Bootcamp Isight Driver

ISight is a webcam, both external and internal, developed and marketed by Apple Inc. The external iSight was sold retail for US 149, connected to a computer via a.

I have an iMac with Windows 7 running via bootcamp. As I understand it, I should be able to use my iMac s built in iSight camera in Windows but I do not see any application installed that will allow me to use it. I ran the bootcamp drivers from my Leopard disc and then did the update from Apple s support site. Am I missing something to get it working.

if you re talking about an application such as photo booth in windows to use it, I know you can take pics in the explorer main window when you access the isight webcam, other than that I don t remember.

If you want to use it to chat, then use your fav. client like yahoo, windows live messenger, etc., and use it, it should work.

Once XP or Vista is installed, you just need the Drivers from the Mac OS X installed so it knows the volume buttons and the eject button and the iSight. So yes, you can use an iSight Camera with bootcamp

I have ever attemped bootcamp before, DO NOT BE 100 SURE ABOUT WHAT I SAY, so if I m wrong, you can just undo it

Sorry to be critical, but this is, well.. misleading..

The following can be said to better explain the situation:

It is not possible to use the iMac camera under Windows 7 to take picture without seperate 3rd party software. So in a clean out-of-the-tin setup, the camera is there, functioning as a device, but you have no way to use it.

the bootcamp drivers need to be installed and this process then enables the camera as a device you can then use with your chosen software.

AFAIK most popular messaging/chat software will sucessfully use the camera Skype, Live Messenger, etc

Most WebCams come with capture software to allow you to capture pictures etc. However the Apple iMac built-in WebCam does not come with any appropriate windows software of this sort.

So, from a technical perspective, the answer is yes, it works.

But, for a user wanting to take a picture, the answer is No, it doesn t work

What we could do with is sugestions on how a user can take a picture using the built-in camera.

This will require sugestions of appropriate software that allows photo capture.

In Control Panel there is a Scanners and Cameras wizard that will let you use it.

This is ONLY appropriate on XP and Vista. On Windows 7 this is no longer available.

Yeah you just have to go into windows, insert your mac os installer dvd and an installer wizard comes up saying that it will install bootcamp, it will install drivers for all the hardware in your computer, it works great after this

Rather confused bu this statement it works great after this.

If, by works, you meant it is there as a device, then yes.

But if you mean the user can use the camera to take a picture, then no. this is wrong.. You still need on windows 7 additional not included software to take the picture..
