Can somebody recommend a cheap USB webcam that works on 2011 iMac running lion?

I'm a drummer who sometimes posts videos on YouTube. Sometimes I want an overhead shot of the drums and it isn't practical or safe to hang my iMac 21.5" over my head to shoot the video with the built in camera haha! I tried an old microsoft lifecam and a Xbox live cam but neither worked. I want to use moviemaker. Thanks!

I've used a Belkin F5U233 self powered hub with Mt. Lion and Mavericks.

    Hi Bill I noticed that list you posted mainly shows devices that require purchasing 3rd party drivers from companies such as ioxperts.
    If you use a device that has ralink chipset you can use their drivers free of charge.

  • How can I check for spyware on my Intel based mid-2007 iMac running Lion?

    I recently received a message stating that my Intel based iMac desktop may contain spyware plus a friend sent me a copy of an email to my iCloud email address that i did not send to him, i was not even home using my iMac on that date. I do have anti-virus software on my iMac from Integra and I do a scan each day before i shutdown the iMac and have not received any such warnings from that software.
    I do appreciate any and all advise I can receive in this matter. A long time ago I did receive an email a Yahoo based email address and was notified that I could possibly loose my email account due to junk email being sent from my iMac. I did have the support/warranty from Apple at that time and a phone rep did talk me through steps to check for any intrusion to my iMac with negative results, the iMac was clear of any spyware, etc.
    Hoping there is the same for this issue.

    You can't use a specific Mac OS X disc for a Mac with a different computer. First, call Apple and buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade OS X. Finally, open  > Software Update and install the most recent version

  • Can anyone recommend a good phishing extension that works on the macintosh version of firefox?

    I'm working with an older lady who keeps giving up her password because her older lady friends keep sending her links. I think she finally gets not to click on the links but she is now very, very paranoid and would like that added security of a anti-phishing extension/add-on in Firefox. I looked a few of them but wasn't certain which one would work best for her based on using a Mac.

  • Can anyone recommend a NAS media server that works with iTunes 10.5?

    I currently have an Iomega Home Media Server but have given up on Iomega ever updating their firmware to work with the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions for a suitable (not Iomega) replacement would be gratefully received.

    non out of the box
    the apple programs support accessing from shared itunes lib but only true ones even nas's which say they work like shared libs don't work
    some nas like my sonology have apps for ios which allow me to play the media from them
    and general upnp apps are also supported but you need to use 3th party apps

  • Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7.  I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

    Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7.  I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp.  I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..?  I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption.  Thanks

  • Can I use the ac/usb charger that came with my iPad 4 for my Classic iPod 80GB?

    Can I use the ac/usb charger that came with my iPad 4 for my Classic iPod 80GB?  I think I can, but I'm too chicken to try. Thank you ahead of time,

    Thanks for the quick reply.

  • I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good.

    I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good. Though as Mac has 2.0 is this fast enough? I am a basic user, surfing only.

    If you plan on using the WD with the Mac after the iTunes transfer I would strongly recommend against WD. WD external HD's tend to be the most troublesome with Macs. If you intend to use the drive for backup using Time Machine or creating a bootable clone then I'd recommend a higher quality drive than WD. The drives I'd recommend in that case would be:
    OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
    LaCie d2 Quadra series
    G-Tech G-DRIVE series
    These are all high quality drives and enclosures with similar features. Personally I use the LaCie's however I would be happy to have OWC and G-Tech on my desk too. FWIW I've been using the LaCie's for 4 years and have 4 of them, all work perfectly and have never given me any trouble.

  • Can I disconnect a bitlocker USB drive that is in a state of Decryption (paused) and attach to another machine?

    Can I disconnect a bitlocker USB drive that is in a state of Decryption (paused) and attach to another machine?
    The background on this question is that I didn't realize at first that I was plugged in to a USB 1.1 hub and it took over 1 hour just to get to 1% decryption. I've paused the decryption but a tad hesitant to disconnect and plug in to another system. 

    Hi,
    How about your problem now? Generally speaking, when you encrypt USB drive using Bitlocker, you can pause encryption if you need to remove the device for some reason. If you don't do so, you could damage or lose files stored on the device.
    If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

  • Is there anything out there I can plug in to the USB socket that will allow me to adjust the volume?

    Is there anything out there I can plug in to the USB socket that will allow me to adjust the volume?
    I didn't like the iPod Touch user interface at first, but then I got used to it and now I'm back on the old scroll wheel and finding it a bit clunky to be honest. Whatsmore, I can no longer adjust the volume easily by putting my hand in my pocket and pressing the sides. Why did Apple not think to put one on them, sometimes the design over usability thing is taken too far.
    Some buttons for easily flicking tracks and pausing would have been handy too.

  • Which USB Webcams will work with iChat?

    Hi,
    I'm new to these forums and am wanting to get a webcam, but iSights are no longer available and I don't have the interest or money to get a DV Camcorder.
    So which USB webcams will work with iChat?
    I take it I'll also have to purchase iChatUSBcam or whatever it's called.
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi Iain:
    There is a list of cams on their website:

    The only USB cam that doesn't require iChatUSBCam is the iMage.

  • Webcams that work with Skype 6.3

    Can anywone tell me of a webcam that DOES work with Skype 6.3?
    I would prefer a Logitec - I have the Logitec Quikcam Pro HD which it seems does NOT work with 6.3.
    Thanks in anticipation

    I definitely believe you, all mine are recognized and function.  Due to "ground up" modifications to video, some compatibility was lost on versions 6.2 and above.  If you want your camera to operate, you can either try release 6.5 that came out today or downgrade to 6.1.  One of those should work.
