New MacBook Air I5 camera not working because of flash?

I bought a new macbook air I5 13" last night at best buy.  This is not my first macbook.  However, I can't get the built in camera isight / facetime to work with web based sites.  I've logged in and out of different profiles.  Installed/Uninstalled flash several times.  Already reset the macbook.  Done everything that I can find online about fixing this issue and not having any luck.  I've spent most of the day reading and browsing this issue.  Any help would be greatly appreicatied. 

If your webcam doesn't work with Apple apps either, take MBA back to best buy and ask them whether it can be exchanged or repaired.  Do this ASAP. 
If your ONLY problem is with flash based web sites, see if any of the suggestions here help you: http://discussions.apple.com/message/17214189#17214189

  • Macbook Air to LCD not working?

    I just bought the new macbook air and i got an mini displayport to hdmi with it; however, when i plug it in, my lcd tv just stays black and sometimes shows visions of my air. When its black, it reads, "invalid format" at the bottom corner. I have tried to reduce the resolutions, but nothing seems to be working. Can anyone help?

    Greetings obomb2000,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your MacBook Air is not outputting video to your TVs using an HDMI adapter, and you've done a good job of isolating this behavior to either the adapter or laptop.
    Here are a few additional steps you can try on your MacBook Air before trying another adapter:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • Macbook Air HDMI adapter not working

    I know there are other threads about this but they are a bit outdated. So anyway I bought an hdmi adapter for my macbook air and it was working perfectly for about an hour and a half when suddenly the tv registered "no signal" yet the macbook was still saying it was connected to the tv. I thought it may have been a problem with the tv so I tried on another tv in the house, same result. So then i thought it may be the hdmi so i switched them, same result. So now the only problem could be the adapter or my laptop, does anyone know how I can fix my problem???

  • New MacBook Air, Dictation is not shown in system preferences

    Dictation is in Mountain Lion only. Upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • Whenever I FaceTime on my new MacBook Air, the microphone stops working after a little while, how can I fix this?

    I recently got a refurbished MacBook Air from Apple. Whenever I FaceTime, my microphone stops working, and the person on the other end can't hear me. I end up having to FaceTime them on my iPod Touch, which can be a bit frustrating. Are there any solustions to this?

    Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
    I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
    All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
    Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

  • Macbook Air internal keyboard not working with windows 7

    Hello,
    I have a macbook air 1.6ghz (1st gen) . I just installed windows 7 32bit on it and got the latest bootcamp. Everything else works perfect except the keyboard. Anyone have any drivers I could try ? I tried the external ones but I do not have an external keyboard so its not much use. Anyone have the internal driver for it ?
    *i have tried bootcamp 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2* The keyboard works perfectly on the mac side. I truly believe this is a driver issue because on the device manage under keyboards it has the driver listed as HID and under HID devices one of the keyboard drivers has a yellow exclamation mark.
    I have also tried extracting the driver from the Apple drivers folder and running it that way.
    Thanks,

    Did you install the Windows support software? Did you check in Windows sytem to see if the drivers are working? Check the Boot Camp help documnets http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ and visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

  • New Macbook Pro number keys not working

    Hi everyone,
    I have a brand new macbook pro (running 10.6.4) who's number keys suddenly stopped working. The keys from 1 through 9 do not respond at all. Neither does holding down shift, while pressing them. The key rows below and above them work fine. I have the newest updates on the machine, and have restarted multiple times.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    This same issue happens to me frequently. I've lived with it for the most part just because I didn't want to spend my time running down Apple's glitch. I can not tell if it is a hardware, firmware, or software issue. I have a case number which is 163792369 that I've had since June. I've never taken it in because it is not consistent. I'm leaning towards an OS glitch. I have searched Apple's archives and found one reference to it happening on an earlier version of OS-X, but I was afraid to install the patch because of version differences. Please let me know if you get a solution from the customer support. It is somewhat frustrating as this is my first experience with a Mac and I understand it's a complex piece of machinery from a hardware and software perspective, but fresh out of the box the freak'in keys should work.

  • MacBook Air (2012 release) not working with projectors

    I recently bought four MacBook Airs (all the new 2012 release) and I can not get any of them to work with an LCD projector. I have tried generic and authetic mini display adapters and have tried a few different projectors.  All I am able to see when I connect them in a black screen with lines running down. 
    Interestingly enough, if I connect the MBA to an LCD monitor, it works just fine.  Then, once I have connected it to an LCD monitor, I can then connect it to a projector.  Also, if I shut down the MBA, plug in the dongle, and restart the computer, I can use the projector immediately. 
    Additionally, I can not get the projector to work at all when using BootCamp with Windows 7 Professional.  It doesn't even see the projector at all not matter what I do.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  This is extremely frustrating and Apple is being NO HELP whatsoever. 

    Guys, I've found a workaround that works for both VGA and HDMI issues, to enable you to use the MBA at clients/concerts/universities/other offices etc. It's not elegant, but it works:
    - Turn off MBA completely
    - Plug into an HDMI or VGA (perhaps ANY) screen
    - Boot up and it'll be perfect; as others have already reported. Thus far these steps are OK for anyone who doesn't need to pre-load content. But for those of us that do...
    - Now, here's the trick, u can suspend/sleep the MBA now, THEN unplug the screen, move to your new venue, THEN plug in the ANOTHER screen/projector, and turn back on again and it'll work! Yes, even tho it's a different screen, it'll flash a bit and work things out exactly like we're used to with our older macs.
    - ie this enables you to set up an external display at work/home, pre-load all your presentation/content/web pages, close the MBA and go to client/lecture hall, then plug into a projector there without having lost your content.
    So, in short, provided the MBA is fooled into thinking it was powered up with a screen connected, it'll work thereafter. PROVIDED it is not given the chance to think otherwise ie don;t unplug screen whilst it is awake.
    This SO speaks to a perfectly solvable firmware/driver issue. Probably around power management.

  • Macbook air internal speakers not working

    My macbook air is nearly brand new, and suddenly the internal speakers are not working.  I have checked and it is not on mute, the speakers are turned up (F12), and I have shut down & restarted. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • New Macbook, old HDD, TM not working :-(

    I have got me a new Macbook, I pulled the HDD out of my old MB and installed it in the new one, as you'd expect that all went fine. Only problem is Time Machine has stopped working. When I launch it I can only see "today", however if I view the harddrive used to store time machine all the backups are physically there.
    I'm guessing this is down to the fact that it's a different Macbook, but how can I get TM to work with the new MB?

  • Macbook early 2009 camera not working

    How come my early 2009 macbook camera is not working?

    Gary Leung wrote:
    I have the same problem as this person had with iSight. It happened 2 times, once in December 09 and once Feb 2010. Both times I was told to reset the SMC and the procedure worked. But I would like your opinion whether something insidiously wrong with the SMC or other hardwares in my MacBook 13-inch alum late 2008 model. Or do I need to re-install the OS, which I upgraded it from 10.5 to Snow leopard (10.6) back in Sept. 2009. Thanks.
    Hello, Gary.
    Twice since Sep 2009 would not be a problem to me, but if you only used it twice (or a few times), I suppose I might re-think that.
    OS X is now so reliable that many of us who let our Macs run or sleep rather than shutting down between uses tend to forget that computer "temp" files can get a bit scrambled as usage continues. If you restart regularly but still experience problems with increasing frequency, you might want to consider doing some troubleshooting. I would start with  > Software Update... and then verify that all third-party software you have installed is updated to the latest version that is compatible with your Mac OS.
    If you use no or a few third-party software, an occasional restart will likely help OS X keep your Mac working at best efficiency. If you still experience any difficulty with your iSight, the troubleshooting suggestions in Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 should help you determine what needs to be fixed.
    If you experience problems in addition to iSight, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388 may help you.
    The instructions that came with your Snow Leopard upgrade can help if you need to reinstall.

  • Macbook Air 13" Camera stops working after a few hours. Needs Restart to be functioning again. How do I fix this?

    Hello!
    The camera stops working. Not detected by any program (Facetime, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom). This happens usually after a few hours of work or after the computer sleeps. To make the webcam function again I need to restart.
