Webcam Pod not working on Macs

I use the standard webcam pod that comes with the SDK. My users (Mac users also) have been using it without incident until recently.
I have not updated my software since Nov 16, and it was working for users on that day. Users resumed testing the site today and yesterday, and Mac users cannot use their webcam with my service. On Chrome and Firefox, they don't even get the Flash pop up asking them to allow usage. On Safari, they do, but nothing happens when the click "Allow". Three separate Mac users have reported this to me all using 10,1,102,64 of Flash, and I'm affraid no Mac webcams are working. Have you heard of any other incidents since Nov 16?

Hi,
Are you using Player 10.2 ? In that case, can you try removing this line from your WebcamPublisher source
                         var l:int = Camera.names.length;
                         for (var i:int=0; i<l; i++) {
                              if (Camera.names[i]==ISIGHT_NAME) {
                                   _cameraNameIndex = i+"";
                                   break;
This hardcoded line was added earlier due to a player bug in MAC( as eric mentioned). You can remove this line and check it out linking to the source and let us know.
Thanks

USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat

=USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat?Windows 7, X-fi Fatalty Pro
I have a webcam with ?a built in microphone (Ps3 eye). ?It is connected by USB. ?The drivers are the CL-Eye drivers; a third party driver set since Sony does not directly support the eye for PC.
in the windows audio device management, the microphone appears as normal and is set as the default device. ?I can use the windows sound recorder to record me speaking just fine. ?However if I use any other applications it doesn't seem to work at all. ?I can select the device as the default recording device in Starcraft 2 as well as Teamspeak 3 but no sound is detected. ?The USB microphone does not show up as a selectable device in recording options in my Creative Control Panel. ?Disabling the default creative microphone does nothing.
I think the problem is in that windows can directly detect the microphone and so software that uses the windows audio device manager works fine, but anything that talks directly with my sound card software does not properly detect the microphone. ?Basically, I can select the device as a default device but it does not work.
Any thoughts on this or am I SOL and have to find myself a shiny new headset?

I had the same problem. You need to check the device index of your USB mic.
In my case. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.6 system. I had four devices cataloged. With the last one being the USB mic.
Then set like so in your AS code audioPub.microphoneManager.micIndex = 3;
Remember, that the indexing is 0 based.
The sound framework make the assumption that the index is 0.
Hope that helps.

My webcam is not working on skype or facetime, it says cannot find.

Can someone help me figure out why my webcam is not working or able to be discovered when im using skype or facetime or at all since i downloaded Lion?

I'm never really a nick-picker about internet writing, but I couldn't even understand what you said until the third time I read it through.
Anyways, back to the subject. It may be because a lot of those websites are designed for Windows computers, and do not accept the Mac OS, just like how certain MSN Messengers designed for Apple cannot communicate with Windows computers through webcam, but can with other Apple computers.

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
Graziee

Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

Hi all
I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
Can someone help me?
Thanks for your help

Hi
Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

Microsof VX 3000 or 6000 Webcam does not work with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1

Hi,
The problem is that i cannot use the Microsoft VX-3000 or VX-6000 with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1.
If i go in settings under Video i can see the preview from the webcam just fine, so it works there no problem.
Wenn i try to enable my camera in a conference it does not work, i get an error: Your video cannot be started.
Now, there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for the Webcam so i installed the latest Windows 7 drivers. Because of that this webcam does not work with apps, that is fine i understand the driver problem and the way the new apps work.
But this Webcam works with skype under Windows 8.1 and it works with Lync 2010 client.
The same Webcam works just fine with Lync 2013 under Windows 7.
Is there anything i could do so that i get this Webcam to work with Lync 2013 desktop client under Windows 8.1?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, it may be caused by driver.
You can try to install the latest version of Display Driver to fix the display issue.
Since there is no driver for Windows 8.1, I suggest you wait for updating.
You can also post a case on Windows 8 forum, thank you for your understanding:

Best,
James.

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Actually i wrote simple applets and those are working well.
So i did debug the code and i found that when i am running the following code in Apple MAC IE, nothing is happening in handleEvent method. Especially it is not going into the if statement (if (evt.id==401)). here i am checking for KEY_PRESS. I also tried with keyDown method but same problem in MAC IE.
I am pasting the code that is giving me problem.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class testApplet extends Applet
public void init()
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
editableArea = new EditableArea();
editableArea.setBackground(Color.yellow);
add("Center", editableArea);
EditableArea editableArea;
import java.awt.*;
public class EditableArea extends Canvas
String s = "";
public boolean handleEvent(Event evt)
if (evt.id==401)
if(evt.key >= 32 && evt.key <= 255)
char c = (char)evt.key;
s = s + c;
repaint();
return super.handleEvent(evt);
public void paint( Graphics g )
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawString( s,5,15);

Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
My questions are follows:
Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
Which webcam I should get?
Thank you very much!
Tian

Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.
