HT204266 I've lost facetime and my camera

If lost my camera and face time on my iPad. I can't find it in my settings or in my searches. Could you please tell me how I can Retrieve it?

If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera (and possibly FaceTime) being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How can I use my TV as a display for FaceTime and the camera of my MacBook when connecting it to the TV via HDMI?

I can connect my MacBook to my TV via HDMI and when I FaceTime everything works normally except I would like the display for the MacBook to be turned off so I can see video only on my TV. Closing the lid is not an option since I am using the MacBook's camera to FaceTime. Is there any way to achieve this?

Not that I could find.
The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.

Front and rear cameras not working since i reformatted ipad mini. updated version. checked settings could not find how to activate camera. no icon appears.

i've searched and searched but could not find any answer why front and rear camera's aren't working.
i did a reformat because my id would not accept the password that i've been using. then after the reformat i could not see the icon anymore.
went to settings under photos and camera and could not find a button for the camera.
i do not have facetime. it's gone as well. what do i do?

Look under settings, general, restrictions and see if facetime and the camera have been turned off.

Facetime and Imessage stopped working

Hi guys,
Sorry to bombard you with another Imessage/Facetime problem. So bascially a few nights ago, both these functions stopped working. I have tried all that is to be done from the other threads but still no luck. However my account that is also linked with my phone is working fine, it only appears to be my Ipad that isnt working. Any tips on how to fix this problem?
Thanks heaps!

OK so I just played around with it and realised that my Wifi was the problem. I hotspotted my iPad and the facetime and imessage came back instantly. So now this poses a new question, my wifi connection bar says its connected, and yes it is, working fine for normal browsing, youtube etc... However when it comes to my iMessage and Facetime, it doesnt connect.
So is there a way for me to to fix this?
Regards

Problem with Facetime and my MacBookPro camera

Hello,
I've got a MacBookPro and I have a problem with Facetime and my front camera.
When I have a discussion with an iMac or an other MacBook the image received by the other person becomes fix.
To unfix it I have to put my finger on my camera and then everything is good until the next time, 4 to 10 seconds later I've got the problem again.
Perhaps somebody can help me.
My head on my screen is always good even when the bug appear on my correspondent's screen.
For information, the 2 mac have the same iOS version (OSX Lion) and Facetime version.

Hi Dave,
Edit: Well, I guess I was lost when I posted this. My answer was regarding a problem with OS X, not iOS. I'm going to leave the answer here in case someone else with a Facetime for Mac issue can benefit, because when you're searching for "Facetime AND Login", you could land in any discussion area. -Jerry
Keychain Access.app is in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
The path will be: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
Keychain is where all your passwords are stored for those applications that you don't want to have to manually log into all the time.
It's a handy app to become familiar with, for instance if you want to look up a password or user name from the past.
Hope this helps you.

My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
Good luck

How to format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic.

Went to use Facetime and my MB Pro said there was no camera available.

Hi, I tried to use Face Time and my MBPro said there was no camera available. Same thing happened when I tried to use Photo Booth. Any ideas?
Thanks.

FaceTime and Photo Booth both require the built in iSight camera.

I upgraded to IOS7 and lost the services of facetime and imessage

I upgraded to IOS 7 and in the proceses I lost the services of facetime and imessage on my IPad.
as I keep getting the message that I am not connected to the net .

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I need to create a new admin account. But i lost the cd it came with and forgot my password. also can a cd be replaced

I need to create a new admin account. but i lost the cd that came with the macbook, and forgot my password. also can the cd be replaced.

You can purchase replacement discs from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
You can try the following to reset the password without the DVD:
How to change your username and/or password from the Terminal
1. Boot into single-user or verbose mode
2. At the prompt enter the following commands. Press RETURN after each:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Replace username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
reboot
This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media. The above tip is attributed to Satcomer.

Updated iOS on my iPad 2 and lost FaceTime.

Updated iOS on my iPad 2 and lost FaceTime. No icon, nothing in a search, nothing in settings. What should I do to get it back?

First I would try a soft reset by holding the Home Button and the Wake/Sleep button until the apple logo appears.
That often works when things go crazy.
or
Assuming you backed up your iPad just before updating, you could always restore to the previous state it was in.

Facetime and external firewire iSight camera

Hi,
I bought Facetime yesterday. When I start it, it says that there is no camera. I turn on my iSight, nothing happens.
I close Facetime, turn on my iSight, then start Facetime: instant crash.
So, basically, Facetime doesn't work for me. Anybody experienced something similar? Any idea?
My external iSight camera is version 1.0.3.
I run OS X 10.6.6 on my Mac Pro 1.1.

Because you "turn on" your iSight, you must be using your external.
Test your external iSight with other apps using the suggestions here:
http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
*If external iSight doesn't work with any app*, try creating a new user account and test there.
*If external iSight doesn't work with anything in any user account*, it may be repairable. If you don't have local access to an Apple Service Technician, other options are shown here:
http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
*If your external iSight is not economically repairable*, you may want to consider a new camera. Several alternatives are included in the discussion here:
http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/
*If your iSight works with apps* (QT, iMovie, iChat, Photo Booth, etc.) *other than FaceTime*, you may merely need to restart the Mac, repair permissions, and reinstall FaceTime.
So, basically, Facetime doesn't work for me. Anybody experienced something similar?
Not I.
Any idea? ...
Several. You do not say which display you use. As shown in this image using my Mac Pro and LED Cinema Display:
when your Mac recognizes more than one camera, you can select the one you want by clicking the appropriate item in the FaceTime > Video menu item.
(1) *If either camera works*, your FaceTime software is working.
(2) *If you have only one webcam that can connect to your Mac Pro*, try resetting the FaceTime preferences. If you need help, here is how:
• Restart Mac
• Navigate to the "com.apple.FaceTime.plist" file in your Home ( ) > Library > Preferences folder.
(Be sure you are in the "Home" Folder preferences folder, not your System's.)
• Move the "com.apple.FaceTime.plist" file to Trash
• Connect external iSight, launch FaceTime, and test again.
(3) *If the FaceTime problem persists,* apply the 10.6.6 Combo Update as follows:
• Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
• Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
• Download and install http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
• Test FaceTime again
(• Turn Time Machine on again when you are satisfied that the Combo update worked.)
(4) *If FaceTime still does not work on your Mac Pro*, test with your other Mac. Leave external iSight disconnected from your MacBook Pro and test FaceTime using its inbuilt iSight. If FaceTime works on your MBP with its inbuilt iSight, you know that the software you downloaded is good.
(5) *If you’re new FaceTime doesn't work with either of your Macs*, click "Support" in the App Store Quick Links (upper right quadrant) section and ask if you should download another copy to test whether the one you have is bad.

My FaceTime and camera icon got deleted from my iPad mini....is there away to get them back?

Default Apps like Facetime and Camera cannot be deleted. check other home screens and folders.
Also check Settings->General->Restrictions->Facetime and Camerai and make sure they are not turned off.

When open FaceTime and photo booth ,it shows no camera connection

when open FaceTime and photo booth ,it shows no camera connection

As just said there is no built in camera in the mac pro, so just what kind of "built in" camera are you talking about? Apple's 27" LED "built-in" camara?
