JDubU Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I am not able to get my Logitech USB webcam to work at all. It is recognized as an attached USB device in System Information but it does not show up as a camera or a microphone. Facetime, iPhoto, and maccam all say that there is no connected camera. Being a UVC device, it is supposed to be inherently compatible with OSX 10.4.9 or later. Is there a kext that I need to add? Do I need a different DSDT? Hardware: Latitude D630 with Nvidia 135m running Mountain Lion 10.8.1 Logitech C510 USB webcam (UVC(Universal Video Class) supported) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted September 7, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 7, 2012 The officially and unofficially supported cameras are listed here: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6471/~/uvc-webcam-support-for-mac-os-10.4.9-and-above I've found that not all equipment bearing the listed product name, bears the same part # or model #. For example, I have a C250 and a QuickCam Pro5000 that I've tried under SL/Lion/ML. My C250 works properly under all releases and corresponds 100% to the info listed for that camera. My Pro5000 bears an identical model # (V-UAX16) but a different part # (861283 v supported 861306) and does not work under any SL/Lion/ML. It's probably worth checking the info on the label (if it's still there of course...). Sometimes, things are a bit weird with Logitech cameras: according to web site info, my QuickCam Pro 5000 is not supported under Win7 (Logitech provides no Win7-compatible driver or software for it) and, indeed, it does not work under Win7 x86. Yet it's fully functionnal under Win7 x64, obviously through a Microsoft built-in driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The label on my webcam says: M/N: V-U0016 P/N: 860-000261 PID: LZ021S7 Which matches the fourth "supported list" entry: HD Webcam C510 V-U0016 860-000261 I am wondering if anyone has a working USB webcam (of any brand/model) on a EDP install of Mountain Lion on a Latitude D630 (NVidia)?

Administrators Hervé Posted September 8, 2012 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2012 If you tried your installation a week ago, you should be using EDP v4-r7. Run EDP tool and you'll see the version/release at the very top line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
