Audio and Camera not working Macbook air

I got my macbook air as a present from a relative and it seemed to work nicely even though I think it was used before. I took pics and watched videos on it before, but all of a sudden the sound would not work so I would restart my laptop and then it would work again but now even restarting it wont work the option to use the built in speakers is not there anymore. I wanted to facetime my friend and it says no that there is no connected camera. I do not know what to do.  I really want to get back to watching stuff and taking pics please help me !!!!

Hello fridamente123,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iSight camera and internal speakers are not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • DV9910US Audio and webcam not working.

    Hello, I have worked for over a month on trying to restore a HP DV9910us. I even ordered the recovery CD from HP.  I can not get the audio working or the webcam working. I have done extensive research online and tried every solution I found. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Hello robc1042.  I understand you're having some issues getting your audio and webcam to work.
    You said that you've tried numerous solutions.  Would you mind giving a quick list of the sorts of solutions you have tried?  This will be helpful as I wouldn't want to suggest solutions you've already attempted.  
    You may even want to take a look at this thread.  I posted this a little while back but it covers the solutions for a webcam not being detected.  You may find it helpful.  
    To begin I would like to see if either the webcam or sound card is listed in Device Manager.  Try the following.
    Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
    Expand the "Imaging Devices," "Sound, video, and game controllers," and "Other Devices" sections.
    List what you see.
    I will await your reply.  I hope you have a great day!

  • I bought my iphone5 from vodafone and camera not working. If i bring it in to apple store will they fix it for me? phone is only a week old.

    I recently had an iphone from vodafone and the camera was not working when i recieved it. Will apple still fix it even though it was taken out from vodafone will the apple store still fix it for me?
    Thanks
    Sion

    Yes they certainly will
    Always use an Apple Store for service .If the iphone is defective they will exchange it on the spot
    It is an Apple warranty and their customer service is excellent but make an appointment it will avoid a wait 
    Back up any info  as if faulty you will not see your unit again

  • IChat Audio and Video not working correctly...

    Hi.
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before upgrading, I was able to video chat with little to no problem with family over iChat. I just tried it again today for the first time since upgrading to Snow Leopard and the audio is barely working (can only make out every few words, if that), and the video is extremely distorted to where you can sometimes not even tell there are people there. It gets all pixelated and weird. I tried doing the chat with Google Talk and then again with Skype, and had just as many problems with those. My family is using a Mac with an older OS, and they can see and hear me perfectly fine. I'm not sure if the problem is with my computer or with theirs, or if it's just a communication problem, but any ideas would be really helpful. Thanks!

    After iChat developed missing audio and video pixellation problem post Snow Leopard installation at my mother-in-law's machine (and ours), I tried the usual decrease the bandwidth fix to no avail.
    The solution that actually fixed the probem was to turn off port forwarding protocol on her Time Capsule and our Airport Extreme. Things are now working smoothly even at 500 kbps settings on both ends.
    An interesting aside... Turning off port forwarding for ssh to her machine doesn't kill the ssh port tunnel from the outside LAN to her mac. It looks like iChat and the Time Capsule keep an incoming ssh tunnel open even if you have disabled port forwarding on the Time Capsule. I suspect this "secret" opening of ports is the magic of why iChat and screen sharing have been so much easier to set up when a Mac is behind an Apple router. 3rd party routers need ports manually forwarded to the Mac. Apple routers just worked ---- and it looks like Apple does it by invisibly opening ports on their routers when a Mac runs iChat.
    Pretty nifty, but also silently opens a security hole that you may THINK you closed. SL seems to trip up over this arrangement when you also turn on Port Mapping Protocol and manually assign ports to forward.
    At any rate, it wasn't the data rate, it was a new bad interaction between the Apple Router's Port Mapping Protocol and iChat 5. Turn off PMP on the airport and all becomes well once more.

  • Camera not working- Macbook retina

    Hello,
    I just got a new Refurbished Macbook Pro i5 with Retina.
    After 2 days, the camera stopped working. I brought it to the Apple store, but before I had a chance to show them the issue, the camera started working again and apparently there was no sign of the error in the log. A day after, I tried to open facetime and photo booth again and I get those error messages in the log:
    Jul 17 21:27:51 FaceTime[1330]: 21:27:51.196916 com.apple.AVConference: AVConferencePreviewServer setCaptureCamera got cameraID 0

    Jul 17 21:27:53 Photo Booth[1335]: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces.
    If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Yes, but they may also see it broken, even it they need to keep it for a period of time for testing.
    Take your MBP back to the Store with the info you posted above.  With that info, they can determine whether your new Mac needs service or replacement while it is still in warranty.
    Errors (and proper functions) that occur "randomly" are indications of intermittent faults that Apple Service Technicians can find and correct more efficiently than anyone else on earth.

  • Touch pad. Bluetooth and camera not working

PLZ i want fix it hurry as i have a lot of work
    then i back to win 7 64bit and make all ubdates and install all drivers and all still not working 

    Hi @abdallah2020
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having trouble with the drivers for your notebook. Where did you find them online?
    The supported and HP customized drivers for your notebook are only available for windows 7. Please see the following:
    HP Pavilion dv6-6176ex Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    For any drivers you find elsewhere for windows 8, there is no guarantee that it would work. Although it is certainly possible. Most notebook manufacturers do customize the drivers for the set of hardware in a unit. You can check out the following for suggestions and the reasons some drivers are not made.
    What if I Don't See My Operating System?
    If you wish to try the windows 7 installation, then the drivers are at the page I included.

  • Dv7-6059eo, microphone and camera not working, have re-installed the system, updated drivers etc.

    Hello. A couple of days ago, my microphone and camera suddenly stopped working. When I started up my camera in Skype, it said "Please open YouCam" or something like that, and when I did, it told me to update it. So I did. Then it told me that I had to uninstall the current version of YouCam. When I did and tried to install the update, it said something like "no video device detected".
    After updating drivers and un-/installing things, I recovered my whole computer to fabric options. Still not working. So I suspect that it might have something to do with the hardware. Although I don't know what should have caused it, as it just happened randomly in the middle of the day.

    Try the User Tip suggestions first.  Your system does need a plist, but a properly working OS X automatically generates any needed plist files when you launch the associated app (if its plist does not already exist.)

  • N900 Media Player and Camera not working

    Hello,
    I am having some problems with my phone which I think might be related to gstreamer.
    When I open the camera cover and the camera tries to launch I get the error message "Operation failed". Media player also does not work, I can see the media files but when I try playing them nothing happens.
    I used gstreamer to capture images for an application that I created and it has always worked fine until recently, when I started noticing the problems with the camera and media player.
    Between the time everything was working and now, this is what I have done:
    -installed OpenGL ES 2
    -installed Qt
    -copied a bunch of screenshots from the phone to my Mac (i think I just did it through bluetooth but I might have used the usb cable)
    Here is what I have done to try to fix the problem:
    -connect the phone via usb to a windows computer, rightclick the n900 icon and error check (as recommended on this forum)
    -update the firmware using app manager
    -reboot
    -type dmesg in the terminal after opening the lens cover - that did not output any errors
    Could this be related to anything other than the gstreamer? If it is the gstreamer, should I try reinstalling it?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Best,
    Eyrun

    Thanks. The reason why I haven't done that yet is that the gstreamer libraries came with the phone as I got it and I am not sure what needs to be installed. It seems like there are many plugins and something called totem-gstreamer that I might need additionally. Do you know of any good references for how this should be done for N900? I haven't been able to find one. Also, I do think it is a little bit strange that all of a sudden gstreamer would stop working, that's why I wonder if it could be something else?
    Best,

  • Synching audio and video not working

    I recorded a separate audio and video clip of an interview, and I marked the start of the clip with a clapperboard and spoke the take number and contents to make life easier, as I usually do. The gear is borrowed from the college, and for some reason the audio that came out of the Canon 5Dmkiii was really low. This could be the reason why, when I put both the video and audio into their own bin and right click and merge clips, (with the syncronisation point as audio, and under audio tab checking the box to remove audio from AV clip) that the clip doesn't seem to recognise the snap of the clapperboard or something maybe? Is there any way I can correct this, or do I need to synch it manually? If so, is there any quick and easy tutorial on youtube or something that is recommended?  

    I discovered that if I put markers manually on the point where the clapperboard snaps, and select marker instead of audio as the synchronisation point, then it synchs up the clips properly.

  • Bluetooth not working (macbook air 2014 with mavericks)

    This a for a 2014 MacBook Air with Mavericks: There are many bluetooth devices around which pair nicely with all other devices including older macbooks, but with the new laptop nothing shows up in the bluetooth menu?  How do I fix this? 
    Seems like it's a hardware or firmware problem or something? Help.  Anyone?

    Hello wily2000,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Bluetooth on your MacBook Air.  I recommend reviewing the section titled “Top troubleshooting tips” in the following article for the issue you described, but step 9 seems specifically useful for the issue you described:
    Restart your computer
    Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.

  • Wifi, Bluetooh and iSight not working MacBook Pro

    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. 8Gb Ram  Mavericks OS. I powered down one evening, everything normal.  Next day I rebooted it to find that I had lost Wifi, Bluetooth and isight.  Oh, and the fan runs at high speed constantly.
    Ptheise computer is running OK and I can connect to network via ethernet.
    Messages are:
    1. Wifi - no hardware installed
    2. Bluetooth - not available
    3. iSight - there is no connected camera.
    I have rebooted in safe mode, reset NVRAM and SMC, left it off for 30 hours. Tried an AHT. None worked.
    Have checked system information.  Responses are:
    1. WiFi

      CoreWLAN:          4.3.2 (432.47)
      CoreWLANKit:          3.3.2 (332.36)

    No video capture devices were found
    I'm presently redownloading Mavericks to do either a reinstall, or clean install, but before I do this can anyone suggest a solution?  Computer back up is up to date.
    NB: I live in Botswana where there are no Genius bars, nearest reliable service is in South Africa and downloads are VERY slow.
    Thanks in advance

    Restarting Mac may fix it.  Otherwise: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Iphone 6 App Audio and Ringer not working...

    I'm completely stumped.... for some odd reason the audio in my phone stopped working for the mentioned applications, also the keyboard makes no noise while texting. However, it works just fine in youtube, music, and netflix for example. The ringer music works in settings while selecting it, but not when someone calls. I've checked all the settings (volume and ringer in max), restarted the phone, and tried different game applications, and still nothing.... Please help! I don't wish to go to warranty unless I know for sure its a hardware defect.... and I can't afford to continue missing calls.... my service provider is Sprint and I have the most recent version of iOS 8 in case that helps.
    Your help is appreciated, thank you!
    PS. A little out of topic, but ever since I owned the phone since October Siri doesn't recognize music playing (What song is this?), she always says "No music is playing" no matter how hard I've tried.

    IOS 8.1 comes out tomorrow if upgrading to that doesn't work you can try downgrading back to IOS 8.0
