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).

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.

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.

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 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

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).

IPhoto not working after updating to Mavericks?

I just updated my OS to Mavericks (10.9.2) and my iPhoto is now saying it can't open because you can't use this version of iPhoto with this version of OS X.
Any ideas on how to fix this?!
Thanks!
Ashley

I'm a total dummy and just figured that out! But now I can't delete this thread... ha!
THANK YOU!

Iphoto not working after update to mavericks. Cant access photos!!

Hello i just got the update for osx mavericks and i no longer can use iphoto.
I would just update it but the update is linked with a old itunes account i cannot remember the password for.
So my question is how do i update it without losing any of my data? Most of my photos were stored using iphoto.
Or if there is a way to access the photos in finder ill just take them off and stop using iphoto.
Please help!! I got like 4 years of photos in jepordy right now.

Hello Jorda5s,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iPhoto. When you update your operating system, applications you use may need to be updated as well to be compatible.
I understand that you are unable to update iPhoto because it was purchased with an older Apple ID that you no longer have the password for. I recommend resetting the password for that account using the steps in the following article:
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787
If you continue to have issues resetting your password, please contact our Account Security Team:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
Once you have reestablished your password, I recommend updating iPhoto.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

My macbook's (core duo)camera not working after installing show leopard, can you advice if I need some other updates or anything to make it work?

Hi purduejatt, I apologize for the delayed response as I understand how important it is to have a working camera! I would suggest clearing the data in the Camera application.

VIBER is not working after updating android 4.3 on my Experia SP.Any idea or solution ?:-)

Viber is not working after updating my Xperia SP to new Android 4.3There are totally confusing simptoms: I can not hear the other party, the other party can not hear me , I can not answer the call even when I try to or the other party can not answer my viber call even if they try to. CAN SOMEONE HELP or HAVE ANY IDEA :-)

I also had problems with xperia sp after updating to 4.3 - phone was slow to an extent of being unusable. However, even before update (on firmware 4.1) I found the phone quite slow.I am very happy that I returned the phone to my carrier in exchange to nexus 5. When I got hold of it I really felt the change in responsivenes compared to sony. I cannot recommend it more - it has all the sony has + better responsivness, better screen, better battery life (yes, I have tested this), better camera minus bloatware. I got all of this for paying 50 eur more. That was my second and last phone from sony. After having sony xperia S for 1 week and returning it because of wifi problems and after trying xperia sp and again returning it because of crappily written firmware I really wonder what are people at sony thinking about. People, don't you see that sony does not give a **bleep** about customer satisfaction after getting their money? Of course, you can downgrade manually, but don't forget that this voids your warranty - staff at service centre would be more than glad to tell you you have just voided your warranty because you brought them phone that you had to downgrade because of crapilly written UPgrade!. In addition to that downgrade means spending your a couple of hours of your precious time correcting mistakes of multinational corporation that simply does not give a **bleep**. Throw your sony into trash instead, and use those hours to earn money with which you can buy new phone that will actually work.

My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
I Have tried:

-checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
-going into general settings and reset all settings
-the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
-removing the last few apps I installed.
Nothing at all has worked, please help!
