Does the Video CAM EYE from Genius work on the Mac Mini (pre-2009)

I purchased it on ebay specifically because it was Mac compatible but now having difficulty getting it to work with our system. Appears to require PowerPC processor but it was not clear if it could also work with our processor (Intel 2 core duo).
Any input?
If it CAN'T work, what should I look for?
It's just so my husband and I can see/talk to our daughter at home (and vice versa) while we are on a 2 week trip.

Did your product come with the Genius CD-ROM? Did it install WebCam Monitor for you?
Info in the instruction manual and at the Genius Web support site.

  • How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

    I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
    I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

    Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding.   Micdude001

  • My  Samsung Sync Master 225UW's camera (webcam) won't work with my Mac mini

    Hi,
    I need help making my monitor's webcam work with my Mac mini. I have Mac OS X 10.5. When the computer launches the screen turns on, everything's perfect but the webcam will not turn on when I launch Photo Booth or iChat....what should I do?

    That camera doesn't work with my mac either (I'm using it right now with a g4 powerbook, but will try again with my new power mac coming in... though I doubt it will make a difference)
    The 225UW is specially made for Windows Vista, and I wonder if it needs a mac driver for the camera or something. We may be S.O.L. I knew that was a possibility when I ordered this monitor. Oh well... pay yer money... take yer chances.

  • Does an Airport Express v1 from France work in the United Arab Emirates?

    I have an Airport Express v1 that I bought in France and worked perfectly while there.  I recently moved to Dubai and am having lots of problems with it: either (1) it assign an IP address of 169 with Subnet Mask of 255 and no Router or DNS info, (2) it assigns an IP address of 94 with subnet mask, router and DNS info, or (3) no IP address is assigned.  In the first case with 169 the internet does not work on the wifi device, in the second case with the 94 address it does... however in all cases the signal is inconsistent so that the 169 could turn into a 94 and suddenly start working, or more likely it drops to a 169 and I lose connectivity.
    I've done a factory reset but this did not help.  I'm not using another router - just plugging the express into a wall and connecting it via ethernet cable directly into the wall jack.  The only thing I noticed is that the country selection for the express only has European countries, and I cannot select United Arab Emirates, but not sure if this is causing the problem.  I don't want to spend money on another device if it's not going to fix the problem, but I can't understand what's causing the issue.  I contacted my ISP and they had no clue. 
    I hope someone on this forum can help!

  • My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?

    No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
    Good luck.

  • I am trying to connect my Sony DCR-TRV350 to iMovie so that I can make DVD's from family videos.  I am having problems getting the video camera connected.  Any advice on how to do this?

    What happens when, after you connect your cam, you go to File > Import Media?
    But before that, does your cam require you to export your video files upon USB connection? I have a JVC Everio HD and I have to "Export to Library" from the cam's menu first-thing. This was true even in prior iMovie versions.

  • Any ideas why the video camera on my imac is not working?

    Does any one have any idea why the video camera on my imac is not working? I have been using skype on my imac for some time and recently I have discovered that it wont work, could this have anything to do with the mountain lion upgrade?

    Have a look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090?viewlocale=en_US
    I think I'd start with the SMC reset.

  • How do I mute the sound from the video camera when burning a DVD

    Hi there.  I'm a new user of Elements 8.  I have compiled some clips and added a soundtrack to the movie,  When you preview the file you don't hear the sound from the video camera but when I burn it to a DVD you still hear the video background.  How do I burn the DVD without the background sound from the video camera?  On the DVD I only want to hear the soundtrack I added.
    Thank you,
    Doug

    Thanks guys.  Both options worked.  Dowside to deleting audio (option I went with) appears to be that you lose the audio forever.  So if I ever wanted to bring the audio back I wouldn't be able to.
    You are partially correct in that the Audio is no longer on your Timeline. It is still in your Project Panel, and you can move it back to your Timeline if ever needed. The complete removal from the Timeline is why I work with the Audio Mixer in cases like this. Also, on could alter the Gain on a Clip by Clip basis.
    With using the audio mixer it appeared I had to mute each clip separately.  When I highlighted all the clips and selected mute for audio 1 it wouldn't mute all of the selected clips.
    The Audio Mixer works at the Track-level, and not at the Clip-level. That is why I use it so often - one click, or slider adjustment affects the entire chosen Track. If it did not work at a Track-level for you, something is wrong. Now, if one has Clips on different Tracks, then Muting of all of those would be required, or one would have address things on a Clip-level basis.
    Any way to use the audio mixer to mute the clips in mass?
    See above for how it should work, and also the exceptions - Audio on several Audio Tracks.
    Good luck, and remember that your Audio still resides in the Project Panel, should you ever need it again.

  • Macbook pro fails to read sd card with movies recorded on it, any ideas? I can view them in the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it.

    My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
    I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.

  • How can I save an imported video in Premier to the program, rather than hooking up the video camera?

    I'd like to save the project onto my computer so that the video camera does not have to be present as the souurce for the data.  I'd like to save the data to my computer, preferably within Premier Pro.

    Hi stros29,
    Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
    As I understand you want to copy data from the Video camera to the system.
    You can use Adobe Prelude ( for card base camera only).
    Please check this article :http://helpx.adobe.com/prelude/using/prelude-projects.html

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    i try to keep my thumb palms off the mouse pad when i am typing but every now and then my screen resizes larger or smaller until i take my left palm off the keyboard base its only when my left palm is resting on the base next to the touch pad. i type pretty fast so it gets annoying and yes it also jumps screens or reverts back to previous message and i have to choose ctrl z to undo and get back to my message i was typing... it also switches tabs on me as well... not sure why my palm being on the left of the keypad on the base should effect anything but it does after a while. and i have to stop what i am doing...and go to the firefox menu and change the screen size back down to 100% sometimes it goes up to 200-300 other times it goes down to 70-80% i find it annoying i i wish there was a way to turn off the screen resize in the setup panel. if its just left to be 100% i am happy with that... i don't need it to be bigger or smaller... there should be a way to LOCK it down... i understand that there are people out there with eye problems and needs to have the screen size increase using the + or - but there should be a lock so it just stays no matter what is happening on my keypad or touch pad or base of the pad... that screen size will not increase or decrease. unless i turn off the lock... perhaps this is something they can implement in the next version or do a quick update of the browser

  • How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.
    http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    http://www.ioxperts.com/dcam.html
    I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.
