SL with VMFusion & WinXP-how to use iSight cam in Winxp

I was trying to follow directions for how to make isight camera work on windows side and got stuck where it talks about putting in(*it says Leopard, but I've updated from d/l to SL) CD as I did a DOWNLOAD/install of SL so where are the files kept? Here's the list and I wonder how to continue if file someplace on a download-see my questions next to[*]:
Insert the MacOS X Leopard disc in the DVD drive.
Open VMware Fusion.
Select the virtual machine running Windows and click Play.
Ensure that the CD drive is connected to the virtual machine.
From the Fusion application menu, click Virtual Machine > CD/DVD > Connect CD/DVD.
[*I started here]Connect the camera to the virtual machine. Click Virtual Machine > USB > Connect Apple Built-in iSight.
[*I did this]When the Found New Hardware wizard appears in Windows, click Cancel.
From the Windows desktop, open My Computer.
[*stuck here, D is CD drive, so where can I find the next DRIVERS from download?] Ctrl-click WindowsSupport (D:), then click Explore.
[*where is this on d/l?] Navigate to D:/Boot Camp/Drivers/Apple.
Double-click AppleiSightInstaller.exe.
Follow the onscreen prompts.
Click Finished. The Apple iSight camera is now ready for use.
----or if all of this makes no sense, does anyone having same hardware know how to make VMwareFuison(vs. 2.0.5-older vs)/winxp see my isight camera?
Thanks ahead for ALL help!
p.s.Reason: trying to find some program to do video chat from macbook to person on pc. I tried ichat, and have only visual(I can see and hear them, they can only see me), for some reason after snowL.upgrade sound doesn't work in ichat.(all volumes up, sound settings checked);I tried AIM on windows side thru VMWareFusion/winxp and can't find my isight cam.

The Boot Camp drivers are located on the SL DVD, but they are only accessible from within Windows. If you open Boot Camp Assistant and print out the documentation that may help you get an idea of what's required for Windows when booted directly rather than through the VM. And you might reread whatever information you were using to be sure you got the instructions right.
But the Apple Discussions is a user-to-user help site for Apple products. There is no help forum here for VM Fusion. There is a forum for Windows and for Boot Camp. But your question is unrelated to OS X and unrelated to Installation and Setup of OS X. Therefore, you should either post in the Windows forum here or go back to the VMWare site to look for help.

How can i use isight camera to broadcast to web with Mac OS 10.4?

I am using an iBook G4 running OS 10.4 as a printer server. I have to do this to be able to print on my HP DeskJet 882c printer from computers running OS 10.6 and above (although I have not been able to get it to work with 10.8).
I can connect an iSight camera to the iBook via FireWire. Can I set that up to broadcast a video feed to a web site so I can visually monitor the area near the laptop and printer?

You could use compatible older versions of QuickTime professional extensions for your Mac OS X version.
This professional quality software is very powerful, and it will certainly stream any video you need. However, it is not simple to use, so be prepared to do some research and study to get it configured and working.
To use your iBook with its OS X 10.4, you will need QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.3
and Darwin Streaming Server (v5.5.5) (if you need streaming server functions.)
Although I have never used it, QuickTime Streaming Server 4.1.1 might be a useable substitute for Darwin.

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.

I just downloaded a Karaoke file and now I don't know what to do with it or how to use it.
I'm very new at the whole i-tunes idea and would consider myself a total amature!!

All I'm really looking for is a way to sing karaoke songs at home as a rehearsal in case I go out sometime.
I thought the iTunes version would have lyrics or that I could move it with lyrics into a Karaoke program that I downloaded.
Alas, this is beginning to seem like an impossibility.

Hi,
Do you mean Window Live Messenger or it's Mac equivalent MSN for Mac ?
Actually the app comes with Office
In the Microsoft Office X (2001 version) it was still called MSN Messenger
In Office 2008 it was called Microsoft Messenger.
The current one that can also be downloaded as a standalone app also comes with Office 2011 is also called Microsoft Messenger.
This is version 8 and this version is the only one that can Video Chat as a standalone app.
Version 7 required you were in a mixed environment (with PCs) connected to the correct sort of Windows Server.
This page may help you further.

Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

Very very weird,
it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
Can anyone help?
I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
Andrea

Issue Fixed.
BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
The fix has been:
upgrading OSX to Lion
Patch to latest release
Go To Boot Camp Assistant
Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
Reboot into Windows 7
Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
Reboot
Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

Can't capture video using iSight camera in QuickTime 7.4 (92)

OK, I see that there are plenty of "bugs" with Quicktime Version 7.4 (92), but I don't see the problem I am having, posted anywhere. Here goes...
I cannot capture video using my [Firewire] iSight camera on my CoreDuo MacMini. I definitely used to be able to do this. When I go to File>New Movie Recording, I get a back/blank Movie Recording window and that's it. I click on the Red/Record button and nothing happens. The timer doesn't even advance. Just sits there. When I try to stop the recording, I get the following message:
*"Recording failed because no data was received.*
*Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing."*
I can still capture audio, although had some problems and had to "downgrade" to version 7.3.x and subsequently reinstalled 7.4. Now the audio works but still no video.
A few things:
1. YES, the iSight camera works - I can use it in iMovie, iChat, Photobooth, etc. - for both video and audio.
2. As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video.
3. I re-installed Version 7.4 and the audio problems cleared up, but again, still unable to capture video.
3. All software updates installed.
Any ideas???
Thanks!

"As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video."
See QuickTimeKirk’s posting in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1357579&tstart=0
Try the following:
Trash com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
It's located in your account:
HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
Delete the file, restart (a new .plist will be created) and quicktime hopefully will work again w/o doing an Archive & Install.
+If you want to do an A&I:+
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
Good luck!

Anyone know's how to make isight camera take snapshot for failed login attempts ?

I want my macbook pro to take pictures with the isight camera when someone has a failed login attempt ; anyone know of any programs and or apps ? I've searched all over & even called apple support and no luck.
Thanks !

If I want to count the number of failed login attempts what might be the best course of action?
Off the top of my head I figure I could:
Have a session variable that counts up to number X
Have a cookie variable
Insert the users IP address into a database table for each failed attempt and when the form loads I check to make sure there aren't X number of strikes in the last 30 minutes.
A combination of those might be a good idea. Most hackers are, luckily, amateurs with one-track minds. Create a database table to log failed login attempts. For every failed attempt, log at least the datetime, IP, sessionID, username (which should be unique on your site), reason for failure and failure count.
In a query following a failed login, verify whether the IP, sessionID or username match any in the failed_login table, and, if so, whether the current datetime is within, say, 12 hours of the last failed login. If yes, increment the failure count by 1. If no, insert a new row in the table.
Use client-friendly messages to inform your visitors why their login fails. Study failed logins for common patterns. It just might be that you are the culprit, and that you have to improve your login design. There is one good reason for doing all that. Then you will know that those in your failed_login table really had it in for you.
If your site traffic is high, then consider archiving old data. Throw nothing away!

How to buy iSight camera?

I have a 30" Apple Cinema HD display with no iSight camera. For some reason, I can't find an iSight camera for sale at the Apple Store. Do you have to buy a new computer to get the iSight?

You may want to check Craigslist also. I just purchased one, in the box, with all accessories, for $85.00. If you read the reviews on Amazon for the Logitech's Mac camera, you may find it's not the best solution. Higher res isn't everything... Also, the iSight uses FW which will give you more bandwidth.
Just a thought... I just went through the same process and decided on the real thing and have been very happy with it. It works with everything, and has great image and sound.

How to use the cam as a web cam

How could i use the cam , which is already installed in the mac book pro as a web cam ?

To talk to people?
The iChat application will allow that.
If you have a .mac account, then you can use that as your ichat user id and password, otherwise you can also use AIM - go here to create a user id and password and then enter them into iChat (remember to specify that it's an AIM account)..
https://reg.my.screenname.aol.com/cqr/registration/initRegistration.psp?lang=en&locale=us&createSn=1&sitedomain=ww w.aim.com&siteState=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aim.com%2Fgetaim%2Fcongratsd2.adp&mcAuth=%2FBcAG0dPhpgAAPd%2BA%2F8ZYUdPhtQIH1rLc92KTAoAAA%3D% 3D
If that link doesn't work, then go to www.aim.com and click the button which says "get a screen name"
Once done, anyone who has a .mac or AIM id can enter your user id and chat with you.
Hope that helps.
Best of luck.
PS - iChat is the application with the speech bubble icon.
