Macbook 10.5.8 Version Built in ISight problem with YM 3.0 beta version

I am using my Macbook built in ISight with the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Mac, the 3.0 Beta. Every time i will use the YM webcam, it will only last for about 1 minute and will not work anymore. This is happening since i bought my macbook last November 2008. it will be a year next month and still the ISight is not working properly with YM. When i checked from the store where I bought my macbook, they said it happens in YM coz according to them YM is not yet fully applicable with apple laptop models and recommended to use other messenger instead. My family and friends are using YM only to keep in touch with me so I don't have a choice but continue using YM. Its really disappointing coz I even downloaded the other version of YM before this 3.0 version, but same problem still exists.
Can anyone help me on how can i fix this problem? or if there is really a solution on this..I've always wanted to have a macbook laptop but having this kind of problem really made me think if i did a right decision to buy this laptop. it is indeed an expensive laptop but i cant enjoy it fully...
please help me!!!

Welcome to Discussions, Marianne Bayogos
Problems like yours, especially those involving known-unreliable (Beta) software, can be difficult to resolve. You need to start by troubleshooting to determine the source of the problem. Then you will KNOW what to fix. You seem like a fairly experienced user, so try any of the following you think might help in any order you like.
(0) You can use the suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to determine whether iSight is causing your problem. Be sure to try with more than one user account and with some other apps, too.
If your iSight works properly with all other apps in every user account you test, your Apple hardware and software is NOT the cause.
If you can eliminate iSight as the source of your trouble, you will need to either switch to other ways of communicating or troubleshoot other system elements that might be causing the problem. Here are some other things you can consider if you don't get better suggestions here.
(1) Sometimes a restart restores function on internet connected applications. Shut down everything and restart your entire system including modem, router, and Mac in that order. To eliminate possible communication hardware problems, allow self-test to complete on each device before starting the next.
(2) If you updated or installed any other software immediately before the problem began, check their websites to see if there are known issues with your system configuration or installation. If these are no know issues, carefully following the developers' instructions, reinstall any recent software additions that you think might be causing a conflict with YMM, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, and try again. Doing this reinstall will reduce the possibility that some recent addition might be conflicting with your new YMM Beta.
If you find conflicting software, follow the instructions and uninstall to see if removing it will restore proper function to your favored communications apps.
(3) Check YMM's Help: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/mac/mac3/index.html
for help with installation and communication requirements/ configuration topics.
If you do not find the answers there, check the dedicated YMM forum (use the "Ask Other Messenger Users" link on the help page) to see if your problem has already been solved by other users who post there.
(4) You can also take your MacBook to a different location and see if the connection works when you access the web via a different internet connection.
(5) I no longer use YM because I often encountered problems like those you describe, but my testing from several years back showed that Yahoo! seemed to support the Windows version of their messenger app better than the Mac version.
Because your iNtel Mac can use Boot Camp, VMware Fusion™, Parallels™, or VirtualBox to run Windows® software, there is another alternative available to you. Choose which method you want to use to run Windows®, add the required software to your iNtel Mac (if you have not already done so), and then install and use Yahoo! Messenger for Windows.
  http://messenger.yahoo.com/platform/win
(6) If all else fails, and if your family and friends are willing to try something "new and improved" (does NOT work with Yahoo! Messenger), you can both install and try a different video chat app such as Google Talk or Skype.
(7) Alternatively, you can try the web-based video chat sites like http://www.mebeam.com/ or Defcom's recommended TokBok.

  • Having a problem with LR5 install and beta version

    I uninstalled LR5 beta first, then purchased and installed LR5  on windows 7. Now when I open LR5 I only get the images I download on the beta version and not my LR4 catalogs etc. How do I get LR4 to merge into LR5 new install?

    Jan, it sounds like most of your work is in your LR4 catalog?  In that case, I would start Lightroom 5, go to File > Open Catalog and point to your Lightroom 4 catalog (like dj_paige said).  Lightroom 5 will update your LR4 catalog.  Depending on how many images are in your catalog, this could take some time.
    Once your Lightroom 4 catalog is completely upgraded, decide if you want to merge your beta catalog into the upgraded catalog or not.  If you do, you can do File > Import from Another Catalog and point to your Beta catalog.  This will merge it into your newly-updated Lightroom 4 catalog. 

  • Can I use built-in iSight camera with other apps?

    Can I use built-in iSight camera with other apps?
    How?
    doesn't work in imovie or image capture

    Hi Judson,
    THe built in iSight will actually work with iMovie if you have the version of iMovie which comes with iLife 6. (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61929 for a mention)
    There is a slightly clumsy "workaround" available for use with earlier versions of iMovie, but you need a dv cam to use it - see http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051217210335199
    I gather that "EvoCam" - http://www.evological.com/evocam.html - will also work directly with the built in iSight.
    So too, should recent versions of QuicktimePro.
    As for other apps, tell us what you wish to do with it. We may be able to come up with some suggestions.
    Cheers

  • Problems with the iOS 5.1 version, HELP!

    I just upgraded to the latest version - iOS 5.1 on my iPhone 4, but now the screen is freezing all the time, and the phone shuts down. Is this a problem with the new 5.1 version? What can I do to fix it?

    Try to restore it... I'm hating this iOS 5.1, everything was working much better before it was released. I shouldn't have upgraded...

    Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
    my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
    This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
    I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)

  • Problems with reverting to an earlier version

    The update with Flash Player was causing problems, so I uninstalled Flash Player 11 and then installed Flash Player 10. But I now have Flash Player 10 Plugin and FlashPlayer 11 Active X on my computer. I am not sure how this happened, but is this OK or is this going to cause me more problems?
    Have now just checked again in Control and it also says I now have Adobe 11 plug in. So I guess I am back to where I started.
    I saw my original question but could not find out how to attach this question to it. Sorry.

    Dear Pat,
    Thank you. I have received the exact same reply from Amreso.
    I thank you both for your replies. If the problem occurs again, I shall follow your advice.
    I just need to pluck up the courage. I get so nervous with the computer when it plays up.

    Any idea? It has been 3 days only that I bought the Macbook.
    Thanks,

    My macbook had the same problem. It began after I installed bootcamp, which I have since updated to 1.1. Whenever I boot into windows xp and then back into Os X, the isight stops working. In photobooth I get a blank green screen with a few scribbling lines of static at the top, but in ichat I get the "in use by other application" error.
    I tried a system X reinstall, a bootcamp reinstall, zapping the PRAM, etc. etc. What really killed me was that the isight camera continued to work FINE in windows, but not at all in Os X (I could almost hear Bill Gates snickering).
    The solution turned out to be resetting the power management unit by unplugging, removing the battery and holding down the power button for 5 seconds. Works without having to zap PRAM after.
    The annoying thing is that I have to do this EVERY TIME after I have booted into windows if I want the camera to work in Os X.
    As other users have pointed out, bootcamp now includes a package that updates the isight firmware.
    Interestingly, this does NOT happen on my intel iMac, only the macbook.
    I'm hoping for a more elegant fix.
    Anyone else?

    Hi Dennis Moore2,
    Does not look like it's working yet. Looks like a driver problem:

  • MacBook pro does not recognize built in iSight cam even after restart/ reset

    After years of using Sony hdr500 video cam, iMovie stopped recognizing it and then stopped recognizing the built in iSight cam as well. Now photo booth does not see it either. I have restarted the computer to reset SMC and that did not resolve the problem. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks JJMANN

    see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151  Check cables, connections, too many devices, etc., suggested there.
    If your issue persists, try these steps:
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect all devices and cables except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
    With all you have already done, if no USB devices are recognized or work on your Mac after you have also considered all the above, you likely have a hardware problem.  Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Major built in iSight problem!

    So I opened photobooth today and the image was terribly wrong. The image was in shades of purples, greens and grays, and was very grainy. It wasn't a slight change of what the normal picture looks like, but so bad that it looks like it could be an effect (and it is not.)
    Nothing like this has ever happened before. I have no idea what it could be.
    I am using a macbook pro, MAC OS X version 10.4.11.
    2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB or ram.
    any help will be appreciated

    Sorry you are still having problems, annefeldman10
    So I tried all the different options ...
    So you mean that you tried the all except the last one?
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
    If you used the last suggestion, too, and have had your Mac checked by an AASP, what did he tell you to do?
    My camera is recognized ...
    Do you mean that your built-in iSight is recognized as a USB device in your MacBook Pro's (MBP's) System Profiler?
    If your built-in iSight does not show up as a USB device in your MBP's System Profiler after you have tried all relevant suggestion (except the AASP one) from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 , you have a hardware problem that will require the services of an AASP.
    ... only showing a green screen.
    Verify that the "Colors:" choices bar setting in your  > System Preferences > Displays window shows Millions. If it is shows something else, correct it.
    I am not sure what the reset is ...
    The "Reset SMC" suggestion in the first ¶4 of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    With your MBP, you must follow these instructions:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    ... (it only had instructions for powerbooks) ...
    If "it" means something in " http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 ", your statement cannot be true. No PowerBook has a built-in iSight.
    If you mean that you only have instructions for a PowerBook, you can download the users Guide appropriate for your MacBook Pro at:
      http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macbookpro
    ... I did the restart and it didn't help at all.
    Restarting your MBP is a good idea that often gets things working again. It was wise of you to try that first.
    I also suggest that you disconnect all peripherals while you troubleshoot your iSight and keep all applications closed except the one you are testing. Close the first app you test with your iSight before you launch the second one to be tested.
    If you meant "reset" instead of "restart," and if you use reset procedures for a "powerbook" instead of a MBP, it is not surprising that those PowerBook procedures do not correct a MBP problem.
    If you need to post back for more help, please be as specific as you can. We will try to offer detailed suggestions to your specific questions.

  • How can I use the built-in Isight camera with an external camera (usb/firewire) at the same time?

    How can I use the built-in Isight camera and an external video camera at the same time?
    I'm wanting to stream over Oovoo/Skype/etc. using 2 cameras.
    Thanks

    Simple question with a not so simple answer.
    (a) If you mean that you want to run multiple apps simultaneously using a different camera with each app, you may encounter computing power limitations.  Digital video is processor intensive.  The only way to know if your Mac can do this it to try it.  If the video does not work together but each app works when it it the only app running, you are likely overloading your Mac's ability to process and/or move all the required data in your data bus.  You can get a better indication of whether this is the case by watching your Activity Monitor utility while running the apps you want to use.
    (b) If you mean that you want to have more than one compatible camera connected to your Mac simultaneously for ease of changing between video sources, some, but not necessarily all, apps you are using to operate your camera(s) allow you to select between your cameras.
    How you select among connected cameras depends on which application you are using. Here is how camera selection works in a few examples:
    (1) For iChat, you can choose which iSight you use in the "Camera:" choices bar in iChat > Preferences... > Audio/Video that appears when more than one compatible camera is connected. Although your camera choices will be different, the choices bar will look something similar to the Preferences settings shown here:
    If you cannot see the "Camera" choices bar, your Mac is recognizing only one (or none) of your cameras. In that case, consider the suggestions fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 for iSight problems or refer to your other camera's documentation for help.
    This particular choices bar solution applies ONLY to iChat. Most other applications also have settings that allow you to choose which camera to use. However, they do not all work the same way.
    (2) For instance, iMovie HD's camera choice is NOT set via Preferences. When you have more than one compatible camera connected, iMovie6 HD uses a drop-down menu choice something like this (depending on which version of iMovie you use):
    Note: Because I had no built-in iSight connected when I made this example, and because my external iSight was not connected, the drop-down menu showed only "Time Lapse." Because your Mac has a built-in iSight, your built-in iSight would show in the drop-down menu even when no other camera is connected. Connecting an additional Mac compatible webcam should allow you to choose either camera.
    Other iMovie versions work slightly differently.
    iMovie 9 (from iLife '11) uses a different camera choice button shown in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    iMovie 8 (from iLife '09) is slightly different as explained in this article:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/8.0/en/10172.html
    In general, you can use your Mac's help for the application in use to find out how to select among more than one connected camera.
    (3) Photo Booth in Snow Leopard 10.6.x and later uses the Photo Booth > Camera menu command to select which camera to use.
    Note for readers with older Mac OS X: The previous version of Photo Booth that came with Tiger (10.4.x) is such a simple, basic app that it offers no menu selectable choice. Unless your built-in iSight is already occupied as the camera being used by some open application before you launch Photo Booth, Photo Booth will use ONLY your built-in iSight.
    However, you can use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to let Photo Booth use an external camera.
    (If you have an external Firewire camera connected, it may be used in preference to any USB webcam. If that is a problem for you, merely disconnect the problem Firewire device.)
    (4) For FaceTime, launch the app and click the Video menu item.
    If your Mac recognizes more than one connected compatible camera, a "Camera" section listing the cameras from which you can choose will appear there. Clicking on the desired camera name will let you select the one you want as shown in this image from my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
    If your Mac recognizes only one compatible camera, the "Camera" section will not appear in the Video menu, but FaceTime will automatically use the connected camera that is recognized by OS X.
    (5) I do not use Skype oir Oovoo.  For those or other apps, see Help for each app for info on how to select your desired camera.

  • Built in iSight issue with Vonage softphone?

    I'm not certain if this is similar to the post by Francisco Viana but I've lost my built in iSight too, and as far as I can tell started after having loaded Vonage's softphone which has a known issue with the Intell processor in MacBook.
    I'll remove softphone from my MacBook but is there any way to tell if this is the culprit otherwise?

    and as far as I can tell started after having loaded
    Vonage's softphone which has a known issue with the
    Intell processor in MacBook.
    I'll remove softphone from my MacBook but is there
    any way to tell if this is the culprit otherwise?
    John
    Removed softphone, then tried to see if I could find the driver in extensions, couldn't so then ran a test and got this:

  • Built-In iSight problem after migration on parallels

    I'm having a very strange problem. Recently I upgraded my MacBook Pro and migrated everything across from my old machine. Mostly without issue.
    Something is driving me crazy though. Now in Parallels when I try to connect my iSight XP tells me that it has discovered new hardware. So I go through the whole install new hardware rigmarole. It then tells me that 'It Cannot Install This Hardware' saying that wizard cannot find the necessary software. I do have the bootcamp drivers installed though.
    Also I'm noticing that when I'm trying to connect USB devices in parallels instead of it saying Apple Built-In iSight it's now saying Apple Built-In iSight #2.
    I've tried everything. Searched through these discussions, parallels forums and even tried editing the .inf file to get the driver to work.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Discussions, RichardBradbury
    I do not use Windoze, Boot Camp, or Parallels, so I have ever worked the specific trouble you post. However, I do have ideas that you can consider.
    If you get no better here, try all relevant suggestions from the iSight Troubleshooting article:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    If your only problem in any user account is with Parallels, there is nothing wrong with your Apple hardware or software. In that case, I suggest you seek suggestions from Parallel's wide variety of customer Support options:
      http://www.parallels.com/support/
    If you cannot find what you need from their FAQs, knowledge-base, dedicated Parallels Forum, or other Free Support Resource, you can request specialized help from Parallels Technical Support personnel via the contact choices available in the Support web pages.

  • Does any body knows how to make built in isight work with wondows xp!!!

    Hi everybody!
    I have the intel ship MacBook Pro, i'm runnining windows, i can't make it work, is there a plugin or a driver that i need to download, is there any body that can help me with this? please.
    Thanks.
    MacBook Pro   Windows XP Pro   built in isight

    The internal iSight is installed and works correctly under Windows XP on my MacBook, but it doesn't install correctly anymore under Windows XP on my Intel iMac.
    I think there is a problem with the latest iSight driver provided in the latest update to Boot Camp.
    I suggest you search and post in the Boot Camp forum:

  • Built-in iSight problems-"camera in use by another application" but its NOT

    I am having an issue with my iMac G5 2.1GHz with iSight built in.
    I tried to iChat AV tonight after months of not using it. When I opened my own video window it says "Your camera is in use by another application."
    There are no other applications open in the dock other than Finder.
    Same results with Photobooth. The message reads -- Photo Booth cannot open because the camera is in use by another applicaton. Close the application using the camera, then try opening Photo Booth again. < OK >
    I searched this forum and tried the following:
    • zap PRAM
    • reset SMU
    • reset NVRAM
    I looked for iSight prefs, but couldn't find anything. Deleting prefs is the only thing I have not tried, but I do not know what to delete.
    Also, the camera shows up under USB under system profiler. The IR remote also shows up on the same bus, and the remote works just fine.
    The green light next to the iSight is never on.
    I switched to another user and experience the same problems, so it does not seem to be user settings.
    Any help to get my computer to recognize my iSight would be appreciated!

    Thanks for the note. I saw that Apple KB article #93216 that basically tells you not to have any other applications running that use the camera, which I do not. Also, I have Classic installed, but it is not running as I hardly ever use it.
    Since my original post last night I have tried several more things, with absolutely zero success.
    One unique thing that I thought would work (and it sort of did) was to add Photobooth to my Startup Items under the Accounts tab of System Preferences. Unlike iChat AV, Photobooth will not even open if the built-in iSight is not available. So, I thought, let's see if Photobooth will open at Startup and perhaps take over the camera before whatever is taking it over has a chance to do that.
    Sure enough, this trick worked, although the video screen was blank. On a second time the video screen showed erratic thick lines like it was starting to pass the video data through and then was stopped. Again, my iSight is recognized by Apple System Profiler, so the computer knows it is there and is getting power, etc. As soon as I quit Photobooth and tried to reopen it, I received the message again that the camera was in use by another application.
    My next steps, when I am able, are to try to boot off an external firewire hard drive that should have an older saved backup of my system, from when the camera was working. I will also download the combo updater as you suggest, MGW, and apply that as I understand that to be a sort of remedy for any number of problems.
    To me it appears to be a software issue. I would imagine with the OS and not related to any application in particular. (iPhoto cannot access the iSight, can it? For some reason my iPhoto opens automatically on my G5 iMac every time I boot it up, and I cannot figure out why. I will look into this issue and see if it is related.)
