ISight stopped working on Mavericks 10.9.2 update - CPU overloading

Last Feb 25, 2014, I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X v10.9.2. Since then, my iSight Camera stopped working and my CPU is overloading.
Observing in Activity Monitor: A ReportCrash process takes 100% of CPU usage.
Originally, I've updated with Combo package.
Everything worked perfectly in 10.9.1.
I tried reinstalling 10.9.2 package, tried using both Delta and Combo packages;
I tried Repair File Permissions;
I tried Disk Repair;
...and Nothing!
Because of that ReportCrash issue, I'm unable to update my Time Machine backup and reinstall the OS, once Time Machine application doesn´t start its process, don't know why!
2007 MacBook Pro 15" (MacBookPro3,1) - Model A1226
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
500GB Hard Drive
OS X Mavericks
PLEASE HELP. There's no way to use my Mac in this situation.

Hi, UnderEu,
I think to uninstall "AirParrot", "DiskplayLink" or simmialr Apps in Mavericaks, not only you have to move the Apps to Trash Bin, But also you need to uninstall their Audio & Video drivers & Settings. (which is the reason case the Crash of the system)
For the case of AirParrot, you need to do following command in Terminial Line to clear out the driver and setting:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext

    Any body have this kind of problem.  What was done to correct it. . .

    I can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

  • Built-in iSight stops working on iMac--try re-setting SMU

    I spent about two hours trying to figure out why my built-in iSight stopped working--all of a sudden it would show only a green screen in Photo Booth, black in iChat and not at all in iVideoHD, and not really register as available. It did show up in the Apple profiler of USB devices, and also, it would work in a non-apple program, iVisit. I did not install an HP printer, as another thread user commented on. I read about resetting the SMU in an Apple discussion and also in this forum, so I shut down the computer, pulled the power and everything else plugged into the computer and waited a minute, then plugged the computer back in and turned it on, then finally plugged back in my devices including keyboard and mouse (that was Apple's instructions). Vioala! iSight works again.

    Hi,
    For Others
    As a Note on this some G5s are prone to not having the System Preferences > Displays set to Millions.
    There is no direct evidence that it effects other computers but do check if your is still set to Millions and is not being commanded by a games app or something else to display less Colours.

  • Isight Stopped Working After Installing Quicktime Software Update

    This afternoon when I logged into my Macbook, it automatically detected new software update for Quicktime. As always, I let the computer download and install the software. However, this time it created a lot of problems for me. First, I couldn't connect to my network (I use Airport Express) although the signal was strong. After reset modem, router and Airport, finally I could get on network. However, then I found out my Isight stopped working. The light on the right side of the built-in camera was always on (green). My Photo Booth screen appears green all the time. I no longer can use Skype video chat. Does anyone encounter the same problem? Can anyone help me out? I use Macbook, the operating system is OX 10.4.3. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

  • Internet stopped working on MBA after latest firmware update. Help please!!!

    Internet stopped working after installing the latest firmware update. WiFi still connects to router, our other mac desktop still connects to internet as usual (same network). I can't even re-install the MBA OS since it needs an internet connection!!!
    Any ideas?

    FIXED.
    I swapped our wireless router for a newer one, internet seems to work fine again (we were sent a new one by our internet provider which we never set up until now).

  • My iMessage stopped working when I did the latest update on my phone. I have literally tried everything to reset it. I am currently not in the US, but my iMessage has always worked when I was in wifi and my phone is still activated.

    My iMessage stopped working when I did the latest update on my phone. I have literally tried everything to reset it. I am currently not in the US, but my iMessage has always worked when I was in wifi and my phone is still activated. I have tried to reset my network settings, my location, and even the reset all settings. When I click on my settings and iMessage it says that it is still waiting for activation... and my phone number is grayed out. I am able to recieve an iMessage to my email and that could work for right now but i'm not sure how to start a conversation the defaults to being sent from my email and not my cell phone number. please help!

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.
    You locate the nearest Apple Store here: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/

  • Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.

    Don't know what to do or who to ask??? GPS stopped working after 4.4.2 Kitkat update.
    I have been on the phone multiple times with Verizon, visited multiple stores and still getting different answers with every different person I talk to...
    Since the 4.4.2 update, my phone and my wife's phone (14 or 15 month old SIII's) that worked perfect a couple weeks ago no longer know where they are 95% percent of the time... Location cannot be found and GPS satellites cannot be seen (sometimes after searching for 10 - 20 minutes they will lock on).
    And it's not just Google maps, it is all apps that need location (ie. gps status and toolbox, weather channel, etc...)
    Google maps has us in the right location 50% of the time  but i think that has more to do with 4g and wifi (although i always know the weather and traffic conditions in the next town over now).
    Navigation will set up fine in Google maps until you actual move the car. Then it updates location every couple minutes, but usually a couple streets over from where I actually am. Maybe 1 out of every four or five times I try it, it will start working about 15 minutes after I started it (then work flawlessly, so it can actually work sometimes). But if you end the process and start over to see if it really "works", back to square one with it not knowing its location all over again...
    I obviously did all the normal trouble shooting fixes with the battery and sim card removals and even did a "recommended factory data reset" on my phone with no luck. After this didn't work I stopped by another verizon store yesterday that has "tech services" that I was told could run some sort of diagnostics on my phone. After I showed the tech all the screen shots i have taken of what was happening while driving, he said it is a software problem and a very common one at that.
    I was told I should either buy new phones or switch to the edge program where i can get a new phones. These don't seem like very fair solutions to me considering before the 4.4.2 update our phones worked perfect and they are both in almost perfect condition after 14 or 15 months...
    Will there be a fix to this??? Is it a Samsung problem??? Should I be contacting them???

    If it is 3GS, you can update it to iOS 5 and it will work.

  • Why did AME stop working after the last Windows 7 update

    AME suddenly stopped working after the last Windows 7 update. After the initial splash screen, I get a message saying that AME is not working and the program will be closed. Then I get the windows message that it is searching for a solution, then nothing. I am using the Production CS6. This happens whether I try to start AME directly, or queuing through Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the entire package and have implemented all available updates from Adobe. I have no clue why this happened, but AME is crucial to my workflow.

    Try to delete the following folders and then launch AME:
    %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder
    %AppData%\Adobe\Common
    Make sure to first make a backup of those folders.

  • Samba stopped working again after most recent security update

    This is not the first time that Samba has stopped working for me after applying an update to Mac OS X.
    I installed an update that 'Software Update' offered to me a day or two ago, and it has caused Samba to stop working again. I can't access the disks on my Powermac from any of my PCs (WinXP and Vista) again.
    I tried turning the firewall off. I tried turning SMB file sharing off and turning it back on. I tried disabling and enabling each of the users for SMB access. Still doesn't work.
    Under 'Sharing', I have 'File Sharing' enabled. Under its 'Options', I have 'Share files and folders using AFP' and 'Share files and folders using SMB' both enabled. I have my account enabled under 'Share files and folders using SMB'. I also tried disabling it and enabling it. Under Network setup, I have location 'Home' selected, because of previous problems with Samba not working if 'Automatic' was selected.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi, I think I need to update my profile because my computer definitely says it has 10.4.11

  • DVD drive stopped working after Mavericks install

    I have a Macbook Pro (late 08 model) that was running Snow Leopard. I recently did a clean install of Mavericks and since then the DVD drive just spins and ejects discs without being able to read them (doesn't seem to matter what I use. Software, games, audio cds, etc..). It was working fine before installing Mavericks and I can still boot from the DVD drive (old snow leopard boot disc) but it won't read any discs once booted into the OS even though the OS is detecting the drive just not the disc when inserted.
    I've tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and resetting the SMC as suggested on other forums but like many others with the same issue it didn't help. I also cycled through several drutil commands as suggested to "wake up" the drive but that didn't help any either.
    I'm kind of stumped here guys. I could roll back to Snow Leopard but I've got some software thats dropping support so I'd rather be running Mavericks if I can sort out this DVD drive issue. Clearly its not the drive itself since it worked fine before and I can boot from it. Any ideas?

    Hrm looks like I might of fixed it. I went back after seeing another post about spamming drutil commands to "wake up" the drive and just spammed them about 20 or so times and the drive started working again.
    I'm still very confused as to why it just stopped working within the OS after installing Mavericks (yet I was still able to boot from the DVD just fine). Clearly something is bugged in mavericks. I even came across a post on the apple forums from someone with this issue and it was effecting both his late 08 and early 2013 Macbook Pros.
    I'll keep an eye on my own machine to see if it stops working again but for now it seems my drive is "fixed" go figure.

  • Port mapping stopped working using Mavericks

    Hi,
    on Snow Leopard, I had iVPN using port mapping up-and-running.
    Basically using this explanation (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3415).
    On Mavericks it stopped working.
    I'm running AE 7.7.2, and Mavericks 10.9.1.
    Tools I tried are iVPN together with a DynDNS setup (also the Personal Website).
    I don't get non of these working anymore...
    Any ideas?
    Regards.

    OK solved, or at least the problem was not with the modem or router.
    Oddly, enough the app I was using to test the port forwarding did not recognize that the ports were open. Nor did the internet via canyouseeme.org. However, when I tried a previous version of the same app, it worked fine.
    I am still using 7.6.1, but I will upgrade the firmware and see if things are still ok.
    Sorry to clog up the boards with what turned out to be a non-issue. I'd erase this post if I knew how.

    One of the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 is
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    What service did the service people tell you was still needed to get your iMac working correctly and why did you not do that?

  • Drag and drop stops working in maverick

    Hello,
    running Maverick and running into this issue twice already.
    I can't drag files in finder. I can select them, I can multiple select them by dragging, but clicking on them and draging them does not work at all until I reboot.
    Anyone know of this issue?

    Hello!
    I just wanted you to know that I'm having the same problem. I just bought a Macbook Pro (maverick os) last week and today the drag and drop function stopped working. VERY frustrating since I use that function no less than 50 times a day. This is my first mac, so I was worried the solution was obvious and I just wasn't seeing it; then I found this thread. Glad to know I'm not crazy!
    The restart solution does work, but I hate the idea of constantly restarting the computer. I will let you know if I find another solution.
    Missing my pc a little now...
