I am looking for a webcam that will plugin and work on my new MacBook Pro running Yosemite?

Just got my new MacBook pro and wanted to plug in my external Logitec Pro 4000 webcam...but it does not appear on any options to use.

So I guess its time to upgrade it... but I can't find ANYWHERE what webcams will plug and play on the MacBook Pro (3/2015 model) running the latest version of Yosemite (10.10.2)

I would LOVE to not have to buy a new camera...but i can't seem to find any other solution. So ideas?

Gary

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Webcam

Hi Gary,

Your retina macbook pro is preinstalled with a 720p resolution high quality webcam which you can use while Skype, FaceTime calls.....

The reason you don’t have the option to attach any external webcam is because you don’t need one...... As simple as that....

It should plug into one of your USB ports.

If you want a newer external camera, some compatible ones are listed in http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

EZ Jim.... He doesn’t need a external webcam and for your kind information he wants to connect it to a Retina Macbook pro and not a iMac or any thunderbolt display. That just seems ridiculous.

Also, if you read Gary’s post carefully

“I would LOVE to not have to buy a new camera...but i can't seem to find any other solution. "

Your solution is OK but just seems irrelevant at this context.
