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

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:

Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync with BMW car's COMBOX

My recently purchased Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync works very well with the PC and TV. I bought it to connect to my BMW car's COMBOX interface which is designed to connect to Apple products.
It doesn't even power up and BMW fails to recognize iPod, same combox works well with the original usb sync cable which came with the iPod but that doesn't have AV out so can't play music and video to the head unit. I think this could be due to low power coming from the car's USB, am I right to think this? If yes what options have I got to fix this? Can I supply additional power to iPod?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm afraid that's to be expected in most cases, you need to turn your TV speakers off.

My Macbook Pro keyboard AND USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?

My Macbook Pro keyboard and USB keyboard will not work. However, the trackpad and USB mouse will work. Any help?
This is quite frustrating, since it randomly occured as I was browsing the web. It seemed to happen out of nowhere. I cannot login to my user account because I cannot type my password.
Any help will be appreciated.

If you have another Mac, boot the non-working one into Target Disk Mode (holding down "T" at startup). Hook up the two Macs via a Firewire cable. The non-working one will mount on the other Mac as an external Firewire HD.
Next, download the 10.5.6 Combo update from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
Run it. When it asks you for a destination, choose the other Mac that was mounted via Firewire. When it's done, unmount the computer and restart it. The keyboard and mouse should work now.

Which Macbook Pro should I buy for recording, making music and editing videos?

I really have a huge interest in music and editing videos and I want to make it as a part of my career so I want to start making some videos/music videos, etc. I have an iMac, but I share with my whole family, so I don't really have the time and I don't have the privacy that I need. I was thinking about buying a PC but that gets viruses easily unlike the Mac OS. I really hope someone could help me. I was thinking about the 13 inch Macbook Pro with Retina display (8GB Memory and 500+ Flash Storage). That's what I could afford right now.
Thanks.

Based on reports here and elsewhere, I'm not sure buying a Retina MBP is such a great investment of your money as Retina Displays make much higher demands on the systems... and provide a lower overall performance with CPU/Sub Systems intensive and timing reliant/critical applications such as Logic Pro X
While I understand the 'draw' of Laptops.. because of their portability etc... there are drawbacks that should be taken into account too.. and compared to a similar priced iMac/Mac Mini.... you get much better power/cost ration with an iMac/Mac Mini than you will ever get with a MBP....
Simply put you will spend roughly twice as much for a MBP compared to an iMac/Mac Mini to obtain the same performance... and while Retina does provide for a very good clear screen... the overheads that places on the systems of a MBP.. can often outweigh its real benefits when used with an App like LPX where Retina really serves no useful purpose/benefits....... especially for the extra cost.
Example..My nearly 3 year old 3.4Ghz i7 32GB iMac which cost less by some degree as my top of the range 2013 2.5 Ghz i7 16GB MBP with Retina.. 'smokes' the MBP so easily..... when using identical versions of LPX/LP9 under Mavericks.. Even my 2010 Mac Mini Server 2.0 Ghz 16GB gives the MBP a good run for it's money in comparision.. and that cost me less than $800 plus Monitor!
Note: This is just a personal opinion and should be viewed as such....

Macbook Pro Retina and Yosemite Video Corruption?

So I have a Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2012), 2.7ghz i7, 16gb ram, which has the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB video card and integrated video. I am running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10
I have been experiencing a lot of video corruption in different applications, it doesn't seem to be limited to just one application or two -- it is happening in Safari, Mail, Photoshop, and others.
I am attaching screen shots to show:
Here is a video when it decides to flash weird video garble:
Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8RAyj9L_nQ
Has anyone experienced this same problem? is there an official name or description for what is going on? Is there a fix? It is quite frustrating.

I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

Missing TCP/IP settings for iPhone tethering (Bluetooth and USB)

Is it just me or Apple has completely disabled the TCP/IP settings for BT and USB connections for iPhone tethering (and possibly any other mobile devices)?
I can now only set the IP addresses and DNS server. No Proxies or WINS settings tabs.
I have also noticed that if you setup a USB tethering connection in Leopard and upgrade to Snow Leopard, the settings are still available, but NOT if you make a clean install of Snow Leopard and create a new iPhone USB tethering connection.
I always use a SOCKS5 when I'm using my tethering connection for security and better/faster connection with my manual proxy server setup. I find the new "options" in SL very limited, not only for my usage.

I got this to work again (in fact, I'm tethered right now
Here are the steps I followed:
1) Upgraded to iTunes 9
2) Upgraded iPhone to OS 3.1
3) Removed device from Bluetooth Devices list on my MBP
4) Removed Bluetooth PAN from Network preferences
5) Restarted iPhone and MBP
6) Set-up iPhone as a Bluetooth Device on MBP
7) Enabled tethering on iPhone
8) Connected to iPhone network via the Bluetooth icon on my MBP menu bar
9) Verified that the blue "Internet Tethering" bar was on the iPhone
10) Manually added Bluetooth PAN to my MBP network preferences (connect show as yellow, "IP cannot be assigned" message)
11) Opened the Advanced pane and clicked the "Renew DHCP Lease" button
12) IP was assigned!
I'm not sure if the first two steps contributed to the solution or not, but these are the steps that worked for me.
Good luck to you all...

Optimal Hard Drive Configuration for Premiere Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

I am in the process of upgrading a workstation that is used primarily for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools to use the following Adobe CS5 products for production of promotional videos in HDV (and AVCHD for the web) as well as printed marketing materials for bands and musicians: Premiere Pro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator and Soundbooth.
Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application of the group, I have been studying the suggested hardware configurations on this forum with great interest, particularly HARM's suggestions (including his Generic Guideline for Disk Setup) to determine which hard drives to purchase and the optimal manner in which to configure them.
I am upgrading an HP Z800 with dual quad core 2.44 GhZ processors with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and an overclocked GeForce GTX 470. Without setting up a RAID configuration (which I cannot afford at the moment), I would like to use the 4 available HDD bays in the Z800 in the optimal manner for Premier Pro, using currently available drives. I am currently considering purchasing a 300GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the extended load times and demands placed on the drive by ProTools and the associated Waves plug-ins.
I would appreciate suggestions to improve my following plan: C (300GB WD VelociRaptor) for OS and Programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) for Media and Projects; E (1 250 GB WD Black Caviar) for Pagefile (approx. 18 GB) and Media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Black Caviar) for Previews, Exports and Pro Tools audio files.
I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and eagerly await your suggestions.
/Bill

I very much appreciate the responses to my email because I know that all of your time is valuable and that you have chosen to use some of that valuable time to help an unknown individual. This forum is remarkable because of the wealth of knowledge available and the willingness of so many to assist others.
I now wish to narrow my questions to save you time and so that I can get specific advice. I may not have not been clear that I have already upgraded to the HP Z800 with dual quad core processors and overclocked GTX 470, primarily for the improved performance it will provide in ProTools. My question now is how to optimize its performance for Premiere Pro CS5. Based upon my research, I am considering the following two upgrades, but I am open to other suggestions if they would provide better results at a similar cost
1. I am considering purchasing a 600GB WD VelociRaptor ( WD6000HLXH) for my C drive on which I would place OS (Windows 7, 64 Bit) and programs in an effort to reduce loading times of large programs. I have two questions: (1) Are members of the forum seeing a significant improvment in program loading times with the VelociRaptor because I am still not convinced that the price performance of SSD's justifies their use; and (2) There are so many models of VelociRaptors now that I want to be certain that I am purchasing the best version for my needs. In addition to the usual 10000 RPM speed, this model has 32MB Cache and a 3.5" form factor as well as a SATA 6.0GB/s interface (which I doubt my motherboard can take advantage of but it might extend the useful life of the drive with future configurations).
2. I currently have available for installation in the Z800 the following drives: (1) WD 2TB Black Caviar; (1) WD 1TB Black Caviar; (2) Hitachi 1TB. I believe that the Z800 can accept up to 5 SATA hard drives which I will have if I purchase the Velociraptor. Although I am reasonably knowledeable when it comes to hardware, I have never set up a RAID configuration. Therefore, it would be helpful if someone could recommend one of the various RAID configurations and brieflyexplain why it would seem to be best for my needs. I can then focus my research on understanding that one configuration.
I was planning to follow Scott's suggestion for my current 3 drives: OS and programs on C (WD 600 GBVelociRaptor), media and projects on D (WD 1TB Black Caviar), export files and Pro Tools files (all live musician tracks, no samples) on E (WD 2TB Black Caviar). However, I have been reading about the benefits of a RAID configuration so I am interested in further suggestions now that I have clarified my questions.
Thank you all for your help.

Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore, Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore

Looking for advice on Mac Pro with a dying video card. This the early Xeon dual core 3.0Ghz with an ATI Radeon X1900. Maybe the Nvidia Quadro 4500. I know there is s Quadro 4800 which I don't know if will will work with this older Mac Pro. Links and advice is appreciated.

Both cards will work with your computer although that's not stated on Apple's website. I'm using a 5770 in a first generation Mac Pro and it works quite well. I can't get the best performance from it because my MP only has PCI Express 1.0 slots.

For Macbook pro Retina and Macbook Air Users Please Help

Hi
i Want Ask Macbook pro Retina and Macbook Air Users how use this macs both ( Only how use both )
we sit many hours on laptop that will hurt our eyes
what the macbook less strain on eyes
what the best macbook screen not hurt our eyes
sorry my english is not good but i hope you understand me
i want only users how use the both of this macs
thank you

People are different. Not everyone experiences eye strain with an LED/LCD screen, or with a retina screen or any other kind of screen. Some people do.
So no one here can possibly say how you will feel using either one - everyone is different.
You need to find some display models or something and try them yourself and see what you like and how you feel using them. Anything anyone here has experienced is immaterial - all that matters is what you expereince and we cannot predict that for you.
I stare at computer screens all day long, and have done so for many, many years now. I've never had a problem with matte LCD, glossy LCD (like my MBP), CRT, plasma or page white. About the only problem I've ever had is occasionally dry eye, since everyone tends to blink less when concentrating on anything backlit for long periods of time. Simple artificial tears deals with that, and just learning to stagger regular breaks.

Real Time ADC/DAC for SMPS using Labview and USB

Hello all,
I have asked the sales department this same question, so here's a two-pronged approach:
I am reserching a control algorithm for a switch-mode power supply, and so far, the simulations for its performance look good. Now, the goal is to implement the circuit for experimental data.
I've seen several NI USB DAQ boxes that appear to have the performance I'm looking for (for example, the USB-6211 would have the resolution and sampling rate that I need).
The control algorithm uses the following math functions: add/sub/mult/div/exponent, and derivative/integral.
My question is this: is Labview "strong" enough to take in four channels of 250Ksps data, crunch the numbers in an equation, and spit out the answer to an analog out channel, all in REAL time? I'm looking for an analog output rate of ~100kHz.
Thank you for any suggestions that you have!
-Rick
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey,
So if you were just trying to perform an input or output then the USB-6211 would certainly be able to handle it because the hardware clock would be handling the input/output, not software. However, what you're wanting to do, basically a feedback system, will require software timing (at least for a USB device) because you'll have to be able to actively specify what the output is. So, for that reason alone, and the fact that you want 100kHz output, this device and USB devices in general won't be an option no matter what software you use, LabVIEW or otherwise. On another note, what you're looking to do sounds more like live updating, not Real-Time, which is more about jitter. Bottom line, for these kinds of requirements, you're going to need to move to an FPGA board, something like the NI PCIe-7841R would work. It's more expensive, but for your requirements, FPGA is going to be the only option and it comes down to bus latency as well as software response time. With FPGA, as is shown in the first diagram of the following document, you're basically closing your software loop through hardware.
