Camera not recognized after update to mavericks 10.9.1

My MBP camera is not recognized by any applications since I updated the operating system to Mavericks. I updated to the latest version of Mavericks and still no luck. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? Thank you.

Hey was facing the same problem with my girlfriend's macbook air, but i found a way to solve it:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
its already there in the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Hope it helps

  • Camera not working after updating to Mavericks

    Hi,
    After updating to OS x Mavericks my webcam is not working anymore.
    I tested it with photobooth and skype but its not working.
    Please advice.
    Cheers,
    Chinmaya

    Use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (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.)
    To find out what you need to fix, you may need to test more than one Apple app in more than  one user account.
    All works for me, but you may need to update to the latest Skype (Skype_6.9.0.517).

  • Printer will not work after update to Mavericks

    I have a macbook pro and an HP7280 printer connected wirelessly.  After upgrading to Mavericks the printer will not work.  The first time I used it the system upgraded automatically (I forget what it said but it just went ahead and did some upgrading)  When I clicked on something to print it did recognized the printer but just scrolled and scrolled and never printed.  So I deleted the printer and reset the system and then added the printer back on - same thing.   Any ideas??

    It means there is no issue with the driver you are using and with it working correctly on Mavericks. So you have a network issue with the printer queue you are using. Normally a reset of the printing system and re-adding the printer would be enough to get things working again. But since you have done this and your issue is not resolved, there must be some other gremlins in the system.
    With the HP connected to the network, if you know its IP address you can enter this as a URL into a web browser. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the HP. Does this work?

  • Camera not working after update ios5

    My son has the 3gs iphone. After updating to new ios5 a few weeks ago, his camera stopped working. It will take a picture but it shows as a blank photo and he lost all the pictures he had on the phone as well. He just got the phone the end of Sept so he had no other back up or restore at the time of the update.
    We tried to restore to original setting and has not worked. Any suggestions?

    You might be out of luck... PlayBook support officially ended a couple months ago if I recall...
    BUT, try anyway. Previous issues with this very same grey bar camera issue were fixed free of charge with a RMA number from BlackBerry.

  • IPhone 4s not recognized after update to ios 7.1

    My iPhone will no longer sync nor show up in windows explorer (running Windows 7) after installing update 7.1. It may be relevant to note that I had replaced the dock connector prior to updating to 7.1, but the device was still syncing and showing up in the explorer. After updating, it won't show up plugged in and not on WiFi sync either.
    I have followed the advice here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    I have had no success. I have tried multiple cables which I don't believe are the issues since they charge just fine.
    Has anyone discovered a solution besides the aforementioned for this?
    UPDATE 1: It should also be important to note that the iphone does not show up in device manager AT ALL. Not under Universal Serial Bus controllers nor Imaging devices. There are no "Other Devices" or "Portable Devices" categories listed on my Device Manager.

    Can anyone please help? This community is not like it used to be...
    The worst part is, I cannot even do a restore since the device does not show in windows at all. I have even tried another computer and it is not showing up. At the very least, can someone tell me if they believe this is iPhone hardware related or iPhone software related?
    As I said, the iPhone was syncing just fine after the dock connector replacement. It was only after updating from ios 7.0 to 7.1 that the problem arose.
    Please any little bit of feedback is helpful.

  • My macbookpro Does not start after Update to maverick

    Dear all,
    I tried to update my macbook pro to MAverick MAC OS, at the beginning the update process went flawless but after the laptor reboot the display went black!!!
    No matter what I do, it does not show anything in the display. Indeed I tried to plug a HDMI cable to try to watch the info in a TV with out succed.
    When I turned on the POC, the famous "shan" sound appreas but there is no image in the display.... The light of the secure botton is on !! so it is constant on...
    What  might be happen here!! my PC was running well

    I pass over the info, I did the SMC without succed!!! unfortunatley in Venezuela there is no Store of MAC!!!
    The only practical alternative is to have the MBP shipped to the nearest Apple repair facility.  I suspect that will prove to be very expensive. 
    You may investigate if there are any competent local Apple repair technicians.
    Ciao.

  • External iSight Camera not working after update installed?

    a couple of weeks ago I turned on iChat and up popped a window that said i needed to update the (external) iSight camera i had plugged into my minimac (firewire). followed the instructions and did just that. little greenlight glowed happily, rotated lens and opened iChat--little green light blinked off and then iChat showed that the camera was not turned on. tried turning it on and off by rotating the lens, unplugging firewire and also restarted computer...no change. looked for update to firmware and downloaded 1.0.3, only to be told it does not work with OS 10.4 (bummer).
    had a back up camera, plugged that in and no problems...trouble is roomate recently got the pop-up screen when he was using it and, thinking he was doing me a favor, 'updated'...so now have 2 cameras that do not work and no answers to be found on the posts or the apple support site.
    any ideas?

    Welcome to Discussions, johnboysf
    (1) Assuming you are not ANY having other problems with your Macs and that your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date, you can concentrate on the iSight part of your system(s).
    Restart your Mac with no unnecessary peripherals connected and try the suggestions here:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
    (2) If your iSight still does not work with any app, check for Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight.
    (3) I cannot tell whether your mini is an iNtel or PPC. Apply the appropriate Combo Updater as follows if you still have the problem:
    • Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
    • Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
    • For PPC, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC).
    • For iNtel, 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) If your problem persists after trying all of the above, the problem may be with your iSight itself. The fact that you got that notification after you had previously been using your iSight successfully under OS 10.4.x, and the fact that the updater ran for you and your roommate under OS 10.4.x, makes me think there may be something wrong with your iSights. The Tiger (10.4.x) OS includes all the necessary earlier update (including iSight Firmware 1.0.3) and installs the Firmware update if necessary at the time you installed Tiger or first connected your iSight. Therefore, the Firmware update should be unnecessary and should not have been identified by Software Update... as being needed (unless someone has improperly thrown away some OS X files.)
    As you note, iSight Firmware 1.0.3 will not run except on Mac OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9 (or, it now seems, if something is wrong.) If you have access to a Firewire-equipped Mac that is using one of these OSs, you can try applying the update to your iSights using that Mac.
    (5) If you cannot find a Mac that is still using Panther, or if applying the update does not resolve your problem, contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional service. Ask your AASP if he wants to see your Macs, too, to check whether their software has been modified or damaged.

  • MacBook Air - Camera not connected after update 10.8.5

    After the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5, which I updated on my MacBook Air, and I didn't read the part about the camera saying it might not work for MacBook Air. So., carelessly, I updated and then when I wanted to Facetime it did not work.  Then I realised my camera wasn't working for all of my apps. Are the Apple Company going to fix this? Or do we have to do something ourselves? I need my camera back.

    (1) Do this: (If necessary, print this and bookmark the links before starting the process.)
    • If you do not already have one, make a backup of your important files now.
    • Use the  > Restart... menu command to restart your Mac.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    • Download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo)
    • Repair permissions AGAIN immediately following the restart that completes the Combo Update.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (2) If the problem continues, do this:
    • Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
    • Use "Mac OS X Utilities" there to repair your startup DISK (NOT permissions.)
    • Restart your Mac normally.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (3) If the problem still exists, do this:
    • Restart your Mac using OS X Recovery (⌘-R)
    • Reinstall OS X. (You will need to be connected to broadband Internet.)
    • As soon as the Mac restarts after the reinstall,
      use your Mac's Disk Utility (NOT OS X Recovery this time) to repair permissions.
    • Test your camera to be sure it is working.
    (4) If the camera still doesn't work, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • Website shortcuts not recognized after updating to 33.0.2

    This morning Firefox downloaded an automatic update to 33.0.2. At my place of employment, I have several 'shortcut' urls to internal websites which are not a www. format, they look like this:
    http://sitenickname
    I should just be able to type the word sitenickname into the bar and be taken there. However, after the update it takes me to my homepage and asks, "Did you mean to go to sitenickname?" and I have to click yes or no. Every time.
    Is there a way I can make this a recognized keyword so I don't have to keep answering this question? And for my own future knowledge, what are these types of keywords properly called?
    I really appreciate any help.

    hello jscuffins, if you click yes on "Did you mean to go to sitenickname?" firefox should remember that choice the next time you enter this particular local domain and don't bring up the search page again: http://msujaws.wordpress.com/2014/08/01/faster-and-snappier-searches-now-in-firefox-aurora/
    in case this does not work as intended, maybe have a look at [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

  • Ipod not recognized after updating software

    1. I returned my Ipod to Apple for battery service.
    2. After getting it back, I updated the software on my computer.
    3. When I plug in the Ipod, I get a message that the hardware did not install properly.
    4. The Ipod does not have an error message on itself.
    5. Itunes does not recognize the Ipod.
    6. I've reset the thing about 20 times.
    7. I'm about to throw the piece of crap away.

    Jim,
    Press "select"+"play" keys and you will see the disk mode sign. plug it with your PC, open the iPod updater and click Restore. Try to use the USB behind the computer instead of the front.

  • C20 camera not working after update to TC7.2.1

    Hi,
    The codec was version TC4.2.1 and everything was working great.
    We updated the codec to TC7.2.1 and now the camera is not detected by the codec. The bottom-left LED on the camera is white (greenish).
    We tried to downgrade the codec to TC4.2.4 but the camera is still not detected. Another camera we have for a short period of time is working on the same codec.
    I think it's possible to update the camera firmware but I can't find the file anywhere.
    Help would be very appreciated!
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Perform factory RESET of the codec once and reload the software. Also, provide below details:
    1. Did you directly upgraded to 7.x from 4.x ?
    2. Are you able to login to Codec now ?
    3. Also, provide us with the image details used to upgrade to TC7.2.1 (package name).

  • Why my Nikon D3200 is not recognized after updating to Yosemite?

    Hello.
    I'm using MacOSX Yosemite (10.10) and when I plug my Nikon D3200 nothing happens. It worked fine with MacOSX Mavericks (10.9).
    I read a possible solution that involved deleting raw files on the system library but it did nothing.
    Any suggestions about how to solve this issue? I really need my camera working with my Mac and that's not happening.
