Where can I get an external iSight repaired?

Does anyone know who can repair an older external iSight camera?  I have 2 that are not working.  Suspect it is from moisture on circuit board.

If you do not have Access to a Store or Authorised Service Centre then take a  look at this page.
About two or three years ago when EZ Jim looked in to this it seemed that the cost of repair was more than the original cost of the External iSights.
Most USB Web cam replacements will need you to be running at least 10.4.9 for iChat to access the camera and have a USB 2.0 port on your Computer.
This is to take advantage of the UVC Driver (USB Video Class) included in the OS
USB 1.1 cameras are difficult to get hold of and would require Mac Drivers either from the manufacturer of the camera or a third party such as macam or IOXperts.
in addition to that you would also need this Utility for iChat.
The Fire-i Firewire Web cam seems to be still on Sale. (Most others seem to have been discontinued).

  • Where can I get an external battery that can power my Mac Book pro Retnia?

    Where can I get an external battery that can power my Mac Book pro Retnia? When I get off a long fight, I have no time to recharge.

    Try searching for "external battery macbook pro retina" (without quotes). You should find at least three potential answers in the first two pages.
    I can't give you a specific recommendation, because I haven't (yet) tried any of them.

    Gee, I hope I understand this right, you can get a Terabyte from Walmart for around $120.00.
    There is one major problem with the drives you get from just walking into a Walmart or Costco or Best Buy: They are usually one interface only, and that interface is USB. That's not a problem for new Macs with USB 3, where mass-market USB 3 drives are a great and cheap solution.
    But for regular transfers with older Macs, I have always found great benefit in using a drive with multiple interfaces that bridge old and new Macs and PCs. The USB version in the PowerBook, USB 2.0, has always been a slow solution. It's slower than FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and Gigabit Ethernet. For my regular backups on G3/G4 Macs and most MacBook Pros, FireWire or Gigabit Ethernet have always been the way to go because they just save so much time over USB 2.0. Maybe not for small incremental daily backups, but when moving large collections of music/videos/photos, or especially when migrating to newer equipment.
    That is why like the others here, I greatly prefer the OWC drives with multiple interfaces. The slow, awful USB ports work well for old FireWire-less Macs and for PCs, while FireWire 800 and eSATA get full-disk backups and mass transfers done in a fraction of the time as the poor soul waiting for USB 2.0 to finish. (Today's multi-TB disks can take hours to copy even with FireWire 800.)
    If the priority is to save money over saving time, a cheap USB drive is fine, and USB 3 will be much faster than FireWire when you get a new Mac. But I've long valued the ability of a multi-interface drive from OWC to plug into any Mac or PC put in front of me and be able to transfer data using whatever the fastest option is.
    I wouldn't worry about formatting drives from non-Mac stores since that takes about 10 seconds in Apple Disk Utility.

  • Where can I get my Zen Creative repair

    My warantee has expired but i need my Zen headphone jack repaired, where in London can I go to get it fixed and how much will it cost?

    The only official channel is Creative support, who will still repair out of warranty, although it's likely to be expensi've.
    Failing that you can try the likes of electronics repair shops e.g. those who repair TVs etc. But they are harder and harder to find as most people just swap out the broken units and repair them thirdline.

  • Where To get an external iSight camera

    Where Could I get an external iSight camera?

    For those considering buying iSights now .... (in case you need this)
    If you consider buying an external iSight now from eBay or other internet seller, even if the external iSight you are considering is advertised as an NOS (new, old-stock) iSight, it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be want to check Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you cannot test the iSight before you buy to be sure it is working.
    Moreover, if you buy an external iSight now, verify whether all connectors, cables, and iSight mounts that you need are included. If some items you need are missing but you still want to buy the iSight, this info may be of interest. (Note that Apple no longer offers the "iSight Accessory Kit, Part Number: M9314G/B" that is mentioned there.)
    If you needs parts from the discontinued Kit or some part those listed in the iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions page and cannot locate them in your area, I recently found that the kind people at http://www.synaptech.com will help users obtain those that are still available.

  • Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive?

    Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive? 
    On the label it says, Model HSTNN-PD06-91
    and
    HP PN: 518819-001 Rev.B
    I've had my Mini 110-1000 running our music system for a couple of years, no complaints.  When I wanted a CD/DVD drive, I purchased a DE8A4L external USB drive directly from HP.  It didn't come with a driver disc.  When I plug it in, the USB subsystem does not enable it.  Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point, saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware..."   It is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    What gives with this device?

    Following up on tactic 2) above, I upgraded the BIOS from version F07 to the latest version available on the HP download site, version F19.  This went well, but unfortunately the system still does not recognize the device.
    When I try to Device Manager, and select the DE8A4L DVD device, and try "search for a device driver", it says it cannot find a better match for the driver already installed.
    This Mini 110-1000 only came with 1 Gb RAM, and Windows XP Home.   Is one of these a critical limitation for running an external USB DVD drive?

  • Where can i get a cheat and good cd/dvd external drive?

    my ibook doesnt have a cd/dvd driver to burn dvds or cds, it can play cds and copy them but not burn them or even play dvd. so i want to buy an external cd/dvd drive using an usb. where can i get one. do you think this one might work? or i need a real superdrive?

    Here's a good source: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/
    I would recommend a Firewire connection rather than USB. Firewire is faster.

  • I broke my macbook pro screen, where can i get a reparation of it , and how does it cos ?t

    Where can i get a reparation for the screen of my mac book pro ? and how does it cost ?

    Cost will depend on where you are ... in Toronto, there are at least five places advertising on Criags List that promise to replace a screen in 15 mins (if it is in stock) for $100. (I have never used the service myself.) However, it is very unlikely Apple can do the repair, the MBP is too old, and if they did the cost would be comparable to the cost of a new MBP.
    While waiting for the screen to be fixed, have you considered hooking up an external monitor? It's not portable, but it will work on your desk.

  • Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

    I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
    I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
    Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.

  • Where can I get a copy of elements 8 for mac

    Suddenly, when I try to open Elements 8 for Mac I get the message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I tried repairing it using Support's nine suggested solution. None worked.
    I no longer have my original DMG file I downloaded (don't ask me why). I do have the serial number in my Adobe account so I can install and run another copy. But, I need a copy. Where can I get one without paying a second time for it?
    I'm happy with PSE 8 and feel no pressing need to upgrade. I just want back what I had before this sudden development.
    Thanks.
    Terry

    I really appreciate the link. Unfortunately, it says a copy is no longer available for Mac OSX. Do you know if I can still get one somewhere else from Adobe? It's their product that failed me. I'm going to switch to Acorn, a nice low-priced full featured PSE alternative. I already use Lightroom for my photography but need graphic design capabilities for my website, business cards, etc. 
    Thanks.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
