• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and
    try again. If the iSight still does not work, continue.
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (are you certain that you
   used the correct "reset" procedure?), yours is most likely a
   hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
   Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
• If you want to try one more thing on your own first,
use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then
download and apply the latest Combo Update for
your OS. Currently, the latest SL Combo is here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of iSight.

HT4528 A song I purchased shows up in iTunes, but will not show up on my iPhone. When the phone is plugged into the computer, iTunes shows that it is on my iPhone, but it is not. How do I get that song to show up on my iPhone?

I have the same problem and it only affects the one song, everything else syncs

Airport extreme will only get or send e-mail messages, or allow Safari to function for about 5 minutes. After that it doesn't respond even though the green light is on and diagnostics says there is nothing wrong. Have to unplug again to get a response.

For the past 2 days Airport Extreme works for about 5 minutes and then will not receive or send e-mail messages, or let Safari work. The only way I can send or receive is to unplug Airport Extreme for a few seconds, reconnect and then work frantically for 5 minutes before it does the same thing. The green light stays on and the diagnostics tells me nothing is wrong even though no mail is moving.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello All,
My problem has just been resolved.
I downloaded the OnyX and run the 'automation'.
After OnyX completed the test I shut down the machine and the web cam turned back operational when I turn on the PC.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Green light next to camera is on.

green light next to camera is on. how to I turn off?

It would usually indicate that an application is occupying the camera. Check in Activity Monitor to see if you are running any background application that might be using the camera.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore. Have you tried these?
Have you read the manual?

How to Turn Camera, Including the Green Light, Off When Finished Using It?

Just used the integrated camera to take a picture, but can't figure out how to make the green light go off.

I purchased rechargeable batteries - they are more to begin with, but over time, they are a much better and less expensive choice. This from Apple:
If you won’t be using your Bluetooth device for an extended period, turn it off to maximize battery life. To turn it off, use the on/off switch.

Why has my built-in camera stopped working? The green light is on, but no picture in photo booth or Skype.

I have rebooted, but to no avail. The green light stayed on right through the reboot.

Glad all is sorted. It's very normal for your Mac to get quite warm, especially when used intensly for a long period of time. If the room temperature is very warm, it's well worth switching off or putting it to sleep whenever you can.
Believe it or not, it gets very warm here in the UK once in a blue moon & when it does, I try to keep the room temperature as cool as I can.
Best wishes
Ben

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

My ichat video chat isnt working. the green light will come but there is no invatation

hi
i need help!

Hi,
In the iChat Preferences (iChat menu > Preferences > Alerts) you can set a Global Auto Accept (or Decline)
You change the top Down down to be the Invite to be accepted.
You tick the AppleScripts box and then select the Auto Accept in the drop down (my pic shows other Scripts I use)
You can set any Alert for one Buddy only ("Against a Buddy" as I phrased it earlier)
Highlight a Buddy then do the Get Info keystrokes (CMD + i keys together)
Select Alerts in the panel that appears.
I was asking the Original Poster if they had these set as I cannot think why the green Light would come on but not show the Invite without this set.
The Light does tend to come on as the Invite arrives so it is not the only criteria to look for.
MacBook Pro 4 days old probably mean iChat 6
This means that for any AIM Valid Login it will use port 443
This port is also used by web Browsers for Secure site (Like Logging in here an Apple Discussions) and by some Mail Servers.
It is below the threshold port of 1024 which means it will be open in your routing device.
The iChat Connection Process works across several ports.
The Invite is sent on port 5678 (you can send stuff out through the Mac Firewall and the router without opening ports specifically for this)
iChat then moves to port 16402 as first choice to send an SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) invite to the IP the Visible part of the invite went to.
It is the Buddy's "Reply" (the SIP part) to this that needs to get through your router and to your iChat.
So... First check the System Preferences > Security > Firewall
If On then go to the Advanced Button (You may need to unlock the Padlock)
In this bit you need to have the "Allow Signed Software" to be enabled and for iChat to be in the list.
DO NOT enable the Stealth option (It Blocks Pings and iChat sends Pings).
IMAgent is likely to be added by the System when it is needed (it helps iChat and Face Time)
The next step is to check ichat is allowed through your router.
It will be easier if you tells us the Make and Model you are using.
If you know how to access it in a Web Browser you could make sure it is doing UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

My wireless key board doesn't seem to communication with my computer even though bluetooth shows it is connected. I have changed the batteries on the keyboard and when turn on the key board the green lights comes on shortly and disappears.How to fix ?

Hey Annar99,
I found a few articles that might help with the issue you're encountering. These first two are if the Bluetooth keyboard you're using is the one that came with your iMac. The first is a general "how to" for setting up your Apple Wireless keyboard, while the second one is for troubleshooting if the advice in the first article isn't working:
Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1809
Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3048
If, on the other hand, you're using a third party keyboard, then I would take a look at the following article's troubleshooting section:
Bluetooth Quick Assist
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1153#Tips
Hope that helps,
David

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.

QUOTE: "No green light. Computer turn on."
What? so were you able to turn on the computer with the new plug? does it give you any other light? amber/orange light?

My mac's keyboard is not working with my mac.the green light blinks and i cannot get onto my mac. everything on the support questions does not help because i cant go on the mac and i cant sign in

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.
