[QUOTE="zacmoncrief, post: 648539, member: 55077"] I've come to the place that ALWAYS has am answer for me- and I hope it's the case this time, too. I am trying to run close to 50-60 feet of firewire over to where my LCD TV is located to power my isight camera from my Mac Mini and am having problems. It was suggested that I buy (5) "IEEE-1394a Extension Cables" (says on package can be cascaded up to 10 of these) to help power the isight at the end of this long run. I purchased these cables, and daisy chained them together, ending with the run to my camera, yet it didn't seem to work. I'd get my green light on my cam for a second, then it would freeze my ichat program. I'd really like to be able to do this yet have no idea how to make this work. My "media Center" is located at one end of this room, so it's where the computer lives already. I'm hoping someone knows how to fix this problem. Please help:) :Oops: LAtest horrible update- now my isight doesn't want to work after plugging in those repeaters. ARGGGG- Green light comes on for a sec, then shuts off. I'll deal with tying to figure that out next. I hope someone out there has some good ideas. [/QUOTE]
