IGlasses messed up my isight :(

so i download iglasses from the download section of apple.ca and i didnt like it much. i moved the brightness around. moved it up and down. then down again. i started to do something on another application and when i went back to put the brightness to normal. i couldnt find the window with the iglasses adjustment settings. so i uninstalled iglasses but my isight is stuck on realllllly low brightness.i tried installing again but it only adjusts it from its already reallly low brightness(hard to explain). anywayy i need help......i downloaded the iglasses 7 day free trial will this go away after 7 days. i dont think so since i already uninstalled it.

  • Opinions please:- Using iGlasses with built in iSight

    I notice the built in iSight doesn't seem to create as good an image as the original iSight did. I've been considering getting iGlasses http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/req.html
    Does anyone with a built in iSight have any experience with this application? Is it any good? Is it reliable?
    Thanks

    Hi AppleTalker,
    I have been using iGlasses for almost a year with an external iSight and also noticed that -to me- the internal iSight was not as "snappy" as the external, so I got a copy for my intel iMac.
    I use iGlasses with both and have absolutely no problems with this application. It does work as well on the internal as on the external iSight - same everything, rock solid.
    Regards,
    John

  • ISight/Logic Board Mess

    i bought a macbook off of craigslist. i replaced basically everything in the macbook short of the cd drive and ram. i never have been able to get the isight to work, so i bought a new one and installed it today. i still cannot get the computer to recognize the isight camera.
    as i was putting the macbook together i noticed that a small gold or copper metal piece that is located above the airport card was broken off. it's a metal piece that bends and curves almost giving it a spring-like function....if that makes any sense.
    i ran a hardware test to see if i could find the isight problem and i got the error: 4SNS/1/40000000:TBOT. I have tried resetting everything on the computer, i have followed all the support pages that apple has to offer. does anyone have any ideas? could the gold piece have something to do with the error or would that be what is messing with the isight?
    obviously my cpu is not under warranty. i'm not sure where to go from here. any suggestions would be appreciated.

    UPDATE:
    Apparently the error that I was receiving was fixed when I put the battery back on. Upon retesting, with the battery on, I could not get the error code. However, when I tested without the battery the error came back.
    Here is the current situation. The iSight is still not being recognized. I have done everything suggested by apple, this forum and other forums as well. I then reinstalled Leopard...nothing. I also noticed that the battery is not being charged. The weird thing is that when you click the battery, in the top-right-hand-corner of the screen, it states that a battery in not connected...but, when I go to the System Profiler under the Power section it tells me the charge information (in which there is not a charge), cycle count and the condition of the battery. So obviously something is recognizing the battery. The cycle count and condition is good which eliminates that as a problem.
    So, here is what I am wondering:
    a.) How can the battery be recognized in the System Profiler, but not in the task bar?
    b.) If there is a problem in the cables (or whatnot) between the battery and logic board or the iSight camera and logic board, would that show up on a hardware test?
    c.) Would starting over by wiping the hard-drive, reinstalling the OS with the original disks I got with the CPU, updating, reinstalling Leopard and updating help? Maybe there is some missing files or drivers?
    d.) Could there be a problem with the iSight portion of the display inverter without it interfering with the actual screen portion?
    I bought the Macbook used (cheap) and have replaced everything in the computer (logic board, power supply, hard-drive, bluetooth, etc) minus the cd drive and original RAM.

  • IMac G5 (iSight) 20" fails to start.

    My wife's now out of warranty iMac G5 (3rd generation with built in iSight) is in trouble. I'm unsure what went wrong, but it won't stay powered on for longer than a minute or two. The OS doesn't even have time to boot up before power is cut off. It hangs at the gray screen and then powers down.
    I've removed all peripherals and only have the USB keyboard and mouse plugged in. Zapping the PRAM and reseting NVRAM were not successful in solving the problem either.
    I tried starting in single-user mode, but I wasn't able to get any farther, although I did get some info (see below). The last message it displays (repeatedly) is "USBF: 55.798 OHCI driver: OHCIRootHubPortPower bit not sticking (0) Retrying."
    From some web research, it seems that there may be pre-existing issues with the power supply, but that may apply more to the 1st and 2nd generation models. The iMac G5 Repair Extension Program did not apply to my model/serial number. I am, however, just 3 months out of AppleCare.
    Here's the remainder of the information I was able to get by photographing the screen before power cut out:

    Any thoughts on what this could be? Based on the info above, it seems like there's a power issue...

    Don't mess with the iSight, it's particularly difficult to open, although it can be done, but only if you are very sure of your skills. If you are confident, however, go for it!
    You can buy a replacement at [welovemacs.com] and here are some ideas on how to do it:

  • Recording video confernece help

    I just bought the new version of garage band so I can record an ichat video conference and I'm having a hard time, can anyone give me some advice.
    Best,
    Ken

    Have the eCamm Software as well - works perfect ! ! !
    But also the other eCamm apps are cool.
    SpeedBoost to initiate MultiVideoChats on a non G5 System
    and iGlasses to adjust the iSight if you have not enough light...
    Get the iRocks Pack for iSight and you have everything you need and don't hassle with the other stuff.

  • IMac iSight and iGlasses Problem

    Anyone else having problem's getting iSight to work with iGlasses (1.1.4) ?
    Thank you,
    Mason

    I, also, cannot get this to work. I think we need an update from the iGlasses people.

  • Isight pic has blue bands - iChat problem?

    Hi ~
    I recently set up a new external isight with my G4 desktop and 17" studio display. I have not yet tried to video conference; thus far I've only checked out the camera to be sure it works. I have no trouble getting an image within iChat 3.1.5, but the picture has blue vertical lines running through it. The lines are there both in bright room light and dim light. Beneath the lines, the image looks quite good.
    I have tried all the obvious fixes: a different firewire port, different cable, etc. Didn't help.
    I don't believe the camera's optics are at fault. I have Security Spy on the computer. If I control the camera through Security Spy, and set the camera's output to 640 x 480, the picture is clean with no blue lines. However, if I use Security Spy to set the camera's resolution to 320 x 240, the blue lines appear.
    I know that isight is a VGA camera, so 640 x 480 is its native resolution. I think what may be happening is that somehow iChat is telling the camera to set its output at 320 x 240 instead of 640 x 480. I can't find any way to manually change the resolution of the camera from within iChat. (And I can't videoconference from within Security Spy.) According to Apple's description of iChat, it employs a new H.264 video codec, which "intelligently scales to available bandwidth and hardware for improved overall performance."
    I fear my iChat is not being very intelligent at all, but is messing up what should be a lovely picture from a nice little camera!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Kinda looks like it is sending out a 320x240 signal. (Can't really be 160 x 120, can it???) The firmware supposedly was udpated to 1.0.3 the first time iChat launched with the camera plugged in. However, the updater log does mention something about an error:
    iSightUpdater was launched by iChat.

    2006-12-13 17:02:01 -0600: iSight Updater quitting...
    I actually tried to reupdate with 1.0.3, but Tiger wouldn't let me.
    Now here's a new piece of the puzzle. I downloaded a demo version of iglasses today. In fiddling with its settings, I discovered that I could eliminate the blue lines if I increase the color temperature and white balance so much that cool colors (esp. blue) are nearly absent. I also found that I could colorize the picture with every hue but blue. In the blue area, the picture just goes unsaturated.
    So now I wonder if there's a problem with the way in which the camera measures white balance/temperature at the cool end of the spectrum.
    Not sure how Security Spy gets around this, though...

  • ISight Noise interference - I know what is causing it, but how to fix it?

    Hi,
    I bought a MacBook in April, and from day one I had this interfering noise with the iSight. Unfortunately for me, the iSight was one of the main reasons I bought a mac.
    I looked online and there is no fix, there is no suggestions because there is "a small number of users with this problem" (which I doubt for some reason) or that nobody knows why its doing it.
    I continued to use the iSight after I figured that editing the sound with the EQ reduces it, but its a tedious task. And the noise is never actually gone, just reduced.
    By chance I was recording with the iSight outside on a sunny day. And would you believe the sound that was recoded came out crystal clear. I took it home and I tried recording again and the interfering noise was back.
    The only difference that I could think of between the two recordings was light. Outside was really bright out, but inside it was it wasn't as half as bright.
    So to test this, I got my lamp and I held it up against the iSight and I started taking. The sound was perfect. Take it away let the camera adjust to the darker room and it was back to the usual tricks.
    So now that I know the auto brightness feature of the iSight causes this noise, I downloaded iGlasses to mess around with contrast and brightness etc. ... no luck. Still had the noise.
    So I'm here wondering, if there will ever be an apple fix for the auto perfect picture thing on the iSight because recording in the shade just causes an interfering noise. And living in Ireland we never get that many sunny days. So I cant use direct sunlight all the time.
    Any suggestions would be nice.

    To Apple Discussions!
    "_*from day one*_ I had this interfering noise with the iSight."
    Did you contact Apple during your 90 day warranty of free phone tech support? Do you have AppleCare?

  • ISight exposure is overcompensating

    Aaargh. Having suffered for months with the 'in use by another application' problem, I inadvertently fixed my iSight camera yesterday when another, separate problem forced me to perform an Archive and Install.
    With my Mac back at OSX 10.4.4, I found my iSight cam was now working again. I used it in iChat very successfully with a friend for about half an hour last night.
    Today, I set about bringing my Mac fully back up to date and ran the 10.4.11 combo updater (intel), then via Software Update a series of Java updates and the Quicktime update.
    Guess what ... iSight is now on the fritz again. But it is a different problem this time. Now, the picture is very dark. I can sit right up close to the camera and point a desk lamp straight at myself and just about make myself out, but the next thing the camera adjusts its exposure down again and everything goes dark. This occurs in iChat video preview, Photo Booth and iMovie. In Skype, if I go to Preferences and enable video, then very briefly when the iSight camera starts up, I get a good picture - but then in less than 2 seconds the exposure adjusts downwards and I'm left looking at near blackness again.
    This is not a hardware problem - unless it's a very, very big coincidence that it should have happened today, while I'm busy doing software updates.
    It looks very much to me as if either the update to 10.4.11, or one of the Java updates, or the Quicktime update, has in some way screwed up the exposure control on the iSight camera.
    Is there a pref file somewhere I can trash to try to force this to re-set itself, or some other solution?

    Hi, and thanks for your suggestions. I repaired permissions but this didn't fix the issue. The troubleshooting tips didn't work either - sadly in my experience Apple's troubleshooting tips are so hopelessly generic that they're rarely of use. Or maybe I've just been at this game so long that I've already tried those things before I start looking for help ...
    Anyway, after a search of this forum (using Google, which is far better at searching the Apple Support site than the site's own search option) I came across someone who fixed this issue with Ecamm's iGlasses application. I have installed the seven-day trial version and it works - but only if you keep it permanently set on 'exposure lock'. This option prevents the iSight camera from adjusting its exposure for the ambient light conditions, or in my case over-adjusting so far that you couldn't see anything.
    I consider this to be a work-around, and not a solution, because seven days from now I am going to have to purchase iGlasses if I want to keep using my iSight camera.
    What I really want to know is, what settings within the Mac is iGlasses interfering with in order to prevent the iSight cam from messing itself up, and how can I alter those settings myself without having to purchase third-party software? Surely there's a control panel, pref pane, pref file or something, somewhere, that I can have a play with?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

  • Isight not recognized by Skype, Google Video Chat, Logitech VID and ichat.

    MacBook4,1 Firewire
    Leopard 10.5.8
    Skype 2.8.0.866
    Quicktime Plug in 7.6.9
    QUictime player MIA
    Here is my story. I will try and make it as brief as possible.
    The other day, I put a rented DVD into my dvd drive, and it didn't load. I checked for updates for Mac or quicktime. Nothing available. I did some googlin, and someone suggested I zap pram, repair permissions. I blindly obeyed. That didn't help. Then I messed around with quicktime. Not sure what I did. Finally, I had to download the latest version of VLC to watch my movie. I have no idea of my problems with QT have anything to do with my isight issues with Skype and the like, but I mentioned it just in case.
    The next morning, when I went to skype, my video wasn't sending. I'm not sure if my chat partners video was working, we usually only do it one way. Me sending.
    I checked to see if my video was working in photobooth. Indeed it was (and still does).
    I have to date:
    Downloaded the latest version of QT (7.6.9 for Leopard)- the web plug-in for watching QT online is installed and running properly.
    After install, the QT player does not show up in applications, or anywhere else on the hard drive.
    I Messed around with QT in ways I can't describe. Trying to install older versions, removing who knows what files. Installing again.
    zapped PRAM
    Cleared preferences for Skype by removing skype plist
    download latest version skype
    deleted all skype files I could find
    reinstall Skype
    repaired permissions (FIRST THING I DID)
    Put your Mac to sleep
    Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by by choosing the Apple
    Shut down your Mac
    Start up mac
    Shutting down, disconnecting power supply, taking out batter, putting dumte mac together again
    changed permissions on skype specifically to make sure all accounts were read/write
    tried setting using skype with a new account
    tried using skype, google video and logitech using wifi at my work
    uninstalled PREY video security app plug in
    removed and uninstalled divx
    removed and uninstalled perian
    Checked Preferences>Video show a black screen that says "No Video Camera Connected" and does not show ANY cameras in the video camera chooser drop down"
    NOTE: Google Video Chat does show the isight cam, but a black screen. Logitech just has a black screen and asks "where in the interweb is your cam buddy?
    I have searched and failed to find CamCamX5.component
    Tested video in Google Chat and Logitech VID chat. built-in isight not recognized
    Tested video in iChat - I chat crashed when opening. (i posted the crash report at the end of this post)
    I'm sure I'm missing some.......
    SOME THINGS I HAVE NOT YET TRIED
    ROSETTA - in the Skype info pane, Rosetta is greyed out. I don't know if I have it, don't know where to get it. Don't know if I need.
    Installing Skype while playing Stairway to Heaven backwards
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Done disk repair - I'm not sure how to do that, I used to have a disc for my old mac for that
    Deleted iPhotoPhotocast and/or QuartzComposer.
    Closing Firefox and starting Skype
    install older version of skype

    I know this is a lot of info. I hope I didn't miss anything. I use skype with three people. Three very important people. Two of which, meh, the video isn't important. ONe where the video option is paramount.
    I'm just a little frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    We will come back to iChat if required.
    It does prefer an Screen Name to be added as you go through the Start Up Screens (First Run) but you can click through these and just access the iChat > Preferences > Video Section to view a Preview.
    I must admit to not seeing a Crash Log when the known chosen Mic/Audio Input has not been listed.
    However if the External Audio was Firewire connected that may explain things.
    NOTE:-
    mAudio and other Firewire Audio Devices do tend to need the Most up-to-date drivers to work properly.
    Sometimes it pays not to do a COMBO or other Software Update until you know the drivers are ready for it.
    With any OS update above the 10.x.1 point will also have a COMBO version.
    The COMBO then includes all the updated items between the base level OS and the latest Update.
    So for 10.6 there is only what is called a Delta for 10.6.1
    There is a delta (10.6.1 to 10.6.2 only) and a COMBO (10.6 to 10.6.2) for the next update and this is repeated through 10.6.6
    The Deltas only include those things that are Updated on that occasion (As in the 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 example - 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 would not include the stuff in 10.6.4 or earlier)
    COMBOs can be installed "Over-the-Top" of what you have already installed.
    It is certainly needed when you Re-install something (Apple apps/Files etc) from the Install Disk you have when your OS has been updated beyond that point.
    Some apps like iChat Get their Updates in the OS Updates and need to "Match" the progression.
    The 10.5.8 COMBO (Your specs say 10.5.8) is Here
    For others the 10.6.5 COMBO is here
    and 10.6.6 COMBO IS here
    <hr>
    Quicktime.
    The Download and Install should be all the parts of Quicktime.
    Internet Plug-ins for Browsers, various System Files to make Quicktime work for other apps, various Components to play various formats and of course the Player itself.
    The Player should be in the Applications Folder with this icon:-
    The OS 10.6 version (Quicktime X has a big blue X icon)
    If you mean it has disappeared from the DOCK you can Drag the Application back to the DOCK to make the icon (and link to app) again (The app stays in the Applications folder the OS just makes an icon and links it for you by doing this)
    One of the biggest causes of many apps not working is turning Off/Disabling certain Fonts the apps need.
    Follow the Link in this Users Tip by Kurt Lang. Make sure that the Correct System Fonts are ON.

  • Intel iMac Core Duo: iSight/iChatAV 3 Focus Problems

    My dad and I have matching Intel iMac's with same RAM etc. What I am finding with iChatAV in a 1-on-1 video chat is that in the little window that shows me what I look like, my video looks awesome, yet my dad's video looks quite out of focus. He experiences the same thing on his end. He looks fine, and I am out of focus. We are both trying iGlasses as well because the iSight is just too dang dark on its own.
    Now when I had my PowerBook G4, Panther, and an external iSight whenever I chatted with buddies both my video and theirs looked AWESOME. Almost like watching HDTV.
    This is very strange. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this in iChat under the new Intel iMac's, as this is VERY unacceptable quality. I'm sure it cannot be a bandwidth issue as we both have 7Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream. And the quality I saw on the Keynote was much better than this.
    Anyone else used both cameras and is finding this with the new Intel's?

    Thank you, I had looked there and musta missed the 480Mb/s rating. So yes that is USB 2.0.
    There is a article at CNet comparing the two cameras:
    "In summary:
    1) The external isight camera is very good (Firewire, F2.8 glass lens, auto-focus, CCD, 30 fps).
    2) The internal isight is quite poor in comparison (USB, plastic lens, fixed-focus, CMOS sensor)."
    I tried a few chats with other people using new iMac's today, with the same poor results. It is an inferior camera, hands down.

  • Flash thinks that my isight is in use by another program -- when its not.

    When a flash page calls my webcam for use (like Yahoo Live), I get the following error: "Camera is unavailable, may be in use by another application." I've checked, and nothing else is using the camera.
    I went into the system and found out that the webcam is controlled by the following component.
    System > Library > Quicktime > QuickTimeComponents.component
    When I remove the component from the above location, Flash says that there is no webcam. When I put it back, I get the error message stated above.
    Now, I didnt always have this problem... Yahoo Live used to work great, but then I installed Skype, and now it wont work... I then uninstalled Skype, removed it from my login items and everything, but still, Yahoo Live wont work. I then tried the something on my Macbook, and the same thing.
    Does anyone know whats going on here?
    Both my iMac and Macbook running Leopard have this same issue.
    Im thinking that the above quicktime component is messed up and needs to be replaced with the original one.. What do you all think?
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Hello Brandon
    You can use the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight to help find the source of your problem and perhaps eliminate iSight as a contributor.
    Unless your problem is with iSight itself, your troubleshooting may lead you to the root cause.
    Try some other Flash-based video website to determine whether your problem is only with Yahoo or some system component.
    Have you tried to configure your "Flash" settings as described here?
      http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4761707&#4761707
    If you cannot even get to the Flash settings window, you may have damaged software. Try the following:
    • Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
    • Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
    • Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
    • Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
    Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
    Try a different browser (Firefox, Camino, etc.) to see if your problem might be in Safari.
    Have you tried reinstalling QuickTime? Repair permissions before installing QT and again after the restart that finishes the QT update.
    If you still believe that the problem is QuickTime related, you might get better help by searching or posting in QuickTime Discussions.
    Beyond that, I would suggest that you reinstall all of your Mac's software and see if everything works before you add any third-party apps or peripherals.
    Please let us know what you find.
    Cheers,

  • ISight with Skype and aMSN - inverted picture

    When I use iSight with Skype or aMSN, the picture is horizontally inverted and no longer functions as if I'm looking into a mirror like with iChat.
    There are no options in either program to change this (that I can find). Does anyone know of a solution? I would like flip it horizontally so the image is as if I was looking into a mirror as per iChat.
    Thanks

    Hello Mr_Harley,
    Did you get enough info from Tony (Defcom) to consider your question Answered?
    I know of no cheaper solution to your problem for both Skype and aMSN than the $8 iGlasses suggestion than Tony offered, but there may be individual solutions that some aMSN or Skype users could recommend.
    If you are willing to consider different software for each application, you can search the great Skype Help pages for Skype-specific help or post your question in the Skype for Mac OS X forum.
    For a aMSN-specific solution, try a search or post in the aMSN Forum.
    If you need more suggestions or information before you can mark this question "Answered," please let us know what part of your Topic still needs to be addressed, and we will try to give you some other suggestions.
    Cheers,

  • Isight not listed under firewire in system profile

    hello all,
    All of a sudden my isight is not listed under firewire in the system profile. I've tried restarting with it plugged in and with it not plugged in. The green light of the camera will come on for a few seconds then shuts off when i do plug it into a firewire port. I have tried both ports on the computer and it is the same thing with each. I use yahoo messenger and no camera is listed there anymore. I also have iglasses installed and it always worked great. I guess I need to know how to get the system to list it again!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Tim
    Sorry Tony's good suggestion did not work for you.
    (1) You can try the other checks, including checks for things like bad cables or ports, from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional. If you can, it will be particularly helpful to try your iSight on another Mac and try another iSight on your Mac.
    (2) Click the highlighted items in System Profiler as follows to check for iSight:
    If your iSight is still not recognized in System Profiler, try the suggestions in Apple's What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device article.
    (3) If you can get your external iSight recognized as a Firewire device in System Profiler but your iSight is still not working, you should next try all relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific". Click here if you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting.
    (4) If you cannot get System Profiler to recognize iSight as a Firewire device after trying all relevant suggestions, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
