Quickcam for notebooks pro. mac compatible?

I just bought a macbook pro and still learning to use this machine as I switched from a windows based notebook. I understand that the macbook pro has a built in cam (isight) but it's very inconvenient that you cant change the position of the cam. really wanted to know if I can use my logitech quickcam for notebooks pro on it. Any info pls? thanks in advance.

Hello invulnerable_0916
Your quick cam for notebooks pro will work with your Mac OS X (10.6.1) equipped macbook pro if it is Logitech Part/Number 861303 (USB/PID 08CB).
One of the improvements added by Mac OS X 10.4.9 was support for USB Video Class (UVC) webcams. Therefore, any Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later can use any "UVC" webcam. However, not all USB connected webcams meet the UVC standard.
Per this Logitech page, QuickCam for Notebooks Pro comes in two different versions. Only the newer version identified above is UVC compliant and will work seamlessly with current Macs.
If your quick cam for notebooks pro is the older version of quick cam for notebooks pro, Logitech Part/Number 861209 (USB/PIDnbsp;08C3), it is not "UVC" compliant and does not work with Mac.
For more info on the UVC subject, see this thread:

  • Quickcam for Notebooks pro (new) and USB Video

    Hi,
    I have a new Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks pro camera, that supports
    the USB Video standard (as far as I know, at least the cameras id is mentioned
    on the USB Video for Linux driver at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ )
    As I read on the Apple USB Mailinglist, Tiger supports this standard. But unfortunately my camera isn't recognized as camera, just as generic USB device with the following ids:
    Produkt-ID: 0x08c3
    Hersteller-ID: 0x046d
    Does someone know, how this camera can be made working or has someone
    a USB Video standard conforming camera running on tiger 10.4.5?
    I know, there are two USB Webcam drivers, but they both don't support USB Video, as this support is built in with tiger, and neither one of them is working for me.
    Regards,
    Michael.

    I'd blame Apple for the lack of webcam support on Mac OS X. The software Apple makes that takes advantage of webcams (such as iChat) is only coded to use Firewire cameras. I assume they do this since they don't want any competitors to their iSight ($149).
    The manufacturers that have made USB webcams with Mac OS X drivers (such as http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2204,CONTENTID=710 5) probably haven't had much success selling them since iChat and other Apple programs won't be able to use them even with the drivers.
    If Apple allowed non-Firewire cameras to work with their programs, I think that would give manufacturers more incentive to make their webcam products work with Mac OS X. I really wish Apple would change their stance on this since lack of hardware support is one of the major disadvantages of Mac OS X over Windows. There is even a petition here for this: http://www.petitiononline.com/iChatUSB/petition.html

  • Logitech Quickcam for notebook pro

    hello,
    So i just got this new Logitech quickcam for notebooks, and it says it is MAC compatible, but the unit won't even power on. Whats wrong???

    Maybe it's a problem with the camera?

  • 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:
    Logitech QuickCam for NoteBooks PRO (New Version)
    Important Note: Logitech Compatibility Information
    The following Logitech QuickCams are currently available in two versions. Only the newer version is Mac-compatible (UVC compliant) (Unless otherwise noted.).
    * QuickCam for NoteBooks PRO
    * QuickCam Orbit MP/Sphere
    * QuickCam PRO 5000
    * QuickCam Ultra Vision
    * QuickCam Fusion
    Identifying the newer revision cameras:
    The new models are labeled with the "Works with Windows Vista" logo, and also feature "RightLight 2" as one of the features.
    Part Number (P/N): The compatible model/part numbers are listed on our camera guide. Unfortunately, the part number can only be found by opening the box.
    Logitech provides the following table showing the new vs. old camera models. The cameras marked as "UVC Supt" are Mac-compatible.

  • How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

    I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot.  Problems with both WD and Seagate.  I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks.  I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive.  Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive.  I was able to partitian in disk utility.  Anything ringing a bell.  I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble.  I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there.  In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac. 

    Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

    How did you install Mavericks on the new drive?

  • Any options for a non-mac-compatible printer?

    My Samsung ML-1710 printer is not Mac-compatible (says so clearly on their website). No other options? Just throw my printer out the window and get a new one?

    For what (very!) little it is worth, Samsung used to supply OS X compatible drivers for the ML-1710, but they could be hard to find. I own a 1710 & found a driver that worked well with OS 10.4 Tiger at SAMSUNG's Digital World - Support, although it was released in 2004 & listed as supporting 10.3.
    The basic problem seems to be that Samsung used a proprietary printing language ("SPL," for Samsung Printer Language) in the 1710 & some of its other low end laser printers & although the Mac drivers for this were supposed to be CUPS compatible, they were not compatible with CUPS support in later Mac OS versions. Samsung USA never officially supported these drivers (which is why you had to get them from an international Samsung website).
    The details are fuzzy in my memory but as I remember it, this "SPL2.5" driver also worked with my G5 iMac when it was first upgraded to Leopard 10.5 & even worked when the ML-1710 was connected to my Airport Extreme 802.11n, but after applying one of the later 10.5 updates (10.5.6 ?) it quit working with the Airport. I never got around to seeing if the same was true for a direct USB printer connection to the G5 & I have not tried using this driver with Snow Leopard or with Leopard on any of my Intel Macs, but I doubt it will work.
    Eventually, I'll try the solution mentioned by Matt Broughton & try to post my results here, but this is not a high priority for me since I now use a nice Canon MP-620 color inkjet for my (very limited) printing needs.

  • Suggestion for a truly Mac-compatible webcam?

    I'm not sure which is the best group for this, so here goes. I need a wireless (wifi 802.11g) network camera, which I will access from a Mac. A number of cameras rated highly on-line don't actually work with Mac because they need an ActiveX control (only available on Windows with Internet Explorer) or need a PC for the initial setup. Can someone recommend a good network camera that doesn't need any PC involvement?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    Ok, I can provide you with a better answer than linking to a Google search.
    Look for a camera with similar features to the isight.
    CCD sensor has a 640×480-pixel VGA resolution. Autoexposure, autofocusing from 50 mm to infinity, and video capture at 30 frames per second in 24-bit color with a variety of shutter speeds. Internal microphones with dual-element noise suppression.
    Like these cameras:

    You can also use Logitech cameras using Macam drivers.

  • Reccomendation for a Leopard Mac compatible modem Stick

    I am a new MacBook lover and I am slowly but surely getting everything I require setup on my new machine. One of my final challenges is to find a descent Modem stick that I can purchase that is compatible with my Mac. Vodafone say that theres can be made to work but that it is not officially compatible. They would be my preference as I already have a contract with them, although if requireds I could get a pay a you go device with another surplier, any help to resolve greatly appreciated. Lets see if Mac assistance is as good as my new toy.

    I don't know about the UK - but the Vodafone mobile stick is officially supported on OS X in Australia: http://www.vodafone.com.au/help/mobilebroadband/internetstick/index.htm
    I can't see any reason why it would be different over there!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Are IntelliPoint Pro 6.1 for MAC and IntelliType Pro 6.1 for MAC compatible with Mac OS 10.6?

    These arent compatible with Mac OS 10.6.7.

  • Ati radeon hd 4870 for 1st generation mac pros?

    unfortunately the ati radeon hd 4870 is working for all mac pros except the first generation: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=NDE4NDMxOA
    are there any other graphics cards that have a mini displayport connector and are compatible with a mac pro first generation?
    thanks for the help!

    The information on the AMD/ATI site actually says the 4870 has lower power requirements than the 3870.
    The PCIe power limit of 300W is the same for the 2008 Mac Pros as the 2007 8-core Clovertown Mac Pro. Power is not an issue. EFI appears not to be an issue either as Rob's tests have shown.
    Can anyone give a logical or technical reason why the 4870 is not being made available to 1st Gen Mac Pros like the 3.0 GHz 8-core. I can't think of anything.
    Surely Apple aren't restricting this cards use in an effort to persuade users to upgrade? Are they?

    I would like to know if my MACPRO Mid 2010 (5,1) it is compatible with NVIDIA FX 4800 for mac or NVIDIA 4000
    thank you

    Apple no longer lists it, Nvidia web site though:
    Go to • About This Mac
    Click on the • More Info button
    Select • Hardware
    The model identifier should be MacPro3,1 or MacPro4,1 (2008 or 2009) or later

    And if you are going to spend say $798 for Q4000 (Amazon, Mac Pro version) maybe wait and see but 10.7.4 support for a GTX 570 2.5GB might do a better job even where Quadro use to (due to drivers, not hardware itsself)
