Camera not working in Apple apps on ML 10.8.1

PhotoBooth, FaceTime and QuickTime both say that there is no camera attached when I open them on my MBP mid 2010
Skype works just fine...
Please sort this out Apple.

Hi, I tried to click on the site identity icon, but there only appeared a reference to Google Talk plugin (Block or continue allowing). Then I manually checked permissions, and changed Camera from "default" to "always allow" on Gmail and Google Talk. No changes at all. After all I have done, I still think it's not a problem of permissions, but a problem of this specific driver not being recognized in Flash / Firefox. I tried with like 10 different versions of Firefox (40, 39, 38, 37 ...) and several Flash versions too. Reinstalled the camera a few times, the Intel HD graphics drivers, removed camera, used default drivers, then used the ones from Lenovo ... When I click in the plugin message nothing happens, I can see from the source code that it's a Flash message.

ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

Thanks for the "helpful" star, V4N0!
(1) Your initial post shows you using Mac OS X (10.6.6),
but your latest post shows Mac OS X (10.6.5).
Have you "downdated" to 10.6.5?
(2) iSight works with iMovie, Photo Booth, QuickTime, and other apps like Address Book,
etc. You need not try every possible app, but please tell us which you have tested,
and which, if any, work with your iSight.
(3) Have you tested iSight operation in more than one user account?
Are the symptoms EXACTLY the same in any user account you test?
(4) If your only problem is with ALL apps in ALL user accounts, try applying the
Combo Update using the method suggested in this recent post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12859723&#12859723
If you want the latest Mac OS instead of 10.6.5, download the 10.6.6 Combo Update:

instead of the 10.6.5 Combo (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324) link in the post.

Camera not working, no apple store in Lima

Dear all
Thank you in advance for your help and pleas, hope you all can excuse my english...
So here is my problem:
1) Two weeks ago I bought an brand new iphone 4 in the US. The iphone was brought to Lima, Perú where i currently live.
2) The camera is not working and searching the web has made prety clear that is because of a hardware issue
3) There is no apple store in Lima and when i ask apple what to do they give me the contact number of the two telephone companies that work here (but they didn´t sell the phone to me so wont take care of solving the problem).
4) Can´t contact apple care number from Lima
Any ideas?
Best regards
Javier G.R.

Found this. Looks like an Apple Authorized Reseller.

You might just try doing a search for iPhone resellers or repair services in your area.

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

Iphone 5 main camera not working on iphone 5. Many folks comment on apple replacing phone. Mine is older than 12 months. Will they still replace phone?

No. You can get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone. A an out if warranty replacement will be cheaper than buying a new one.

HT4623 my apple i pad is currently not working and no apps are opening pls clarify it

my apple i pad is currently not working and no apps are opening pls clarify it

Are there any error messages?
Knowing what you see or are experiencing can help diagnose it.
In the meantime, a common fix, hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can force it to rebood. If you see a silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

New MacBook Air I5 camera not working because of flash?

I bought a new macbook air I5 13" last night at best buy. This is not my first macbook. However, I can't get the built in camera isight / facetime to work with web based sites. I've logged in and out of different profiles. Installed/Uninstalled flash several times. Already reset the macbook. Done everything that I can find online about fixing this issue and not having any luck. I've spent most of the day reading and browsing this issue. Any help would be greatly appreicatied.

If your webcam doesn't work with Apple apps either, take MBA back to best buy and ask them whether it can be exchanged or repaired. Do this ASAP.
If your ONLY problem is with flash based web sites, see if any of the suggestions here help you: http://discussions.apple.com/message/17214189#17214189

Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update

Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update
PLease help

Hi Hellside,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps.

External iSight Camera not working after update installed?

a couple of weeks ago I turned on iChat and up popped a window that said i needed to update the (external) iSight camera i had plugged into my minimac (firewire). followed the instructions and did just that. little greenlight glowed happily, rotated lens and opened iChat--little green light blinked off and then iChat showed that the camera was not turned on. tried turning it on and off by rotating the lens, unplugging firewire and also restarted computer...no change. looked for update to firmware and downloaded 1.0.3, only to be told it does not work with OS 10.4 (bummer).
had a back up camera, plugged that in and no problems...trouble is roomate recently got the pop-up screen when he was using it and, thinking he was doing me a favor, 'updated'...so now have 2 cameras that do not work and no answers to be found on the posts or the apple support site.
any ideas?

Welcome to Discussions, johnboysf
(1) Assuming you are not ANY having other problems with your Macs and that your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date, you can concentrate on the iSight part of your system(s).
Restart your Mac with no unnecessary peripherals connected and try the suggestions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
(2) If your iSight still does not work with any app, check for Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight.
(3) I cannot tell whether your mini is an iNtel or PPC. Apply the appropriate Combo Updater as follows if you still have the problem:
• Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
• Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
• For PPC, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC).
• For iNtel, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update v1.1 (Intel).
• Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
(4) If your problem persists after trying all of the above, the problem may be with your iSight itself. The fact that you got that notification after you had previously been using your iSight successfully under OS 10.4.x, and the fact that the updater ran for you and your roommate under OS 10.4.x, makes me think there may be something wrong with your iSights. The Tiger (10.4.x) OS includes all the necessary earlier update (including iSight Firmware 1.0.3) and installs the Firmware update if necessary at the time you installed Tiger or first connected your iSight. Therefore, the Firmware update should be unnecessary and should not have been identified by Software Update... as being needed (unless someone has improperly thrown away some OS X files.)
As you note, iSight Firmware 1.0.3 will not run except on Mac OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9 (or, it now seems, if something is wrong.) If you have access to a Firewire-equipped Mac that is using one of these OSs, you can try applying the update to your iSights using that Mac.
(5) If you cannot find a Mac that is still using Panther, or if applying the update does not resolve your problem, contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional service. Ask your AASP if he wants to see your Macs, too, to check whether their software has been modified or damaged.
