Now this fine Dome base unit iMac is running OS X 10.4.11. It only has USB 1? We live in the UK. Now we want to use a webcam and Skype (or anything) to talk to and see distant relatives. But a PC Webcam does not work, not even a flicker! So what model do we need and where do we get it from? Is it possible?
View 2 RepliesI have a G4 with OSX 10.3.9 and need a webcam to use with Skype. All I can find are webcams for PC's. I understand that there are webcams that are UVC compliant and can be used with Macintosh OS X 10.4.9 and up, but not 10.3.9 What webcams can I use with 10.3.9?

I am hooking a mac mini up to my HDTV and plan on hooking up my web cam on top of the TV and don't know what web cam to get. I need it to have a built in mic and display decent video. I would like to spend $50 but I will spend more if I have to.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a macbook pro, and although the built-in isight provides a nice quality picture, I hate the fact that it has no features and is completely fixed. Therefore, I'm looking for a new stand-alone webcam compatible with mac. I'd like to also have a zoom feature. I'm not incredibly anal about vid quality, so it that doesn't absolutely have to be top-notch. I'm willing to sacrifice a tad bit of vid quality to have zoom. Is it possible for me to find something like this in the $50 price range? (give or take $10 or so).

How would the color look on it? Right now I'm using a 2 maybe 3 year old dell screen in the shape of a square and the color looks kind of fuzzy. How would it look on that particular monitor?

Is it enough to run accounting and office softwares with total satisfaction? Secondly, can I run windows compatible program through the use of fusion 2 without running windows os everytime? Does that way save power to extend power life? Additionally, I just found that the white background color of the accounting program really hurts my eyes. Is there certain ways to make white background color look moderate to the eyes?

If I were to purchase Snow Leopard and install it on the Macbook, would I then be able to use the copy of Leopard that came with the Macbook on the iMac? I am not trying to use 2 copies of the same thing on different machines, I just want to put a new os on one machine and move the existing one to another.I am reluctant to purchase the Mac Box Set version of Snow Leopard for the iMac because I do not want or need iLife and iWork.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have not yet bought the new Imac. I am fairly new to macs having used a PC my entire life. But i look forward to the change and hope it's good. My major concern only now is that i was wondering if there's anyway to hook my PS3 to this new imac since the displays are phenomenal and it lacks a blu-ray player. The 21.5" has no DVI input while the 27" does, so i'm guessing i'll have to get the 27" if i want my PS3 to connect in anyway? If there is no perfect way to get 1080p then let me know and i will stick to the 21.5" since the PS3 connecting to the 27" was the only reason i was buying the larger model.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI got called out to a support job the other day and found the lady had an iMac G3 Bondi Blue running Mac OS 8.5. The problem is with her internal 56k modem. It will no longer connect to the Internet and is reporting the error message:
"The modem is not responding properly. Reset the modem, check it's connections, and check that the correct port and modem type are selected in the modem control panel."
Now I'm no expert with the old school iMac's but that seems to me like the modem is knackered and she needs a new one. I did recommend just opening it up and slotting in a replacement internal modem but the client would rather have an External.
So I was wondering if any one around here knew what kind of modem I could purchase for her that would definitely be compatible with such an old version of Mac OS?
I have had a google around for it, but I can't seem to find a Hardware Compatability List or a modem that claims it is compatible with Mac OS 8 so I'm kind of grasping at straws here hoping that someone might happen to be using such an old version and might be able to point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to upgrade my aging iMac to be as compatible as possible, due to Diablo 3 requiring a minimum OS 10.6.8 to operate. My current specs as below:iMac Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz. 20 Inch. 4GB Ram. 320GB HDD. Nvidia 9400M Graphics Card..Currently running 10.5.8. As previously i tried to upgrade to Lion but it says my computer is unable to process installation, I am not sure if it's because i did not upgrade from Snow Leopard. Am trying to use this current mac as long as possible because i think Apple should be introducing a new generation of iMacs soon this year.

My father has an iMac G4 circa 2003, currently running 10.2.8. He hasn't used it for a long while. This OS can connect to the internet, but the browser is incapable of loading content. What can I do? I don't want to go through finding and investing in all the OS upgrades if the computer doesn't have the storage space or capability to run them, and/or I still won't be able to use an upgraded browser with it. He's quite elderly and out in the country, so bringing it in to a Genius bar is out of the question.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought a VESA mount for my 27 inch iMac (core i7) after confirming with apple website that it is compatible with the new 27 inch.
But, unfortunately it DOES NOT fit!
Someone in apple support page have the same problem as me:
"I tried putting it on the new 27" iMac. The flange went on without any problem. The hole aligned with the pin, and all 8 screws were fastened easily. However, installation of the mount adapter plate was a different story... When it sits on top of the flange, the holes from the sides of the mount plate do not even align with the threaded holes of the flange. It was at least 2 mm off-centre. I had to remove the protective plastic strips at the edge of the mount adapter plate, only then the bolt can be threaded into the flange. Even so, the bolts were so tight that, on one side, I could only drive the bolt half-away in before I strip the hex pattern on top of the bolt."
Wonder anyone in this forum have the same problem? I'm going to call Apple Australia on monday morning!!!!
Wasted my 2 hr to try to figure it out!!!!
