Built-in isight camera: system profiler doesn't see the camera
Photo Booth displays the "no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application" message, and the System Profiler no longer lists the isight camera under the USB device section.
Also, the green light doesn't turn on during any of my attempts to use the camera.
I've "Repaired Permissions" from the Disk Utility, to no effect. I've also rebooted a number of times.
Thanks for any help!

Hi, Kieran,
I would suggest trying a PMU reset, and if that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd call AppleCare, since your MacBook should still be under warranty.
I had the exact same issues with mine and tried everything you listed. I also tried a PMU reset, and that worked once, but when I turn my computer off for the night, the camera stopped being recognized again the next day. I called AppleCare for help, and my computer is currently with them having this problem repaired.
Sorry I'm not anymore helpful than that, but it's always good to know when someone else has the exact same problem.

The iTunes Installation files include 4 driver dlls that I can install on a Windows thin client to enable the iPhone to be charged.
The iPhone hard drive or photos are not detected. I guess I need scanner driver support to cope with the camera.
Can anyone tell me which files from the iTune installation set are needed.
It is not practical (or even possible?) to install the whole iTunes package.
I've seen this question asked by a lot of people but never seen an answer.
Please, can someone help...Thanks for the reply.
A thin client is used to connect to a Terminal Server, or in my customer's case, a Citrix Server. I need the thin client to see the iPhone as a camera and pass it to the Citrix Client so the photos can THEN be either stored on a network storage device, or e-mailed.
Because the thin client doesn't even SEE a camera (i.e. the iPhone) it won't be able to connect to iCloud to do anything useful.
I think the question I should be asking, is how do I give the thin client Camera Support.
I've just seen a 2008 forum comment that said the iPhone DOESN'T handle photos through iTunes, but the PC (Scanner support) or MAC (iPhoto) handles them directly. I should be putting the question to HP.
This is still a good place for THIS question, because I've seen so many iPhone users asking it...
If I get a satisfactory answer I'll post it back here. -
IPhoto does not see the camera
iPhoto does not see the camera, although it worked really well for two years. Computer has been regularly updated. Please help, thank You.
Image Capture doesn't see the camera. I have tried with two different Sony cameras, that I have been using for a long time on this computer. It is iMac 27''. Both of these cameras work normaly in MacBook Air, that means that the problem is not in the camera, or the cards. Those are the things I have tried so far. Only difference I created on the computer is that I have, two or three days ago, installed external hard drive WD My Book Studio which is connected to the computer by FireWire 800.

IMac G5 System Profiler doesn't work?
My system profiler doesn't open. Cannot find in anywhere, applications or any other area. Is it Lost. Can I reinstall, any help would be appreciated
ImacG5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)If you are not successful from re-running the combo update, remember to do a Permissions repair on the entire hard drive using the First Aid panel of Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility.
Also, boot from the current OS's install disc 1, find that version of Disk Utility among the pull downs at the top of the display, and do a Disk Repair on the entire hard drive, rerunning it repeatedly if necessary until it reports that no repairs are necessary. -

Please identify your notebook/pc .
Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc at the barcoded sticker.
Post items numbered 1 and 2 on the following example of an HP notebook's barcoded sticker. Your barcode may be slightly different but will still have the important imformation needed for us to help you. The p/n (product name)is the most important identifying information
###Do not post the serial number as it is personal information.###
Post the installed operating system version ( and whether it is 32 or 64-bit ) and whether the CPU is an AMD or Intel product.
Not posting all of the information as requested will delay our responses and slow troubleshooting of the issue that led you to author a thread.
Is your notebook/PC still within its warranty period?

I looked at system.log in the system profiler today and see lots of activity at 2 a.m. when I was fast asleep, should I worry? It seems to reset hostname and mentions frequent transitions for interface, looks weird to me (I'm not a teckie!)
This is a section:

You don't need any kind of security software.
Just surf the web carefully, pay attention to where you're going and don't install anything that you don't recognize. If you are asked to enter an admin user name and password, DON'T. Unless you know for sure that you initiated the installation from a known and reliable source (like Apple).
Mac malware relies on social engineering. No amount of security/anti-virus, blah, blah, blah software is going to help. -
just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?
The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5. -

Hey,
I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
please help !FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number? -
Why Photoshop doesn't recognize the Camera Raw modifications ?
Dear all
I'have passed to Yosemite few day ago reinstalling all the CS6 suite, but now when I open an elaborated photo from Camera Raw to Photoshop, I can't see any modifications: it's seems that Photoshop doesn't recognize the Camera Raw modifications.
Someone could help me ?Couple of things:
1. That's not what Photoshop does. It's not an image manager, it's a file editor. So, you can set Photoshop to start when you connect your camera but it will stat and nothing will happen.
2. You need to decide how you want to manage your photos. You can do this with iPhoto, the Finder or something else. Which ever you decide let us know and we can help you set that up. -
Hello, I IPAD3 to upgrade 6.0 system, rear camera can not open up, open the camera stuck in the rotating screen
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

If I connect my iphone to my pc the computer see's it as a camera and itunes doesn't see it at all
If I connect my iphone 3gs to my pc the computer see's it as a camera but itunes doesn't see it at all, however, if I connect a friends using the same usb port and lead it connected straight away. I've reset the phone uninstalled itunes abd re installed and I've updated the software but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
If you have photos in the Camera Roll on your iPhone and have preferences set to open an image azure application on your pc when a camera is connected, your pc will do just that. That's how one transfers photos taken with the phone to a PC.
You can do two things to avoid this.
1. Just quit the image capture application and open iTunes. You do have iTunes 10.7 or higher installed on your pc, right?
2. You can change the preferences on your pc to do nothing when a camera is connected. And you can set the preference in iTunes to open iTunes when your iPhone is connected. -

My ipad 2 camera shutter doesnt open nor does the camera any one else having same issue
My Ipad 2 camera shutter doesnt open nor does the camera .....anyone else have these issues
Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
