Built-in iSight cam randomly stopped working. All I get is a green screen!

I used it just yesterday with both Photobooth and iChat with no problems what so ever. Now all it shows is a green screen! Anybody know what the problem may be and how to fix it??? Thanks!

Welcome to Discussions, -Jonathon
Here are the solutions that help most users who encounter green-screen problems. None are complicated, but the only way to find which one will work for you is to try them one-by-one until you find the one that fixes your Mac.
(1) Check your System Preferences as explained in this kbase article about Built-in iSight camera produces blue or green pictures.
(2) If your System Preferences are set correctly, try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article.
Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific".
If you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting, see this Help article.
(3) If resetting or the other suggestions do correct your problem, try the following:
• Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
• Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
• Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update v1.1 (iNtel).
• Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
(4) A few iNtel Mac laptop users have also reported success after unplugging their Macs and leaving the battery out for half-an-hour to overnight.
(5) If none of these suggestions help, contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.

Built-in iSight camera doesn't work all the time...?

This started on iChat... When starting a video conference I see a black picture, the green light turns on but my buddy only see's a video of herself and is still able to hear me. I tried opening the audio/video preferences and the preview is still black. I also tried opening photobooth and it shows a black picture as well. This only happens on occassions, it works most of the time but this problem seems to be occurring more often. I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..?

"I've tried all the troubleshooting listed but nothing seems to work..? "
Please list them. This will avoid the +"been there, done that"+ scenarios when users try to provide you with troubleshooting solutions.
Otherwise, +"since you've tried all the troubleshooting listed"+ then send your computer to your local AASP or contact AppleCare if you are still under warranty.
Tried everything in Article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 How to Troubleshoot iSight and this thread my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat?

Built In iSight camera has stopped working on 27 inch iMac and 27 inch LED.

The camera's on my 27 inch i7 imac and 27 inch cinema display all of a sudden just stopped working. I checked in the system profiler, and both show that
they are connected. When I try video chat in iChat the green light comes on and connects like it's a one way video chat... when I try and switch to the display monitor's iSight the green light switches to the other monitor, but the camera is still black... I tried this with Facetime, Skype, and Photobooth, all nothing... Any insght into this would be great. I'm thinking that it could be an internal hardware problem with the machine... Logic or Motherboard....
Any info would be helpful
thank you

Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)

Built-in isight camera suddenly stops to work

Almost one year later after buy a Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.6), the built-in isight camera suddenly stops to work. It was doing well until now. It's a program and user independent bug. During a video conversation, it just stops. It happens when I use mercury or skype (the only video chat programs I use). And just after, when I try to restart the chat, the program doesn't recognize the camera.
Only when I boot the computer (shut down -> cable unplugged -> battery out -> 5s pressing boot button -> battery in -> cable on -> turn on) the problem is fixed for a while... but then the problem happens agains... the problem occurs after the 4th or 5th time Im using the program...
Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance.

MY COMPUTER (ISIGHT) CAMERA HAS STOPPED WORKING.... HOW DO I TURN IT BACK ON?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Just updated to lion and my cctv access has stopped functioning all I get is a white screen in the middle of the control panel where the camera shots should be. I think it is caused by JAVA but am confused as when i view on snow leopard it works can you help

Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!

Iphoto stopped working,all i get now is spinning beach ball of death.help!

iphoto stopped working,all i get know is spinning beach ball of death.please help.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why does my iSight camera periodically stop working, requiring PMU reset?

Just wondering why this happens?
Using a Feb 2011 Macbook Pro with OSX Lion 10.7.4
It seems that every time i use my built-in iSight camera, then the next time i go to use it, it can not be found. This requires that I reset the PMU, which is kind of annoying. Then it works for a few weeks and the cycle of iSight begins again.
Why does this happen? It seems pretty trivial to consistently recognize a camera which is wired into my computer. Is there something I could do to prevent this from happening again? I have tried turning it on and off again.
And currently, this article is linking to the reset instructions for Intel iMac instead of the Macbook Pro page...

One of the following will fix it.
(0) If you need help with the following suggestions,
      you might rather contact your local retailer or
      Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for help.
      They can help you or determine whether your Mac
      needs hardware service or only a software problem.
(1) Close all open apps that use the camera and then
     try again with only one app running at a time.
     If the problem continues, delete any Log-In items and
     Dashboard Widgets that might be using your camera.
(2) Try Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
     Be sure to use the correct SMC/PMU reset procedure
     for your particular MBP model: model with a battery
     you should not remove on your own
     If these suggestions do not help, yours may be a
     hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
    Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
    Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
(3) If you want to try one more thing on your own first,
     you can use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then
     download and apply the latest Lion Combo Update:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524
    Repair permissions again immediately following the
    system restart that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of iSight. See your AASP for hardware problems.
dcunited001 wrote: ... article is linking to the reset instructions for Intel iMac instead of the Macbook Pro page...
The article actually has THREE links to TWO different SMU/PMU reset instructions:
• iMac G5 (iSight),
• Intel-based iMacs;
• MacBook and MacBook Pro
You should use the last one ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 ) Yes, it is the same article as for iNtel-based iMacs, but it is the correct one for you.
The important thing is to page down to the section entitled "Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)".   Then click the reveal triangle ( ▶ ) to see and carefully follow the specific reset instructions for "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own". This is the proper reset process for your "Feb 2011 Macbook Pro".

Why did my built-in camera randomly stop working?

I have HP TouchSmart300 PC. Any assistance or point of direction to fix this would be helpful.

Husker402,
Welcome to the forum!
The good news is that, unless you have figured out a way to fold that system in half, the wires are proabaly OK. I am not being sarcastic; webcams are so fragile that the wires in notebooks are frequently damaged and the little camera will suddenly stop working.
Try this:
Reinstall the Driver for your Webcam:
There are 32 US TouchSmart 300 systems listed and 84 listed outside the US... some of these may have builtin webcams. Go to your computer's website, find, and reinstall your webcam driver. It's fast, easy, and may fix the issue.
If you are having real issues getting your webcam to work, or if you have recently upgraded you Operating System, you may have to reinstall your webcam software.
NOTE: If all else fails and you cannot find a driver for YOUR Operating System, note that sometimes Vista drivers will work on Windows 7; Vista came first - Windows 7 and Vista remain closely related. Just tell your website that you have Vista and see if there is a driver for you under Vista. If even that fails, ask again for assistance and we can look for a driver for you that will work.
Go to the top of the HP forum page to Support and Drivers
Enter your Computer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Scroll down
Look for category Software - Multimedia
Select the appropriate software, most usually, Cyberlink YouCam Software OR MediaSmart Webcam – if it is available for your system
Save the appropriate *.exe installation package on your computer
NOTE the name and the location - the *.exe file will likely save to "Downloads “
Install the Software / Driver installation package: If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package(s) and “double-click” to install, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTE: There is sometimes a lot of information at the computer’s website. Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.
I hope this helps!

Built in web cam has stopped working - Satellite A200

The built in webcam on my Satellite A200 stopped working yesterday and I dont know why. I have not installed any new software recently but it is not recognized when I use Skype or any other program. When trying to use the camera, an error tells me no camera is recognized or it is switched off.
I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled several times but it has not helped.
Please, does anybody have any ideas? (OS Vista).

Hi
Sorry but it is not easy to say what is wrong there. I recommend you to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool. I am pretty sure you will be able to use cam again.
I have cam on P200 and use it with Skype without any problems. I really hopr you will be able to solve this.
Good luck!

All I get is a green screen

Im using Express HD to edit videos from my helmet camera but when I import them into final cut, I can preview them in the viewer but when I drag them into the canvas to add it to the sequence and render it, all I get is the audio and a green screen. The files are .avi and quicktime can play them, any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks, Harry

Trash your preferences

reboot and then open the video file in QuickTime and look at get information. What exactly does it say about the file, video and audio?

My built in isight camera is not working since loading mavericks

Can anyone help me please? I can't seem to get the isight built in camera to work on my 27'' imac since I installed Mavericks. First noticed this when using skype but it also doesn't work on facetime either.
Any suggestions.
Thank you
Nick

If restarting Mac does not resolve the problem, use Disk Utility in OS X Revovery to repair your startup disk.
If the camera is still not working properly, follow Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 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.)
If the problem the problem continues after using all the above, the last thing you can try is to reinstall OS X 10.9.
If that fails, too, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
