ISight not recognized by any programs

I have a MacBook with a Built-in iSight and the camera hasn't worked in any application I've tried to use it with. I remember it working in PhotoBooth the first day I bought it, but since then, it hasn't worked. How do I fix this?

You may not be able to "fix" it. Judging from research on Google and the Apple.com archives; built-in iSight cameras have been disabling themselves for months now (I've seen references to this problem as far back as 2007!)
My biggest disappointment is that I've never personally seen any official acknowledgment from Apple themselves regarding this widespread iSight/camera problem.
I'm more than willing to offer an apology if someone can show me or direct me to any official Apple release that they actually acknowledge this epidemic problem within their product.

    Nice to see a service like this . . . at least for me to vent . . .
    My built-in camera is not working for any application (PhoneBooth, Skype, iChat) and I've perused the troubleshooting forums for the past hour or so. Tried 1) checking USB in System Profiler 2) zapping PRAM 3) resetting SMC, to no avail. Is it worth looking at the software (i.e. updates, re-installs, etc), or should I just call my Apple store in town tomorrow? Any estimates on cost to fix these built-in cameras? I might just buy and install an external camera if it's too much money to fix the built-in one. Thanks for any and all responses.

    Welcome to Discussions, small_brain
    Use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 suggestions to troubleshoot and perhaps fix your iSight. If you cannot make iSight work using the other suggestions there, contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for professional help.
    Your Apple-Authorized Service Provider can answer your other questions. If your think that cost might be a significant concern, explain that to your AASP at the beginning of your conversation. If an estimating charge is necessary for your problem, the AASP can tell you how much it will be.
    After evaluating your problem, your AASP can give you his best estimate and likely provide a maximum expected amount for any needed service. You can then decide whether repairs are economically feasible before the work is actually started.
    If the cost is too great and you do not intend to trade Macs, an external camera such as a Mac-compatible, Firewire-connected, camcorder or one of the webcams suggested here are possible alternatives:

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

  • Built-In iSight NOT RECOGNIZED after EFI Update 1.1

    After updating to EFI 1.1 on my iMac 20 Inch (2,16Ghz) the built-in iSight-Cam is not
    working anymore. It´s not showing up in the system profiler > USB Devices.
    I bought the iMac last week, switched it on, the cam took a picture on the user account creation,
    I applied the EFI-Update and OSX 10.4.8. After that the cam was gone.
    I tried everything from resetting SMC, PRAM to reinstalling Combo-Update 10.4.8 ... NOTHING helped !
    Any ideas or solutions ???
    P.S.: Sorry for my crappy English, I´m writing from Germany !

    Here´s a report from MacFixIt.com about this problem:
    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20061211231332862
    Built-in iSight not recognized Some users have reported loss of their built-in iSights after applying the iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.1. In some cases, this issue can be resolved by resetting the SMC (system management controller) using this process:
    1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
    4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
    Resetting PRAM can solve a variety of issues As mentioned in our coverage of recent EFI Firmware updates issued for other Macs, a number of potentially serious issues apparent after applying this EFI Firmware Update can be resolved by simply resetting PRAM/NVRAM via the following process:
    Shut down your Mac, then start it back up while immediately holding the following keys: Command, Option, P and R. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    This workaround is a good first course of action before exploring more complex fixes. It should also be attempted if your system cannot properly startup after applying the update.

  • I am having problems with  Olympus .orf files one files cannot be read by Elements 10 and Lightroom 4. Both provide an error message saying that the file is not recognized. Any ideas?  minzen

    i am having problems with  Olympus .orf  which cannot be read by Elements 10 and Lightroom 4. Both provide an error message saying that the file is not recognized. Any ideas?  minzen

    That camera model is too new for your programs. Every camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include the info for each new model as it comes out. The workaround would be to download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your ORFs to DNGs that your version of Camera Raw can read.

  • Ipod not recognized by any MAC computer

    I have a 20gb IPOD 2nd generation which has worked fine until recent itunes and tiger software upgrade. Now Finder nor utilities (ipod updater) nor itunes will recognize the ipod when connected with firewire-- even in disc mode. Ipod is not recognized by any MAC computer (several tried in Apple store). I ran diagnostics and everything checks out on the ipod. Please help.

    When I got a different charger later that night, my Ipod was charging but a message popped up saying "USB device not recognized".

  • External iSight not recognized

    I have been reading up on iSight connection troubles for a while now, to no avail.
    My *external firewire isight* stopped being recognized and/or turned on from one day to the next.
    It *does not function in any software* (iVisit, iChat) i have been using it in (for years).
    I have repaired permissions, thrown away plists and such.
    *System Profiler* identifies the isight as an *'unknown device'*, which i find quite disturbing since i have not downloaded and/or installed anything prior to the malfunction and the subsequent lack of recognition of this cam.
    This is certainly *not a User specific* issue, certainly *not a software specific issue*, certainly *not a problem with the cam* (unless it dies without even being touched of course)
    Any further advice Very Welcome, i use this cam daily for my work.

    Welcome to Discussions, Floatstone
    You can use the suggestions in How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional to try to identify and correct the user-repairable issues I know about for external iSight.
    Anything that people make can fail. Based on the troubleshooting you have already done, if your issue is not cables, connectors, or Firewire, it may be that your iSight itself needs repair. In that case, you will need the help of Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider. There are no user-serviceable parts in iSight.

  • 3G iPod Touch "USB device not recognized" on any PC

    My 3G been working fine for 1+ yr. Running iTunes 10 on a WinXP system; latest OS (4.2.1?) everything was up to date and working fine. One day I get "USB device not recognized" when I hook it to the PC. Also, when connected to a charger, I don't get the battery screen. It charges either way, but slowly.
    I visited the local Apple store & the guru checked it on her system, with same results. I just reset it, hoping for a miracle, but it still isn't recognized.
    Help?

    Hi Che-Che. I'm having what looks like the same problem. Cannot get this iPod Touch 4th Gen to be recognized on any computer. When I use the white Apple cord that came with it, absolutely nothing happens. Not a sign of being recognized or not being recognized. I brought a third party cable made by Scohche and it is made for iPod, but at least the computer acts like it is starting to load the USB driver, then it fails. The other cable you are talking about, was it an Apple cable? I'm leaning towards it being a faulty Apple cable.

  • ITouch not recognized on any PC anymore - Defect USB port the cause?

    Hey guys,
    I'm posting here because I've been to the closest Genius Bar twice and they couldn't even tell me what was my problem. I'm kinda desperate right now...
    The same problem occurred on my three iPod Touch first gen so far; for some reason they simply stop being recognized by ANY computers. I try different cables, reset, recovery mode, reinstall iTunes, restart the AMDS, update every hardware drivers of my PC... The only thing I haven't done right now is reformatting my PC, which won't happen.
    I went to the Apple's Genius Bar and they couldn't find my problem; it wasn't the pins, the cable nor an application problem (I have latest firmware 2.1 by the way). So they gave me another Touch which was also defect. Yesterday, I return and they gave me a third one which worked correctly at the store and on my job's computer.
    However, when I got back home I connect it on my own PC (using the same cable et setup) and for some reason, now the same problem reappeared. Doesn't matter what I try, it is not recognized anywhere anymore. When I connect it to a PC, the recharge window never shows; it continue working normally though.
    As I said, I updated every hardware drivers and I'm a little tired of going to the store everyday. Could it be caused by a defect USB port? Anyone ever seen something like this?
    Some help would be really appreciate.
    Thanks for your time and support.
    Frank

    I been having the same problem as you, except I haven't tried it in a different computer. For a while, iTunes is recognizing my iTouch as a digital canon camera. Now its not recognizing it as anything.
    This problem started started when I downloaded the iTouch 2.0.2 update. When iTunes is open it asked me to update. When I click yes to update the iTunes, it only updates the safari and it won't update the iTunes. Apple support by phone was not able to help me fix this problem. The tech said that the USB port hardware needs to be updated on my computer. It took me almost 5 hours to find out this could be the solution to my problem.
    Now, I'm trying to find the USB update thru Microsoft and I'm having difficult time finding this too. I had this iTouch for only 3 months and cost me almost $400 and I'm not able to use it. I have at least 14GB available in this iTouch and I don't know If I will be able to use all this space, it I dont find the solution to this problem.
    If you find the solution to this problem, PLEASE reply to this post. If anyone else reading this, your answers are welcome and appreciated. If I cant find a solution to this problem, I will never buy an Apple product again.

    Follow the directions on this page. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    It will put your iPod into recovery mode and should make it visible to Itunes.
    Then you can restore it again and hopefully for the last time.

  • IPhone 2g. Failed restore. Now is not recognized by any computer.

    Hello. I have the 1st generation iPhone. The other day I was restoring it, to transfer it to my sister. It came unconnected during restore. I've dealt with botched restores before, you're just supposed to get it into recovery mode and restore... Just one problem now... I can't get any computer to recognize it. I have 3 computers and 4 connection cords.
    Computer #1: Dell with XP SP2. Has USB 2.0
    Computer #2: HP/Compaq laptop. Vista 64-Bit.Also 2.0
    Computer #3: Thick Mac that came with OS X Leopard
    I have 2 Thin, no press connection cords and 2 thick, squeeze-to-disconnect, cords.
    The iPhone will go into DFU and Recovery mode.
    I have tried every port on every computer with every cable. I have tried it in Recovery mode , and DFU mode. Both windows computers just say "USB device not recognized" and "Unknown Device". The mac doesn't do anything. iTunes does not recognize on any of them. I have absolutely NO idea of if I can fix this. It also seems to be out of warranty. What can i do?

    This is really pathetic Apple. Sad and pathetic. I call my local Apple store, they say call national help. I call national, spend an hour on hold, and finally get some person in India. I tell them everything
    I've done and they walk me through it again. Finally after another hour, the tell me they can't fix it and to check here. I post here and noone replys. I go to the genius bar. They can connect it to a mac, they say, "It's a 2g, out of warranty, buy a new one". It didn't fall on the floor, the cord came out of the computer. and now it doesn't work. This is total BS. Unless some magical pixie helps me, and apologizes for all this, I'm boycotting Mac and Apple for the rest of me entirety, and I'm going to burn my i-Phone 2g in effigy. Then, I'll go buy a WORKING and SUPPORTED smartphone with a WINDOWS OS! They actually work!!!!

  • My iPhone 5 is not recognized on any PC, wont charge by USB in PC either

    My iPhone 5 is not recognized on my PC w/ Windows 7, nor Windows 8. It does not charge while plugged into either computer, but it does charge when plugged into the wall! I tried uninstalling, downloading a new copy and installing iTunes on both PCs. There is no sound when I plug the iPhone into the computer. Device Manager does not have an entry for any Apple device anywhere. Am I screwed? There is one thing: I have not yet updated to the latest firmware, but I have been holding off because its been a long time since I backed the phone up. I'm really worried!!! Please help, I'm out of the 1 year warranty on it.

    Have you tried another USB phone cable?

  • 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.

  • Ipod shuffle is not recognized by any computer or itunes

    I have a first gen. ipod shuffle. It does not show up in Windows or Itunes on two different computers. The original problem was that it would not skip to the next song. I was going to reset or restore it, but I can't because neither computer (dell) that i own recognizes the shuffle. Help anyone?

    I have downloaded that utility but can not use it, as
    when I plug the shuffle into the USB port, it is not
    recognized by either computer I am using. I can not
    reset or restore, because in order to do that the
    computer would have to know the shuffle is plugged in
    and it doesnt. I have tried this on two different
    computers and get the same result, so I dont think
    its a computer issue, its an ipod issue. I also used
    to be albe to play the shuffle on the Xbox 360 and
    now can not.
    Just as a check, did you actually follow the THESE directions...EXACTLY?
    Using iPod shuffle Reset Utility
    1. Quit all running applications on your computer.
    2. Open the iPod shuffle Reset Utility.
    3. Connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your computer. Do not connect iPod shuffle to a USB port on your keyboard or other non-powered USB hub.
    4. Click the Restore button. If prompted, enter an Admin user name and password.
    5. The restore process will start.
    6. When it is complete, quit iPod shuffle Reset Utility and open iTunes to sync music to your iPod shuffle.
