Webcams and Skype with 10.3.9

Hi all, I searched before posting my question...thanks for any help in advance.
I have SKYPE and all is workig well-speechwise. Would like to now connect a webcam to see those I call/Skype with, what should I buy so it works with Skype and on my PBook G4 with OS 10.3 (have all updates). The folks I communicate with have a PC not Mac, but I don't think that is a problem via SKYPE (?)
Thank-you
Marketa

You don't need any more software . The iSight instruction book says that to use iSight, you must have the following:
"A Macintosh computer with a G3 processor at 600 Mz or greater or any G4 or G5 processor.
Mac OS 10.2.5 or later and iChat AV.
A .Mac America Online (AOL) or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) account (only required to use iChat AV outside your local area network).
A broadband internet connection using a DSL or cable modem.
You can video conference with other iChat AV users and Windows AIM users.
You must have iChat AV to be able to use iSight with other applications."
Presumably the last instruction covers the situation where you want to use iSight with Skype. I first used my iSight camera with iChat (which was already on my iMac computer) and my daughter set up a Windows AIM account. This used to regularly crash after about five minutes, giving us both sound but no picture ( a frequently reported occurrence in the Discussions pages). After we swapped to using Skype, the problems disappeared. I am no expert and got help initially to set up using this Discussion forum. If you need any really expert technical help, I'm sure others will be willing to jump in and give it.
Good luck !

Webcam and skype

I just bought a new computer that runs Windows 8. I had a logitech webcam that was no longer supported so I bought a new one ((C270). I installed the new webcam but Skype still doesn't let me video chat. I checked all the skype permissions. Still no luck. Do I need to reinstall skype? Or what?

Did you check the Options as well?

Does your Logitech webcam work with your Mac OS X (10.4.10) Mac?

We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

You 2005 mini shipped with a PowerPC G4 CPU ranging between 1.25 and 1.5 (late sept 2005) Ghz. PowerPC is not Intel. This mini will not run current releases of Skype for the following reasons:
The current version of Skype claims support for OS X 10.5.8 -- but wants a 1Ghz Intel processor just for voice calls. Their recommendation for video calls is a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo Intel CPU and a broadband connection of at least, 4Mbps down and 512Kbps up. Skype requirements.

Yoga 2 Pro: Webcam not working with Skype?

Hi all, weird problem. For some reason skype cannot load the webcam built into the Yoga 2 Pro.
It works in the Windows 8 camera app just fine.
I formatted and everything and it will just not work.
IT WAS WORKING two days ago, that's why I'm so confused. I've installed the drivers on the support page and have had 0 luck.
I'm not sure if this is a permission thing or what..
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I've reinstalled the driver after uninstalling it from the device manager 10 times. I also formatted and reinstalled, but that didn't fix anything.
The camera works for the camera app + the webcam test online. I've tried rollback on the drivers, and installing earlier versions of skype with no luck.
Very strange, all it does is show the loading sign, and never loads.
This is the desktop version of skype btw. I'm going to try it with the non-dekstop version tonight and see if it works.
EDIT: Is there any other camera source besides 'Lenovo EasyCamera'? Their are two drivers on the drivers page, which one is recommended?

Good webcam to use with Skype please

I have a G5 iMac running the latest version of Tiger. I would like some advice on buying a good webcam to use with Skype. I'll be going Mac to PC. I've heard that the Logitech Fusion is good. Any suggestions?

Jim

Satellite A215-S7444 built-in webcam not working with MSN / Skype

Hi, I've just bought my laptop and right after installing the newest MSN and Skype, the video is not working with these programs. I tried to configure the video settings inside MSN and it told that "windows cannot connect to this webcam. It's in currently in use or not plugged in". The webcam is built-in, a Chicony USB 2.0.
Any hints ??

Hi there,
maybe you should download the webcam software for your machine from the toshiba driver download site and install it. The webcam works but the software sometimes behaves really weird so you just have to reinstall it. Maybe its an good idea to uninstall the old software before...
Greetings

My webcam not work with skype

I have HP Probook 4540s with integrated webcam with Windows 7 Ultimate. I have making video call on skype but does not work for a week.Yesterday I uninstalled both webcam driver and Skype, then reinstalled with latest versions, but Skype does not recognize webcam I updated BIOS, driver card and webcam, I did restart and it worked videocall but today no longer works.I use skype 7.2 the last version

Certain versions of that particular model's camera drivers are problematic. You would want to make sure that you are using the generic Microsoft driver or the 5.9 drivers.

http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-crashes-computer-on-install-run-help/m-p/...
Beyond that, make sure no other problem is hogging up the camera resources. If the camera continues to function intermittently then the internal cabling of the camera or the camera itself is probably defective and will require replacement.

Webcam not working (FaceTime and Skype) MacBook Air 9"

Hi all,
after the update, Facetime and Skype tell me, that there is no Webcam avaliable. What happens? Before upgrading it works.
Best regards,
Florian

Hi, yes now my problem regarding this is now solved, but now the BOOTCAMP and Windows 7 produce all time BSOD while starting, only with F8 and "abgesicherter Modus/safe mode" I can logon on.
Exact after starting Windows and have the BSOD the cam works again starting Lion :-(
Error message is: CACHE_MANAGER
0x00000034 (0x00000107, 0xC0000420, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Apple has tried a lot of stuff
deleted all caches (no result),
prevent Sophos to start automatically
prevent the iTunes helper to start automatically
use a new user profile
deleting specific EFI (?) information holding some keys with the left and the right hand, waiting for three reboots
Possible the last thing or the update to Lion may be the reason for the BSOD in Windows. Apple diagnostic does not show any errors in the system; I've used the intensive test, which takes 30 minutes.
Apple support pleased me to load an update of the Bootcamp drivers, but in safe mode I cannot install them because the windows installer service can't be startet.
So, that's my actual status.

Webcam VF0200 and Skype: not working

I have the webcam VF0220, with the latest installed drivers (LCVM_PCDrv_1_01_01.EXE) and software (LCC_PCAPP_LA_2_02_05.exe) for WIndows XP SP3
It does not work with the latest release of Skype.
Before it was working correctly.
Now, when I go to the option to configure video, it shows ASUS SGB as the only webcam and goes out with an error message.
The webcam is working correctly with the othe software (like creative Live! Cam center).
Any suggestion ?
Thanks,
R. Napoli

I have the new Air also a few hours ago. Have the same issue. it wont login. it just keeps spinning. Facetime Beta works though. I hope Apple does not block skype because of their favor to Facetime. I have a strong believe here......
I am surprised that you got if fixed by changing the incoming port to 8080 in skype prefs. I did the same, but no luck
if **** hits the fan I might return the Air to apple. I truly hope they did not block something in the design in favor to Facetime

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

My problem is that after upgrade to IOS 6.1.3 my iphone not sounds! dont have sounds notifications for whatssap, FB, mails and can't listen music and talk with skype without headphones or speakers! only have vibrator and sound for one coming call!! what can i do!???? Thanks a lot for help me!!!!

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

Webcam and Whiteboard not working with Adobe AIR with Adobe Flash Builder

Hi,
I am trying to build a simple chat service using Adobe Flash Builder target for desktop AIR( my final objective is to port it to android). My adobe AIR version is 2.5.0 and below is my source code:

Hi,
My take is , is your autopromote tuned on for the room. I mean whats
your user role when an user enters the room(who is not host), is it 10
or 50. If its 10 i.e. viewer , then he cant use his own cam etc. You
need to take a look at the logs when an user enters and if its 10 and
you want to give him these permissions, turn autopromote on from the
devconsole for the room to make his role 50 i.e. publisher.
I just now downloaded 2.5.1 AIR and created a new project with your
source and I am able to use everything.
Thanks

Finding Flash Installation, alter settings and use with webcam

I am running on Windows 7 using Chrome. I am doing a course where I need to send information from my webcam to a website. I downloaded Flash Player and somewhere on the website it had a section where it had the address of the university. It also had another address not applicable so I deleted that and in doing so also deleted the address of the uni. I know diddly squat about both the webcam and Flash and am really running out of time to submit my assignments. Flash did unload on my computer, but to where, I have no idea. I have done searches but it nothing. So that took most of yesterday. Today, I researched it further and it was suggested that Flash was incorporated in Google and was enabled by fault and included in Chrome system updates. So I went into plug ins and find the Flash listing is enabled. There is also only one listing on the plug ins in spite of me downloading one yesterday and it is supposed to be on Chrome as well. .Bottom line ..... how do Flash and the webcam work together? How do I reinstall the university's web address on Flash, does it automatically attach itself to webcam and then do I get the option of who I share my webcam work with. Hope you can understand all this because I can't and I am getting a mighty nervous about getting these assignments out. Many thanks
