Isight camera not working after the last update

After reboot of the last OS update
Isight camera not working...
i've tried photobooth, ichat, skype and it doesn't show up anywhere. in fact, when i go to system profiler, it doesn't show isight under USB connections at all.
just to give you a recap of what i've tried so far:
* restarting (obviously)
* resetting PRAM/SMC (by booting it the way it was specified in the isight troubleshooting thing)
* just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
any Help pls
because i mast to use it as soon as possible in a conference

*A few suggestions.........*
Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat
To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

Airplay is not working after the last updates

Hello,
I've updated iphone, ipad air and ipad 4 to ios 8 and apple tv 3 (1469) to newest version (7?).
After that it's absolutely a disaster.
Mostly I using the apple tv for music streaming, sometimes for mirroring...
But it can not be found, I can not select the apple tv on ios devices because it is not there!
The airplay symbol comes after swiping the menu up after approx. 1 sec and theres only the Denon Cocoon to selcet but not the apple tv.
The same on the iMac I can not choose the apple tv directly from the top bar for mirroring and not in itunes for music streaming (but the Cocoon is there), and this altough the imac is also via ethernet on the same router, no wlan connection is required for streaming in this case.
The apple tv is connected by ethernet to the router and I see in the router menu that the apple tv is connected to the internet.
I did a hard-reset but this did not help.
I've tried also with blutooth on or off and rebootet the ios devices.
From time to time one of the different devices shows the apple tv...this morning for example after I turn blutooth on at the iphone and waited 30 seconds, it was there and it worked - sometimes on device shows the apple tv without blutooth and if I connect, nothing happen and the music starts on the device itself.
If I start the apple tv via remote, everything is fine, I find it at all devices including the imac!
If I managed it to start the music streaming with an device (as written, from time to time it works) the apple tv is avaible on all other devices.
For me theres no question that theres a bug in the new apple-tv software (because I can not find it on the imac as well, otherwise I would think the bug is in ios 8).
It is not possible to wake up the apple tv via airplay from sleep mode, I think that is the problem - if I turn off the sleep mode everything is fine.

Nothing unusual in that after an update.
Generally speaking it's fairly obvious from the volume of such posts if there's a problem with an update or not. On this occasion I'm not seeing the sort of numbers that indicate a widespread issue.

My sound system is not working after my last updates on my imac,what shall i do to get fixed?

Hello any body who can help me out here?
My sound system is not working on my imac after the last updates,
WHAT SHALL I DO FOR????

apollos211,
You marked this as solved, so chances are no one else will respond.
You can try going Applications>utilities>audio MIDI set up, output tab and check to see if built in is selected.
Also check in system preferences>sound >output and see what is selected there.
If you look in the headphone port and see a red light (this means it is in digital mode), try taking a set off headphones and plugging them in and out several times also wiggle them around gently. There is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck.
Hope this helps, if still no joy try reposting so that more contributers might check it, as once checked as solved it reduces the number of people checking.
All the best

Lighting cables and adapters are not working after the last iOS 7 update.

Looking for some help from Apple here. After the last iOS 7 update, some of my lightning cables and adapters have stopped working.
I have an iPhone 5 funning iOS 7.0.2.
I have a car charger/FM RF transmitter that has worked like a charm for years. Because none of these have been made with a lighting connector, I've had a genuine Apple adapter on it since I bought my iPhone 5 a year ago. Never had a problem until the last iOS update. Now when I plug it in, not connection is registered. I've verified the charger is working by removing the adapter and plugging the old iPhone connecting into an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I've also verified the adapter is working by plugging the charger with adapter into an iPad mini running iOS 6.
I also have a Belkin USB car charger. This came with a black lighting cable. Also worked like a charm until the last update. Now, half the file when I plug it in, no conncetion is registered. The other half of the time, it says this cable is not supported but does not connect my phone or charge it. I've also verified that the cable is working by plugging it into an iPad mini running iOS 6.

I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

HT204306 My Ipad does not reboot after the last update, I tried the reset mode and that didnot work . All I get when turned on is the apple icon. Help Please?

I have and Ipad Model A1458 and serial number DMPJVX72F183 I did the last update 8.1 and since then I can not get it to work. The apple icon comes on then fades and then comes back then fades , this continues until I turn it off or the battery run died. I tried the reset but that did not work. Any suggestion?

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

ISight Camera not working after Leopard install

On my 1st gen Intel 20" iMac, after the Leopard upgrade -- which went very smoothly -- my iSight camera no longer works. I have tried it in Photo Booth and iChat Video and it is the same in each, so it is the camera, apparently, not the application using it.
In the self-viewing screen on my iMac, I see myself for just a second or so, then I fade out quickly and there is nothing to see but black. If I shine a desk lamp in my face, then I can just barely see the outline of my image but the picture is mostly black. It seems like an exposure problem: the camera seems to adjust, shutting down as though I am very brightly lit but since I am not, it produces only a black picture.
I also have a 1st gen Intel white MacBook that I have also upgraded to Leopard. The iSight camera seems to work just fine on that computer. I tried out the video in Photo Booth and it worked great.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I too am having the same problem, and I'm using the old school iSight camera and immediately after installing Leopard, it won't work. I can't even power up the camera. It will power up for about 3 seconds then power down as fast as the little green light came on. It was fine about an hour before the 10.5 install. I powered down and unplugged everything for about 10 mins. then plugged it all back in, and still not working. So I am back to the drawing board trying to sort this out. If anyone has anymore thoughts on this, pls. chime in. All the suggestions seem to work for you folks after a little tweak. I even booted into OF mode and reset-nvram and reset-all for kicks to give it an even fresher start.
thanks!

My email account will not work after the jellybean update

I had a yahoo mail account linked to the e-mail service that comes with the galaxy s3. It worked fine. Now all it does is repeatedly notify me that sign in has failed. I have retyped in the account name and password numerous times.
Also if i download the yahoo mail application it works.
Why does it not work on the default e-mail application.
I have also tried to remove the account from the phone, it does nothing when i click remove account.
HELP PLEASE!

There is a problem with Yahoo Mail and the JellyBean update (4.1.1). I updated my Galaxy S3 yesterday from Ice Cream Sandwich to JellyBean and Yahoo Mail no longer automatically notifies me when new Yahoo mail arrives (Gmail still works fine though). I have Yahoo Mail configured in the phone's email client - the shortest auto-sync period available is 1 week!
I spent the whole day trying to get the phone's built-in email client to work with Yahoo Mail like it did before the upgrade with no luck.
The only way I get my Yahoo mail is to use the separate "Y! Mail" app, from Google's App Store, and check it periodically... that's a workaround, but I miss the auto-notification I had with ICS.

External iSight Camera not working after update installed?

a couple of weeks ago I turned on iChat and up popped a window that said i needed to update the (external) iSight camera i had plugged into my minimac (firewire). followed the instructions and did just that. little greenlight glowed happily, rotated lens and opened iChat--little green light blinked off and then iChat showed that the camera was not turned on. tried turning it on and off by rotating the lens, unplugging firewire and also restarted computer...no change. looked for update to firmware and downloaded 1.0.3, only to be told it does not work with OS 10.4 (bummer).
had a back up camera, plugged that in and no problems...trouble is roomate recently got the pop-up screen when he was using it and, thinking he was doing me a favor, 'updated'...so now have 2 cameras that do not work and no answers to be found on the posts or the apple support site.
any ideas?

Welcome to Discussions, johnboysf
(1) Assuming you are not ANY having other problems with your Macs and that your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date, you can concentrate on the iSight part of your system(s).
Restart your Mac with no unnecessary peripherals connected and try the suggestions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
(2) If your iSight still does not work with any app, check for Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight.
(3) I cannot tell whether your mini is an iNtel or PPC. Apply the appropriate Combo Updater as follows if you still have the problem:
• Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
• Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
• For PPC, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC).
• For iNtel, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update v1.1 (Intel).
• Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
(4) If your problem persists after trying all of the above, the problem may be with your iSight itself. The fact that you got that notification after you had previously been using your iSight successfully under OS 10.4.x, and the fact that the updater ran for you and your roommate under OS 10.4.x, makes me think there may be something wrong with your iSights. The Tiger (10.4.x) OS includes all the necessary earlier update (including iSight Firmware 1.0.3) and installs the Firmware update if necessary at the time you installed Tiger or first connected your iSight. Therefore, the Firmware update should be unnecessary and should not have been identified by Software Update... as being needed (unless someone has improperly thrown away some OS X files.)
As you note, iSight Firmware 1.0.3 will not run except on Mac OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9 (or, it now seems, if something is wrong.) If you have access to a Firewire-equipped Mac that is using one of these OSs, you can try applying the update to your iSights using that Mac.
(5) If you cannot find a Mac that is still using Panther, or if applying the update does not resolve your problem, contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional service. Ask your AASP if he wants to see your Macs, too, to check whether their software has been modified or damaged.
