Photo Booth and Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000

I had this working in Tiger 10.4.10 and I can get the camera to do video in iChat but not in photo booth (or iMovie). It just says camera off.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

I have a similar problem with my Creative Live! Video IM Pro. (VF0410). It is a UVC camera, and it works in iChat, but displays a very messed up image in Photo Booth and QuickTime Pro. This is on my PowerMac G4, running 10.5 (I just bought the camera, so I never tested it under Tiger)

Photo Booth and Logitech Vision Pro

Hi there
I bought a Logitech Vision Pro Quick Cam since it is said to be compatible with OS X.
It works fine on my mac with Skype, but both Photo Booth and iMovie won't recognize the camera.
iChat on the other hand will work. I contacted Logitech and they were of no help.
All they said was that since they don't program the drivers, it's not their fault (the camera is working with Skype).
Any suggestions how to get Photo Booth (and iMovie) to recognize my Vision Pro?
Thanks
Mat

Hummm,
Lid closed => gives external cameras only does seem sensible.
If open => All cameras in iChat (And whichever was or was not plugged in for Photo Booth) However this only applies to Photo Booth if Started after the camera is Plugged in.
Certainly the last applies to Firewire cameras.
Currently I have a problem with Photo Booth on my MacBook Pro which I have only just discovered trying to replicate this.
The Camera is defaulting to only the Internal iSight and also not displaying properly. (it works in iChat)
IF you are going to have the Lid closed why do you want the iSight to be used ?
I can understand that the closed Lid will disable the iSight and therefore change your Settings
Does it in fact revert when the iSight can be used again ?
I can only see that this is likely to be only done when the Lid is Open.

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000
This is a great cam, and now supported through the use of the UVC standard, but the most FPS I get out of it is around 5 frames per second....It's capable of up to 30 though.
I tried recording a video through the quicktime player in high definition. It defaulted to 1600x1200, and I still only 5fps. So my guess is that iChat is using the highest resolution setting and scaling it down to 320x240.
Any ideas?

I just bought this camera from Best Buy for my mother for Christmas.
I tried it out on my PM G5 (which already has an iSight plugged in) and I was BLOWN AWAY by the picture quality as my wife and I tested out the iChat AV video chat features with this and my MacBook's built in iSight.
So next I tried it out on my iBook 900mhz G3. Making sure that I was up to 10.4.11, I plugged it in andI thought everything was good.... at first. I got a picture but it was much smaller and surrounded by a black border. When I initiated a video chat that's where I saw a problem with the webcam connected to a G3 iBook. Whenever there was any motion on the cam we got a lot of pink horizontal distortion bars on screen. After pondering it I firmly believe it has to do with the G3 processor. When I hook it up to my mother's G4 eMac, I will let you guys know if that fixed it. Granted if you think about it, back when iChat AV first came out, in 2003 you could hook up a digital camcorder to a G4 but not a G3 and use that as your web cam.
But to all those out there that maybe are graphics pros with Power Mac G5's or Mac Pro's and need a web cam, I have to recommend this camera! My wife and I are seriously thinking about putting our iSight up on eBay and getting the going rate of $200 for it and replacing it with one of these Pro 9000's. Not a bad investment in 2003 when I bought it though huh?!

Installation of Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 on iBook G4 (MAC OS X 10.3.9)

Hi iBook friends,
I am writing from Munich, Germany. I just got my first webcam and I am a bit lost...
I got the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 and I have no idea how to install it...
Can somebody give me a hand?
Thank you very much!

Hi, this is a relatively good webcam but on a Mac, some of the features will not function without software. First of all, the software for this cam is written for PC only, but the camera will operate pretty well without it.
You will need to upgrade to OS X 10.4.9 or higher, or download and install "ichatUSBCam" at this link... http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12294
10.4.9 and 10.4.10 will recognize the cam natively.
All the cool features like snapshots, auto-focus, face tracking, etc... will not be available without the PC only software. I contacted Logitech about the auto-focus not working and they told me that the Pro 9000 has internal hardware that requires software control.
I have found the focus to not be a problem as almost everything is in focus anyway.
This cam is very sharp, very high resolution and auto-exposure and color balance seem to work great.
Hope this helps,
Pete

Logitech quickcam pro 9000 - it was bad, but I made it worse!

Hi all,
I just got the logitech quickcam pro 9000, which is made for windows. I plugged it in, unable to install the windows drivers, and it worked, but was very low quality, and was transmitting very few frames per second.
Since I could not find and mac drivers for this version of this camera, I tired installing the drivers for the quickcam pro 4000. Now my camera seems even worse. When I try to bring it up in Skype it takes so long to load I force quit Skype just to get out of the Skype Preferences, and if I do bother to wait, it gives like one frame per 3 or 4 minutes. I tried uninstalling the quickcam pro 4000 drivers, but nothing seems to have changed.
Does anyone know how I can get it back to normal? (Or even better, closer to what this camera actually has potential for as far as quality?)

I pluged it in with out driver and it worked. Both on skype and ichat

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 not available for use in iMovie 08

I have a Logitech Quickcam pro 9000 which works great in ichat, and skype. I can record with it using Quicktime (although the framerate really is slow) but for some reason the camera is not available in the pick list when I click on the camera icon in imovie 08. Is this a bug? Should imovie 08 be able to detect my camera?
thanks!

Macbook and logitech quickcam pro 4000.

Hi everyone.
So currently, i'm trying to use my logictech quickcam pro 4000 (an old logitech webcam) with my mac to make stop motion movies. I have a white Macbook from 2008.
So when I try to capture video, none of the programs recognize the webcam, meaning there is no live feed from my webcam. The only capture devices the programs recognizes is the built in isite. I tried FrameTheif, iStopMotion, and BTV and when I go on iMovie it doesn't recognize my webcam at all. I installed the drivers for it to work with Mac OS X.
However, when I open "logitech quick capture" software, i'm able to get a video feed from the webcam.
Is it something caused by the iSight camera built in?

That software is very very old. It was probably written for OS X Panther or maybe even for Jaguar. It's unlikely that the software will be of any help for a machine running Leopard.
Do you have Windows installed on that computer? If not and you don't have a copy of Windows you can use, you could try installing the Windows 7 release client and try using the webcam under Windows 7.
Overall, I think you'll need to get a newer camera to do what you want.

Flash Player for Leopard and QuickCam Pro 9000

I am trying to use a LogiTech QuickCam Pro 9000 with a chat
room that uses Adobe Flash Player, and I am running Leopard on my
MacBook Pro. The Pro 9000 camera has much nicer quality than the
Built-in iSight, and I can use it on a non-iSight equipped
PowerBook as well.
Is there anyway to make this work?
Does Adobe have plans to add Flash Player support for the
Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 for Mac?

JMF crashed with Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebook using latest driver.

JMF crashed with Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebook using latest driver
I can't register the webcam in JMF. WinXP crashed with Blue-screen-of-dead.
The crash occurs on installation of JMF when the installer tries to detect my capture devices.
Windows also crashes when i open the JMF Registry Editor and tell it to search for my capture devices.
I use a QuickCam Pro for Notenooks with driver version 11.80.1065.0000 on Windows XP with JMF 2.1.1e.
PS: I can use JMF to connect to other brand's webcam.
So, how to solve it?

So, how to solve it?JMF apparently doesn't work with that camera...so if you want to install JMF, you should unplug your Logitech cam. If that doesn't work, uninstall it.

Using Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks with Mac..

Can I install the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks(new version) on my G4 Powerbook(OSX 4.11) ? I have read several posts from Mac people saying that this is possible BUT is there a CD included with the installation AND does that CD only work for the PC software ?
Would like to know before purchasing....
Thanks

I read Logitech's data page on this cam but it does not mention anything about Mac compatible although the info I saw from some Mac people suggested that that might be some silent agreement between them and the PC people.....
Here's the article I read under: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html scrolled down to the Logitech data and found this under the QuickCam Pro for Notebooks:

Thanks Me.

How do I delete photo booth from my macbook pro?

I'm deleting some unneeded applications from my new Macbook Pro. I have been successful with most and all of them that are not required as part of the OS system. However, there are other apps that are more difficult to remove as I was able to go into Utilities and Terminal and type in some other specific applications that I wanted to remove (like Stickies, Chess, etc.). However, one I am having trouble deleting is Photo Booth. I also want to disable the webcam so I cannot even activate it by mistake. Can someone tell me how to do that?
I was successful in removing all of the icons other than Finder, Safari and Trash from the bottom of my screen now that I have deleted everything else and it is much cleaner.
Thank you!

Here's an app that supposedly will disable your isight. Says it works in Lion, maybe it will work in ML too: Download iSight Disabler for Mac - Quickly turn on/off your USB iSight. MacUpdate.comhttps://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23346/isight-disabler
Here's a thread with several possible solutions for disabling the isight: Is there a way to turn off and On the...: Apple Support Communities
And here is a page with a Terminal command for deleting Photo Booth: How to Delete Safari, Mail, FaceTime, Photo Booth, and Other Default Mac OS X Apps
As a general rule, however, removing system software is a bad idea.
If you're really paranoid about the camera, then a little piece of tape over the lens would do the trick!

Before I buy the newer version, will the Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 work with my Power Mac G5?

This camera should work with iChat;

You'll have to update and keep in mind it doesn't work in iMovie or Photobooth.

Logitech quickcam pro for notebook (black)

Does anybody know if logitech quickcam pro for notebooks work in mac osx 10.4.4?

Mark offers the succinct version. I, on the other hand..... What a long answer I am going to give to such a simple question!
As explained in iSight versus DV Camcorder or other web-cam, the answer to your question really depends upon the software you will use to drive the LOgitech QuickCam® for Notebooks Pro.
Your Mac can use webcams for many different applications. To be certain of success, check the system requirements and list of supported cameras for the application(s?) you intend to use. If you still have questions, contact the application software developer and ask him directly.
For instance, if you plan to use your webcam with iChat AV for video chat, you will see that Apple's Mac OS X 10.4: iChat AV system requirements call for a FireWire-based camera for video chat. However, a third party add-on called iChatUSBCam can allow the use of many USB cameras with iChat.
QuickCam® for Notebooks Pro is listed as one of those supported cameras on iChatUSBCam's camera guidepage, provided you use an additional Driver available from one of the two sources linked there.
If you have difficulty finding info about some other application, try searching Logitech's Product Support site for your camera choice and the Search Text "Mac" (without the quotation marks).
The search at Logitech's Product Support may answer your question. For instance, I checked for iPhoto compatibility and found this Answer:"Only the Logitech Pocket Digital 130 will work with iPhoto. This is because the Pocket Digital 130 actually acts as a storage drive with images saved on it. Our other web cameras do not function like that. They stream the images through the camera but they don't store them.
"To work around this, simply take a picture with your web camera and use our Quickcam software to save the picture to your system. You can then open the file in iPhoto and edit or use any other features to change the file."If you are still having difficulty, you can search Logitech's Product Support FAQs or their Knowledgebase, visit Logitech's own dedicated User Discussion Forums, or even email your question directly to Logitech for an official answer.

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.
