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

Video camera stopped working for ALL apps (Facetime, Skype, Photo Booth, etc)

I have a mid 2011 Air. This happened prior to my OS X 10.8.5 upgrade. Anyone else having this problem? I see that there are threads where people had the problem AFTER the OS upgrade, and it only affects Skype.

You're welcome, s_b

As you can see from macbookair Technical Specifications, there are many different models of MBAs.
Your "mid 2011 Air" does not need the "mid 2013 Air" fix. Only a "mid 2013 Air" running OS X 10.8.5 needs that workaround.

With all you have tried, there is still something wrong with your MBA's software or hardware. Here's how I would proceed.
Use the Disk Utility in OS X Recovery (not your normal startup disk's Disk Utility) to repair your disk (not disk permissions).
If Disk Repair does not immediately return proper camera function, use the OS X Recovery System to reinstall your Mac OS X.
You can use the troubleshooting techniques from http://support.apple.com/kb/ HT2090 to determine proper camera function.
If your System Information utility still does not recognize your camera as a USB device after the repair/reinstall, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Why has iCloud stopped working with Pages 5.1 on my MacBook Air?

Hi all,
Since upgrading to Pages 5.1 on my MacBook Air, the option to open or save documents to iCloud has vanished. The iCloud sync is working fine on my iPad and iPhone, but I can't even see my iCloud documents and folders. Before, I used to have an iCloud button on the "Open File" dialog, but that's not there any more. I've attached a screenshot of the dialog.
I've tried signing out of iCloud on the MacBook, removing the Mobile Documents folder, and signing back into iCloud again, but Pages stays the same. I should add that Numbers seems to have the same problem, but other iCloud features all seem to be working ok.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is it even a problem, or am I just being dense? For reference, I'm using Mavericks (OS X 10.9.1 13B42) and the latest version of iWork.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Matt

Sorry folks, as soon as I posted, the answer posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23300934#23300934 solved my problem.

Copying/transferring applications to a new MacBook Air?

I have Microsoft Office installed from a disk a friend gave me on my iMac. Today, I bought a MacBook Air for using at school ect, is there any way to copy Office over from my existing Mac? I don't have the disks or anything because they were kindly lent to me. Can I do this using the Migration Assistant? I need Office on both computers, and I'm not sure if MA would clear it from my iMac? Thanks in advance!

You could use Migration Assistant (or Setup Assistant) to transfer all your applications and/or files from your iMac to your MBA.
Microsoft Office is going to ask for your serial number/product ID though. So if you don't have that you'll need to get it from your friend.

My camera stopped working in all modes ie facetime skype ect...

My camera does not work front or back. Sometimes the back camera comes on, but stops quickly. The camera does not work using any application.

Try closing the Camera app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Copy and paste has stopped working in all applications.

It looks as if the text is being copied, and it looks as if there is somwething to paste in the Edit dropdown window - but nothing appears when you do paste. Also, the 'Undo' button appears in the edit window, as if it has pasted...

When you say "edit window" I am going to presume you mean the Edit menu.
If you start your MacBook in Safe Mode (that is by holding down the shift key on startup and during the login process) does this change anything? This takes a little time, so don't lose patience.
Let us know we'll keep working with you.

Creative Cloud has stopped working. I have the window but nothing within the window. Any help?

Photoshop CC and Bridge are working fine. I can not get the CC updater to work, I only have a blank window. What should I do next?

Maybe you should post on

or

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the same problem and have tried just about everything for my dv9000.

Yesterday I was able to take photos but around 9pm last night my rear camera stop working. I have reseted my phone and have also restored it and the camera still is not working. Also I have deleted all apps that can have access to the camera.

Looks like a hardware issue that will have to be taken to a store

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!

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.

My camera stopped working, I get a blank screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My ipad3 is a couple of months old and the camera stopped working. When I select the camera app I get a blank screen. I can't do anything but close the app. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I correct?
Thanks,
Jojora

When you say that you can close it are you closing the app this way?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button when you are done.

Macbook Air 13" Camera stops working after a few hours. Needs Restart to be functioning again. How do I fix this?

Hello!
The camera stops working. Not detected by any program (Facetime, Skype, Hangouts, Zoom). This happens usually after a few hours of work or after the computer sleeps. To make the webcam function again I need to restart.
Any suggestions?

Why does that seem likely to be a hardware issue? How did you come to that conclusion? Do you know something about this issue that indicates that? (I realise that this might sound short and rude - I am not trying to be rude here - just to understand) My thought is that conventional troubleshooting would say that this is a software issue because it is fixed with a restart.
I also have this problem. The camera quits working after some time - I have not been able to make it stop working. Sometimes it is after I suspend the computer (close the lid) other times it still works.
All I know is that intermittently my camera stops working and it is a big pain to have to reboot whenever I am going have a video chat.
Anyone got any solutions, I'm not covered by applecare so would rather try and fix it myself if possible?

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.
