What web cams are compatiable with an imac on the latest software version?

Hi There
Does anyone know of a cheaper web cam than the isight? There are many different makes but i cannot find any that are compatiable with latest version of operating system.
Thanks for your help
Simon

Hi Simon,
There is this Apple Doc http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/firewirewebcamdriver.html
It lists this page http://www.ioxperts.com/devices/webcam.html
If you are going for a USB cam you will need http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
It has a Camera list page http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html that links to drivers if the one that comes with the camera does not work.
Logitechs seem popular.

  • What video cameras are compatible with mac without having to download software

    What video cameras are compatible with mac computers without having to download software?

    Did you try connecting your camera to the computer USB port via the supplied USB interface cable instead of plugging in the SD card directly?
    No driver is needed to connect your computer to your camera.

    Regardless of whether or not you 'like' downloading and installing software on your computer, Canon DOES HAVE software available for your specific camera and it IS compatible with recent versions of the Mac OS X operating system. Maybe try that instead of whining here about it not being compatible.

  • What web cams are compatible with OS X 10.4.11 for 1.33 GHz 12"PowerPC G4? I want to use it with Skype. Please advise!

    I wish to purchase a webcam for use with Skype.  I have a 12" PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4.11, 1.33 GHz.  What inexpensive webcams are compatible with my laptop?  (Mine is the metal case.  The model number is:  PowerBook 6,4)  Please advise.

    Also consider Apple's iSight web cam. It connects via Firewire which is faster than USB2, has a built in microphone & is self focusing. Here's an old review http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1383357,00.asp
    I have one.
    You can possible get a used one for $30-$50 on Craig's List or eBay. Be sure & get one with the laptop mount. The first versions only came with a table mount.

  • What video cameras are compatible with Final Cut Express?

    I live in Japan and was thinking of buying a Victor " Full High Definition" video camera (1920x1080). The only thing I was warned about by the salesperson is that unless I have a Blue-Ray DVD recorder/player, I will never be able to enjoy true Full HD after burning my video to a DVD. I guess regular DVD recorders/players can't support it yet.
    I have searched to find a page that tells me what video camera is compatible with my iMac G5, but no luck. Any ideas on how to find out before buying a video camera? I would appreciate anyone's advice.
    Thanks, Larry in Japan

    You want to stay away from recordable-DVD and hard-disk camcorders,
    ...snip...
    Hope you don't mind me asking why? - As long as they've got a F/W connector how does the source media make any difference? - In fact, I would think that shuttling around would be faster with HD's or DVD's.....
    I also believe the salesperson was trying to say that he's going to need a BluRay deck in order to be able to view his HD material on an appropriately equipped TV - Which is correct, no?
    Thanks in advance for any comments,

    You have to call Apple to get 10.6 first somehow, as they removed it from the online store.

  • What is the latest software version for my iMac? I have version OS X version 10.7.5

    What is the latest software version for my iMac? I have version OS X 10.7.5

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have OS X Lion. OS X Mountain Lion is compatible with Mid 2007 (iMac7,1 or newer) iMacs, so to check that you have a compatible Mac, press , hold the Option (Alt) key and open System Information. Then, check Model Identifier. Also, the App Store will tell you if your iMac is supported when you try to purchase OS X Mountain Lion, so you can skip this step.
    While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps. You will be running OS X 10.8.4

  • HT4623 What would happen if i don't update my ios to the latest software version? Will it cause my iphone to malfunction?

    No, you can ignore it for as long as you like, but it sounds as though your phone is already not working properly. Though the following updates do not specifically address your concern it is possible that it could help.

    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • What Web Cam is compatible with the Mac mini

    Hi everyone,

Keen to get one but if I cannot find a compatible web cam I don't think I will. I have no wish to buy the apple monitor just for the use of a web cam.

  • Help...!!!! After down loading the latest software version 5.0 my iPhone went completely dead. I can't switch it on... It's completely dead. What do I do..?

    Can someone help please..? After down loading to the latest software verssion 5.0. My iPhone went completely dead. Can't swith on any more. What can I do?

    Hi, thank you very much for your reply. No my phone was never been jailbreak-ed. Never been dropped in water or in any wet surface. Dropped on the floor while texting yes, but it was just a one time incident, last year august i can clearly remember, but after that no more (phone still works fine even after.) restored the phone again earlier, but problem still occured. Will try to go to Apple also to ask and have it checked.  Just worried because my phone is already out of warranty. Will keep you posted. Again, thanks. If you have any more advice just let me know. It would mean a lot.
    Cheers,

      If there is no pressing reason to update the phone, I would wait. There are alot of people that are having problems with the phone when they did the upgrades. Missed calls/texts, dropped calls, freezing, etc.
      Gingerbread is rumored to be in the works for the Fascinate, hopefully soon...
