My built in webcam has stopped working on Skype following an update. Does this mean my macbook air has blocked videochat on skype? How can I fix this problem?

See this thread:

FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

How to use HP Mini's built-in webcam in Windows 7?

I have a new HP Mini 5101 netbook. It came with a built-in webcam. Yay! It also came with Windows 7 Starter. Ugh!
How do I get it to access the built-in webcam? In Windows XP, you'd just go to My Computer, and there was a camera icon right there. You'd double-click it, and the camera would start operating. I can't find any similar feature for Windows 7, I can't find any topic in the HP Help for using the web cam, and there's nothing listed in the support topics for accessing the camera in the HP Mini support section.
The camera is recognized in Device Manager, so I know it's not a driver issue. I just don't see where I'm supposed to click to access the webcam.
Someone must have come across this. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Dorgem has been discontinued so I think you'll have to go with MSN live messenger.

I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8, with built in webcam and mic. Recently none of my systems recognise/detect the camera/audio. Am not sure how this happened but am hoping to reset somehow to fix. Any help/ suggestions how to do this is greatly appreciated!

How to use built-in webcam for Skype?

How does one use the built-in webcam online? My iMac's webcam can be accessed through Photo Booth, but only, it appears, to take photos or brief movies. I've searched this forum, but don't find how one can use the webcam online such as in Skype. A program called iSight is mentioned in several posts, but my year-old iMac doesn't have that program. Any clues on how to use the camera beyond Photo Booth? Many thanks.

HI Bob,
You can use Skype with your iMac and iSight.
Go here, download Skype
The Skype application will be installed to your Applications folder. Launch Skype. You will need to create a username and password. Once you have logged into Skype from the Menu Bar at the top of your screen click Skype/Preferences and selec the Video tab. Click the pop up menu where you see: Camera and select: Built-in iSight
More about using Skype here.

My laptop has a webcam but no built in webcam app.

I have to use a crappy software to take pictures. How do I fix this? I need a webcam app that has a timer and I was hoping that there'd a be built in webcam app on my laptop that would do the trick. But there's no app in the first place.
Help.

Hi,
Unless you've removed it, the webcam software should hae a software/app called CyberLink Youcam. You can dwnload from the following link and install on your computer again:

My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen!

My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen. How can I fix this???

Let me explain more - when I use skype for example, my image is displayed in a horizontal split screen. I have tried another chat product and the same thing happens - so it must be something to do with the built in camera or configuration of the camera. Would it be best to contact Apple about this? Will somebody have to get a spanner out to fix my quite new macbook pro? (3 months old). I teach languages online so I really depend on a decent image. Can anybody help me?

My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam

My built-in webcam is not being detected by CyberLink Youcam (webcam) Pavilion dv6-6c10us

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue with the webcam in the notebook. If you could, please check and see if the webcam is listed in the device manager. If you don't know how to check for that, you can follow step 1.
Now, if you can't seem to find it listed in the device manager it could be that the webcam may have become unplugged internally and requires service. It could be a faulty webcam module which is not been recognized. I suspect you might have to send the Notebook in for a warranty repair to get it fixed. Now, if that's the case after following the steps below you will need to call HP@8004746836 and see what options they have to replace or repair the notebook.
Also, you can follow these steps to try and resolve the issue.
Steps:
Please follow this document which will guide you through a couple of steps on how to resolve this issue you're having.
The document should something like this:
First, try this steps that's circled.
If the first steps doesn't seem to resolve the issue go ahead and follow the next step below.
The first section "Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, etc.)" will guide you through a couple of trouble shooting steps to get the webcam to work within these programs.
If the first step doesn't resolve the issue please go to step #2 "Reinstalling the original webcam program that came with your computer”. This section will guide you through recovering the webcam software and drivers. This is the most important steps in the document if nothing before this resolves the issue.
It should look something like this:
Once you have finished both steps please let me know the outcome. If you have any more questions please ask.

Presario CQ 71 - Built in Webcam not detected under Windows 7 Professional - No HP-101 device

I have a Compaq Presario CQ 71 EB400. On this notebook I run both Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits and Windows 7 Professional 64-bits to compare behaviour of apps and windows features in both environments.
Windows 7 Home on my HD C partition
Windows 7 Professional on my HD F partition.
The CQ 71 has a built in Webcam, that shows up under Windows 7 Home premium Device Manager - Imaging Devices (Cameras and Scanners) as HP-101, linked to the required drivers.
Under Windows 7 Home premium:
- The built-in CQ 71 Webcam is detected and operational - the HP-101 entry is present in Device Manager.
- Applications using a Webcam like Skype, Mycam, Manycom etc connect with the Webcam
- When I plug in an external Webcam, thet webcam is detected as well, drivers loaded etc.
Under Windows 7 Professional:
- The built in Webcam is not detected, in the Device Manager -Imaging Devices, the HP-101 Webcam entry is absent
- Skype, Mycam, Manycam cannot find a Webcam (also not when an external USB Webcam is plugged in)
- A plugged in external Web cam is not detected as an imaging device.
I use a Brother printer/scanner/fax machine, the Brother scanner device is visible as Imaging device in Device manager in both Windows 7 Home premium and Windows 7 Professional.
Other USB devices, portable disks, card readers etc seem to work OK in both Windows 7 environments.
The HP support pages provide information what to do when a internal Webcam is not detected; The recommended actions make no difference. Going back to a previous W7 Prof restore point is no option, as on the CQ 71 notebook the built-in Webcam never functioned under W7 Professional.
The major difference is that all Windows 7 Home Premium relatede system software resides on the C partition, all Windows 7 Professional system software on the F partition.
I'm looking for a way to kickstart the built in CQ 71 Webcam under Windows 7 Professional installed on a non-standard partition.
Your suggestions will be very welcome.
Jan Dijckmeester.

Hi again jdij,
It is good to hear back from you!
To enable your system to detect the Webcam in Windows 7, I recommend re-installing the original drivers and software that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update the newly installed software, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
If the webcam is still not detected, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

With Windows 7 or 8 on my 2710p (built in webcam), the camera driver says "HP Webcam not found"

I had the webcam running on my 2710p with Windows 7 for quite a while, but after I plugged in an external webcam once (I think it was Microsoft branded), it's almost as if my built in webcam dissappeared. I tried formatting the computer to Windows 7 and now Windows 8 (both 32bit), hoping it that a fresh install would fix the issue, but when I try and install the sonix webcam driver from the hp drivers page for the 2710p (using W7 Home Premium 32bit drivers), it says "The HP Webcam has not found! Please plug in the HP webcam and then run installation again." The only unknown device in my device manager is the PCI controller, which I don't really care for.
What's going on here? I'm pretty tech literate but I'm kind of stumped here.
This question was solved.

Webcams are fragile and I suspect yours has died. I think the fact that it happened while you were using an external webcam is coincidence.

MacBook Pro's built-in webcam compatibility with other websites?

Okay, excuse this seemingly vain and unimportant question, but I just got my MacBook Pro today and am so lost. Anyway, I was looking to take pictures with the built in webcam, just not necessarily in Photo Booth. I frequently use facebook and dailybooth.com
I tried using dailybooth and the area where you can usually see yourself was completely black and offered no options for like selecting a webcam. Taking a display picture on facebook said I needed to download flash player. Which I did. But now it continuously still tells me to download flash player.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone who uses a MacBook pro uses their webcam to take pictures of themselves (vain sounding I know!) on other websites and if you can tell me how.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can use Photobooth as a go between. Most such websites, including Facebook will load pictures off your computer. Photobooth allows you to drag pictures from its capture bottom bar onto the desktop for reuse elsewhere on your computer.

How do I know if my webcam on my Macbook Pro is hacked?

how do I know if my webcam on my Macbook Pro is hacked?
I am a little worried, because sometime the green light "lights" when I don't use the webcam.
Does that mean the camera is hacked?

Not normally. However, certain Adobe Flash pages can be configured to use the video camera, and if you are visiting an Adobe Flash page that is, and you had setup the camera before on another page, it is possible the software is making a call on the camera again. Photobooth, Quicktime, iChat, Skype all speak to the camera in varying degrees. Additionally there is a built-in microphone next to the camera which may be called by any audio-input software. If you want to be secure, just put a sticky on top of the camera. I would though upgrade to 10.7.3 if you are worried about being hacked. There has been a malware that affects 10.7 through 10.7.2, and 10.6 through 10.6.7, and 10.5.7 and earlier: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
