    [SOLVED] Skype

    I'm trying to run skype on my first-gen intel iMac, but I can only recieve video and sound. When I chat, I can see my friends, but I don't know at all how to register the built-in camera/mic. I just started using Ubuntu, I don't know too much about computers in general, and I'm getting tired of typing responses while my friends talk away.

    any help would be greatly appreciated

    If it is Intel, it is at least a 4th gen iMac...

    Thanks for the help, hopefully this guide should solve my problems
    Oh, and sorry about the misunderstanding, I guess I meant fourth gen mac (in my head I was thinking the first generation of intel macs)

    But it IS a 1st generation Intel iMac - that's what I got from Epamek's post.
