I am running OS X 10.4.11 (Macbook Pro)
I had an old Quickcam For Notebooks Deluxe (or was it the Quickcam Deluxe for Notebooks... yikes, these stupid inconsistent naming conventions...) which worked fine using MACAM and also a script which enabled and disabled my built in iSight. Once I got it set up- it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately - it gave up the ghost recently and I gave it a decent burial.
I researched the current state of things - OS X support for UVC compliant cameras - and read Logitech Troubleshooting Answer 6471 which lists UVC compliant cameras. I then carefully found and purchased a QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks 860-000009 (yes - that was even the part number on the tag on the cable). I uninstalled MACAM. I restarted. Nada. The OS seems to see the camera in that when I go to system preferences, it recognizes that there is a Logitech camera attached. But it works in no application (MSN, Yahoo, AOL, iChat, Skype, Flashchat, Photobooth, etc.)
Any ideas?
Further, I read all over the web that the Logitech Pro 9000 works flawlessly with OS X - plug and play. Of course there is no way to know WHICH exact Logitech Pro 9000 and based on my experience above, the UVC compliant thing is not exactly reliable. Help?? And THANKS in advance
