No more iSight, so which Webcam can I  buy for Mac Pro tower?

I have a new Mac Pro tower with 23" Apple Cinema display.
I need to buy a FireWire web cam. Dosn't need mic as I have headset, but won't matter if mic is built in.
I wanted iSight, but Apple don't make them and they area expensive used (UK price used is £100).
Can anyone recommend a decent web cam for use with Skype and iChat AV?
Thanks.

What there were are at the bottom of this page http://homepage.mac.com/john_kenn/video.html
You may find someone still has them on the shelf.
You do realise that OS 10.4.9 and above will use a USB Video Class camera without drivers ? (They are now in the OS).

  • Which video card to buy for Mac Pro and AE CS3

    I am about to purchase a new Mac Pro and am curious which video card to buy - particularly when it comes to rendering speed.
    Apple offers the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 as a standard option, with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB of GDDR3 as a $150 BTO option.
    I primarily use AE CS3 using adaptive resolution in lieu of Open GL. The projects are very 3d intensive. My initial thought is that the NVIDIA card has more VRAM and would be a better pick - but would my $$$ be better off toward more RAM? Does using CS4 make a difference?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated. And yes, I have searched the forums but have not found anything definitive.

    Personally, I'd buy more RAM. The standard display card supplied with the Mac Pro will have perfectly good specs for AE and Prem Pro.
    Yes, CS4 should render faster than CS3.

  • 2008 Mac Mini - what webcam can I buy for this computer?????

    OMG help me. I have a 2008 Mac Mini - I need to skype and have tried a few webcams that either just don't work or there is no sound - I understand it nees to be the correct kind for mac... so what webcam can I use on this computer I've been researching for days and can't seem to find any definitive answers anywhere online.... what webcam can I buy for a mini mac 2008??

    Try this:
    http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Widescreen-Calling-Recording-960-000694/dp/B004FH O5Y6
    Works for me and Skype, anyway. 
    The microphone will have to be built-in to the camera and USB-connected - like the one above (and NOT a pink 3.5mm plug!)
    You also sure you're selecting the correct audio input on the webcams you've already tried?

  • Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?

    Can a shell for mac pro 13" be used with a mac pro Retina ?
    Thank you.

    No.
    The entire enclosure is tuned for both external jack placement, EMI-RFI radiation, airflow, and for cooling. You need exactly the correct shell and fans for the electronics you wish to install in it.

  • Can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

    can I buy a Mac Pro in the U.S., with a German keyboard?

    The Mac Pro Tower is NOT a laptop computer. It weighs 65 lbs, and holds four  full-size Hard Drives. It uses a detachable keyboard.
    US English
    Western Spanish
    French
    Japanese
    ... are readily available at the Apple Online Store, in wired and wireless.
    For German, you would have to call them and make special arrangements, or pick one up an additional keyboard when you get back home.
    This thing won't fit in your suitcase. Are you sure you want to pay to ship it home again? I would be tempted to sell it when you are leaving, and buy a new one at Home.
    A laptop would be a better choice. These are also available with the same four choices of languages (in all models) through the online store.
    You can make all the German characters and accents with the USEnglish keyboard, but some are two keystrokes.

  • Can I buy a Mac Pro in the States and then buy and register AppleCare in Australia?

    Hi,
    I  am going to buy a Mac Pro in the States but will be using it mainly in  Australia. Can I purchase and register Applecare for the Mac Pro in  Australia?
    Thanks.

    Would you incur a fiscal deficit, moreso, by registering a US purchased
    Applecare plan, or registering the same plan, bought in Australia?
    The AppleCare extended plan is nearly global, and could be bought
    nearly anywhere. Some users buy one in the USA, then travel to Japan.
    In some cases, the place where you buy the plan is cheaper than where
    you may be living afterward; so consider the national sales tax in Oz.
    Depending on where you buy the computer in the States, the plan can be
    added on and automatically enrolled at the same time. You could wait
    and buy the plan in Australia; at whatever currency rate and tax added.
    Is there any magic behind the method, man?

  • Which cables can I buy for my mini display port?

    Can I use these ?

    A VGA connector looks like this
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector
    DVI comes in several different types, but is larger with more pins
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
    For the sound, it depends on the HDTV. Some have a dedicated pair of red/white RCA connectors that go with the HDMI connector. Some have general audio input and you use an internal setting to tell the TV to use that input for audio. Such a setting is typically on the TV's on-screen menu somewhere. Analog input is typically a pair of RCA connectors, so you would convert from the mini-jack output of the iMac.

  • Where can I buy the Mac Pro 2013 motherboard? Just the motherboard

    So where can I buy JUST the Mac pro 2013 motherboard? If you can, please link it.
    Thanks!

    This is a User-to-User help site.
    Helpers get their rewards by helping.
    I know some good solutions to a lot of problems with Mac Pros. And other readers know a whole lot more solutions.
    I do not know of any problem that can be solved by replacing these boards in a nearly-new Mac Pro. The processor board is sold as a bare board, with no processors or heatsinks. It takes an hour of trained technician time just to install the processors and heat sinks, and you MUST get the correct parts or it will not work. If your technique is not correct, the processor(s) will self destruct when you power them up.
    The mainboard does not include the SATA connectors, which are actually on a wiring harness that is attached from behind.
    What problem are you trying to solve here?

  • Suggestion for a compatible hd logitech webcam or any other for mac pro..

    Please suggest me a hd webcam for my mac pro, as i want to use it for facetime video conferencing and many other things.. please help me!!!!

    (1) You have a choice of many Mac-compatible USB cam.  Some examples of current compatible cams are described at  http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/.
    (2) If you want a wireless cam, consider http://ecamm.com/mac/webcam/bt1/
    (3) OS X already has everything it needs for Mac-compatible cams.  I recommend that you not add any OS X software that comes with your chosen camera to your OS X Mac, at least until you have tested your new cam without adding anything.
    As OS X user Kurt Weber, who is using the Logitech C615 explains in this recent topic, the Logitech software is required in order to provide its HD images.  However. as user Dave Stowe reports in the same thread, the added third-party software can contribute unexpected effects on some systems.  Such possible interaction is the reason I do not recommend adding third-party software unless the image is not acceptable without it. 
    This added software caution applies only to Mac OS X.  For use with Windows® on a Mac, feel free to install any compatible Windows® software your external camera may need.

  • Which cable lock to buy for Satellite Pro P200?

    I have this laptop: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-P200-1K9/145669/
    In the specs it says there is a slot for a kensington cable lock, but under the compatible options tab I can't find a lock to buy.
    Searching generally on the Toshiba website for cable locks, none of them are listed as being compatible with my particular model.
    Can you help me find the right kind please?

    I am not 100% sure but such cables are not designed for each notebook brand separately and you should visit nearest PC store. I am pretty sure you will find this cable there.
    Ask your local dealer about this.

  • Which dual DVI video card for Mac Pro?

    We just got a Mac Pro at work with a single DVI port video card. Want to use 2 monitors, but don't want to order an incompatible card. Don't need screaming performance, just a stable setup for a sprawling desktop with some applications running low-res/low-frame-rate animation.
    One Evga card that looked like about the right specs was shown on MacMall's site as 'platform: universal' but the manufacturer's site specifed Windows and Vista. Called MacMall and tech support said it wasn't supported. So, now I'm suspicious.
    Anyone have a list of decent cards that will work? Would like to keep it at or under $100.

    You could just add an adapter, though not everyone is happy with that, for your 2nd port on the GT120.
    Could wait for Nvidia eVGA GTX 285 Mac Edition next month.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/EGVA/01GP31080TR/
    There is/was and should be 8800GT with nice specs and dual monitor support.
    Barefeats is a great resource of tests and benchmarks.
    This gives a good idea of what cards and what to expect:

  • Which model of Mac Pro Tower can take 64BG RAM?

    Hi everyone,
    Been searching and going around in circles to find the true answer to this so I figured I'd just make this post.
    EXACTLY which models of Mac Pro Tower can take 64GB of RAM. Looking on websites like OWC and asking people and I'm getting conflicting information and getting confused.
    THANKS!

    1. Yes.
    2. Yes; Apple doesn’t update its specifications when higher capacity RAM becomes available. A few models require more recent firmware versions and/or OSes installed to reach the actual limit.
