Curious Mac to MSN OK -- I got iSight, I got aMSN as per advice proffered here.

It seems to log onto MSN fine ... but how do I get the cam to work (its little eye is shut) and open a cam session? Because if I can't get this thing to work, my career as a camwhore is stillborn.

  • Advice here. BTW - Your AskMeFi here.
  • Thanks for fixing my link, tellurian, but if you look at the last question on that forum, that's my problem. I can't even take a snapshot! The computer recognises the cam, it's all powered up, etc., but I don't know how the hell to operate it! Pliss excuse thickness.
  • Does the camera work in iChat? Even without a buddy you can check your own image by double clicking on the icon next to your name. If its little eye is shut, you have to open it by turning the front ring clockwise 10 degrees. The camera might be in privacy mode.
  • The camera might be in privacy mode. I thank you!
  • Also: get a friggin' PC.
  • Well, when does the show start? Does it imvolve monkeys? *taps fingers impatiently*
  • you got a webcam!? *hops in tub, puts on kittycat mask*
  • ...its little eye is shut... for some reason this reminded me of poor little cyclops, the one eyed kitten that could never close its eye. That died. Having hardly lived. I feel rather sad now.
