Getting player to recognize Mac Book Pro built-in iSight as webcam

Flash Player 10 in Firefox 3 will not recognize the MBP's
built-in iSight camera as a web cam. I'm trying to view the virtual
hologram on this page:
http://ge.ecomagination.com/smartgrid/#/augmented_reality
It's so cool! I'd hate to think that my fellow Mac Book Pro,
Mac Pro, and iMac users can't check this out for themselves.
Any ideas?

Thanks punkin, but I tried that -- no go. I spent at least an
hour messing with it, so of course I started with the instructions
(followed by a call to my Mac IT buddy, then the Apple forums, but
it seemed to me to be a Flash issue, as the camera works
otherwise). It's as if the built-in is not recognized as a web
cam.

  • I have an old mac book pro built in 2006. I just use it in the kitchen to go on the internet--which it does fairly well. It's running OS 10.6.8. Would it be risky to upgrade to the OS 10.7.4 Lion. Or should I leave well enough alone?

    I have an old mac book pro built in 2006. I just use it in the kitchen to go on the internet--which it does fairly well. It's running OS 10.6.8. Would it be risky to upgrade to the OS 10.7.4 Lion. Or should I leave well enough alone? I was hoping that the upgrade would allow me to use an old version of Kindle for Mac. I need to get the machine into 2012 functionality. If I can't do it, no worries.

    The very early 2006 MBPs are limited to Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  If your MBP is a model Identifier 2.1 or 2.2, then you can install Lion (10.7.5).  Note that the transition to Lion might mean that some applications will not be compatible so updates or substitutions would be needed.
    I have a 2006 MBP, Model Identifier 1.2, and it is running Snow Leopard very efficiently.  It is just a bit slower than newer ones, especially in the graphics area.  Otherwise is is a very good machine.
    Ciao.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

  • How do i get imessage on my mac book pro

    how do i get imessage on my mac book pro

    Open Messages. It will prompt you to enter your Apple ID. That's for iMessage. Any messages send via a iPhone's or Mac's Messages app (not the Mail app) to that Apple ID will be iMessages. If you have an iPhone you can also add that Apple ID to your phone so any iMessages send via your phone number will also be in your MacBook Pro.

  • Did anyone else get a brand new mac book pro that came with items already in the favorites tab?

    just bought a brand new mac book pro went online and noticed that there were already items saved to favorites, strange things about pumpkin cheesecake.

    You could have purchased a refurbished computer.
    Take it back and voice your concern and where ever you purchased it from will probably swap it out for you

  • How to get contacts in my Mac Book Pro (and not only on iCloud)

    Hello. God Icould for contacts, works well between Mac Book pro (MBP) and Ipad .. but on the MBP I have only the "iCould" contacts and not the "on My Mac" contacts.
    So when I connect my blackberry to grab Mac contacts, none are transfered as the balckberry seems to locate only the contacts on the Mac Book (not the ones on iCloud).
    Thanks a LOT if you have any tip

    Go to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display.
    Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
    Make sure your On My Mac account is your default account (preferences > general).
    Select All On My Mac contacts from users and groups.
    Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
    You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
    Select All contacts in users and groups
    Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
    Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.

  • How much store credit would I get for my 2006 mac book pro?

    I have a 2006 Macbook pro with 120GB Hard drive space and 2gb ram.  Would a Apple Store take give credit for it towards a new mac book?  Or is it even worth it?

    Hi M,
    Apple contracts with PowerOn Computing:

    Unless you're willing to take substantially less than it's worth, no, it is not worth it as you'd get far more money for your Mac by selling it yourself.

  • Help- Mac Book Pro built in speakers wont work.

    Hi. I just turned on my Macbook Pro today and found something funny. My internal speakers will not work and when i try to use the volume keys the display comes up for volume but it has the do not enter icon. i plugged my headphones in to see if it worked and it did. i also noticed that there is a red light coming from my headphone jack when the headphones are not in it. Does anyone know how to get my speakers working again?? I looked at the help files and it says to make sure that internal speakers is checked in the : system preferences->sound->output. but all there is to check is: digital out.
    Please help. Thank you very much

    Check to make sure that digital out is NOT selected - your headphone port is also a optical digital audio port - hence the red light.
    When you plug in headphones, your computer knows that there are headphones attached and routes the audio accordingly, allowing you to use the built in volume controls. When the audio out port is set to Digital Out, your MBP thinks that there is some other digital device plugged in (with its own volume controls) and so disables the MBP's internal volume controls and internal speakers.
    If you have checked that Digital Out is not selected, you may want to try a permissions repair, and possibly a PRAM reset (Hold  + Alt + P + R when you restart your MBP - before the grey screen).
    Someone with more experience of optical ports may have another solution - obviously there isn't anything stuck in the port, so it must be a software issue.

    I started having all kinds of freezing/crashing issues with both safari and ff on my macbook pro, os x 10.6.8. Then I even started having trouble starting up and shutting down. I wasn't getting any error messages and after trouble-shooting everything I could think of in my hardware and finally realized it started happening after I downloaded this latest update. I tried every suggested fix I could find and finally uninstalled it, reinstalled 10.3, and ran a disk repair. That was a couple days ago and seems to have worked, but what a pain.
