Camera not working on MBA 13" mid 2012 with OS X 10.9.1

The built-in camera is not being recognized by anything - Skype, FaceTime, PhotoBooth, you name it.
There are no updates available and I've tried rebooting, so I have no idea what to do here.
Does anyone have suggestions, please??

  • Istat menus version 3.23 not working correctly on MBP mid 2012

    I purchased iStat menus for my MBP (no r) mid 2012 and it does not seem to work right. It seems to install ok without any messages popping up but once installed where I get the chosen options onto the menu bar I have a problem.
    When I click on say CPU or any of the others, a window shows the details but when I then click in that window, at the bottom on EDIT I get a message saying:
    Tried uninstalling iSta menus and reinstalling but no go.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    You are on the other side of the world!   I don't use iStat.  No need to.
    The only thing I can suggest is to either trash its .plist file if it has one or trash it altogether and reinstall iStat.

  • AirPlay Mirroring not working on MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4)

    I am trying to mirror the display of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2012, OS X 10.7.4) to my TV using the latest AppleTV. AirPlay works from iTunes to the AppleTV, but I don't have an AirPlay icon in my Display Preferences to project whatever's on the screen to the AppleTV. What could be wrong..? Thanks in advance.

    You need to update to Mountain Lion. Purchase it in the Mac App Store.

  • Bluetooth issues on MBP 15 Mid 2012 with SSD OCZ Vertex 4

    Hello,
    I work on MBP 15 Mid 2012 with SSD OCZ Vertex 4 and I have problem with my bluetooth (mouse sometimes is very slow, laggy, the same problem with keyboard, keys are working with a delay) Unfortunately  it happens only with SSD drive and when I have plugged oryginally, apple’s drive everythink it’s ok. Software, firmware are the latest, I tried each reseting (PRAM etc...) and nothing helped. Do you have any ideas?

    Same combination and same issue.  I see a thread about this here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21659917#21659917
    My guess is that the SSD is causing interference with the bluetooth somehow.

  • HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

    HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3.  When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working.  When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode.  I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug.  REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated. 

    Hi lancekatigbak,
    If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

  • Mountain Lion 1.8.2 update made my dual monitor stop working on Mac Pro mid 2012

    Just done Apple's update for Mac OS X Mountain Lion to 1.8.2 and after rebooting my dual monitor stopped working.
    If I go on preferences -> Displays it shows me only one of my two monitors, even if I invert the connections the 2nd monitor doesn't shows up and there seems no way to enable it again.
    Any suggestion?
    P.S. I already tried to set from "Best for display" to "Scaled", but after rebooting Mountain Lion 1.8.2 reset it to "Best for display"

    Ok,
    did some extra test here, but first of all my configuration:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2012) with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB.
    2 LCD 24" Wide-screen (1st monitor Hyundai W240D and 2nd Monitor HP w2448hc), both LCD worked perfectly until reboot after installing OS X 1.8.2
    After reboot only the 1st monitor wored fine, the 2nd not even listed, so tried to invert cable connections on the 2 miniports on the ATI video card, but nothing changed, still only the 1st monitor working.
    Did a second test, disconnected the 1st monitor and connected ONLY the 2nd and now the second works fine.
    Tried to connect 2nd monitor on a different miniport, and i still works fine.
    Updated my MacBook Pro to 1.8.2 (it as an nVidia card) and connected my 2nd monitor to it and everything works fine, both the laptop LCD and my HP LCD are working fine.
    So it looks like Apple screwed up the ATI driver on the latest 1.8.2, now only ONE miniport is active.
    To all users with the same Mac Pro configuration: hold to update to Mountain Lion 1.8.2 until Apple fix this driver issue.
    More info are on the Console output, so will have to contact Apple on-line support to signal this bug.

  • Isight camera not working after the last update

    After reboot of the last OS update
    Isight camera not working...
    i've tried photobooth, ichat, skype and it doesn't show up anywhere. in fact, when i go to system profiler, it doesn't show isight under USB connections at all.
    just to give you a recap of what i've tried so far:
    * restarting (obviously)
    * resetting PRAM/SMC (by booting it the way it was specified in the isight troubleshooting thing)
    * just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
    any Help pls
    because i mast to use it as soon as possible in a conference

    *A few suggestions.........*
    Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
    my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat
    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.

  • 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).

  • HP Mini 110-3700 built-in camera not working

    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.
    Thank you!

  • 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.

    Hi, sanaayesha. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. We'd love to know more about your concern. When you say camera isn't working, does it mean it's inaccessible, not taking sharp images, etc.? Does this happen to both main and secondary camera? Are you getting this issue regardless of the lens you're using? You can try checking the workarounds given on this link to further isolate the issue: My camera is not working correctly. The content of this link is applicable regardless of your location.
