I need in web cam that would be work in Linux.
Please write list of web cam that have linux drivers.
I asked my reb at CDW who sent an e-mail to Creative labs sales and was told the the Live Cam Optia Pro had drivers available for linux
This camera supports UVC (USB Video Class) whick is supported with in Linux see http//linux-uvc.berlios.de.
The driver is included on the Suse Enterprise desktop 0-2 distr, but so far I have not been able to get the camera to work correctly.
I am still working on the problem.

Interested in buying an old 35mm prime lens for my film camera that would fit and EF mount.
Interested in buying an old 35mm prime lens for my film camera that would fit and EF mount. I've found plenty of FD mounts and plenty of newer EF lenses around $200-300. Would like somethign in between if anyone has something. Does not have to be Canon brand.
I would not buy Canon FD or Minolta MD lenses as they will need a very expensive modification on order to work with any Canon EOS camera. (film or digital) There are cheap adapters available, but they have cheap glass optics that ruin the image quality.
Old Manual Focus lenses from Nikon, Pentax, and Olympus can use a very inexpensive adapter with Canon EOS cameras and still give great results.

Why is "photo booth" giving a message saying "no camera attached" when it has a web cam? it did work okay when I bought the computer six months ago?
I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have a G4 Power Mac without the original monitor - I am using a monitor from a PC that does not have a built in webcam. I have also tried a "Blue" brand webcam that was received as a gift for me that does not work...and went to best buy to buy a compatable one and they had none that they thought would work w/ the G4 power mac What are my options? Ideally the cheapest would be a compatable webcam. any thoughts/suggestions? or thoughts about where to get a replacement original monitor.
thanks!HI,
ON the cam front.
The OS will support UVC compliant camera (USB Video Class) since 10.4.9 in iChat (Slightly earlier in other apps)
The issue for older G4 macs is that these are always USB 2.0 cameras (Used to be marked "Vista Ready" or "Certified" as Windows went USB 2.0 about the same time).
I have a G4/1ghz Dual Processor tower (So called Mirrored Doors)
This can have extra PCI cards and have installed one with 4 USB 2.0 ports (Remove blank, insert and secure with screw and away it went)
Nowadays virtually any USB webcam will be UVC compliant and USB 2.0 (Meaning no Windows or Mac Drivers to download and Install)
The abilities of the Drivers in the OS do vary between Windows and Macs of this age. (Lion on Intels does bring face tracking).
Anyways, once you solve the USB 2.0 input issue then virtually any USB 2.0 camera will work including the X-Box 360 cam or a PalyStation 3 one
Firewire
The Original External iSight was of course Firewire.
There were a number of other around the same time (Until USB cameras took over).
This means that some DV convertors that use Firewire to get Analogue CamCorders signals into a Mac will work (some digital camcorders may not produce a DV signal as such and will need a convertor)
The camera may have options on it's playback that mean it can be in 4:3 ratio if used with iChat. It also cannot be HDV (or any propriatary form) (You have to have an Intel and Lion/iChat 6 for HD).
Of course some DV camcorders do use Firewire to connect to a computer (although this has dropped off as USB 2.0 is actually slightly faster)
iMovie will accept many more formats than iChat will but you were talking about Web Cams.
NOTES
You may find sites still trading the external iSight. They are going to be at least 8 years old now and you will need to check so how that they are working
USB 1.1
If you can find a USB 1.1 Camera for sale or tucked in a drawer it will need two things:-
1) A Mac Driver
2) This Utility for iChat http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/
Some manufacturers did have web sites with Downloads.
The Camera Guide page at Ecamm shows the links to two third Party Drivers from macam and IOXperts.
You will note the first Ecamm page says that iUSBCam does not work in Snow Leopard but you specs do say you are using Leopard (10.5)
Back to Screens
My tower has a card that supports two monitors.
The one I bought with my Tower was the Studio Display (Same Acrylic type surround to the screen as the Tower). (It does have USB 1.1 ports on the back)
This used the then Apple Display Connector (ADC)
It also had a DVI output.
Ergo any DVI Screen will work.
As to whether a DVI screen/display with a camera can use that DVI connector to feed the Camera to the Mac I don't know.

Other web cams that work with apple
Does any one know of any other web cam other then Isight that work with Apple ?
Hello Matt Ramirez,
Here's a link that includes a list of cameras they have found to be compatable:

If you have a more specific question, let us know. In the meantime, have fun and let do post back on your final setup.

Are there 3rd party web cams that work with Mac?
I bounght an iMac G5 just before iSight was built in. Recently I went to but the iSight camera, but it is no longer sold seperately. Tried an off-the-shelf Logitech cam but to no avail. Is there a 3rd party cam that will work????
Check http://www.applechat.info/
P.S. And considering you have no MacBook Pro according to your profile, and it has its own built-in iSight, you might seriously want to consider posting further questions about your machine in the appropriate forum, if I can't answer them. First determine if your iMac is indeed a G5:
Next post here for iMac G5:

And here for iBook G4:

under the appropriate forum. -
Are there digital Canon cameras that would be compatible with the lenses to a Canon TX?
Are there any Canon digital cameras that will accept lenses for a Canon TX film camera?
The TX uses the FD mount and the digital cameras use an EF or EF-S mount and they are not interchangeable.

Icantget my web cam to load whyor work
when i install the drive for my web cam all i get is there it cannot be installed because of an error why
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== i loaded the drive for my web camYou should look for support with your webcam manufacturer, I believe.

I have a camera that does not work with apple or IPad any way to make it work?
Is there any app or program that get the camera to down load to IPad or apple computer? It works with Linux or window.
Well, they have a website, but here is a link to their information about unlocking iPhones.

You may not qualify for an unlock though. -

Try Safari > Preferences > Advanced and down the botton tick Show Develop Menu In Menu Bar. Now you will see Develop in the top menu in Safari, click on it to open the drop down window, go to User Agent and select Internet Explorer and see if this allows you to open the page. Otherwise, as Deggie said, it's up to a Windows Install on your Mac through Bootcamp or Paralells or the like to run IE within Windows.

Mac mini, will not open FF when i select "e mail us" on a web site tab.
This site has always worked before I updated to latest FFversion.
The hosting co checked the links and they are all ok. The email us function is performing with Safari.
I repaired permissions on the mac, but no help with this problem.OK, I realize now that I need to upload to the web site the version of the PDF with the word "_distributed" appended to the file name, not the original PDF file. When I do that, it now gives info at the top about how to submit the form.
So my only question, I think, is what kind of submit button to place on the form itself.
I see there is another kind of button I can place on the page, just a plain "Button". Within its Object Palette, I see a setting called "Control Type", with choices of "Regular", "Execute", and "Submit".
If I choose "Submit", it asks "Submit to URL...", so that isn't what I want. "Execute" also asks for some info that I don't have. So do I just choose "Regular" for this button? If a user clicks that, does the data get submitted to adobe.com and the responses file?

Web Cam applet is not working in great consistency
Hi... My video capturing applet is not working very well.
The image stream is displayed on the web page in JPEG format with 0.5 quality. However, it crashes after a while and the it does not release the vfw resource.
I have to restart my machine in order to execute it again.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

Been trying to look at upgrading service on-line for a week now! Can't get website to provide information, or get an email to send question to. Don't want to spend hours on phone trying to get an answer. Beginning to regret that I only have 1 option for service in area.

Since the last Firefox update was installed on my system, Firefox crashes several times a day on websites that used to be no problem. I have five crash report id's from the last two days (I usually don't send the report). Do you want all of them?
I'm running Firefox 3.6.23
I'm running MacOS X version 10.5.8, on 1.5ghz powerPC G4
with 2gb memory and over 100gig still available on my 150gig hard drive.
I checked for updates - there are no new updates.
I tried sending feedback, but the feedback page said I had to be running the latest version of firefox. So I clicked on "latest version of Firefox", and got "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system"
The "learn more" link took me to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/ which says that OS 10.5 is supported.
So - how do I get back to my previous version of Firefox so it doesn't keep crashing
AND/OR
Is there a fix coming to stop all the crashing
AND/OR
What do I do about Firefox versions on my computer?
ThanksThat can be a problem with a plugin, possibly Java.
