External iSight with Intel MacBook

Hi everyone, can I use an external iSight rather than the built in one, I have a 3 month old MacBook with dual core Intel proc.

Hi grindrod,
Yes.
iChat will add a drop down to iChat > Preferences > Video section where you can switch between the two.
iChat will default to the Firewire cam without making a selection.
iChat does not need restarting to recognise the Extrernl cam has been unplugged.
PhotoBooth will also default to the Firewire cam but not give you a choice anywhere.
If the camera is now unplugged PhotoBooth has to be restarted.
iMovie already has a drop down for the camera selection but will only list one cam if that is all that is attached.
Have not tried Comic Book that is bundled on my MacBook Pro.

    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

  • Only black screen on the external monitor with intel-virtual-output

    Hello,
    I tried to install bumblebee on my Lenovo W520 with this tutorial:
    http://www.unixreich.com/blog/2013/linu … ly-solved/
    I can activate my external monitor with "intel-virtual-output" and the monitor is switching on. But I can only see a black screen.
    In the settings of gnome I can see my external monitor and configure it - but it shows nothing.
    Have you any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

  • Using an external display with the macbook air

    hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks

    Yes.  You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a  Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
    The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.

  • Can you use any external display with a macbook?

    hi all,
    I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

    To original poster:
    Yes.
    Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).

  • Trouble using external iSight with MacBook Pro (which has built in camera)

    Hey Jim,
    Have a question for you. I have a new MacBook Pro 17". I also have a 23" Cinema Display, and a left over Firewire external iSight camera (which I used to love).
    Frequently I "dock" my MBP with my 23". I either use the dual-screen between the two, or I close the lid on the MBP, let it go to sleep, then wake it back up with a BT keyboard or mouse, letting it go to a single-screen mode on only the 23" Cinema Display.
    So, I'm trying to use my external Firewire iSight with my MBP, and I'm getting mixed results -- the best of which is where I am getting some video with regular, occasional freezes with the picture being split (like a v-hold problem on an old TV). After a pause it goes back to smooth video.
    I guess primarily, I'm wanting to know what the world of two iSights (FW and built-in) look like, and can they work together? I cannot for the life of me get this FW iSight to work consistently, but I know it works perfectly in another G5 tower (which has no built-in camera).
    Any suggestions or guidance?

    Hello Exivus
    ... two iSights (FW and built-in) ... can they work together?
    You can have two iSights connected at one time, but, as explained in Apple's iSight "Your camera is in use by another application" message, iSight can be used by only one application at a time. (my emphasis)
    Different apps select between multiple connected cameras in different ways. For instance, iChat > Preferences... > Video settings can select which camera to use with the iChat app, but iMovie 6 uses a drop-down menu as shown in this picture:
    The suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight should help you determine whether one of your iSights is causing trouble. I suggest you test each one separately and without your external display or other peripherals to rule out possible conflicts.
    After you are certain that your iSights are working individually, test them when both are connected. After your system successfully passes these tests, you can add your external devices back one-by-one to be sure one of them is not causing the problem.

  • Using External iSight with MacBook Pro / iMac.

    Posted in both forums.
    Internal iSight is great, but the external iSight offers so much more flexability, and been able to position the camera where you want it is much better than tilting the screen and moving the computer.
    So can you use external camera's with the MacBook Pro's and iMac's?
    *nathan

    Great! Thats awesome.
    Have you tried it? If so, does the Mac automaticlly switch to the external iSight, or do you get an option to choose between internal and external.
    Thanks,

  • Using external iSight with MacBook Pro crashes iChat

    I use my Macbook Pro in clamshell mode with an external display. I bought an external iSight so that I could use iChat AV. I have the appropriate adapter to convert the Firewire 400 cable to Firewire 800 which is compatible with my '09 MBP 17" (2.8GHz).
    Every time I connect the iSight, iChat will launch, and then will crash (SPWoD). I can not recover unless I disconnect the iSight, at which point iChat is able to fully launch.
    I tired changing both iChat and Photobooth to 32-bit mode (hint from another thread), but that did not help.
    As a test, I connected the iSight to an iMac with both FW400 and FW800 and the iSight works perfectly with either connection. iChat AV then allows me to then select which camera I want to use in its preferences.
    Both my Macbook Pro and the iMac are on OS X 10.6.2. iChat crashes regardless of if I am using the MacBook Pro in clamshell mode or not.
    TIA.

    Thanks for that info, bryanus
    Between this info and your latest response to Ralph, there are so many possibilities that I cannot yet identify the source of your problem. More troubleshooting is needed to identify the cause so we know what to fix.
    Your used iSight may be causing the problem. Because it is easiest to troubleshoot, I suggest you test the external iSight next. The following will either eliminate your external iSight as the cause of your problem or let you know whether it will require professional service.
    If the testing I suggest below shows that the problem is related to iChat ONLY, stop the testing I suggest and follow Ralph's expert suggestions for troubleshooting and correcting iChat.
    Don't worry about the "clamshell mode" issues at this time. Until you get your external iSight working reliably with your MBP, keep the external display disconnected.
    Additionally, to eliminate possible network problems as a contributor to your problem, when testing (internet) connected apps like iChat, use the same ethernet connection when you test both Macs. Even use the same ethernet cable (no wireless) connection to all Macs.
    Also, to test problems with launching iChat, _disconnect both Macs from the network_ to see if iChat will launch properly with a connected external iSight but no internet or network connection.
    You have already done some excellent testing, but you can use the additional suggestions from the following link (including other subject links on that page) to test the remaining user-correctable possibilities:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    Pay particular attention to *possible conflicts*, testing with more than one cable and/or adapter, and testing the external iSight on more than one Mac. If possible, it would be also good to use your same cable and FW Adapter to test your MBP's function with a different and known-good external iSight. If you have no other access to a working external iSight, your local Apple-Authorized Service Provider may be have one that he can use to check your MBP connection.
    If your external iSight can connect reliably to other Macs, or if a different, known-working, external iSight also gives trouble on your MBP, the problem must be either in your MBP's physical Firewire connection port or in the software on your MBP.
    Unless you find a fix while trying the above, we can offer suggestions for the particular problem(s) you identify based on your troubleshooting, so give as much detail as you can about your findings when you post back.

  • Trouble using external iSight with MacBook Pro

    So I bought a macbook pro and 23inch external display, decided to go on ebay and get an isight camera, found one brand new in the box....the problem Im having now is it will not work for audio, video works just fine but no audio, I have set up the proper resources but no dice, is this an issue or is it the isight?

    Hello Russell Wittmann
    So external iSight can give both audio and video if the application you are using to operate the iSight supports both functions. Many applications have preferences or menu items that can effect iSight operation, so check your settings.
    Connect your iSight directly to your Mac and use the suggestions in How to test your (external) iSight to ensure it is functional. If you continue to have problems, the suggestions on that page will help you troubleshoot to find the source of your problem and fix anything that is user-correctable. 
    There are no user-serviceable parts in iSight, so if everything you can do fails, your iSight will need professional service unless you can exchange it for one that works. If the external iSight you bought on eBay is not covered by warranty from either Apple or the seller, see your local Apple Service Provider for service.
    If your iSight needs parts that you or your Service Technician cannot locate, http://www.synaptech.com may be able to help you obtain those that are still available.
    If your iSight needs service but you do not have access to an Apple Service Provider, see Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions to request service directly from Apple.

  • 2004 external iSight with G4 Ti not working

    I've read through many of the comments here, and all seem to point me toward a firewire port failure. See what you think.
    Both my external firewire iSight and G4 Ti PB are 2004. I'm running 10.4.11. I was using the iSight only occasionally for much of this time with no problems, then reconnected it and nothing. The curious thing is that when I connect it to the single firewire 400 port on the G4, the green light comes on briefly, then goes off. Here are the particulars.
    First, and perhaps foremost, Profiler recognizes the firewire port, but neither iSight or a fairly new firewire drive are recognized (when I initially installed the drive, it was recognized using the firewire connection, and it is still recognized using a 4-pin-to-usb cable).
    I can't change the cable on the camera because it is fixed on this model. I did purchase another firewire cable to test with the hard drive, and it was still not recognized by the G4.
    iChat, Skype and iMovie now do not see iSight.
    At some point I did upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4.X, but don't remember if this was before the G4 iSight.
    Haven't installed much new software at all.
    I have a 2004 G5 desktop, but it went south in many ways, including inability to see any of its firewire ports, which I have not been able to reset. The fact that system profiler doesn't see either iSight or the hard drive does point to a firewire port failure, but it's hard for me to believe that it would fail with such light use. I've read through the Apple and EZ's trouble shooting tips, tried restarting, fsck, safe boot, etc. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Thanks, EZ for taking the time to respond and share your expertise. You are truly a Mac Wiseman (not wiseguy, as we each have occasionally encountered).
    I have been using Macs since 1984, and (at my place of work) DOS computers since shortly after that. From my experience, nothing happens by accident, i.e. there is a reason for each of us that we experience what we do. In-which-case, the “strange” failures of both my G5 and G4 must represent a problem for me to solve, a redirection, whatever. And in addition, my lightly-used Book terabyte hard drive failed, started to make a mechanical clicking sound and won’t boot (so this be sorta like the trials of Job)... (quote extracted for comment below)
    I have done a clean install of 10.4 on the G5 and G4 separately. I have run diagnostics (TechTool Pro, etc.) that return no hardware problems.
    Regarding longevity, when the G5 was about 3.5 or so years old, it began to get kernal panics, freeze, gray screen with reboot instructions, etc. I took it to the Apple store and they told me it was either the power supply or CPU. I asked them to fix it, said I’d pay. When I retrieved it, they said it was the power supply. I paid them several hundred dollars, took it home, and it began experiencing the same sorts of kernal panics, etc. just on the other side of the 90-day warranty.
    Apparently, it wasn’t they who were at fault. It was, from all I have learned since on these and other discussion boards, a simple matter of longevity (I tried many of the recommendations, swapping ram, software stuff such as safe boot, fsck, all the usual and even odd remedies, etc.). Then the G4 PB began to fail, though not quite as seriously. Perhaps we have a waft of Radon coming up through the basement floor. I will have this checked.
    In any case, I am not prone to trust the Apple store, especially if the situation is based on simple longevity, and finances are tight. We do have a Mac repair business in the neighborhood, and I believe in supporting local business.
    As I mentioned, I now have no firewire on either computer, although the G4 at least recognizes its firewire port. I tried the firewire reset on both computers without success. I have used the camera to connect to two important people – my son and his family in D.C., and my longtime friend in Japan, Go figure! I still have Skype and Jajah voice, but ya just can’t beat video.
    Ever see the film “The Ghost in the Machine”? . . .
    Thanks again for your time,
    Greg
    You're welcome, Greg
    Thanks for the additional info.
    It is apparent from your latest post that you are an experienced user who can make whatever possible meaningful use of the info I shared in my previous post without further input from me. I will offer only a few responses regarding your latest post:
    My iSight camera came directly from Apple and does have a cable “hard-wired” to its. It must be one of the first models. It has a dome base with a bendable goose neck about 2’ high and the actual camera piece plugs in to a firewire connection at the top of the goose neck. It hasn’t been stored, just sitting on the table by the computer with a lens cap on to protect it, with all plugged into an industrial-strength surge protector.
    (1) Between the above quote and your exchange with Defcom regarding Sightflex versus iSight, I am confused.
    I cannot understand how a "base that can't be disconnected" can have "the actual camera piece plugs in to a firewire connection at the top of the goose neck". Connections that plug in would seem to be directly contrary to anything that cannot be disconnected.
    Moreover, although you may have bought them at the same time, the Sightflex base is NOT an Apple product, nor is it part of iSight.
    Perhaps your meaning for "iSight" either interchanges or combines the Apple iSight camera with the Sightflex mounting stand from Flex Cable. 
    Notwithstanding the above, it should be easy to use the testing suggestions I offered in my previous post to verify whether your external iSight will work on another Mac that has known working Firewire connections. That test will tell you whether you must consider repairing your iSight itself, and possibly the SightFlex cables or connections, in addition to your Macs' Firewire problems.
    (2) Regarding longevity, my previous Tower Mac (Power Mac G5 Dual-Processor) served me daily for more than 5 years without any problem. Of course, like yours, it never ran except "plugged into an industrial-strength surge protector."
    Although I sold my G5 when I got my new iNtel Macs, my external iSights still work with all my Firewire equipped Macs.
    My old G3 iBook SE is so old that it did not ever have Firewire. It traveled with me for several years, including many cross-country trips in the saddlebags of my motorcycles! Nowadays, my wife knows it so well she does not want to give it up, so I keep replacing the battery every couple of years, and she keeps using it every day. The iBook will NOT quit.
    Based on the difference in our longevity experiences, you may be wise to check for radon.
    (3) You have done a lot of research and troubleshooting, but, if you have not already seen these articles, you might want to consider whether they have anything you might find useful:

      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage20.html
    (4) If none of the ideas suggested here help you, an external UVC (USB) webcam might be the easiest way for you to get video chat capability back. Note: In order for UVC devices to work without additional drivers, you will need to update to at least Mac OS X 10.4.9:
