What webcams ACTUALLY work with apple laptops. Hmm.. any suggestions? Please send me links. I bought one recently and it said in the catalogue that it would work with Apple but nope
yea they're standard on every copy *now*But if its an older forge thats not the case@allgiggles1984: Which model did you buy? was it a logitech? they usually support macs pretty well... be a bit more but its worth the money
Not every copy - the Pro doesn't have one. As a Pro owner. I've been quite interested in this subject myself for the purposes of having video chats on Skype etc... Basically official give for 3rd celebrate webcams is a bit sketchy in Mac OS for the very reason that 99% of people don't be to buy one because of the built in iSight. However there has been a big third party effort by open source developers to provide drivers for as many webcams as possible. You can sight all the info at:They have a big list there of cameras that are supported. I tried macam on a 7 year old Logitech camera (of which I have no idea of the model number - it's got nothing written on it) and it worked absolutely fine.
Another vote for getting something by Logitech. I've had a few of their webcams over the years and noticed they all claimed to work on a Mac. Their mice are miles better than Apple's shitey mouse too.
Well ya its a desktop,but thats also why Apple sells a dedicated iSight standalone/edit: Err looks desire they don't offer it anymore but I anticipate you could find one at most computer hold on if not on ebay
She did say laptop. Eh I can't remember how long ago was it before they didn't have isight? Did the macbook range ever not have them?

Nope the macbooks were the first to feature a built in standard isight on apples laptop line,the ibook never had one and the standalone iSight camera has attachments to fit on laptops
I had a sony webcam for my HP before I abandoned that and got a mac. Needless to say sony dislike apple very much and I never got it working even with scouring the internet for drivers

hi my laptop is powerbook G4. Mac OSX v10.4 (Tiger) the model I bought was Mikomi it says it works with Mac but I couldnt get the CD in my laptop as Apple laptops drink the CD in and due to it being a small CD it wouldnt suck in so I had to get masking attach stick it to the edge and slowly displace the CD out that was slightly sticking out. I can't change surface install the driver. I then tried on my G5 and the CD just wouldnt run. Sooo.. erm... I dunno.

Mine doesn't. My laptop doesnt have a built in web cam. Usually its the camera installed. Not a webcam right. Web cam is different. Just a say hahaother webcams: http://www argos co uk/static/Browse/ID69/9555943/c_1/1|category_root|Office%2C+PC+and+phones|9555804/c_2/2|cat_9555804|PC+webcams|9555943 htm
Giggles - if you have a regular video camera you can usually plug it in and use it as a webcam. Might be a bit overkill but it's an option.
