  • How to use the built in camera in macbook on windows via boot camp?

    Did you download the Windows Software when you ran Bootcamp Assistant? Did you install the downloaded Windows Support Software when you first started Windows?

  • How do I use the built-in camera or webcam?

    I know this may sound very elementary but there was no documentation with my Mac when I bought it new (except a thin flimsy pamphlet with very baic stuff in it) and the help menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for web cam, webcam or isight.
    Where do I go to learn about how to use the built-in camera/web cam as a camera and also as a web cam?
    Thank you

    There should have been a seventy page booklet in the box with your new iMac.  If yours is the latest version, clicking here will download it if you cannot find the physical copy.  If yours is an older iMac model, you can search for the correct manual from the iNtel iMac Support Page > "Manuals" link.
    After that, Mac 101 is a great web-based information source.  If you don't need general help, take a look here for specifics about each application of interest.

    If your posted info is correct that you are running Mac OS X (10.7.3), you should be able to get started by using your Mac's Finder > Help menu command.  Searching for "camera" (without quotation marks) on my 10.7.3 Mac returns Mac's Help article entitled "Use your Mac’s built-in camera."  This is the web version of the same help.
    Other apps, like QuickTime Player (the Lion QT 10.x version), and iMovie (part of iLife that came with your Mac) can also use your iMac's camera. 
    iMovie Help or this web page version of the same help will explain how to "Record video directly into iMovie".
    Use QTX Player's File > New Movie Recording menu command to record video with it.  You can configure size and quality of the recorded material by using QTX's preferences as shown in this image:

    Different apps do not all work the same.  For function-specific help, search Help in separate camera applications; i.e., after you launch Photo Booth, iChat, QTX, iChat, etc., use the individual app's Help menu command to search for more info on the camera or what you want to do.
    This article offers great basic tips about how to position, light, and use built-in cameras.  Although its subject shows it was written for iMacs, it is equally applicable to other reader's inbuilt Apple cameras, too.
    For more specialized functions than those offered by the camera software already included with your Mac, you can search the Mac App Store for other apps that can use your camera.
    For webcam help with iChat, use Apple's iChat Support page if you need more help that that provided in the dialog boxes and iChat > Help on your Mac.
    To use your camera with FaceTime, search your Mac's FaceTime > Help or these web versions of the same Help topics that should be available on your Mac.
    Skype or other third party webcam apps will offer their own Help menus of varying quality.  In additon to these app Help services, some apps offer comprehensive Support services via their web page.  If you decide to add Skype to your Mac, you can click here to review the excellent Skype Support pages.
    If you need to start a new topic for specific questions after you get started, give as much detail about what you want to do and what you may have already tried unsuccessfully.  We will offer specific suggestions based on the details you provide.
    Enjoy your new Mac!

    Yes I do see it in device manager labeled DVBT hybrid TV device. I think thats the tuner card right?
    The program I am running to configure it is Windows Media Center, I am using a windows 7 OS..I connected the portable antenna and tried also a tv antenna but when it scans for signals it tells me it cant see any signal or channel at all.I am in a place where TV's connect to a channel even though your just using an aluminum tube..so signal is really good so I cant seem to figure out why it cant detect any..T_T.Thanks for your response sir..greatly appreciated.

  • Is There A Way To Use The Built In Camera As A Webcam ?

    I Use My Laptop Alot For MSN. And Was Wondering If There Was Anyway To Use The Built In Camera As A Webcam. Do You Have To Have A Certain Softwear ? Or A Certain Programme ? Or Should I Just By A Seperate Webcam And Use That ? HELP

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, flobadob_93
    Until you can get Help making Microsoft Messenger 7 work for you, you can use either of the following:
      aMSN    Mercury
    Either can provide text and and use your MacBook's iSight to make webcam video (no audio at this time) connections with your "MSN" contacts. Because either provides the same functions, use whichever you find easier or more reliable.

  • Looking to scan documents using the built in camera on my laptop

    Does anyone know of a 3rd party document scanner that supports windows 8.1 and also can scan using the built in camera on a laptop? Everything I found is for tablets and phones. I have a 2 in 1 that I would like to use instead of purchasing another scanner.

    Hi,
    Your son is right in that Blue Tooth, the Internal Camera the Infra red sensor are all connected as USB devices internally.
    It could be that there is an Issue with Numbering devices (most common) and there is a resulting conflict.
    If a normal restart or even  Shut Down and reboot are not solving this then do the PRAM reset with the wired keyboard
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
    As the wired keyboard and mouse would be "unpowered" items it does not seem like  "juice" issue.
    The USB Controller for the Camera and the Blue Tooth connection are linked to the same controller/Bus on my iMac.
    Your computer should be able to cope with the Blue Tooth Keyboard and Mouse.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

    I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones.  Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email.  Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

    If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

  • HT1343 how to use the options with F10, F11, F11 for turning the sound up or down or mute?

    Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm using a Mac. Can you show me how to use the options with F10, F11, F12 for turning the sound up, or down or mute? Thank you very much

    Normally simply pressing them should do what you want, F10 to mute; F11 to decrease volume; F12 to increase volume. However, it's possible that you have a box ticked in Keyboard preferences which modifies the behaviour of the keys, requiring you to also hold down the Fn key (bottom left key on the keyboard) to enable the function.
    Check System Preferences>Keyboard to makes sure the box indicated in the image isn't ticked.

  • HT4352 I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I'm using the correct APPLE ID and password for Home Sharing on my computer but my AppleTv is not accepting it?  What's up with that???

    I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
    I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
    Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
    Thanks for any advice.  Cheers.

  • Is there a way to use the built-in Datalogging and programmatically log the front panel while the vi is running?

    I would like to use the built-in Data Logging feature. There is the "Log at Completion" option, but is there a way to programmatically make a new log record while running? I looked around in VI server and couldn't find any methods that would do that. Currently, I am grabbing all of the front panel control references using VI Server and if there are any changes, the changed values are written to a log file along with a date/time stamp. I'm mostly dealing with buttons, which simply change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, so it's not too hard to visualize what was pressed. It works okay for reconstructing what happened, but it would be much nicer to use the built-in fe
    ature because you can "replay" directly onto the front panel and actually see what the changes were. However, without being able to programmatically make a new log, it won't work for me.

    Jake,
    There are several options here.
    I would suggest using your own code for datalogging. The datalogging you are referring to is primarily for debug, and one shot datalogs of front panel indicators (and controls?), not including graphs, etc.
    If you go to the file functions, you will see a menu for datalogging. These functions will allow you to save your data, as you need it, simply, and in a compact format.
    I recommend opening the datalog file, doing all your file operations, and closing the file before the program is complete. There are several examples of this in the examples database.
    Good luck

  • HT1688 I am trying to find answers about how to use the earphones that came with my new iPhone 4s. Does this work similarly as a Bluetooth or do I need to still buy one. The printing in the manual is SOOO small, it is too hard to read!

    Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
    Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.

    They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.
