Mic and cam

this may be a dumb question, but how do I know if there is a built in mic and webcam on my computer. My husbands says it is here like his laptop but I do not see how to turn on the cam or know if the mic is working
I have a new hp pavillion, 24 in monitor,,, I do know my way around a computer but vista is very new to me

If you tell us the exact model number for your PC and Monitor, I can tell you for sure....I'm betting you won't have a mic or cam built into the Desktop PC, but you might in the monitor.

Mic and Cam won't work on iChat

Hello
I have a new mac pro, so I am a beginner! However, I know that the cam is working and that there is a function mic because when I can see it on My Display iSight. I see me, and I see the audio. But on iChat the camera and phone icons are not green and I cannot use them.
Moreoever, in google talk I do have a camera icon, but when I try and call people on google talk they cannot hear me! I can't find anything about the mic anywhere.
Please, anything you can do to help would be awesome.

Hi Cathjoy,
IF in System Preferences > Sound you can see the Sound Blue Bar in the Input Tab move at least half way (preferably 3/4) - then you need to check ichat in a couple/three of places.
1) In the View Menu of iChat make sure "Show Video Status" (And Audio) is selected (Ticked). (this shows the green Audio and Video Icons)
2) In the Video Menu of iChat again both Mic and Camera Enabled item should have a tick next to it (Selecting toggles it On or Off)
3) In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section there should be a Microphone drop down and your choice here should match the one in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab and you should see the Green bar here move when you talk.
When doing 1) make sure the correct Buddy List is the "Front" Window (Your own icon may still display as a Video one if another Buddy List is set to Video in iChat 4 and iChat 5)

Mic and Cam issues

I tried to Skype with my family last night, and my mic and cam did not work. They did when I first got this computer (laptop). For some reason, they did not work last night. I could hear and see my family, but they could not hear nor see me.

You mean it Failed? uhmmm. It could be a hardware issue but try to reload your OS first and see if it rectifies the issue. (make sure you have a backup of your data ). See How to clean reload the BlackBerry 10 OS or BlackBerry PlayBook OS using BlackBerry Link

I am new to iMovies. When I make a video using the mic and camera in my Macbook Pro, the audio and video are not in synch. Very annoying. How can I fix this?

Display with Mic and Camera

I have loved my iMac but am dying to move to a Mac Pro with Cinema display. Is it impossible to add a built in camera and mic within the cinema? I mean, with photobooth, iChat, etc...it seems like a brilliant but simple move on Apple's part to incorporate a built in camera and mic into the cinema like it is built into the iMac.

I am planning on waiting until Apple does incorporate a mic and camera into the Cinema before I buy that and a Mac Pro. It seems to only make sense they will be releasing that since they no longer offer a camera/mic unit like the one in the past they offered.
I love the iMac but I don't like all the external drives, etc you need to use it when needing a bunch of storage space like I do. I am a songwriter, videographer and my iTunes music library is closing in at 400GB soon...so three 500GB external hard drives is cluttering up the place. I would rather have three 500GB internal hard drives in a Mac Pro. Also, the fact that you cannot add a second optical drive, like a Lightscribe drive, which is what I want to do to my comptuter, again by adding it internally is the way I see my future.
I just like the my destop and area around my desk/computer to be clutter free and to have to have three external hard drives, an external lightscribe drive or potential BluRay drive down the road AND a camera/mic that is external is just too much to bear at the moment.
I guess we all can dream...and mine is an Apple Cinema with a built in mic/camera.

How to enable mic and camera in flash screensaver

Acer flash screensaver can record from the built in webcame. Adobe flash player pops up a message asking to allow or deny. I tried to set it to allow but when I move the mouse the screensaver goes stops and I am not able to click allow. How and where can I change adobe flash settings and manually allow this?
Here is the exact message.
Adobe Flash Player Settings
Camera and Microphone Access
“local” is requesting access to
Your camera and microphone.
If you click Allow, you may be
recorded
I cannot click allow because when I move the mouse (or press enter) the screen saver goes away. I have tried putting the cursor right where the allow is and clicked it and it still gives the message.
Thanks for help

I have a problem with the same control. The application using the cameras is on a server. I can set up the access in the flash player settings manager (which may solve the above), but it isn't retained consistently. This is on 2 XP PCs, with separate cameras, but the same server application. 3 different users with their own roaming profiles use the machines. I guess the settings are saved in the application data on their profiles. Can I change it so it is on the All Users profile? I'm not sure Flashplayer is really needed as the webcams are Microsoft, but I am reluctant to disable it.

Sync different audio files from mics and cams

Hey all,
I recently recorded a performance using 2 cams and 2 microphones. Hence, I have 4 audio tracks of the same performance.
Is there any function within Logic Pro X that allows me to quickly sync all these tracks, rather than moving them around until they match?
Thanks!
Z

Export each track as a separate AIFF file.
Open both tracks in AmadeusPro. Copy and paste into a new file with two tracks.
Select one track and use Effects>Change Pitch and Speed. This will provide incremental adjustments till both waveforms match up. But remember, you need to adjust both pitch AND speed together to reproduce a mechanical speed difference.
Once you have both tracks running in sync, use this opportunity to separate your two tracks into four by selecting Sound>Split Track. Now you have 4 separate tracks that are now in sync.
Export each track as AIFF files and reimport back to GarageBand by dragging them onto the GarageBand timeline.

I use a Canon VIXIA HFM41 camera with bluetooth WM-V1 mic and receiver. Audio drops in and out.

Trying to figure out why my audio kept dropping in and out while recording a 90 minute presentation this past weekend.
I just recorded 90 mins today in my office of a TV monitor screen and audio - no audio problems. Batteries were fresh and camera was fully charged over the weekend before I had the audio problems. Bluetooth? Could there have been some sort of cellphone interference with the bluetooth audio signal that caused the problem? I was with a group of about 25 people when recording the event - and I was the only person recording video/audio. My camera was about 15-20 feet from the microphone, which was close to the house mic and sound system - but no interference at all with the audio I did capture.
The audio didn't just drop out - it faded out, and would fade back in after several minutes. Video was complete, no interruption or distortion. HELP!

Yes, you can use the 85 watt adaptor. You cannot use the new adaptors because your computer is not equipped with the proper MagSafe connector. But you can use the older MBP adaptors as well as a 60 watt replacement adaptor. All can be found at Apple's Online Store.

Microphone and camera translation not optional

I've added permissions for use of the camera and microphone, but the app wont let me select them. Any ideas as to why?

I used the Windows key with the "i" key from within the app to open the options menu on which I then selected permissions and made sure that the app had the relevent permissions for the microphone and camera. I also made sure that I had no other
programs open that were using the camera or mic. It's not that the microphone isn't working, the app won't let me select it.
I am using the app om a Windows 8.1 laptop and whilst I have little use for the camera translation the microphone translation would be rather useful. The microphone works fine with other Metro apps like Sound recorder and Skype and also in desktop apps.

Upgrade system and camera

Well, I been editing on a Mac Pro and FCP Studio for just over a year now and have enjoyed the stability of the system and software. I have also enjoy this forum, read it daily, and use it as a learning tool. Now it is time to move onward and upward.
First of all I film and edit recreationally, mostly sports, nature, family events and the like. I have been shooting with a Sony VX-2000 and Sony DSR390L, and using a DSR11 deck. Well it is time to upgrade both my system and camera.
I am on information overload with all the camera choices, formats and workflows. Basically I want to be able to shoot HD and also a format for DVD's and eventually Blu-ray discs, and to edit in FCP on my Mac Pro. Trying to stay up with technology here.
I would like to upgrade with a budget of around $10,000.00. In that budget I need a new camera, new laptop (for transfering files while on the road and some light editing), and to add to my system to improve my editing capability. So the known costs are..
Upgrade to Snow Leopard and FCP 7........330.00
MacBookPro 17" Laptop........................$2,800.00
That leaves me with about $7,000.00 for a better video card, some sort of HDMI card for external monitor, and a camera.
So I guess I need information on the following...
First and foremost is the camera....I will have around $5,000.00 for a new HD Camera. For what I do I would think that 1/3" CMOS sensor should be adequate (was looking at the Sony EX1 with the 1/2" CMOS sensor but I am not sure I really need that. Plus the memory cards are quite expensive) Was also looking at the new Sony HXRNX5U. Would consider other brands, but I have always shot with Sony, with not many problems. I am also thinking that it is time to move away from tape.
So, being that I will be recording to some sort of Memory Stick, I was wondering just what hardware I will need to be able to use this format and provide for an external HD TV for monitoring.
I am guessing that I need something like a Black Magic Intensity Pro or something similar....
Would also like a recommendation for an upgraded dual monitor video card. I presently have a ATI Radeon HD 2600. (Was also looking at the Decklink HD Extreme, but was wondering if I need that or just something like the Intensity Pro and a better video card.
Thanks for helping me to sort this all out....my head is spinning.
Kirk

if your hooking upto a laptop look at matrox mx02, or aja ioHD external sdi/hdmi io boxes, camera look at panasonic p2 HVX200, or HVX170
But please take this advice on, I would personally take a good chunk of that budget at look at buying lights, reflectors, top light (PAG?) shoulder mount (something like a PAG orbitor) radio Mics, rifle mic, and a really really good tripod
there is NO point editing dark/badly lit pictures with crap sound on them

In-built microphone and camera problems

Hello,
I have an HP Pavillion DV7 Notebook, S/N [Edited for Personal Information] and product number QG704EA#B1A, running Win7 Home Premium. Some days ago I was obliged to run the recovery procedure. Everything was going well for some days until I tried to communicate again with Skype and found out that although I was receiving sound and video from the calling persons, they were not able to hear me or see me.
I tried to fix the problem with Skype settings but I am receiving always the messages that my built-in microphone and camera are not found/recognised. I looked at control panel/System and confirmed that CyberLink WebCam Virtual Driver (6.0.5600.0 dated 11/1/2010) and IDT High Definition Audio CODEC (6.10.6329.0 dated 11/3/2011) are working properly. I even uninstalled them and reinstalled using HP Recovery Manager but still no solution.
Could you please give me some advice?
Thanks in advance
Matzaridis [Edited for Personal Information]

Hello gematz.
I see that you're having an issue with mic/camera in skype. I will try to help you with this.
Are you having an issue with these in any other program?
As you've already reinstalled the drivers with Recovery Manager, I would suggest trying to update them next. You can use the HP Support Assistant to do this: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
If that fails to resolve the issue, then you may want to give the following documents a read through.
No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7) - does provide steps for general sound issues
Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7)
If these are working fine during testing or in other programs, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling skype.
Please let me know how this goes for you. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

3rd party mic & web-cam for 1GHz mirror G4

hi,
I have try the old apple mic & got a mic froma computer store but all doesn't work...
Seems like all the salesman does not know much about mac and keep giving me the wrong information... and they don't accept returns...
Pls recommend any cheap or good mic & web-cam that works for my G4.
Also is there anyway to tell if the product works with mac as the packaging normally only give infor for PC. I have so far collected alot of 'junk' which the salesman promise it works with all computer but that doesn't seems the case... not for me...
I'll be using the mic & web-cam mostly on skype. Thanks

Hi-
The following is a list of Mac compatible web cams, particularly when used with Skype:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=69289
Note that many use the Macam driver, or for example, as in the case of the Logitech QuickCam Ultra, no driver. I use the Ultra, and have had no problems. Most of the logitech line, as well as the Macally camera, will give good results
To use many of the cameras with iChat, the iChatUSBCam is the ticket.
