Web cam does not override iSight camera. Any suggestions how to do so?

I bought a Logitech webcam but cannot get it to work. The iSight camera comes on instead and overrides the web cam. Any way to fix this?

If your Logitech webcam is Mac-compatible, it should be menu-selectable in the app you are using. Different camera apps work differently. Your Mac's Help in each application should give you more info on how each particular app works, but here are a few examples:
  • Messages:
  • Photo Booth:
  • FaceTime:
  • Skype:
  •   QuickTimeX:
If your camera recognizes only one camera, apps may not display even the inbuilt camera in the menu.
Different iMovie versions support different cameras in different ways.  Search your iMovie > Help for info on your version.

  • I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I'll have to get a better instructor on deleting the preferences since when I've doen it in the past nothing is there when I open LR the catalog is gone. I assumed that was what was supposed to happen so I start importing all over again.  But that is a different issue...
    The problem has been happening since at least the beta of 3 came out and I saw other posts back then saying they had similar issues but I assume it was a beta thing...  But since the full version came out and through each incremental change I haven't seen an improvement. If anything it has gotten a little worse with time.
    I have to try to be careful to not be in a hurry and start clicking around in the catalog as it seems fragile until it has cataloged all the photos in the library. When starting you will see the numbers populate the folders very slowly and I try not to click on a folder that hasn't had the number of photos pop up yet. Also draging the slider down to see more of the cataloge can have the same affect and crash the system.
    I wish I had more to go on.. I believe it may be a resources issue but as I went from 3-4 Gig I thought it would get better. I don't have big programs running but did have outlook and word running in the background along with firefox and chrome.
    And yes it only happens on this HP desktop (it's 2+ yrs old) and may be showing it's age a bit. My laptop which has less resources doesn't have the issue.. I have them sharing the catalog. (not at the same time) just when I'm working in other places in the house.

  • Mac does not switch off. Any idea how to fix this?

    I already  repaired the rights on the disk....
    Mac does not drive down, obviously after certain programs have been started. One of those programs is itunes. I have to use the power switch button for switching it off. Mac can be driven down normally immediately after start-up.....Any idea what to do?

    Yes, this was exactly the sequence and again it worked...

  • Phone does not ring when called any suggestions

    Can you make outgoing calls?

  • Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

    I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
    So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
    But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
    Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

    The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
    Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

  • Trashcan icon in mail closes the app and does not delete the email any suggestions?

    Trashcan icon in mail closes the app instead of deleting the email, any suggestions?

    First thing to try is a reset: hold the on/off button and the hold button at the same time until the iPad completely shuts down, then turn back on.
    May not work, but often resolves simple app issues.

  • Cannot upgrade 3gs to ios5? Itunes does not recognize the update, any suggestions?

    Using Windows 7 and itunes will not recognize the ios5 update? States that the version 4.2.1 it the most current software update? Any suggestions? 

    Do you have the compass app on your phone? If you press and hold the home button do you get voice control? I'm betting the answer to both of these questions is no.
    You have an iPhone 3G. NOT a 3Gs. You can not install iOS 5.

  • TS4036 I've been restoring a new iphone to my icloud backup since last night. It keeps saying 30 + hours remaining. This does not seem right. Any suggestions?

    I've been restoring a new iphone to my icloud backup and it's been taking hours. It's already been 15 hours and it keeps flashing between 30 to even 48 hours longer. I already stopped it last night and restarted but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any suggestions???

    Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

  • HT1338 I have a slide show in iphoto that I wish to export to iDVD, and when I attempt that I get and error message triangle, ! with the note "This movie contains an invalid data reference"  iphoto help does not seem to have any suggestions, that work.

    I have a slide show (project) that will not export.  The error triangle appears with the message: "This movie contains an invalid data reference"  What is the issue, and what is the solution?
    jh

    I found that the issue was with the title side, it had too many characters in the slide.  When the number of characters was diminished, the show loaded without issue.

  • My Safari will not shut down. The box for this in FILE is grayed out and command Q does not work either. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

    I have all the updated software. This started happening about 2 days ago. I stumped and concerned.
    Thank you

    You can make an unresponsive application quit by using "Apple > Force Quit > Safari > Quit". You should consider updating your OS to:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    It's more stable.

  • SAP Web Dispatcher does not start as windows service

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed and configured SAP Web Dispatcher. When I start the web dispatcher from command prompt, it works fine. I created a windows service for web dispatcher using the command
    ntscmgr install sapwebdisp -b "c:\program files\sap\sapwebdisp\sapwebdisp.exe"
    -p "service pf=sapwebdisp.pfl -cleanup -auto_restart"
    The command successfully created sapwebdisp service. The service also starts fine, but web dispatcher does not get started.
    Any ideas experts?

    Hi,
    Ok. Few suggestions.
    1. Can you review the SAP note:
    552286  Troubleshooting for the SAP Web Dispatcher
    2. When you said: "web dispatcher does not get started ", what error you got ? Can you be more details here ?
    3. Please check the trace file dev_webdisp" that generated in the work directory. If the log entries is not abvious, increase the trace level to 2 or 3, and reproduce and re-check the trace file.
    4. What is the output of the command "sapwebdisp -v"
    5. How about sapwebdisp.pfl ? Are those settings correct ?
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Vincent
