| Need help with new G-5 iMac & build-in camera Just set up the new G-5 iMac. Went through the Setup Wizard, the camera took my picture for the Account record. Then, when I opened iChat the screen said the camera is in use by another application. No other applications are open. Ideas would be appreciated......what am I missing? Terry  |

| Did you restart? Could be something left over from setup. Otherwise, run /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor, and post what is running. Just to clarify, is this the Intel or PowerPC iMac?

Any ideas? Terry |

| Some websites recommend unplugging the camera, waiting a minute, then plugging back in to resolve this error.

| You have free telephone support for half a year after purchase, you might want to use that, because they will probably have an answer if a ton of iMacs are dysfunctional out-of-the-box. Does Photo Booth work?
