Built-in webcam isn't working.

I have HP 2000 Notebook PC with Windows 8. Built-in webcam isn't working. it's not detected by apps e.g. Cyberlink Youcam . even there isn't Imaging Devices in Device Manager.

It is an issue with the hardware. Mine came like that and they want me to ship it to them to be fixed for God knows how long. I'll just go buy an external webcam and next month when I have to replace my pc's at work I will shop for anything OTHER than HP. Not nice to sell crap to a person that works for an ISP and can warn her customers of the crap you sell.

2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine

My built-in webcam is not working. Macbook not recognizing it?

Ive had no problems with my built in webcam before but for some reason today and yesterday my Built in Macbook camera is not showing.. No Green light and no camera? Skype, photobooth, Imovie, online sites, Ichat, Nothing Works with my camera, it says No camera Connected? Please help. Macbook 10.5.8 Version.

HI,
Go to the Apple icon menu and hold the ALT key down whilst doing so.
Select System Profiler (it changes when and if you hold the ALT key down)
IN the System Profiler open up the Hardware > USB option
Does this list the camera ?
If not then do a SMC/PMU reset (the model Specific bits are at the bottom)
If it does appear then Log in a different Mac User Account (You may need to create one in System Preferences > Accounts)
Do those same Apps "see" the camera now ?

Built in webcam doesn't work in Ubuntu

Hi everyone
I've just installed a clean Ubuntu 14.04 on my MSI CR620 notebook. So, my built-in webcam is not recognized by Skype (in it's video settings it says "device not found"). Hitting Fn+F6 doesn't affect anything. Any helpful advice would be highly appreciated

Try to google for the webcam driver on Ubuntu since there isn't any supported linux driver from MSI.
It has an AzureWave webcam.
Found some information about the skype webcam of ubuntu may be helpful.

My built-in webcam doesn't work, can I download some drivers or something to repair it?

Few days a go, i saw that the iSight disapper from my iMac... I don't know why, coz i didn't delete it...
Can I find somewhere some drivers to my built-in webcam or something to repair it? I'm lookin' for it but cant find anything...

Hello
i dont think you can find any "Driver" for iSight as in include into os x itself
one thing to do is too see if your iSight is present into your mac , could be only a software problem
goto apple menu -> about this mac -> more info -> on left colum
hardware tab -> USB -> USB high speed -> if integrate iSight is present
click on iSight property you shoul read somme thing like that ;, if hardware is present
iSight intégrée :
Identifiant du produit :          0x8502
Identifiant du fournisseur :          0x05ac (Apple Inc.)

Courant disponible (mA) :          500
Courant requis (mA) :          500
second option
try to disconnect all usb devices - keep only apple mouse and keyboard
try use Photo Booth see if iSight are alive

Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

> webcam appears in the device manager
Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
All Programs -> Toshiba
There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

Built in webcam doesn't work on brand new iMac.

I recently got a new, 24 inch iMac. Evverything works good, but i wanted to do video chat today, and i installed all the intsallers for gmail, and my picture didn't come up. And i thought it my be just the internet, so i went to iMovie, and tried to record myself, and it said no camera connected. I know for a fact there is a webcam, for i can see it, i am just wondering if you have to activate it? There is no Webcam tab in system preferences. I also tried photo booth, and it said the same thing, no camera connected. I know its on there, i for fact can see it. And also the mic works. Help plz!

Hello cundiff11
I have three comments to offer you:
(1) Dennis (User den.thed ) has the right answer for you.
If your iSight does not show up as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler after trying all the relevant suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 , you have a hardware problem that will require repair or replacement.
(2) For the benefit of new users who might be reading Carolyn's post above, I offer the following info regarding these quotes:
Carolyn Samit wrote:
... Not sure if iMovie supports iSight ...
Your built-in iSight works with iMovie HD 6 or later. Click here for more info.
Carolyn Samit wrote:
... You have to launch iChat to use the iSight build in web cam.
Many other apps can use your iSight, too. Click here for more info.
(3) We will watch for your status update. Hopefully, you can tell us of your success!

BUilt in webcam is not working

The webcam on my HP Probook 4540s (Windows 8.1) work when i go to my camera it says connect camera. i updated the driver and it was working for about 30 seconds and then it went back to a black screen saying connect camera again. How do I fix this?

Hello Shawna_Kae,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

Spectre XT 13-2308TU Built-in Webcam is not working

Hi,
I recently bought a HP Spectre XT 13-2308TU, and I was able to use my webcam (HP Truevision HD Camera) for a few seconds before it blanks out and I was never able to recover usage of the webcam..
In the device manager, it displays the correct driver whenever I start up, which is the HP Truevision HD Camera, but after attempts to use the webcam, say from Skype, Google+ or even Cyberlink YouCam, it immediately switches to this spca2082 PC Camera.
There were previous posts with different models and I've tried the steps given but to no avail.
Any proven methods to solve this issue?? I need to use my webcam urgently..
Thanks!

There is a thread that discusses this issue and in most cases in the thread it is not solved. You should read it.
The best solution in the thread, that sometimes works, appears to be reinstallation of the operating system.
I would use the recovery media to execute a factory image recovery before contacting HP, if the issue still exists. Save all important data before you do this. You might also consider trying Windows Refresh to see if that does the trick.
Have you created usb recovery media or a recovery disk set?

When you open a new project in iMovie, and click on the little camera ikon, you should get a drop-down menu of the options open to you.
iSight is one of them.

Follow these steps to re-install the driver for the webcam. You will need to be logged in as an Administrator or have an Administrator password ready.
1. Click the Windows Start button.
2. Click Control Panel, System and Maintenance and then Device Manager.
3. Right-click on Chicony USB 2.0 Camera and select Update Driver Software. A yellow exclamation point indicates that the camera is recognized by Windows but is not working properly, probably because of problem with the device driver
4. Select Browse my computer for the driver software.
5. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
6. Select USB Video Device from the list, and click Next.
7. If the message “Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device” appears, click Close.
8. Restart Windows.

My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam on Windows 7 (HP Pavilion dv2660se)

Hi, I bought this laptop from someone I know, and Windows 7 came with it. I must say I don't know much about electronics. The built-in webcam won't work, either on CyberLink YouCam or on MSN Messenger. On CyberLink Youcam, it says no webcam is detected. In the control panel it doesn't even say there's a webcam, but there's an 'unknown peripheric' though. What can I do? P.S.: Please forgive english mistakes if there's any.

Hi I have exactly the same problem. My webcam was working for months but I recently had the laptop sent for repairs for something else, and I've just noticed since having it back that the webcam isn't detected. When going into the webcam program it says there is no webcam detected and for integrated cameras, make sure it is switched on. I've also had an unknown USB device notification flashing up but when I investigate in Device Manager I have in 'Sound, video and game controllers' Cyberlink Youcam virtual driver installed and 'functioning properly' Also in USB devices there is a usb not functioning properly "Universal Serial Bus Controllers / (Standard USB Host controller) / Port_#0002.Hub_#0003" and 'no drivers have been loaded for this device'. It's unknown but when I choose to search manually for driver updates the path it directs me to is C:\Program Files (x86)\Realtek\NICDRV_8169\win7 'Windows has stopped this device as it has reported problems (Code 43)' Does anyone know what I might be able to do? I've tried reinstalling the Webcam driver but apparent from that I don't really know where to go.... Thanks
