Oh man…just a quick rant about my webcam problem….if you care :).

I have an Orange Micro iBot Firewire WebCam. I LOVE it. It’s a great webcam… that was until I got my new Macs…

First, when I got my G5 I plugged in my iBot and got ready to visit via iChat AV with Steve and no sound. WTF? I thought the iBot had a Mic? Apparently not, apprarently the iMac, PowerBook, and iBooks I had owned all had built in mics! The G5 does not. Ok no prob, I’ll just get a mic, cheaper than getting an iSight right? Well…

Next we got the Powerbook G4 12″ and the new 12″ iBook G4. The other day I wanted to web cam with Brian in Florida and I had audio but no Video. Thru much trouble shooting I realised that I could use and charge my iPod and use my FireWire hard drives…but no iBot.

UPDATE!
Orange Micro was as stumped as I am, so after a 2 week ordeal…I give up! I went to day and bought an iSight. I will test when I get home from work…I hope it works…

Zya…

UPDATE!
Well even though I left it at work on Monday, I brought it home last nite and bingo! The iSight works on all of our Macs! Orange Micro offered to replace it, I might do it because maybe a new one will work? I dunno! Ugh!
