Want to use Logitech, not iSight camera, but can't.

I want to make a simple video with my iMac, using a new Logitech USB camera, instead of the iSight camera inside of the monitor frame. The computer recognizes the Logitech camera just fine, and other applications (e.g. iChat) have no problem using the Logitech camera. I just can't figure out how to get the iMovie program to use it instead of the iSight camera. The Logitech camera also works perfectly with other Macs in the house. I can click the little "camcorder" icon in iMovie, and a window opens, showing the video feed from the iSight camera. There is a little drop-down box in that window that SHOULD allow me to choose another camera, but there is nothing but the iSight camera available for selection.
The Logitech camera is plugged directly into the back of the iMac, so there should be no power problems. Also, it is fully recognized in the "about this Mac menu, when I click 'USB').
I know that this is probably a stupid little thing, but I've tried and tried and can't figure out how to use the Logitech camera.
Thanks to all who would reply.

USING AN IPHONE AS AN IPOD
Restore your phone as new.  Place a SIM card into the phone and connect it your computer with iTunes open and follow the activation assistant to activate the iphone.  Once the iphone have been activated remove the SIM card and turn on imessage in settings/messages.  Only your Apple ID should appear in the “You can be reached by imessage at” and “Start new conversation from” fields.  Read the following article for help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406

  • Want to use iphone 4s as ipod but can't get past activation

    My brother sent his iPhone 4s in to have a replacement.  When he got the new one back he never used it and he closed his account with ATT.  He has a work phone that is paid for him now and doesn't need it.  I asked him if he'd send it to me to use.  I wanted to use it as an iPod, but I can't get past the activation.  I'm being told by the phone that I need a sim card to activate it but I don't have a sim and I have phone service already so I don't need to go get it turned on.  It's a perfect little piece of equipment that I'd love to use but I can't.  Can anyone please help me?

  • I have Lightroom 5.5 as standalone app on my laptop and I want to use Lightroom mobile too. But I am not an Adobe CC subscriber. Can I use LR mobile? Right now it's telling me it's on trial and I have only 17 days left.

    I have Lightroom 5.5 as standalone app on my laptop and I want to use Lightroom mobile too. But I am not an Adobe CC subscriber and I don't have Photoshop CC. Can I use LR mobile? Right now it's telling me it's on trial and I have only 17 days left.

    But I paid for my Lightroom 5.5, LR Mobile is an app for LR5, isn't that unfair not to allow me to use LR Mobile? Adobe should change this policy.

  • I am so confused. I am thinking about buying an iPhone 4S but I want to use those card things that you can put the code in for the phone is this possible? I'm not talking about the 50$ unlimited card just the regular 20$ cards that hold mins and texts...

    As far as I know there is no US cell carrier that allows pay as you go with an iPhone. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4S at an Apple Store and try it with a non-supported carrier.

  • I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

    I have an old AOL email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure. Any way I can find out what I used it for in the past?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address.  If it is, remove it.  Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
    If that fails...
    Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
    You'll need to speak to someone in account security.  They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information.  If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.

  • It seems like some of the features that I want to use are not available  in MUSE like in browser editing?

    I decide to use Business Catalyst for hosting because it came with my CC membership, However it seems that some of the main things I wanted to do might not be available or can only be used for additional membership fees.  I wish that this was more clear beforehand!  I am happy with the built in things but I am a little disappointed in finding out some of the features that I wanted to use, such as in browser editing might not even be available at all as long as I use MUSE.  Managing customers using secure zones, and some other page level sign in forms seem to be not available also
    Is this correct, if so what other limits can I expect?

    People do fumble their way through going into the BC developer code editor online to do layouts etc and then to Muse and back but Muse only covers basic modules and templates. Not all the tag's, layouts, tag features and the guts of what being a web developer/designer is.
    So you can go so far, but then you will hit a wall like everyone does with Muse.
    Muse is not designed to do everything out there to make a site, it Cant, those sorts of tools from frontpage to Muse can only take you so far.
    I can not just go build a house with the tools from the big depot. They may all do the job, but I do not have the knowledge or the plans to do so.

    Hello, Lynne. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is a helpful article that explains how iTunes purchases are billed. 
    iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When using iTunes to purchase content for the first time on a new device, it may require you to verify your payment information as a way to authenticate your device.  If this not a new device attempting to access iTunes store and prompting you provide payment information, there could be an outstanding balance.  This article will show you how to verify you purchase history and invoices. 
    iTunes Store & Mac App Store: Seeing your purchase history and order numbers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    Also, you can change the payment method as none as long as there isn't an outstanding balance on the account.

  • 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

  • Trying to update my apps but it keeps saying update my credit card,I don't want to use a credit card and I can't delete the one that's on my account

    Trying to update my apps but it keeps saying update my credit card,I don't want to use a credit card and I can't delete the one that's on my account

    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

  • I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

    I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?  Help!

    If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
    If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.
