Want to change webcam from iSight to another (logitech)

How can I use a webcam other than the built-in iSight?  I've attempted to connect a logitech webcam so I can get a different angle, but the apps wont give me any choice except for the iSight...

Hi,
The camera needs to be a USB 2.0 device that is UVC compliant.
Older USB 1.1 cameras or even USB 2.0 camera connected via a USB 1.1 port are not going to work.
UVC means USB Video Class
Early models came with "Vista Certified" on the boxes (not many said UVC)
At OS 10.4.9 iChat could use the included UVC driver (included in the OS)
USB 1.1 cameras before that time needed their own Drivers (in some cases some did work with a generic Third Party driver of which there were/are two).
For iChat this also needed an add-on Utility to covert the video for iChat.
Some Mac Keyboards only have USB 1.1 ports and you may do better using one on the computer itself.
The First Version of Photo Booth only sees any additional Camera if it is plugged in before the app is Launched.
Later version have a Camera Menu item to change the camera (It is not in Preferences)
Face Time also has a Menu item for this.
iChat is in the Preferences > Video section.
In iMovie 6 and earlier it is below the main display area but above the Clip of time line area and to the left of centre.  (the chocie is a drop down when at the camera end of the slide)
The Newer iMovie apps with the Hollywood Star icon has it on the central lateral grey/silver bar (with the tool icons) at the  Left hand end.
Opening this will display the Preview and there is a bar to chose the camera.
If you hold the ALT Key down and then go to the Apple icon top left you get the option to open the System Profiler.
Under Hardware > USB you should find the Logitech listed telling you which Port it is connected to and whether the camera is a USB 1.1 device (the speed listed will tell you)

  • HT1918 My Apple ID is disable and I want to change my payment plan with another credit car

    My Apple ID is disable and I want to change my payment plan with another credit card

    You might be able to re-enable your account via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on them and then logging back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    When it's enabled you can then follow the instructions on the HT1918 page that you posted from to change your payment method.

    You can't do what you want with iCloud.  You will need to setup remote access to your main computer with VPS or some similar remote access application.   With VPS you have an application running on your main computer turning it into a server and an client app on your laptop so you can access it remotely.  There are many such apps out there, some probably more feature filled than VPS.  You might post in the system forum that you're running and ask there.

  • I want 2 put music from cds on another ipod without the songs being in my..

    I want 2 put music from cds on another ipod without the songs being in my library. Sorry it cut me off on the title. I want to import songs to put on my brother's ipod, but when I try to delete the song from my library it deletes it from his too. Help?

    If you want to delete content from your computer but keep it on the iPod (so that is not deleted next time you connect it to iTunes), you need to set that iPod to manage the iPod content manually.

    really want to change the background color of my documents in the mobile app. ive tried to search the answer online, in blogs and other various 'life hacks' blogs or articles, but so far everyone is talking about the desktop version. i really want to figure this out. is there even an option for the mobile version for windows? the only editing icons when a document is open are: export, home, make public, search in document, highlight/strikethrough/underline/comment and continuous/single view. if there isnt an option to edit background color, can i suggest that the makers of the windows mobile version make one, and make it fast please! any help would be appreciated. -CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR

  • I want to change audiobook from music to audiobook

    In the other versions of iTunes I could change a ripped audiobook from music to audiobook and it was synced and handled differently than music.  When I go to these files in iTunes 12 the list is there but changing it to audiobook does nothing. The audiobook remains in music and doesn't move over to the audiobook section.  How can i fix this?

  • Want to change photos from bmps to JPEGs

    When I e-mail photos from my iPhone (3G), they show up as bmp files instead of JPEGs, which makes it harder to post to blogs, etc. Is there a way to change the setting on my phone so that the photos are JPEGs?

    I had a client who was sending a file from his iPhone with this same problem earlier this week. All of the attached jpg files that I have been getting this week from Mac computer users (not just iPhone), are coming over embedded as .bmp files. (I have to work on PC here at work.) So far I've been unable to pinpoint how to fix this.

  • I want to change my shipping address to another country than my billing address. How?

    Trying to add another shipping address to another country for a one-off photo book to be sent to a friend. Shiiping address appears locked to same country as Billing address for the Apple ID. Is there a way to change it?

    You won't be able to ship out of country. Apple's online stores only ship to the country that they are marked for.
    http://store.apple.com/us to the USA.
    http://store.apple.com/br to Brazil.
    http://store.apple.com/cn to China, etc.
    I am guessing this has to do with import / export laws and taxes, but I could be wrong.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I change my profile - want to change username from user568042

    How do I change my profile so that my username is no longer user568042? I have tried to go into my profile and change my name: What they call a handle (username) in my profile; to something different, but it won't let me.

    You are right. However, I tried just what you told me about a month ago and no matter what I did, it wouldn't let me. I knew that it wasn't that hard, but I could never get it to work. Thanks. It worked.
