How do I activate web cam for Skype ?

I have just received this as a gift but cannot operate web cam when trying to answer Skype calls, is this possible ? Thanks in advance !

Whilst I appreciate your responding - I do not think this helps with what I was enquiring (at least not without further explanations anyways).
I am aware of, and do use, the function - System Preferences > Keyboard > Text - for various replacements like (tm), (c), etc .... and also for fractions like 1/2, 1/4, 1/3.
However, my question was in relation to SUPERSCRIPTS for dates / numbers - namely, superscripting numerical suffixes for things like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
So - please help - HOW do I set this up ? If indeed it is possible without System Preferences > Keyboard > Text ???

    Hi,
    How could I hide my cam for some applications?
    Thanks in advance!

    There's a support file in the System/Library/QuickTime folder that you can move elsewhere temporarily: QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component. Don't delete it, just move it. Any apps you open from that point will not have access to the camera. Move the file back to re-activate it (you may need to reboot).
    There is also an AppleScript to do the same thing, but I can't guarantee it works for 10.8.

    (1) Camera is already activated.
    To use it, launch an app that operates the camera and tap the virtual shutter button.
    (2) For more specific help, see the iPad User Guide for iOS 7.1 Software. 
          (If your internet connection is slow, it may take a minute for this link to open.)
    Some apps that come with your iOS 7.1 and their User Guide references are:
    Camera: Chapter 12, starting on page 68
    Photo Booth: Chapter 19, starting on page 86
    If you live in a country that does not block it, FaceTime: Chapter 9, starting on p. 58.
    View photos you have already made in Camera Roll: Chapter 11, starting on page 63.
    (3) If you want to explore other camera possibilities, you can search the iTunes Apps Store for other apps that can use your camera.

  • How to switch off web cam?

    Hello
    Does anybody know how to switch off web cam? It interferes me when I touch it with my mouse accidentally.
    Thanks

    Hi roxol,
    > It interferes me when I touch it with my mouse accidentally
    Im a little bit confused about this How you can touch it with the mouse?
    Furthermore your posting is not very detailed. I miss some important informations about your notebook and OS.
    At the moment I can only say that you should reinstall the webcam driver. The newest version you can find on the Toshiba website.

    Hi MadissonStudios.
    Thanks for the time you took to try and help me out.
    I can't access the link (even correcting the double '//' or the space in the link.
    I've followed your sugesttion and tested it but didn't work. The hover state is always for the top layer (z order) and the hover state of the image fills over the text. If I put the text over, it covers the image. Grouping didn't make a difference.
    Maybe I'm getting your indications wrong, but without access to the file, I don't see another way I could have done it any different.
    Thanks once more.

  • Web cam for mac

    My grand kids have just got an e mac and have set up msn messager to talk to their friends. I thought about buying them isight web cam for them for Xmas but the are expensive. Maybe this is not a good site to ask this question but anyone know of a good alternative which is more affordable?

    The Mac version of MSN Messenger does not support video. Yahoo messenger's software supports video from Macs, and iChat supports video chatting with AIM.

  • Web Cam for Apple Macbook.

    Has anybody purchased the latest web cam for Apple.   Review please.

    I get great results with a 12-month old Logitech Pro 5000 USB camera. Prior to the purchase of this C2D Mac mini, I used it with a 1 GHz eMac running Leopard & an 800 MHz iBook running Tiger. Since the arrival of OS 10.4.3, support for USB webcams has been built in.
    I was surprised that the eMac worked as it is an older one without USB 2.0.
    Prior to the purchase of the Logitech camera I also achieved excellent results using a Mini DV camcorder which connects via Firewire.

  • Alternate web cam for Mac

    Hi guys, this may be only for Aussies and NZ's.
    I have a imac G5 and was wanting to get a web camera for it. The isight is way too expensive for what it is, and the logitech 400 camera is also in the $140 mark. As I don't really care about the rez and so forth, I don't really want to pay so much money. There used to be a macally one that typically sold for around $50, but I can not seem to get it in Australia any longer.
    Anyone know about any other possible web cams for mac that would be in the no-so-expensive range, and could be in Australia?
    Thanks
    Connor

    Hi Connor --
    Is this what you had in mind: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001JSSLI/104-4462944-9175107?v=glance&n=17228 2
    If you do decide to get it, or any other USB webcam, then don't forget to also get Ecamm's iChatUSBcam software.
    FWIW, I love the iSight -- I realize it's expensive, but if you use it a lot you learn very quickly to appreciate the superior picture, sound and style.
    Either way, enjoy your cam...

  • How do we activate the FaceTime Camera for Skype on a Macbook Air with Mavericks

    We have bought a new Macbook Air and when using Skype the camera is inoperative. Audio is fine. How to activate the camera?

    Thanks, Gail.
    I have the problem of posts not displaying also from time to time.  I've had the issue a bit today.  It seems to me that the issue only occurs with the Apple Support Communities - to the best of my knowledge, I can go to other websites that update regularly (e.g., CNN) and catch their late updates.
    Anyway, I believe you have lots of company with posts not displaying promptly out here.

  • How to use a web site for a camera

    Is it possible to use a web site for a web cam so someone could watch me while we talk. What is the best software to sue for a web cam? I have the Ceative Web Cam NX.
    Thanks

    I would turn on the "show java console" and the "log output" options in the java console. You should then be able to see the reason the application will not start.
