Built in Factetime HD Camera not working after SSD upgrade

Hey guys,
So I went ahead and removed my optical drive and replaced it with a 2nd drive caddy bay and an SSD. I've rechecked all my wiring and everything twice and disconnected everything and reconnected it to make sure it's all correct, and it is.
Here's my issue
My Facetime HD camera is saying "camera is not connected" in all applications. Skype, Facetime, Photobooth, iMovie, and even under USB in "System Information" it's not showing up. My computer is completely up to date (All software updates have been performed), and I've reset my SMC, and NVRAM multiple times with no result.
A breakdown of what I've done these past few days:
I added a 2nd drive caddy and installed the SSD there, and made that my system disk drive (OSX is running from that drive). I formatted the old drive and it's still in its original location.
Any idea of what is wrong or how to fix the problem?

my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat
===================
To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again.  Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • FaceTime Camera Not Working After Yosemite Upgrade

    So After I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday, my FaceTime Camera stopped working.
    Every time I turned on FaceTime or Photo Booth, the green light on the camera started to blink like crazy but nothing would show up on the screen. It was just black. And I tried different user too, not working.
    I tried to reinstall Yosemite, no luck.
    Tried to rest SMC and PRAM, no luck.
    Tried safe boot, no camera in safe mode.
    Tried repair disk permission, no luck.
    Here is how it showed in system report, I thought it would be more details?
    I am using MBP with Retina late 2013 model. I am 90% positive that the camera was working before this upgrade.
    I don't know whether anyone else encounter the same problem and I am afraid it's something I installed that's causing the problem. In that case, even a clean install works fine, after I restore everything from Time Machine, the problem might just come back.
    Thanks!

    You have done the right things.  With all you have tried, some third party item you have added is a very good guess as to what could be causing your trouble.  The biggest difficulty will be determining which installation caused the trouble.
    I am certainly not experiencing your problem on any of my 10.10 Macs.
    geoffreysong wrote: ... In that case, even a clean install works fine, after I restore everything from Time Machine, the problem might just come back...
    Right again!  The way to prevent reinstalling the problem (and to prove your guess was correct) is to reinstall OS X using the OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X instructions.
    Next, before adding anything else, test your camera using the applicable suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight article.  (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.)
      • If the camera works now, your suspicion is correct.  You can then add ONE needed app FROM ITS ORIGINAL SOURCE (not from any of your backups) and test the camera again.  If the camera fails, you have found the problem app.  If the camera works, continue adding apps one at a time, testing thoroughly between each addition.  After all your apps are added back, if your camera continues to work correctly, you can copy your data files back from your latest backup.
      • If the camera doesn't work immediately when nothing has been added to your fresh Mac OS X installation, you most likely have a hardware problem.  There are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Hibernate Does Not Work after SSD Upgrade

    I cloned my stock 500GB drive to a 512 GB Crucial SSD. Unlike the stock drive, I did not duplicate the rescue and recovery partition (~12 GB). Although the computer runs very well indeed, the hibernate function no longer works. Instead the display goes dark, the HD light goes on, but any touch of the keys or keypad immediately brings the computer back to where it was left. Any ideas whats wrong? I also cloned my X201 HD to an SSD, but there the hibernate function continues to function just fine.

  • Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

    Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after Windows7 upgrade from HP specific to S/N, etc on laptop.

    My TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after I upgraded to Windows 7. I cannot find any support or drivers, etc. to fix.  I bought Windows 7 directly from HP specific to my P/N and S/N on my TX2500Z.  Any help? Thanks.

    after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
    i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
    so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
    the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
    basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!

  • Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

    I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port.  Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device.  I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks.  The drive does work using USB.  It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

    Re: Safari 7.0 zoom not working after Mavericks upgrade.

    Hey there sarunelis,
    It sounds like after updating to 10.9 the zoom function is not functioning at all. It sounds like you may need to check for 3rd party plugins. This article will help you check for that.

    To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • Forms Personalization not working after R12 upgrade

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded to R12. We have forms personalizations on the People, Enter and Maintain form and this is not working now after the R12 upgrade.
    I went to one of the form personalizations and Validated and Applied again but it still did not work. I also created a new one but had no success with that either.
    Any ideas how to get this working again ? Is there something extra that needs to be done for R12?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Shalantha

    Pl indicate which version of R12 and on what form you had the personalization in the previous version. Have you checked FND_FORM_CUSTOM_% tables to ensure that the personalization survived the upgrade ?
