HT2090 External iSight camera video feed working fine but mic is not working Mac Pro 2009 and Mountain Lion 10.8.4

Finally I decided to move forward and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (with all the updates). Now I am facing a dilemma, my external iSight Camera  is working fine regarding the video fee but the Mic is useless. I am using a Mac Pro 2009 and a Apple Cinema Display 30". I checked all the trends about iSight External devices but no one has a really specific solution for my problem. Firewire is not longer supported with Mountain Lion? By the way my iSight was working perfectly before. So I am wondering if something wrong happened with the OS and the support for this kind of device?   I reset the PRAM, the SMC, even I reinstalled the MAC OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4) from scratch. So I am wondering if the problem is that ML is not longer supporting this device or what is the issue here.
Hope someone can help me with it!
Thanks

Not true.  External iSight works fine with my '09 Mac Pro and 10.8.4.

So it must have.

You have tried several good things, but there may be other suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 that you have not yet considered.  Be sure to check more than one Apple app in more than one user account to help you pinpoint the cause of your trouble.  Then you will know what to fix.
In addition to the Apple troubleshooting, check your  > System Preferences... > Sound > Input to verify that your iSight's mic is selected, not muted, and that its volume setting is properly adjusted.  You may need to check this again after restarting Mac or changing apps that use the mic.
Also, be certain that the apps you are testing are configured to use iSight's mic.  Different apps select the mic in different ways.  For example, QuickTime X allow selection among various microphone alternatives via one of its preferences as shown in the image below: 
(I was using my Display microphone and did not have my external iSight connected when I made this image.  Therefore, there is no iSight mic shown in my list of mic choices above.  If your iSight's mic is properly connected, turned on, and recognized by your Mac, iSight will show in your QTX microphone preference choice list.)
If you are trying to use your iSight with a Flash based web site, also check your Mac's  > System Preferences... > Flash Player > Camera and Mic settings to verify that your Flash system preferences are not blocking your mic.
Some other apps may offer mic and or camera selection via their application menus.  If you have trouble finding out how to select the iSight internal mic in other apps, check each apps' Help or post back the name of the app whose selector you cannot locate here so we can try to help.

    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • OUT Binding works fine, but INPUT Binding NOT WORKING at all

    Did you test your Bindable property works in Flex so you can see it change in another component in Flex?
    It doesn't look like you notify that xcText has been changed (and instead you modify the private variable behind it).
    You can try changing your mychange function to set xcText (instead of manually setting myvalue) which should dispatch a change event.
    Or you can try manually dispatch a change event (for the public property that has changed which is xcText in your case):
    var event:Event = PropertyChangeEvent.createUpdateEvent(this, "xcText", null, xcText);
    dispatch(event);

  • I can not get Firefox to recognize my CAC reader or use my CAC reader to access websites requiring CAC login. IE works fine but I do not want to switch back and forth. Any Help?

    I have a CAC reader that Firefox does not recognize. It is installed correctly as have all the necessary certificates and IE can use the CAC reader seamlessly. I do not need the CAC to log-on to my computer, just to log-on to certain websites (mostly military).

    For users that need to change between certificates of their CAC card, I found in Firefox 4.x you have to import the DOD pki files. To do this follow the instructions at the URL below inside Firefox (do all 4). After successfully completing the imports, restart Firefox and when you get to a DOD website like "DISA web-mail" it will ask you to pick the certificate you would like to use. For the email certificate look at the details of each certificate and find the one that has your email address attached to it. This one you much use for all email certificate authentication.

    I have a speaker with I phone 30 pin dock, it use to work fine but i am not getting error saying accessory not supported,how i can determine what could be the problem
    i am getting the same error with my rf transmitter that i use in my car

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Did this start happening after an iOS update? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Synchronization from SLD to LMDB is working fine, but data is not written to Software == Product Instance

    Dear Gurus,
    Synchronization from SLD to LMDB is working fine, but data is not written to Software ==> Product Instance section tab. What could be the problem ? Normally it should gather automatically, but pushed me to select manually lots of component ???
    Here is collecting is working fine !!!

    Hello Kemal,
    You have to ensure that your Technical System info is properly filled automatically.
    In LMDB you first create its Product System on LMDB Start Screen ProductSystem tab, after that please assign its respective Technical System. You probably need to run the Verification Check in order to confirm that your Product System has all Product Instances according on Technical System's Software Component Versions.

  • HT2090 External iSight camera quit working after upgrade.

    My external iSight camera quite working after OS upgrade. It appears the Firewire port is dead. Camera doesn't turn on, no green light. The camera is not recognized by any software.

    Restart your Mac and troubleshoot using http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
    Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test.  If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now.  (A "Standard" account is all you need for testing.)
    If your trouble persists, when you post back here tell us:
       (1) what version of OS X you use.
            (You can find this with your Mac's  > About This Mac menu command.)
       (2) Whether the "upgrade" you mean was an OS X upgrade, an iOS upgrade, or both,
       (3) whether your external iSight works with Apple apps like Photo Booth, iMovie, etc.
            If not, confirm that the symptoms are EXACTLY the same in every user account.
    We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details you provide in your response.

  • External iSight camera video delay in 10.5.2

    Since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, external iSight camera has a short video delay which renders it unusable for video conferencing in iChat AV. Has any one noticed this? The cam has the latest firmware so that is not the problem. The delay is very obvious in Photo Booth as well. The delay is also apparent on my Macbook Pro 17 with built in iSight. Is this normal?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, bzamp1
    I do not experience the delay you describe, but I do not have any known solutions to offer. Because the problem is the same on all of your Macs including your MacBook Pro, you can rule out processor speed as the sole problem.
    Some iNtel Mac users report poor AV sync in Photo Booth even though they are running no other applications and have plenty of free space on their hard drives. However, you experience the problem with other apps, too. The fact that your problem occurs with multiple software applications remove candidate issues like bad applications software, low internet connection speeds, or improper network configuration.
    If you updated to 10.5.2 via your Mac's Software Update... feature, try the following:
    • Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
    • Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
    • Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
    • Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
    Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.

  • Podcast downloads fine, but Subscribe is not working

    My feed validates, is showing up in the iTunes store and I can download individual episodes without problem. Yet when I click the "Subscribe" button, it does not work. The name of the podcast shows up in the Podcasts section of my iTunes, but it does not download any episodes. And when new episodes are posted, those don't download either. Other people who I've talked to who have tried subscribing to my podcast are having the same problem. I've checked all my iTunes settings, and everything seems to be in good order, as I'm having no difficulty subscribing to other podcasts.
    Feed is located here: http://www.natefernald.com/butttalk/buttfeed.xml
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated - I'm stumped!
    Thanks.

    You have introduced a fatal error into your feed: at the moment the Store will be showing a cached version but iTunes cannot read it and so subscribing does not work.
    Several episodes have this:
    <itunes:summary>Adam & Nate talk with Best Week Ever's Nick Turner....
    The ampersand ('&') wrecks the feed because in XML it signifies the beginning of a code sequence which is never finished - this invalidates the rest of the feed including the closing tags, so that invalidates the opening tags and the entire feed becomes unreadable.
    You need to search for every instance of this and replace it either with the word 'and' or with this code:
    &amp;
    I would suggest using the 'and' as being more gramatically correct and less fuss unless you are particularly keen on the ampersand.

  • New AEBS installed, Vonage initially worked fine, but now is not.

    I recently upgraded my home network, ditching the Linksys WRT54G router I had in favor of a new Airport Extreme Base Station. everything has been working fine, but all of a sudden I noticed that my Vonage adapter wasn't connected and was spitting out error 001.
    The Vonage adapter is plugged into a 10/100 hub that's uplinked to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS (I know it's a waste, but nothing on that segment is gigabit capable…)
    I launched into full troubleshooting mode, and determined that the cabling, hub and AEBS are all functioning perfectly. I also don't think that it could be a port forwarding issue, since several days passed between the time I swapped in the AEBS and the time when the Vonage adapter stopped working. In that time, several incoming and outgoing calls took place over the Vonage line and all was fine.
    On a whim, I connected the Vonage adapter to a laptop and set it up with a static IP and attempted to configure port forwarding to it in the AEBS, but there was no change. Incidentally, with the static IP on the Vonage adapter, I was able to ping it from other computers on the network, but it still isn't able to download it's config from the outside world.
    Vonage tech support has been willing to help, but unable to tell me anything useful thus far.
    My question is, is anyone here using such a setup, and if so have you seen any issues like this? I'm really thinking that the adapter has given up the ghost, but I don't know.

    To help you with your troubleshooting you should visit https://forums.vonage.com/
    I had Vonage. Initially it worked then I had tremendous voice dropouts. After weeks of troubleshooting with Vonage (they rolled back firmware in their adapter) it worked... for about 6 months. Then the same problem reappeared. Troubleshooting with Vonage could not solve the issue this time. Since I had to have phone service, I cancelled Vonage and went to ITP. Unfortunately Vonage stuck me with cancellation fees even though their service would not work for me.
