Camera not working- Macbook retina

Hello,
I just got a new Refurbished Macbook Pro i5 with Retina.
After 2 days, the camera stopped working. I brought it to the Apple store, but before I had a chance to show them the issue, the camera started working again and apparently there was no sign of the error in the log. A day after, I tried to open facetime and photo booth again and I get those error messages in the log:
Jul 17 21:27:51 FaceTime[1330]: 21:27:51.196916 com.apple.AVConference: AVConferencePreviewServer setCaptureCamera got cameraID 0
Jul 17 21:27:51 com.apple.SecurityServer[15]: Session 100043 created
Jul 17 21:27:53 Photo Booth[1335]: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces.
If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Yes, but they may also see it broken, even it they need to keep it for a period of time for testing.
Take your MBP back to the Store with the info you posted above. With that info, they can determine whether your new Mac needs service or replacement while it is still in warranty.
Errors (and proper functions) that occur "randomly" are indications of intermittent faults that Apple Service Technicians can find and correct more efficiently than anyone else on earth.

Audio and Camera not working Macbook air

I got my macbook air as a present from a relative and it seemed to work nicely even though I think it was used before. I took pics and watched videos on it before, but all of a sudden the sound would not work so I would restart my laptop and then it would work again but now even restarting it wont work the option to use the built in speakers is not there anymore. I wanted to facetime my friend and it says no that there is no connected camera. I do not know what to do. I really want to get back to watching stuff and taking pics please help me !!!!

Hello fridamente123,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iSight camera and internal speakers are not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Camera not working macbook pro

This is crazy. I just went to turn on my photo booth to take a picture of something. And it tells me there is no camera detected. I don't think i have used the camera since i upgraded to mavericks and that was months ago. and there is nothing in system prefs about there being a camera to detect.

Use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

You did the right thing.

what should i do?
If you like the Mac you have and need the built-in camera, spend the money.
If you want a different computer, now is a good time to trade.
If cost is a concern, consider a Mac compatible external camera. Take your MacBook Air to the store when you shop, and try the external camera you want to be certain that it works before you buy.

Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks

I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Macbook pro camera not working -- very bad support

I have a macbook pro bought around October 2010. It has 3 years international warranty.
Few months back when I wanted to use skype, I figured out that the camera is not working. Took it to Apple care centre in Bangalore.
They found the camara to be defective. From their notes
" Reset SMC and PRAM. No go. Tried with known good OS. No go. Found camera not detected in system profiler. Checked with known good display. Camera working. Denied coverage as dent on the display clamshell"
Chatted with the relationship officer Joana,
1. I fail to understand that replacing the camera requires relplacing the whole display
2. Small scrach (can send the picture to you) on the outer cover of teh display is not the root cause of the camera not working
3. Display is working perfectly fine. Only camera not working
The relationship officers are such dumb and techically challenged people, that they fail to understand the real issue and instead just try to console you.
If camera is not working due to a defect, it needs to be replaced in warranty, if Apple's design dictates camera replacemnt to the whole display replacement, so be it.
Due to my feedback, some of my colleges (10+ guys) took Macbook pro. Extreamely dis-satisfied with the support cell and their techical abilities. Did not expect this from Apple. Will not take any Apple product and will not recommend anyone. Thinkpad rocks!!

Web camera not working after sowtware update

HI, there
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. Press Menu>Settings>Application Manager>All>Camera>Clear data. Please keep me updated on the status as I would be more than happy to provide additional support.
Thank you,

* just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
any Help pls

To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

I just bought my HP Mini 110-3700 (LV831PA#UUF) last january. I just tried using the HP camera twice to check if the image it captures is clear. Yesterday, i will use the camera for a video chat but the messenger said "Cannot detech the camera/ device is not connected).When I had clicked the link for the HP Camera it had open but the light indicator didn't have any light and the camera isn't working.
I already tried restoring the HP mini to factory settings but after that, the camera isn't working still. What should I do? Need help ASAP.

Camera not working on new profile

I have 3 profiles on this same Skype, on one laptop. 1 profile works fine but on second profile camera not working (video not showing), audio works fine. I created a new account (e-mail is same from second profile) and is this same - video not working. I dont understand what is wrong. This same laptop, this same camera, this same drivers/windows7, latest Skype, and from 3 profiles one working fine. Please help!!!

Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
