Built in iSight and iMovie HD not connecting.
I would like to make movies with my iMovie with my iSight but I am having trouble doing this. When I go into iMovie [which is the newer version and should work with my iSight] I get a blue screen that says "No camera attached." That does not make any sense whatsoever, it works with iChat and Photobooth.
When I went to the apple store I was told to delete the preferences, which did absolutely nothing. I have tried everything I possibly can...it is just irritating me now. Ha. Can anyone give me some advice with this!?
iMac PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Great links!
It did not work with iMovie HD (5) -- when I unplugged the Firewire camera, iMovie says "No Camera Attached" and does not switch to the built in iSight..
Article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61929
says... "To use the built-in iSight included with some Macintosh models, use iMovie HD 6 or later."
so, I am looking for a hack basically.
Thanks!

Built-in iSight and Logitech Fusion
I have an iMac-Intel with built-in iSight and a new Logitech Fusion web cam. Both work fine in iChat as it recognizes both and let's me easily choose one or the other in Preferences.
However, when using video chat at sites that use the Flash player, only the built-in iSight is selectable and the Logitech cam (also USB) is not.
Is there a way to deactivate the built-in iSight so that the Logitech cam can be my primary cam?
iMac - Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9)This problem occurs because Flash is only listing drivers (instead of devices) and the two cameras are both using the Apple UVC driver. Here's a possible workaround, but I can't try this, as I don't have a Fusion here:
1) Download macam 0.9.1 from here:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
2) Install the macam driver by dragging macam.component to the "drag component to here" folder.
3) Make sure your Fusion is connecting, and open macam.app. If you don't see the settings drawer, choose "Camera Settings" from the "Control" menu.
4) In the settings drawer, you should see a "Disable" checkbox in the lower right-hand corner. If it's checked, make sure it is unchecked.
5) If you made changes, choose "Save Current setting" from the "Control" menu.
6) Quit macam.app, and any open web browsers or video chat programs.
7) Relaunch your web browser and bring up the Flash video settings. You should now see a new item in the list of cameras, as the Fusion should now be using the macam driver.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,

Using built-in iSight w/iMovie on the Intel iMac? Help!
I just got a new intel iMac- and the instructions for using the built-in iSight camera to record video into iMovie 6 are really difficult to find- and most seem to refer to either earlier versions-
Can anyone give me a quick walk through, or point me in the direction of instructions for the built-in iMac and iMovie 6? I'm having a heck of a time figuring it out.
Thanks.
I looked at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61929
& other applications aren't on, etc.-Welcome, Sheila. For what I know about built-in iSight, see Built-in iSight ( Late 2005 -> ). There should be little problem using your internal iSight to record into iMovie 6 if you have the slider under the edit window set at the "camera" (import) icon rather than the "scissors" (edit) icon.
Your questions are more likely related to using iMovie. If the above link and iMovie > Help on your Mac do not get you going, try Apple's Mac 101, Lesson 13: iMovie HD tutorial. That should get you going.
If you need more help with iMovie 6, try searching or posting in the iMovie HD 6 Discussions area.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.
Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanksThere is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems. -
iMovie theatre not connecting on apple tv, says connection or iCloud problems. iMovie theatre working on iPhone and iMac, all other iCloud services working on apple tv. Have restarted apple tv but still not working.
Sadly, I have this issue too. I have all the latest versions of iOS, OS10 and that for my AppleTV 2, but theater does not work for me. None of my iCloud enabled flicks make it to the AppleTV? I'm using the latest TimeCapsule and everything else connected to the net works, just not that. Does anyone have any ideas? I have logged out of my iCloud account and back into it. I have restarted the AppleTV a couple of times without any resolution.

I just got an iPhone 4s, and I can not connect it with my iTunes from my previous account. I have already tried making another account, however it says that I have the wrong security code even though this is not true. What should I do?
Contact iTunes support. There's a link to it on the bottom of every page in the iTunes store.

Yes, my cousins iPod is disabled. It says "ipod is disabled, connect to iTunes", I did that and it will not connect to iTunes, because it needs the pass code. The pass code key board will not show up and I cant connect. Please help me figure this problem out, my cousin is depending on me. Thanks, a concern customer.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7
See this https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131119125513AAtRloc
I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone. -
I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work. It won't show up when plugged into the computer.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates. -

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone. -
I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.
Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system. -
Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.
Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.
