Camera not working with Facetime under iOS7

Hello,
My front camera doesn't work since upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS7. The image is not clear (I just see my shadow)
It was working perfectly under iOS 6.1.4
The front camera is working with other apps like Skype and I can take picture with Camera' app.
I have an iPad and there Facetime works correctly.
Does anyone has the same problem ?
Soft or hardware problem ?
Many thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Sébastien

I have the same issue, and when i try to switch back to my other camera, it freezes the screen and I have to force shut down the camera app.
It all worked fine before the install of ios 7
I have tried reinstalling the software by restoring the phone, but its just the same.

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).

ISight Camera not working with Skype

Hi,
2 days ago my kids were skyping and everything was fine, then I turned off my iMac and the next day Skype wouldn't use my iSight Camera. In the settings it shows that it is using the iSight Camera but not picture! I made an update from skype but it didnt help. I restarted my computer, reinstalled skype nothing.
I am not a big pro with computers, so if you have an explanation, PLEASE be detailed in your explanation.
Thanks
Lucy

I know this is an older thread BUT I've been dealing with this issue for the past four days and this is what I found... (perhaps if it helps another person....)
Assuming you've already checked while on a Skype video call that your camera isn't turned off...
FIRSTLY
Open Skype Preferences to verify your settings.
(prob in your downloads, applications folder or on your desktop)
Then at the top your screen, next to the Apple Icon you should see Skype:
Select Skype, then scroll down to Preferences. Verify settings.
(Mine, for example, under the "Calls" Tab was set to autoanswer so I can check on
my dogs while away and tell them to get off the couch!)
SECONDLY
Make sure another apple app isn't hijacking your camera.
Open Finder, Devices, Applications, then look for IChat
Once open, Select iChat and scroll down to preferences.
(For my settings, I don't use IChat SO I changed the "default IM application" to Skype,
under General settings tab.)
Select the green Audio/Video Tab
and uncheck "Open IChat when external camera is on"
THIRDLY
I verified that all other Apps using the camera weren't open. My insight camera worked
when I opened Photobooth, IChat, Facetime and ICamSource (a monitoring program)
- just didn't work with Skype!
From Desktop, go to Apple Icon, select "Force Quit Finder", then scroll down and
close everything that uses the camera.
FINALLY
From Desktop, go to Apple Icon and select Restart (pic same as above).
Upon restarting, once the screen blanks out hold down the following keys all at once:
Option, Command and P and R keys.
For me, I heard the computer "restart song" chime twice before letting go.
(PRAM and NVRAM settings)

Camera NOt Working with Skype (but works with Face...

Hi, I have a client coaching session scheduled through skype and my camera is not working. Please, does anyone have suggestions? I've downloaded the latest version of skype from the skype website. My computer software is updated. The camera is working for Face Time. I've gone into "preferences" under "Skype" and clicked on audio/video. The video has only one option: "Built In iSight". I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had read this solution on other forums, but it did not solve my problem. (I rebooted before opening skype, had nothing else running, and still got the "video is turned off" error message.) I am putting my solution here for those unlucky ones whose problem is not resolved by the easy solution above.
I had this exact problem, suddenly, two days ago. I see from Skype forums and Mac forums that this is a very common problem. I spent 2 hours on Skype chat support (two different calls) with no luck. The technicians had not heard of the problem (!) and just kept saying try doing a clean install (uninstall and reinstall) which I did and didn't work. Finally, I copied an old version of Skype from a different Mac and copied it to my new computer (over-writing the latest version of Skype) and POOF! Problem solved. Clearly it is a glitch in the newest version of skype. If you are lucky enough to have an old version of skype on another computer, or a friend who has an older version: (1) copy your skype.app file from your other mac to a thumb drive, or email it to yourself--somehow get it to your new computer--and copy it into your applications folder. It will say you already have this file--overwrite? Say yes. Problem solved. (2) do NOT select "update automatically" as a skype option. If you do, you will always be among the very first to be derailed by a new bug. Let other suckers work through those problems. (3) when you DO update skype, before you download the new version, change the name of the previous version to something like "skypeJanuary2011" or "skypeOldVersion" so that it does not get over-written by the new version. Then if the new version is buggier than the old one, you can always go back.
Skype needs to offer older versions on their website for problems like this, but I don't think they do (?).

Macbook air camera not working with Yosemite

Hello,
had the same issue with previous system 10.9. Question was answered and it solved the problem, only until I reboot the computer. Then problem appeared again.
Installed 10.10.1 Yosemite and again my camera is no longer operating. I tried the previous method and used Disk Utilities to repair the permissions but it still does not work.
Appreciate the help

Zire72 is not working with vista. help me please.

I have a computer with Vista and a Zire72. I don't have the disk that came with it, and have tried to download the software from the website. I am not tech smart and need some simple directions and help. I have alot of money invested in my palm zire72 and love it but it just doesn't work with vista 64. what can I do?
Post relates to: Zire 72

I have sat here for 4 days reading and installing everything I was told to install to be able to sync with my palm. I am not smart about bluetooth or wi-fi. Geek squad came out and set up my wi-fi in my office. Can someone tell me or give me the A B C's of getting this thing to sync. I don't like the new phones that have everything on it. I love my palm because IT WAS SIMPLE TO USE AND SYNC. As bad as the economy is I hate to have just wasted $300.00 on a palm that I cannot get to work. . I have wasted alot of time reading and calling and installing and it still doesn't work. After about 8 hours today I got the desktop to download. No wonder palm is going under. Help me please !!!!!!!

External iSight cam not working with iChat

I've got an external iSight cam that was working fine in 10.5.8 with iChat - I'm using 10.6.1 now. Now when I open iChat, the camera stays off (no green light) and iChat video preview says that another application is using the camera so it's not available, which of course, is not true.
I've tried everything I know, but can't get it to work. The camera works with Skype, so I know it's functioning properly.
When I checked the Connection Doctor, under Network, it says that there's something in my network setup that is preventing video chats, but I haven't changed anything since upgrading to SL. I have a direct ethernet cable to my DSL modem/router - Covad. My wife's iChat works fine with her new LogiTech camera, and she's on the same home network/router.

Opps,
My head read that as MacBook Pro. Sorry.
Try Restarting the computer whilst Holding done the Apple (CMD)+ALT (OPTION)PR Keys until you have heard three start up Bongs.
Chax is an iChat Add-on.
Different version have done different things in the different iChat Versions.
There is only a Alpha test version of the one for Snow Leopard.
The iChat 4 version does not work in Snow Leopard/iChat 5 and that was why I was asking.

Isight camera not working with skype on Win 7 Bootcamp

So I was happily running windows 7 (need it for work) on my MACBook (mid 2009) with Bootcamp 3.2 until a couple of weeks ago.
I updated something (either Skype or Bootcamp, etc) and all of a sudden, my iSight camera takes like 4-5 seconds to initialize, and the frame rates on the camera with Skype are like 1 new grab every 10-15 seconds.
Anyone run into this before?
Thanks,
Wes

Camera not working with msn

Hi all I just bought this MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago, the built in camera works fine with photobooth or facetime, but when I try using it on Skype or MSN, it does not work. I cannot send myself over! I can see my friends but they can't see me. -_- help!

I have the same issue, and when i try to switch back to my other camera, it freezes the screen and I have to force shut down the camera app.
It all worked fine before the install of ios 7
I have tried reinstalling the software by restoring the phone, but its just the same.

Camera not working with Lion

Hi,
I have a late 2008 version of the MacBook Pro. I just installed Lion, my camera is not working. It says there is no camera connected. I used my camera a lot with snow leapord. I don't know what the issue is. Let me know if you can help?

After trying -what seemed like everything- on the software side of things, I went into the Apple store. The genius Bar person then ran through all of the same things without fixing it so he concluded it had to be hardware. We both agreed that since it was working before, hardware shouldn't be the problem but he was out of solutions. They replaced my entire screen module and camera. I don't know what else they reset in doing the hardware change but now the camera works again. I still find it hard to believe it was actually a hardware issue. Especially with all who are having the same issue. I'm guessing it had something more to do with some reset they did when the hardware was changed since my clock was off and my settings were different. By the way, this would have been a $310 charge but I was under warranty. whew!

Built in isight camera not working with flash

My built in isight camera on my macbook works just fine in photobooth and in skype or ichat.. but just in the past week or so, it will not work when im on websites that use flash. I've seen some threads that say that I need to go into settings and make sure that the camera chosen is the USB. When i go into flash settings, the only options are Google1, Google2, or Built in isight. It doesn't work with any of them. Does anyone have any idea how I can make it work again?

Your problem is not the same as that posted by the OP, and your system info shows you using Mac OS X (10.5.6).
For your symptoms with this system, I suggest you do the following:
(1) Apply the 10.5.8 Combo Update using the following process:
• Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
• Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
• Download and install
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
• Test whether Flash works for you now.
(• Turn Time Machine on later when you are satisfied that the update worked.)
(2) After applying the 10.5.8 Combo, if you are still having problems, download and install the latest Flash player compatible with your system:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Also check any other third-party browser plugins or other add ons. Apply all available updates and uninstall any third-party items that are known to be incompatible with your system.
