Ihave exactly same problem with my iMac 12,2 (mid 2011). Could you please share details regarding Bootcamp 6 installation. Have you installed entire set of drivers or only sound (and perhaps isight camera)?

I am want to use my Logitech C290 webcam with an iBook (black) with OS 10.4 Tiger.

iSight Disabler did work with this webcam in the past but does not seem to now.

All this to say that I am very interested in accessing the webcam because I use it with FrameThief, stop-motion animation software, when working with children. Development on this software has been discontinued but it is the perfect tool for young children because of its simplicity and completeness.


The problem with disabling SIP, using isightdisabler, then re-enabling SIP is you will have to do that every time an OS patch re-enables the camera. I went through this pain with every beta patch that came out.


It works well on my macbook air with 10.10.4. Howerver it also stops me from using an external USB borescope, unless I re-enable the driver. I decided to go hardware. I bought some silver paint and painted over the camera as well as the mic holes. No more web cam, and audio recording is muffled to an indistinct wisper.


This is awesome! I downgraded to 10.9.5 recently from 10.10.1, and there was no way to turn off TeamViewer accessing my webcam during meetings. It was using too much CPU. With this script, I saved it as an app, and now I can just launch it like a normal app and disable or enable webcam.


Current version (5.0) still works on Snow Leopard. For those who also want to disable audio input, simply go to Audio-MIDI-Setup and completely mute the microphone input. (That should be sufficient imho.)


If the script could detect which version of OS X the user was running and then apply the correct strings, that would be great. I am not a scriptor, nor do I have any desire to be. I have used the iSight Disabler script for security purposes on tons of different computers and loved the ease of use.


Version of OS X?

Version of iSight Disabler?

How are you running the script?

Did you quit/restart the applications using the iSight after running the script?

What application can still use the iSight after running the script?


I need to use my external usb webcam with uStream. Hoped this script would turn off the inbuilt iSight and allow me to use the external aGent V5 cam with its wide angle lens and low light facilities. However it actually turns off both. Any ideas?


I for the life of me can not get this to work. Any help would be great! I have downloaded the program and tried dropping it in the script files and tried to enable the camera and still nothing works. please help!


What is the best way to kill the Photo Booth application by using ARD? Or is that even possible? Would like to limit access to it without completely disabling the application. Tech coach in a school system.


I use the new logitech HD and it work fine n my Snow 10.6.6 no problem so far. I also use Logitech 9000 no problem. i use a dock . when i have my macbook pro out and open the app it connect to isight and when i dock it it and reopen the app it automatically finds my logitech. may be this help you guys..


what i need to know is when i am running an application using using isight or the logitech it fine but when i go to log in windows it shuts of the isight and gives me error msg. in windows you can use the camera while the other user log in to their account.. is there is any way i could make it not do it


I am new to scripts and really like this one. I use it in my computer lab via Apple Remote Desktop to enable or disable isight as needed and it works great. Is there a way I can send remotely via ARD passing the admin username and password so I am not prompted for it on all 26 computers in my lab?? I would like to do this as silently as possible


To disable the iSight in later versions of Leopard you also need to chmod on

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/VDC.plugin/Contents/MacOS/VDC

Just as the script does for Snow Leopard. So basically if you eliminate the differences in the script between 10.5 and 10.6 it will work with both.


does anybody have a copy of the quicktimevusbdcdigitizer.component file that comes with the tiger install cd? or even the .pkg file that contains it? I do not have my install disc with me but urgently need the file, as I deleted it before to disable isight. Thanks for any help in advance..


please, i actually need somewhat the opposite, my isight stopped working all of a sudden, some days back, after i noticed a sudden report, when i tried connecting my iPhone to the USB, saying the device was drawing too much power from my notebook, thus some or more USB ports have been shut down/disabled. only to discover my iSight was the main victim of this.. Please how can i get it back. will be really nice if someone could be of help, i jst got the air 3 days ago, and now this. :(


I am trying to use this software in conjunction with a Proscope HR microscope that is usb based and I noticed that the Proscope software will still not see my microscope even though the I-Sight camera has been turned off. Any thoughts on being able to toggle through the USB ports to allow a plugged in device to be used.


First, this week after reading that 10.4.9 had more improvements for UVC cameras, I went to the Logitech website to see what cameras they had that supported UVC. (btw, UVC is a new standard that is included in Vista and OSX for camera support).


I bought the Logitech Ultra Vision (861238), and connected it to my Powerbook G4 (PPC) and can confirm that it works correctly with all the apps, such as iChatAV, Photobooth, etc. It's a very nice camera, quality is excellent, and our neighbourhood store was selling them at 1/2 price. It's a little big as cameras go, so maybe the Fusion might have been a better choice.


Some of these cameras above have been in production for a while, and newer models of the above have been released as UVC cameras. I know the Fusion earlier model is not UVC, only the later model is, so check the part number carefully.


I think that most cameras are pretty much plug and play on mac os; that's one area that apple has done a lot of work to ensure compatibility, because while an idiot home user isn't likely to pick up just any NIC and plug it into their mac, with any camera they just might. I plugged in my old Sony Handycam by USB, and it functioned just like an isight; on WXP, I had to find special drivers buried deep on sony's website. A logitech, I don't remember the model, also worked the same. Granted this was on a REAL mac, (I have yet to get my hackintosh working) but if your USB works, anything plugged into it should work just like on a mac.


While this may be true for some, I have 4 other logitach and creative webcams that do not work with osx in a plug and play manner, some of them work if you use external drivers such as macam, but i've had a hit and miss experience with that.


Apple only added generic usb camera support in 10.4.9, and only added support for UVC compatible cameras. Not all cameras support the UVC specs. And this support is in 10.4.9 without having to dig deap into websites to see if the manufacturer supported osx.


Windows Vista native support for UVC universal video class USB webcams will probably be a HUGE benefit to Apple Mac users - the marketplace is shifting and the days of hunting down cams that just work and futzing with drivers will be a thing of the past soon. Apple's support of UVC under Tiger & Leopard for it's built-in iSight models is a godsend. In the meantime I compiled a short list of what works at: www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com -- Gonna spend some time with BootCamp VMware and Parallels seing how an Intel Mac handles dual environments and how my USB cams behave this weekend. Webcams have been on the Mac since CU-SeeMe days and Connectix QuickCams in 1995 over DIAL-UP no less - and yet oddly somehow after all these years 2008 seems will finally be the year that video-conferencing really does hit the mainstream.


In case anyone still has this problem. I use macbook pro 15 mid 2017. In the intel energie options just turn of all energy saving stuff. Important because i had the same problem. I had to do it for battery and non battery options to make it work. Don't know why.


Stuck on step 2, If you see two Microsoft Basic Display Adapter devices under Display adapters in Device Manager, proceed to install Intel graphics drivers. I only see one Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, what should I do?


My issue is when I run the integrated.bat and it shows successful. Then I go to the Windows Menu and click shut down. Once it's fully shut down, I connect my eGPU (Razer Core X w/ RTX 2080Ti). It instantly starts up (the GPU), and show's the GEFORCE RTX lights (maybe the comp doesn't shut down properly?). Then I try turning on my comp and there is nothing on the display. I have to disconnect the GPU, restart the comp and then go back to Windows.


@yousaf_amir I no longer have the 2016 15" MBP but I remember the RTX graphics card caused a boot hang. It's an incompatibility issue between the RTX eGPU and this MBP. I'd recommend hot-plug the RTX eGPU once Windows 10 is fully loaded.


But when I tried running the game, I always had an error which started with Video_TDR... Nxxxxxxx.sys. Upon research i found that it was something to do with with the Intel drivers. I did try both Intel and Nvidia drivers reinstall clean. But that didn't work either.


@itsage, I would suggest to start this guide with the naming of the MacBook models where this guide fits (I think 15-inch 2016 mainly). There are quite are number of users with completely different models following this guide this leads to confusion.


I get boot up issues when I activate the integrated graphics. It hangs at a windows logo with no loading sign and occasionally smc crashes (this can be observed by a spike in fan speed and then the reconnection of all USB devices) and then the entire thing shuts off. I've reinstalled bootcamp and tried multiple times but I can't seem to be able to restart after installing the intel drivers. I only plan on using the egpu for external display acceleration. Can I just stop after uninstalling radeon pro drivers? I realized that most of these steps are only needed for internal display acceleration.
