Another computer issue in the world order. This time an individual had a question about Macintosh computers and webcam compatibility. Here is the original initial question quoted verbatim below.
I need help getting my new Logitech C920 web cam to work.
This individual was using a Apple Macintosh mini computer with Apple Macintosh Mojave 10.14 operating system installed. They had purchased an application from the Apple Applicatin store called “Web Cam Settings”. What a fucking waste of money.
Anyways, they had watched another Youtube video to try and help them install the Logitech C920 on their Apple Macintosh mini computer with Apple Macintosh Mojave 10.14 operating system installed. This is what solved this conundrum.
You can download and install the Logitech C920 webcam software from the following link.
They were then able to use their Logitech C920 webcam with their Apple Macintosh mini computer. When it comes to Logitech web cameras and Apple Macintosh computers, it can become a crap shoot. It really depends on the exact model of Logitech web camera you have on whether or not you will be able to use it.
Also, important is what Apple Macintosh operating system you are using. You do NOT necessarily want to assume that your Logitech web camera will work with your Apple Macintosh computer. Also, you do NOT want to necessarily assume that the operating system you are using on your Apple Macintosh computer will be compatible with your Logitech web camera.
You could always first find out what exact web camera model you have or wish to purchase. Then find out the exact operating system you are using. For this example this individual was using an Apple Macintosh 10.14 Mojave operating system.
Then you want to verify on Logitech’s website whether or not your Logitech web camera will work or not. Sometimes there will be a software download available. However, depending on the exact operating system and Logitech we camera model, there may NOT be any software download available for your Apple Macintosh computer.
Also, you want to first install the software onto your Macintosh computer. Then once that is accomplished successfully, you connect the web camera to a Universal Serial Bus port on your Macintosh computer. Finally, you open up a video software application similar to Facetime, Skype, etc. to test your web camera.
These instructions were written for an Apple Macintosh mini computer with Apple Macintosh Mojave 10.14 operating system installed. You could certainly use the basis of these instructions for other computers and operating systems. Linux operating systems and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Astaire's ronconi day in akhira calm
00:14
otro video paraty boy do you know how
00:20
you can get rid of YouTube subscribers
00:24
walls you have to do is say something
00:26
offensive and I don't I don't [ __ ]
00:30
care about subscribers I just notice
00:33
every time I upload a video my
00:35
subscriber numbers dip for a day or well
00:38
you know a little while it's like well
00:40
who [ __ ] cares all right let me get
00:42
to this video let me cut to the chase
00:48
I need help getting my new Logitech c920
00:54
webcam to work this individual was using
01:00
a Macintosh mini Mac and crap I mean
01:04
running Mojave operating system which is
01:07
OS 10.14 anything else that they
01:14
specified
01:20
they bought some webcam software that I
01:23
never heard of called Apple app or off
01:30
the apple app store called webcam
01:32
settings they also purchased the webcam
01:34
at Office Max what else it shows up in
01:39
their apps folder they try to launch it
01:42
and then there's a dialog window that
01:44
opens but all the tools are grayed out
01:47
that's probably because the Macintosh
01:49
does not detect the webcam so this video
01:54
is obviously the title of the video you
01:58
know what what is it
02:05
logitech c920 webcam mac Mohave
02:08
compatible yes it is and here is how you
02:11
make it work now but now I'll say that
02:15
in overtime I don't want to cut to the
02:17
overtime yet trying to make Logitech
02:26
webcam work on Apple Mac and crap can be
02:28
a [ __ ] pain in the ass they're not
02:31
all compatible it just really depends on
02:33
and you got different versions of
02:35
Macintosh operating system so let's just
02:37
stick with the title of the video Mojave
02:40
this is not about Sierra hi Sierra
02:43
El Capitan you know now this is about
02:46
Mojave
02:56
here is the answer they even tried to
02:59
watch another YouTube video I didn't
03:01
watch that YouTube video so I don't know
03:03
but they did claim that they tried to
03:08
have the Mojave McIntosh work with the
03:11
Logitech c920 webcam couldn't get it to
03:14
work
03:21
- work alright my audio obviously works
03:30
here is the answer right here so you're
03:33
gonna want to click on the link in the
03:35
description box below that'll take you
03:37
to my blog post at a gnat computers comm
03:39
where you are going to download a pkg
03:43
file which is specific for Apple Mac and
03:46
crap Macintosh operating system
03:47
basically it's kind of like like a
03:49
driver however when it comes to Apple
03:52
Macintosh and Logitech webcams they
03:55
don't all need drivers and they don't
03:57
they're not always compatible so it's
03:59
just it to me it's a [ __ ] crapshoot
04:01
you know I'm saying it just really
04:02
depends on though the version of these
04:07
holley weirdos are weird I hardly ever
04:10
watched television the last few days
04:12
I've turned it on cut just to see what
04:14
garbage is on there and it just gets
04:16
more and more sick especially the
04:19
entertainers and the narcissistic
04:24
athletes and I was just oh my god what
04:27
the [ __ ] man anyways I think Lady Gaga
04:31
was on and what the [ __ ] is that freak
04:35
show and anyways anyways I digress
04:42
you're going to download the driver you
04:45
can download and install the webcam
04:47
software from the following link
04:49
it's a pkg file and once you download
04:54
and install it you're Macintosh you run
04:57
well running oh my god there's one
04:59
YouTube I can't name him because I don't
05:01
I don't get personal there's one YouTube
05:05
content creator in the technology niche
05:08
he might be a YouTube Technology shell
05:10
I'm not sure but he gets offended if you
05:13
use the word running to describe using
05:16
an operating system like this example
05:19
running Microsoft Windows 10 running
05:22
Macintosh Mohave I'm not making this
05:25
[ __ ] up he gets all [ __ ] offended and
05:28
gets all riled up and I've heard him get
05:30
all angry on his videos I'm like
05:32
language is just abstract it's just a
05:35
way to communicate I don't know why
05:37
you're [ __ ] so uptight over just the
05:39
word or the phrase running I guess he
05:42
thinks that you're a [ __ ] idiot and a
05:43
[ __ ] if you use that verbage to
05:45
describe using an operating system I
05:47
don't know a lot of these youtube tech
05:49
technology [ __ ] a lot of them
05:51
are obviously to me they're very
05:54
narcissistic they're very arrogant and
05:56
they're very conceited and they're
05:57
easily offended hide address back to
06:00
this so click on the link in the
06:01
description box below it'll take you to
06:03
my blog post Sainik appears calm where
06:06
you will be able to download the
06:08
software to get your logitech c920
06:12
webcam to work on apple macintosh mojave
06:15
10.14 anything further I have not
06:21
written a blog post I won't be writing
06:22
the blog post for another couple of days
06:24
I record these videos I create a search
06:29
engine optimized title and then with
06:32
YouTube YouTube is a dumpster fire it's
06:35
a [ __ ] waste of time almost I still
06:37
make some money off for YouTube but the
06:39
content per million the CPM just tanked
06:43
so I don't even really worry about
06:45
making money at this point I just you
06:47
know it's like whatever
06:48
but however some of my videos still
06:50
receive tens of thousands of views last
06:54
year
06:55
I think I've had a I had a few that
06:57
received eight or thousand 10,000 that's
07:00
not bad but the days of a hundred
07:03
thousand two hundred thousand five
07:05
hundred thousand now those days are gone
07:06
I think unless you're a technology shill
07:09
and you got him anyways I don't want to
07:11
die aggressive bus subscribers alright
07:13
so I have not written a blog post but
07:16
when I my videos this is over time now
07:20
you can [ __ ] leave you probably are
07:21
really left I don't [ __ ] care when
07:23
you leave just make sure you watch the
07:25
video and make sure that you watch the I
07:30
[Music]
07:34
normally don't talk about that but make
07:36
sure you watch that okay
07:49
over time
07:52
this [ __ ] below me is too loud
07:55
their [ __ ] TV is too loud or they're
07:58
talking too loud the problem is it's
08:01
after hours and there's nobody in the
08:03
office and I don't even know if I can
08:06
call them complaint I could guess wait
08:08
until tomorrow
08:09
but they're really [ __ ] on my nerve
08:13
all right I record my videos I search
08:19
engine optimize the title that's very
08:21
important and then because of the way I
08:25
create my videos it could be days it
08:29
could be weeks it could be months it
08:31
could even be six months it might even
08:32
be a year until I see a lot of views on
08:35
my videos and so that's why I don't
08:38
obsess over right in the blog post
08:40
because I do not record my videos for my
08:43
subscribers I don't [ __ ] care how
08:44
many subscribers I have and you know I'm
08:47
saying anyways alright so this is
08:50
overtime with regards to the
08:54
compatibility with logitech webcam and
08:58
macintosh it's a crapshoot it really
09:00
depends on the model and also the
09:05
version of Macintosh operating system
09:07
that you are using here I'm saying
09:14
I cannot tell you if Catalina supports
09:18
Logitech c920 probably not Catalina has
09:22
been a disaster I'll be blunt and
09:23
[ __ ] honest Mac and crap
09:25
Catalina oh oh I'm watching myself on
09:35
YouTube
09:36
I don't like YouTube anymore for many
09:38
reasons and another reason is their
09:40
their [ __ ] dashboards just anyways
09:48
probably not Catalina
09:50
because Catalina is pretty new and it's
09:54
been nothing but a disaster there's a
09:56
lot of software that does not work with
09:59
Catalina we're talking about big-name
10:02
software that is not compatible TurboTax
10:07
what else I think Adobe some of the
10:09
dhobi and you know what I'm saying and
10:13
then like I said stipulated earlier when
10:14
it comes to webcams
10:16
well it well more specifically
10:18
succinctly I don't see many Rick I don't
10:21
receive many questions about other brand
10:23
web cameras it's almost always logitech
10:26
and when it comes to Macintosh it can be
10:29
a disaster so Catalina probably does not
10:32
support the Logitech c920 but I could be
10:35
wrong
10:36
so here's it here's a tip before you buy
10:40
a logitech webcam if you own a Macintosh
10:44
computer it really doesn't matter it
10:46
could be an older one or even a
10:48
brand-new one with Catalina 10.15 make
10:52
sure and in its if it's important if
10:55
it's important that you get your webcam
10:59
works on your Macintosh then look
11:05
beforehand before you purchase the
11:08
logitech webcam make sure it's
11:11
compatible look up the the
11:13
specifications the hardware
11:15
specifications even on the box it
11:18
probably should tell you and because a
11:21
lot of these computer clowns what they
11:23
they just assume never assume
11:26
now it's not the the staples easy button
11:30
never assume that your hardware device
11:33
will work really on any operating system
11:35
but you know we're talking Macintosh I
11:39
would say especially Macintosh because
11:42
Macintosh compared to wind blows in my
11:46
opinion a lot of the hardware is is this
11:50
not now it's not gonna necessarily be
11:53
compatible
11:54
well B probably it could be because
11:57
Microsoft has the market share in
12:00
computing what is it seventy-five
12:01
percent whatever so it has the majority
12:06
of the market share that could be part
12:08
of it never assumed that a hardware
12:11
device is going to work on any computer
12:15
Linux Windows Macintosh so that's my
12:18
goal tip of this video before you run
12:20
out to buy a logitech webcam or order it
12:23
off of Amazon or Ebay or wherever make
12:28
sure that that exact model first you
12:30
need to know the model that's another
12:32
problem that these computer clowns give
12:34
me is that they don't even know how to
12:36
look on the hardware device itself under
12:39
on it there's a sticker or they threw
12:42
away the box or they don't even know
12:43
what model of webcam the person and I'm
12:46
like my logic just tells me that how is
12:49
that possible that you buy any kind of a
12:50
hardware device and you don't know what
12:53
the model is
12:56
here's another tip save the box or save
12:59
the pamphlet that comes with it if it
13:02
has hardware specifications you're I'm
13:05
saying or just use your brain I mean
13:07
take take the time to remember what
13:10
hardware what model you're using a lot a
13:12
lot of times with hardware devices and I
13:16
think that that webcam right there I
13:18
think probably has the model on a
13:20
sticker underneath or are underneath
13:23
it's probably on it if not you know I'm
13:25
saying you should really understand and
13:28
know what technology you're using to me
13:30
there are no excuses you know I'm saying
13:31
it because I'm an [ __ ]
13:32
all right any other tips and then make
13:37
sure once you know what model of webcam
13:41
I need to run because I'm almost at the
13:43
15 minute mark I try to keep my minute
13:45
my videos shorter than wow around 15
13:48
well it depends on what type of video
13:49
but a video like this now I don't need
13:51
to be talking this long
13:54
I'm just giving you some extra tips as a
13:57
real-world computer technician once you
14:01
know the model number very important
14:05
logitech's website they always have
14:07
drivers or they have information about
14:09
your webcam and then that's where I go
14:13
directly I always go I always try to go
14:15
directly to the source which in this
14:17
case would be logitech comm then once
14:21
you know the model numbers in this
14:24
instance is the c920 which is very
14:26
popular they I think they still sell
14:28
them brand new even I think on their own
14:30
website I think I could be wrong but I
14:32
think definitely on what Amazon and eBay
14:35
brand new because it's a it's a good
14:37
webcam that's the c920 that is recording
14:42
this video it records I think in 1080p
14:45
even if not 720p
14:54
find out what versions of Macintosh
14:59
operating system it is compatible with
15:01
you have to know because no you can't
15:05
just buy a logitech webcam and hook it
15:08
up to your Macintosh and expect it to
15:11
work out of the box
15:12
no not for my experiences not no because
15:15
you just never you never know there are
15:19
some logitech webcam that do not work
15:21
actually some don't even work on Mac at
15:24
all I think they might be older ones or
15:27
whatever and don't us and then
15:30
definitely do not assume that when a new
15:33
operating system rolls out like Catalina
15:35
that oh it will work with you know the
15:39
latest and greatest or any old Logitech
15:43
webcam no now I'm not allowed to check
15:46
affiliate but I think I I think I've
15:48
tried to become an affiliate and I
15:49
couldn't find I don't think they have
15:51
like a official affiliate program
15:53
logitech alright have to look again I'm
15:57
not allowed to check to affiliate
15:59
however I want to become an affiliate
16:01
and they're from my experiences they're
16:05
pretty [ __ ] good webcams in my
16:08
opinion they're the best because like I
16:10
said as a computer technician I don't
16:12
receive that many other requests for
16:14
other brands really because it's like I
16:18
mean when you think of webcams
16:21
who do you think though I don't they
16:24
must have a monopoly I mean I don't know
16:25
they're they must have the market share
16:27
of the majority or something because I
16:29
very rarely see any other brands they're
16:33
not perfect they're not gonna be perfect
16:34
you're I'm saying but you know overall
16:38
pretty [ __ ] good and then one once
16:40
you get the proper software installed
16:43
shouldn't be a problem
16:44
and with on the Mac I got to run on a
16:46
Mac let's see they they open FaceTime
16:49
they use FaceTime which i think is yeah
16:52
that's free on on a Macintosh and they
16:55
asked me if they if they needed to leave
16:57
the Logitech software open no just as
17:00
long as you install the software on a
17:02
Macintosh which you download it and you
17:05
drag it
17:05
you can you know double-click it to open
17:08
it or you can also drag it to
17:10
applications to install it and then
17:13
we're gonna run the installer and then
17:15
once that's done you don't really need
17:17
to leave it open
17:18
same thing on Windows actually just make
17:21
sure that you install the driver or the
17:24
software and then that then similar to
17:28
printers wait until you install the
17:31
software first and then then hook up the
17:34
webcam or read the QuickStart guide
17:36
read the instructions if you do
17:40
everything correctly you can open up
17:43
like on a Macintosh FaceTime is free you
17:45
can use that to test it and it should
17:47
work all right so that's my video about
17:50
the logitech c920 webcam macintosh
18:00
compatibility adios and good luck
18:10
you
