If you mean you are looking for some simple setting for sharing your built-in iSight, the question has been asked before. However, you are correct that it is not a common one. Neither does it have a simple answer.
There is so such preference. You can verify this for yourself by checking
your Macs'  > System Preferences... > Sharing.
However, there are other, more complex techniques you may want to consider.

I can suggest two apps that call let you see the view from your MBP's isight cam on your G5's display:
(1) iChat: http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/ichat.html
You can use a local network Bonjour connection between your Macs: http://www.apple.com/support/bonjour/
Your 10.6.4 MBP is iChat video-ready. If your local network and G5 also meet the iChat requirements for Tiger or Leopard:
  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1771 - or -
  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2020
you could video chat between your MBP and your G5.
To video with other AIM client users outside your local network, your system and internet connection need to meet those requirements and you need a separate iChat account name for each of your connected Macs. Then, for example, you could have a three-way video with an iChat/AIM friend where two of the three video connections would come from your two Macs.
I do not use Skype, but, as I understand it, Skype does not yet offer more than one-to-one video. If my understanding is correct, Skype could not be substituted for iChat in this use.
(2) *_Apple Remote Desktop_*: http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
Provided your G5 meets ARD System Requirements, you could install ARD on your G5, enable remote management in your MPB's System > Sharing preferences, and use your G5's ARD to control any iSight applications running on your MBP.
Has anyone tried this & achieved it if so how did you do it
(a) I often use the iChat method when testing multi-party video connection capabilities with other users. The "how" is exactly as described in (1) above. For more details on how to operate iChat after you have verified your system requirements, open the iChat link (the link is repeated below for clarity:)
  http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/ichat.html
Page down to the "iChat Basics window there and click the "Watch now" link there.
For more iChat tips, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2515
(b) I do not own ARD, so I have not personally tested the method described in (2) above.
(c) Using Leopard and Snow Leopard Screen Sharing via your Bonjour connection might also allow certain limited possibilities, provided that your G5 is running Leopard.
(d) Depending on how willing you are to try third-party alternatives, you might be able to do what you want with a compatible VNC client app such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
I have never tested this possibility on my system.
Thanx

  • Can I use separate iSight camera with MacBook Pro?

    That's my question. I have an iSight and like the idea that it is moveable and I can show people my apartment! If I buy a new MacBook Pro (which I will) can I choose to use the external iSight? Can I choose either one if the external one is connected? etc..
    thanks.

    I can confirm that an external camera can be plugged into a MacBook Pro and selected in the Video section of ther iChat Preferences.

  • Isight cam in Macbook pro

    all of the sudden my isight cam (built in) looks like it has a transparent "carpet" type structure in front of it, and image quality is awful and color rendering is yellow (even in daylight). I've been trying to find a setup utility to see if there's a setup related issue, but have not been able to find anything. Anyone familiar with this?

    Hello, Maris.
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No separate "Setup" is required for your Mac's iSight. All installation and setup was accomplished when your Mac OS X software was installed.
    Try Apple's relevant suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.

  • Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change.

    Just migrated using time machine from MacBook Pro to older Macbook. iPhoto 9.4.3 won't open. Tried reinstall - no change. (Mac OS X 10.7.5)

    Did you migrate the app from Time Machine? Reinstall it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    The reference to NovaMedia is that there is the remanant of an older app in there somewhere that won't run on 10.7
    Regards

  • IPhoto and photos wanished from MacBook Pro with OSX10.9

    iPhoto and photos wanished from MacBook Pro. Apple just offer to buy iPhoto.
    The laptop was baught in 2010 with OS X ~10.6. Now it has OS X 10.9. I do not know how to recover the application and files.
    Thanks for your help

    If iPhoto came pre installed then go to the App Storel, sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the MBP or register it.  Go to the Purchases section and you should be able to download it again at no charge.

  • How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

    How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

    What sort of videos are they, and what app do you want to sync them to ? If they were taken with your camera and they are in a format supported by the iPad, then you could sync them to the Photos app - with the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync photos and videos (there is an 'include videos' tickbox on that tab) to the Photos app.
    Or you can sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) you can then use Movies tab (instead of the Photos tab) to sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your library but they don't sync over because they aren't in a supported format then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing those versions.

  • Lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??

    lost my application dvd that came with macbook pro, early 2011. any alternatives to get the applications in that??

    I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/how-can-i-forma t-external-drive-in-exfat-not-in/0f6bf19a-19d6-4470-ae05-53ddf26bb476?msgId=1860 eae3-3488-4eea-8326-f87b89d9851b
    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • Transfer video from macbook pro to iPhone iOS 8

    how to transfer video from macbook pro to iphone 5S IOS 8, anyone?

    Hi hjmdsalleh,
    You typically use iTunes to sync your content to your iPhone.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    If you are having problems syncing some videos, they may not be in the correct format.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    Take care,
