Logitech Quickcam Messenger [046d:08f0]

I was extremely surprised when the kernel gave me the illusion of plug and play, using the gspca driver for this device.
Unfortunately the gspca driver only supports the 046d:08da cam with the same name.
It looks like the actual driver to be used is the one at http://mag.cx/messenger/ , which is prepackaged in community under the name qc-usb-messenger.
Unfortunately, despite seemingly detecting everything...

USB device (Logitech QuickCam Messenger) stopped working (SOLVED)

Hey there,
I have a logitech quickcam messenger, which used to work perfectly 2 days ago. I updated my system yesterday and this morning, but I tried the cam again only now, and neither cheese nor webcamstudio work anymore (it never worked in skype since I moved from Mint to Arch a few weeks ago, but that was easily (and better) addressed by starting cheese and then using desktop sharing in Skype)
The webcam is recognized

[ 3816.938010] gspca: no transfer endpoint found
The (not so obvious) solution was to connect the webcam directly to the computer and not through a USB hub. I have no idea why it used to work and suddenly stopped, but it works again now.
sorry to take up your time, in case I did.

Logitech Quickcam Messenger no dice

So I have this logitech quickcam messenger, and suprise, its not working.
Anyway, i plug it in (USB), and several modules load, /dev/video0 is created, but other than that, no functionality.
Mostly when i try to run any video app I get (running motion):
[1] Failed to open video device /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
I can run cat /dev/video0 and get a lot of output streaming out, so thats a good sign. But I wonder is the device really busy or is the driver screwed up?
I'm using the quickcam_messenger module that autoloads when i plug it in.
I've also tried qcmessenger and gspca_zc3xx modules to no avail.

Old topic, but case is up to date.
I was struggling with my own older Logitech camera Quickcam Pro. Apparently I bought the wrong one, but finally I set it up with limited functionality.
Of course the problem was the driver. No pwc, no linux-uvc and not even spca5xx. I had to compile new driver module with nw802. Actually mine was nw801, but I just had to edit one file before compilation, apply some patches, insert this module and now it works.
Please do some researches and specify correct driver for your webcam using ProductID. Logitech webcams have varied set of drivers. :-)

Using Logitech QuickCam Messenger with Tiger/Classic 9...

I just received this webcam from my daughter and found on installing the disk that it will only work with OS9....I have the Classic 9 installed on this Powerbook, but is this the same as OS9...as when I try to intall it in the Applications OS9 it will not proceed...is there another way to do this ?

What sig says is good. However, sometimes Classic is not the same as being booted natively to OS9, which your computer is incapable of doing. I don't know about this camera but true OS9 items sometimes need access to the computer hardware and basic resources on a fundamental level. In Classic it is really OSX that is running the system and the interface to the basic features is not the same as when OS9 is running the show.
Are you running the installer from inside Classic? If not, that might be a problem. Otherwise it is possible the installer is doing a check for which operating system is running the computer and finding it is not OS9. Workarounds might depend upon the sophistication of the installer. Sometimes an installer just copies files out of a folder and puts them where they belong. In that case you could just copy them out yourself. On the other end of the scale it may be a compressed archive package installer, in which case if you wish to experiment further you would have to find an OS9 computer, install on there, then copy the components out and copy them into the correct places on your OSX machine.

Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro as a Flash webcam?

I need a webcam for my Mac Pro. I'm currently running Leopard but plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard soon. I'm looking at the Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro, but I've read reviews that say it works well in applications like iChat and Skype, but isn't recognized as a webcam by Adobe Flash Player for use on Flash chat websites like tinychat.com and stickam.com. I really need a webcam that is recognized and compatible with Flash Player.
Can anyone with a Logitech Quickcam Vision Pro confirm whether it works through Flash player on sites like tinychat or stickam? If not, can anyone recommend a webcam that works well on a Mac for Flash-driven sites like these?

Here is the list :
Reference: Logitech Webcams for Macintosh (OSX)
Question
In order to use a a webcam on your Mac OS X computer, your Logitech camera must be UVC (Universal Video Class) compliant. These standard UVC drivers are provided by the operating system and will provide minimal camera support only. This allows your webcam to operate on your Mac using third party Instant Messenging applications such as Yahoo IM and MSN. There is no support for other applications such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro.
Currently, Logitech does not provide additional webcam software drivers for Macintosh to allow advanced features such as RightLight, RightSound or Video Effects.

Logitech QuickCam madness.

Hello, I've two webcams connected to my computer.
One of those is the built-in iSight, and the other one is a Logitech QuickCam Fusion. `ls /dev/ | grep video` actually reports two: video and video1. `lsusb` does also detect the webcam: "Bus 001 Device 002: 046d:08c1 Logitech Inc, QuickCam Fusion", but no luck at all.
But Cheese does only detect (and actually works) my iSight.
Any ideas?
EDIT!
dmesg says:
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:08c1)
uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround.

The UVC driver site http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ states the 046d:08c1 Logitech Quickcam Fusion has the following two issues.
1 First and second generation Logitech webcams suffer from firmware bug which make the camera somehow unstable.
As the issue is timing-related, the exact impact of the bug on a particular user can't be predicted.
If you plan to buy a Logitech webcam, consider getting one of the models not affected by the bug.
More information about the issue, including possible workarounds, are available on the QuickCam Team website.
2 Starting at version 2.6.22, the Linux kernel includes a USB audio bug fix which triggers a (possibly identical to the above)
bug in first and second generation Logitech webcams. See the Linux UVC wiki for a workaround.
You may have some luck trying the workarounds listed on the Linux Quickcam Team web site http://www.quickcamteam.net/documentati … tibilities and the Linux UVC Wiki http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.ph … =Linux_UVC.

Anyone using Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro with OSX??

Is anyone successfully using a Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro with their Mac? The specs say a WinTel machine is required, but I'm wondering if the camera/microphone functions will just plug-and-play on a mac even without the Logitech software...
Thanks,
JAG

Thank you very much for your post; I went out and bought this webcam after reading about your experience. I can confirm that the Logitech Quickcam 5000 Pro works with my G5 (2 x 2 GHz) and iBook G4 (1.2 GHz). I purchased it at Best Buy on sale for $60; every one they had came in the MS Vista & ©2006 packaging. I initially had problems with it working with my G5, but it had no problems working with my iBook. I eventually traced the problem on my G5 to a screwy Tiger installation (I had been having weird USB2 issues for quite a while in fact), and after I reinstalled Tiger, the Quickcam 5000 works just fine on my G5 too.
As for application compatibility... the camera is recognized without me needing to install a driver when using Skype, Yahoo Messenger, QuickTime Pro, and HackTV. However, when I try to use it with iChat, iChat always claims the webcam is busy - from all the other posts it seems iChatUSBCam should allow the camera to work with iChat. I personally haven't tried it because I use Skype to video chat with my GF (who uses a PC and the PC version of Skype). It's a little choppy, but I think it's because I'm on cable and she's on DSL. Also, I'm willing to live with some choppiness to use a $60 webcam instead of paying the ridiculous $300 it takes to buy an iSight on fleaBay nowadays.

Logitech Quickcam running in OS X??

Hi,
I have a Logitech Quickcam which came with a Logitech Quickcam disk but it only works on OS 9. I dont want to have to use my Quickcam in OS 9. Is their anyway I can use it in OS X? And it connects thru USB.

As I noted above, there are several QuickCam models (out of 27 different models whose names include "QuickCam") that are listed (on that Logitech driver downloads page I linked) as compatible with OS 9. The Messenger is not one of them, and is not among the models listed as supported by the QC 5.0.1 driver download for 0S 9, nor by the OS X driver offered for a few other models. If you didn't buy the camera new in a sealed package, then the disk you got with it may not belong with it. If you did buy it new, and the disk was sealed inside the package, then Logitech's web site contains misleading information or, as I suggested previously, you've misidentified the camera model. Either way, what you need to do yourself is:
1. Identify the camera model correctly.
2. Check Logitech's web site for the correct model to see whether an OS X driver is available for it.
3. If you don't find one there, call Logitech. Double-check the model ID, then ask whether the camera can be used in OS X, what driver supports it if so, and where to get that driver.
4. If Logitech can't help you, buy an OS X-compatible camera.
Rule 1 for researchers: Go first to the source who is most likely to have the information and/or most motivated to see that you get it. In this case, that source is quite obviously Logitech, not Apple Discussions.

JMF crashed with Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebook using latest driver.

JMF crashed with Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebook using latest driver
I can't register the webcam in JMF. WinXP crashed with Blue-screen-of-dead.
The crash occurs on installation of JMF when the installer tries to detect my capture devices.
Windows also crashes when i open the JMF Registry Editor and tell it to search for my capture devices.
I use a QuickCam Pro for Notenooks with driver version 11.80.1065.0000 on Windows XP with JMF 2.1.1e.
PS: I can use JMF to connect to other brand's webcam.
So, how to solve it?

So, how to solve it?JMF apparently doesn't work with that camera...so if you want to install JMF, you should unplug your Logitech cam. If that doesn't work, uninstall it.

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?!

[Solved] Quickcam Messenger and Skype

So I have installed skype from multilib

guvcview, cheese, xawtv and kopete show video footage from the webcam. skype does not.
I have tried starting skype with these commands

I was following the webcam page - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Web … our_webcam
The guessing came when that didn't work
In any event, that raises a new issue

edit1: Will search for the skype page now
edit2: seems the skype page maybe outdated given multilib skype.

Using Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks with Mac..

Can I install the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks(new version) on my G4 Powerbook(OSX 4.11) ? I have read several posts from Mac people saying that this is possible BUT is there a CD included with the installation AND does that CD only work for the PC software ?
Would like to know before purchasing....
Thanks

I read Logitech's data page on this cam but it does not mention anything about Mac compatible although the info I saw from some Mac people suggested that that might be some silent agreement between them and the PC people.....
Here's the article I read under: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html scrolled down to the Logitech data and found this under the QuickCam Pro for Notebooks:
Logitech QuickCam for NoteBooks PRO (New Version)
Important Note: Logitech Compatibility Information
The following Logitech QuickCams are currently available in two versions. Only the newer version is Mac-compatible (UVC compliant) (Unless otherwise noted.).
* QuickCam for NoteBooks PRO
* QuickCam Orbit MP/Sphere
* QuickCam PRO 5000
* QuickCam Ultra Vision
* QuickCam Fusion
Identifying the newer revision cameras:
The new models are labeled with the "Works with Windows Vista" logo, and also feature "RightLight 2" as one of the features.
Part Number (P/N): The compatible model/part numbers are listed on our camera guide. Unfortunately, the part number can only be found by opening the box.
Logitech provides the following table showing the new vs. old camera models. The cameras marked as "UVC Supt" are Mac-compatible.

Quick Capture and iChat AV do not recognize the Logitech QuickCam

I use Tiger system, and iChatAV and Quick Capture do not recognize Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Pro. Is it supposed to?? The camera is on, everything connected up OK, but no results.

You may find more users familiar with this problem in the iChat AV forum.
Do you have a G3 Dual USB iBook? That is the forum in which you have posted.

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

Help- Using IChat 4.0.5 with Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro w/Mac Pro 10.5.4

Our only child just went away to college, so we bought a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro because it was supposed to be plug and play. He has a MacBook with the built-in iSight camera. We have a Mac Pro, so had to buy something in order to be able to communicate using visual/audio over iChat. I chose the Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro because it was made specifically for Macs and was supposed to be plug and play. It had good ratings, as well, and since the original iSight camera wasn't available anymore...
We tried communicating tonight, and he couldn't see us at all, but could sometimes hear us. We could see him, but not hear him at all. Both of us are on broadband connections. He is using Tiger and we're using Leopard.
So, I tried communicating with a friend using a G5 Mac who had an iSight camera and running Leopard. She was able to see and hear me, but I could only see her, not hear her. We went through all my preference settings, using text messaging, and they all seemed to be fine. She suggested that I call Logitech, which I did.
The guy I spoke with at Logitech had me go through all my settings, and he said they were fine. It appears that the camera is sending video and audio, but I can only receive video, but not audio. I tried using headphones, internal speakers, and external speakers (plugged into the headphone jack). No joy.
Any eye deers?

Hi
First have you set the Quicktime streaming setting, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to 500.
Restart iChat.
