How do I get a webcam to connect to my Mini for Skype?

I have connected a Logitech USB 2.0 webcam to try and use Skype but Skype does not see it. I have tried to find a way in SL system preferences to activate the usb camera... but to no avail...
Is there a way to do this? What am I missing.

Which Logitech Camera have you got? I use one with my Mini and have no problems with Skype.
The first thing to do is to check that your Mac is seeing the camera correctly. Go to your System Preferences and select Sound and then Input. What input devices do you see? On mine I have the default: Line in>Built-in Input and an extra one: Logitech Camera> USB
Good luck
Dave

  • What brands of USB 2.0 webcams will work on a mini for Skype & Snow Leop?

    What brands of USB 2.0 webcams will work on a mini for Skype & Snow Leop?
    Does Skype work in through SL's iChat program ( IE: does iChat need to be running for Skype to succesfully use video picture & sound?) using iChat?

    Hi hassiman,
    I don't have a complete list of webcams, but I recently purchased "IceCam2 USB 2.0 Video web Camera with Microphone (ICECAM2)" at MacMall.com, and it works great in iChat.
    I don't use Skype, but I believe that it is independent of iChat. In other words, you can run Skype without running iChat. In fact, only one can grab the camera at a time.

    Have you confirmed that the app supports AirPlay? If it doesn't, then you'll have to connect via screen mirroring. See:

  • How do I get my iPad2 to connect to TV using AirPlay?

    How do I get my iPad2 to connect to TV using AirPlay?

    Thanks for your helpful response. I do have an Apple TV device that is hooked up to my TV & router and is working OK. I can link to iTunes on my main computer and stream photos etc OK. The Apple TV device also links to internet OK.
    What I can't get to Apple TV device to do is link to my IPad2. I followed the instructions on using & setting up  Airplay, and found the Airplay symbol OK,. When I tap it it shows my iPad & Apple TV. When I tap on the TV symbol it doesn't show the dialogue box indicated. I can't seem to get the iPad to stream from Photos, and the iPad doesn't show up on the TV under Computers.
    Clearly I am doing something wrong, but what?
    Any ideas?

  • How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?

    How do you get iPhone 5 to connect to iMac through bluetooth?
    I know the basic steps, but all I get is pairing unsuccessful. I'm using an older bluetooth, would that make a difference? I got connected once with a Motorola bluetooth, but can't reconnect. TIA!

    Try the Bluetooth Troubleshooting steps here:

    Note that you need to have Personal Hotspot set up with your carrier and on your iPhone before you can connect the computer.

    Hi there
    Do you happen to use a USB modem or something like that? This could be the cause.
    You could try creating a new network location to see if that fixes it (if not you can just reverse it)
    1. Go to  Menu -> System Preferences
    2. Then go to Network on the 3rd row
    3. Make sure the padlock is unlocked (bottom left) with your admin password
    4. Choose 'Automatic' next to 'Location' at the top.
    5. Choose 'Edit Locations'
    6. Then click the + button, and create a new one called home/test/somethingorother
    7. Click Done -> Save and wait a few seconds
    8. You may have to reconnect to your Wi Fi network etc.
    If you have a USB modem, the above steps will most likely remove its config from the Network preferences. As I said, its reversable (just change location back to automatic)
    Have fun

    How do I get my iphone to connect with my PC via WiFi?

    I Believe you are trying to use personal hotspot so you can use your 3G/LTE on your pc.
    If that's the question, you'll need to turn on "Personal Hotspot" in settings (it's right below bluetooth), then go to your Mac/PC and connect to your iphone as you would with a normal wi-fi connection. You can change the random default password in the same menu where you have turned on "Personal Hotspot"
