My Acer Aspire 3680 (3684NWXMi) have built-in AcerOrbiCam. Mine is working out of the box (10.4.8 & 10.4.10), without installing any third party driver. What is your OSX version?Hi everybodymacam driver did not work with my acer aspire 5583How about your other materialsmarvell yukon ethernet?Wifi?Modem?pcmcia?thanks for telling me why if it di work with yours.I'm still writing this post under windows, my hackintosh can not communicate yet.... snifffI suggest you to use USB device for LAN or wireless. I'm using USB wireless device. I use LevelOne WNC-0301USB Harware version 3. Using Ralink driver for USB, because it is universal. I manage to get my PCMCIA working, need to replace IOPCIFamily.kext to older version from 10.4.4, and copy IOPCCardFamily.kext. You can found this file in this forum. However, I'm not recommend this because using older version of IOPCIFamily.kext could/maybe prevent other harware to function properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judd Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 My cam is a Bison on an Aspire 9410z bought from walmart. LOL. everything else works on leopard fine. But no dice with the cmaera. If teh camera would work I would have a fully working 17" hackintosh. I will keep and eye on this thread. Edit. I found somethig interesting guys. I was browsing the Apple Site and found a software called PIP for webcams. It just enables you to see what is on your webcam. Well it detected my cam (bison) and it works great. Starnge how this software makes it work using it. But it can't work using any other software. Skype, iChat or anything else I have tried. Maybe somebody with a better knowldege of this coudl run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyster Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Is the mic of the webcam also supported? When I use the mic of my Laptop, Skype crashed at the beginning of the call. A webcam with mic could sove the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have my sonix webcam monitor working with my cam but you cant do anything with it. Its just like PIP. I've asked this 1,000 times why can one app access a supposedly inaccessible camera and then the apple apps wont access it at all. Whats the deal with that? If you want to see my cam experience its here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=100897 Actually photobooth will access your camera if its like mine. Go to accounts under system preferences and change your login icon and click edit. A mini photobooth will load and take your picture. Its like torture, works there not anywhere else. ANNOYING.

magnat2 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I do... An Acer 5720 using leopard... my camera doesnt work at the moment... I have an acer 5720 and camera working in i chat, at first it didnt work because the graphic driver for X3100 card didnt support quartz extreme or 3d acceleration, fixed that, all OK...

00diabolic Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've done some more digging on this partial support issue with OSX apps. Apparently its because of apples {censored} ass UVC driver. The reason some cams dont work with photo booth is because apple forces them to work at higher res then they are capable of doing. When the cam does not load at the requested res it fails and you get no picture. IOUSBFamily is the kext that needs to be edited. In particular the AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext is the plugin. Supposedly the version of AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext from 10.4.9 is the best version for working with the most amount of cams out there. I have been unable to find this kext online anywhere but when I find it I plan to try this in leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micumouse Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I also have acer 5583 and the orbicam is detected by macam but there's no picture/image out. Guess it's a ray of hope for our built in camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
