3rd party mic & web-cam for 1GHz mirror G4

hi,
I have try the old apple mic & got a mic froma computer store but all doesn't work...
Seems like all the salesman does not know much about mac and keep giving me the wrong information... and they don't accept returns...
Pls recommend any cheap or good mic & web-cam that works for my G4.
Also is there anyway to tell if the product works with mac as the packaging normally only give infor for PC. I have so far collected alot of 'junk' which the salesman promise it works with all computer but that doesn't seems the case... not for me...
I'll be using the mic & web-cam mostly on skype. Thanks

Hi-
The following is a list of Mac compatible web cams, particularly when used with Skype:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=69289
Note that many use the Macam driver, or for example, as in the case of the Logitech QuickCam Ultra, no driver. I use the Ultra, and have had no problems. Most of the logitech line, as well as the Macally camera, will give good results
To use many of the cameras with iChat, the iChatUSBCam is the ticket.

Web cam for mac

My grand kids have just got an e mac and have set up msn messager to talk to their friends. I thought about buying them isight web cam for them for Xmas but the are expensive. Maybe this is not a good site to ask this question but anyone know of a good alternative which is more affordable?

The Mac version of MSN Messenger does not support video. Yahoo messenger's software supports video from Macs, and iChat supports video chatting with AIM.

Web Cam for eMac?

I'm looking for an inexpensive web cam for the eMac. It's just for the kids so I don't need an iSight or anything like that. Hopefully under $50. Any recommendations?

Web Cam for Apple Macbook.

Has anybody purchased the latest web cam for Apple. Review please.

I get great results with a 12-month old Logitech Pro 5000 USB camera. Prior to the purchase of this C2D Mac mini, I used it with a 1 GHz eMac running Leopard & an 800 MHz iBook running Tiger. Since the arrival of OS 10.4.3, support for USB webcams has been built in.
I was surprised that the eMac worked as it is an older one without USB 2.0.
Prior to the purchase of the Logitech camera I also achieved excellent results using a Mini DV camcorder which connects via Firewire.

Alternate web cam for Mac

Hi guys, this may be only for Aussies and NZ's.
I have a imac G5 and was wanting to get a web camera for it. The isight is way too expensive for what it is, and the logitech 400 camera is also in the $140 mark. As I don't really care about the rez and so forth, I don't really want to pay so much money. There used to be a macally one that typically sold for around $50, but I can not seem to get it in Australia any longer.
Anyone know about any other possible web cams for mac that would be in the no-so-expensive range, and could be in Australia?
Thanks
Connor

Hi Connor --
Is this what you had in mind: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001JSSLI/104-4462944-9175107?v=glance&n=17228 2
If you do decide to get it, or any other USB webcam, then don't forget to also get Ecamm's iChatUSBcam software.
FWIW, I love the iSight -- I realize it's expensive, but if you use it a lot you learn very quickly to appreciate the superior picture, sound and style.
Either way, enjoy your cam...

3rd Party SATA raid cards for internal drives?

All --
Apart from the discussion as to if RAID actually benefits a home desktop system, I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
My Mac Pro is still slated to be built at Apple and for now I have the minimum memory and HD spec being requested at Apple, with the plan to upgrade the memory and drives from OWC or another vendor.
I've toyed with the idea of utilizing Disk Utility's software RAID features (e.g. RAID 0 for scratch disks, RAID 1 for boot, RAID 0+1 for all else.) I've also toyed with the notion of searching for a hardware raid solution which would allow me to transfer the internal SATA cable runs from the motherboard to a host adapter card for an internal multi-channel experience (with options to create and break mirrors to external devices for backup purposes.)
So....
Has anyone experience or utilized 3rd party hardware raid controllers which can connect to the internal HD bays? Are there limitations to this (ie, does the boot drive HAVE to reside off the internal motherboard controllers, or can an internal hardware controller successfully boot the system) of which ought be noted?
Finally, in the event that a host adapter card cannot drive the interna bays, can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
Thanks for your time,

I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
There are many 3rd party controllers that support the internal HDs if an internal iPass connector is used. The problem is that some are bootable but most are not.
The Areca ARC-1680ix-12 and the HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 are bootable. However, the system cannot be installed via the Apple DVD. Instead the user needs to clone a boot drive with the proper drivers to the boot volume on the controller and then boot from the 3rd party controller.
The other issue I found is that these controllers do not support Boot Camp. If Boot Camp is desired, my recommendation would be to leave the internal HDs on the Mac Pro internal bus intact and use the 3rd party controller for external storage. This method provides four internal bays that are bootable, support Boot Camp and can be used for system backups. I use the 3rd party controller for external storage for large RAID sets and hot swapping hard disks.
With the internal bays intact and external hot swap RAID storage available the user can support Boot Camp, multiple system volumes and large external RAID sets. From my experience using a 3rd party controller with the internal HD bays always has some limitations. The user usually does not realize it unit later when Boot Camp does not work or the computer fails on a system upgrade or the controller does not work at all with a new version of Mac OS X.
Staying with the standard internal Mac Pro bay configuration will be the best configuration to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of Mac OS X. It is rumored that the new Snow Leopard may require 64-bit drivers. If that is the case, I would expect most if not all existing 3rd party controller drivers to fail. Some drivers will be upgraded after a few months while others may not. Having the internal Mac Pro SATA controller intact should at least allow the Mac Pro to boot if my guess about compatibility issues is correct.

There are a large number of external controllers that work with Disk Utility. Here are some of my favorites.

Open a form from a 3rd party Java/Web based application

Hi All,
I am working for a client who has a 3rd party web application built in Java.
For one of his requirements, he wants to open a form, an apps standard form on the click of a button/url in their application.
This appears like a normal form opening from the single-signon screen where you have the self service single sign-on page, it opens the apps forms on click of the url. Can we use the same logic here? This being the case, just curious to know how is the url to open the form built? (I see that the function name, resp id etc are there in the url) So that, I can actually manipulate the url to open the forms from a url. Please see that the custom application also is included into our Oracle apps, so the user is already logged in. We just need to open the form from the click of a url/button.
Thanks,
Srini.
Thanks,
Srini.

If the ICX_SESSION is already available then the form(I am assuming you are refering to a web based form here) should open directly if the function should be accessible to the user logged in. When you say your custom application is included in Oracle apps are you launching these pages from the Ebiz home page through menus and functions ?

How do I activate web cam for Skype ?

I have just received this as a gift but cannot operate web cam when trying to answer Skype calls, is this possible ? Thanks in advance !

Whilst I appreciate your responding - I do not think this helps with what I was enquiring (at least not without further explanations anyways).
I am aware of, and do use, the function - System Preferences > Keyboard > Text - for various replacements like (tm), (c), etc .... and also for fractions like 1/2, 1/4, 1/3.
However, my question was in relation to SUPERSCRIPTS for dates / numbers - namely, superscripting numerical suffixes for things like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
So - please help - HOW do I set this up ? If indeed it is possible without System Preferences > Keyboard > Text ???

Can I use my iPhone or iPad as a web cam for my PC via the USB connection?

I've seen quite a few Apps for doing this wireless, most of which a very poorly executed OR don't work at all. I'm just wondering why it hasn't been more popular to do this via the USB connectivity.

Thanks Lawrence but the point is, I already own the $600 dollar device (given as a gift) and secondly because to purchase a web cam that has the same quality as the iPhone is actually just a bit more than $10 and I'm not really desirous to spend anymore money based on my budget. Any ideas of whether or not it can actually be done via USB OR do you have experience with an actual App that works via wireless to a PC? Thanks again...

After upgrade 3rd party apps are looking for serials

Not wanting to jeopardize my Mavericks install, I cloned my main HD and after checking that the cloned drive did boot, I installed Yosemite to it. Despite all my apps showing up in the application folder, some won't open and some are requesting I reinstall the serial numbers. I used Carbon Copy and asked it to clone all files. Are there hidden files it missed or is this requirement to reregister all the 3rd party apps. normal?

Same problem here too!! Here's my Log:

Is there an add-on web cam for an iBook?

I have an iBook G4 that is over a year old, and does not have a built in cam. I've had a hard time finding one that works with mac, and is compatible with Skype. Do you know if there is such a product out there?
thanks!

Hi,
For others and all,
It is a question of the Mac seeing the camera (having drivers)
The way firewire works the camera is going to be seen.
USB cameras are a bit different.
The options are:-
Any Firewire DV output (6 pin to 6pin) Camcorder
Any Firewire Web cam
Any USB cam that has Mac drivers and this Utility http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
The chances are that any USB cam is going to have Windows drivers (if you need them for a Intel)

3rd party dip to silence for audio transition?

I'm using the dip to black between video segments. I would need an analog dip to silence for audio. I'm aware of the workarounds like using the keyframes or shorten the track for one frame, apply constant power on both sides, and then lengthen the track again. The workarounds take too much time and on 150 segments they are both incredible big pain.
I need to be able to accomplish the needed result in less time and with less frustration and stress. I don't understand why Premiere CS6 still doesn't have a dip to silence for audio. I tried to find a 3rd party transtion, but haven't been successful, yet. Does anybody know something? Is it possible to program an own transition?
Thanks for any help.

Any 3rd party scripts or scripters for RH9?

I have a training client who uses RH9 and who has some project needs that would lend themselves well to scripting. However, none of the scripts that ship with RH9 will do the trick and the scripts that I've found on Peter Grainge's and Willem van Weelden's sites, aren't what he needs. Are there any other sources of scripts for RH9, or is anyone on this list doing 3rd party script development?
Thanks,
Neil Perlin

Hi Neil
Can you provide some detail on what is needed?
I'm aware you don't frequent here so you are likely unaware that often we see engineers from Adobe that will offer a script to accomplish a task. So perhaps if you could advise what is needed you might find that a script would be offered.
Cheers... Rick
