iSight not being seen by my Intel MacMini
 |
Hi guys,
frustratingly the Mac camera iSight is often.mostky not beng seen by my MacMini. So I dont get to see it either! :eek:
When it DOES work, it works fine.. then it doesn't work (at no notice after a 'Sleep' til I get around to spending LOTS of time to get it somehow working with Apple support help. Annoying.
Any feedback about this?
??
Cheers,
Denisimo of Oz tralia

Hello,
What you are experiencing seems to be quite common with firewire devices. I've had this problem on multiple different computers, a few of them being Macs, and unfortunately the only solution was to keep plugging and unplugging the camera until a connection is made. There should be a better solution, but currently there are none known to me.

It comes from experience -- I've had this problem way too many times already... glad to hear that it worked for you.
