iCamSource does not see my Firewire iSight
« on: September 27, 2010, 11:55:17 AM »
Hi

I'm running iCamSource 2.1 on my MacPro, OSX.6.4.

When I open iCamSource, it does not see or "wake up" my Firewire iSight.

The iSight is working fine. Even if I use iChat to wake up the iSight, the camera feed still does not appear in iCamSource preferences

Any suggestions for getting iCamSource to see the iSight?

Thanks in advance.

Does the iSight appear in the Video drop-down list in iCamSource?

Please make sure there aren't any other video capture program running, such as iChat or Skype.  They might be fighting iCamSource for control of the camera.

Is the iSight plugged into a hub or extension cable?  If so, please try plugging it directly into the computer.

plugged into an extension cable -- maybe that's the issue.  I'll test.

Thanks for your help.
