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.
 Cheers, Tom

  • 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 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,

    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,

  • What Web Cam is compatible with the Mac mini

    Hi everyone,
                  Thinking of buying a Mac mini to use with my Sony TV but I want to connect a web cam also. Does anyone know what web cam works with a Mac mini? 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.

  • 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 cameras are compatible with the ipad ?

    What cameras are compatible with the I pad?

    With the camera connection kit you're able to plug in regular SD cards with one adapter, while the second adapter does include a USB port to plug your camera in. I just remember reading that "most cameras" are compatible.

  • What cameras  are compatible with the camera connection kit

    what cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit and ipad2

    I also recently bought the camera kit and found that it worked fine as long as you don't format the SD card using PC. Once I re-formatted using my camera I could once again upload my photos. that was until I switched formats to Adobe RAW, it seemed unable to upload again. So I switched to S RAW and that worked fine. Sometimes my kit won't upload photos but I find that by just re-inserting the card it works fine.
    Haven't tried video yet, but I recently learned that the devices are quit sensitive to the "Format"(that needs to be FAT32, or exFAT- but in this instance it needs to be formatted by a Mac).
    Good luck

  • What cellular products are compatible with Adobe flash-player?

    What Cellular products are compatible with Adobe Flash -player?

    To be precise, some OLD Android handsets will still have Flash Player installed, but it's not officially available to new ones (nor is it updated). There are some unofficial hacks in the Google Play store that allow you to install it on newer handsets but they're nothing to do with Adobe, and I wouldn't trust them all that much.
    Kathymsg is asking in the Adobe Reader forum - so if she's asking about running Flash content within a PDF file, the answer is simple: there is no support on any mobile device and probably never will be.

  • Which cameras are compatible with the capture feature in adobe premiere pro?

    My son is making stop motion videos and wants to be able to use the capture feature on adobe premiere pro where you connect your camera via USB and can capture images on your computer through your camera. I'm looking into buying him a camera and am trying to find a list of digital cameras that are compatible with this feature, he has a small fuji camera now that will not let him do so.

    What the other users have said is correct. Premiere captures through FireWire or through SDI/HDMI via a 3rd party solution.
    For your situation I would say the best bet is to connect you camera to your computer via USB or use a card reader and copy the entire directory to your hard drive and ingest into Premiere via Media Browser.
    If you Google 'how to make stop motion in premiere pro' there are tons of great tutorials.
    Best,

  • What DVD drives are compatible with Equium A60 PSA67E?

    my question; what dvd drives are compatible for an equium a60 (psa67e-001001en)?
    background; i did a very silly thing! whilst i was in japan and about 18 months after purchasing my a60 in the uk, the dvd drive packed up. i replaced it with a teac dvd drive and it worked like a dream! i threw the old drive away (i think it was a matsu****a, but can't remember the exact model). anyway, i came home and had a bit of spare time on my hands so i decided to tweak my machine and corrupted the windows xp registry.
    Now the windows xp runs in a loop, i can't get access to it and i need to wipe the hard drive and start again basically. i put the recovery disk in, but the computer doesn't read from it and frustratingly finds its way to the loopy windows. i have determined that it is not recognising the teac drive that i used to replace the old one. i think if i put an original type back in, the firmware may recognise the drive and i'll be back in business.... or so i hope!
    of course, any other advice would be gratefully received too! thanks.
    work around??? ps... a work around i thought up... copy the contents of the recovery disk on to a hard drive (using my old computer) then swap the current hdd in my a60 with it... theory; when the computer finds the contents during booting, it will install xp on another part of that hard drive and i'll have a working machine again. could something like that work???????? any thoughts????
    Message was edited by: markchev66

    thanks again friend!
    as it turns out, that pioneer drive rung bells.
    though my TEAC (DV-w28e) replacement looks identical to my previous drive and has worked ok with windows, at "the bios level" it is not being recognised... is that something you would have expected???? i must admit, with windows, the TEAC outperformed the original drive and was surprised it wasn't reading my recovery disk after my self infliction! i also tried using a usb hdd loaded up with the recovery disk and that didn't work.
    but you answered my question so thanks a million for that.

  • Where can I find what phone loads are compatible with CME?

    I recently upgraded one of our CME systems to CME v10.0
    I noticed that even though the CMEv10 Supported Firmware page says the compatible phone load for my 7911 phones is 9-2-1TH1-13,
    my 7911's running phone load 8-4-3-16 all seem to be registering and running just fine.
    So I must conclude that 7911 phone load 8-4-3-16 is compatible with CME v10.0
    Where can I go to find out what phone load versions are compatible with CME or perhaps, at least, where I can find what phone loads are no longer supported by a version of CME?

    Hi Jared,
    Specific CME versions are tested with the versions listed on the "requirements" doc like the one you mentioned (linked below), but are not limited to those firmware versions. The phone loads/firmware is completely independent from the CME/IOS version. And it is often appropriate to upgrade or downgrade phone firmware levels on CME and is fully supported :)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/requirements/guide/cme10spc.html
    I would look at upgrading the 8-4-3 firmware for the 7911's BUT you will need to move to an interim mid-point release like 8-5-2 as a first step due to the "important notes" shown here;
    Firmware Upgrade Issues for SCCP
    Note For all SCCP firmware upgrades from firmware release versions earlier than 8.3(3) to version 8.5(3) or greater, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.5(2). Once you have upgraded to version 8.5(2), you can upgrade your IP Phone to version 8.5(3) or later.

    Some types of AVIs and all protected WMA and WMV files aren't. If the component needed to open a movie isn't clear, the free MPEG Streamclip will reveal what it is or if it's possible at all.
