Using the Mac camera with windows

I'm trying to use Windows Messenger on the Windows side and can see the other party video but cannot get IM to recognize the camera built into the Mac. IM asks for a USB base camera but I'd like to use the built in one. The Mac version of IM does not support video I understand.
Any ideas?

Yeah, make sure you have the latest version of BootCamp
this is the link http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
if you don't already have the latest version, simply download the new version, and burn a new macintosh drivers CD. Go to the windows side and install the Macintosh Drives and you will not only be able to use the camera, but when you cammand + click, it will act as a right click, however, they need to fix a bug with the command click, once you "right click" normal clicking is rightclicking. it seems that command clicking switches the function of the mouse button.

  • How to use the Bloggie camera with Apple iMovie software.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Follow these steps to use the Bloggie® camera with the Apple® iMovie® program.
    Power on the camera and connect directly to a USB port on the computer.
    Once the camera is detected by your computer, the iMovie software should open automatically. If the iMovie software does not open automatically, go to the Applicationsfolder and open it from there.
    In the iMovie window, choose Import from Camera...
    Choose which clips you want to import and choose the Done button or choose the Import All...button to import all the clips.
    NOTE: You can use the standard iMovie interface to edit and create movies from your video taken with the camera. For more information about how to use the iMovie program, refer to the Help menu in iMovie or visit http://www.apple.com/support/imovie.

  • Has anyone figured a way to use the Magic Trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

    Has anyone figured a way to use the magic trackpad with Windows 7 on a partitioned disc using Bootcamp?

    Yes. After Windows/Bootcamp discovers  your bluetooth device (Magic Trackpad or Mouse, be sure to make it discoverable), right click, with your wired mouse, of course, on the icon and select Properties.
    Then check the mouse drivers box and your device should work. (I located this solution on another thread)
    It works for both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.
    Must admit, the solution was not intuitive within the Windows environment. But we all must remember. It IS Windows, after all.
    Another thing. Keep in mind that the gestures on these devices that work just dandy in OSX do not carry over into Windows.
    It's Windows.

  • Doe's the mac come with windows 7?

    Does the MAC come with windows 7?

    No. You can run Windows on a Mac in several different ways, but all require that you purchase Windows separately. Apple only supplies the Windows drivers needed to integrate with the Apple hardware.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Using the mac mini with a dial up internet connection

    How do I go about using my mac mini with a dial up internet connection? I am soon to be moving to a rural area and dial up will be my only internet option. Please be very specific in your answer as I am not a very tech savvy fellow. Thank you for your help.

    The last time I needed to use dial up I used this amazing device from actiontec:
    http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.ACCT122499/it.A/id.72/.f
    Very hard to find one now, but it has the advantage that it connects to the ethernet ports of up to two computers, rather than using a less reliable usb connection.

  • Can I used the same MSN  with Windows and Mac?

    All you'll need is a router. You can get a wireless one or a wired one. They're pretty cheap.

  • Using the Apple Remote with Windows Media Center

    Hello guys
    First of all, I am Swiss, so excuse me for my bad English (grammar and stuff...)
    So, my problem: I bought the Apple Remote and I think it is very awsome! But since Apple has removed Front Row in Lion, I don't really can use it anymore. So I'd tried to use it with Windows 7 Media Center. But it doesn't work correctly. Does anyone know, how to fix that?
    Thank you

    I had a Green Button remote provided with HP PC XP, Vista for Windows Media Center prior to getting Mac Pro.
    Now in Lion, I have Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980 USB adapter (less than $100) including a remote that works in Lion for the Hauppauge TV app.
    In Windows, the same remote works with all "Media Center" processes Music, Pictures, TV... instead of mouse/keyboard. If your TV service requires set top box, then you have to use its remote to change channels.
    If ISP's internet Co-Ax also carries TV signal, you can get Cable Splitter (smple picture):
    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Way-TV-RF-Coaxial-Cable-Splitter-CATV-Signal-/320868649 227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab543090b  
    and feed 1 co-ax to USB TV adapter, the other to your Modem/Router.
    The Hauppage USB was a good choice because it serves Mac & Windows.
    Also, In Windows, if you have an XBox, it can be used as "Extender" for your A/V output.

    Although this may not answer your question, it describes other options.

  • Using the EOS utility with Windows 8

    I am setting up a brand new Windows 8 desktop machine tomorrow.  With an Intel i7, 8 gb, 2tb and an IPS monitor, it was purchased specifically for photo editing.  Am I going to have a problem using the EOS Utility on a Windows 8 machine?  I am finding hints about a problem on the net, but not much specific information.  Thanks

    WaltA, thanks for replying.  I am currently using version 2.11.4.0 EOS Utility.  Is that the latest?  It came with a brand new 7D.  My other camera is a T3i.  I replaced the version that came with the T3i on the old Vista laptop.
    At this point, I am only using it for transfering photos to the PC.  
    I have successfully loaded it onto the Windows 8 machine with no issues.  I haven't had a chance to run it yet, but there appear to be no problems so far.
    Thanks again.  

  • How to use the FP 3000 with windows XP?

    Hi to all,
    Actually I have a problem using My FP-3000 nifbus with a windows xp proffetional station.
    previously I was using it with nifbus configurator and communication manager, both of version 2.3 and then I upgraded to 2.3.6 (using windows 2000) and now I am trying to use it with windows xp, but the configurator does not communicate with fp-3000 and it doesn't show any function blocks.
    I started by installing the 2.3 configurator and manager, but the PCMCIA fbus/2 card that I'm using was not recognised by windows.
    so I upgraded to 2.3.6, the pcmcia card was now recognised by windows but the communication manager kept giving a communication error.
    so I installed the communication manager version 3.0, which started successfu
    lly and the configurator started but the fp-3000 was not present.
    I tried updating the firmware, but the upgrade.exe did not disfunctioned and gave strange module names in the window, and it did not download the firmware.
    I also tried resetting the fp-3000 but still no luck.
    so any one can tell me what software and what versions should I use to overcome this problem?

    It sounds like a problem of advanced network parameter settings.
    You can start "Interface Configuration Utility", choose the port and select "Edit", then choose "Advanced..." button to have "Advanced Stack Configuration" dialog.
    Change values to:
    T1 0x40000,
    T2 0x40000,
    T3 0x30000,
    Slot Time 5
    Click OK to close "Interface Configuration Utility", and run NI-FBUS CM or Configurator to check whether it helps.
    If you have 3.0 or 3.1 version, you just choose the "Old Default" button to set the values automatically.

  • Using the isight camera in the bootcamp setup with windows 8.1

    Hi
    I am running OSX Maverick in a bootcamp setup with Windows 8.1 and have played around with the isight camera but I would like to know what folder the photo's/video's are sent to?
    Also, are there any settings or user guide for the isight camera in Windows 8.1?
    Thanks

    I don't use Boot Camp, but does anything here help you? Boot Camp - Apple Support.
    My look there did not show anything about the new Windows 8.1.  The latest I saw was Windows 8.
    Brave01Heart wrote: ... what folder the photo's/video's are sent to?...
    The answer will be wherever the app you are iusing for the capture stores them unless you change the default location.  This answer is the same for either Windows or Apple operating systems.
