If your having an issue with the camera on your iPhone try cleaning the lens, if the problem continues try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Turn on the Firewall.
System Preferences > Security > Firewall > Click the Lock and unlock everything > turn on firewall.
The firewall on macs blocks incoming connections. Here's more info about firewalls. http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=224
Little Snitch is a good application that can block incoming and out going connections.
Make sure that screen sharing etc. is off
System Preferences > Sharing > Uncheck everything there unless you need it.

ISight and Firewire Audio Devices

I am having issues with my Firewire audio devices and my iSight camara. If I am using my external Firewire audio device (Firewire 800) I get errors on my audio device and somethimes the iSight camara. If on plug in one of the devices things seem to run ok. I have a recording studio and work with other studios on line. Is there any fix for this....

If you have not already done so, send your concerns directly to Apple via iChat Feedback.
(If you have other suggestions/comments for Apple, use Product Feedback for the product most closely related to your concerns.)
You will not get a response by using "Feedback", but at least you can be certain that Apple will see your comments for consideration in future products or updates.

FireWire no longer works after 10.4.8 update

I used the Software update (after repairing disk permissions) and without any USB/FireWire units connected to my PowerBook G4 17". The update seemed to work fine until I connected my LaCie FireWire disks. The disks powers up, but they won't mount in Finder and they can't be found in Disk Utility. None of the FireWire connections (400 & 800) can be used for any of my disks, nor for my iSight camara.
I have cleaned caches, repaired permissions and updated with the combo updater, but so far with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Hello
Try disconnecting all external peripherals, then shutdown your Mac, pull out all power cord, if it is a portable, take out the battery and leave it as it is for at least 5 minutes... 15 mins best.
Then power back your mac and see if the FW ports are working

IMovie & iSight - can't record longer than 15 minutes?

Hi there,
I'm just curious to see if anyone can help me with the problems I'm having using iMovie and iSight. Basically, I'm trying to record a series of 2-hour lectures at my uni and am using the iSight as a firewire camera to record from into iMovie. However, every 15-20 minutes, iMovie stops recording and shows a blue screen with the message 'No Camera Attached'. I then have to start recording again, and wait another 15 minutes before the same thing occurs. This is very annoying! I have over 60 gigs of free HD space, so that shouldn't be an issue - hence, can anyone advise me what the problem might be?
BTW - I did do a search on this topic, but the only thread or relevance I could find...
Walt on line, "Making hour-long iMovie HD videos with iSight", 02:25pm Oct 20, 2005 CDT
...wasn't much help and itself pointed to a thread that has been deleted.
Is it simply a case that long movies can't be recorded in iMovie whatever the input (not just the iSight)? If so, I'd be grateful for any advice as it might save me the money spent purchasing a cheap videocam. Also, I'm aware that I can record for a seemingly unlimited time in Quicktime Pro, but the quality is not as good as with iMovie which I'd obviously prefer.
My set-up: PowerBook 15" 1.67ghz (rev.c), 80gb, 2gb RAM, Tiger 10.4.3, iMovie 5.0.2, iSight (rev.b)
Many thanks for any assistance with this!

We are having the same problem at my office. I have 5 iSights/5 computers all have been recording short interviews 15 minutes or less and now two of them have decided to stop one just freezes the other gets the blue screen.
I have deleted preferences, repaired permissions doesn't seem to work. Camara works fine on another computer. So it is something to do with iMovie or a preference I am not finding??
Thank you,
Angie

My built in Camara/Video has a Image Distortion

Is there a way to fix the built in Camara/Video Image Distortion without sending for repairment? It could also be the software of the built in camara.

Can you post an example?
One man's "distortion", is another man's "nature of the beast".
Many have compared the inherent lower quality of the "FaceTime" camera on the MBA, to that of the iSight Camera on the rest of the Mac line, as being unacceptable. Right or wrong, Apple has been conservative in describing the MBA's FaceTime camera capabilities, so as to no generate too high of expectations.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight 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. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

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. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

Trouble with built in iSight macbook C2D late 2006

I´ve resetted my smc on my macbook, nothing happens, I´ve the same problem, "there is no cam" photobooth answered, but my systemprofiler shows the builtin isight, with win xp on my bootcamp partition it works, but only win-like. Later I´ve made the pram-reset, always the same problem, it works only on windows xp, what should I do?
Installed Software: bootcamp 1.2beta, Adobe Premiere CS3beta, Soundbooth CS3beta, Device Central CS3beta, Bridge CS3, Photoshop CS, macromedia studio mx, Avid free DV, Blender 2.42, Adobe GoLive CS, toast 6.11 and some programs for videoconversion.
I´ve not installed: I-apps, live imovie, idvd, only itunes.
For chatting: meetro. My macbook was in january 07 at an Apple-Authorized Service Provider, cause the motherboard was damaged, I´ve got a new one, but the problem with the cam, began in june 07, after some softwareupdates from apple. (I think) I´m repairing my permissions once per week, but nothing happens. I´ve read in some german forums, I must make a new installation of my tiger and then the problems are away? Howlong?

Your new post is a good one, alex.
(For other readers, this post is a follow-on to alex's first post at
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4973191#4973191)
Sorry your problem is not fixed.
Although it is unusual to need more than one hardware fix, I think you will need help from an Apple-Authorized Service Provider again.
However, if you want to try reinstalling your Mac OS as recommended in the other forum, my suggestions on how to do that are in this Reinstalling Mac OS X link. As explained in that linked page, how long the update takes will depend on which update method you choose.
As soon as you restart your Mac after the reinstall, repair permissions and apply the Combo Update. The Combo will update your MacBook to the latest version of Tiger in one step. Remember to repair permissions again as soon as you restart after applying the Combo Updater.
This post by Stewart Holmes suggests that taking out the battery and leaving your MacBook unplugged for a longer time than you tried previously might be worth a try:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1052278
My only remaining suggestion is that you contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service. I have no other ideas.
Anybody else have help for alex ... ?

Isight drivers for WIndows 7 - not working?

Hi,
Have a new IMac and am trying to get Isight working in a Parallels Windows 7 VM environment.
Isight works fine in Mac OS (Skye, Oovoo, etc).
Tried to install the drivers from the Mac OS disk (appleisightinstaller.exe) and they appear to be installed okay.
BUT, while the device exists, I cant see any picture or when I click on settings get no settings to change. Additionally, the Isight led on the device never comes on.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I should do.
I have tried:
1. De-installing the driver and reinstalling
2. Have edited the registry in Windows to delete all references
The reason I would like to get this working is I am trying to use Polycom PVX video conferencing software (I need it for work) and so my idea was to run it in a Parallels VM as its only available for Windows.
Hope you can help
Cheers

Welcome to Discussions, Dave (dwinpenny)
I don't use Windows®, but here are a couple things to consider if you have not already done so and do not get better help here.
(1) Does this help you? http://kb.parallels.com/5028
(2) Consider XMeeting as a possible OSX alternative for connecting to your work's Polycom system:

IMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized in Yosemite

On this page
http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS2472
iMovie '08: Built-in iSight camera not recognized
it says:
In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
Select the file com.apple.mio.VDCAssistant.plist and delete.
Restart your system.
You should now be able to use your iSight camera with iMovie.
However, in Yosemite, it only has this file name
com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant.plist
and I don't want to delete it as instructed without someone who knows telling me it won't hurt my newly installed and thus far working well OS 10.10.1, with iMovie 7.1.4 on my iMac 24 inch, Early 2008, 2.8 GHz Intel Dore 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It worked with Leopard, and I don't recall having to use the above mentioned support page.

Contact Apple. I believe you have a hardware issue there if it's not showing up in your System profiler.

Unable to record just audio with Mac Mini - no isight

I am trying to use Podcast Capture on a mac mini connected to a generic monitor (no isight) and it is unable to initialize the audio subsystem. I am assuming this has to do with it needing a video camera, but surely that isn't required to record an audio only podcast. I have a microphone plugged into the line in and it works successfully in Garageband. Please help!

Take a look at Soundflower, which will allow you to record audio from any source:

Can't capture video using iSight camera in QuickTime 7.4 (92)

OK, I see that there are plenty of "bugs" with Quicktime Version 7.4 (92), but I don't see the problem I am having, posted anywhere. Here goes...
I cannot capture video using my [Firewire] iSight camera on my CoreDuo MacMini. I definitely used to be able to do this. When I go to File>New Movie Recording, I get a back/blank Movie Recording window and that's it. I click on the Red/Record button and nothing happens. The timer doesn't even advance. Just sits there. When I try to stop the recording, I get the following message:
*"Recording failed because no data was received.*
*Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing."*
I can still capture audio, although had some problems and had to "downgrade" to version 7.3.x and subsequently reinstalled 7.4. Now the audio works but still no video.
A few things:
1. YES, the iSight camera works - I can use it in iMovie, iChat, Photobooth, etc. - for both video and audio.
2. As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video.
3. I re-installed Version 7.4 and the audio problems cleared up, but again, still unable to capture video.
3. All software updates installed.
Any ideas???
Thanks!

"As I mentioned, I tried "downgrading" (using "Pacifist") but still no video."
See QuickTimeKirk’s posting in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1357579&tstart=0
Try the following:
Trash com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
It's located in your account:
HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
Delete the file, restart (a new .plist will be created) and quicktime hopefully will work again w/o doing an Archive & Install.
+If you want to do an A&I:+
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301270 Scroll down to "Archive and Install”
IMPORTANT: Maker sure you select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I?
Good luck!

If you're expecting Apple to respond on this forum, you will have a long wait. This is a user-to-user technical support forum that is only hosted by Apple. This was made clear when you signed up. In any case, try the steps in this article to troubleshoot hardware issues (there is a camera section):
