My camera isnt working

I have a macbook pro. My camera usually works, but recently it doesnt. When i pull up photobooth its just black where the picture should be. When i video chat someone it takes a good half an hour for my camera to start working. how can i fix this??

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Got the ipod today but camera isnt working

    got the brandnew white iPod touch today but the camera isnt working very well and i try to take a pic and it freezes...

    Try rebooting. Hold down the power button until a red button with an arrow appears at the top of the screen then slide the button to the right. After the touch shuts down, press the power button to restart it.
    You'd be surpised what rebooting will fix, especially when it's the 1st version of a major OS upgrade. With one version of iOS I would plug my touch in to my computer and iTunes would tell me it was corrupt and needed to be restored. Rebooting the touch would fix the problem.
    If you're still having a problem after rebooting you could try restoring it.
    If that doesn't fix the problem return it.

  • Camera isnt working properly in low light or during nights?

    Hi,
    How to take the clarity pictures during nights or in low light. Facing this issue from a long time.

    I have a brand new MAC BOOK PRO 17 inch as well and my camera just started doing the same exact thing.  Can't figure out what it is.  I've tried restarting, resetting SMU etc. nothing has worked.
    My system profiler also shows FACETIME HD CAMERA (BUILT-IN).
    I'm wandering if this might be an issue/bug due to a recent software update that has not been resolved.
    Anyway I"m taking it into apple tomorrow to see what they have to say.

  • What to do when your iphone camera isnt working?

    My phone camera screen never works, I turn on the app and its a black screen and then it just eventually freezes. Sometimes the front camera works but never the back and its random because it was working this morning but it wont work now. other apps like snapchat that involve the camera also aren't working and I don't know how to solve this problem...

    Try resetting your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep button for 10 seconds or so until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work restore your phone to new but not from a backup. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    If that does't solve the problem then it's likely a hardware issue. Make an appointment at an Apple store and have it examined.

    Hi,
    Can you reset factory settings?

    Sounds like your battery is not taking a charge, I know it shows full with you plug it in.  Try plugging it into a wall socket for a few hours and see if the iPod will work on battery power.
