Internal isight does not work in any of the applications

I rarely use my built in camera, however I recently noticed that my built in camera iSight (macbook) is not functioning with any of the applications (ichat, photobooth, skype). Dont know how to trouble shoot. Any advise please?

(1) No. What you see is normal for Mac OS X.
  Neither "USB" nor "iSight or Camera folder" should be in your "Utilities folder in Apps folder."
(2) Your Utilities folder does contain a " System Profiler " iCon. Double click it.
Your System Profiler utility will open. 
Click "USB" in the column of items under "Hardware" in the "Contents" column at the left side of the System Profiler window.
"USB Device Tree" pane will open immediately to the right of the "Contents" column.
Click on each of the USB items in the "USB Device Tree" as necessary until you find your "Built-in iSight."
If your iSight does not show under any of the USB items, your built-in iSight is not recognized by your Mac, and your Mac needs service.
I sometimes write too much. If you have difficulty understanding my wordy instructions,
see the image below. Yours System Profiler window may look somewhat different,
but the idea is shown in this image from one of my Macs:
I am a window user and I tried to look for peripherals through all the possible options similar to windows, but ...

  • Has anyone had the problem of the sound on the iPad not working on anything but the music and videos?  The sound does not work on any of the apps.

    Has anyone had a problem of not getting sounds when using apps but you can still listen to music and hear videos?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    @Jorge,
    Try using file:/// instead of file:/.
    This seems to work for me:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
        <s:VideoDisplay x="159" y="96"
                source="file:///C:/Documents and Settings/pdehaan/My Documents/My Videos/walking.flv"
                loop="true"
                width="384" height="267"/>
    </s:Application>
    But I'd probably recommend copying the .FLV file into your Builder project or putting it online instead of trying to play it back from a hardcoded file:/// path.

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips.

  • Recently installed Windows 7 on Pavilion dv6748us - internal microphone does not work

    I have been searching the web extensively, without success, to find how to resolve this issue.
    I recently installed Windows 7, 32 bit, on my wife's HP Pavilion dv6748us laptop. Now her internal microphone does not work.
    Have gotten some "roadside" advice to use a Windows Vista driver; Have no idea what the driver is or how to get it.
    Have found some information about uninstalling realtek audio driver and reinstalling an older version; Have no idea on this one either.
    Would really appreciate a definitive answer with a positive result.
    Thanks for all help.
    The drivers for the laptop are located here. select Vista and Driver-audio. The Vista driver should work.  You can uninstall the driver from within the Device manager. Start --> type devmgmt.msc and the device manager will open. Locate the HD audio device and right-click it and update the driver.
    After that is done go to Control Panel and Sound and the recording tab up top.  Check to see if the microphone is grayed out. (not grayed out means driver is properly installed). The microphone should also have a green checkmark next to it.  It is now a matter of selecting the microphone then selecting Properties to enable the microphone and then  test and adjust the input level. Look at the tabs (listen,levels and advanced).
    Had you considered trying Windows update or the Realtec website as a drivers source?

    Hi:
    Looking at your system information you could have one of two possible audio cards:
    Conexant HD audio or the RealTek HD Audio
    The fact that you couldn't install the RealTek HD audio driver indicates to me that you don't have a RealTek audio card. Check your device manager and look at your sound card and check to make sure which audio card you have.
    Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Conexant audio card:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    Here is the Vista 32 bit driver for the Realtek audio card:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
    If you in fact have the Realtek audio card, I would download and install the latest, greatest HD driver directly from the RealTek site:
    Accept the agreement, download and install the first one on the list. Maybe it has been updated to fix the issue you are experiencing.

    As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
    Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

  • The T61 internal mic does not work when docked

    The internal mic does not work when docked. However works fine when undocked.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I go this issue very recently. What I did to solve the problem was probably mentioned before somwehre over the web.
    First of all, I degraded Skype from the latest version to skype 6.1.0.129. Then I went in Skype - Tools - Option - Advanced Settings - Automatic Updates and click "Turn off automatic updates" and Save. I closed (Quit Skype) Skype then.  
    I clicked on Start (in toolbar) and in search area typed Device Meneger. Then in Sound Video and game controlers, highlite and right click on mouse on IDT High Definition Audio Codec and press Unistall. This will unistall IDT drivers from the system. You must restart your computer.
    Once you come back after reboot, you must go again to the Sound Video and game controlers and remove the rest part of your driver. After reboot go Sound Video and game controlers and click "Scan for hardware changes" then system find your IDT Sound Card again. Please install the latest driver (6.10.6367.0) and reboot. After reboot you should have mic working while on Skype.
