Welcome to Apple Discussions, Mnkras
Have you tried repairing the Boot Camp drivers? The directions beginning on the bottom of p. 24 of the Boot Camp Installation Guide tell you how to repair the drivers and reinstall a specific driver if necessary.
If you have not already seen this, you may find other help in Apple's Boot Camp Support page.
If you get no better suggestions here, the last answer in the Boot Camp 2.0, Mac OS X 10.5: Frequently asked questions tells you that you can get phone-based assistance for Boot Camp 2.0 from Apple.

    According to the spec sheet that system doesn't have Bluetooth.  It might have a Bluetooth entry in the Control Panel, but the hardware isn't installed.  That's why it can't find the phone.

  • Is it possible to get an iSight camera to work with Yahoo Messenger?

    Totally new to PC here. Been a Macuser all my computer life, but needed a second computer for work. Not thrilled, but there it is.
    So, I'm wondering if the isight camera is PC compatible, and if so, how and what drivers do I install? Or do I just go out and by a PC camera?

    Hello maurice493windows ML
    Until Tony gets back with you, here is some info you can consider.
    iSight does not need an installer CD because it was sold by Apple for use with Macs. All software for iSight is built into Mac OS X, so no separate installer CD was provided.
    Apple's Boot Camp software that comes with the iNtel Macs has drivers for XP, but I am uncertain whether you have one of the iNtel Macs. If you do have access to an iNtel Mac and the software that came with it, you can extract the driver using the info Tony provided in this response to "Lennysapple" here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4207189&#4207189
    This apparently will work with a PC running Windows XP, but I have not yet seen reports of it working properly with Windows Vista. You may, as Tony suggests, need to experiment to find out.
    <hr width="75%">
    I do not recommend iSight on a PC. If you have too much difficulty, a USB webcam that is compatible with YM for your PC may be a quicker and easier choice. Many of the PC compatible USB webcams are cheap, and they were designed to work with PCs.
    This Google Search returned links, such as this one, which contains the following statement that may indicate more problems for you:
    ... Apple specific hardware will not work, such as the iSight, Bluetooth, etc. due to the fact that they're written for 32-bit Windows XP SP2.
    I do not know whether that is still true, but it does support my suggestion that it may be easier to buy a PC compatible USB webcam.

  • External iSight camera (FireWire) acting flakey with Skype

    My once reliable & rock-solid Apple iSight camera just started acting strange, sometimes it will provide picture perfect video and now suddenly when using Skype the picture has a venetian-blind effect with the video inverted upside down (interlacing on steroids). I am using the latest, greatest version of Skype, funny thing is when I go into the Prefs and check video the picture is perfect like in iChat, but when I connect with my parents their video comes through perfect but mine is scrambled. The camera maybe gets a maximum of 25 hours per year of use, but is now about 7 years old. Checked FW connections and rebooted, PRAM reset, etc. Any suggestions? Time to get a cheap USB webcam? Want to use iChat but no good for our connection (broadband) and Tiger/Leopard OS problems.

    Hi,
    I use a Advent 1.3Mp Int camera that I bought form the UK version of PC World
    The Int bit stands for Interchangable fronts. It has a Mic as well.
    It has a fold out bit to hook on to the top of laptops (it's not deep enough for a current iMac).
    The cable fits into the base which makes it difficult to use as a free standing item.
    The X-box 360 Camera works as it is UVC compliant as well but has no Mic.
    With some older Macs that have USB 2.0 (Needed for UVC compliant cameras) on the computer/tower do not have USB 2.0 ports on the keyboard.
    I have a USB 2.0 card added to my G4 tower.
    Others http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
    Generally speaking most USB cameras will be USB 2.0
    In most cases but not all these will be UVC compliant (USB Video Class)
    Vista in Windows onwards and Mac OS 10.4.9 onwards have UVC drivers so a "PC" camera does not need Mac Drivers.
    The ones that are USB 2.0 only will need Drivers and these then get difficult to find (there were third party options for USB 1.1 cameras and you needed and Add on Utility for iChat)
    Pay attention to the pixel descriptions.
    Mine is 1.3 Megapixels (1280 X 960 pixels)
    USB cameras seem to be mentioning 5Mp at present.
    However iChat can only use 0.3 (640 X 480 pixels) max as can Photo Booth.
    having said that Quicktime Pro (for your 10.5.8) and imovie could use the higher pixel format if you were going to do more with it with those apps.
    Summary
    UVC compliant is an absolute for a Mac nowadays.
    This will need you to have a USB 2.0 port on the computer rather than the keyboard with slightly older Macs (Some Intels are included in this).
    Any Camera that is marked "Vista Certified" or UVC compliant may not have the same features on a Mac that they advertise for a PC.
    There is a wide variety out there with different pixel rates and you need to pick one to suit where you will use it most.
    iChat and Photo Booth will use the pic at a sample rate of 640 X 480 (0.3Mp) (Not sure about Comic Book if it was Bundled with your Mac although it will see the camera).
    Other apps mentioned above will see the full spec of the camera.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't Get External iSight Camera to Work in XP Pro.

    I just installed XP SP2 via Boot Camp on my Mac Pro. I had trouble getting the Boot Camp Drivers Wizard to complete. It would freeze.
    After I disconnected my iSight Camera and Apple USB Modem, I was able to get the wizard to complete.
    But on reboot I still see Found New Hardware Wizard.
    I also still see question marks beside my iSight Camera in Device Manager.
    I tried to run the Apple Booot Camp Driver Wizard again using the REPAIR option. Same problem..
    Any Ideas?
    Rob

    It looks like Apple does NOT provide any Bootcamp drivers for EXTERNAL iSight cameras.
    I am out of luck!! Pity!!
    From wikipedia:
    "Microsoft Windows XP and Vista will autodetect an external iSight camera as “1394 Desktop Video Camera”, but no specific iSight driver exists for Windows"
    see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight
    If someone knows of a Windows driver that will work with an EXTERNAL iSight camera, please let me know.

  • External isight camera used with boot camp

    I'm trying to set up my EXTERNAL isight camera with windows vista under bootcamp. I want to be connected to skype (version 5.1) when I'm working on the pc side of my Mac Pro under boot camp. I've upgraded boot camp to the latest version (3.2) but it seems that the only drivers supplied are for built-in isight cameras and these don't work with my camera. I've checked the downloads section of the apple site with out luck. Is there a driver for the external isight camera or is there a way of making the built-in isight drivers work with my camera?

    When I record with my iSight camera, after a few seconds it stops recording and tell me there is "Dropfame" images. What do I have to make?
    A few weeks ago, my camera doesn't do that, but since 1-2 weeks it becomes impossible to record with it.

    Hi mstearns59,
    If you are having issues with the audio in a movie in iTunes and video playback issues I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Flash player doesn't see built in iSight cam

    Using an app that I want to give access to my cam and mic.  iMac OSX10.6.3, Firefox 3.6.3., built-in iSight cam.  Dialog box asking me to allow/deny comes up, but I can't click on anything.
    Right click, click settings, can't make any changes to that dialog box either.
    Went to Adobe Flash Player site, settings manager, Global Security Settings tab, typed website into box and set for allow.  Note: on this tab there is a lock showing, but still allowed me to put site in.
    Site is also "allow"ed on Privacy Settings Panel.
    Camera Settings does not show iSight camera, but only Logitech Cam (which is not on computer).  Same for microphone tab.
    This also happens with Safari, and on my Macbook Pro, which is in a different location and a different network and ISP.  At one point, I got it to allow access tby the website, but it still didn't recognize the camera.  Reinstalled Flash Player and now back to square 1.
    Any idea what I'm missing?  Thanks.

    OK, I'm familiar with the VW. I didn't know Igor had switched to Mac.
    I get this when I try to open the bb uploader in Firefox:
    It is a static popup, meaning I can neither click allow or deny, nor can I close the window. Only option is to close the page itself. This on a MacBook Pro (late 2009 Unibody, 13" with built in iSight and Flash Player 10.0.45.2 (browser plugin).
    I'd have to say the trouble isn't with the MacBook, or with Flash, but Igor's software in the bb upload. My Vista machine with a Logitech, initializes immediately after I click Allow, which I can't even do with the Mac.
    As an aside, the VW does have the option to upload from your HD. You can simply take the pic using PhotoBooth, and upload it.
    Edit:
    I was able to initialize the bb uploader using Safari, and selecting USB Video Class Video in the advanced settings.
    Looks like it may be an issue with Firefox.

  • IMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized in Yosemite

    On this page
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2472
    iMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized
    it says:
    In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
    Select the file com.apple.mio.VDCAssistant.plist and delete.
    Restart your system.
    You should now be able to use your iSight camera with iMovie.
    However, in Yosemite, it only has this file name
    com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant.plist
    and I don't want to delete it as instructed without someone who knows telling me it won't hurt my newly installed and thus far working well OS 10.10.1, with iMovie 7.1.4 on my iMac 24 inch, Early 2008, 2.8 GHz Intel Dore 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2  SDRAM.  It worked with Leopard, and I don't recall having to use the above mentioned support page.

    Contact Apple. I believe you have a hardware issue there if it's not showing up in your System profiler.

  • Can't capture video using iSight camera in QuickTime 7.4 (92)

    OK, I see that there are plenty of "bugs" with Quicktime Version 7.4 (92), but I don't see the problem I am having, posted anywhere. Here goes...
    I cannot capture video using my [Firewire] iSight camera on my CoreDuo MacMini. I definitely used to be able to do this. When I go to File>New Movie Recording, I get a back/blank Movie Recording window and that's it. I click on the Red/Record button and nothing happens. The timer doesn't even advance. Just sits there. When I try to stop the recording, I get the following message:
    *"Recording failed because no data was received.*
    *Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing."*
    I can still capture audio, although had some problems and had to "downgrade" to version 7.3.x and subsequently reinstalled 7.4. Now the audio works but still no video.
    A few things:
    1. YES, the iSight camera works - I can use it in iMovie, iChat, Photobooth, etc. - for both video and audio.
    2. As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video.
    3. I re-installed Version 7.4 and the audio problems cleared up, but again, still unable to capture video.
    3. All software updates installed.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks!

    "As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video."
    See QuickTimeKirk’s posting in the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1357579&tstart=0
    Try the following:
    Trash com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
    It's located in your account:
    HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
    Delete the file, restart (a new .plist will be created) and quicktime hopefully will work again w/o doing an Archive & Install.
    +If you want to do an A&I:+
    Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
    IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
    Good luck!

  • How do I attach my iSight camera to my Apple Cinema Display?

    I've just bought two iSight cameras, and found nothing in the accessory kit with them that would allow me to attach the camera to my Apple Cinema Display. This is because the back of the Cinema Display is beveled rather than flat, so the flat base of the accessories won't set firmly.
    Does anybody have a solution for this?

  • How do I use my isight camera live?

    I have a 27 inch Imac. How do I use my Isight camera as a web cam? I have flashplayer 10, but it still won't work. Help?

    Software always operates webcams, so you need to find software applications that does what you want.
    Use your Mac's  > App Store... menu command to search for "webcam"
    (without quotation marks).
    You can also search for other terms like "video chat",  "video conferencing",  "video surveillance", etc.
    If you need other functions, some of the older apps in the list in this link are also still available:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
    BTW, Flash 10 is out of date for OS X 10.7.2.
      • You can find the latest Flash version that works with you system using this page:
          http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you update, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.  Then follow Adobe's instructions here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
    Be sure to uninstall your current Flash player before installing the new one.
    Repair permissions again immediately following installation of the updated Flash player.
      • Be aware that the current Flash Player Preferences can  be configured in your Lion Mac's  > System Preferences...    These settings may be blocking Flash on a system-wide basis.
      •  Individual Flash settings are still configured in the same way as older versions:

    The camera sees the card OK, but I don't know how to make it take an image.

    I don't think that you can do it with older MacBook's which have iSight cameras on them, the redeem by camera lists requirements as :
    Mac with a FaceTime camera (an Apple Display with FaceTime works too)
    I think that you will need to manually enter the card's code

  • IMovie 6.0.3 does not recognize built in iSight Camera on new iMac

    New iMac, Intel, OS 10.5.4, QT 7.5.
    Built in Camera works with Photo Booth, the new iMovie 7.1.3 and iChat.
    iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 does not recognize the camera. Opening a new project results in a No Camera Connected error. I have tried selecting various options in the video format drop down when creating a new project. I have repaired permissions, tried it under various users, removed the imovie plist, reinstalled imovie (both 6.0.3 and 6.0.4) without success. All 10 of the new computers are exhibiting this problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    That is not an option that I can select on the imac's. On my iBook under 10.5.4 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 or 6.0.4 I can click on the triangle next to the camera icon and select the built in iSight camera. On the new iMacs that does not work. The built in iSight is not listed as an option.
