What USB Webcam will Work under Lion (Mac Mini)

Only a couple month back, I purchased an "Icecam2" from MacAlley for my Mac Mini. It worked just fine. But Lion doesn't appear to recognize it.
Any work arounds?
Are there any cameras that do work with Lion? (none of the once I have seen so far states that it works with Lion)
Thanks.

I am currently using 2 webcams from Logitech, the C910 and the older Webcam Pro 9000.  They work with Lion.  I use it with Skype, iChat, Facetime and Yahoo! Messenger. 
The Mac software that come with the webcams, however, do not have the same features as that of the Windows version.
Cheers,
A

  • Which USB Webcams will work with iChat?

    Hi,
    I'm new to these forums and am wanting to get a webcam, but iSights are no longer available and I don't have the interest or money to get a DV Camcorder.
    So which USB webcams will work with iChat?
    I take it I'll also have to purchase iChatUSBcam or whatever it's called.
    Thanks
    Iain

    Hi Iain:
    There is a list of cams on their website:

    The only USB cam that doesn't require iChatUSBCam is the iMage.

  • What OS do the new non-lion mac minis use?

    What is it?

    Ebinellis is correct.
    All new mac mini computers sold by Apple will have 10.7 Lion.
    There are no new non-lion mac minis of this model without optical drive. 
    Old stock - new mac minis of the previous year with optical drive - the way they are still available at 3rd party retailers - come with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Upgradable to 10.6.8 via software update. And also upgradable to Lion.

  • What Monitors WILL work with the Mac-Mini?

    If the new Mac-Mini does not put out analog video and Apple does not state this, what monitors will work with it?

    I was able to get an Apple Studio Display to work via the adapter in the Mac Mini box combined with that huge DVI to ADC adapter they had sold me years ago. In the Apple Store I really had to press them to assure me my display would work as they told me they'd charge me a re-stock fee if I had to bring the Mini back. I pressed the point that Apple should know if a monitor it made works with a computer it made. The rep asked around and we both searched the web and then she was able to confirm it would work. They really need a list of acceptable monitors. If anyone locates such a list, please let us all know!

  • What video card will work in a mac pro 1.1  2006?

    what video works in a mac pro 1.1  2006 ? (I have a ati 1900xt 512 mb now!)

    Not to be difficult but you do realize this is being asked and discussed today in multiple threads, and for the last... 23 months too.
    Apple sells ATI 5750 $249 and is fine.

  • Can any generic USB wireless device work on my Mac Mini?

    I am needing to connect my computer to the internet and i was wondering if just any generic USB wireless device will be able to connect too my wireless router???
    if not what would be my best bet?

    It would not be accurate to say that any generic USB wifi adapter will work with MacOS because not all have suitable drivers. Some do, but I suspect the majority do not. Many of the adapters that exist will work with Windows however, if you have an Intel mini and run Parallels, Fusion or BootCamp, because the vast majority of drivers are written for Windows rather than MacOS.
    However, there are some USB adapters that do work (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/30/asus-usb-n11-wireless-n-usb-adapter-ships-wit h-ezlink/ for example). If you are considering such a device, ensure it has MacOS drivers either supplied or available for download, and specifically that the drivers are suited to the MacOS version you have.
    Be aware that USB is probably the least reliable way to connect a system, so it shouldn't be regarded as a best possible network solution!

  • Webcam not working FaceTime on Mac Mini

    I can't start PhotoBooth without it crashing when I have a Logitech C170 plugged in.  If I remove the webcam the application starts fine.  Same web cam doesn't work with FaceTime either.  I have purchased two of these webcams and both operate fine on my macbook air, but on my Mac Mini, they simply will not work, and I cannot figure out why.

  • Will Microsoft USB keyboards still work under Lion, including programmable buttons?

    The MS Intellitype driver lists compatibility through 10.6.x. I don't want to upgrade, only to discover that my Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 is crippled by lack of driver support for all the shortuct buttons it has.

    I heard back from Microsoft Hardware technical support, in a rather vague response:

    Hi Rochelle,  
    Thank you for your reply.
    Rochelle, IntelliType Pro software is compatible with Mac OS, however as the Lion OS is a latest OS; we do not have any driver for this and hence it is incompatible with the software. But please be assured that as soon as we have the driver, it will be uploaded on www.microsoft.com/hardware/downloads  
    i apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

  • What HP LASER PRINTERS WORK WITH LION?

    I just upgraded to Lion and now none of my existing HP printers will work...  Does anyone know what HP printers will work with Lion?

    Is Apple in  cahoots with HP to make us all buy new HP printers?
    Considering HP provides the drivers and Apple just ships them, I'm not sure you can blame Apple.
    Glade you found a solution.
    By the way, I've been using an HP M1536dnf black & white laser printer, scaner, fax attached via ethernet into my router.  After HP released updated Lion drivers, it has worked find for all the multi-function printer functions over the network.  It also supports Airprint from my iPod Touch (after I applied an HP provided firmware upgrade to the printer).

  • Built-in ethernet port not working in unibody Mac Mini

    Hi,
    So ever since I acquired this new mac mini I haven't been able to get it to recognize any devices connected via ethernet. I obviously checked the cables and all is good there. I tried connecting it to another mac, and while the other machine was detecting a device (the mac mini) at the other end of the cable, the mac mini kept saying that the cable is unplugged or the device off.
    After several days of having the issue I decided to remove the ethernet service from the network preference pane to set it up again but to my surprise, the built-in ethernet option was not available (I only got airport, firewire, bluetooth DUN, VPN, PPPoE and 6 to 4). At this point I tried removing the networkinterfaces.plist file form the system configuration folder in the system preferences folder to no avail. I then tried to zap the PRAM, NVRAM, reset the SMU, SMC and all that kind of things to get the port recognized by the system but no luck.
    When I look at the system profile I get these weird results in Ethernet Cards:
    pci14e4,4353:
    Type: Other Network Controller
    Bus: PCI
    Vendor ID: 0x14e4
    Device ID: 0x4353
    Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x106b
    Subsystem ID: 0x0093
    Revision ID: 0x0001
    Link Width: x1
    BSD name: en0
    Kext name: AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext
    Location: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm 43224.kext
    Version: 425.16.2
    Comparing it to other macs I have It should read "ethernet" rather than that strange pci name on top and the kext name shouldn't read airport but something like AppleIntel and in location it shouldn't direct to the IO80211Family.kext package but rather to the IONetworkingFamily.kext.
    So I popped in the system install DVD and fired up System profiler and at that point I didn't even get an "ethernet cards" option in the left side pane. So this is leading me to believe that the hardware is not being recognized at all, so maybe it's damaged. I did replace the HDD with a bigger one and change the RAM modules to bigger ones but I don't think I could have damaged the hardware in these processes, also I don't see how this would affect the ethernet port as it's integrated to Motherboard and didn't messed with it at all (I was very careful, to say the least!).
    The last thing to do is reinstalling the system but I don't think it'll help (after seeing that the ethernet port is not even being detected by the install OS) but I need to offload all the data from my internal disk and at the moment I don't have an spare drive to do it.
    So, what's the recommendation? A field trip to an Apple Store? Closest one is like 3,000 km from where I am right now, so...
    Well, thanks for any pointers, suggestions and help in general.

    I do not have any answers for you. Yes it appears to be reading what should be an ethernet card as an AirPort card. Have you played around with trying to install another version of Mac OS X other than the version that shipped with the Mac mini? Apple has long told us that we should not install a version of Mac OS X that was older than the shipping version. With the Mid 2010 Mac mini, the Restore DVD has the only version of Snow Leopard that will work with this Mac mini's specific hardware. At least until Apple releases 10.6.5. If you have installed other versions of Mac OS X, then erasing the HDD and installing the OS from the Restore DVD(s) that shipped with the mini may get you back to the point you need to be.
    Unfortunately I think that you voided your Apple Warranty when you installed the different HDD. That was always a question in the past when folks wanted to open the former version of Mac minis and upgrade the RAM. But with the 2009 models folks started reporting here in the Apple Discussions that Apple was informing them that they had voided their warranty by opening their Mac mini. This new model made the RAM user upgradable, but the User Manual specifically states on page 43, 54 and 61 that there are no user serviceable parts in the Mid 2010 Mac mini except the memory.

  • What brands of USB 2.0 webcams will work on a mini for Skype & Snow Leop?

    What brands of USB 2.0 webcams will work on a mini for Skype & Snow Leop?
    Does Skype work in through SL's iChat program ( IE: does iChat need to be running for Skype to succesfully use video picture & sound?) using iChat?

    Hi hassiman,
    I don't have a complete list of webcams, but I recently purchased "IceCam2 USB 2.0 Video web Camera with Microphone (ICECAM2)" at MacMall.com, and it works great in iChat.
    I don't use Skype, but I believe that it is independent of iChat. In other words, you can run Skype without running iChat. In fact, only one can grab the camera at a time.

  • Will FCS 3 work under lion?

    Hi (Bonjour)!
    I'm currently in the move for renewing my aging LNE station. I already own an unopened FCS 3 box but looking for a new mac. I 'm pretty cold with the new FCP X .
    Anyone knows if Final Cut Studio 3 will works under the upcoming OS X Lion? And with the anticipated new desktop Mac Pro?
    Thank you.
    Michel Boissonneault

    Hi Michel,
    I'm using it with OSX Lion right now on a Developers GoldMaster. The good thing is that Lion is not that much different under the hood to SnowL. It's got some great new features, my fav's being Versions and Resume. But these don't affect the day to day running adversely. Apps will have to be rewritten to utilise some of the features (so FCS3 won't get a look-in then).
    So far I've not had issues with any of my main software including the Adobe CS5.5 suite, FCS3, PFMatchit, Parallels, Maya, Nuke, all working as they should - some much better!
    Apple have just asked developers to start submitting their Lion apps so it will probably see a release very shortly. Next tuesday if they follow tradition. If you have 3rd party hardware for FCS or Logic you might want to wait until drivers have been released though. My NVidias work fine but if you use ATTO, AJA or Blackmagic cards you are best checking with these developers before upgrading to Lion.
    All the best

    What is the best wireless camera that will work with my mac?

    Any reliable brand that claims Mac compatibility.
    Different wireless cams (wi-fi versus BlueTooth) may work better for different purposes, so ask your retailer for one that best does what you want to do with it.  For some examples of all kinds and types, click the link at the end of this sentence to see results of this search for your posted question.
