When I make a call on skype the other party cannot see me but I can see them. Under Preferences on Skype there is no recognised camer either. How do I get my webcam to communicate with Skype?

See this thread:

FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • How do I get an epson scanner 1680 to work with photoshop cs4 on an iMac running 10.7.5?

    How do I get an epson scanner 1680 to work with photoshop cs4 on an iMac running 10.7.5?

    I've tried updating with the USB cord, updating wirelessly, downloading the drivers manually, installing them manually and every concieveable combination of the above. This is getting extremely frustrating and i'm ready to toss this macbook into a wall.
    TLDR;
    This is my first experience with a macbook and so far i'm finding the whole experience extremely difficult and disapointing. I felt that because of the hype, that macs were top of the line but i'm seriously considering ditching the mac and heading back to pc if this issue can't be resolved.

    I would contact Apple under your warranty.  I doubt you received a new iPod since Apple's policy is to give you a refurbished iPod.

  • My FaceTime Camera of my MacBook Air doesn't work in Skype.

    My FaceTime Camera of my MacBook Air doesn't work in Skype. I try to make a videocall but my camera doesn't work.

    Be sure to check PHOTOBOOTH and FACETIME in more than one user account.  However, don't use the "Guest" account for testing.  If your Mac only has one account, create a new user account for testing.
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
       often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
       the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of iSight.  For hardware help, contact an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    The same Troubleshooting help for built-in iSight works for FaceTime (and FaceTime HD) cameras, too.
    If your camera works with Apple apps in every user account you test, search or post for help in Skype's dedicated forum.  The Skype users who post there may have already know the solution for your particular problem.

  • Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs using Aperture or Lightroom and perhaps Photoshop?

    Is the MacBook Air recommended for working with RAW photographs in Aperture and Photoshop, or do I need a more powerful MacBook ?   The relative lack of weight of the AIr is what attracts me to it.

    For doing Photography with RAW files in either Aperture or Photoshop, the new MacBook Air is fine, but for Photoshop CS6 some of the filters and plugins really need a better graphics card and plenty of RAM.
    You'll also want an external disk if you are going to be doing lots of shooting.
    Summary:
    Yes, you can use an air but you'll want external storage and at least 8GB of ram.
    Or go MacBook Pro with 16GB ram with the 650M card.

  • Unable to get my webcam to work with Skype

    Bought a Logitech webcam chat and downloaded the driver from macam - it works fine (at least I can see myself in my monitor!), but cannot get it to work with Skype. In the Skype prefs there is no camera listed, and it shows a black screen.
    I have been in contact with Skype techs, and have had several goes at fixing the problem. The latest, and what prompted the request for help regarding library folders, was the suggestion to delete all Skype files and download the latest version and do a clean install. This was when I found out all the duplication of files in the various folders. I am the only user of this computer - do I really need this folder, the one that looks like a house titled with my name? BTW, desktop folder in my hard drive is empty - the desktop folder in the house has the desktop files!
    I'm confused
    Thanks for any advise

    Hi again, Dodger. YES, you certainly do need your Home folder! NEVER delete that! It contains everything that your computer knows about your user account. Without it, you would have no access to the computer or any of your music, pictures, movies, documents, passwords, etc.,
    You really need to stop looking for parts of OS X to do away with. OS X isn't like OS 9: you can't expect to understand what each of its hundreds of thousands of parts is for. If your hard drive is too small and you're trying to make more space on it, get a bigger drive instead.
    Sorry I can't help you with the main question — I know nothing about Skype or webcams.

  • How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

    Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?  This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

    Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers.  HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed.  These drivers fill the gap.
    You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package.  They are all on the HPIJS web page.  Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer.  You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer.  After that it works great.  And it also works on Lion.

  • Webcams that work with Skype 6.3

    Can anywone tell me of a webcam that DOES work with Skype 6.3?
    I would prefer a Logitec - I have the Logitec Quikcam Pro HD which it seems does NOT work with 6.3.
    Thanks in anticipation

    I definitely believe you, all mine are recognized and function.  Due to "ground up" modifications to video, some compatibility was lost on versions 6.2 and above.  If you want your camera to operate, you can either try release 6.5 that came out today or downgrade to 6.1.  One of those should work.

  • How do I get my MacBook Air w OS X Yosemite to read 2.5" floppy disks from my 512?

    Legacy people help!!!! I have a Mac Book Air with OS X Yosemite and an external floppy disc drive but I can't get the MacBook to read any of my old disks--not even the program disks! How do I get it to read these disks (They were originated on a Mac 512 MANY years ago.) Trying to get my new computer to read my old disks very important data in Word 3.0 (Have original program disk)

    You mean 3.5" floppy disks.
    The problem is that the floppy drive in a Macintosh 512K was for 400K disks (a special Macintosh format).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP187
    A Macintosh 512Ke could use 800K.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/sp188
    An external USB floppy drive is not capable of handling 400K, nor 800K. There are also software limitations with modern computers.
    Do you still have the Macintosh 512K? Do you have access to another Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive (if yes, please post back with the model and operating system)?
