HT2090 iSight not working neither after resetting SMC? What other to do?

Hello,
I don't know how to solve this problem with my builtin iSight camera on a MacBook.
I tried several times resetting the SMC and at the begginning it worked, but lately
this procedure is giving no results any more. I checked the System Profiler and under
the USB section I can see the builtin iSight camera displayed, but still no application
can use the camera - for eg. Image Capture says 'no camera connected'!
What is left to do?
Regards

• 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.

My keyboard backlight not working even after resetting smc nd nvram, this problem was encountered after i upgraded my memory.

Does the keyboard backlighting if you reinstall the original RAM?
Perhaps you inadvertently disconnected a cable when you installed the new RAM. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar may be a good option.

my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT2090 iSight Not Working? W/Skype and PhotoBooth

Hello All,
My iSight camera isn't working with Skype, or PhotoBooth. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The only time I can get the camera to work is after resetting the SMC. The camera will work for a skype session, but then the next time I go to skype, it does not work, and I have to reset the SMC all over again to make it work.
Does anyone have any fixes?
Thanks,
-G

(0) Your problem might be a bad Skype install.
Reinstall the latest Skype version that is compatible with your Mac OS.
If the problem persists, consider the following:
(1) When you tried Apple's suggestions, IF, in EVERY user account you tested, the Apple apps also exhibited the problem (i.e., start an Apple app session, quit that app, and try an Apple app again BEFORE you launch Skype,) your Mac OS software may be damaged.
Properly applying the latest COMBO update for your Mac OS can sometimes correct software problems. Here is how I do it:
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
   download and apply the latest Combo Update, for your Mac OS,
   the current one is at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1400
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
If the COMBO update did not resolve your problem, reinstall Mac OS X. Then apply the Combo Update again before testing your iSight's operation.
If your problem continues after proper reinstall, make a current backup, and then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
(2) When you tried Apple's suggestions, IF, in EVERY user account you tested, your problem ONLY occurs after you have launched Skype, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.
Start here: https://support.skype.com/
You can also search or post for help with your problem in Skype's dedicated Skype Discussions for Mac. The Skype users who post there may have already solved the same problem.
If no other Skype help works, you can sign in and ask for email help directly from Skype's Technical Support people.

All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes.
The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!

HT3964 USB port not working even after resetting the SMC and PRAM, what can I do now?

Hi All,
I've got the "USB port draining too much energy" error message a couple of weeks ago and since then I've tried many times to reset the PRAM and SMC but still, one of my USB port is not working.
Could anyone please tell what I can do next ??
Thanks a lot

If you live near an apple store make an appointment. They will perform a DFU restore using known good equipment.
If that doesn't work you probably have liquid damage.

My 3G sim is not working even after resetting and updating apn

I am disappointed with ios6 it has caused problems for my ipad connectivity .even after resetting apn ,network setting it is not connecting and showing 3G icon rather it shows E and speed is dead slow pls provide help at my email

The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1. Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

Try to remove the Weave folder in the Firefox profile folder and delete the prefs.js file to reset all prefs and maybe also delete the compatibility.ini file to reinitialize the profile.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Why do my ebooks not work anymore after resetting my computer?

i formated my computer, since then my ebooks cannot be opened. The error that shows is: E_lic_already_fulfilled_by_another_user
i only have one Adobe-ID and my Digital Edition is authorized with it.
i contacted my ebook provider and they say they cannot reset the ebooks. They also told me, that it is possible, that i did not register with Adobe before i got the first ebooks and that adobe, in that case, creatse an account for my computer, i do not know anything about?
I defenetly remember that my DE was already authorized with my current adobe-id and that all my ebooks worked fine before resetting my computer.
What am i to do? Is it possible for adobe to connect this mysterious Account (if it does exist) with my current ID?
i would be very thankful, if anybody knows what i can do!

Lion internet sharing/ audio output not working even after reading through/ following other threads

Hi, since updatig to Lion my iMac internet sharing is not working i have renamed to a shorter name as advised in other threads but this still does't work I wish to share my ethernet connection wirelessly but after turning it on i can never get the arrow symbol on the top bar. Also i can only play audio through the built in speakers but no headphones/external speakers even after playing with the audio midi settings as seen in other posts but no such luck.

First, see if you can change the "Play audio using:" selection in Edit > Preferences > Playback - if you select Direct Audio rather than Windows Audio Session this may address the issue. Note, however, that the Direct Audio option seems to be unavailable in some cases for Windows 8.1.
Otherwise, there is an alternative downloader for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
After installing this alternative version it may still be necessary to adjust the "Play audio using:" selection in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio.

Wifi erratic on 4S after upgrading and not working even after resetting to factory setting. Why should apple isolate itself from their own product problems Matter of shame when they are not ready to communicate with the customer means they are dead.

Dear Sir/Madam Since the wifi is not coming ON how can I open this diagnostic on the iphone 4S am using and having problem with wifi behaving in erratic manner.
Am a professional engineer for projects and am 68 yrs old. At one time was looking after a production line manufacturing I C's in semiconductors manufacturing company of the US.
Have four apple products, one hp laptop and one DELL professional computer at home is used by only two members me and my wife.
Wife prefers working on ipad2 or ipad mini while traveling and has iphone 4. Am using iphone4S with laptop and Dell computer, No apple product is more than two years old.
Am having the problem in using wifi on the 4S after it was upgraded to the latest ios as per the recommendation by your software of my iphone 4S
The wifi card hangs up at it's own will and even a visit to your authorized service center in Delhi has not able to help me although they have reverted the ios back to the
one supplied with the set. Am a user and not a computer expert but it looks like the wifi card is not able to some times take the load while working which could indicate the wifi card is getting heated up.
My daughter who is Masters in 3D Animation is an ardent fan of apple products working at present in Canada was also gifted by me a 4S about 4 months back. My daughter-in-law is using iphone4 and an ipad for her professional works along with a Dell PC in the US. While my son is a fan of samsung products and does not like an apple product.
So in a family we have 7 apple products except MAC laptop/PC.
But the fact is, this problem with 4S has really shaken me up and now it seems your products are deteriorating in quality while demanding the best pricing structures.
Since this is purely the device and the software of apple problem you may please replace this set with new one as neither have any time to push you/ request you after your service centre
in Delhi told me yesterday this cannot be repaired.
The serial No of my set is DN*****TC0 and was bought from an authorized dealer and so were the other products from the same dealer in Delhi. This set is still in showroom condition and
was never used without a protective cover.
