Ichat wont recognize my logitech webcam

hi-please help! my boyfriend bought me this logitech webcam that is compatible with macs...supposedly. however, it won't work with ichat. i dont think the cable is firewire, so can someone tell me whether or not it's compatible and if so, why won't it work. if it won't work because its not firewire (whats the difference? and what should a fire wire cable look like?) then is there anyway i can get a firewire adapter or something. if not, how can we get this thing to be recognized by ichat or is there some other program i can use? my boyfriend has a pc and plans on using AIM in order to connect with me via video, but it keeps saying that my computer does not have the capabilities. I have a ibook g4 laptop with mac os x 10.3.9.

URGENT: JMStudio can't recognize my second webcam

Hello everybody
I'm trying to create an applet which capture from two webcams and display them into two different frames.
I already created one frame and it captures from the first cam perfectly.
NOW�
I cant create the second frame because the JMStudio cant recognize my new (second) webcam (it's not in the registry list even when I click the Detect capture devices button).
I also tried to run jmfinit but this did not work.
Even I uninstalled JMF and reinstall it but it always recognize the first webcam
Any suggestions to solve this situation.
(my second webcam is Logitech USB).
Please please give me any advice.
Thank you all.

It forgot all about the first one !!!.
Shortly, it manipulates one cam at a time !!! please please if any one have any idea tell me.
Thank you,,

Is the Logitech Webcam C930e fully Mac compatible?

Hi:
I'm looking for a quality webcam that is fully Mac-compatible, which is to say that not only will my Mac Book pro running 10.7.5 recognize the camera, but that I'll also be able to use the camera and software for full functionality.
I'll use it to teach piano with skype or some other similar type of software, so the mountabilty/portabilty of the cam to get a good view of the piano is critical.
I'm also wondering how one might use 2 cams in tandem, switching between views of me speaking and demonstrating at the piano as needed, but at the moment that's a side technical issue that I'm guessing would not be difficult to overcome.
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Michael

The Logitech support page says that the Logitech Webcam C930e is compatible with Macs running 10.7.x or greater so it should be compatible with your MacBook Pro.
If I were you, I would email Logitech support about the possibility of using a two-camera setup (or if there's software that offers PiP for Mac). See -> http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/webcam-c930e-business?crid=405.
Good luck,
Clinton

IMovie11 (m/Bookpro,10.7) does not recognize my Logitech C920, though "PhotoBooth" does

iMovie11 only recognizes the built-in cam. When I plug in the Logitech webcam the iMove capture screen goes black and then reverts to the built-in cam. The cam selector at the bottom of the capture screen does not include the webcam in the selection list (only the built-in there).

oops - C910, which Logitech says is compatible with Mac.

EMac, Logitech webcam problem....

my mother has a eMac, she's running Mac OSX 10.3.9....
she's bought three separate logitech webcams: quickcam, quickcam deluxe, and the pro9000. none works on her computer. no software updates are necessary for her computer, we use skype, and it's also fully updated. she's tried all the usb ports on her computer, powering off and powering on, but the computer never seems to recognize the camera. no signs of life.
the strange thing is that she sent me the exact same webcam (quickcam for notebooks)... i've got an ibook g4-- and all i had to do was plug it in: it worked instantly without any install disk.
help! what could be the problem?

Got my cheapo webcam to work...

Logitech webcam would like isight

I have a Logitech webcam that I have never managed to get to work with my Mac. I have just downloaded iChat with the hope that this program would enable me to talk with my mother via the webcam, but it doesn't recognise my camera. If I go to preferences it states no camera detected, however the microphone on the camera is picking up my voice.
I have had the webcam for over a year now, but most of the time it has been in the box as I lost all patience with it. However I have tried again as aforementioned Mother is desperate to see her Granddaughter in action!
I have downlaoded a program called Macam and still iChat can't find the camera.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am open to all options at this stage, inculding buying a new webcam, I just want to be able to connect to my Mum's PC using the webcam.
Thanks,
Vicki

Hello VSR.
(1) Your last sentence says you "just want to be able to connect to my Mum's PC using the webcam." If that is all you want to do, and if both of you are willing to install your respective versions of a different software application, you might find the easiest solution to be Skype. Skype's web site explains their computer to telephone fee-for-service plans at length, but text, audio, and video conferencing between computers is free.
Have a look at the comprehensive Skype Help pages for more Skype-specific info. For instance, Skype specifically recommends the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000, but other Logitechs may work. Skype offers more video help and information in their "Knowledgebase" area.
(2) If you would rather use your Logitech webcam with iChat AV 2.1 as your chat application instead of Skype, you need to add iChatUSBCam. iChatUSBCam offers a free demo so you can try before you buy. Follow the instructions for iChatUSBCam, the "macam" drivers, and iChat AV. You should be sorted in no time.
Check the iChatUSBCam camera guide, too. Even webcams not listed may work, but those listed have been reported to be compatible based on user reports.
(3) If you really want an iSight webcam instead of your Logitech, the best I can suggest is that you check local stores or the internet Auction Sites. Some of the items on the auction sites are advertised as "New in Box" or "Like New."
Even if the iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS (new, old-stock) iSight, it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be interested in considering Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions.
(4) Please let me know if I missed any of your questions.
Enjoy video chatting,
Jim

I recently upgraded to the newest iTunes version and now my older Ipod is no longer recognized by my computer. iTunes doesnt open, it just gives me an error message in the bottom right corner saying Unknown Device. Ive tried looking for / updating drivers, reseting, everything and nothing works. I tried every USB port on my laptop as well. Running Win XP. Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how i can fix this???
Thanks

Its been working perfectly for 4 years until last week. I have the USB/FireWire combo for hooking it up to my computer. It worked with all the older version of iTunes and now that 7.1.1 is on there, it wont recognize it at all. The computer is convinced there are no drivers for the "unknown device" and all searches performed for the missing drivers come up empty. The computer cannot see the iPod as an iPod, and none of this happened until I downloaded the most recent iTunes.

Pls.help my iphone stuck in recovery mode and itunes wont recognize it..i tried the other options that posted here,,,pls tell me what to do..

Windows Wont Recognize

I'm updating my Dads iPod for him and for the first time ever, Windows/iTunes wont recognize it.
On the iPods display screen it says do not dissconnect so its not my USB ports nor the cable. Any ideas?
BTW, this is the iPod Color U2 version thing

This http://www.copytrans.net/helpcopytrans.php#22 is an interesting iPod detection problem check-list.

My itunes account shuts down for no reason. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done. Ideas??

My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason. If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done. Ideas??

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?
