Built in isight question

I just recently switched from pc to mac and i love my imac. Anyways, my question is this......i want to run windows on my mac with parallels and i was wondering if the built in cam will work in windows? If so do i need a driver or program to support it?
imac 17-inch model with 2.0GHz processor Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Welcome to  Discussions, mlogikal
As everyone who has posted here says, your built-in iSight will work with Parallels by using Apple's iSight driver from Boot Camp.
Here is a direct link to the Parallels instructions (FAQ) that Glorfindeal quoted:

Video capture w/ built in isight question

hi video experts,
hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction for something I'd like to try out.. I'm an audio guy so am not up on what's out there on the video side of things....
I was wondering if there's any software that allows you to shoot high framerate video using the built-in isight on say a macbook pro, at something like DV res. I'm thinking at least 60fps but even higher would be great, like say 75fps, triple the framerate up from normal playback at 25. we're looking at shooting some video for a clip, and for the footage we have in mind, the webcam-ey look you get from the isight camera is the sort of look we want. but ideally we were hoping to be able to shoot at high speed (with music playback sped up correspondingly) so when you then play it back at the regular speed you get that realtime yet slow-mo look.
anyway, holding my newbie hat in hand and hoping my question is not too ridiculous, I hope someone can point me in the right direction of some software (shareware, a feature of final cut pro, some obscure quicktime authoring tool, whatever) that can pull off this sort of thing.
thanks for any pointers,
regards,
antonio

hi IDVD,
i think you are mistaken. the ISight didn't stop working everytime an update was done. What all of us mean was, it simply never work again after the initial update, that has causes the issue.
Mine stop working 2 months after i got my mac, it stop all by sudden, and it was only after going thru tons of threads, in this forum, that I realize the problem occur after a MAC update..
you have any solution for any one here, on how to get it back, even though it has disappeared from the system profiler? Apple have no clue and they suggest bring in down for repair.. unfortunately, not all have the luxury of parting with their desktop for even a day for repair, as work is crucial.. me for example..
Actually I have already given up on solving the problem, so if you do have a suggestion to resolve this issue, WITHOUT having to bring the comp in. I would be eternally grateful.

How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
Thanks

Simple question with a not so simple answer.
(a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations. Digital video is processor intensive. The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it. If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus. You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
(b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
(1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
(2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
(3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
(If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
(4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
(5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo. For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

Who can help me out with my built-in iSight issue?

Okay, so I have a question regarding my built-in iSight.
Now, I know... This question may have been asked before but I just can't find it, I guess it got lost in the mass.
If you would be friendly enough to forward me the message or instruct me on what I need to do to solve this, that would be a great help.
Also, I'd like to know if I have to reset anything will I lose everything on my Mac? Should I make an external backup?
So basically the issue is that whenever I turn on Photo Booth the only thing I get is a black screen.
The program will let me take a picture, but when I want to see a preview of the image, it's not there.
I then tried to use my iSight with iChat, which worked perfectly fine. After that I did the same with Skype,
but Skype didn't let me see anything but black as well.
Can anyone help me please?? Is this an issue that can be fixed myself or should I bring it to the Apple Store?
As this is a very important matter to me, because my parents are moving out of the country soon and I would like
to keep in touch through Skype, I would really appreciate all the help!!!
Thank you in advance guys!

You have a software problem that will require troubleshooting. With your parents moving soon, I understand your concern.
Because you have been unable to correct the problem using the suggestions that are already posted in iSight discussions, I suggest you make an external backup and then take your Mac to the Apple Store for service.
If you like, the Apple Store may even be able to suggest training that will allow you to troubleshoot and fix future occurrences on your own.

Making small video "e-mail" with built in iSight

I am very new to the discussions and I apologize for the newbie question...
I travel a lot. I have a new MacBook Pro that has the built in iSight camera. I would like to make little five minute "movie postcards" that I can e-mail to my family to stay in touch. My wife is PC (one of those "mixed marriages"), so I don't think I can get video iChat to work well. So my "video postcard" idea might be worthwhile.
Is there a "beginner's guide" to accomplishing this? It would be great if the little "postcard" was in QuickTime and small enough to send as an e-mail attachment.
Thoughts would be appreciated, and again, I'm sure that this is all beginner's stuff!

QuickTime Player Pro can be used to record an AV Message (File/New Movie Recording), then just select File/Share to send it as an email attachment ...

20" Monitor with (Built-in iSight?)

As soon as Apple updates the 20" monitor with built-in iSight I will be buying one and connecting my Macbook, then retiring my iMac iSight to my wife. Hurry up Apple with the upgrade.
Now for the technical question:
If Apple indeed adds iSight to it's line of monitors and since all the new computers Apple is building these days already have iSight built-in will my dream configuration work.
I know the external iSight works when connected, however there are minor glitches when shutting down, sleeping....

dig a little deeper next time
D/FW, there nothing to dig for. You're asking for functionality and behaviour of a product that does not exist. You're better off speculating in a rumours forum.

Built-in iSight vs External iSight

Hello.
I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro with the built-in iSight camera. But also recently found an external iSight camera at an auction website that I might want to buy. How do the quality of the cameras compare?
Also with two cameras attached, am I able to switch between the two while using quick capture in iMovie 09 without stopping the recording?

eightsecond wrote:

I suggest that you *test any external iSight before you buy*, even if you get a warranty or performance guarantee from a retailer that you know and trust.
Some users who have recently bought used external iSights have posted about their difficulty in the iSight Forum. Here is one example if you do not want to search for yourself:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9015271
External iSight is a great camera, but they are getting old as electronics go, and you have no idea how the one you buy now has been used or treated by its previous owner(s).
I suggest that you buy locally and test any external iSight you are considering on your Mac before you pay for it. That way you know whether it will work, and a local seller may be able to answer questions, if any, about connecting and using iSight before you buy. If you need help with how to make sure an external iSight works, see "How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional."
Even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as NIB (new, in box) or NOS (new, old-stock), it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
Moreover, if you buy an external iSight now, verify whether all connectors, cables, and iSight mounts that you need are included. If some items you need are missing but you still want to buy the iSight, this info may be of interest. (Note that Apple no longer offers the "iSight Accessory Kit, Part Number: M9314G/B" that is mentioned there.)
If you or your Apple Service Technician need but cannot locate something from the discontinued Kit or something from the list in the iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions page, http://www.synaptech.com can help obtain parts that are still available.
If you consider buying an external iSight sight-unseen from eBay or other internet seller, I strongly suggest that you (try to) get a written guarantee that you can have the iSight examined by your Apple Authorized Service Provider and can have a refund or exchange if the iSight doesn't pass his condition verification.
If you are willing to consider alternatives to a used external iSight, you may find this user tip of interest: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211
How do the quality of the cameras compare?
Quality is subjective. You should judge it for yourself by testing.
Here is one comparison example I did some time back. The one on the left is with a built-in iSight, but the current iSights may perform differently.
As is normal for different digital cameras, images comparing two cameras are very different. Which you like better will likely depend on personal taste and may vary with subject matter and lighting conditions. To remove as many variables as possible, I made the following comparison image showing the same subject in the same location during the same video chat using the two different cameras (internal vs external iSight) on same iNtel iMac Core Duo. You can see some of the differences in color balance, sharpening, and contrast settings used by the two cameras. Click the image below if you want a larger picture:
One other possible difference is resolution. All external iSights are 640x480 (Ø.3MP) cameras. I think that all the 2008 MBPs are 1,280x1,024 resolution (1.3MP). To be certain, you can test your MBP's iSight's resolution with QuickTime Pro if you have it. If you don't have QT Pro, use the test explained in this page.
However, depending on which software you use, this resolution difference may not have any practical importance for you. Not all apps can use the higher resolution of the 1.3MP built-in iSights, so there's no need to trade Macs or cameras purely on account of which built-in iSight you have (unless you have a definite need increased resolution.)
Testing is the only real way to determine how images from a particular iSight will look on a particular display when driven by a particular software application. With those tests, each individual can decide whether the image quality is sufficient for his particular need. If higher quality is needed, a good camcorder or digital still camera will give better results than any webcam.
Also with two cameras attached, am I able to switch between the two while using quick capture in iMovie 09 without stopping the recording?
Probably not.
Capturing, converting, processing, and writing video to disk imposes a significant load on your Mac. The exact extent of this load may vary depending on a wide variety of factors including which app(s) you use, the configuration (example: how much RAM is available) of your Mac, which apps are running, how much disk space is available, and possibly even the lighting and complexity of the subject of your recording.
Moreover, although iMovie '09 (iMovie v8.x) can continue to record while a different app is active, not all apps can. For instance, Photo Booth immediately stops recording unless its recording is the currently active window.
Even if you have two apps that each can record in background, trying to process two video streams simultaneously may be beyond your Mac's capability. The only way to know for certain is to test.

Built-in iSight not working with Skype

Hi, I have an iMac Intel Core with Built-in iSight, and ever since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard OS, my Skype does not recognize my webcam- when I select the "Built-in iSight" option, it says it is in use by another applications, and when I select the "Built-in iSight (leopard)" option, it's just a green screen.
I've tried reinstalling, updating, and calling Apple. My friend uses Skype on Snow Leopard with a MacBook Pro 13'' and his works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

For any iSight trouble, start with Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your iSight problem occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
However, if after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, your built-in iSight still does not work, and if it does not show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
If Skype is your only problem app, you can get help for Skype specific questions here:
http://www.skype.com/help/guides/
Skype even has its own dedicated forum for help from Skype users: http://forum.skype.com/
For any Skype questions or problems, you will probably get faster and better help from the Skype users or Skype Tech Support. Search or post in the appropriate Skype Support area.
If you still cannot find what you need, check https://support.skype.com/search_first/
before contacting Tech Support: https://support.skype.com/support_selection
Of course we will be happy to try to help with Apple questions here in Discussions.

IMac w/ built in iSight V standalone iSight

Hello,
In a few days time (I can hardly wait!), I will be the proud owner of a 20" iMac iSight. I have a couple of questions, if anyone can oblige:
Is the iMac's iSight better quality than my standalone iSight?
Will I still be able to use my standalone iSight with my new iMac (i.e. override the built in iSight)?
Thanks.
p.s. - Hope that you all have a great Christmas/Hannukah/New Year.

Hello Zach. Although I cannot cite specific facts in answer to your questions, I decided to post in to say congratulations on your new iMac!
Re quality: the published 640x480 dot resolution is the same for both iSights. However some published reviews report that the software has changed to allow operation in lower light levels. You will soon be able to tell us whether you find the changes to be improvements. Please do so.
If you do not get better info here, you might find some of the info in The built-in iSight in the new iMac G5 (iSight) will give you some reading to help the time pass more quickly during your wait.
I KNOW you will have a happy holiday!

How to use built-in iSight & external Firewire iSight simultaneously?

The solutions I've found here and elsewhere, about launching iChat first so it "controls" the internal iSight and will force the firewire iSight to work, does not work. With Quicktime and Photo Booth, I stll get the feed from the internal camera.
iChat has a dropdown menu showing "Built-in iSight" and "iSight". But when "iSight" is selected, the message "Camera is off" appears.
What is the definitive method for using the built-in iSight and the firewire iSight simultaneously? Thank you.

Hi,
Several answer to the implied questions.
By Default iChat will choose the camera listed in the iChat menu > Preferences > Video section > camera drop down.
(If there is only one camera this drop down does not appear)
The External iSight may need it's iris opened if it is plugged in but you are being told it is Off.
However also you may benefit from ticking the check box about an External Camera at the bottom of the same pane.
As for "Simultaneously" http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html
Other VJ type apps or that will do VJ type stuff are listed here under Movie Capture.

Re: Intel iMac, built-in iSight woes

Hi- That solution did not work for me. My isight is still completely unrecognized by the computer. Help! I did a SMC reset and that didn't help. I keep getting the error message that the camera is in use by another application, even though nothing else is open. I don't even see it in the system profiler though. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Jes.
If you have tried all the suggestion in this link responding to Jinx
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4403376#4403376
but your problem persists, your Mac may need evaluation by a professional Apple Service Technician. However, you may want to consider the following first:
You say that your "isight is still completely unrecognized by the computer."
Does that mean that you have looked in your Mac's System Profiler utility for USB devices? A successful search for your built-in iSight should look like this:
After you have clicked on the USB item in the Hardware column, if necessary, click on the USB High-Speed Bus triangle in the USB Device Tree window pane to make the triangle point down as shown in the image above. Then click on "Built-in iSight" to see your iSight's info below.
If you do not see "Built-in iSight" item in the USB Device Tree pane, take your MacBook back to the retailer who sold it to you or to an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.
<hr width="85%">
If System Profiler does recognize your iSight, tell us which applications you tested to determine whether your issue is application-specific when you tried the How to Troubleshoot iSight suggestions. If you get an error, copy and paste the exact message you get in your response here. Unless you get exactly the same results with all applications, identify each application next to each unique error message in your response.
Also tell us whether your How to Troubleshoot iSight testing gave exactly the same results with multiple user names. Were any of the user names you tested new accounts created specifically for this test, or were all of them pre-existing account names?
We may be able to offer further suggestions based on your responses to the above questions.

Presenter 8 fails using built-in iSight on Bootcamp

Presenter 8 won't work with my Apple built-in iSight camera in Win7 in bootcamp
I have 3 different generations of imac and 1 macbook pro that have the same problem.
Presenter tries to start the camera, the indicator turns on, then after about 20 seconds, it errors out saying the camera is turned off.
If I remove Presenter 8 and re-install 7, it works. If I connect an external USB camera, it works.
I'm caught in the middle on this, as is always the case when I find something weird in my labs.
Neither Apple, or Microsoft, or Adobe seem to care about this because it's a poor configuration. And it is too easy to blame the "Other Guy"!
Please don't tell me I should have bought a windows machine, It wasn't my decision, only my responsibility to maintain.

Hi,
I've been working on computers for over 30 years and it always amazes me how troubleshooting hints are stumbled upon.
Your questions prompted me to check the settings in video creator again. I hadn't previously looked at the resolution settings.
The iSight cameras that were giving me problems are not HD. Changing the setting to SD resolved the issue.
Thanks much for the hint.

Usb video class video vs built-in isight with adobe flash player

to get the built-in isight to work on the mac, one chooses usb video class video.
is it the same for linux?
or does linux call the driver 'built-in isight'?
is it different for different browsers?

(1) Built-in iSight is ALWAYS a UVC device and external iSight is ALWAYS an IIDC device.
I do not see how any software, whether OS or browser, could change those facts.
However, I do not use Linux. Because you are concerned about using Flash for Linux,
it seems to me you need to find the correct version of Flash for the version of Linux you use:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
When you have the correct version of Flash, you can check Flash Help for specifics:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html
(2) Unless you get the specific answer you need here or in your Linux system documentation,
also check the documentation or support pages from the supplier of the Linux you use.
(3) Alternatively, you can search or post your question in a discussions forum dedicated
to your version of Linux.

Major built in iSight problem!

So I opened photobooth today and the image was terribly wrong. The image was in shades of purples, greens and grays, and was very grainy. It wasn't a slight change of what the normal picture looks like, but so bad that it looks like it could be an effect (and it is not.)
Nothing like this has ever happened before. I have no idea what it could be.
I am using a macbook pro, MAC OS X version 10.4.11.
2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB or ram.
any help will be appreciated

Sorry you are still having problems, annefeldman10
So I tried all the different options ...
So you mean that you tried the all except the last one?
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
If you used the last suggestion, too, and have had your Mac checked by an AASP, what did he tell you to do?
My camera is recognized ...
Do you mean that your built-in iSight is recognized as a USB device in your MacBook Pro's (MBP's) System Profiler?
If your built-in iSight does not show up as a USB device in your MBP's System Profiler after you have tried all relevant suggestion (except the AASP one) from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 , you have a hardware problem that will require the services of an AASP.
... only showing a green screen.
Verify that the "Colors:" choices bar setting in your  > System Preferences > Displays window shows Millions. If it is shows something else, correct it.
I am not sure what the reset is ...
The "Reset SMC" suggestion in the first ¶4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
With your MBP, you must follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
... (it only had instructions for powerbooks) ...
If "it" means something in " http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 ", your statement cannot be true. No PowerBook has a built-in iSight.
If you mean that you only have instructions for a PowerBook, you can download the users Guide appropriate for your MacBook Pro at:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macbookpro
... I did the restart and it didn't help at all.
Restarting your MBP is a good idea that often gets things working again. It was wise of you to try that first.
I also suggest that you disconnect all peripherals while you troubleshoot your iSight and keep all applications closed except the one you are testing. Close the first app you test with your iSight before you launch the second one to be tested.
If you meant "reset" instead of "restart," and if you use reset procedures for a "powerbook" instead of a MBP, it is not surprising that those PowerBook procedures do not correct a MBP problem.
If you need to post back for more help, please be as specific as you can. We will try to offer detailed suggestions to your specific questions.

IMac with built-in iSight, PC, Skype compatability

I know this is a simple question, but I read a few months ago where macs had a few compatability problems with webcam communicating to PC's. If both are using Skype, is there a problem webcam audio/visual communicating between a PC and an iMac using built in iSight?
Thanks for any help given.

There can be problems with Skype Mac to PC video connections, of course, but generally I'd say any problems there might be are not attributable to built-in iSight cameras.
