Is it possible to use an USB Logitech cam on macbook?

I have installed the CD , but it didnt work. Please help.

Hello driver49
Just as some applications software can access your iSight's video capability, you must be using some applications software to operate external QuickCam® Pro 4000. That application is the one you are "supposed to start".
I was already connected to a web-based cam service that I was trying to cam-cast to. What else does it need.
Were you using Safari or some other browser when you were trying to cam-cast to a web-based cam service? If so, that may be the software you are "supposed to start".
If you are trying to use Safari or some other browser with your webcam for live video cam-casting, you may need to configure your Flash plugin settings. Navigate to the website you want to use. If you do not immediately see an "Adobe Flash Player Settings" dialog box, put your mouse pointer over the video window that is playing and control-click. This should open the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" dialog box.
Adjust the "Settings" in the Flash dialog box as follows:
• Click on the webcam icon.
• Select the USB Camera setting.
 (Firewire cam users would set the webcam camera setting
 to "IIDC Firewire Video".)
• You can then click on the microphone icon to set your "Microphone," "Record Volume," and "Reduce Echo" settings.
• You should also click the privacy icon and verify that the "Allow" button is selected. If "Deny" is selected, you will not be able to send or recored video or audio.
• Close the dialog box and see if your camera works now.
If the above does not solve your problem, you will need help from the website or from Logitech. Many live video sites have unique requirements, so try that first. The FAQs or Help links at the site should give you the best answers for your compatibility, configuration, and operating questions concerning their particular operations.
If the web site's Help doesn't get success for you, try contacting Logitech Help or Support to see whether they may have the answers you need.
If nothing else works, consider one of the new UVC webcams that work with Mac OS X 10.4.10 without additional software.
If I misunderstood what you are trying to do, please include what software you are using and as many particulars as possible about what you are trying to do when you post back. You may want to start a new topic of your own. Your particular problem deserves the individual attention it will get in your own thread. Moreover, there will be less chance of confusing solutions for your specific problem with the responses we have offered to the OP's (rudy@'s) very broad problem statement here.

  • How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

    How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro?  I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

    You can try it, but probably not. 
    This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
    If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion).  You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
    If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

  • Is it possible to use a USB hub on a new MacBook Pro with Maverickss?

    I have used a powered Q-Store USB2 hub on first my old trust MacBook with the 13 inch screen running System X.6.8 for years; then I switched it over to my new 13 In. MacBook Pro (non retina) with Mavericks X.9.2 and it still works great. It is powered and seems to run a full load including USB hard drives, camera when wanted, cooling pad with fan, printer/scanner/copier combo, charging a MP3 player or Galaxy S4, apple mouse and keyboard, all with no trouble and no drop outs. I let an old Firewire 400 or 800 hard disk stay with my old Macintosh for now as it mirrors it, but sometimes hook it up with no problem except it gets hot.
    I have a new USB3  WD Passport 3 hard drive and a 32 gb USB 3 memory stick. I wanted to put these on a USB3 hub and use one of the ports for the faster items. I can run either my WD My Passport 3 Gb drive that I use to mirror my internal drive as long as it is alone. I can also plug a 32 gb A Data memory stick in fine alone except things get a bit snug, and there's no more room on the USB 2 hub for the memory stick. If I do not use a hub for the one port I have to either use the Hard Drive or the memory stick, not both. I was using the memory stick to port files back and forth between my old and new computers at least for a while. The USB 3 peripherals work reliably when plugged in alone, but the moment a hub gets in the picture even if only one item is plugged into it, things drop in and out. It does not matter if it is the powered USB 3 hub or the non-powered Anker USB 3 4 port hub. The USB 2 items simply work but the USB 3 ones only work alone. I have looked at the power specifications. It seems like one hard drive uses all of the power the hub can put out.
    It looks like the USB 3 is rather limited on Macintosh computers is all I can conclude. There may be extra speed, but what good is it if you can only run one peripheral at a time? It seems like even a hub stresses it unless it is a hub and a memory stick or two. I even changed to system settings to keep my hard drives from going to sleep, but still it drops out randomly if hooked to a hub and runs perfectly when plugged in directly. I had hoped to use it for an emergency start up disk if needed, though I must say the rather incredible StoreEdge Micro SDX card works great for that purpose and seems to belong.
    That old USB 2 hub, even with a smaller one plugged in with 2 portable hard drives still works flawlessly on the other port and never drops out.
    I have not tested the Firewire 800 port long enough to decide, except it gets hot if it reads very long.. The old Firewire 800 / USB 2 hard disk has more than one port on it unlike so many today. I had to use a Firewire 800 to 400 cable for my old computer. Anyway it works in either computer and stays mounted even when asleep.
    Is it possible to use a USB 3 hub with more than one peripheral on a 2012-2013 13 inch MacBook Pro computer with Mavericks? If so which one works? It cannot be good for hard disks to randomly disconnect and reconnect without being dragged to the trash.

    no you can't - you have to upgrade it to 16GB yourself.
    you can get your RAM from newegg.com, macsales.com.
    the RAM you need is 16GB (8GBX2) DDR3 1600MHz DDR3.
    upgrading the RAM yourself will not void your warranty.
    you need a #00 Phillips Screwdriver - 10 screws at the bottom - 7 long ones and 3 short ones - just remember where they go when you put the screws back in.

  • Is it possible to use a USB aircard on the 11" MacBook?

    Is it possible to use a USB aircard on the 11" MacBook Air?

    No, the superdrive works only with Mac that don't have an optical superdrive built in in the first place.
    However, if you have a newer Mac that could support the SuperDrive or another computer (Mac or PC) which has an optical drive, you could use this: DVD or CD sharing: Using Remote Disc - Apple Support

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

  • How can I use a USB keyboard with my Macbook Pro?

    My MBP will not recognize my brand new USB keyboard.
    I have tried the keyboard on two other Macbook Air's and it works perfectly.
    My MBP:
    OS X Yosemite
    10.10.1
    Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
    2.4 GHz Core i5

    Thoughts on how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Brenden,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I've gone your suggestions in detail and the keyboard is still not working.
    From what I can tell this is a known issue with Yosemite.

    Someone at Apple must be able to figure this one out.

  • Upgrading iMac to Leopard using Leopard disk that came with Macbook Air

    I recently go a Macbook Air. I would like to use the Leopard install disks that came with the Air to upgrade my Intel iMac. When I try to install using the Air install disks I get an error saying that the upgrade is not possible.
    Not sure if its not possible because of certain configuration restrictions or maybe I'm not supposed to upgrading because of copywrite restrictions.
    Thanks,
    Joel Simkhai

    No problem Rodney. I an understand your frustration with the issue.
    Hopefully this reminds you that education is probably the best way to combat piracy. The second best way, in my opinion, is to give consumers one of the options what they want - the ability to download software, movies, music, etc without cumbersome restrictions. Probably doesn't make sense for most people to download a whole operating system-but the day is approaching. Personally, I think the future of installed software that needs to be manually upgraded are numbered. Instead we'll probably see the operating system and all needed software customized for the user hosted on centralized (hopefully encrypted, secure, backup-ed and private) servers.

  • How can I use a USB 3.0 HDD with PowerBook G4 12" 1 Ghz OS 10.4.11?

    Is it possible to use a USB 3.0 HDD with PowerBook G4 12" 1 Ghz OS 10.4.11? I'm using a HDD with a USB 3.0 tyo 2.0 cable that came with the drive, but it has proven to be extremely unreliable...cloned my system and backed numerous files to 3 partitions on the 1 TB drive, now I can no longer access the drive at all. None off my drive utilities will even show the volumes (TechToolPro, Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, or DataRx). If I plug it into a Windows machine running Windows 7, the drive appears, and is functioning perfectly. I'd just really like to use it with my PB G4, if at all possible...thanks for the help folks...StudioBill

    You need drivers and adaptors which I doubt will work with a G4 Powerbook.

  • No luck importing from SonyHandycam DCR-DVD650?  I am using USB import to my MacBook that is running OSX 10.6.8. The MacBook is not recognizing the camera.  Any ideas what the issue could be?

    I am not having any success in importing my videos from Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 650 to my mac book.  I am using the USB connection.  The macbook is not recognizing the camera.  The macbook is running OSX 10.6.8.  Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2361 There's a recommendation that when using this camera to record in the 'Standard' format instead of VR format. So if you know what the setting was you used to record the disk that's a starting point.
    According to this website the camera should be compatible with iMovie '11
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    So here's some steps to take to get the Mac to recognize your camera.
    1. Try it more than a few times, sometimes it can take 2-4 attempts to get iMovie to recognize a camera for the first time.
    2. Always get the power adapter for your camera out of the bag. Hook it to the wall outlet, then plug your camera into that. Don't run it off the battery.
    3. With the camera plugged into the wall, in DV playback mode. Hit play and just let it play video out continuously, then reboot the Mac. As soon as you see the desktop, launch iMovie. Go to File Menu > Import from Camera and see if the Capture window opens with your video playing through.
    4. Make sure iPhoto doesn't try to launch itself automatically when it detects your camera has been connected to the Mac. Sometimes it tries to steal the videos off of a camera and 'blocks' iMovie from seeing the camera when it's attached. So make sure iPhoto hasn't interecepted your camera and is not running at all when you launch iMovie
    No guarantees, but some things to try
