Is it possible to use USB webcam + USB mic simultaneously?

I would like to use a USB mic (Blue Snowball USB) and USB webcam (Ligoitch Quickcam) together simultaneously, because I understand the one is good sound and the other is good video for live internet broadcasting of music.
can anyone tell me if this should be possible? I'd hate to buy them and find it doesn't work... THANKS!
I'm using Macbook 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo OSX 10.5.8

No reason why not.

USB adapter for Apple Earphones that will let you use both audio and mic simultaneously for a phone conversation?

I like the Apple Earphones (the iPhone headphone with audio, mic and remote) but I hate to keep plugging it on and off my Macbook Air. So I heard the only way to fix that is to buy a USB headphone so you can switch it on and off through software. Problem is that I like my Apple Earphones and I want to keep using it but now through USB. Is there a USB adaptor that will work with the Earphone, in other words, that will make both headphone and mic work at the same time for a phone conversation?

Sonnet has an TB-capable expresscard adapter.

Possible to use Audio In and Out simultaneously?

Is there any additional adaptor/gadget that I can purchase so that both the Audio In and Out features of the audio jack can be simultaneously?
For example, so that Audio In can be used to record an external source input while the Audio Out is piped to a headphone to monitor the recording?
Thanks!

Air has a headset jack.
You can use a splitter
Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

Make sure you choose the correct inputs on the relevant tracks..
If that doesn't help you I've heard stamp collecting can be fun.

Using 2 webcams

does anyone know whether it's possible to use 2 webcams with JMF at the same time?
My JMF Registry only detects one of them.. This is exactly the same webcams. Windows manages to control them at the same time, but not JMF...
Heeeeeeeeelp please...

You can use,
as you have said that they there same, they will be using the same drivers
and hence you will see only one in the jmf registry

USB Webcam when using Bootcamp to run WindowsXP?

Is it possible to use an external webcam, e.g., Logitech's, and able to use it on the iMac running WindowsXP with Bootcamp?
I'm planning to use it with MSN Messanger 7.5. Thanks. I just wish that Microsoft will come out with a crossplatform Messanger where I can use my iSight (the built in webcam on my iMac) to video chat.
Patrick

Maybe someone here will see this and be able to let you know if an external USB webcam has worked in Windows, in theory it seems that it should.
Meanwhile, aMSN is a MS Messenger replacement that uses your built-in iSight just fine on the iMac;

Is there a way to disable the Facetime camera and use an external USB webcam for browser based webchat?

Is it possible to disable the Facetime camera and use an external webcam as a default? So that when you access browser based applications that require a webcam it doesnt default to the Facetime camera but uses the USB webcam instead?
Cheers.

(1) You don't need to "disable" anything to select among cameras connected to your Mac.
For all cameras you access via browser based applications (cameras connect via Flash browser plugins), control-click on an open video window in your browser page and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera. Specific instructions are here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
If you don't see a choices of cameras in the Flash settings, your Mac is only recognizing one camera. Verify that your external cam is Mac-compatible and properly connected.
Your choice is stored in preferences so the same camera will activate on the next browser page until you change it.
(2) BTW, a current (Feb 2013) discussion of how to select among connected Mac cameras for a few more apps is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/21158673#21158673

How can I capture live video and still image by a DirectX compatible USB webcam using LabView ?

Dear forum members
   I'd like to design a user interface which shows a live video and capture still images for it by a DirectX compatible USB webcam using LabView or NI Vision Toolkit, how can I do this ? and If this is possible How can I reach the webcam DirectX filter properties and set them using LabView ? I would be grateful to anyone Who lead me to the correct solution.
    Sincerely
    Cem DEMiRKIR

Cem,
    With our example programs you can acquire and save an image (IMAQ >> File Input and Output >> Snap and Save to File.vi) from one camera, if you double the VI's to create the image and the image task, you can easily have one program acquire and save for two cameras.
    I may need more information on what you mean by calibration. Do you mean basic camera setup? That can be done in Measurement and Automation Explorer by setting up the options within the IMAQ settings for each camera. Or do you mean more complex calibration for special types of images? The more description of what you mean, the better I will be able to help you get it done. You mentioned zoom and motion parameters, what kind of motion? Our vision drivers only control triggering the camera to acquire, then analyzing, processing and displaying the resulting image.
    If you have more details on exactly what you want to do, that would be great. Let me know if you have more questions, thanks!

How do I use my USB webcam with Yosemite?

Since upgrading to OS 10.10, my Mac Pro no longer recognizes my Gear Head USB webcam. Any suggestions?

If restarting Mac does not fix, use relevant suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
There are also some other suggestions in this discussion topic that have helped some users.

Using usb webcam with facetime

I have a generic USB Webcam 720p connected to a USB port on my Mac Mini (2012 version) running 10.8.2. Tried using webcam on facetime, my HD monitor doesn't have webcam, for the first time. When opening FT the image from webcam displayed in the window, but when FT started connecting window went brown and hung up after a minute or 2. There were no drivers for Mac OS, but listed Mac OS X 10.5 or higher, with plug & play.
Any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I don't have the same Mac and camera as you, so I cannot test this, but it may be worth a try:
Use technique from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 about letting Photo Booth use a Firewire external iSight:
• Connect your Logitech Vision Pro USB webcam and turn it on.
• Quit Safari if it is running.
• Launch iChat.
• Open iChat's Video "Preferences..." and set the camera "Preference" to use your built-in iSight. You need not log in for video chat, but be sure your iSight video preview shows in the video Preferences pane.
• Now, with your built-in camera in use by iSight, launch Safari and test whether your Logitech Vision Pro USB webcam shows in the settings dialog box.
If you still have trouble and have not already tried restarting your Mac, modem, and (if you have one) router, see if that helps.

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.

Possibility to use new Mac mini with an USB-DAC?

Anybody knowing anything about the possibility to use the new Mac mini with an USB-DAC. My reason for the question is that I've heard that USB3 doesn't handle sound. I'm thinking about to buy a mac mini and use it as an HTPC and signalsource together with NAIM DAC-V1.
// Rode orm

What I have heard that there are a few USB2 audio devices that
have had some issues with USB3, but USB3 itself is supposedly
backward compatible to USB2.
I would check with the makers of the DAC to see if there are any
USB3 issues.
