger.
This problem has happened before on a mac running on an older system, but that was solved by reinstalling FCP and then DVD Studio pro and making sure that the QT Pro was of the latest version.
Right now, we have reinstalled everything the same way, tried installing DVD Studio Pro after, we have also done a full software update of the software over the net.
The codec is still not working, all the macs in the office are supposed to be upgraded to Mac osx tiger, but right now we can't do so, cos then we wouldn't be able to burn any DVDs.
Please help, thanks.

The installation of QT 7 is the culprit behind the missing MPEG-2 Export Component. But during upgrades, it doesn't always get rid of the file ... probably what happened on your older system when you upgraded to QT 7 or Tiger. Either the new system came with QT 7 preinstalled, therefore not including the Export Component, or if it was upgraded, the upgrade missed it.
