Camera stopped working help

My son is in the military skype is the only way I can see him for some reason it stopped working.

You can try resetting the SMC (see Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) ) and NVRAM (see About NVRAM and PRAM)
Also have you rebooted the system since this started? Installed any new software or made other changes to the system?
If the above don;t help boot into single user mode (see Mac OS X: How to start up in single-user or verbose mode) and try the camera. Post back the results.

Try resetting your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. You won't risk losing any data.

Hello Apple members, my iPad Air fell on the ground and camera stopped working, please how can you help me out, this is because the camera is so important especially when I am out for events, thanks

My iPad fell and the back camera stopped working, please help me out, thanks,

If it doesn't come back after you restore the iPad, it sounds like you've damaged the hardware, you'll need to take it to Apple or an authorized service center.

Camera stopped working in all applications on my new MacBook Air 10.8.5 Any help?

My mid 2013 new MacBook Air camera stopped working in all applications, facetime, photobooth and skype. It says camera not found. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Thanks!

I have figured it out! You just have to install the new plug in to your macbook.
Download the AppleCamera.plugin provided.
Click on go in the finder menu, select go to golder and paste in /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/ ,
move that item, AppleCamera.plugin, to the trash
Go to your downloads folder and copy the new AppleCamera.plugin, then paste it in the folder where the old one was.
It works

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Seems like a driver or software conflict.

Hi Midnightbrat,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone: I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Camera
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Web cam stopped working with Windows 7 (but works fine with Ubuntu Live CD).

Since two days my web cam stopped working. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and I have a Toshiba L505d S5992. It does not show in Device Manager and Windows Update doesn't recognize it, manually I can not install it, so my best guess it was broken.
But then I tried the LiveDVD of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) and it recognized immediately my web cam and the blue light came on. I have no clue what happened with Windows 7 but it's getting very frustrating.
Any help would be very welcome at this point.

Download the webcam application for your unit from this website.
Uninstall it on the programs and features then installed the downloaded webcam application.
Hope this will help you solve the issue.

I have iPhone 5S after updating to IOS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working!!!!

After updating to IPS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working, it's just a black screen.

Hello Darth Evans,
The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone's camera working again.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Installing ios 8.13 camera stopped working

I have upgraded to ios 8.13 then the camera stopped working. Contacting apple support and asked for 210£ for repair. I am so disappointed, it was working fine until i install the updates. I hope they may help me to resold the issue. my case id is 741072733

Contact Apple Phone support and let them know - there is definitely a problem with the Wifi dropping after the 8.2 update. I have 3 different Wifi signals and 6 different iOS devices. The ONLY one having the wifi issue is the 8.2 iOS!!! I was told Apple support doesn't have any record of there being a Wifi issue with 8.2iOS AND that the technician I spoke to had not ever talked to a person having wifi issues with iOS8.2......really?!? Well IF you are having a problem, call them and let them know. Because there are definitely wifi issues with 8.2. Dropping, not allowing connections, etc

Video (Camera) stops working after a few seconds (Windows XP)

On starting a video call on Skype, the person I am connecting with can see me in the video. I cannot see them - only a still picture. Then within a few seconds the camera stops working, and a line appears through the camera icon. Skype suggests that there is another application using the camera - but there is no other program using the camera. The camera remains unusable until I quit Skype and restart it... but once again it will only display my video for 4 or 5 seconds. The camera is a fairly new Logitech HD webcam C525, and the computer is running Windows XP. Skype reports that it is the latest version of the program. Any help gratefully received!

Hi again
You said you have three buttons on the slide with two of them
configured for "No action"? Why? What is their purpose if you are
doing nothing when they are clicked?
You also said the buttons aren't pausing. If the buttons
aren't pausing the slide, it is probably simply playing and ending.
Sounds like you are expecting the slide to pause, so I'm confused
as to why you removed the pause action from the buttons.
Cheers... Rick

Droid Ultra - Camera Stopped Working

FYI.. Verizon Community.
In case this happens to anyone else...
After 24 hours of using the Droid ULTRA, the rear camera stopped working. I tried installing third party camera apps, doing a factory reset, nothing helped. Took it to my Verizon store and they confirmed the camera was no longer functional. Frustrating, since the camera worked on the first day I had the phone, and stopped for no reason by the second day!

I hope you returned that particular unit.
