Installed Snow Leaopard and your isight doesn't work? Here's one solution

Hi,
My father in law has the white intel macbook (1,1).
After installing SL his camera worked for a bit and then with 10.6.1 caput.
Tried all possible solutions from here and other forums.
SMC didn't work.
PMU didn't work.
Re installing SL didn't work.
Clean re install didn't work.
Still said vendor specific on Profiler.
So I figured, what the ****....I can might as well try a new approach.
- I reinstalled Tiger (yet, Tiger).
Still vendor specific.
- I downloaded and installed the iSight fix found here:
http://www.codium.co.nz/isight_fix/
- Reboot and then Tiger asked to fix permissions. Yes. Reboot.
- Profiler, recognized iSight, but it said that one application was using the camera. No biggie. Disregard.
- Upgraded to SL 10.6 and still operational.
- WILL NOT upgrade to 10.6.1. Not for a few days. It was a long night and don't want to repeat it
Hope this helps someone.
Also, if you don't have Tiger, try installing 10.5.x. The isight fix patch works with anything prior to SL.
Enjoy.

I was having the same issues as everyone else, as well as having the no zoom on the camera problem.  I removed the battery while the phone was still on and put it back.  Now all my problems seem to be gone.  My Blackberry is recognized again when I go into media manager, and my zoom works.  It seems to me to be worth a try for anyone expirencing this problems.

  • .tif files wouldn't open with Reader XI. It said  they weren't supported or were damaged. I uninstalled readerXI and installed Reader DC and it still doesn't work. When I send them to another computer, they open without any problems. What can I do next?

    Reader XI would not open several files. It said .tif was not a supported file type or it was damaged. I uninstalled Reader XI and installed Reader DC with the same results. When sent to another computer, they open with no problems. What do I do next?

    The other computer must have something that opens .tif files. Adobe Reader has always only opened .pdf files.
    If you are double clicking on a .pdf and Reader is trying to open the file, you need to set your systems file associations for the proper program to open that file type.

  • Help: I installed an update and now safari doesn't work

    Thanks

    You need to update to Safari 5.1
    Safari 5.0.6 is for Leopard v10.5.8, see system requirements here > Safari 5.0.6

  • Since installing Snow Leopard and Lion two weeks ago, my iTunes program opens seemingly at will.  It usually starts playing music, too.  What is causing this?

    Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on.   It often begins playing music, as well.  What is causing this and how do I make it stop?

    There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
    Bootable backups.
    Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
    Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
    If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
    Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
    10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
    Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
    Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
    (Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
    Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
    Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
    ... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year).

  • Installing snow leaopard from the cd I have ordered

    I have a Mac book Pro from 2008
    2 weeks ago I was told that I need to get now leopard to be able to have the new safari and stuff... so I ordered my Snow leopard
    Now the cd is here.... what do I need to do? am I going to loose any of my data if I install it?
    how does it work?
    I have an external hard drive but I haven't connected it to my laptop recently.
    what happens when I start installing Snow leaopard?

    The first thing you need to do is back up your data. You need to do that anyway, whether you install SL or not.
    After you have backed up, boot from the DVD and follow the instructions. You won't lose any data as long as nothing goes wrong. If something does go wrong, you have a backup. Two backups would be better.

  • How can I install CS5 on a new/replacement laptop? I paid full price in 2011 and have the key (and it shows up in my Adobe account under products), but it was a downloaded product and I can't find a download of that version online and my key doesn't work

    Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

  • The plus sign next to my tab stopped working: when I click on it nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still doesn't work.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

    Just installed snow leopard and can't open any of my word docs?

    Depends on what you're doing; SL doesn't really support Office docs directly. In Snow Leopard, TextEdit can open Word docs, albeit with little fidelity for anything beyond text. Try iWork if you need to really work with Word docs (note that even then it's an import/export process and not native support).

  • Installed snow leopard and lost 90 percent of Address Book entries

    I just installed Snow Leopard and my Address Book now has only a very small percentage of the contacts I had. Is there any way to recover them? I'm ashamed to say I had not backed up this info. Thanks for any help!

    The metadata folder has the same number of items as the current address book (68). The other contents of the .../application support/address book file are:
    ABPerson.skIndexInverted
    ABSubscribedPerson.skIndexInverted
    AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    AddressBook.data
    AddressBook.data.previous
    Configuration.plist
    Images folder
    lastImport.plist
    MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
    Metadata folder
    Hmmm... Is the "AddressBook.data.previous" relevant here?
    Thanks for your help.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

  • My mac has10.5.8 and should be compatible with new HP officejet pro 8600.  I can't get it to install for wireless, nor to work with USB cable.  Have tried downloading HP install directly from HP and it still doesn't work.

    I just bought a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 printer.  I have been unable to download the installation for wireless connection even though have had the assistance of Costco tech, HP tech and some advice from Apple.  Because the system is MacOs 10.5.8 the error says it is incompatible, even though the product lists compatiblilty with 10.5, 10.6.   I was advised 1 option might be to obtain Snow Leopard for installation, however am somewhat reluctant as the bo states 10.5 should work and Snow Leopard is 10.6, which is also listed as compatible.  I am unable to get the printer to work even with USB cable.  Too much time spent on this and I hate to start over with another printer because I'm afraid I might have the same trouble.  Is Snow Leopard something I should get anyway?  Help!

    Snow Leopard has more compatible Java.
