The Shaun Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yep, as long as you have supported FireWire, it should work. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47937-isight-on-osx86/#findComment-343695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsl Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 it shows up as "unknown device" in system profiler under firewire not a cable problem because i can preview the video in xp FireWire Bus: Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec Unknown Device: Manufacturer: Unknown Model: Unknown Device Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec Connection Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec I have the similar problems of iSight like you. I think it's due to different Firewire hardware/driver. Because it could work for my other desktop PCs with nForce chips or Ich8 chip, but always fails in three laptops I own (Asus A6Jc, Asus F8Sa, and MSI PR600). Hope someone can help us ASAP.

peterclo Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Same here, though it does appear connected as an iSight in System Profiler. If it's plugged in, I get the rotating beachball if I open iChat and Delicious Library and PhotoBooth don't see any webcam plugged in The video works in Vista, so it's probably not a hardware problem.

d2a Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 my iSight shows up in the profiler, displays video in iChat, photobooth etc. but does not capture audio. audio level bar shows a level when the input (iSight) is first selected in System Prefs/Sound, but then freezes after half a second. no audio can be captured from the device and recording video or audio within Quicktime or photobooth causes an error. tested on a "real" mac and it works fine so i think it must be my firewire card - however, standard DV cam works with this FW card on my hackintosh. it's a VT6306 - what chipsets are you using?

SticMAC™ Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 @ The Shaun I love your sig! I hear ONLY Chuck Norris can get MacOSX to run on a Pentium 4HT?

drunknbass Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 i have the same issue.. in system preferences/sounds i have no audio input from my isight. and in ichat i can see a video preview fine, but i dont see any audio on the guage. also if i open quicktime and make a new video recording it shows me basically a snapshot pic and if i click record it doesnt show anything being updated in the preview and when i click stop it says error no data recieved or something like that.. my mobo is asus formula maximus and my osx install is leopard 10.5.3 and is working 100% Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47937-isight-on-osx86/#findComment-770303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rightedges Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...7&hl=iSight Looks like it's a firewire chipset issue. My ASUS P5E is having the same problem. Will try to get a NEC chipset firewire card to see whether it can help.
