Isight compatability with PC and other web cam

I have just bought a powerbook and isight to use for VC abroad. I tried to conduct a VC with a friend who has a PC and it said that I did not respond. Can you use isight to VC with a PC or is it just apple to apple?
powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Hi nmspickett and smokehouse
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
iChat will work with many cameras not just iSight.
MAc to PC need the PC to be using AIM 5.9 or Trillian whilst running XP. (AOL's Triton does not work with other Apps yet)
The AIM is free and the Trilian cost $25 for the Pro Video capable version.
AIM need setting up with Tuning These instructions work for AIM 5.5 as described in the link and AIM 5.9 but access to the 5.9 properties is via My AIM menu > Options > Properties and not as described in he link.
Both AIM and Trillian need enabling through the XP firewall. Service Pack 2 instructions here AIm is described but just do the same for Trillian.

  • Panda and other web cam viewing

    Bought an Ellipsis 7 to travel with.  How do I get it to display web cams from National Zoo, Atlanta Zoo and San Diego Zoo Panda cams?  What browser and add-ons does the E7 need to display these views?  

        Hi RumbaRue!
    It sounds fun to be able to view these types of web cams! Let's figure this out! Normally, if my tablet is unable to play videos or live cams, I get an error message that provides me with details as to what needs to be downloaded. I've had to download codec applications from the Market. Please check this out and take a look, thanks!

  • Problem with Facetime and my MacBookPro camera

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBookPro and I have a problem with Facetime and my front camera.
    When I have a discussion with an iMac or an other MacBook the image received by the other person becomes fix.
    To unfix it I have to put my finger on my camera and then everything is good until the next time, 4 to 10 seconds later I've got the problem again.
    Perhaps somebody can help me.
    My head on my screen is always good even when the bug appear on my correspondent's screen.
    For information, the 2 mac have the same iOS version (OSX Lion) and Facetime version.

    Hi Dave,
    Edit: Well, I guess I was lost when I posted this. My answer was regarding a problem with OS X, not iOS. I'm going to leave the answer here in case someone else with a Facetime for Mac issue can benefit, because when you're searching for "Facetime AND Login", you could land in any discussion area. -Jerry
    Keychain Access.app is in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    The path will be: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
    Keychain is where all your passwords are stored for those applications that you don't want to have to manually log into all the time.
    It's a handy app to become familiar with, for instance if you want to look up a password or user name from the past.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac

    Hi,  
    Can someone provide me information on Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac distributions.  On the product overview page under Software Requirements, only Windows is mentioned.  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?submit=true&componentID=1343112653906&DocID=PD...
    Please let me know if the headset can work with other distributions as well. 
    Thanks & Regards,
    Keya
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just received W770 and tried it on a PC and it worked. But when I plug the USB receiver in a macbook air (2011 MAC OS 10.6.8), it didn't work. The message I got is that MAC can't recognize the "keyboard" and asked me to press the shift button on the unrecognized keyboard- which I guess meant that the MAC treated the USB dongle as if it were a wireless keyboard of some sort. Anyway, would appreciate it if you could let me know how to make it work on MAC. The previous statement saying that it would work on any Lenovo machine regardless of OS is kinda of unclear - do you mean that it would also work on lenovo running MAC OS (is there any Lenovo running Mac OS?). Thanks.

  • Problem with youtube and other video websites

    I have a problem with youtube and other video websites:
    Everything is up to date (flash, FF, my plug ins..) but i keep getting freezes when the video loads. I can hear sound but i can only see the first frame of the video.

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Hello. It can be a iPhone4 accessories for the one with pictures and other things are transferred wirelessly to a TV? Thank you 

    You need an Apple TV to be able to wirelessly send pictures etc. from iPhone.
    However you can buy an adapter if you want to connect to a TV

    Try downloading them onto the iPad normally. If you're asked to pay for them, you can't.
    The developer needs to create the two versions separately.

    Can't not text pictures with 4s and other texts dont always go thru WHY?

    Need more information...  Is it that you don't know how to add a picture to a text?  You know and have tried but gotten an error message?  Got no message, but the receiver does not get the text?  Are you sending as iMessage or SMS, or MMS?

  • Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Yes, the s4 is compatible with music and photo transfers between your imac.  I don't have experience with the cloud, but it should be the exact same thing. 
    Now, there will be a few differences between how you get the files onto said device.  With the iPhone, you may be able to do it wirelessly, but with the s4 you will have to plug it in. 
    The s4 will not work with iLife or iLife applications either.  However, bigger screen, more customizable ui and experience with samsung phones personally, I would recommend the s4 over the iPhone 5.

  • Partion drive with TM and other data already on it

    hi folks
    I'd like to partion an ext. FW drive with TM and other data (music files) already on it. can this be done w/o erasing the data already on the ext. drive?
    Thanks,

    If I already have, as I mentioned, my iTunes music and Time Machine data on this ext. FW drive, can I place the data in each new partition?
    that's right, the data should be preserved. it will remain on one partition and a new empty partition will be created below it. you can move your Music library to the new partition. DO NOT move your TM backups. they can not be moved using Finder.

  • Homepage verizon yahoo has small size and print but ok with other browsers and other web sites ok

    The home page comes up reduced size with small print.Can not get it to change with minimize-maximize clicking.Works okay with other browsers. All other web pages ok including email.Using windows 7

    The Maximize/Restore button only changes the size of the Firefox window, not that of content on web pages.
    You may have accidentally zoomed out on that site, or the site may simply have smaller text than others.

  • Isight compatibility with OSX 10.8.2?

    I have purchased a stand alone isight camera to go with my 2013 mac mini; I've got the 6-9 pin firewire cable and have got the camera to power on and be recognised by the computer (see below), but it simply isn't functioning properly. Images are refreshed every 5 minutes or so? Any suggestions of a solution?
    Cheers

    First thing: Possible Hardware or Software Conflicts with iSight. 
    Chaining external iSight with other Firewire devices on the same Firewire ports often causes function problems.  Disconnect all other Firewire devices and restart your Mac while testing your iSight with your mini.  (I think your mini has only one FW bus.  If that is correct, you may need to disconnect all other FW devices every time you want to use use an external iSight with your mini.)
    If your trouble continues when no other FW device are connected, consider these other possibilities:
    (1) If the old external iSight you have still works, it should work with the new Mac mini.  You can test an external iSight using the suggestions in this link , including Apple's troubleshooting suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    Test more than one Apple camera-enabled app in more than one user account.  However, don't use the "Guest" account for testing.  If your Mac only has one account, create a new user account for testing.
    (2) Although unlikely, it is possible that your Firewire 400-800 cable is not working properly. You can check cable function by trying the cable with a different FW400 device.
    If you don't have another FW400 device, get at least one more connector to test for possible connection problems.  Any working one of something like those listed here should work to connect your FW400 external iSight:
    • This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:
        http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA352ZM/A/ (I use this one.)
    • Some users report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
         http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
    • To use your iSight's FW400 6pin-6pin cable, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter like one of these:
      http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m  (I successfully use this one, too.)
    (3) Apple discontinued external iSight several years ago.
    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 iSights may have been damaged by rough treatment or improper storage.
    The only way to know whether any presently available external iSight works properly is to test it using suggestions similar to those I offered above before you buy.  If you did not test the external iSight before you bought and now find it will not work properly with your system, perhaps a trusted seller will give you return or exchange privileges.
    Otherwise, if you don't want to spend the money to have your external iSight serviced, consider a new, Mac-compatible USB cam that offers a current manufacturer's warranty instead of any external iSight.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at   http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    (4) If you want to look for more ideas, you can search iSight Discussions.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread/3983993 is a good place to start.
    (BTW, current FaceTime software versions work with external iSight's mic.)
    (5) If you need other suggestions after doing your own searches, we will try to offer more specifics based on the details you supply in your reply here.
