How do I attach my iSight camera to my Apple Cinema Display?

I've just bought two iSight cameras, and found nothing in the accessory kit with them that would allow me to attach the camera to my Apple Cinema Display. This is because the back of the Cinema Display is beveled rather than flat, so the flat base of the accessories won't set firmly.
Does anybody have a solution for this?

  • Select Default iSight Cam with Dual LED Cinema Displays

    Hello
    I have two 27in LED Cinema Displays, both of which have iSight Cameras.  When I try to facetime, by default, the right monitor camera turns on, but I want to use the left camera.
    How do I select which camera on which monitor I want to use?  Both monitors are connected via thunderbolt.  I'm using OS X Mavericks.
    Thanks!

    You can try the old trick of first launching a camera app that you do NOT want to use - QuickTimeX > New Movie Recording perhaps - to have it engage the ONE display iSight camera.  After you can see that your camera is engaged with the unwanted app, you can hide that app if desired.  Then launch FaceTime and see if the other connected camera is accessible to FaceTime.
    If FaceTime cannot then recognize the second Display iSight, check your System Information utility to see if your Hardware > USB > USB Device Tree recognizes both Display iSights.  If the device tree recognizes only one Display iSight, your lowest cost workaround may be to connect a Mac-compatible webcam to one of your available USB ports so it is recognizable .  The external camera may then be selectable in your FaceTime menu without the two-application trick.

  • How do I use my isight camera live?

    I have a 27 inch Imac. How do I use my Isight camera as a web cam? I have flashplayer 10, but it still won't work. Help?

    Software always operates webcams, so you need to find software applications that does what you want.
    Use your Mac's  > App Store... menu command to search for "webcam"
    (without quotation marks).
    You can also search for other terms like "video chat",  "video conferencing",  "video surveillance", etc.
    If you need other functions, some of the older apps in the list in this link are also still available:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
    BTW, Flash 10 is out of date for OS X 10.7.2.
      • You can find the latest Flash version that works with you system using this page:
          http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then follow Adobe's instructions here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
    Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
    Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
      • Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can  be configured in your Lion Mac's  > System Preferences...    These settings may be blocking Flash on a system-wide basis.
      •  Individual Flash settings are still configured in the same way as older versions:

  • How do I activate my Isight camera to take an image of my gift card?

    How do I activate my Isight Camera to take an image of my Gift card so I can redeem it?
    The camera sees the card OK, but I don't know how to make it take an image.
    Please help.
    Greg.

    I don't think that you can do it with older MacBook's which have iSight cameras on them, the redeem by camera lists requirements as :
    Mac with a FaceTime camera (an Apple Display with FaceTime works too)
    I think that you will need to manually enter the card's code

  • How do i connect my Fujitsu Tablet + mac Pro to Apple Cinema Display 23'?

    Dear Mac users
    thanks in advance for your help.
    I currently own:
    • Fujitsu T 4220 (tablet) – Mobile Intel 965 Express – 60 Hertz – goes up to 1680*1050 (guess SXGA) – (it has the following other supported resolutions: 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600)
    • Mac Pro
    • Apple Cinema Display 23’
    What I would like to do is, please refer to the jpeg posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/34831802@N06/3234336204/, connect – at the same time – my tablet pc and my Mac Pro to the 23' Apple Cinema Display and switch (when I need) from tablet to MacPro using the same 23’ ACD. Top would be to be able to switch for one to the other while they’re both switched on. Usually on 2 pc’s with vga I’d use a switch A → B (in the jpeg it would be I → E) with a selector.
    Have been reading different posts such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8000641&#8000641 or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6530475&#6530475 or
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7417258&#7417258
    + others on the net and have (hopefully) understood that:
    a) from Vga to Dvi I need a converter such as Geffen’s or similar
    b) the problem with ACD 23’ is that it has only 3 resolutions: 1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200
    In the attached image I guessed a connection in order to connect – at the same time – both the machines to the 23’ ACD:
    1) my fujitsu tablet (i in the image) has to be connected, with a Vga cable (h), to the Vga → Dvi converter (g).
    2) from the Vga → Dvi converter (g) I need to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    3) easier is connecting the Mac Pro (e), since I only need a Dvi cable (d) to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    4) the Dvi switch (c) will then be connected to the 23’ ACD with a Dvi cable
    Now, my questions are:
    a) is the solution described above (Vga cable (h) to the Vga → Dvi converter (g)) a good solution or should I use, instead, a docking statione that comes with a Fujitsu Port Replicator (FPCPR65) which has a 1 x DVI-D port?
    b) Given the 3 resolution accepted by the 23’ ACD (1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200), I do not understand if I can use my tablet through a Vga to Dvi Converter and at which resolution (my tablet has the following other supported resolutions: 1680*1050, 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600).
    c) Is there a way, also using an external video card or converter, to bring my resolution from 1680*1050 to 1920*1200? (the 16:10 ratio is in fact the same = WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+ (1440x900), WSXGA+ (1680x1050), WUXGA (1920x1200)
    d) Talking about Vga → Dvi converter (g), am aware of the gefen product. Can you please list some others that might be good as well?
    e) And how about the DVI switch? Any will work? Any particular suggestion?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Emil

  • How can I video conference using a MacPro and a Apple Cinema Display ?

  • How can I run a 27" Apple Cinema Display and another monitor from my MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently purchased a brand new 15"  MacBook Pro to replace my old one. I was told when ordering it that I would be able to hook up two external monitors to it using the Matrox DualHead2Go hardware. So, I also bought a 27" Cinema Display (non-Thunderbolt since it wouldn't work with the DH2Go). However, when I contacted Matrox they said their products don't support screens as large as the 27" ACD.
    Bummer!
    So, my question is: does anyone know how I can hookup a 27" Apple Cinema Display at 2560x1440 and a Acer 22" monitor at 1685x1050 (or, anything less really) to my new MacBook Pro?
    I've looked around and haven't been able to find a good answer.
    Thanks for your help!

    Will something like this work? A USB to VGA adapter? Can I use this at the same time that I have a Cinema Display plugged into the Mini-DVI port and will they both work at the same time? Anyone know?

  • How  can I see my isight cameras remotely WITHOUT using an iphone or ipod?

    I simply want to be able to see any of the isight webcams that are on my various computers in my home from another computer when I am not home to keep an eye on things.
    I have tried off and on for years to get Quicktime Broadcaster to work, but i'm not sure if that's even the right way to go.
    I am an advanced user. I know what my home's IP address is and I know how to forward ports in my router. But even when I've used Quicktime Broadcaster on any of my computers running 10.5 or 10.6, I can't figure out what the address would be if I wanted to view my webcams remotely from another computer that's outside of my home.....for free.
    There's GOT to be an easy way to do this. Even if it's complicated I should be able to do it with my internet and application knowledge. Please HELP!!

    I don't see any question here. Perhaps training from your Apple retailer or a local computer training specialist would ease your frustration. Local computer clubs or user groups might be able to recommend someone to you. If not, you will need to do the research and study on your own if you continue to pursue the QuickTime approach.
    By nature of its considerable capabilities and breadth of functions, Apple's full-powered, professional QT software is more complicated than the other software solutions I suggested. Those other applications do not offer the same power and capability as Apple's professional QT apps, but neither do they require you invest so much time for research, study, and test runs.
    If you are determined to learn and use the QT approach, start your study with the FAQs, tutorials, and other info on the applications are available from these links:
      http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/
      http://www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver/
      http://developer.apple.com/opensource/server/streaming/index.html
    Additional (and more advanced) info is available from the Apple Developer Connection pages:
      http://tinyurl.com/2cyvwsm for Broadcaster
      http://tinyurl.com/27tl8k9   for Streaming Server
      http://dss.macosforge.org/ (for Darwin Streaming Server)
    Implementing streaming video using these QT products may be easier if you use the versions integrated into Mac OS X Server. See http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/ for information that may help you decide whether to buy OS X Server.
    If you have no plans for streaming video beyond that you have described, you might want to reconsider using the professional QT apps. You will likely find the surveillance or webcam apps far simpler to configure and use.

  • How can I attach a hard drive to an Apple IIe?

    And how can I load applications on it? Most Apple IIe programs are DOS 3.3 and you cannot format a hard drive in DOS 3.3. Do I format the hard drive in ProDos?
    How do I set up a hard drive in ProDos format? Do I just create a menu manually?

    First, you need a controller and drive. SCSI controllers are getting kind of collectible, so expect to pay upwards of US$100 for one on eBay. With some diligence, you might get lucky and find one for free in someone's attic-bound Apple.
    A contemporary vendor sells a controller card that connects a CompactFlash card to an Apple called the CFFA:
    http://dreher.net/CFforAppleII/
    While this costs as much as one of the collectible SCSI cards, it has the advantage of being physically new and free of the problems of old mechanical hard drives just waiting for their turn to fail.
    And how can I load applications on it? Most Apple
    IIe programs are DOS 3.3 and you cannot format a hard
    drive in DOS 3.3.
    That can be kind of tricky. There are lots of options (communications programs, transfer programs, etc). It all kind of depends on what you want to copy over. If you want to just launch games, DOS launchers like this would help:
    http://www.apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/System/DOS33LaunchInfo.txt
    Do I format the hard drive in ProDos?
    Yes, you will be formatting it with ProDOS. Your SCSI card will have associated software for partitioning the physical drive. If it doesn't come with the card you find, it is generally find-able on the internet. The CFFA card imposes fixed partition sizes on the CompactFlash card, so there's nothing to be done there.
    How do I set up a hard drive in ProDos format? Do I
    just create a menu manually?
    Once the drive is partitioned, you format it with the normal ProDOS menu system.

  • How can I attach a web cam to my iPad

    My wife has the first iPad and she is jealous of my iPad2 which has a built in web cam. Is there a way that I can hook up a web cam to her iPad?

    That was announced back in the summer of 2010 but apparently never shipped. PhotoFast, the company that was purported to release it, makes no mention of the product on their web site. So I think we can consider this vaporware.
    There are no web cams for the iPad actually available that I know of.

    I don't know about Google+ but in Skype's Preferences, there's an Audio/Video tab and within that window there's a popup menu for the camera.  Does that allow you to select the ACD?
