How do I get my internal camera to connect and turn on?

My internal camera is not connected and I need to know how to get my camera to turn on.  Thanks for the input.

Welcome to  Discussions, mission hills.
If you have not already done so, shut down Mac and then restart. Restarting may fix it.
If not, use shldr2thewheel's good http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions.
(BTW - 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.)
If your trouble persists, when you post back here also tell us whether your cam works to record with Apple apps like Photo Booth and QuickTime Player.  If not, verify the symptoms are EXACTLY the same in more than one user account.
Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the "Guest" account for this test.  If you do not have more than one user account for the testing, create a new one now.  If you need help, here's how to do it in your Mac OS: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468  (A "Standard" account is all you need for testing.)
We await your status update

  • Shutdown? How do I get windoze 10 to SHUT DOWN and TURN OFF?

    I have a ThinkPad T60, with an Intel T7200 CPU, 4GB memory, ATI Fire graphics, 320GB hdd. Windoze (no not a typo) 10 as the ONLY operationg system on the machine. When I shut down the computer, it does NOT fully shut down, it goes into hyper sleep mode?
    Whatever. I have NEVER in all my years of using laptops (my first was a ThinkPad 380XD with Win 95) used sleep mode or hibernate. I have found those methods of shutting down to be buggy. Windoze 10 is STILL buggy on sleep mode. Why can I NOT shut down the
    comptuer properly without doing a hard shutdown? When Windoze 10 (this is why I call it windoze) restarts from its hybrid sleep mode the computer takes more than 10 minutes to boot and load into the logon screen. This happens EVERY time I use the normal shutdown
    method of Start, clidking the little circle i button and choosing shutdown. It puts the computer to sleep. When recovering from this moronic sleep mode it seriously takes 10 minutes or more to eventually load the logon screen. I can turn the laptop on, go
    grind coffee beans, change out the Mr Coffee filter and put in fresh grind, fill the water reservoir and start the brewing process and BREW a full 12 cup pot of coffee BEFORE Windoze 10 is ready with the logon screen! I have not been able to find settings
    to select what the power button and shutdown command does. I have set the computers Power Options to NEVER SLEEP and NEVER HIBERNATE. When I shut my computer off, I want it OFF. Not going to some craptacular hybrid sleep mode that doesn't do what it's supposed
    to. Keep my drivers in stasis so the computer boots faster. BULLDUST! 10 minutes is NOT faster. I can hold the power button 4 seconds and do a hard shutdown and Windoze 10 boots and loads in less than one minute with NO error message about not shutting down
    correctly. What gives?
    My TP 380XD (yes it still runs) with 266mhz cpu and 96MB memory running Windows 2000 runs circles around Windoze 10 on the T60!
    Oh and Cortana and Bing are about the most useless search feature I've ever had the aggravation to try.

    Suspect it has "dozed" off.  Can we get your event viewer logs
    Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
    Click Start Menu
    Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
    Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator
    Expand Custom Views
    Click Administrative Events
    Right click Administrative Events
    Save all Events in Custom View As...
    Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
    Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
    Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
    Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
    If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.
     The work around is to edit the registry.  If you are not comfortable doing this DONT.  If you are, backup the key before you do
    Press Win+"R" and input regedit
    Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Channels. Delete "Microsoft-Windows-DxpTaskRingtone/Analytic"

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

    This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
    We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
    I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
    Problem:
    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
    Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera. 
    I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software. 
    Even after removing all the old software, same result:  
    I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.   
    Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.  
    Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution? 
    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome. 
    I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software. 
    I test my camera before going online.  It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.   
    When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

    Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
    if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
    any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
    disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

    Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
    I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
    solution.
    His reply is below :-
    The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
    went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
    160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
    blank screen.  Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
    adjusting the frame rate.
    I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
    might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
    Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
    to adjust the frame rate (?).
    He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
    something does the trick.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
    please jot on a note on this thread.

    You can also go to an Apple store, they won't sell you the part, but they will replace it for a fee.

  • I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and a Netgear VPN Switch for wired connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect?

    I am using an Airport Extreme for wireless and also have a Netgear VPN Switch (FV5318) for internal wired ethernet connections.  How do I get the two networks to connect to each other?

    Tesserax, I would like to keep the Airport Extreme in nplace before the Netgear FVS318 switch because I am using all of the 8 ethernet outputs distributed to 8 differerent locationsl  This way I can just use one of the LAN outputs from the Airport to feed the FVS318.  Here is what I think I am hearing you say:
    Tne reason why the wired and wireless devices are not communicating is because the FVS318G is also a DHCP server and in conflict with the AEBS.
    To remedy the situastion here is probably what I need to do in order:
    1. Change the LAN IP Address of the Netgear FVS318G to be the same subnet of the Airport Extreme.
    2. Then, disable the Netgear FVS318G as a DHCP server.
    3. Make sure the ethernet cable from the LAN port of the Airport Extreme connectis to the LAN port of the Netgear FVS318G.
    4. Restart everything.
    Can you provide me the steps I need to take to get the right IP addresses from the Airport Extreme to put into the Netgear to fix the conflict?  I have the Airport Utility.  I also have two airport express hot spots, and two Apple TVs in addition to computers attached to the 8 ethernet lines.
    Thank you.

Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

    Hi there
    I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
    Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
    Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
    Good luck
