External isight not working with Macbook Pro early 2008

My external isight is not working with my Macbook Pro early 2008 (2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 6 GB RAM, OSX Lion). It goes warm when plugged into the firewire port but is not recognized in system prefs (lists as "unknown device" and also does not turn on (green light. I tried resetting PRAM and all the other stuff as suggested here but no luck. It used to work fine on a 1st generation Macbook and I remember that one of the first times I tried it with this machine here it turned on for a few secs (green light) but then it just simply stopped.
Unfortunately, I have no other firewire device to check the port.
Any ideas, dear community?

Our (old) external Firewire iSights can be sensitive to dust, shock, vibration, humidity, and other environmental factors in storage. (I store my spare in its original plastic shipping case with a new desiccant pack on a solid shelf - never in a desk drawer or other container that moves.)
You have tried several good things and may be finding that your old iSight needs work.
Here are the alternatives I can offer. Consider any you have not tried in any order you like:
(1) You can try Apple's suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
Test in more than one user account and with more than one Apple softwre application.
(2) My expanded suggestions here: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
(3) Reset Firewire ports using the info from this old archived Apple article: http://web.archive.org/web/20090331211534/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
(4) If you have no local Apple Authorized service Provider who can help you, other service options are here: http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
(5) Consider a new USB cam with current warranty such as one of these: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

External microphone not working on mac mini mid 2012

i bought a general electric external headset/microphone for my mac mini. i plug it in and it does not work.... please help because i broadcast on a radio station and need a working mic.

How many plugs does it have?

Usb mike not working with mac mini

Hi,
I bought a samson CO1U usb connection mike to use with the mac mini as there is no mike connection. The device is recognised by the computer but apparently not by i-movies or Quicktime Pro 7 as when I bring up the audio screen nothing registers in the sound level and obviously nothing records - am I doing something wrong or missing something out or is this device just not compatible? Apple help were no help!
Hope someone can be of assistance in this matter as I need to record a voiceover on to an animation video.
cheers, shadwell

Hi, thanks for your reply - did that but still no joy.
In utilities / audio midi it says output ( and input ) not supported and in system preferences/sound the input level is registering nothing.I'm going to try the mike on a friend's laptop to see if it is a problem with the mike or the mini mac - or maybe I'm just making some simple mistake in setting it up in Quicktime.Do you know if any usb recording devices actually do work with the mini mac?
thanks, shadwell

External iSight - no sound with Mac mini 2011

Hello,
I'm trying to connect External iSight camera to Mac mini 2011 (using FW400 -> FW800 adapter cable) but I can't get microphone sound to work...
When I open system prefs>sound>input, it shows iSight is connected but system will freeze for a while (like it's looking for iSight) on openning.
When I try open Skype video preferences, it shows me video from iSight with no problem, but sound doesn't work.
Can anyone give me some advice?

You're welcome.
(1) Your new info indicates to me that there is probably something wrong with your cable(s), adapter(s), Mac mini's Firewire, or your external iSight itself.
You can eliminate most of these by troubleshooting with other cables, adapters, Firewire devices, and Macs as suggested in the info from my earlier link.
If no Firewire device you test on your Mac works with any connecting cable, resetting the Mac's Firewire bus may help. Apple's "how-to" article has been archived in this link. (This link may be slow to load.)
If you have trouble displaying the archive page, here is the pertinent extract on how to reset the bus:
... If the issue persists, try these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
If an individual third-party device leads to the issue, contact the manufacturer for more information and further assistance.
NOTE: Some users who try FW reset forget that "all" cables include the power cable. Disconnecting power is important.
(2) If your troubleshooting shows that your external iSight itself is the problem, you can decide whether you want to have your old serviced. If you do not have access to a local Apple-Authorized Service Provider, you can obtain cost and Apple contact info from http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
(3) Rather than spend more money on your old iSight, you may decide to consider a new webcam. A new Mac compatible USB connected cam with a current warranty will be a faster fix, and it may be lower cost. Some examples are at http://mac-compatible-web-cam.com. Moreover, compatible USB connected cams are not subject to all the same conflicts that sometimes effect external iSight.
Unless you already have a separate microphone for your mini, you can decide whether to buy separate mic or look for a new camera that has an inbuilt mic.

Logic Node 9 not working with mac mini

MBP late 2008 4gb ram 500gb hd + New Mac Mini 2009 Base with 1gb ram
Logic Node installed - settings under audio checked... etc
Node working (slightly) see picture
I had to unplug the edirol keyboard, brother laser printer, fw800 drives, 3 usb hard drives, external alu keyboard griffin powermate and turn off airport to get working.
then after it was working I would still get overload messages (see below)
barely sending anything to the node...
[IMG]http://www.musicrowsongs.com/logicnode.jpg[/IMG]
any ideas?
thanx
michael

1.) when node not working it appears to be the fw800 drives
2) when it does work - no major node processing
[img]http://www.musicrowsongs.com/logicnode2.jpg[/img]
Using a lot of high end waves plugs
mercury v6r7 - perhaps Maserati - API - SSL not going into the node? Why?

ISight not working with mac programs, functional with Tech Tool Deluxe

MBP 15 (late 2008)
iSight not functional, ie "no camera connected" when using photobooth, imovie, ichat, skype, but when I fire up tech tool deluxe 5, it's working - I can see myself and it is functional. Tried all the restarts, etc. Can I fix this myself or is this an applecare issue?
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions, johnnychickenfoot
One of the relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 will get it working.
If you can make your iSight work properly and repeatedly with any app in any user account you test, your problem is software related.
A properly performed reset as suggested in the Troubleshooting article often restores function to built-in iSights. If that continues not to work for you in any user account, consider software troubleshooting like the relevant ideas from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388
Because your iSight works with TTD, your System Profiler should recognize your built-in iSight as a USB device. If you need to post back for other suggestions, please confirm that System Profiler can see your iSight when TTD is not running.

Mini DP to HDMI does not work with Mac Mini 2014?

Hi All,
I just upgraded from a Mac Mini 2011 i5 to a Mac Mini 2014. My old Mini worked fine running 2 displays with an HDMI cable to one monitor and a Mini Displayport to HDMI from the Thunderbolt port to another monitor. I can't seem to get the new 2014 Mini to see the monitor from either the Thunderbolt ports. Is this no longer supported?
Thanks
Ray

Hi there LaureynR,
You should still be able to do this. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for troubleshooting steps.

Tascam US-122 MK II not working with Mac Mini

This seems to be a common issue for many people for many years, but I have not found anyone with this exact problem...:
I am using the Tascam US-122 MK II audio interface with my Mac Mini (latest model). I have connected everything correctly, have installed the correct drive (first from the provided disk, then when that didnt work, from the web).
The device is powered and seems to be working. I can see in System Preferences that the mini picks up the signal coming from the US-122 ( a guitar ).
I have then attempted to use it with GarageBand. I have set the input to pick up the US-122. But there is no sound. Garageband registers no input at all, there is no sound at all, and there is also no out sound from the phones on the device. Having checked with Tascam, the problem doesnt seem to lie with the device.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Could it be that I have to reboot in 32 bit? I don't see why this should be the case.... Thanks!

Thanks. This doesnt seem to have helped, but has made me notice something.
In Audio MIDI Set Up under Audio Devices, I am not able to select the US-122 MKII for sound input: that field is not highlighted. I can only select for sound output, which is of no use...! I have absolutely no idea why, even though it recognises the device, it will not allow me to select it for sound input. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Mic not working with MAC Mini on Line in

Hi,
Just got my MAC Mini 3 weeks ago - I've just tried using my audio line-in mic to do a test call with SKYPE and it doesn't work.
I've gone into system preferences and tried to adjust the input volume but it doesn't seem to want to know...
Any advice for this MAC newbie?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I would say the fact you get some audio from the mic but not enough for viable use indicates that your present microphone is not outputting a high enough signal. Many elecret condeser type mics, and others with battery power sources output below line level voltages, so the input in the mini would simply not be sensitive enough to register the signal, and you would get exactly the results you describe.
There are microphone preamplifiers you could get to boost the mics signal level, or alternatively, a number of other microphones, including almost all USB devices of this type, which would likely serve your purposes very well.

Apple Remote not working with Mac Mini

Hi there,
I woke up to quite a strange problem today... My Apple Remote is no longer working with my Mac Mini! I tried all the controls, including launching front row, and the volume controls - but no go...
I even tried it in Windows BootCamp under iTunes, but it still wouldn't work..
I tried pairing it in System preferences, but again, it wouldn't recognise my apple remote when i held down the Menu+fast forward keys for 5 seconds...
The weird thing is, it works fine with my iMac on another floor (out of plain sight from my Mini..), and it isn't paired with the iMac or anything...
Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks in advance!

So you got a dead remote or a dead battery. Call AppleCare and it will be taken care of. What's the big deal? These things happen from time to time.

Apple aluminum keyboard w/o keypad not working with Mac Mini

I'm in the process of reconfiguring our old Mac Mini to run some of our old games that no longer run on the newer Macs. We had a spare Apple aluminum keyboard (without the numeric keypad) which I thought I'd use with the Mini. The alphanumeric keys work fine, but the function keys don't seem to. (In particular, I can't get the volume keys to work.)
I've checked my keyboard settings in System Preferences. Software Update shows everything up-to-date.
The aluminum keyboard WITH the numeric keypad works fine with the Mini. Also the keyboard without the keypad works properly with my Intel iMac.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Hi,
am I right in assuming that you are talking about the Wireless Aluminum Apple keyboard ?
If so, the 2009 version of it requires OSx Leopard 10.5.8 to work properly.

The 2007 version of that keyboard requires at least OSX Tiger 10.4.10 plus this keyboard software update http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2394
Maybe downloading and apllying the update can help.

Stefan

Airport mirroring not working with Mac mini osx 10.8.2

Apple TV late 2012
Mac mini late 2012 OSX 10.8.2 server
I recently purchased a Mac mini to replace my ageing Mac Pro G5 server
All worked well until I updated from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2
Although mirroring works well with the iPads it is corrupted when trying to view the Mac mini.
Any ideas appreciated

the next thing i would confirm is that there is no network issue. is your mini connected to your home network via wifi, or wired? if it's wifi, then i would try to connect it with an ethernet cable, just for testing purposes. if it's connected via wired connection and that's how you're getting your green screen, then it warrants a trip to visit the "geniuses" (please Apple, don't censor me for putting geniuses in quotes). because you would've effectively isolated the problem to your mini. good luck.

Magic trackpad not working with mac mini

I have a new Mac mini and I paired a wireless trackpad and magic trackpad. I paired the trackpad with my MBP and it works exactly like the trackpad on my MBP. When I use the trackpad with the mini, I can't get it to "right click" or two finger scroll. For example, if I'm in iTunes, and want to scroll through my library, a two finger scroll on the trackpad just moves the curser, the only way I can move up and down on a page is to use the arrows. I can't get it to give me anything with a right click. When I go to System Prefrences, it only shows "keyboard" and "mouse", but no set up options for the trackpad. And under the mouse settings, it doesn't give me any "secondary" click options. What am I missing?

I had the same problem. Rebooting the computer fixed the issue for me.
