To turn on your iSight camera, open an application that uses a webcam, like "Photo Booth". Your iSight should turn on when an application requires it to do so.

How do you transfer pictures from a digital camera on Mac OS X?

Connect the camera with a USB cable to the USB port on your mac. After a few moments an icon should appear on your desktop or in the volumes folder with the name of your camera's storage disk. If you want to copy the photos to a folder in the finder, simply open the volume and click through the folders to find the photos. You can then drag the ones you want to your hard drive. If you want to import the photos to your iPhoto library, open iPhoto and connect the camera if it is not already connected. Wait a few moments for the camera to mount. You should see the camera in the sidebar in iPhoto. Click on it, and select the option to import the photos.

Your video camera isn't working please help when ever i play the videos on my mac its jus a black square wit sound?

Too many variables to give an answer (which camera, which version of Mac OS/Quicktime, what video format etc.) but you should ensure you are using the latest software available to you from both Apple and the camera's manufacturer. You could try adding the Perian plug-in to Quicktime (See links below) or disabling it if you already have it. If that does not help try viewing the video with the VLC player. what u need to do is play the video and if it pops up with a black screen with sound all u need to do is restart ur video. Mine does dat too and i fixed mine

Can't install vivitar camera software on mac?

Very few Vivitar cameras come with Mac OS X support the software is often for Windows computers. Try connecting the camera to the Mac with the USB cable, turn the camera on, and see if iPhoto or the Image Capture application recognises it. If the camera has a removable memory card then the addition of a card reader may help. Specific details of camera and version of Mac OS X would help.

You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
