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

I can't use the camera on windows but its working on mac os.

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!

  • 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.

  • How to make pictures by the built-in camera of MacBook  Pro?

    I don't succeed in making pictures with the built-in camera of  MacBook Pro.
    Neither the program i-Photo can be downloaded.
    Both items worked perfect when I bought the laptop  a couple of years ago.
    What went wrong?

    You can take pictures with "PhotoBooth".
    You can use all kind of picture effects as well.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to use the cinema display while your Macbook is closed

    How do I use the cinema display while my Macbook is closed? Whenever I close the laptop the display shuts off as well. I really don't need them both to be on. That defeats the purpose of the external display. when I am home I want to use the laptop like it is the desktop computer.

    I am using a MB Pro and a 23" cinema display. Have a wired USB keyboard and a USB wireless mouse connected through the keyboard. When the MBP is closed and when I restart it, the wireless mouse is frozen and the keyboard does not respond. I have to reopen the MBP, use the trackpad mouse, restart again and hope it will work closed. There doesn't seem to be a consistent way to make it work.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • How should i allocate the right RAM and disk space to windows through boot camp or parallels ?

    i am trying to understand how you need to set things up when trying to run windows from a mac ( using bootcamp / parallels ). i want to understand the implications around RAM.
    i have a mac with 1terra SSD and 16 GB of RAM, and if i want to install windows i need to partition and allocate memory and disk space for windows.
    now i would be running on windows :
    cad 2015
    revit / rhino
    photoshop and some other graphic softwares
    so my questions are:
    how do i decide how much space should be allocated to windows and once i decide that, can i change it later ?
    how do i decide what RAM should be allocated to windows. and can i also change that in the future ?
    now lets say i allocated 8 GB of RAM for winddows using bootcamp, does that mean that every time i log into my mac through OS, it will only be using 8GB of the total RAM ?
    here's my last question : i have my parallels software yet to be installed, just as the windows 8 software. now should i use bootcamp to install windows ? could i install windows using parallels ? if yes which is better to use ?

    1. Windows needs 60GB for good performance, add the needs of the apps you intend to use and I would say no less than 100GB. (it can be changed later but it is not an easy task unless you pay for Camp Tune)
    2. You do not allocate Ram to Windows in Boot Camp. Windows will use all of it (64bit Windows) or 4GB (32bit Windows)
    3. See 2
    4. Use Boot Camp, Parallels will not allow Windows to run at full speed.
    General Notes:
    1. Make a complete backup of your Mac before you start! (do not skip this)
    2. Read the Boot Camp directions, then read them again.

  • I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Please can you help!
    I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.  
    How are they connected?   In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub.  After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it.  My fix was to
    plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.)  Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
    hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going.  Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized. 
    If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK.  I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

  • Is there a way to use the built in camera with msn

    I don't have any friends with a mac so hard to use Ichat. But with my pc i could use webcam and mic but with a mac they don't work at all is there a way to work. I have a Yahoo account and it works there the cam at least not mic. Or do all my friends have to buy a Mac??? I usually use Msn and there isn't even an icon for the mic or cam.

  • Use external monitor w/ Macbook running Windows in Boot Camp?

    Within the Mac OS, I close the lid to my Macbook and then hit the spacebar to then use an external 20" monitor. When running Windows within Bootcamp, I shut the lid of the Macbook, but cannot get the external monitor to show an image. How can I get my external monitor to work when using Windows XP within Bootcamp, once I shut the lid to the Macbook?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, while on Windows XP you have to do it "the microsoft" way! To switch displays, just press Fn + F7 until the image shows at the tv.. tell me if it worked (imho this way better than the "close the lid and touch the external mouse" trick)

  • Using the built in camera

    I wish to seen and be seen by the person I'm emailing, or speaking to, but don't know how.
    1. How do I set up the camera part.
    2. How do I set up the voice part.
    Please give step by step instructions as I'm not too tech savy.
    Thanks.

    X423424XI thanks for the quick reply, i launched iChat and it's asking to set up an account as follows.
    Account Type: MobileMe, Mac.com, AIM, Google Talk or Jabber?
    Is there a default or a preferred account type?
    I will probably be communicating with another Mac.
    Can the Screen Name be different then my present screen name. 
    If yes, I should choose one I'm not presently using, correct?
    Do I have to get an iChat Account, if yes is there a charge for it? 
    Before filling in all these items, will I be asked any additional questions beyond this point that I should prepare for?
    I have a 20 iMac 2 GHz Core 2 Duo with OS 10.6 and 3 Gb installed memory.
