Although you may have tried other suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090, you do not mention that you have checked more than one user account.  You could check your user account before responding to Klaus for more specific help suggestions.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
Do not use the "Guest" account for user account testing.  If you don't already have multiple accounts, create a new account for this testing. If you need help creating a new user account, see http://support.apple.com/kb/VI32

  • HT5815 Got the OS X 10.8.5 supplemental update but my camera still doesn't work :(

    Hi,
    Before I even got the OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 update, my video for skype was not working. Facetime was not working as well, but photobooth did. After the update however, I get the message "There is no connected camera" for every application. I even got the supplemental update which was supposed to fix the camera problem but it still persists. Help, please!
    Also, I'm not tech-savvy at all, so if you do have a solution, please try to explain in layman's terms, if possible
    Thanks so much

    There is a known issue with mid-2013 MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5).  If your Mac is NOT a mid-2013 model, this issue does not apply.
    According to Apple's technical support article entitled "MacBook Air (Mid 2013): FaceTime HD Camera might not work after OS X 10.8.5 update", Apple is investigating this issue.
    In the meantime, a 10.8.5 workaround is at http://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    Before you applied the 10.8.5 update, (or if your MBA is NOT a mid-2013 model) you could have used the built-in iSight suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 to troubleshoot your FaceTime HD camera problem(s).  After getting the camera working in OS X 10.8.4, if you use a mid-2013 MBA, applying the 10.8.5 update and the workaround should have given proper camera functions.
    However, at this point, try resetting the PMU/SMC using the directions for
    "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own"
    from the HT2090 page reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro before applying the workaround.
    If your MBA is NOT a mid 2013 model, consider the other HT2090 suggestions, too.
    If your camera still doesn't work, or if the above suggestions seem more complicated than you want to attempt, contact Apple, your Apple retailer, or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

    Looks like a hardware issue that will have to be taken to a store

  • On any page that I have to log in Firefox stops responding and has to shut down. I've tried resetting it and it still doesn't work.

    I've been having this problem for a while now and I can't seem to fix it. Any time I log into any page, Firefox says not responding and I have to restart it. I have to run all of firefox in safe mode if I log out of my email or facebook. I've tried resetting FF and it still doesn't work.

    ''' "I have to run all of firefox in safe mode if I log out of my email or facebook. " '''
    Please explain what you mean by '''all of firefox'''. You're either running in the Firefox SafeMode or you're not. There's no "all" or partial SafeMode.
    Please see this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

  • After installing Mavericks, the optical drive doesn't work for movie DVDs, program install DVDs, or music CDs.

    The disc loads but is immediately spit back out. I am fairly sure this is an OS X software issue, since blank CDs don't exhibit this behavior. As far as I know, the drive was working fine before installation of OS X 10.9 (actually the machine is at 10.9.1). The machine is a Mac Mini late 2009 with built-in optical drive. I have seen some other discussion of this or a similar issue in the Support Communities and the only suggested fix I have seen is to reset the SMC. I tried that, with no change in the behavior.
    Also, the main OS X support page says that Mavericks includes 30 days of free support after install of the product, but when I try to follow any of the links on this page to find the "free" support, all I get are pages that require entering the serial number of the machine, which then tell me that the support for the machine has expired. Anybody know how to access the "free" support for Mavericks? It has definitely been less than 30 days since we installed it on this machine.

    After browsing a lot of the "More Like This" links, it appears that a LOT of people are having this problem. It may be that a simple reset of the SMC fixes the issue on later (e.g., maybe >= 2010) Macs. Anybody been able to resolve this issue on a late 2009 Mac Mini?

  • Weird beeping/blinking. After reseting SMC the fan/battery is out of control.

    I honestly just got my MacBook Pro back from the shop yesterday (it got a new harddrive) and the first time I let it run out of battery life, this happens.
    So basically what's going on is that I cannot start up my computer unless I reset the SMC. When the beeping/blinking (it was the one beep/per second type) first started about an hour ago I immeditely reseted the SMC and that seemed to work... until, that was, the fans would not stop blaring and the battery is not showing up. Therefore, as soon as I unplug my charger my computer loses all power and goes right back to that single beep, therefore I have to reset the SMC again and the battery is still not showing up, cursing me to live out this day in and day out.
    Is there anything I can do? I'm getting sick of resetting the date.

    when you pay for a repair, it comes with a warranty, typically 90 days. Take it back to the people who touched it last and ask them to make sure it is working properly before returning it to you.
    It is possible that a new problem has occurred, and that the timing is just unfortunate. But let them explain it.

  • The tab button is not operating, it is visually there, just doesn't work. tried rebooting and help but cannot solve the problem. also tried control+T and nothing works, reset to default and still doesn't work.

    Tab button is not operating. Tried rebooting, resetting options to default, tried with mouse and with control+T and nothing seems to activate it. It was working properly until an hour ago. Now the + (tab) button is there but it is idle. How do I fix this issue?

  • After trying 8-10 different files over that many days or more, the program still doesn't work.  Get the error message, file to large, unable to complete.  What does this program do?  Nothing as far as I can see.

    I notice many of us seem to have the same problem, does anyone ever answer our questions online?
    We paid to use this program, we would not have bought the program unless we had a use for it.  I thought this would be much faster than OCR, but I am finding that it is worthless unless it works and so far that isn't happening.

    Hi itsjudyj,
    Can you please tell me a bit more about the files that you're converting? How large are they (there's a 100MB file-size limit), and are they text, images, or both? File size or complexity can cause the ExportPDF service to time out before it can process the files.
    Other things to check:
    Clear the browser cache and try again.
    Make sure that you're using a supported web browser (http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/)
    Try a different browser
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • The last version of the Silverlight plugin doesn't work in Firtefox, I try to watch a movie in Netflix but after I updated the plugin it doesn't work, it worked with the older version and it works in Safari, how can be this problem fixed?

    I already contacted Netflix.

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • I am suddenly unable to update or download apps on my iphone 3G.  It says "the download will be available after you log in to itunes from your computer." I never had to do that before.  Even when I do log in from the computer, it still doesn't work.

    I am suddenly unable to update or download apps on my iphone 3G.  It says "the download will be available after you log in to itunes from your computer." I never had to do that before.  Even when I do log in from the computer, the download still doesn't work.  So what's going on?  Why would I need to go the computer to download an app to my phone?  That defeats the whole purpose of having the phone, which is to do stuff when you are not at the computer!@!@  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    - Try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Nework Settings. You will have rejoin networks
    - Go to Settings>Store and sign out of account and sign back ino
    Do you have a very slow wif connection on the iPod?
    Have you tied connecting to another network?

  • Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location because I need to turn on location services in the settings menu and in siri. These are both on, and after rebooting my phone it still doesn't work correctly. How do I fix this?

    No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
    What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.
