HT1338 built in camera has stopped working, how can I update or reinstall the drivers

Built in camera has stopped working, how can I reinstall the respective drivers?

Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem, Stephen:
•  If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart,
    and try again.  If the camera still does not work, continue.
• Try ALL relevant suggestions from Apple's Troubleshooting
   article: 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 Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
   If you need to use the "reset" suggestion, use the correct reset for your Mac.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update.  For your Mac OS,
   the current version is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.
• If nothing else resolves your problem, yours is likely a hardware issue.
   Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

  • My built in camera has stopped working since Skype...

    Since recent Skype updates the camera has stopped working - but it works in other applications. I am running on Windows 7 - do I need to uninstall and load n older version - anyone else suffering these problems?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You didn't state what camera you are using. There have been some issues with Dell XPS models. If that is the case, the problem has not been resolved as of yet. You can try downgrading to an older release to see if the camera works once again.
    You have two options to try to resolve this:
    1. Try 3rd party software like manycam (manycam.com). See if your camera works in the manycam software. If it does, select the manycam virtual driver in Skype and see if your camera still operates with the latest release. If you go this route be sure to do a custom install to install only the main program.
    2. Your other option would be to revert/downgrade to a prior release or a version that exists to address video/camera compatibility issues like the Skype special version:
    Skype 6.3
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.3.0.105.msi
    Skype Special Version (6.1.999.130):
    http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-sse
    Depending on which versions work may determine if the compatibility issue was introduced in the newest versions or if you camera is not compatible with the new way video is rendered (Skype 6.2 and above).

  • My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

    my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

    Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
    If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
          If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    I have a program called commission killer that I have downloaded and I can't open it because it says compileBot has stopped working. It then tells me to either close the program or have Windows look for a solution and then it closes without any solution. I want to be able to use this program and yet I don't know what to do to correct this. I have deleted it closed the firewall and the security program AVG but that didn't work either when I redownloaded the program. Any suggestions>?

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4 and my toolbar didn't load, now Firefox won't start automatically saying a script has stopped working. how can I fix this?

    Before Firefox will load I have to stop a script message that appears saying that the script for this page is either busy or stopped working. Once I hit stop Firefox will load as normal but without doing this step it will not load at all. Once it is loaded the toolbar has not been loaded and I am told to reinstall the toolbar but I have not been able to do so.

  • AirPrint has stopped working - how can I get it to work?

    Yesterday morning my HP110a stopped working with airprint. iPad and iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3, having worked fine before, suddenly cannot find the printer on the network.
    Using Safari, I can access the printer's webpage from the iPad and iPhone, my MacBook Pro finds the printer with Bonjour, and prints to it no problem, ePrinting works fine - but AirPrint doggedly refuses to work - 'No Printers Found' being the constant message.
    I have been through all the troubleshooting points - checked network, checked all software / firmware is up to date, even updated iOS to 4.3.1 to no avail.
    The need to print from the iPad is urgent - as the MacBook pro isn't in the house much. It worked so well till yesterday. Help.

    Just to clarify, it only works when the phone is plugged in and charging. What happens when you try to activate it? Is there any error message?

  • I have error facing an error continuously on photoshop - Adobe Photoshop cc 2014 has stopped working.how can i resolve it?

    how can i resolve it?

    Maybe you could tell us what you already have tried and when this error shows up.
    Besides that message, do you get any other information about the crash in your screen?
    I guess you're on Windows, don't believe that Apple computers show this type of error message.
    Running as administrator, or other compatibility settings could solve your problem.
