Photobooth greenscreen doesn't work with Logitech C615 Web Camera

I just installed a Logitech C615 HD web cam and I'm trying to use it with photobooth. While the video and sound records just fine when using most effects such as normal, dizzy, frog, blockhead etc., when trying to use any of the effects with moving backgrounds such as Eiffel Tower, Rollercoaster or Sunset, Photobooth says "Detecting Background" very briefly (less than 2 seconds).There is no time for the user to move out of the video for the greenscreen process to work correctly.
What you get is just a video of the Eiffel Tower, Rollercoaster etc, with out the web cam user showing up.
I have tried removing the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist file, but the problem still persists.
I have searched the Logitech web site and while the do mention some compatibilty issues, the problem I'm seeing with Photobooth doesn't seem to be one of them.
I'm currently running a Mac Mini 5,1 - i5 [email protected] - Mid 2011
8GB RAM / OS X 10.7.5
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

One or both of these may help you.
(1) Perhaps you installed some additional software on your Mac mini to control your Logitech?
If so, that software's driver may be overriding the Mac OS X webcam software and causing trouble with the "fixed focus and exposure and white balance" requirements for using Photo Booth's backdrops shown in http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5610
As one example, Logitech's http://tinyurl.com/ckfesn7 Troubleshooting page advises that their software may limit compatibility with some applications, Photo Booth included.
If you have installed any software beyond that automatically installed by OS X, follow the supplier's instructions on now to uninstall it, restart your Mac, and test again.
(2) Your problem can also be caused by small, even tiny, movement of your camera:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5607
Movement in the camera's background field of view, even air moving pictures or curtains behind you, can also cause this.
Make sure everything is absolutely still, restart, and test again.

Which of scanners works with browser as web camera with HTML5 API?

which of scanners works with browser as web camera with HTML5 API?

ntman,
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/Camera MDN Camera API Guide] and [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5 Web Guide MDN] are both articles to get you started. I am not an expert in this, but there is a developer community on stackoverflow.com that helps specifically with Developing in Firefox. It may require the use of AngularJS. However it is difficult to prevent users from downloading images that are on sites, but again stackoverflow.com would have some great ideas.

Why the jsp tag jsp:forward page="page.jsp" / works when i work with web server iPlanet in a Solaris machine and doesn't work with the same web server, in a Windows 2000 machine ?

The request parameters don't go to the "page.jsp"...

If someone else runs into this, here is how I solved the problem -
          If you create a PrintWriter object with the autoflush option, it
          doesn't flush the underlying buffer till you call println on it. I
          looked through the generated code for the servlet, and it was doing a
          JSPWriter.print() to output information.
          So, I changed the ResponseWrapper to keep a handle to the PrintWriter
          object, and then flush it in the filter, and that works.
          Why the same code behaves differently in JRun & Weblogic, I'm not sure

Ideapad s6000 not working with Logitech k400 wireless keyboard

My Logitech wireless keyboard/touchpad isn't working on my new Lenovo ideapad. Yes I am using an OTG cable but neither the cable or the keyboard are the problem as they work flawlessly with my Galaxy Note 2. Please help!

I have a Logitech MK360 which uses a Logitech Unifying receiver. It doesn't work with my Yoga 10", although it worked with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7". Several wireless mice (MS and generic) and a MS mouse/keyboard combo work fine with the Yoga.

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

What have you tried?
You are going to get nowhere quick with the 6.1 utility in Mountain Lion if this is the only OS you have available.
Look up how to install 5.6 utility under ML. At least then you can see printers. That is assuming you are trying to use USB.
Has this worked ever on Mountain Lion? Did you download the drivers for that printer for ML?
Plug it into a computer directly.. does it work? If it doesn't work locally it sure will not work via the network.

Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
Thank you!!!

The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5. My old android worked perfectly with my car. Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work. Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem. What is apple doing to fix this?

Going to the local Apple store this morning...
My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

Satellite M40-129: PCMCIA Card doesn't work with Linux

I have D-Link DWL-G650 with Atheros Chipset which is good supported under linux (madwifi). But if I boot Linux the card is not found. I tested the card with an Fujitsu Siemens Notebook and it worked out of the box!
Any idea why it doesn't work with my M40-129 ?

Hi
Like you know Toshiba doesnt support the Linux and there are no Toshiba drivers for the Linux OS but I was able to find this useful Toshiba page about the notebook configuration with Linux:

You should check the OS machine compatibility and the other areas.
Im sure you will find many useful tips.
Good luck

HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password. One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses. Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse. I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password. One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption. If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
There are two options:
stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.
