Internal camera failure after software updates...first skype couldn't......

Hello!
I am having internal camera failure after software updates...first skype couldn't find the camera, and now photo booth also says camera is not connected. Its a brand new MacBook Pro which has been working fine for a month, but after a software update (the blinking message said i had 13 new things to update...you know what I'm talking about right?) all of a sudden Skype couldnt find a camera, so i went to the skype community and tried some things (like trashing skype) but now photo booth says no camera detected, which is weird cause the camera is built into the computer..
Please help!
Thanks

First, reset the SMC:

If that doesn't help, then take it to an Apple Store for examination.

  • Computer startup failure after software update

    After downloading the recent OSX software update last week, I shut down for the day. Upon restarting the next day, the computer won't start up. It gets to the point of the grey screen with apple logo (though no progress indicator). It also won't start in safe mode either. Anybody had similar issues or has any wise ideas about fixing? Thanks.

    "After downloading the recent OSX software update last week..."
    I take it you are referring to the Tiger v.6 update?
    The first time that you restart after installing the update, the computer does not actually fully restart but instead stays on the grey screen for ages while indexing and optimisation are carried out (without a progress bar).
    Once that sequence is complete, the computer then automatically re-boots.
    Can you confirm that your computer has completed the above sequence, i.e. download update, restart to finish installation, grey screen for a long time, and then auto restart before OSX loads?
    If it has completed the double-boot sequence following installation of Tiger v.6 then there may be other problems.

  • Complete Startup Failure after software update (?)

    Hello,
    I just updated my computer - G4 Silver Desktop - with the latest offering from Apple, which I think included updates for OS X, iTunes, & Quicktime.
    However, immediately after this update, the computer will now no longer get past the initial 'Grey/Apple' screen. It begins and spins for a while, and then just shuts down completely.
    I am searching for my Startup Disk in my stacks of stuff right now, but I am wondering if anyone can provide other suggestions to help.
    thank you!
    John

    Try starting in "Safe Mode" (hold shift at startup)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
    If your computer starts up, repair permissions, verify disk (both in Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility)
    If you are able to get to apple.com, download the "Combo" update and avoid the "Software Update..." (use that to see what is needed and get them from the apple.com site) re-apply the update and restart.
    I'd start there. Post any results.
    Good Luck

  • N97 mini LCD n Camera problem after software updat...

    I recently updated my n 97 mini to latest updated 30.00.004 after updated lcd is split into half and the other half shows inerted display. 

    Hi Guys,
    It may be that something has gone wrong with the software update. Please try to reinstall the firmware using Nokia Suite, by selecting Tools > Software Update.
    It's not possible to revert to a previous software version yourself, so if the problem persists, please take your phone to your local Nokia Care Point and let them have a look.  They should be able to re-flash your phone and re-install the firmware.
    Hope this helps,

  • Failure after software update

    Have just downloaded latest updates to itunes and and OS X security update 2011-006 and my macbook pro crashed and died.  Had to restore from back up as repair disk did not work.  Four hours!!!!! Luckily I had taken recent back ups but this is downright stupid of apple not to QC their updates.  A very irritate apple user.

    Hmm, I'm about to think this could be a faulty battery. Do you have any spare battery to try?
    Anyway, I don't know what a Nokia care point would do, as I don't actually know what's wrong with your device. There could also be a hardware fault in your device which accidentally appeard at the same time you did the upgrade.
    Click the "contact us" link at the top of this page to get contact information and find your nearest care point.
    You cannot roll back to older fw.

  • I bought Finalcut X from the App store store when it first came out but software update doesn't see it and let me download the newer versions! How do I fix this?

    thanks

    Just delete it from the Applications folder, and re-download it.
    If it still says installed when you go to Purchased in App Store, click somewhere else, and option-click Purchased. That allows you to redownload already installed software.

  • Mac OS X 10.6.8: Software update, now skype and chrome don't work, and it seems like the programs didn't install at all even though the computer restarted. Help?

    I just did the automatic restart after software update. When everything came back up, Skype would start but immediately freeze at log in. Chrome would also start, but kill Gmail and facebook pages immediately. Firefox and other applications work. i checked software update again, and it seems to want to me to reinstall all of the things I just updated. I've done it twice but get the same thing every time.

    They should be. They both worked until just now. Also I checked again and realized that everything in the software update had indeed been downloaded. So now its just a chrome/skype problem.

  • Cant watch rented movies on apple tv after software update

    I recentlly bought apple tv and have not had a problem using it but this afternoon I went to rent a movie as per usual but had to instal a software update first, now i can't watch / rent / download movies.It asks me to confirm my credit card pin number then it just returns to the previous screen. I have tried verifying the credit card, resetting apple tv, turning on and off the modem, restarting apple tv, de registering other devices and it still doesnt work. Anyone know if there is a solution?

    I have exactly the same behavior.
    One small wrinkle, after re-entering CC details I couldn't even watch purchased TV shows. Then I reset the ATV and after it will allow me to watch TV shows we have bought but I still cannot purchase anything. There is no error message of any kind, it just goes back to the previous screen.
    BTW apple, we use my wife's login for ATV

  • Problem restarting after software update

    Computer is fine, drive 40% full, no speed problems...
    But it just won't restart after software update runs, nor will it restart or shut down from finder.
    Problem solving so far: Safe boot, reset pram, ran disk utility, ran disk repair using install disk, ran fsck -y, ran disk warrior.
    Is annoying. ANy ideas anyone? If not, what is the procedure for updating using sudate and terminal, as when I use software update, a force shut down will not install.
    ANy ideas folks?

    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

    Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
