FIX: 
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

  • Have just purchased Macbook Air is there an equivalent program to Excel

    Have just purchased Macbook Air , is there an equivalent program to excel available already on the Macbook or do I need to download a program.

    My two cents:
    Numbers 3.0, which is either preloaded onto the Air or a quick free download from the Mac App Store, is a very powerful application that opens many (probably most) Excel spreadsheets brilliantly. (My work involves using Excel daily both on a PC and the Mac and I was surprised by that.)
    For most things Numbers 3.0 is, in my opinion, a far more agreeable environment to work in than OpenOffice, which I've tried recently. (I haven't tried NeoOffice or LibreOffice). OpenOffice definitely has more features, though.
    Numbers 3.0 is not a print-oriented application, so if you need to print out lots of documents you may find it lacking. It's more oriented toward collaboration via iCloud sharing and to syncing to iOS devices than it is to printing. It's also good at charting. Numbers is now very powerful on the iPad, convenient for showing work to others in an interactive way, and doing work while you're on the go that syncs back automatically to the Mac. The syncing, a problem with the old version, now works very well.
    In the calculation department Numbers 3.0 lacks the equivalent of Excel's array functions and some advanced statistical functions. It also doesn't have the equivalent of VBA; no scripting. It doesn't have pivot tables, but there are good workarounds. It's got tons of functions, more than the old Numbers version, far more than most people actually use.
    If you need 100% compatibility with Excel in order to work with others who have complicated formatting or printing needs or are doing sophisticated statistical analysis or working on huge long spreadsheets, then the only application that qualifies for that is Excel. It's a real workhorse on the Mac, an excellent program.

  • I have a Mac os x 10.58. Please could someone illustrate exactly what settings I should have on my computer to make video calls with Skype?

    I have a mac OS X 10.58 Please could someone illustrate exactly what settings I should have on my computer to make video calls with Skype? Thanks.

    Then all you need is an external compatible webcam with your Mac Mini.  Skype is currently compatible with your Mac and operating system

  • Just bought macbook air 11, but can't even register it

    I bought macbook air 11 inch just today. On the welcome page, I chose my country. That click works bu 'continue' click doesn't work.So after wasting some time, I gave up. This is surely faulty, isn't it?

    I didn't even know that you could press hard to click. I brought it back to the shop and they told me that the I need to click the bottom of the left side. There seem to be 3 different part at the bottom that you can't see. And also there is a part in the middle that you can click. I found that on the manual. i should have read the manual first. I didn't check it in the first place. Anyway, thanks for your help.

  • Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

    I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

  • Can iphone 4 make video calls using skype over 3g?

    Hello,can i make video calls on iphone 4 using skype over 3g network?

    Yes, Skype can make video calls over 3G. You do NOT need to jailbreak your phone. I believe the previous poster thought you were asking about FaceTime which does not work over 3G.

  • I JUST BOUGHT MACBOOK AIR AND WAS GOING TO REGISTER IT BUT I DO NOT HAVE REGISTRATION NUMBER?

  • Just bought macbook air; had macbook macbook with Tiger software. What is best way to upload photos to icloud on old computer without upgrading it's software? thanks.

    just bought a macbook air upgrading from old macbook with Tiger software; what is best way to take photos from old backbook to icloud so I can see them or download on the new air; Have an external harddrive backup. photo library is too large to transfer directly.thanks.

    Memory size has nothing to do with it. I can open my 60GB iPhoto library with only 8GB RAM. Perhaps you have an incompatible version of iPhoto under Tiger with iPhoto under ML.
    As to downloading different photos from iCloud, you would do the same if you ...
    * open iPhoto under Tiger
    * dump the photos individually in to a folder on your external hard drive
    * shut down everything on the old MacBook
    * connect the external hard drive to new MacBook
    * open iPhoto on new MacBook
    * import the photos in the folder on the external hard drive directly in to the new iPhoto
    IOW, you need not use iCloud (even if you could, which you cannot) to swap photos as you propose.
    If you are at a loss for space on your external hard drive for whatever reason (perhaps that external hard drive is a full Time Machine partition), I recommend that you buy another external hard drive just for your photos.

  • I have recently bought macbook air, previously i was using macbook pro 13". I have a problem in accessing my external hard disk, on which i used to take backup through time machine on my earlier macbook pro. I am not able to access the hard disk.

    My new macbook air is not even detecting the external disk, leave alone reading it. I have important documents as time machine backup on the external disk. Please help in resolving this issue.
    Thanks

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • I just bought macbook air yesterday. Do I need to buy OS X Moutain Lion from App store?

    Please becase I saw from app store there hv a osx lion. Do i need to buy it to my new macbook air?

    If you bought a new MacBook Air, it probably has OS X Mountain Lion, but to check this, open  > About this Mac, and check the version. If it's 10.8, you are running Mountain Lion.
    The Mid 2013 MacBook Air uses a special OS X Mountain Lion version compatible with this MacBook, so you can't use the Mountain Lion version you can purchase at the Mac App Store. Instead, when you need to reinstall Mac OS X, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • Hello, I just bought macbook air - and now would like to give my granddaughter my old mac book. I've deleted all my documents, photos, but am unsure how to empty my iTunes music.  All my stuff is now on my new computer and I do not want to lose my music!

    Now that I bought my new MAc Book Air - if I empty my music from my old computer will I lose all my music on my new computer - ipod etc...
    My granddaughter is waiting in the wings to get my old in great shape mac book!  thanks

    if I empty my music from my old computer will I lose all my music on my new computer - ipod etc...
    No. Be sure you have transferred the entire contents of your old /Home/Music/ folder.
    Create a new user account on your old computer. Have your granddaughter tell you what she would like the username to be and what password she wants. Be sure to set the new account with Administrative authority. Then log into this new account and delete your old account.
