My  Samsung Sync Master 225UW's camera (webcam) won't work with my Mac mini

Hi,
I need help making my monitor's webcam work with my Mac mini. I have Mac OS X 10.5. When the computer launches the screen turns on, everything's perfect but the webcam will not turn on when I launch Photo Booth or iChat....what should I do?

That camera doesn't work with my mac either (I'm using it right now with a g4 powerbook, but will try again with my new power mac coming in... though I doubt it will make a difference)
The 225UW is specially made for Windows Vista, and I wonder if it needs a mac driver for the camera or something. We may be S.O.L. I knew that was a possibility when I ordered this monitor. Oh well... pay yer money... take yer chances.

  • Satellite A300 - inbuilt Chicony webcam won't work with Win Live Messenger

    Hello
    I just bought a *Satellite A300-1MC* (runs on Vista Home Premium), and downloaded Windows Live Mail And Live Messenger.
    The inbuilt webcam won't work with Live Messenger ; and when selecting Tool, Audi + Vieo Setup in Messenger I get thye following message : "We are unable to run Audi Video setup".
    The webcam works fine with the Camera Assisant Software.
    I have tried : 1) killing the C.A. Software and starting Messenger ; 2) dowanloading a webcam driver from Toshiba website ; 3) Updating Windows Vista
    None of the above work.
    Any suggestion gladly received.....
    Thomas

    Hi,
    Many thanks for the advice.
    I have downloaded and installed ManyCam 2.3, then rebooted.
    The ManyCam software works fine, and picks up signal from the inbuild webcam.
    But Windows Live Messenger still doesn't pick up the camera. I can not start a Video call or go to" Video Audio setup".
    I have Windows Live Messenger version 14.0.8064 (installed on Tuesday).
    Funny enough, yahoo messenger works fine : it gets a signal from the webcam.
    Conclusion : i think it is Windows Live Messenger that doesn't work properly for some reason.
    I have ordered a new external webcam, in the meantime.

  • How do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    ow do I get the camera on my Dell Monitor to work with my Mac Mini?

    If the camera registers itself as a standard UVC compliant Cameras (UVC = USB Video Class) then the Mac will recognise and use it with nothing else needed as the Mac has a built-in UVC driver. If it does not act as a UVC type device then you could look at the following third-party drivers.
    http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/

    I have seen some reports suggesting that at least some Dell monitor models will act as UVC compatible webcams and should 'just work'.

  • Will old iSight camera work with new Mac mini?

    will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini? If so what adapters will I need?

    Matthewlopez wrote: will an old isight camera work with a late 2014 Mac mini?...
    Yes (if the old external iSight works.)
    Apple's long ago discontinued Firewire External iSights were great webcams, but they are old (as consumer electronics go) and some may have had pretty rough treatment. Even NOS (new old stock) items may have been damaged in storage or handling.
    If you have access to an external iSight, you can test it using the suggestions from this page: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html.  To reduce the possibility of conflicts for old Firewire iSights, I suggest you disconnect all other Firewire peripherals until you get your external iSight working with your mini. Then connect other needed items one at a time and test each to determine whether you can use any without conflict.
    If you are considering buying an external iSight now, a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice. Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    If you want more examples of external iSight and newer minis, take a look at some of the results of this search for your question.
    Matthewlopez wrote: ... If so what adapters will I need?
    You will need a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter.  This adapter offers only a Firewire 800 connection.
    The Firewire connection on old external iSights is a Firewire 400 connector.  Therefore, you need some way to connect to the FW800 connector on your adapter:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:

    • This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:
      http://store.apple.com/us/product/HA833ZM/A/ (I use this one.)
    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:

  • Does the Video CAM EYE from Genius work on the Mac Mini (pre-2009)

    I purchased it on ebay specifically because it was Mac compatible but now having difficulty getting it to work with our system. Appears to require PowerPC processor but it was not clear if it could also work with our processor (Intel 2 core duo).
    Any input?
    If it CAN'T work, what should I look for?
    It's just so my husband and I can see/talk to our daughter at home (and vice versa) while we are on a 2 week trip.

    Did your product come with the Genius CD-ROM? Did it install WebCam Monitor for you?
    Info in the instruction manual and at the Genius Web support site.

  • IPod Camera Connector won't work with iPod Classic 80GB?

    I am trying to connect my iPod Classic (80GB) to my Canon 40D camera--to upload my images directly from camera to iPod. When I try, I get a message saying "Accessory is not supported." My local Apple store genius said that the iPod connectors only work with older iPods. I find it hard to believe that they'd eliminate such an important capacity on a newer version. Is he right? Or is there a way I can make it work?

    I have sent Apple feedback a couple times in the past few years asking for the camera connector to come back and work with the ipod touch. The more people ask, the better.
    Is it true that the new version of the SDK will allow apps to access the USB interface of the ipod touch? If that happens, then maybe some third party company can make something similar.

  • Webcam won't work with my HP Desktop XP

    I have a webcam live ultra. I recently did a full restore to my HP with XP to clean up the computer. Somewhere along the line I lost the creative intall disk. I downloaded the drivers and apps from the creative website but cannot get my PC or the webcam detector to find my cam. The cam works fine on my XP laptop and my Vista laptop so whats the deal with the HP. All my USB connections do work I have tried them with Printers, Keyboards, USB hubs, Speakers, etc.
    I have tried everything I can think of. I haven't even installed any of my extra software, so I don't clog up the system with extra issus t conflict with this install. I have tried the cam on all of the USB ports. I have tried t install the drivers with the cam plugged in, unplugged, and tried a new hardware serach, NADA. All of my other peripherals I plug in, windows find them right away and asks for input. This cam, nothing.

  • What Web Cam is compatible with the Mac mini

    Hi everyone,
                  Thinking of buying a Mac mini to use with my Sony TV but I want to connect a web cam also. Does anyone know what web cam works with a Mac mini? Keen to get one but if I cannot find a compatible web cam I don't think I will. I have no wish to buy the apple monitor just for the use of a web cam.

  • Microsof VX 3000 or 6000 Webcam does not work with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    The problem is that i cannot use the Microsoft VX-3000 or VX-6000 with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1.
    If i go in settings under Video i can see the preview from the webcam just fine, so it works there no problem.
    Wenn i try to enable my camera in a conference it does not work, i get an error: Your video cannot be started.
    Now, there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for the Webcam so i installed the latest Windows 7 drivers. Because of that this webcam does not work with apps, that is fine i understand the driver problem and the way the new apps work.
    But this Webcam works with skype under Windows 8.1 and it works with Lync 2010 client.
    The same Webcam works just fine with Lync 2013 under Windows 7.
    Is there anything i could do so that i get this Webcam to work with Lync 2013 desktop client under Windows 8.1?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, it may be caused by driver.
    You can try to install the latest version of Display Driver to fix the display issue.
    Since there is no driver for Windows 8.1, I suggest you wait for updating.
    You can also post a case on Windows 8 forum, thank you for your understanding:

  • IPOD won't work with SYNC in my new Ford Fusion

    Any fixes?

    I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

  • My front Facing camera just won't work It freezes everytime

    My front Facing camera just won't work It freezes everytime

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If that's the case, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Which CS Master Suite Products CS2,3,4,5,5.5,6 work with which Mac OSx 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?

    You have no idea what a journey it has been to try to find the answer to all of this. Here is my stab which is open for input.
    Which CS Master Suite Products CS2,3,4,5,5.5,6 work with which Mac OSx 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?
    - When I recently installed 10.6 on a 10.5 Macbook Pro with CS2 Master Suite, I lost all access to CS2. End of story. Unhappy ending at that.
    - I have CS4 Master Suite on a MacPro using OS 10.6.8, but my understanding is that if I go to 10.7, I lose all access to CS4. Another bad solution.
    - Apparently the same is true of CS5 and 5.5. If one goes to 10.7, you will no longer be able to use those programs.
    - The only Master Suite that is 10.8 compatible is CS6. New price $2,599, or $999 upgrade from CS5 or 5.5.
    32bit vs 64bit
    And to look at 32 bit vs 64 bit briefly. My CS4 Master Suite for Mac has two 64 bit programs, Premiere and After Effects. The Windows version of the same program also included Photoshop as 64bit.
    - I assume that as CS Suites went from CS4 to 5 to 5.5 and then to CS6, that more and more programs take advantage of the 64 bit architecture. I don't know the specifics however. Would like to know.
    - Also the MacOS has done the same. The newer the operating systems, the more the system takes advantage of mulitple processors, ram, and 64 bit architecture. Again, not sure of the sweet spot here.
    And then there was the cloud!
    Not sure what to do with that information.
    - Great, new products updates all the time
         - downside, what if the updates outgrow my computer? Size and technology?
         - What if the updates outgrow my system software?
         - What if I want to open a cs4 document 5 years from now?
              - do I have to subsribe forever?
              - if I have CS6 on my computer, do some work, and want to open it 10 years from now, I still have the software and a computer.
         - Cost of $30 a month on a special, but $50 a month normally. Sounds cheap month to month, but after two years of $50, I have spent $1,200 on a product that I don't own!
    Anyway, all of this comes up because I have multiple versions of Master Suite. I have multiple computers with various versions, and it all goes to crap if I upgrade the system software, or Adobe no longer supports the older versions. This is my contribution to the discussion. Apparently Adobe support had no archived articles to answer any of my questions, they suggested I look online. Great help. As I say, I don't much trust Adobe as my business partner anymore. I think I will work my way towards CS6 and see how long that takes me with Apple system upgrades. I'm not sure what OS 10.9, and beyond may bring as it relates to Adobe products, but I do need to get past my old 32bit applications running on an 8 core machine with 32gig of ram.
    Which brings up one final point. I have Imac with 4 gig ram, Macbook pro with 8gig of ram, and MacPro with 32 gig ram. Will 4 gig ram run Cloud CS master suite? Its a worm hole that just keeps getting deeper! I have to find a place on that slope that is cost effective and allows me to hold my position for a few years until I can see how Adobe treats its cloud cutomers, and how well Adobe and Apple play together.
    If you have any links to addtional information about various CS programs and which are ported to 64 bit, that would be helpful. I read some things about Rosetta and Java being the culprits in various upgrades to CS programs and the new Mac OS systems.
    Also, if you have any work arounds to get CS5.5 to run on OS 10.7 or 10.8, curious to hear about those as well. As I understand it, 10.8 no longer includes the previous Java or Rosetta applications, but I was under the impression that they could be installed after.

    Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

    What kind of Mac to you have?  This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire.  If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
    ETA:  Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go.  You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.
