QuickCam and SKYPE on MAC OS X

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. This is a known issue with the latest version of Skype. The latest version of Skype won't run on Mac pc so you need to download the older version of skype. Please uninstall the Skype program on on you Mac and download the older version on the link below.

You cannot open the application Skype because it is not supported on this architecture is an error caused by Skype and not by the webcam.

Old Skype Download

If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya

Hope this helps. Bud

yes they have one its called Quickcam Vision pro u can find it here it supports Mac OS 10.4.11 or higher so need to update your mac also a little bit

If it was helpful rate fixya

I had the same problem, but on a iMac G4, and got it to work with a macam driver. I had lost the installation disk to my Logitech QuickCam Chat, so it wasn't recognizing the camera. The Logitech website only offers driver downloads for PC.

Go here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
and download the "current version" of the driver.
Then install it on your machine, making sure to drag the "macam component" to the suggested Library> Quicktime folder. This will help it work with programs like Skype. If you only install the "macam," it will show you a camera image directly, but won't do anything else.

Detailed Description This article covers whether a QuickCam work on a Macintosh computer.
Answer This article applies to the following operating systems:
Mac OS 10.1.5 - 10.2.6
NOTE: Later versions of OSX are not supported by QuickCam.

The Logitech Pocket Digital 130 is supported natively, so all you have to do is plug it in. You can then use it in iPhoto™, a program that comes with Mac OS® X.
To use the Pocket Digital, you must install the Pocket Digital driver, available HERE. You can then use it in iPhoto™, a program that comes with Mac OS® X.
If you would like to use any of the other cameras mentioned, you must install QuickCam 8.0.1, included with the camera.
NOTE: QuickCam 8.0.1 should only be installed in Mac OS 10.1.5 - 10.2.6.
Mac OS 9 (OS 9.0.4 - 9.2.2)
To use a Logitech camera on your Mac OS 9 computer, please consider the following models: QuickCam Pro 3000®, QuickCam® Pro 4000 and the QuickCam® for Notebooks Pro. In order for these cameras to work, you must install QuickCam 5.0.1, which is included with the camera. It is also available HERE.
