Isight not listed under firewire in system profile

hello all,
All of a sudden my isight is not listed under firewire in the system profile. I've tried restarting with it plugged in and with it not plugged in. The green light of the camera will come on for a few seconds then shuts off when i do plug it into a firewire port. I have tried both ports on the computer and it is the same thing with each. I use yahoo messenger and no camera is listed there anymore. I also have iglasses installed and it always worked great. I guess I need to know how to get the system to list it again!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Tim

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Tim
Sorry Tony's good suggestion did not work for you.
(1) You can try the other checks, including checks for things like bad cables or ports, from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional. If you can, it will be particularly helpful to try your iSight on another Mac and try another iSight on your Mac.
(2) Click the highlighted items in System Profiler as follows to check for iSight:
If your iSight is still not recognized in System Profiler, try the suggestions in Apple's What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device article.
(3) If you can get your external iSight recognized as a Firewire device in System Profiler but your iSight is still not working, you should next try all relevant suggestions from Apple's 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.
(4) If you cannot get System Profiler to recognize iSight as a Firewire device after trying all relevant suggestions, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

    Try some maintenance actions:

  • G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

    Hi,
    Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
    Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
    Before that, it isn't working at all.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hi athirah11,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
    - Link to picture
    - Link to picture
    2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
        a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
        b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
         -  this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
    If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Jollywallet is not listed under tools, extensions, where is it?

    Windows 8.1 Firefox 28.0
    Jollywallet is suddenly in my face, all over Firefox.
    I have been looking at removal fixes for an hour.
    I want jollywallet off my machine.
    Jollywallet is not listed under tools, extensions or add-ons on my Firefox.
    Jollywallet is not under add-remove programs windows.
    Thanks

    Okay, this is a little more complicated now.
    Firefox stores your settings in a folder which it terms a profile. You can have multiple profiles, but only one running at a time.
    When you use Reset, Firefox creates a new profile for you and copies over your bookmarks and selected other data.
    At this point, you have a choice: do you want to build up your new profile with your standard customizations, or do you want to resurrect your old profile and try to clean it?
    I guess it's not really a choice because you can do both and switch back and forth deciding which works better for you.
    Here's my suggested old profile resurrection procedure:
    '''Overview'''
    These are the steps:
    (1) Create a new Firefox profile<br>
    (2) Remove everything from that new profile folder<br>
    (3) Copy in everything from the old profile folder
    '''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
    Click the Create Profile button. Use the default location (i.e., do not click to choose a different folder). Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
    '''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
    Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
    * Help &gt; Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving this folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. This will leave that profile folder open in Windows Explorer.
    '''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
    In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
    Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
    Select everything and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
    Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
    '''Start Firefox'''
    Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

  • Acrobat XI Pro not listed under applications after installation

    Mac OS: 10.9.1
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2.3GHz
    After installed Acrobat XI Pro, it is displayed in the Creative Cloud Desktop as "Up to date"
    But not listed under "Applications" folder.
    Could not find Acrobat XI Pro anywhere in the computer.
    When you choose "Open with" option for pdf file, not displays Acrobat XI Pro.
    Instead it displays the older version Acrobat Pro 9.
    Someone please help to fix this.

    So, I completed all the steps with no luck. Uninstalled CC and all its components, ran the cleaner, etc. When I reinstalled a fresh version of the Creative Cloud Desktop App, it showed as if Acrobat XI Pro is already installed - see attached screen shot. Any other suggestions?

  • Gmail not listed under default programs how do I select it?

    Trying to set gmail as default for email when clicking on a "reply to" address. It is not listed under default programs. How do I add it or what can I do to make gmail or any other non-microsoft program the default?

    For links inside Firefox, you can change a setting in the Options dialog. This article has the steps: [[Change the program used to open email links]].
    For links outside Firefox, you may want to check with Google on what they suggest. (Well, they suggest using Google Chrome, but I meant other than that!)

    I have purchased a song from itune but it is not listed under my purchased items, why

    By 'purchased items' do you mean the Purchased link under Quick Links in the store ? If you do then do other songs that you've purchased appear there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ?

  • Hyperion Strategic Finace are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections (EPMS 11.1.2.3)

    Dears,
    I'm can't access Hyperion Strategic Finance trhough SmartView because are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections.
    But if I try connect trhough Private Connections it's work fine.
    I've tried reconfigure Providers Services, but didn't work.
    Anyone could help me?
    Thanks in advance

    It should be possible using a Shared connection to Strategic Finance as it is documented - Creating a connection using Shared Connections , as far as I am aware it is only OBIEE where you have to use the XML method.
    It might be worth checking in workspace under workspace settings and enabled products to see if Strategic Finance is enabled.

  • If not listed under "Known Affected Releases", is it considered "Confirmed Not Vulnerable"?

    I have a hard time believing only this version of UCS is vulnerable... Since there is no distinction to identify versions  "Confirmed Not Vulnerable"; If the version is not listed under "Known Affected Releases", does it mean it is not vulnerable or could it also mean it wasn't tested/verified?
    While we are on the topic, how many versions back does cisco check?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • No laughing...  I have a Canon ZR 300 camcorder.  I can not see it when connected via firewire in system profile and iMovie doesn't see it either.  Any suggestions?

    I have an old Canon ZR 300 camcorder that I'm trying to connect to my 17" MBP via 9 pin firewire (its a 4 pin to 9 pin cable as the MBP doesn't have a 4 pin firewire - figured it was backwards compatible).  Anyhow, iMovie 09 doesn't see the camcorder.  I checked under System Profile and then under Firewire and it doesn't see it either.  In fact I get some red letters about not seeing firewire devices.  I'm running Lion.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work?  if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
    Thanks
    No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
    Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)
