Camera not working (No video capture devices were found)

Hi,
Macbook air late 2010 upgraded to 10.9.2 camera not detected, it was working 2 minutes before upgrade.
system info states - No video capture devices were found.
I have re-installed 10.9.2 clean using cmd-r on startup,
repaired permissions,
reset SMC
still getting - No video capture devices were found.
anyone got any advice,
Thanks,
Charles

Hi,
Ok switched my Macair on to re-install 10.9.1, thought I'd give facetime one last try and its working
So the way I fixed it was to uninstall all 3rd party video driver (like airparrot).
This did not fix problem, booted up holding the Command-R keys.
Re-installed Maverick
Restarted
Camera was still not working
Downloaded latest Skype
Ran Skype - no camera detected in preferences
Repaired permissions using Disk Utility
Left it on for few hours
Restarted next morning, opened Facetime, now everything is working

  • No video capture devices were found

    I recently discovered that the iSight camera (now named FaceTime HD camera?) does not work on my recently acquired MacBook Pro Retina 15".
    I have attempted to reset the SMC, but that did not appear to solve the problem.
    Under "System Information" > Camera it simply states "No video capture devices were found".
    It also does not appear under USB as some other threads have suggested.
    When I start Photo Booth or FaceTime the camera icon with a line across is displayed, and Photo Booth also states "There is no connected camera".
    I am currently running OS X 10.8.5 (12F45).
    As far as I can tell the problem has been there since I first received the machine back in June, I simply have not had any reason to use the camera until now.
    Have anyone else run into a similar problem, or is there perhaps somewhere I could look at log files or system files or something like that to attempt to track down the cause of the problem?

    It sounds like you already have done everything you need to do.
    Because your camera is not being recognized by your "recently acquired MacBook Pro", contact Apple or the retailer who sold it to you for help.  They can tell you if your Mac needs to be repaired or exchanged for one that works properly.  Otherwise, they can show you how to use the camera.

  • 13" MBP Retina "No video capture devices were found "

    Okay so this issue has been posted a few times to say the least and I am another one whose Camera on his early 2013 13" Macbook Pro Retina doesnt wanna work with any software and according to the System Information app, doesnt exist anyway. 
    Tried all the suggestions I could find including:
    1.  Have all the current updates including OSX 10.9
    2.  Resetting the SMC
    3.  Reset the PRAM
    4.  Reinstalled the OS
    And still nothing.  So got onto Apple and now going in to see them on Wednesday to have a pop at fixing it.  However, having trawled lots of dicussions on this issue, some are claiming that we are waiting for an update from Apple to fix this issue so before I go on a 60 mile round trip to go see the Apple Doctors, is there any truth in this?

    If restarting your Mac and using the Disk Utility in your Mac's Finder > Go > Utilities folder to repair permissions does not resolve your camera trouble, you may have experienced a bad download or install of your OS X 10.9 Upgrade.
    Reinstall OS X Mavericks.  Immediately following the restart that completes the reinstall, repair permissions again.
    Then check your camera's function again.  Test more than one Apple camera app in more than one user account.

  • Front facing camera not working for video chat on Revolution

    How come the front facing camera doesn't work on Tango? I wanted a new phone with FFC to use on Tango and for when Skype goes video on phones and it seems it don't work on Tango. Is it just Revolution or is it the same on all phones? I don't need a FFC phone to take pics of myself I have had no problem doing that on other phones, would love the feature to do what it is supposed too.

    Hi bulldog69!
    To answer your question, some of those video chat applications have additional 'plug-ins' that need to be downloaded from the Market as well. Just search for "tango" in the Market and see if anything pulls up. If this is not the case, try to uninstall and re-install the application from the Market.  I recommend trying another video chat app to see if that works as well. If you can take photos and video with the FFC, there's no issue with the device.
    Hope that helps! Keep us posted.
    Thank you!
    Well we have two Revolutions and i tried the uninstall and reinstall and no good. Couldn't find any plug ins.
     What other video chat apps do you know of that might work? Tried Fring and tha was junk. Thanks for any of your help that you give me

  • Inbuilt camera not working

    The green light next to my camera is always on. When I turn my Macbook off the light stays on, there is only a brief moment when the light is off. This is when the computer is starting up.
    When I am using applications like Facetime, Photo Booth, Skype or any other application that requires a camera it comes up with the display No camera available. Furthermore, in System Information under camera it displays "No video capture devices were found."
    I have tried resetting my SMC, I have no login items or widgets that use my camera. There is the same problem on guest user.
    This has been happening for sometime now and I do not know how to fix it, is there anything I can do?

  • Problem with video capture device, with a virtual camera

    I try to use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 with a virtual camera(DirectShow Filter) but met such a problem:
    "Error connecting input preview RGB filter."
    "Failed with error 80004005:SetupInputVideoPreview(pFilter, pguidCategory)"
    "Failed with error ffffff97:SetupVideoPreview(pFilterSource)"
    "Problem with video capture device. Please verify that the video capture device is working correctly and is not already in use."
    However, it is good to use AMCap,
    what's the problem with FMLE.
    Looking forward to your replies. Thx!

    Did you ever figure out the problem/solution?
    I am experiencing the same thing with my virtual camera filter when connecting to FME?

  • Can't get driver to work with ezcap usb 2.0 video capture device on windows 8.1

    I have an ezcap video capture device that works fine on my windows 7 machine but will not work in windows 8.1. The software (arcsoft 3.5)  functions properly but will not let me select the video grabber as a source. The driver itself indicates not compatible with 8.1 and the there are no drivers out there that I can find to address this issue? Any known solution would be helpful.

    Hi,
    It is not from HP. Please try driver from the following link:

  • After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

    After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

    Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
    I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's.  I have been using it for years without a glitch.  I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types.  Please let us know if it works or not.

    Hi! I've got a problem with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2. Why i can not open Video Capture Device Settings? I'm clicking this button, but it doesn't appear, there is just a blinking of the camera's window. Please help me, i'm looking like a shining red pig! Need to change the light or contrast.

  • Opinions on low cost USB video capture devices for FMLE?

    I have already tried a few such devices.  I would at least like to achieve reasonable SD at 720 X 480.  HD would be a plus, but not necessary.  My camera has HDMI, SDI, and Component and composit out.  I have already tried a couple of capture devices, and the results were as follows. 
    SIIG USB 2.0 Video Capture Device - JU-AV0012-S1
    Pretty clear as to why this was so cheap.  It claims full NTSC support, but that is only on the input.  Output is 320 X 240 only. 
    DIAMOND USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device GC500 USB 2.0 Interface
    Again, this unit claims "HD" but that is only on the input.  Output is 640 x 480.  The image quality was terrible with the supplied software, or with Adobe FMLE.  Noisy, and well below full NTSC quality.  Even when fed with the component out of a Sony NX5.  Unacceptable.  Even for the bargain price at Frys. 
    Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition
    Seems I bought a dud.  I went back and forth with Hauppauge support, and never could get this to be detected by FMLE, or the included software.  On doing a search online for the error message I received, I discovered many similar trouble reports on various forums.  I bought this one at a discounted price.  Perhaps this is the reason why. 
    The notebook I have is a Windows unit, with no expresscard slot, or 1394 input (unfortunately).  I did look briefly at the Blackmagic Intesity Shuttle, but it needs USB 3.0.
    Curious to hear of any sucess with USB capture and FMLE, and with a device under (hopefully well under?)$200.

    I've been streaming with the ION Video2PC capture device...it works flawlessly with no problem. The machine I've been testing it on can only pump out 480p or 540p at the most. But, I'm sure if I used it on a faster machine I would get way better results. You can find them used under $30 bucks online and unlike most cheap capture/input devices, you can access the video and audio in FMLE. Just thought, I'd share they info.

  • How to connect a video capture device to Satellite M30X 127

    I'm going around in circles trying to find a video capture device that will function with a laptop and would be grateful for advice. By way of example, I'm now looking at the 'Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking around (but not Pinnacle, who seem to have a terrible reputation for capture items).
    Problems include:
    1. Main problem is - many video capture external devices require a 'line-in' to PC for good quality audio transfer. This laptop doesn't have a line in, only the mike and headphone jacks. In addition, I've also tried a few RCA pins in the 3.5mm microphone/headphones jack and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from vcr to my PC?
    2. The ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a SIX-pin type. M30X is a FOUR-pin type. Are there adapters available?
    3. Some capture programmes seem to require huge capacity of RAM. Is a laptop going to be suitable to do the job? (I simply want to capture old vhs tapes from vcr to PC, then burn to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello
    You are right! You must use external device for signal transfer to your notebook. I dont know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. For data transfer I have used USB port.
    'Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me but I dont see any reason why this should not work well. Use delivered software for video capturing and there should not be any problem.
    Only thing is that after recording the whole video material must be prepared for burning and unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy this and want to use on right way I recommend you to expand RAM to 1GB.
    Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
    PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
    PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 with diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.

    Adobe premiere elements 12 and using Diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.
    AVI files will not load into Adobe premiere elements 12.
    I bought what I thought were the two best software and capture devices.
    I am archiving old VHS tapes and using Diamond vc500 capture software called EZ grabber. I thought the best archiving format would be AVI files. As I just started this project. I am willing to do what is needed.
    That even being, going and buy another capture device that being for a VCR to PC using a USB are even a Video card.
    EZ grabber software ask you to record in what format. I picked AVI. There is DVD - SVCD - VCD - MPG4. I want to archive then go back and edit. The DVD or SVCD format, is that not the same as mpeg 2?
    You and I know the drill. Saving in what long term archive format and that dare thing about video compression and losing quality of the videos. Its all a nightmare.
    Once again I am willing to buy another capture device for a VCR that will work with Adobe premiere elements 12.
    Help please with long term archiving format and capture device.
    Thanks

    The answer is B.
    Capturing the VHS content to computer (via the Diamond vc500 and USB connection and EZ grabber) to obtain an .avi file on your computer and then trying to import that into Premiere Elements with its Add Media/Files and Folders?
    When I do that, the Adobe premiere elements 12 crashes or only loads a 2 mins of video.
    The firewire connection device "Canopus" product sounds great. But I really don't want to spend that much on my home videos. My PC does not have a Firewire connection. So add a new card for that and the Canopus product. I could just pay someone to do my VHS tapes.
    Diamond vc500 $35
    Adobe premiere elements 12 $65
    Firewire card $50 plus
    Canopus $180
    $330 is way too much for simple home VHS videos

    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.

    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.
