Making iSight work with Windows Vista on VirtualBox

I have a MacBook Pro with Windows Vista installed on the VirtualBox platform. The only problem I have is that it will not work with the iSight camera. I need the cam for video conferencing on a webring, and I do have to run the ring in Windows. When I start the ring, the camera comes on but I never get an image. The image screen just says "Initializing" and shows a counter showing the seconds elapsed. Is there a driver I can install, or some sort of workaround?
Thank you,
Leah

Hi,
Then you need to get at least the Snow Leopard Install Disk at the $29 price.
The Original Disks will be grey and are Model Specific.
That is to say that any Grey disks for an iMac for example are only useful to Reinstall the OS on another iMac from the same Production range - say Early 2008

ISight - connects with windows users no problem?

I'd like to buy this webcam, but I heard it has problems connecting with windows users. Will I be able to talk to people on it through AIM? Thats what I'd like, if not, I probably wont get it. Anyone have any personal experience or have any answers or helpful tips - I'd appreciate anything - thanks.

It is not the iSight itself that gives you the impression that connecting with Micros~1 Windows users causes problems ... it is the availability of (cross platform) applications that makes connecting a bit more cumbersome.
I have PowerMac G5 with iSight and I connect with my Micros~1 Windows platform family equiped with and without USB webcam.
The challenge will be to find messaging / VoiP applications with bearable audio quality and reasonable video performance.
I started with Skype for Voice and Yahoo! messenger for bad video ( 1-2 fps and video size 320 x 240).
Skype has a video plugin (only for Windows)
Yahoo! Messenger does not have voice yet (2.5.3)
MSN is badmouthing because of the "M"
I have used iChat with another Apple believer ... and the quality of Voice and Video is unparralled.
The best two alternatives I found are:
a) AIM 5.9
b) Trillian (www.trillian.cc)
Both use a free AIM screen name.
AIM works fine, see also EZJim pages.
TrillianPro 3.1 reuses AIM screen names ... and ... it has both good audio and zoom-to-full-screen-video size with fps rates filling your bandwidth.
The only negative on Trillian so far, the "handshake" for connecting two people takes some time.
TrillianBase is free but has no Video capabilities. The Pro version is 25$.
Regards Coen
ps. if you want to test your setup use my AIM screenname: coenjeukens

Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

Very very weird,
it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
Can anyone help?
I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
Andrea

Issue Fixed.
BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
The fix has been:
upgrading OSX to Lion
Patch to latest release
Go To Boot Camp Assistant
Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
Reboot into Windows 7
Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
Reboot
Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

Isight problem with windows

hi
i have a serious problem with my isight...
i installed win xp using the boot camp,after 1 month the isight is stopped working and i found under the device manager "DFU Loader"
i did the SMC and PRAM,it works maybe for 2 or 3 days then the same problem happen...when i login to the mac os and start the photobooth i see the msg "there is no camera connected"
i went to the support center and they say that the isight is not supported in windows...
so i want to know if it is a hardware or software problem..?

"i also tried to reinstall the drivers over and over again using the bootcamp.."
Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer afterwards? If not, do the following:
Boot up from your install DVD and run *"Repair Disk"* from the Utility menu. When done, go back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.
"did anyone face this problem before??"
Don't use Boot Camp.
If you have tried all the solutions in the link that EZ Jim provided for you, I suggest that you cross-post over in the Boot Camp forums. It's where the BC users all hang out. Perhaps they can help you.
"i bought just 2 monthes ago"
Then I strongly suggest that you take advantage of Apple's 90 days of FREE phone tech support before it runs out. If you have purchased Apple Care, use it. Let them deal w/your problems. It's what you are paying them for.

According to the spec sheet that system doesn't have Bluetooth. It might have a Bluetooth entry in the Control Panel, but the hardware isn't installed. That's why it can't find the phone.

ISight compatibility with windows webcam?

GF has an isight camera built into her computer. I own a dell pentium 3 (ram upgraded) and I wanted to know if it's feasible to get a windows webcam to talk with her on her iSight cam? What software and which webcam would be best to do this if it's possible?
thanks in advance,

Hi Eddie,
As Defcom says Skype is easier.
For the dedicated.
Trillian or AIM 5.9 on the PC. iChat on the Mac.
Setting up AIM.
Tuning the camera Use Message 570 onwards.
Opening the XP firewall Change the name of the app for Trillian.
More set up instructions at MVLDesign.

Is iSight compatible with Windows Netmeeting?

I'd like to chat on my camera to a user who does not have a mac? they us a PC and have net meeting.
If I take their IP address can I still connect to them. Or is it impossible

Hi Benjamin,
iChat will only chat to other Applications that ues the AIM Servers. So called AIM Clients.
On a PC there is, of course, AIM or Trillian that can Audio and Video chat to getter and lesser degrees
(AIM can not Audio only to iChat where as Trillian can but needs the $25 Por vesion to Video)

ISight with Windows XP?

Can i use an isight with Windows XP?

No, i mean, if it is possible to connect isight with a Winows XP maschine?It is possible if your PC has a Firewire connection. However, nobody has ever reported being able to make iSight's mic work on a PC regardless of which drivers or ancillary software they have added to the PC. That is why, in my previous response, I posted "Not recommended. iSight and the PC"Jim

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

ISight With Windows?

I recently sold my iMac G4, and my Uncle had purchased and sent me an iSight for my Mac for my birthday. I am back on my Dell Dimension, and I was wondering if I bought the 6-pin FireWire port card, if iSight will work with Windows as a webcam and a DV Camera. If not I would like to know so I can send it back to my uncle ASAP. I would greatly appreciate replies to my email at [email protected], if you wouldn't mind. I dont get onto the internet enough to check this kinda stuff .

Season's Greetings to all!
Good try, RJ! I don't know why some of the Apple FAQ (User tips) links work so intermittently these days????
Short answer: iSight is not the best choice for use as a PC webcam. For more info, this link iSight and the PC works. (I just tried it.)

Using the isight camera in the bootcamp setup with windows 8.1

Hi
I am running OSX Maverick in a bootcamp setup with Windows 8.1 and have played around with the isight camera but I would like to know what folder the photo's/video's are sent to?
Also, are there any settings or user guide for the isight camera in Windows 8.1?
Thanks

I don't use Boot Camp, but does anything here help you? Boot Camp - Apple Support.
My look there did not show anything about the new Windows 8.1. The latest I saw was Windows 8.

The answer will be wherever the app you are iusing for the capture stores them unless you change the default location. This answer is the same for either Windows or Apple operating systems.

Can my iSight work on partitioned hard drive with windows 7?

I have a macbook pro 17in screen, snow leopard. I have yet to get it updated to the latest operating system. I partitioned the hardrive to run windows 7. The built in iSight camera is not working. The dvd player will not visual to tv or projector. If I wanted to project a power point presentation, it wont transfer thru the hardware provided by the mac.

kmburr wrote: Can my iSight work on partitioned hard drive with windows 7?
Yes. If you are using BootCamp to boot Windows®, see Apple - Support - Boot Camp for help.
If you are using an virtualization emulator like Parallels, VMware Fusion, CrossOver Mac, or VirtualBox, seek help from its support site.
kmburr wrote:... The built in iSight camera is not working....
If the problem continues after turning Mac off for a minute or two and restarting in Mac OS X with no external devices connected, see Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
Be sure to test more than one Apple camera app in more than one user account.
kmburr wrote:... The dvd player will not visual to tv or projector....
I do not understand this sentence. We can try to help with this after you get your other problems corrected. However, to minimize confusion among problems right now, I suggest you not respond to this unless you can explain how it is related to your other issues.
