ISight Camera working with Skype but not iChat/Photobooth

Hi there,
may you can help?!
My external FW-iSight is working on Skype and facetime - not on iChat or Photobooth.
When I disconnect my new Apogee Ensemble the iSight is working.
Isn't it possible to use more than one FireWire-port???
Power-problem?
How can I fix it without buying a new CinemaDisplay?
Thanks for help

Welcome to Discussions, nils
(1) External iSight can be difficult to use with other Firewire devices or certain AV software.
More info: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage6.html
If you must use iSight with the hardware or software that is causing your conflict, perhaps adding a separate Firewire card for your external iSight will help you.
(2) Searching Discussions shows that other users have also encountered problems with Apogee Ensemble:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9877690
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=605949
My web search for "Apogee Ensemble known issues Mac OS X" returned several other items.
Although none of the posts that I saw specifically addressed your external iSight issue, something in one of them may give you ideas if your problem is not otherwise resolved.
(3) If you have not already done so, check Apogee's Ensemble FAQs for relevant info:
http://tinyurl.com/2aetb5s
For instance, if you have updated Ensemble's Firmware, the first FAQ might be of interest.
(4) If all else fails, consider email support directly from Apogee:

Airport Express works with Skype but not with internet

Hi,
I recently bought some new Airport Express' for my company. However, when plugging it in we seemingly get full access, but only Skype seems to work. If I do a search on the internet it can sometimes look like it find the address after a long while, but don't manage to open the page. E.g. writing www.google.com in the search field doesn't give access to that page.
I brought them home to check if the Airports worked there, and they did. No problem. But at the office the Airports don't. If I connect the same plug which is connected to the Airport into the MAC / PC, then I have full connection to the internet.
What to do?

After Grant pointed out the DNS thing, I started to check that part, and I noticed something funny. I called Apple Support regarding the problem, and now it's solved
Here is my experience:
1. My Airports worked fine when home, but not at work.
2. Checking the LAN DNS addresses I received three addresses. 2 in the 158.xx... range and one in the 129.xxx... range.
3. The Airport Extreme and Airport Express does only support two DNS addresses, and since the two 158.xx... DNS addresses came first in that range the 129.xxx... was left out.
4. I manually changed one of the 158.xx... addresses to the 129.xxx... address I got on my MAC / PC when I connected directly to the wall and did a "ipconfig /all" on the PC. The three same addresses is listed under network - airport on the MAC.
5. Now suddenly it all worked. This due to that the two 158.xx... addresses seamed to be internal addresses, and the 129.xxx... address was from outside delivered from our operator.
Summarized:
When you receive 3 DNS addresses you MAC and PC can handle it fine, but your Airport not. Find all your DNS addresses and write them down. Enter Airport Admin Utility and do a manual setup. Change one of the two equal address to the third address. Most probably listed as the last DNS address when you are connected directly and type e.g. "ipconfig /all" on your PC or you enter the network settings.
Best regards,
Bouw

Built-in Camera (iSight?) works on Skype but not Photo Booth

I have OSX 10.5.8. In the past, I was able to use PhotoBooth, but now when I open it, all options to take a photo are grayed out. The screen, where, I believe, previously I'd seen whatever was in the built-in camera's lens (generally whatever I put in front of the screen to photograph), I now see all black with a white camera icon crossed out. Skype works fine though. When I try to load iChat, it crashes unexpectedly. For clarification, I'm using the built-in cam and do not have external camera hooked up to it. I don't really care about iChat, which I never use, and am very, very glad that Skype, which I do use, is working. However, I would very much like to get PhotoBooth working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance to any kind soul who responds. I will be very grateful to resolve this.

(1) If restarting Mac does not resolve your problem,
(2) backup your Mac or, at least, its important files.
Then use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then download and install the 10.5.8 Combo Update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems.
(3) If the problem persists, reinstall OS X from your Leopard disk. Then repair permissions, apply the Combo Update, and repair permissions again.
One of the above should get Photo Booth working again.

Nikon D4s/WT-5: controlling camera works with iPad but not with iPhone 5s

The iPad is too big to use in the planned project, the iPhone is small enough.
The iPad and iPhone both connect to the ad hoc net created by the D4s/WT-5.
With iPad I can view and control the camera using Safari browser, which shows the control window.
With iPhone I get the same window, but it is inactive, the buttons are dead, no live view either.
The Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility does not support then D4s.
Advice ??

See if any of the information contained in this support document helps you check to make sure it is configured correctly. Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity

Will isight cam work on Skype?

Hi all..
I am totally out of my depth here as i normally only use my Mac for music. My question is will an isight cam work with Skype, and what else do i need to set up a chat.
I have a ibook G4 with a 400 firewire port, 1 Ghz of memory, and would dearly love to chat to my niece.
Sorry for asking total beginner questions but we all start somewhere. Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Yes. But, apparently, from reviewing the other comments posted, you do not want to upgrade to 10.5 for now. In Skype, open preferences and select iSight for audio and video. Sometimes there is reverb if the volume is too high using iSight audio - it is best to use headphones with microphone rather than iSight for the microphone (it works, but, best to have some distance from the computer speakers).

Will old iSight camera work with new Mac mini?

will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini? If so what adapters will I need?

Matthewlopez wrote: will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini?...
Yes (if the old external iSight works.)
Apple's long ago discontinued Firewire External iSights were great webcams, but they are old (as consumer electronics go) and some may have had pretty rough treatment. Even NOS (new old stock) items may have been damaged in storage or handling.
If you have access to an external iSight, you can test it using the suggestions from this page: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html. To reduce the possibility of conflicts for old Firewire iSights, I suggest you disconnect all other Firewire peripherals until you get your external iSight working with your mini. Then connect other needed items one at a time and test each to determine whether you can use any without conflict.
If you are considering buying an external iSight now, a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice. Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
If you want more examples of external iSight and newer minis, take a look at some of the results of this search for your question.
Matthewlopez wrote: ... If so what adapters will I need?
You will need a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter. This adapter offers only a Firewire 800 connection.
The Firewire connection on old external iSights is a Firewire 400 connector. Therefore, you need some way to connect to the FW800 connector on your adapter:
• 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.)

• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:

• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:

Ichat works with wireless, but not ethernet

Just moved into new office and bought new iMac. I can get internet with ethernet or wireless, but iChat works only over wireless. This is true with my intel Macbook as well. Is this a port or firewall problem, and if so, why would wireless work, but not ethernet?

Who is supplying the wireless internet connection?
Who is supplying the wired internet connection? If
it's two different entities, the IT Secret Police may
be blocking ports on the wired side.
TimeWarner comes in from the outside, but a private contractor is involved in the setup of the wireless which is connected to the TW modem. But if the wireless goes into the TW cable, why does it work as wireless, but not directly plugged in? It is as if converting the signal to wireless cures the problem.

Mic works with SoundRecorder, but Not Skype

I've used Skype for years. Today, I can't get the microphone to work with Skype 7.4.0.102.
I can record using my headset mic with MS's SoundRecorder, but no sound seems to be detected with Skype. I tried restarting, but that didn't help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I made sure I had the latest Realtek HD Audio driver from my computer maker. I used the Realtek HD Audio interface to set the mic gain to +20 db and turned off audio effects. I also adjusted Skype’s audio settings, but Skype 7.5 still required me to SHOUT to be heard. (I’ve used Skype for 7+ years, so I’m used to making sure my mic is setup correctly before making a call.)
Thanks to a private Skype Community message from Capreolus, I was able to download the full-version of Skype v6 point 21.
I can now use Skype with a normal speaking voice. (Hurray!)
Of course, I’ve had to disable automatic Skype updates and say “No” to updates for the near future.
It’s too bad the tech people at Skype don’t seem to be able to duplicate the problem. My computer’s only 2 years old, so recent software it should work fine.

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.
Jim

Will the TB camera work with SKYPE or just FaceTime?

While connected to closed MacBook Pro the camera built into the TB works with FaceTime. How can I get it to work with SKYPE? I have SKYPE installed on the MacBook and it works with the camera built into the MacBook.

From Skype, go to Preferences->Audio/Video. You should be able to select the camera there.

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,
eidnolb

When I click on pictures in eBay or Facebook. It will not show the pictures....Will work with IE but not FF

When I click on pictures on eBay and Facebook...it will not show pictures/enlargements...just blanks....will work with IE. NOT ff

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
