How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.

I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.

  • How do i get the driver to use an HP laserjet 5mp with my Mac that runs Lion?

    how do i get the driver to use an HP laserjet 5mp with my Mac that runs Lion?  I'm told by HP to get it through Apple updates but it doesn't show up. 

    The term "server", while technically correct, is misleading.  A print server takes the low-level protocol spoken by a printer and serves it over a higher-level protocol.  For example, parallel printer port (a.k.a. Centronics or IEEE 1284) and serve it over USB.  Or parallel or USB and serve it over Ethernet with a variety of printing protocols (lpr/lpd protocol, JetDirect protocol, port 9100 protocol, the names are confusing).
    In reality, a print server looks nothing like what we usually associate with "server" (which is typically a biggish computer).  Instead they usually look like adapter plugs or even adapter cables, or like a little network hub (just with printer connectors instead of network connectors).
    Here are a few examples (I'll use Amazon as a guide book, without implying that I endorse them).  Let's start with USB to parallel; it seems they tend to look like adapter cables.  Here is one that takes a USB plug (male) and creates a female port that you can plug your regular old printer cable in: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-To-Go-16899-IEEE-1284/dp/B000UX21PY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1333640548&sr=8-1
    And here is one that goes from a USB plug directly into the printer: http://www.amazon.com/Parallel-Printer-Adapter-Connect-parallel/dp/B000BV8604/re f=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1333640548&sr=8-4 replacing the old printer cable.
    Then there are (really cheap) Ethernet to printer adapters.  Here is one that you put into the printer (warning, the plastic cover will probably not fit afterwards): http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AC-TL-PS110P-Single-Parall/dp/B003CFATR4/ref=sr_1_ 11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1333640755&sr=1-11 By the way, I really don't like this type, I always find them unreliable.  But they are cheap.
    The ones I like look more like a network hub. Here is the NetGear PS110: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-PS110-parallel-Ethernet-100Base-TX/dp/B0002AF9JU/r ef=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1333640860&sr=8-2
    And the HP external JetDirect: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/18972-18972-236253-34214-64302-273 16.html?dnr=1&jumpid=reg_r1002_usenc-001&lang=en&cc=us (I think this is the best one of the lot).  Both of those you put next to the printer, use your existing parallel printer cable, and connect them to the network.  Don't get scared by the astronomical price of the HP; it's commonly available used.
    There are even some wireless models around.  In theory, you might be able to use a parallel-to-USB adapter cable and then plug the USB cable into your trusty Apple Airport (as a good Apple fanboy or fangirl you've bought an Airport, right?), but I don't know whether that will work.  With the HP JetDirect box I'm quite certain that it will work (but it's old-fashioned, doesn't come in white, doesn't do wireless, and is not the slightest bit hip or cool).

  • How do I get the camera to work without my iPhone 4S on

  • How do i get the camera to be beside the keyboard in messages

    how do i get the camera to be beside the keyboard in messages, when you look at all the demonstrations online it shows the camera icon being there so you can add a photo to the message, but on my iphone 4 i don't have that icon.

    That means  you don't have MMS messaging enabled by your carrier. Either it isn't included in your account, it isn't provided by your carrier, or you're using an unofficial iPhone carrier that isn't fully compatible.

  • How do i get the camera roll to view new photos first then the old photos?

    Does anyone know how I can get the camera roll to have the new photos on top and the older photos on the bottom?  I hat having to scroll down to see the new photos.

    On iPhone 5 it seems the default behavior is to open to the newest photos if your album is closed, or to open to newest photos if the album is open, followed by opening to your last viewing position if that position was not the newest photos.
    From the camera, after a photo is taken and the "Album" icon is tapped (left of the camera button in portrait orientation) to view the newly taken photo (or to simply review your pictures) the newest pictures appear from bottom to top. I am referencing IOS 6.0.1 on an iPhone 5. I hope this helps.

    I have an iPad 4. How do I get the camera flash to work?

    Uh, a flash is a piece of hardware.  Software cannot make up for a lack of physical hardware. 
    Maybe go to Home Depot and get a couple shop lights?

  • How do you get the camera on the iPhone4 to zoom?

    How do you get the camera on the iPhone4 to zoom?

    Check to see that it isn't set to video recording (which doesn't zoom).  Otherwise you may need to restore your phone to fix this if it's a software problem (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  Restoring replaces the iOS with a fresh copy of the latest iOS.

    Hi Michael-
    I do not have any problem with using shift registers in timed loops.  What version of LabVIEW are you using?  Can you please elaborate on why neither shift registers or local variables meet your needs?  I have attached a VI that saves a previous iteration and then computes and displays the difference.  Let me know if you have problems running it.
    Thanks-

  • HT1515 How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    Does anyone at Apple have help for this sort of question - I too have an old printer (HP LaserJet 5MP) that I would like to keep using on my Mac. (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
    I got it working by getting a USB cord that connects to it - but every once in a while it just stops working for weeks. The mac 'sees' it and it sends the data because the printer lights start blinking but then it just doesn't do anything. Is there no one who can tell me (and raterada) how to get some new life into these old printers. I would rather not add this (and a new toner cart) to the landfill just yet. . .

  • My  Samsung Sync Master 225UW's camera (webcam) won't work with my Mac mini

    Hi,
    I need help making my monitor's webcam work with my Mac mini. I have Mac OS X 10.5. When the computer launches the screen turns on, everything's perfect but the webcam will not turn on when I launch Photo Booth or iChat....what should I do?

    That camera doesn't work with my mac either (I'm using it right now with a g4 powerbook, but will try again with my new power mac coming in... though I doubt it will make a difference)
    The 225UW is specially made for Windows Vista, and I wonder if it needs a mac driver for the camera or something. We may be S.O.L. I knew that was a possibility when I ordered this monitor. Oh well... pay yer money... take yer chances.

  • HT1926 I have tried to delete the latest itunes and get back to 10.7. Now I have nothing in my library. How do I get the freshly installed itunes 10.7 to sync with the itunes STORE, and get me computers library back?

    I just tried to delete the new itunes (Hate it & could figure out how to sync iphone any more), and I reverted back to itunes 10.7 64-bit. When I tried to use itunes, it couldnt read the library because it had been created by the newer version (why it didn't get deleted when I removed itunes I do not know), so I deleted a few itune library files that I found still on my computer. Now I have the 10.7, but nothing in it... no library items. How do it get the itunes to sync with the itunes store

    This is what you should have done...
    To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
