Logitech pro 9000 webcam - irks only partially with my mini

hi
bought this cam a few month ago cause the sales guy told me it works with mac too.
when connecting to my mini and using skype the camera itself works fine and is recognized as a logitech cam. however, the build in mic is shown as "unkown usb device" sometimes it works, sometimes it does not in which case restaring the computer helps or sometimes un and replugging the usb cable helps. did anyone experienced similar problems and has a fix? reluctant to buy another cam.
thanks in advance for any advice.
ps
updating from 10.6 to 10.7 did not change the problem

  • FME2 - No Audio With Logitech Pro 9000 webcam

    I have tried everyway imaginable to get Flash Media Encoder 2
    to turn on the Logitech Pro 9000 webcam microphone using an Acer
    2423 laptop with Windows XP Home.
    1. FME2 does indeed recognize the Logitech 9000 camera and
    microphone as they both show up in the FME setting window.
    2. But the preview window will not show any video or
    broadcast video, unless the microphone setting is changed to the
    internal Acer laptop microphone. (The internal microphone, however
    does not function even though selected.
    3. When FME 2 opens it seems to crash the Logitech Pro 9000
    microphone connection, as verified when going to the Logitech
    Quickcam settings panel, it shows the microphone not working.
    4. To reset the Logitech Pro microphone the computer must be
    rebooted.
    5. The only way I've found to work around this is to
    broadcast ( on justin.tv) without audio after setting the FME
    settings to the internal Acer microphone. (To get the Logitech mic
    to work on another encoder, for instance to use Justin.tv's ON2
    encoder I have to reboot the computer for the Logitech mic to
    reset.)
    6. The Logitech mic does work with justin.tv's encoders and
    with ustream.tv encoders.

  • Canon Pro 9000 good printer but garbage with Mac

    I have a canon 9000 pro printer, the interface for this printer with mac is just garbage.  No nice gui, I have to connect to http://127.0.0.1:631/.  Is there a way of setting the printer settings from the file/print options from the applications ?
    It is looking like I will have to keep a windows machine for printing photos etc where I want to easily change the printer settings.  Is there a way around this??
    If not what is a good A3 photo printer similar in resolution and quality to the canon that actually allows the user to use the printers full fucntionality from connected to a mac??

  • Yoga 3 pro : problem connecting to HD TV with micro/mini HDMI to HDMI

    I purchased a YOGA 3 PRO (512GB) and couldn't be happier with how light and slim this jewel is. The CPU works fast and overall it's a gret UltraBook.
    BUT
    I just can't connect my Yoga 3 Pro to my TV. I purchased this Ultra Book at BEST BUY (this model is apparently an "exclusive" of Best Buy), and since I knew i need to connect it to an external monitor to do real work on photoshop, I also purchased an INSIGNIA micro-HDMI to HDMI cable.
    As shown below, my 32" HD TV (one of the latest models from LG / ref. 32LB5800) is recognized by Windows 8.1 and the INTEL HD Graphics 5300 Display driver (which i updated to the latest version 10.18.10.3960), but unfortunately the TV says "NO SIGNAL".
    Link to image
    I've tried to connect the Insighnia mini-HDMI to HDMI cable in all 3 HDMI inputs on my TV, but same pathetic result. The first input is HDMI ARC, the second one is regular HDMI and the third one is for mobile devices (HDMI MHL), but all 3 returned the same "NO SIGNAL".
    So I figured maybe it was the TV. Thus i plugged my Yoga 3 Pro to a Pioneer Plasma TV that was about 3-4 years old, straight to one of HDMI inputs and same thing, no image. However, Windows 8.1 found the TV and even suggests the ideal resolution.
    In both cases the TV model was found by Windows 8.1 and shown under the "Screen Resolution" menu. I selected "Extend these displays" to use the TV as a main monitor, but of course this doesn't help the case.
    So i started digging this forum and read a lot of coomplaints about the previous version of the YOGA PRO and that the micro-HDMI plug was poorly designed and the cable connector needed to be "trimmed" a little by 1mm or so to allow it plug fully into the port. So i tried that too, and even though i succesfully removed 1mm of rubber around my Insignia cable connector, it didn't help whatsoever since apparently, the new YOGA 3 PRO doesn't have this issue any longer, its design solved indeed that weakness of its predecessor.
    So I'm asking: what the hell is the problem then? it's driving me crazy. I've literrally spent the past 6 hours trying to figure it out, but without any success. This forum has ZERO post about a problem of connection of a YOGA 3 PRO to an HDTV. I know it's a very recent model, but still, I can't believe to be the only one experiencing this issue.
    If I don't find a solution quickly I'm afraid I'll have no other choice but to return it. It's unbelievable that both the latest iterations of the LENOVO YOGA PRO are having issues (likely different) connecting to an HD TV using the mini/micor HDMI port.
    Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but LENOVO better get their act together and fix this stat!
    UPDATE: i also noticed that when the cable is plugged into the micro-HDMI port, there's no more sound on the ultrabook. I played a video while the cable was plugged in and NO SOUND. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I would assume connecting the Yoga 3 Pro with the cable into the TV makes it believe that the sound shall be directed towards the TV now, hence the disabled sound on the Ultrabook, even though on the receiving side, the TV still doesn't get any signal from that cable, neither video nor audio.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    well it turned out the culprit was the INSIGNIA Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable sold by Best Buy. I tried another cable brand and now it's working just fine! Go figure...

  • Can u use a USB webcam on an iMac with built-in isight for Yahoo Messenge?

    Hi...I hope someone can shed some light on this.
    I have an intel core duo iMac 20 with built-in isight.
    I use Yahoo Messenger (the new version) and have no problems getting my isight to work with it.
    For most circumstances, the built-in isight is fine... but sometimes having a camera with a zoom feature and the ability to pan further up or down would be most beneficial.
    I also own a usb Logitech (pro-4000) webcam (the last series for which they have Mac support) and have installed the latest Mac drivers for it. I can get the Logitec to run its built-in applications, but when I try to select a webcam to use for Yahoo (in the yahoo preferences webcam section), the only selection available to me is the built-in isight.
    Is there any way to get the option to choose between the Logitech and the isight?
    I tried macam drivers, but that just gave me an application that allowed me to record video or snap pics from my Quickcam, Yahoo Messenger still does not recognize it as a source.

  • Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation

    The Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation.
    Opening the dictation system preference panel makes the system preferences crash...
    The mic of that camera is the only mic I have.
    I own a Mac Pro and an old Cinema Display which has no built-in cam/mic.
    Anyone having the same issue?
    I hope this is gonna be fixed with 10.8.1.

    Hello, thank you for responding.
    Unplug and plug in back the camera does not solve this problem. I tried that before.
    But what worked was to start photo booth. Don't really know why.
    So after every restart of the mac I have to start photo booth and dictation with the QuickCam is working. ^^

  • Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000

    Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000
    This is a great cam, and now supported through the use of the UVC standard, but the most FPS I get out of it is around 5 frames per second....It's capable of up to 30 though.
    I tried recording a video through the quicktime player in high definition. It defaulted to 1600x1200, and I still only 5fps. So my guess is that iChat is using the highest resolution setting and scaling it down to 320x240.
    Any ideas?

    I just bought this camera from Best Buy for my mother for Christmas.
    I tried it out on my PM G5 (which already has an iSight plugged in) and I was BLOWN AWAY by the picture quality as my wife and I tested out the iChat AV video chat features with this and my MacBook's built in iSight.
    So next I tried it out on my iBook 900mhz G3. Making sure that I was up to 10.4.11, I plugged it in andI thought everything was good.... at first. I got a picture but it was much smaller and surrounded by a black border. When I initiated a video chat that's where I saw a problem with the webcam connected to a G3 iBook. Whenever there was any motion on the cam we got a lot of pink horizontal distortion bars on screen. After pondering it I firmly believe it has to do with the G3 processor. When I hook it up to my mother's G4 eMac, I will let you guys know if that fixed it. Granted if you think about it, back when iChat AV first came out, in 2003 you could hook up a digital camcorder to a G4 but not a G3 and use that as your web cam.
    But to all those out there that maybe are graphics pros with Power Mac G5's or Mac Pro's and need a web cam, I have to recommend this camera! My wife and I are seriously thinking about putting our iSight up on eBay and getting the going rate of $200 for it and replacing it with one of these Pro 9000's. Not a bad investment in 2003 when I bought it though huh?!

  • Installation of Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 on iBook G4 (MAC OS X 10.3.9)

    Hi iBook friends,
    I am writing from Munich, Germany. I just got my first webcam and I am a bit lost...
    I got the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and I have no idea how to install it...
    Can somebody give me a hand?
    Thank you very much!

    Hi, this is a relatively good webcam but on a Mac, some of the features will not function without software. First of all, the software for this cam is written for PC only, but the camera will operate pretty well without it.
    You will need to upgrade to OS X 10.4.9 or higher, or download and install "ichatUSBCam" at this link... http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12294
    10.4.9 and 10.4.10 will recognize the cam natively.
    All the cool features like snapshots, auto-focus, face tracking, etc... will not be available without the PC only software. I contacted Logitech about the auto-focus not working and they told me that the Pro 9000 has internal hardware that requires software control.
    I have found the focus to not be a problem as almost everything is in focus anyway.
    This cam is very sharp, very high resolution and auto-exposure and color balance seem to work great.
    Hope this helps,
    Pete

  • Logitech Pro 4000 not working with new Imac 24"

    Just migrated from a G4 to the new Imac 24"
    Cannot get the Logitech Pro 4000 to work with new mac.
    Contacted Logitech and they said
    "please note that the QuickCam Pro 4000 currently only supports up to Mac OS X 10.2.6"
    However,the cam DID work ,even under 10.4.8 with the old G4...
    Any ideas people..
    Thanks!

    Your nwe iMac is Intel based, which is why the old driver failed/ You could try the driver from IOXperts. They do not mention Intel support, but they do list your camera, and have a free trial.

  • Managing Color with LR and the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver

    I would like help understanding how to manage color in LIghtroom with the Canon Pro 9000 10.1.2.0 printer driver. When I ask LR to manage color in the Printing Module Color Management Profile, it warns me to turn off the printer managing color. But I cannot find where to do this in the driver.
    The Color Options menu in the driver gives an additional choice for "Color Mode", but there are no choices here except "Standard", "Linear" or "Tone". The only Canon documentation I can find shows a choice to turn off printer management here, but this driver doesn't give me that choice.
    If I look in the driver's "Color Matching", I see only two choices: ColorSync or Vendor Matching. ColorSync brings up Canon profiles like "Pro9000 Fine Art Photo Rag", but selecting one of these gives a warning of unexpected results. This pushes me back to Vendor Matching. But is this turning off the printer driver and leaving it to Lightroom?
    Right now, I am getting the best results from choosing "Managed by Printer" in LR's Color Management Profile, and setting "Color Matching" in the Canon driver to "Vendor Matching". If I instead choose one of the Canon profiles in LR's Color Management Profile (and it tells me to turn off the printer managing, which I cannot do), then my prints have a slightly bluer color cast.
    Is there a way to turn off the printer managing color in this driver and turn this over to LR, or am I getting the best results possible with the printer managing color anyway?
    I am using a 2.4 GHz Intel iMac with OS 10.5.4, 2 gigs SDRAM, standard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro video card. I downloaded the Canon printer driver from their website, so I assume this is the latest. there is another driver available at their website, but for a lower bit depth. Should I abandon the 10.1.2.0 for this other one? I work with Nikon D300 NEFs, and I assumed the higher bit depth printer driver will work better with these images.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Dear DYP: Unfortunately, those choices are not available in the 10.1.2.0 Canon Printer driver. There are only 2 radio buttons, ColorSync and Vendor Matching. ColorSync then provides a drop-down menu, with no choice for turning off the printer driver.
    But I think I found the answer. I found a deeply buried FAQ on the Canon site (no direct URL; sorry!) Here it says:
    "Issue: How do I disable the printer driver color correction when using the CUPS driver in Mac OS X 10.5.x?
    Solution: Change color management options for printing (Mac OS X 10.5.x)
    Change color management options for printing
    Open the document you wish to print.
    Click 'File' and then click 'Print.'
    Note: If the Print window contains only two pop-up menus, click the triangle beside the Printer pop-up menu for expanded options.
    Select 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu.
    Select 'ColorSync' if you want the application you are using, and not the printer driver, to control the color management of the printed output.
    Note: If you are using Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3 and have selected 'Let Photoshop Determine Colors', the 'Color Matching' from the Print Options pop-up menu is automatically set to 'ColorSync.'
    Select 'Vendor Matching' if you want the printer driver to control the color management of the printed output."
    I tried it, and chose "Automatic" as a choice in ColorSync. The choices under "Color Options" are then greyed out, implying that the Canon driver is now turned off.
    The prints came out great, with no color cast, and a little brighter than the printer managed prints.
    So, Vendor Managed means printer manages, ColorSync means LR manages.
    Thanks, everyone, for keeping me going on tracking this down!

  • Compatibility with Canon Easy PhotoPrint Pro - Pixma Pro 9000

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded and installed the trial version of Photoshop CS5, only to discover that in the Automate (Under Files) option, Canon's Easy PhotoPrint Pro is no longer listed.
    I would be interested to know whether this is a Canon, or an Adobe problem
    I found that with Photoshop CS3, this method of printing, provided most accurate colours
    I would be interested in other subscribers, who print with the Canon Pixma Pro 9000, how they get best results from their printer - What options do you select in the print dialogue box, etc.
    Brian

    This sounds like a question about  general Photoshop CS5 use. This forum is specifically for people using the Photoshop CS5 FXG feature with Flash Catalyst.
    I recommend you post this question to one of  the more general Photoshop forums:

    Your question will get much wider exposure there, and you are more likely to get an answer from the Photoshop community.

  • Logitech quickcam pro 9000 - it was bad, but I made it worse!

    Hi all,
    I just got the logitech quickcam pro 9000, which is made for windows. I plugged it in, unable to install the windows drivers, and it worked, but was very low quality, and was transmitting very few frames per second.
    Since I could not find and mac drivers for this version of this camera, I tired installing the drivers for the quickcam pro 4000. Now my camera seems even worse. When I try to bring it up in Skype it takes so long to load I force quit Skype just to get out of the Skype Preferences, and if I do bother to wait, it gives like one frame per 3 or 4 minutes. I tried uninstalling the quickcam pro 4000 drivers, but nothing seems to have changed.
    Does anyone know how I can get it back to normal? (Or even better, closer to what this camera actually has potential for as far as quality?)

    I pluged it in with out driver and it worked. Both on skype and ichat

  • Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 not available for use in iMovie 08

    I have a Logitech Quickcam pro 9000 which works great in ichat, and skype. I can record with it using Quicktime (although the framerate really is slow) but for some reason the camera is not available in the pick list when I click on the camera icon in imovie 08. Is this a bug? Should imovie 08 be able to detect my camera?
    thanks!

    I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

    The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
    If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
    Is it possible to still get the older version?
    Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
    Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
    OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
    Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.
