Isight not connected/ chronic

My son's macbook's built in isight camera just stopped working, and we don't know why this started. The message is that it is not connected, or that it is in use by another application (which it isn't). I have searched on these forums and have found many users having the same problem. The most common solution posted on these forumsseems to be to power the computer off, disconnect battery and ac power, hold power button for 10 seconds, reinstall battery and ac power cord, and power up again.
The good news: This worked! The Isight internal camera functioned, and he wqas able to Ichat with me.
The bad news: The above solution needs to be done EVERY TIME he turns his computer off. When he starts up, every day the isight camera displays the above problem, and the above solution is needed to correct. Every day.
Has abyone else found this to be the case? How can we fix this so he doesn't have to jump through sixteen hoops and look through a kaleidescope every time he wans to ichat or photobooth?

I have reset the pram, updated the software, etc. To repeat these items brought the camera back. Thanks for your responses gents. However the problem was that this needed to be done every time the computer was turned off and restarted.
I think I have found the problem, and the fix, although I am not smart enough to explain why! We noticed that a little icon appeared on our dock, and disappeared immediately, upon every startup. This icon was a some type of "daemon" that was associated with the HP printer/scanner my son hooked up to his mac right before all of these problems started! I searched these forums for that application, and noticed that other people had similar problems with the HP scanner driver somehow occupying a port that I now believe to be somehow associated somehow to the camera. We uninstalled all the hp software, and his camera works fine every start up!
I think part of the camera troubleshooting should include question on whether new software was installed to the macbook, specifically HP software!
THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS.

Built-In iSight not connected

On iMovie, Photobooth and iChat my in-built iSight seems to not be connected.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and had no luck.
The green light is not on and I cannot locate it on the system profiler.

Welcome to Discussions, TK-60
If you are still having problems after trying Baby Boomer's good suggestion, try restarting the Mac. If the problems persist, try all relevant suggestions from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your iSight problem still occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
However, if your built-in iSight still does not work after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, and if iSight does not show as a USB hardware device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

ISight not connecting properly

Hi, my isight doesn't seem to be working when I try to connect with another person. I can see a video preview but then when I try to iChat with someone it says I failed to respond to the connection. The green light only comes on during the video preview or when I try to iChat but otherwise it is off, and the camera icon next to my name on iChat used to have three cameras and now it only has one. I have a Powerbook G4. Please, what should I do?
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah:
To connect to other persons using iChat, you need to open up the proper ports in your router (if you have one)
This may help: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_modemroutersettings
As far as your stacked icons, try logging off iChat and logging back in, that sometimes will correct the issue, otherwise if you don't leave your mac on 24/7, you may need to do some housekeeping.
This may help for housekeeping (it doesn't hurt anything): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640

Built in isight 'not connected' or 'being used by other app'

i just bought a macbook pro (os x 10.4.5; 1.83 ghz; upgraded to 1gig ram) yesterday, and when i attempted to open Photobooth to take a pic with the built in isight camera, an error came up saying, "Photobooth cannot open because either no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application." i literally took the machine out of the box, went through some of the setup, then shut it down again...did i do something wrong??

it ended up being a hardware defect, so apple kindly replaced my system with no hassles! thanks apple!!

ISight not connecting cam to cam...

Eversince the big updates around the end of September I cannot cam to cam in my favorite chat rooms on some "private" websites. There was no problem on either Mac before those updates. All other tasks for the iSight work fine, but now I cannot enjoy what I had before these updates.
Anyone have any thoughts on this...
Thanx

Also-
Besides that "Big Updates"...were there amy other changes in your setup?
New router, Airport, ISP change...did you check Mac's firewall settings?
You say: "on either Mac..." -- you mean you have two macs and this (whatever cam-to-cam is) stopped working on both?
Is this a built-in iSight cam?
Chat rooms...you mean iChat AV? Or is this something different?
Have you tried the forums specific for iSight/iChat for anyone who might be experienceing your same problem?

Isight not getting detected

I have a standalone isight and I use an IMAC G5.Its funny that my isight is not getting detected by my imac at all!! I have tried changing the firewire ports, but I just dont understand!! I hadnt been using for about a couple of months, I come back and try videochatting and it just doesnt work!!It says isight not connected!!
Can you suggest, what I need to do. I dont think I have the CD for isight either. I have had this isight for about 2 years now!

I had the same problem with my macBook. All of a sudden the green lites on my built in camera were not on and it did not recognize my isight camera...Couldn't get it to work till I plugged in an external isight camera....started working for a few weeks....then quite working again and read about reseting the prm on an intel based macbook....shut down everything, disconnected all power THEN pushed the power button for 5 seconds....repowered the computer and is came back on working.
Only problem, and the mac dealer told me this didn't matter but I'm not sure...I only get one green lite instead of two...
any thoughts on this...
Rick

My isight camera is showing not connected

i tried making a facetime call but its telling me camra not connected?

If restarting Mac doesn't fix the trouble, Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac may help you.
If not, try How to Troubleshoot iSight. Test more than one Apple app in more than one User Account.
If none of the above helps, Reinstall OS X.

Isight saying not connected on 2 week old Imac

2 week old imac displaying "camera not connected" whilst green light constantly on, went through all apple support checklists, resetting with no luck,
HELP !!

Try troubleshooting the Built-in iSight > How to Troubleshoot iSight
Then if your iSight is still misbehaving:
1. run the Apple Hardware Test > Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
2. seek support at > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

Isight not recognized by Skype, Google Video Chat, Logitech VID and ichat.

MacBook4,1 Firewire
Leopard 10.5.8
Skype 2.8.0.866
Quicktime Plug in 7.6.9
QUictime player MIA
Here is my story. I will try and make it as brief as possible.
The other day, I put a rented DVD into my dvd drive, and it didn't load. I checked for updates for Mac or quicktime. Nothing available. I did some googlin, and someone suggested I zap pram, repair permissions. I blindly obeyed. That didn't help. Then I messed around with quicktime. Not sure what I did. Finally, I had to download the latest version of VLC to watch my movie. I have no idea of my problems with QT have anything to do with my isight issues with Skype and the like, but I mentioned it just in case.
The next morning, when I went to skype, my video wasn't sending. I'm not sure if my chat partners video was working, we usually only do it one way. Me sending.
I checked to see if my video was working in photobooth. Indeed it was (and still does).
I have to date:
Downloaded the latest version of QT (7.6.9 for Leopard)- the web plug-in for watching QT online is installed and running properly.
After install, the QT player does not show up in applications, or anywhere else on the hard drive.
I Messed around with QT in ways I can't describe. Trying to install older versions, removing who knows what files. Installing again.
zapped PRAM
Cleared preferences for Skype by removing skype plist
download latest version skype
deleted all skype files I could find
reinstall Skype
repaired permissions (FIRST THING I DID)
Put your Mac to sleep
Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by by choosing the Apple
Shut down your Mac
Start up mac
Shutting down, disconnecting power supply, taking out batter, putting dumte mac together again
changed permissions on skype specifically to make sure all accounts were read/write
tried setting using skype with a new account
tried using skype, google video and logitech using wifi at my work
uninstalled PREY video security app plug in
removed and uninstalled divx
removed and uninstalled perian
Checked Preferences>Video show a black screen that says "No Video Camera Connected" and does not show ANY cameras in the video camera chooser drop down"
NOTE: Google Video Chat does show the isight cam, but a black screen. Logitech just has a black screen and asks "where in the interweb is your cam buddy?
I have searched and failed to find CamCamX5.component
Tested video in Google Chat and Logitech VID chat. built-in isight not recognized
Tested video in iChat - I chat crashed when opening. (i posted the crash report at the end of this post)
I'm sure I'm missing some.......
SOME THINGS I HAVE NOT YET TRIED

I know this is a lot of info. I hope I didn't miss anything. I use skype with three people. Three very important people. Two of which, meh, the video isn't important. ONe where the video option is paramount.
I'm just a little frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
We will come back to iChat if required.
It does prefer an Screen Name to be added as you go through the Start Up Screens (First Run) but you can click through these and just access the iChat > Preferences > Video Section to view a Preview.
I must admit to not seeing a Crash Log when the known chosen Mic/Audio Input has not been listed.
However if the External Audio was Firewire connected that may explain things.
NOTE:-
mAudio and other Firewire Audio Devices do tend to need the Most up-to-date drivers to work properly.
Sometimes it pays not to do a COMBO or other Software Update until you know the drivers are ready for it.
With any OS update above the 10.x.1 point will also have a COMBO version.
The COMBO then includes all the updated items between the base level OS and the latest Update.
So for 10.6 there is only what is called a Delta for 10.6.1
There is a delta (10.6.1 to 10.6.2 only) and a COMBO (10.6 to 10.6.2) for the next update and this is repeated through 10.6.6
The Deltas only include those things that are Updated on that occasion (As in the 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 example - 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 would not include the stuff in 10.6.4 or earlier)
COMBOs can be installed "Over-the-Top" of what you have already installed.
It is certainly needed when you Re-install something (Apple apps/Files etc) from the Install Disk you have when your OS has been updated beyond that point.
Some apps like iChat Get their Updates in the OS Updates and need to "Match" the progression.
The 10.5.8 COMBO (Your specs say 10.5.8) is Here
For others the 10.6.5 COMBO is here
and 10.6.6 COMBO IS here

Quicktime.
The Download and Install should be all the parts of Quicktime.
Internet Plug-ins for Browsers, various System Files to make Quicktime work for other apps, various Components to play various formats and of course the Player itself.
The Player should be in the Applications Folder with this icon:-
The OS 10.6 version (Quicktime X has a big blue X icon)
If you mean it has disappeared from the DOCK you can Drag the Application back to the DOCK to make the icon (and link to app) again (The app stays in the Applications folder the OS just makes an icon and links it for you by doing this)
One of the biggest causes of many apps not working is turning Off/Disabling certain Fonts the apps need.
Follow the Link in this Users Tip by Kurt Lang. Make sure that the Correct System Fonts are ON.

My camera is "not connected"

I am trying to use Face Time in my new MacBook Pro, but it says that the camera is not connected. Can anyone help?

Hey Mate!
Try resetting the SMC of your Machine, In my experience this has solved this issue.
Also, to see whether your Camera is recognised by the Mac, go to  > About this Mac > More Info > USB > Check whether USB iSight Camera is listed there.
If it is, you can usually determine that the issue isn't Hardware Related, which means that it's Software, which means that it can definitely be fixed.
Hope this helps,

Built-in iSight Not Working After Re-format

I just reformatted and reinstalled Mac OS X and applied all the system updates that were downloaded. Computer is working great. When I went to use iChat and Photobooth, it says my iSight is not connected or in use by another program.
How can I get it working again? It was a fresh install of the OS. Do I need any drivers?

Hello JCrew7384
I doubt that reinstalling the OS will be needed or helpful, and you do not need to add any "drivers" for use in OS X. If you decide to try an OS reinstall, my thoughts on Reinstalling Mac OS X are in this linked page. After you reinstall using your system installer disk, you can use the Combo Updater linked below to update to the latest version (10.4.10 v1.1 for iNtel) of OS X in one step.
Unless you get better suggestions from iNtel Mac users, here are some common solutions that help most iNtel Mac users avoid a visit to their Apple Service Technician for the "camera not connected" problem.
None of the following suggestions is complicated, but the only way to find which one will work for you is to try them one-by-one until you find the one that fixes your Mac.
Disconnect all unnecessary peripherals while trying these suggestions.
(0) If you did not repair permissions after your OS X reinstall, do so now and check your iSight again. (Click here if you need help.)
(1) Restart your Mac. Sometimes that is all that is required.
(2) If you use VMware Fusion to run Windows on your Mac, consider disconnecting iSight from your Virtual Machine as recommended by user "The.VCI" in this post.
(3) If you use an HP printer/scanner with your Mac, consider the "daemon" suggestions from user "parkersal" in this post.
(4) Check for any running applications, Login Items, or widgets that can use your iSight. (It is easy to forget widgets like Mirror in your Dashboard.) As explained in Apple's iSight "Your camera is in use by another application message, iSight can be used by one application at a time.
(5) Try every suggestion re: Built-in iSight in How to Troubleshoot iSight. Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific".
Click here if you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting.
(6) If resetting or the other troubleshooting suggestions do correct your problem, try the following:
- Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
- Even if you have previously repaired permissions, do it again immediately prior to performing the next step. (Click here if you need help.)
- Then 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.
(7) A few iNtel Mac laptop users have also reported success after unplugging their Macs and leaving the battery out for half-an-hour to overnight.
(8) If none of these suggestions help, I suggest that you take your iMac to your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for a professional check.
If you need to post back for more info, please tell us why you decided to reinstall OS X. Were you, and are you still, having any unexplained problems with your Mac other than this iSight issue?

Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

"Could not connect to Aim" Timeout

Could not connect to AIMThe connection could not be completed because it timed out. Try Again
I have tried again every couple of days for the last month. It never works.
Salient Details:
• I use a .mac account, and have double checked the password at www.mac.com.
• It used to work for me - I don't remember doing anything to mess it up.
• It doesn't work if the firewall is off.
• It doesn't work if the firewall is on with an iChatAV port (Name: Other) allowing TCP and UDP on 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, and 5678
• I am using Qwest DSL with an Actiontec router, firewall security set to "low"
• I am not "port forwarding" those ports in my router - is that related?

Any ideas?
Dual g5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi Juneappal,
It doesn't work if the firewall is on with an iChatAV port (Name: Other) allowing TCP and UDP on 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, and 5678
This misses some ports as well
TCP 5190 to log on to AIM
UDP 5190 to do certian text chats and send files and pics
UDP 5678 to send and recieve invite (A/V)
UDP 5060 to process those invites
UDP 16384-16403 to actually have the A/V chats.
TCP 5220, 5222, 5223 to do the Jabber stuff
TCP 5298 for Bnjour
UDP 5298 ditto
UDP 5297 and 5353 for Bonjour A/V cg=hats through a routing device.
Agree with the Quicktime setting that Defcom mentions

Ichat av not connecting mac/mac

Hello,
I recently installed an isight camera and have used it with another mac user effectively. However, now when I try to use it to contact another mac user who has an isight camera, it does not connect and the connection doctor reports that the user has declined invite even when he has accepted.
I have scrolled through discussions and have checked sys pref/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed and it is set to 1.5 mbps.
ichat/prefs/video/bandwidth is set to 1 mbps.
If our setup worked with another mac, would it be safe to say that the new contact mac user's computer is likely not programed correctly?
Would appreciate any help. thanks so much, liz

Still having a problem connecting with another mac user. It continues to say that the person I am calling failed to respond. We both have gone over the recommendations that I reviewed from other questions.

ISight not working with mac programs, functional with Tech Tool Deluxe

MBP 15 (late 2008)
iSight not functional, ie "no camera connected" when using photobooth, imovie, ichat, skype, but when I fire up tech tool deluxe 5, it's working - I can see myself and it is functional. Tried all the restarts, etc. Can I fix this myself or is this an applecare issue?
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions, johnnychickenfoot
One of the relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 will get it working.
If you can make your iSight work properly and repeatedly with any app in any user account you test, your problem is software related.
A properly performed reset as suggested in the Troubleshooting article often restores function to built-in iSights. If that continues not to work for you in any user account, consider software troubleshooting like the relevant ideas from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1388
Because your iSight works with TTD, your System Profiler should recognize your built-in iSight as a USB device. If you need to post back for other suggestions, please confirm that System Profiler can see your iSight when TTD is not running.
