[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 999605, member: 101749"] Welcome mate and hope we can help.. From what i see is you have your system up to date with 10.4.11. Which has me thinking, if the cam works as a normal cam and comes up with no blemishes, it could well be Skype that is the issue. But 1st lets do a little trouble shooting. 1. Lets try and repair permissions... which is Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility Once the window comes up in the left column, click on [I]YOUR[/I] HD and then the Repair Permissions. Let it do its work, and if you havnt cleaned the system out for a while, it could take quite a while :( Once its complete log out the back in and see if it works. 2. If it is still not working, create a user account, log out of your and then into the user account and see if it works. 3. it might be a matter of downgrading or upgrading if you havnt the latest Skype that is compatible to 10.4.11 4. It might help to if you uninstall it too. Not sure if it has a uninstaller for it. If it has use that and if not dl [URL="http://mainmenu.en.softonic.com/mac"]MainMenu[/URL] and when you drag the App into it, it will trash ANY associated files/folders that are hidden away. Re-install it and see if that works. On that what version Skype are you using? I am running Snow Leopard and had to downgrade to get it to work with my system. Give all that a try and if it still persists come back to us and we will see what we can do. But post your Skype version before hand and as much information possible, so it gives us a better chance of weeding out the problem for you. Well hope it gets you started anyways :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
