USB Camera - Works in Photobooth - Need help in iChat

I have an iSight at home, and I want to occasionally video chat with my wife and new child at home. I have an EyeToy Camera from the PS2, and it works on Leopard with Photobooth - but it's not being detected in iChat.
Any tips on how I can make it work? I have a license for iChatUSB - but I'd like to avoid third party if it's possible, and it seems like it should be if the camera is functioning in Photobooth - shouldn't it be the same libraries driving it?
Thanks!

Hi Valerie,
If you have USB 2 and a USB Video Class compliant camera they "Should" work just the same in Leopard as they did in Later Tiger (10.4.9 on)
However people are reporting that they are finding that their camera seems to have been disabled.
The iChatUSBCam Camera list is helpful with more popular cameras but the list is not all Inclusive.
I have not come across a Apple Doc listing UVC cameras that do or don't work.
It is difficult to say more without knowing if you installed Drivers that made it work in Late Tiger (that may be not Leopard compatible) or what else might be a factor without knowing the camera.

    I am trying to "personalize" my cs2 software online download with the serial number from my original boxed cd set and it didn't work. I tried using the download serial number and that doesn't work either. Need help!

    I understand that you have also used the download link & serial number from Adobe - CS2 Downloads, if still the CS2 is not working, then please refer to the system requirement for e.g System requirements | Photoshop
    The issue can be that the present operating system might not be compatible with the CS2.

    The iChat App is the same no matter which User Account on your Mac uses it.
    What you have done is effectively put a copy of the same App on the Drive but in a different Location (Users/Your Name)/Desktop in fact)
    Launching the way you state will rewrite all the com.apple.iChat..... .plist items in Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences (where as dragging it to the applications folder just rewrites the app and uses the same .plist files.
    The problem was with the .plist files most likely com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist (possibly com.apple.ichatAgent.plist)
    But it is an interesting solution.

  • I just bought an Iphone4 from straight talk and my camera does not work. The shutter wont open and when it does open there is a black screen. I am very upset. I have wanted this phone for awhile and now that I have it, it does not work properly. Need help

    I just bought an Iphone 4 from straight talk. My camera does not work. The shutter does not open and when it does open there is a black screen. I am very upset. I have wanted this phone for awhile. I want the issue fixed.
                                                                                                                                                     Thanks

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace.  Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone? 

  • Soundtrack Pro making a LOT of files - used to working in Logic, need help

    So I'm used to working with Logic Studio/7.2/etc, and it's my first foray into working with Soundtrack Pro at work. My questions are this: When I use the razorblade tool (since I can't find an equivalent to the split tool in logic) in soundtrack to cut up a sequence, it seems to be creating a LOT of extra files:
    http://www.1217design.com/pics/stp_question.png is an example of what I mean. Is this supposed to happen? The recorded files themselves were done in FCP and sent to Soundtrack Pro via the Send to STP Multitrack session function.
    What I'm trying to find out is: Is this supposed to be happening? How can I stop this from happening? Are all of these extra files necessary in order to export the final project? And what will happen if I delete them?
    I just want to know because the folder is now 4.71gb for a 30 second audio file (the final aif export is roughly 30mb), and there's over 200 of these extra files that have been created in the process of working on this project.
    If this is what is necessary to work in Final Cut then I won't be able to work with FCP due to size issues (which is a shame as I feel so much more comfortable working within that environment than I do working in FCP).
    Thanks for the help in advance,
    Sean

    By doing this, will it still create all of those extra files? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Is it just from the blade tool being used?
    For all edits, yeah, baby, STP will generate more files than cows create methane.
    First, I know what works for me, but I'm still learning, so I strongly encourage you to keep a COMPLETE BACKUP of all projects until you know your workflow. Also, you may have Preferences set up differently than I do, so you may not find the same paths as what I describe here.
    When you have an audio file the way you want it, and you're confident that you won't need those edit files again (be SURE) Process > Flatten All Actions (or Audible Actions) and Save that audio file. Then -- as I understand it so far -- you can safely trash all the edits related to that file. (If you use Photoshop or similar visual programs, it's the same idea.)
    During my first few weeks of intensive STP work, my drive grew more and more sluggish, for no reasons known to me. I saw disk space shrinking rapidly. Finally I figured it had to have something to do with STP, so I started searching and eventually I found my edits piling up in home/Documents/Soundtrack Pro Documents, especially (for me) in Edited Media. Since they all came from projects I'd finished and exported to AAC and MP3, I was comfortable trashing them all. Suddenly, whoa, I had an extra 12 GB of disk space available.
    Just keep those edit files until you are CERTAIN that you know what you're doing and that you're DONE. Otherwise, when some project needs one precious little 3MB turn of a phrase, you may find yourself confronting suicidal or homicidal tendencies.
    I welcome further clarification and/or correction from people who know more and can explain it better.
    Best,
    chuck
