Facebook Videos and Isight not working.

Every time I go to leave someone a video on facebook with my built in isight camera, I am able to record the whole video, but as soon as I hit stop to recording the error message comes up "An error occured. We were unable to save your video. Give it another shot."
I know my video works because I use it on Photobooth, and skype and ichat. It's just facebook that I can not leave videos for some reason and I want to know why.

Welcome to Discussions, awrig537
I tested and saving video recorded with my iSight works for me now.
Try restarting your Mac and testing FB video again with no other apps running.
You can also check other User Accounts, etc.: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If you still have problems, check that your Flash settings are correct: http://tinyurl.com/3dxvkk

  • Wifi, Bluetooh and iSight not working MacBook Pro

    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. 8Gb Ram  Mavericks OS. I powered down one evening, everything normal.  Next day I rebooted it to find that I had lost Wifi, Bluetooth and isight.  Oh, and the fan runs at high speed constantly.
    Ptheise computer is running OK and I can connect to network via ethernet.
    Messages are:
    1. Wifi - no hardware installed
    2. Bluetooth - not available
    3. iSight - there is no connected camera.
    I have rebooted in safe mode, reset NVRAM and SMC, left it off for 30 hours. Tried an AHT. None worked.
    Have checked system information.  Responses are:
    1. WiFi
    Software Versions:
      CoreWLAN:          4.3.2 (432.47)
      CoreWLANKit:          3.3.2 (332.36)

    I'm presently redownloading Mavericks to do either a reinstall, or clean install, but before I do this can anyone suggest a solution?  Computer back up is up to date.
    NB: I live in Botswana where there are no Genius bars, nearest reliable service is in South Africa and downloads are VERY slow.
    Thanks in advance

    Restarting Mac may fix it.  Otherwise: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (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 built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Bluetooth and Isight not working since upgrade to Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    I have a mid-2010 MBP running OSX 10.8.2.
    Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, My bluetooth and iSight both have stopped working.  I have tried the clear the SMC numerous times. Mostly it does not have any effect. However, a couple of times, it has restored service to the iSight and the bluetooth, but as soon as I reboot the machine they are back to being disabled. Sometimes they become available without my resetting the SMC and for seemingly no reason. I have also replaced a couple of different kext files: Apple_iSight.kext and AppleUsbVideoSupport.kext with known good ones. I also Verified and Repaired on the disk. In this case, permissions issues were detected and repaired, but without fixing my original problems.
    I would like desperately to resolve this without buying a new disk and doing a fresh install of OSX Lion. I would definitely NOT go back to Moutain Lion in this scenario. But I don't know what do next. I don't see many posts on this subject and those I have seen do not offer much hope. I know I am not the only one suffering with this, but I don't think Apple is addressing the problems, because they may not be pervasive enough right now.
    If anyone has found a way to resolve this permanently, please share with me. I would like to roll back to Lion, but can't do that either.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks,
    Brad.

    This is likely a conflict with some 3-rd party s/w you have on the MBP but not the other two computers. Have a look in here
     > System Preferences.. Users & Groups | Login Items
    Is there something in here that's not in the same list on the other Macs? If so, try removing it and restarting your computer. If that solves the problem, try contacting the developer to see if there's an update.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, go through your other 3rd party apps and look for updates on all of them. One of them is stopping your mouse from working properly.

  • USB and iSight not working

    Hi, I've been having some issues with my macbook:
    (1) My front USB port is not working. I've been getting the following message everytime I restart (even when nothing is pluged in): "Becayse a USB devide was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled". I've tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, this does not work.
    (2) My built-in iSight no longer works. I tried using skype and photobooth and the camera is not detected. I looked in my system profilers and isight is listed but I'm not sure what this information tells me (see below):
    Built-in iSight:
      Product ID:          0x8507
      Vendor ID:          0x05ac  (Apple Inc.)
      Version:           4.42
      Serial Number:          8TA5B04NPDCJ6F00
      Speed:          Up to 480 Mb/sec
      Manufacturer:          Apple Inc.
      Location ID:          0x24600000 / 2
      Current Available (mA):          500
      Current Required (mA):          500
    (3) My battery drains when my macbook is in sleep mode (this was not happening before).
    (4) My computer seems to be getting really hot. This cause the bottom rubber of my macbook to start peeling off. I've downloaded iStat to keep and eye on the temperature but I'm not sure if this is related to my other issues.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Are there any tests I can run? I'm not sure if these issues are related or not. Please help.

    According to the AHT instructions on p. 61 of the manual for your 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/macbook_13inch_mid2010_ug.pdf you did the correct restart process.  To me, the fact that AHT does not work either is one more indicator of likely hardware trouble.
    chantal102 wrote: ..  I would like to try everything I can do myself before bringing it in...
    If nothing else you try fixes your issue, try restoring your Mac's software.  If neither a Time Machine restore nor a complete restore to factory original condition (p.60) corrects your trouble, I think you are left with the choice of AASP service or deciding whether it is time for a new Mac.

  • BBM, E-mail, Facebook, Ubersocial and Internet not working

    Hi there,
    I am South Africa and have been living in Seattle in the US for 4 months now and have been using my Blackberry via wifi only and have had no issues until last Saturday when went on vacation in the US but when I returned to Seattle my BB Messenger, Facebook, Ubersocial and Internet have stopped working. The only thing that is working is Whatsapp. I have restarted my BB by taking the battery out and waiting about an hour before switching it back on again but that has not worked.
    I get the following message when trying to go onto my browser "unable to connect to the internet, please try again later. If the problem persists please contact your service provider"
    My servie provider in South Africa is MTN but I have not been using my BB via them and only using it via the wifi at home in Seattle. What steps can I take to get all of the above-mentioned apps working again?
    Thanks,
    Varusha

    I would assume that your old South African carrier has deleted your BIS account as you are no longer with them.
    As per my post, you need an ACTIVE Blackberry Data Plan to use these apps so give your new carrier a call and see what options they offer.

  • Powerpoint 2011 mac - video and audio not working

    Hello all,
    I am using Powerpoint 14.2.5 on my mac running osx 10.8.2
    When I try to add video  (.MOV / WMV / MPEG-4 etc) or audio files (MP3, AIFF, WAV etc) they appear on the slide but the play controls will not work.
    Also when I play my slideshow they do not function.
    I can get a movie to play if I set it to play automatcally when that slide is reached but even then it only plays half of the video not the whole thing.
    In any case I only want it to play when you click to the next event in the slide show.
    Very frustrated.
    QuickTime is installed ok.
    All updates are installed for both osx and Powerpoint.
    Any tips?

  • Sound for recording video and audio not working

    I have tried everything to get the sound to work.  I have reinstalled the audio driver.  When I go to soundrecording.exe to see if I can record sound it gives me a message "An audio recording device cannot be found."  Please help this is driving me crazy.

    well, since people can hear you on a call, it's not a hardware problem with the microphone.
    It appears to be something wrong with your recording apps -- the camera (in the case of video) and whatsapp.
    First attempt would be to:
    a) install another camera app with video capability and see if IT will record audio. and
    b) uninstall and reinstall whatsapp to see if that fixes the problem.
    If that doesn't work, to a backup, then try a hard reset and re-install the apps one by one, confirming that recording works after each install.

  • Boot Camp: Keyboard and iSight not working

    I am a recent Mac convert and just installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro. After going through the Boot Camp installation program I installed Windows Vista Business. Now, when I boot up in Vista my iSight is not detected and my keyboard will not illuminate.
    I tried reinstalling the drivers off of the Leopard DVD but to no effect.
    Help!

    I'm sorry that you are in the same situation. I removed the partition and started the whole process again, reinstalled Vista, added the Boot Camp drivers from the DVD and then went back and added the specific keyboard and iSight drivers individually but NOTHING changed.
    If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated.

  • Video and sound not working

    I have found several issues with Itunes on various computers where when playing trailers in Itunes, there is NO video and NO sound. All of the affected machines are on Windows 7 Professional mostly 64 bit. Some Dell Desktops and some Lenovo laptops. There seems to not be any pattern. Uninstalling Itunes and re-installing does not fix this issue. Some machines with same above OS have no issues. All are on iTunes  11.1.3.8 version. I have searched through many formums and it appears this issue has been occuring for many many years. I see forum's back to 2008. There seems to be no really resolution to this issue. Anyone else having these problems and or what other things have you done to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Hello Techie_girl,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with video playback in iTunes.  You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already.  I found an article with some additional steps you can take to address the issue you described.
    I recommend reviewing the following article:

  • IChat video and audio not working (yep, me too). Help? Help!? etc. :)

    I'm not here to start a rant about Apple or iChat AV. Before 10.4.4, my mate and I had some great chats on iChat AV. He had a cam attached to his Mac and I could see the video absolutely fine. We used to do audio chat, too. It worked fine.
    Now we're both on 10.4.4 and I've got a built-in iSight on my new iMac. Obviously, I want to try out some 2-way video now. It won't work for me, though.
    We can text chat, we can send files. We can't use audio chat anymore and neither can we use video. It's the old 'did not respond' problem.
    Nothing has changed in my setup, connection-wise. I've got a healthy broadband connection which is connected to a BT Voyager 250 modem. Connected to this, via ethernet, is my Airport Express.
    I've tried eliminating the Airport Express from the setup, but it makes no difference in this case.
    I don't really know a lot about port forwarding and telnet sessions, so... be gentle. Hopefully someone here can help get it working.
    Many thanks,

    HI,
    Depite some factual errors
    (it's the camera's fault your relatives are on MSN and "everyone is due a rant on the money you have spent" - not to mention the camera is at fault for the shortcomings of the applications other than iChat), it is a very nice rant.

  • Quicktime Pro 7.0.3 Streaming Video and HD not working

    How do I enable the streaming video for web sites to play in the webpage? All I see is a broken file image in the window where the movie should be playing.

    It appears you either don't have the QuickTime plug-in installed or it is turned off.
    The page worked fine for me.
    Your version of Internet Explorer is showing an "image" placeholder and, obviously, QuickTime is a .mov file.
    http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/missionimpossible_3/mission_impossible_3-tlr1h.640.mov
    Open QT Player, Open URL (File menu) and paste the link above. If it plays QuickTime works. Paste the URL in a different browser and see if it works. If it does then the QT plug-in works which means the issue is with IE.
    I would throw IE off my PC and get a real browser.

  • Ichat video and audio not working

    They used to work just fine. Have no idea what is going on. I get the error 8 that every one around here is talking about. I've tried the suggestions of bandwidth, firewall etc. Don't know what else to do.

    Hi,
    Error 8 is about either Ports or the Way the LAN is set up.
    SO has anything changed in the way you have set up your LAN ?
    Also are you using a Routing device that gives the computer it's IP (DHCP) ?
    If so do you also use Port Forwarding to open the ports for iChat ?
    If this is the case is the computer at the IP that the Port Forwarding points to ?

  • My video recording sounds not working but other sounds are working fine, I've tried clearing the little mic thing near my earphone hole and had no success can someone please help me out?

    hhi guys
    my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?

    Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.
