After update to 10.8.4 FaceTime has camera with line through it
It may be a coincidence, but after recently updating to 10.8.4 my FaceTime no longer works. When I open the program there is a camera with a line through it. If my wife tries to call me, the only option I have is to hang up the call.
It's been working great on my computer for years, so not sure if this is a hardware failure that just coincidentally happened when I upgraded to 10.8.4.
Anyone know of any tricks to try and reset the camera? I have tried rebooting and even tried a sudo killall VDCAssistant in terminal, but all I get with that is No matching processes were found.
It looks like I found a solution, so I answered my own question. I resset the system management controller (SMC per this link http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 and FaceTime is now working properly.
I will updated this thread if it stops working again.

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, the camera has lost it's telephoto ability.
After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5, my camera seems to have lost its telephoto ability.
The functionality is still there. The method has changed. Instead of the slider, you use the 'pinch to zoom' two finger gesture.

I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?
I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues! -
I have iPhone 5S after updating to IOS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working!!!!
After updating to IPS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working, it's just a black screen.
Hello Darth Evans,
The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone's camera working again.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

"No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.
Living in Canada with Rogers service provider.Its an IMEI issue. In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue. Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone. Here is where it all stems from. The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems. For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue. My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs. However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had. When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier. I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also. Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue. Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us. The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones.
What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM. Then, do iOS5 upgrade.
Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match.
I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far. Good luck to all others. -

Try a Reboot press & hold menu button & power button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. I never use PCs for software upgrades or downloads I always use wifi had no problems with iOS 8.1 B sydd

I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it.
Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
Help!1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
2. Reinstall
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List. -
After updating iPhone 3gs to IOS 5 has no service and battery drains in like 30 minutes
after updating my iphone 3gs to the IOS 5 firmware my phone has no service it says searching then goes back to no service i tried reseting it contacting ATT and they could not figure out the problem what can i do also the battery drains faster like in 10 to 30 minutes is fully drained. Was not doing this before the update please help
Perform a restore without restoring from a backup and see if that resolves the issue. You could erase the phone from the phone itself if you don't want to mess with iTunes. I'd just backup with iCloud before doing this to make it really easy.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
Post back with your results. If that doesn't resolve your problem, you're more than likely looking at a hardware problem on the phone, which is probably out of warranty by now. -
After updating to mountain lion, icloud password has not been accepted by system preferences
After updating to mountain lion my icloud password in the system preferences has not been accepted anymore. I already changed the password. Also the new one is not accepted by the system preferences. On iPhone and online everything is fine. Any idea?
I just got off the phone with Apple Support. They say they are having problems with iCloud and this issue should be resolved in 3-4 hours. We'll see......

After updating my Apple ID info. FaceTime & iMessage logged out of my Apple ID account on both my iPad and iPhone and are not logging back using the same Apple ID claiming that my user name or password was incorrect?! Surprisingly, it's logged in on both Messeges and Facetime on my Mac. My Apple ID is well and running on my iOS devices for the Appstore and all of my emails are verified with my Apple ID when checked online. I tried logging through a different account, which worked for that account but it didn't allow me back to my initial and primary account, I even tried to edit again some of the information on my Apple ID hoping that it'll allow me to sign in afterwards but with no luck, I tried both WIFI and cellular to connect and it also didn't work. Please help me! I need to sign my iPhone's and iPad's FaceTime and iMessage to my Apple ID again.
Maybe your location is not supported. I know it might have worked before but with the iOS 6 update there seems to be a conflict. Try changing your location on both your account and iPad using this guide. It might help you.
1) Go here: http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/manage/
2) Click on Sign in to manage your Apple ID
3) Click on Manage your Apple ID
4) Type in your Apple ID and Password and click Sign in
5) Select Addresses from the left hand side
6) Click Edit
7) In country region type United Kingdom
8) Click Save at the bottom of the page

my facetime in settings on my phone had2 emails and the cell phone number highlighted in blue and a check next to them. After updating to 6.0 newest bug fix, my phone number is not in blue, it is gray in color and will not allow facetime to reach my phone by this number. I am sure its a quick fix but WHAT?
ThanksI Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer -
My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1. Any suggestions?
Ok, I had the same issue, my phone is unlocked(iphone 5 with 6.1.3). So I went to the apple store and had it replaced. it worked good for a day and started doing the same thing. When the apple tech replaced my phone, he transfered my screen protector to the new one.
so I thought it was my sim card, I put in my sisters sim card from a different carrier and it did the same, so then I was like let me take off the screen protector, and that was it.
so guys, if you have a screen protector on your phone and it's doing "low signal", "No Service", "Searching", "Full bars cycle" then take off the screen protector. so far my phone is working normal.
