This the best I can advise because PowerPC®-based computers (like your G5) are not supported with the latest (v.10.2) Flash Player according to this Adobe page:

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

  • ISight works fine in iChat but doesn't show up in Yahoo Messenger nor Skype

    Hello, I was given an iSight webcam that works fine in iChat, but doesn't show up in Yahoo Messenger nor Skype, which are the IM programs I use…
    I search on the Apple Support site a driver to download, but there is only an updater (iSight Updater 1.0.3) which doesn't run on Tiger... Any help please ?? Thx

    You probably don't need it, but the Tiger "iSight Updater" is located in the \System\Library\CoreServices\iSight Updaters\iSight Updater folder.
    (You must look manually because SpotLight does not find it.)
    Double click the "iSight Updater" there to run the Firmware update manually.
    Some options for other readers:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084429&#10084429
    iSight "Product Revision Level" in your Mac's System Profiler shows the installed firmware version for external (Firewire) iSight.
    Firmware 1.0.3 Update offers only "Improved audio performance". It does NOT enable audio or any other function, so that is NOT your problem with Skype or YMM. Search or post in their dedicated help/discussions for best and quickest help with those specific, non-Apple apps.
    Regardless of whether System Profiler utility shows Firewire iSight's Firmware (Product) level of 1.0.2 or 1.0.3, external iSight ought to work. You can test your external iSight using the suggestions on this linked page:

  • ISight works with iChat & iMovie but not with 3rd-party apps

    Hi,
    I cannot get iSight to work at all with aMSN, Mercury Messenger or Yahoo. It is fine with the Apple apps. My son has a G4 iBook and the same iSight works fine on this with the Apple apps and aMSN. We have looked at all the settings we can think of, and they are the same on both computers. There must surely be a very simple answer...
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Bob.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

     Hello Bob. If you unhook your son's iBook from the ethernet cable, plug in your PowerBook where his iBook was, and still have the same problem, you likely need some work on your Mac.
    It may be an issue of the relative health of your Mac versus the vagaries of some third party software:• Be sure you Mac OS X maintenance is up to date.
    • If you have not already done so, try re-applying the 10.4.3 Combo Update. Unless you have a "tried and tested" update method, I suggest a technique such as How I Update My Mac OS X.If that does not help, and if your Mac works with all your other apps, see the app's Help, Readme, or other documentation that came with the download for the problem app(s). If that fails, see the Support sections of the third party app web site to find out its known issues with your Mac and for help on how to install and use their applications. If they cannot help you use their application, you may want to try a different app.
    In the worst case, you may want to get a PC if you must connect to the PC versions of Microsoft or Yahoo! Messenger. These apps are better supported for the PC platform, although they do not offer the features of iChat AV 3.
    The simpler answer is iChat AV, but iChat AV will not connect for video with your chosen third party apps.

  • Brand new MBP, iSight works for Photo Booth, but not iChat

    Hello. I just transferred all my stuff to my new MBP. When I try to video chat in iChat, I get the 'camera in use by another application.'
    I opened Photo Booth and the iSight works fine.
    I deleted the iChat prefs files, but it did not solve the issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    It sounds extreme but is the most successful fix.

  • ISight problem with photobooth, skype, etc

    Hi everyone,
    I've been having a problem with iSight recently. Whenever I try to use it for Skype or PhotoBooth, the green light turns on but all I see is a black screen. It works with flash based websites on Chrome though. I have the Gmail video plugin installed - could that be the problem? How can I make this work?
    Thanks!

    It sounds to me as though you have introduced conflicts with your third-party software (Chrome, Gmail video, etc.)
    Check every one of their web sites to be sure you have the latest versions that are compatible with your Mac OS X (10.6.7). Also, check that there are no "known issues" for your third-party items.
    Also verify that you are using the most current compatible Flash Player:
      http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    If you are still having problems after you have verified all of the above, consider all relevant suggestions from:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    If your problem remains in every user account you test after following the relevant Apple Troubleshooting suggestions, you might want to backup your Mac and then carefully follow the developers' instructions to uninstall +(do not merely drag to trash unless specifically directed to do so)+ your third party browsers and video apps to see if the problem goes away.

    The both screens always worked fine but now the power book doesn't show anything on the screen.  I didn't drop it or even move it.  Where is the brightness button?  Could I have hit it by mistake?
    Thanks so much for your help.
    F2 is the up-brightness button, F1 is the down-brightness button, usually, on PowerBooks.  If for some reason the F1 button got held down for a couple of seconds, the display would go completely dark.
    That being said, if the backlight does not come up (easily determined by seeing if the Apple outline on the cover is lit up) then the most likely suspect would be the inverter board, or the connection to the inverter board.  If this is a Titanium PG G4, the inverter board is easy and relatively inexpensive to replace.  For the Aluminum models, I don't know if that is quite so true.

  • I want to use my computer as speakers for my mp3 without copying all of the music onto the computer. I can get the audio jack working as an input, but how do i get the computer to play that?

    I have a macbook pro and want to use it like external speakers. I have the audio imput registering from the audio jack, but cant get it to play anything. any ideas??

    Hi,
    If your MP3 player is an iPod, iPhone Just plug it into your computer, open iTunesand the devices section you'll see. Select the song you want to listen and ready, use it as your computer speakers

  • My ipad and iPhone have different email addresses in the FaceTime field but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone, how can I get them both working on facebook

    My ipad has a different email address than my iPhone, both are mine but I can only get FaceTime to work on my iPhone but seem unable to change the email address in that field

    If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

  • ISight video freeze (mostly skype)

    Hi,
    every now and then an iSight-using application (mostly skype, but i also noticed it in photobooth) locks up my mac, so i have to do a hard-reset. Cmd+Option+Esc doesn't work anymore. The strange thing is that, when having a Skype conversation, the audio and microphone still works, so i can continue the conversation, but my screen wouldn't update anymore. When i tell the other end to hang up it stays frozen.
    Anybody experienced this?
    Regards
    Fabian

    I looked at that already:
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    > Apparently not since i have the same problem in iChat and PhotoBooth from time to time.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    > That's extremely difficult to test since this happens only once a week or so.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    > It does.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    > I did that a few month ago, it didn't fix the issue. I did it again now.

  • HT2090 iSight Not Working? W/Skype and PhotoBooth

    Hello All,
    My iSight camera isn't working with Skype, or PhotoBooth. I am running  Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The only time I can get the camera to work is after resetting the SMC. The camera will work for a skype session, but then the next time I go to skype, it does not work, and I have to reset the SMC all over again to make it work.
    Does anyone have any fixes?
    Thanks,
    -G

    (0)  Your problem might be a bad Skype install.
    Reinstall the latest Skype version that is compatible with your Mac OS.
    If the problem persists, consider the following:
    (1) When you tried Apple's suggestions, IF, in EVERY user account you tested, the Apple apps also exhibited the problem (i.e., start an Apple app session, quit that app, and try an Apple app again BEFORE you launch Skype,) your Mac OS software may be damaged.
    Properly applying the latest COMBO update for your Mac OS can sometimes correct software problems.  Here is how I do it:
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
       the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1400
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    If the COMBO update did not resolve your problem, reinstall Mac OS X.  Then apply the Combo Update again before testing your iSight's operation.
    If your problem continues after proper reinstall, make a current backup, and then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
    (2) When you tried Apple's suggestions, IF, in EVERY user account you tested, your problem ONLY occurs after you have launched Skype, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.
    Start here:  https://support.skype.com/
    You can also search or post for help with your problem in Skype's dedicated Skype Discussions for Mac.  The Skype users who post there may have already solved the same problem.
    If no other Skype help works, you can sign in and ask for email help directly from Skype's Technical Support people.

  • I need help with ISIGHT!  I can't get it to work with MSN!

    HI,
    My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
    My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
    I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
    ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
    Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
    THANK YOU

    Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
    I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
    aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
    The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

  • How can I fix my iSight settings when it works on one account and not the other?

    iSight continually crashes third party applications. I've checked another account on my MBP, and iSight works on different accounts. What settings can I troubleshoot on the account?
    Thank you!

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be erased. That shouldn't be a problem, because you don't want to mix backup and non-backup data on the same drive anyway. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

  • My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

    My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
    Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

    Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website.  It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
    Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.
