I have the macally ice cam 2 usb2.0 for my mac. When I "skype", i can see caller but they can not see me. Is there a video driver to download. I have tried some drivers but it did not help the problem. thank you

I have the exact same issue, the sporadic on/off issues started shortly after I upgraded to 10.5.8... anyone know of any solutions?

the ICE CAM is a not suitable camera for your MAC.. in fact the ICE CAM (of which i have several) are 3rd rated as they work with skype and yahoo applications only.

hi

i have this webcam too -- it works well with skype, yahoo -- not too many applications work well with it.

hope this helps you

It is dependent on your system. Icecam2 works on system 10.4.11 and upwards. You can download the driver from here http://www.macally.com/en/Techsupport/Drivers.asp

If you have these systems it should be a simple case of plugging it in and using it. With Syke you would go to preferences then click on the Video tab once there choose your camera from he drop down list and clcik on enable skype video and you should be able to use it.

Hope this helps.

The manufacturer does not list this cam as compatible with Skype. However you can try adjusting it with the Skype settings.

Skype>Tools>Options>Video Settings> Webcam settings>

Drivers can be found here: http://www.macally.com/EN/Techsupport/Drivers.asp

If you want to use the camera with iChat you will need the third party software called iUSBcam found here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/

Side note, I have yet to get this camera to work in OSX 10.3.9, so tread lightly.

Normal 0 There are a number of things that can cause the camera to freeze up the computer.
First I’d check to see how much memory is installed in the computer. It takes additional memory to operate the camera.
Hope this helps. Bud

Hello all, we supply Macally Icecams through our company and have done so for many years.
The camera works absolutely fine with Skype.
Unfortunately Skype do not make it easy for people to understand how, so we wrote a user friendly blog about it and it can be viewed here:

Simply copy and paste the above link into your browser to find the easy set up procedure.

Hope this helps

Normal 0 Did you install the software with the camera connected to the computer? Disconnect the camera from the USB port and reinstall the software. When the program asks you to connect the camera, do so, and it should work. Hope this is of some help. Bud

Below is info for setting up Audio & Video to chat on line after you install , either Skype or a messenger program.


Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.

Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

A. Skype Setup:

After downloading and installing Skype set it up as follows:

1. Go to TOOLS, then OPTIONS, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
2. Then click on the Video Settings.
3. The camera if installed properly will come up and show a picture.
4. Then on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now see and talk to you.

B. Yahoo Setup:

After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger set it up as follows:

1. Go to Messenger at the top left and click on it.
2. Next go down to Preferences and click on it.
3. Next Calling and Devices on the right and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
4. Next go to the Test Audio section and (in blue writing) click on “Open the call setup assistant” and follow the instructions on the left window.

C. Windows Live Messenger:

1. After you start Windows Live Messenger, expand the view by clicking on the square on top left next to the red X.
2. Then on the Windows Live messenger window on the right side, click on “ “Show Menus.” And then click on “Show the Menu Bar”.
3. Next go to the Menu Bar on right side, click on “ “Action.”
4. Go to “TOOLS” and click “Audio and Video Setting” and follow the instructions.

NOTE: You audio and video shoud work. Enjoy.

When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope this helps. Bud
