  • After downloading OSX 10.8.5 I can´t use the camera with Skype.

    After installing OSX 10.8.5 I can´t use the camera with Skype. Incoming video works just fine. Problem is my camera doesn´t turn on automaticly and all camera text in Skype menus are greyed out. Camera still works with facetime and photoboth and so on, so no problem with the actual camera.
    Please help, Im in Kabul Afghanistan, I have my support in Sweden!
    Best regards

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX:
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

  • 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 i use my thunderbolt in built isight camera with Skype?

    recently bought the 27" thunderbolt which is hooked up to my new mac pro 13". If I have my mac closed and i'm running off the monitor and I skype, the inbuilt camera doesn't work. I have to open my mac up and use the one on that instead. Anyone else had this problem?
    I used it for facetime the other day and that worked find so I know the camera itself works.

    you can also capture from your iSight using Quicktime Player and then export the movie for use in FCE

  • Isight camera with skype

    I want to use skype. I see my family on their pc but they cannot see me. I have a MacBook with built in camera. I assume it is isight but it does not show up on the search. Skype says it should work. Are there some settings I need to use?
    I chat wants to use either aim or .mac.
    I did not like aim. Seem to bring too much junk into my computer including a new browser screen,
    thanks Anne

    After you initiate a voice chat, you have to click the little video button before Skype will start sending video.

  • Using web cam with skype but not receiving image from PC

    I've just downloaded skype and asked my son to do the same as we got nowhere with messenger, in the hope to be able to chat to him and see each other. He can see me but I cannot see him and his webcam says "error in trying to connect to ...'. Is this something to do with his webcam or the fact that I am using a Mac?

    Check with the folks at Skype.

  • Using external isight camera with imac intel

    is there a procedure to use my 'old' portable isight camera with my new imac intel?

    i did some tests and here's how is is done:
    plug in the FW external isight camera; open SKYPE and prior to calling on SKYPE; go to preferences.; go to 'video' and there NOW two selections 'built-in isight' and 'isight'; select 'isight' and that will be the camera you will using once you make the SKYPE call; HOWEVER if you want to switch back to the 'built-in isight' you have to 'hang up'; go back to preferences and select 'built-in isight' and re-make the call. BTW Apple care in the far far east was next to no help. maybe apple care will read this post and then THEY TOO will have the answer.

  • 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.

  • Can I use built-in iSight camera with other apps?

    Can I use built-in iSight camera with other apps?
    How?
    doesn't work in imovie or image capture

    Hi Judson,
    THe built in iSight will actually work with iMovie if you have the version of iMovie which comes with iLife 6. (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61929 for a mention)
    There is a slightly clumsy "workaround" available for use with earlier versions of iMovie, but you need a dv cam to use it - see http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051217210335199
    I gather that "EvoCam" - http://www.evological.com/evocam.html - will also work directly with the built in iSight.
    So too, should recent versions of QuicktimePro.
    As for other apps, tell us what you wish to do with it. We may be able to come up with some suggestions.
    Cheers
    Rod

    Hello Globalmark
    For your problem dealing only with Skype, Skype supports their product with a comprehensive Help system for answers to your Skype-specific questions.
    If you cannot find the answer you need from their Knowledgebase, Troubleshooter, User Guides, or dedicated Skype-user forum, you can get technical support directly from Skype.
    MSN (now Microsoft) Messenger for Mac cannot use ANY camera unless you are using the "corporate" version. The personal version is a text only app.
    This post will give you the options available to you for using your MacBook Pro to contact those whose only chat client application is MSN (now Microsoft) Messenger.
    Your posted system info shows that you are still using Mac OS X (10.5.1). If that is correct, you may want to consider the advantages of updating to the latest version of Leopard.

  • I want to get a Nikon D3100, but my macbook has OS 10.5.5 on it and I've read that the D3100 needs at least 10.6.5. What will happen if I try to use this camera with my computer? Will iPhoto simply not recognize it or will I get distorted pictures, or..?

    Nikon say that you need 10.6.5+ for the latest firmware, although I don't see why.
    Thanks for that! I was looking for that manual, but for some reason, couldn't find it.
    I guess I'll have to contact Nikon and find out what the real story is. The camera was introduced in '08 or '09, so I'm wondering why you'd need software as recent as 10.6.5??
    Still very confusing.  :-?
    Why does it state that the camera is compatible with "10.4.11, 10.5.8..."? Does that mean that anything between 4.11 and 5.8 is incompatible???
    BTW, I tried downloading the 10.5.8 combo update recently and got an error message that the update was "corrupted" after it was all downloaded, so I was not able to install that.

    You "faced some problems"...  
    Without any further information I assume that your computer is unplugged.  All fixed.  You are welcome!

    Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.
