I recently bought a Logitech c270 webcam with the understanding that it would work with my iMac. However the webcam does not seem to be recognised by my iMac.
When I connect the webcam it is not switching on, no green light on the webcam or anything to indicate any activity at all.
I read on the Logitech site that all the software needed was already in OS X. Am I missing something?
Any help most appreciated.
my logitech works fine but is dorment untill I start to use it as with skype or other programs which use the webcam
The Logitech HD Webcam C270 works fine with OS X, but you have to install the software before plug it into the USB port. There isn't a native OS X driver for this webcam.
The software (Logitech Webcam Software.mpkg) is in the CD that come in the product box but is not avaiable to download from the website. So if your Mac doesn't have a CD/DVD drive you'll have to use another Mac computer with a CD/DVD drive to copy it to a thumb drive or send it via network or internet to your Mac.
The Logitech software does not work with 10.9 Mavericks. It crashes every time.
I'm now testing the camera without Logitech software.
Okay, I tested the C270 simply plugged into the USB port. With eCamm iGlasses, the camera can be controlled flawlessly.

i've downloaded from the link that thekben posted, and the problem was not a problem anymore. thank you very much for posting, thekben, you rock.
Thanks for the link theKben. It really helped.🙂
Try another USB port. Not USB 3.0. Open e.g. Skype or FaceTime Application it will switch camera ON
Agree. I had to use this to get my C270 to work on OS X 10.11.6
Not working anymore. Don't use any software from Logitech for a C270. Get iGlasses and use it as a front end for your camera. Works perfect.
