Is iSight compatible with Pismo PB?

Will iSight work with my Pismo Powerbook?
Thanks!
Pismo Powerbook, 512MB Ram Mac OS X (10.3.9)

iSight is a Firewire device. If your Pismo has a Firewire port, it will work to do at least some things. However, the complete answer will depend upon your computer's processor type and speed and Firewire capability, what you want to do with iSight, and what software you want to use to accomplish that task. Giving us that information will let us give you better help.
For instance, the table in the lower left corner of Apple's iSight product page shows the requirements for iChat AV with iSight. However, even if you Pismo is a G3 with a slower than 600 mHz processor, if you meet the other requirements, you can still use iChat AV (although it will be slow.) A third party app called iChatUSBCam can work around Apple's minimum processor speed.
You have many other software choices, too. Some Applications You Can Use With iSight. System requirements vary among applications, so check their links or help systems for more info on the ones you want to use.

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)

Is isight external camera compatible with mac mini?

I just bought an old isight camera from ebay. I used a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect to my late 2012 mac mini. I test to cam using facetime but the screen said no camera connected. So I connect the isight with my old macbook to test the camera, and the connection is fine.
I wonder if the old isight cam is still compatible with mac mini. If so, that might be the problem of the fire 800 to 400 cable.

Other users, including myself, could not get the barrel iSight camera to work on the 2012 Min with Mavericks. It did work on my late 2009 Mini except the mic did not work. It does work on my late 2013 Mac Pro desktop except again, that the mic does not work.

Sony DVD-R 1x - 8x compatible with iMAC G5 isight?

I just purchased a box of Sony DVD-R and after reading the warning on the box I'm worried that it could somehow damage my MAC.
It reads: "Always check if your drive is compatible as using this disc on some drives/recorders might damage the disc or device."
How can I check if the Sony DVD-R 1x-8x is compatible with my iMAC?
Thanks for your help.

Lots of people report successfully using Sony disks. I myself prefer TDK or Fuji, but Sony will work just fine.
I assume that they are the full-sized disks and not the mini-DVDs that are used in a lot of camcorders. If so, I can't imagine how that disk would damage any drive.

Is the new Ipod Touch 5g compatible with all of the ios 6 features and is the new Ipod have the exact same design as the Iphone 5 for example square sides, instead of curving sides?

Does the new Ipod have the same features as the Iphone 5 in terms of panorama, or like the new Isight camera? Like the same features/ design?

it is compatible with most iOS 6 things, the main difference is just the fact that it doesn't have 3G or 4G, which limits how much it can use Siri or Maps.
it does have panorama, and a 5 MP iSight camera. the design is different. it is a lot thinner, it has curved edges, and at no part of the side is it flat, same for the top and bottom. that is NOT the case for iPhone. also the iPod doesn't have a mic. on the front.
hope this answered your question.
just remember this for iOS 6: pretty much everything that doesn't always require internet the iPod can do. if it is something liketurn by turn direction, unless you have wi-fi in car, it wont work.
if you need siri for anything outside of wifi, unless it's something on the hard drive itslef, i.e. setting up reminders, it wont work for thing such as facebook posts, looking for restaurants, etc.

How can I install a version of Safari compatible with MacOS 7.5

At some point I downloaded and installed Safari 6.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (4.1) running OS 10.7.4. When I tried to open it, an error message appeared stating that this version of Safari is incompatible with OS 10.7.x and is compatible with OS 10.8. Since then I updated to OS 10.7.5. After completing the update the iCloud System Preferences automatically opened. Next to the Bookmarks Icon was a button saying "Install Safari." Pushing this button brings me to a webpage that appears to be advertising copy for Safari but seems to lack any option for downloading Safari. Searching for an OS 10.7.5 compatible version I came across a page with quite a number of Safari downloads at Apple - Support - Downloads. This page offers dowloads of Saafari for earlier versions of Safari, but not for an OS 10.7.x compatible version of Safari. What is the solution? If I upgraded to OS 10.8 or OS 10.9 would I gain access to Safari once again? I'd be most appreciative of any help with this issue. Thanks.

Thanks Z-B-B for your quick response. I downloaded and installed the version of Safari (6.1.4) that is described as compatible with OS 10.7.5.on the website you suggested. I restarted the computer. After it restarted Safari had regained its proper icon. However, when I tried to open Safari, it immediately crashed with the following error message:

Disk Warrior not compatible with OS 10.4.6?

I purchased DiskWarrior (version 3.03) last year and used it once on my old 1.6 GHz iMac with OS 10.3.6.
I now have a 2.1 GHz non-Intel iSight iMac with Mac OS 10.4.6.
I have tried twice to start up from the DiskWarrior CD - the first time, I never got beyond the grey apple and very loud fans whirring; the second time, I got another grey icon (sort of like a traffic sign - a circle with a line through it) along with the spinning wheel. Both times I gave up after 30 minutes and turned the iMac off with the power button.
This is a bit expensive for a one time use. It seems that DiskWarrior is not compatible with OS 10.4.6 and/or the iSight iMac? I checked the Alsoft website - v. 3.03 is the latest version available.

Wow! I think that you will either need to wait until your external drive is free to be erased, or to buy another external drive to be able to do everything you want all at once.
Once you have a free drive, divide it into two partitions, including one that is only about 5GB. Install a bare system using your iMac's Install & Restore Disc 1 onto this small partition. Customize your installation by choosing not to install printer drivers, languages, iLife applications, extra fonts or X11. This installation will be a little over 2GB.
When you first visit this system's Desktop, go to Software Update and install only the 10.4.6 Combined Update, any Java updates and possibly QuickTime 7.0.4. Reboot and repair permissions. Remove everything from the Dock but Safari and System Preferences. Drag Disk Utility into the Dock from your Applications/Utilities/ folder.
Launch Safari, go to shirtpocket.com and download and install the cloning utility, SuperDuper! Drag SuperDuper!'s icon from your Utilities folder to the Dock. Register it if you want the added features, or use the unregistered version to make your clones fresh each time.
Next, insert the Disk Warrior disc (any version of Disk Warrior 3.0.3 will do here) and drag DW to your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Drag Disk Warrior's icon in your Utilities folder to the Dock.
Now you need only boot into your small maintenance partition to launch Disk Warrior so you can run it on your iMac and/or the clone that is on the external's larger partition. And of course, you'll clone your iMac to the larger partition on your external drive by booting into the smaller partition and running SuperDuper! from there.
Simple!

Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

with a firewire 400-800 if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
Many Thanks

Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
Yes (if the external iSight works.)
External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
• To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
like one of these:
http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m&emsp; (I use this one.)
http://tinyurl.com/cgll7o
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html
• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TP320LL/A (I use this one.)
• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.
Many Thanks

ISight problem with photobooth, skype, etc

Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem with iSight recently. Whenever I try to use it for Skype or PhotoBooth, the green light turns on but all I see is a black screen. It works with flash based websites on Chrome though. I have the Gmail video plugin installed - could that be the problem? How can I make this work?
Thanks!

It sounds to me as though you have introduced conflicts with your third-party software (Chrome, Gmail video, etc.)
Check every one of their web sites to be sure you have the latest versions that are compatible with your Mac OS X (10.6.7). Also, check that there are no "known issues" for your third-party items.
Also verify that you are using the most current compatible Flash Player:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
If you are still having problems after you have verified all of the above, consider all relevant suggestions from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your problem remains in every user account you test after following the relevant Apple Troubleshooting suggestions, you might want to backup your Mac and then carefully follow the developers' instructions to uninstall +(do not merely drag to trash unless specifically directed to do so)+ your third party browsers and video apps to see if the problem goes away.

External isight camera with imovie on maverick?

Can someone please recommend an external iSight (or other) Camera to use which can record video directly into iMove on Maverick?
When trying to import a video, a drop down window shows the built-in iSight camera, as if options could possibly be available. If so, what might they be?
Thanks for any and all help!

You're welcome, Bill.
Bill Cruise wrote: ... camera ... compatible with iMovie ...
Use built-in iSight camera or a tape-based camera or camcorder: iMovie '11: Record video directly into iMovie.
If you have access to an old tape-based mini-DV camcorder with Firewire connection capability, you can use it. For example, my old Sony DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70 camcorders work great with iMovie, both for import and, when connected via Firewire cable, for recording directly into iMovie. Both give better resolution than my old external Firewire iSights, and the camcorders offer the possibility of manual focus and zoom controls when needed.
As an alternative to recording directly into iMovie, record video and save movie files using QuickTimeX and a camera built into your Apple display or Mac, a DV camera connected via FireWire, and some USB webcams. Then Import the movie files into iMovie for editing.
Bill Cruise wrote: ... Apple iSight camera ... is no longer sold or supported by Apple... I may go ahead and buy one...
My external iSights (I have two) are great webcams, but they are getting old as consumer electronics go. Both of mine still work as well as they did when they were new. However, some previously owned or even NOS (new, old stock) iSights may have been damaged by rough treatment or improper storage.
An honest seller may offer you return or exchange privileges. If not, and if you don't want to spend the money to have your external iSight serviced, consider a new, Mac-compatible USB cam instead.
A new cam will include a current manufacturer's warranty, and a USB cam is not subject to the possible conflicts that can cause difficulties with the old Firewire-connected iSights.
Bill Cruise wrote:...Wonder why this info is so far to find? ...
It should not be. Let us know the specifics, and we will try to guide you to any other info you still need.
Bill Cruise wrote: ... better alternatives...using external cameras, and then importing the movie....works, but seems like quite a bit of extra hassle versus direct input to iMovie.
When your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, the others will also show in your a drop down window that shows the built-in iSight camera.
In fact the best alternative I have found for recording directly into iMovie is to use the built-in iSight camera in my MacBook Pros and my Apple LED Display. The resolution of any of these built-ins is better than the 640x480 of the old external Firewire iSights. The built-ins are also higher resolution than my old Sony camcorders.
As for your "extra hassle" comments, once you try using QuickTimeX and importing into iMovie, I doubt that you will find it a problem unless recording video is your primary use of your Mac. It is very easy to do, and you can use the QuickTime file as a good backup for your original source material that is easy to offload to a different disk for safekeeping.

What web cams are compatible with OS X 10.4.11 for 1.33 GHz 12"PowerPC G4? I want to use it with Skype. Please advise!

I wish to purchase a webcam for use with Skype. I have a 12" PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4.11, 1.33 GHz. What inexpensive webcams are compatible with my laptop? (Mine is the metal case. The model number is: PowerBook 6,4) Please advise.

Also consider Apple's iSight web cam. It connects via Firewire which is faster than USB2, has a built in microphone & is self focusing. Here's an old review http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1383357,00.asp
I have one.
You can possible get a used one for $30-$50 on Craig's List or eBay. Be sure & get one with the laptop mount. The first versions only came with a table mount.

Is PC2-5400 DDR2-667MHZ ram compatible with MACBOOK

I am wondering if PC2-5400 DDR2-667MHZ ram would be compatible with a macbook (intel core duo).
I am in canada and PC2-5300 DDR2-667MHZ are hard to find.
Does anyone knows if this type of ram would work in a MacBook?
They are much cheaper and easy to find and tigerdirect.ca has great deals on it
Please advice

Yes.Both models of RAM are acceptable for use in your MacBook.

PowerBook G3 500 Mhz "Pismo"/ 2.0Ghz BlackBook 2GB OWC RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Strange problem with pismo...

I recently purchased a Pismo Powerbook G3 and when I turn it own without it being plugged in it takes me to a gray screen, and if that wasn't enough, after about five minutes of work it says I need to restart and then won't turn on after I restart by holding down the power button.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

OK, so you still haven't told us how much free space you have on these partitions just so we can eliminate that.
I had a friend with a 60Gb drive in his DA recently that had 1.5Gb left free that was having all sorts of problems until we deleted some files by burning them to a DVD.
Next " Me ejecting it improperly isn't the issue " .If you do eject it improperly then this may be the cause of your problems , pure and simple.
I run a Pismo, Lombard and Wallstreet on OSX and I use five or six USB sticks of various sizes on all three without any problems.
I can drag 2Gb files to and from them all to the biggest 4Gb stick without any of them locking up.
If it was just one USB stick that was causing this problem i would say just reformat it but the fact that they all do it suggests something else in your methodology.
1) Try the second USB port.
2) Reset pram.
3) Check that the USB sticks are all backward compatible with USB1 - they may not be getting enough power to run properly.
4) Try an external USB powered drive to see if this problem is replicated .
5) Reformat one stick and then use it by dragging a few files to it and remove it " properly " just to humour me. .
