An odd fix for an iSight video/microphone issue
Authored by: meck on Sep 13, '03 04:04:20PM

I had the same experience - was about to send back, but in trying to talk to a PC friend switched to Yahoo messenger - assumed something else had fixed problem, but this now seems likely!

An odd fix for an iSight video/microphone issue

Yep - worked for me too - couldn't get the thing to come on for ichat or ichat streaming icon - system profiler would only see it sometimes

Started yahoo messenger and plugged in the isight - it works - quit - and now it works for ichat too!

Installed Yahoo IM, got the video working, quit, restarted iChat and no more "camera in use" (so far, so good). Hope the fix sticks. We'll see. BTW, I have had this problem for weeks, at least 3 times a day "Camera in use by another application" but I have no other cam, no other app, no previous firewire devices. Thanks for the tip!
