Second iSight on my Mac Book Pro possible ?

Hi!
I'd like to buy an old iSight external camera and connect it to my MacBook Pro. But The MacBook Pro already has an iSight camera.
Will it work ?
How will I select which camera will be used ?
Many thanks for your help.

It will work. Generally speaking, your application will provide you with a way to select which camera is used.
However, if you already have a camcorder at home with a FireWire port (also known as "iLink", "ieee1394", or "DV Video" output), then you can use that as an alternative. Simply plug in the camera, turn it on to camera mode, and after 30 seconds or so it should also show up as a video source.
Some models of digital still camera will also work.

    Hello, I have an Apple TV, and a Mac Book Pro X Lion 10.7.5 bought it on March 2012. But there is no AirPlay how is it possible? Where do i get it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus).  How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
    If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
    Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Is it possible to connect a mac book pro via thunderbolt and a dvi switchbox (multiple computers) to a thunderbolt display?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to buy a thunderbolt display.Since I have not only apple computers with a thunderbolt port I wonder if it's possible to connect my mac book pro via thunderbolt and a DVI switchbox via a "mini displayport to DVI connector" to the thunderbolt display at the same time. Thunderbolt is a bus architecture. Thus there must be an ingoing and an outgoing port on the display. The rearview of the display I've seen so far don't show this:
    If this is not possible then I must question the market chances of this product. Seems as if the product marketing guys exaggerated the launch of the thunderbolt technology.

    How to connect windows laptop (vga) to thunderbolt display?
    AHHH??!!!!!!  Was that your original question??   I assumed you were trying to output FROM your computer (MacBook Pro w/ Thunderbolt) to the new display and then OUT to be the video source to a DVI switcher.
    MB Pro w/TB ---> TB Display ---> mDP-to-DVI adapter ---> DVI switcher
    So it seems as if it's not possible to use the thunderbolt display with the mini display port adapter to DVI you've mentioned.
    I did not understand that you were trying to use other PC's into a switcher and then THAT Video source to connect INTO the TB display.   If THAT is what you're trying to do, then NO....  You can NOT use the new TB Display to be used to display "FROM" a DVI switcher (and also can NOT be used to display from other Non-TB-Apple computers).
    I've also called apple. The statement was that one needs a computer with osx 10.6.x in order to connect the thunderbolt display. That makes it impossible to hook a windows pc or older mac to the new and shiny thunderbolt display.
    I wonder why apple doesn't state this in their technical descriptions...?
    -ais-swiss
    Actually, the state that information all over the Tech Specs on the Apple Store website.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC914LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Here are two different statements from that webpage:
    So yes.... other NON-Apple PC's (or non-TB devices) do Not have the Thunderbolt technology (hardware/software) to be able to communicate with the TB display or other TB devices.

  • I have a 13" mac book pro with a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put in a larger one is this possible

    I own a Mac book Pro 13" it has a 250 gb solid state drive and I would like to put a larger one in is this possible.

    You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
    If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
    You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
    I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

  • Mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up.

    my mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up. Any ideas what is wrong?  Removed and re installed memory, that did not work.         
    Thank You   ecbrum

    If you're handy with tools, pop the bottom pan on the Mac, take out the RAM sticks, thoroughly clean the contacts on both the sticks and the Mac (blow clean with a compressed air duster on the Mac, use isopropyl alcohol on the contacts on the RAM sticks), reseat and reinstall the sticks and retry. If same, try swapping the RAM sticks. If you need pictorial assistance, see here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+RAM/ 4319/1

  • How can i make magic bullet looks recognize my second graphic card in my mac book pro 2009

    how can i make magic bullet looks recognize my second graphic card in my mac book pro 2009

    That model MBP gives you a choice of cards to use – one at a time. it is not designed for them to run in tandem - splitting up the workload.

  • If possible can i show todays date on my mac book pro screen?

    if possible can i display todays date on my mac book pro's screen

    I use my Date&Time in the MenuBar to show day-of-the-week and time with AM/PM, and flashing time separator as a check against system hangs.
    If the Calendar application is showing in the Dock, it will display the number of today's date in its Icon. As far as I can tell, you do not need to have EVER run Calendar to have it automatically update its Icon from the default 17 to the current day-number.

  • Is it possible to buy an apple monitor for a mac book pro version 10.7.5 with Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    is it possible to buy an apple monitor for a mac book pro version 10.7.5 with Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    Look at the Apple menu's, "About This Mac," and then press "More Info" button, to identify your Mac model beyond just, "MacBook Pro."
    example:
    LED Cinema Display:
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X v10.6.4 or later
    Mac computer with Mini DisplayPort, including MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, Mac mini, and iMac

  • I have a mac book pro i want to have another monitor added and open garageband with 2 projects open is this possible.

    I have a mac book pro I want to use 2 monitors and have garageband open with 2 projects is this possible?

    GarageBand can open only one project at a time.  Project are treated differently from audio files; you can have many audio files open in QuickTime or other audio players, but GarageBand will always close the current project when you open a new one.
    If you have the newest GarageBand 10.0 and the previous version, GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can open one project in GarageBand 10.0 and one project in GarageBand '11.
    However, you cannot drag and top between the windows or transfer media. And once a project has been converted to GarageBand 10 format, it can no longer be opened by GarageBand '11.

  • Since installation of a new hard drive on my mac book pro, clicking is now very difficult as I have severe arthritis in my hands.  Is it possible to alter the pressure required?

    Since having a new hard drive installed on my Mac Book Pro it has become very hard to click since I have severe arthritis in my hands.  Is it possible to have the pressure required reduced to make it more comfortable?

    I don't think there is any adjustment for that. The battery is under the trackpad. Did you have the HDD replaced at an Apple repair facility?
    You may want to ask them to look at it and explain that it is harder press than before, maybe the battery is not nested correctly.
    Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts which may help to reduce the amount of clicking that you have to do.
