ISight not working with Apple apps but only with Skype and flash....

Hi guys, don't know why but suddenly my isight stopped working with every apple application, like ichat, imovie and photoboot, but it still works with skype and safari (flash).
The camera simply doesn't work, the green led stays off.... I tried resetting PRAM, SMC, deleted .plist files, tried new account and everything...
Maybe the problem is facetime, I uninstalled it by simply dragging it to the trashcan, so I followed a thread here and manually deleted its last files but no luck....
Please guys help me, I really hope I don't have to FORMAT my mac... sounds so windows to me XD...

Thanks for the "helpful" star, V4N0!
(1) Your initial post shows you using Mac OS X (10.6.6),
   but your latest post shows Mac OS X (10.6.5).
Have you "downdated" to 10.6.5?
(2) iSight works with iMovie, Photo Booth, QuickTime, and other apps like Address Book,
   etc. You need not try every possible app, but please tell us which you have tested,
   and which, if any, work with your iSight.
(3) Have you tested iSight operation in more than one user account?
   Are the symptoms EXACTLY the same in any user account you test?
(4) If your only problem is with ALL apps in ALL user accounts, try applying the
   Combo Update using the method suggested in this recent post:
  http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12859723&#12859723
If you want the latest Mac OS instead of 10.6.5, download the 10.6.6 Combo Update:

instead of the 10.6.5 Combo (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324) link in the post.

  • Handoff not working for iWork apps, but ok with Safari, Mail, etc.

    Handoff is working fine between my iPhone and my rMBP for Safari, Mail, Calendar, Maps, etc. but not working with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. 
    Have updated Pages, Numbers and Keynote to latest versions on both OS X and iOS.
    Any ideas?

    Well handoff is now working fine with Pages, Numbers and KeyNote between rMBP and iPhone 5s. 
    I've not changed anything but did notice that the iOS apps were updated on 6 November to version 2.5.1, so maybe there was a fixed included there.

  • External video projector - How can I hook up my Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?

    Hi
    How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
    Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
    Thanks,
    JFR

    The Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.

  • Multiple bugs in multiple apps but only for me and not my friends

    I have a lot of problems with various apps that ONLY happen for me, none of my friends with the same apps get these problems.
    I have tried the following:
    Backup and restore - doesnt fix it
    start over again redownloading the apps by syncing - Seems to fix things, a few days or a week later the problems reappear (might be after I did another sync)
    started on my 3gs, also happens on my 4
    So I think there is a problem in my account somewhere and no idea how to fix it at all.
    So really what I would like to do is just transfer only my app purchases to a new account and start fresh from there, I wouldnt even mind if the old account was then deleted either but I dont mind either way
    Oh and before someone asks its not and never has been jailbroken.

    Jailbroken?

  • Internet not working through Apple applications, but ok in firefox?

    I'm having trouble with my internet connection through Apple software on my computer. It started a few days ago, I don't think any changes have been made to my network.
    Basically if I try to connect to the internet in Safari, Mail, iTunes, Dashboard or anything else that's an Apple program, it doesn't work at all. It spends a huge amount of time "Loading..." and sometimes will eventually come up with the information but usually times out.
    However, if I use Firefox - which I had luckily installed on my computer - all pages and everything load instantly.
    I connect to the internet through an Airport which we bought three months ago. The Airport connects to a modem which connects to the line.
    What is wrong and how do I fix it?? I much prefer using Safari and I'm dying because I can't get into the iTunes store!!

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    Firefox is one of the few applications that maintain their own 'Proxy'-settings and do not use the general 'Proxy'-settings of OSX like all the other apps you mentioned to not work.
    Check the Proxy-settings of Firefox against the general OSX ones.
    Hope it helps

  • Camera not working in Apple apps on ML 10.8.1

    PhotoBooth, FaceTime and QuickTime both say that there is no camera attached when I open them on my MBP mid 2010
    Skype works just fine...
    Please sort this out Apple.
    /W

    Hi, I tried to click on the site identity icon, but there only appeared a reference to Google Talk plugin (Block or continue allowing). Then I manually checked permissions, and changed Camera from "default" to "always allow" on Gmail and Google Talk. No changes at all. After all I have done, I still think it's not a problem of permissions, but a problem of this specific driver not being recognized in Flash / Firefox. I tried with like 10 different versions of Firefox (40, 39, 38, 37 ...) and several Flash versions too. Reinstalled the camera a few times, the Intel HD graphics drivers, removed camera, used default drivers, then used the ones from Lenovo ... When I click in the plugin message nothing happens, I can see from the source code that it's a Flash message.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • SMTP settings not working on Apple Mail but work on other email clients like Sparrow

    Apple mail constantly gives me "Could not connect to SMTP server" while other email clients have not problem connecting to the same server using the same credentials. And yes I've checked my login name / pw. many times. Same exact settings on all clients. Everything works, while Apple Mail doesnt. I've been using Apple Mail app for a while with my other accounts. For some reason here, it can't connect. Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Background Image in Nav Bar Not Working in IE 6 (but ok in 7 and Firefox 2)

    Hi gang,
    I'm having a bit of a problem with a background image for a navigation bar not appearing in IE 6. I've also tested it in IE 7 - it works perfectly, as it does in Firefox 2.
    http://www.iainmoran.com/update/test.html
    The really strange thing is the part of the bar after "Contact" IS fine in IE 6.
    Also, is there any way to remove unused styles (in an external CSS) in DW? Just it would be a pain to go through and remove the styles I've tried, but then later decided not to use.
    Thanks again,
    Iain.

    Have you contacted Project VII support or searched their knowledge base?

    Not exaclty a DW answer, but I've used the free FireFox add-on to help me find unused selectors. Point it to a sitemap.xml and it can spider the whole site (as listed in that xml file).

  • I am using Mac running OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) and Firefox 26. Two finger scroll down is not working all of a sudden only with Firefox.

    Hardware : Macbook Pro
    Operating System : OS X Mavericks v10.9.1
    Browser : Firefox v26.0
    All of a sudden, two finger scrolls doesn't work. Thats only when I am within Firefox Window. Everywhere it just works great. I got NO scroll bars at the edges of browser(Firefox) too. No way of proper browsing other than switching to Safari.
    Request to fix this asap.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Raja Gopal M

    I'm having the same problem but what I found was the scrolling on my iMac was it works until you try and swipe to go back a page. Then the only solution is the quit the program and restart it.
    Spec is an Apple magic track Pad on my iMac with OS X 10.9.
    I'm currently using FireFox v25 but the same issue is in v27.0.1.

  • Video Footage not working on my Mac but only on PCs.. i need it on the Mac!

    I have uploaded movie footage from a JVC Everio and a Sony Vario-Tessar- both of which use the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) technology. The footage works perfectly on any PC computer however on my Macintosh when attempting to play them or edit them using Final Cut Pro the Sony footage plays but with no sound and the JVC footage claims it is not a movie file at all.
    does anyone have any insight into thise i'm desperate to have this done by monday!
    or can anyone give me a list of differend types of file names you can have for a movie file e.g. .MOV so that i can attempt to change file names etc.
    PLEASE help!

    you made a good choice, DVCPRO HD is an excellent intermediate compressed HD format to use when converting from your HDD based HD footage
    in future, for woring with the Everio you might want to check out the following:
    1) the QUICK TIME for Everio component from the CD-ROM that is supplied with the camcorder.
    2) then update for the JVC Quick Time component for Everio which can be found at: http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/updateqtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3eupdate.htm This update provides latest compatibility for up to QuickTime Version 7.4.5 and Mac OS X 10.5.2.
    3) Easy Setup files for Final Cut Pro for 60i (for USA) need to be downloaded and installed from: http://www.everydayvideo.com/eng/GZHD3/indexqc.php
    On the same page there is a tutorial link with individual sections for recordings made in FHD or SP/1440CBR modes. It shows you how to convert the file to either AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec), YUV (uncompressed) format or HDV1080i.
    Please also see the Apple editing tutorials which are located here:

  • Paypal button not working correctly in Firefox but does with IE

    On the Donate page of www.jnh-goneriding.org are several Paypal buttons with drop down options. When you choose anything other than the first line and click on Buy Now - when it goes to the next screen it only shows the first line - not the line you picked in the drop down.
    This works correctly in Internet Explorer.

    Firefox will show the link if nothing is blocking it...
    In case an ad blocker, script blocker, or another extension is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Trackpad/Multitouch not working.... but only in certain spots?

    Hey all.
    I've had my 2010 2.4ghz Core 2 DuoMacbook for just over 2 years, and I've had my share of problems, but nothing quite like this.  Upon waking it from sleep this afternoon, the trackpad has been acting eratic, but not in the typical fashion described on these forums.  It doesn't jerk or click on its own.  Instead, it appears to have developed dead spots, in which the trackpad cannot sense that my finger is touching it.  The trackpad is not wet and my hands are not dirty; the problematic areas are consitent.  It's as though the sensitivity in much of the trackpad has simply vanished.
    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on this computer and booted via the installation disk, running the disk and permission checks.  Nothing has changed.  Is this a definite hardware problem, warranting a replacement of the trackpad, or is there a possible solution for this?
    Thanks

    Check your application settings in the WACOM file . That is also where
    you can set the thumb wheel to zoom in and out with ( Ctrl / numb+)

  • IPhone 5 not charging with Apple cord, but will with a cord I bought from amazon

    My iPhone 5 will not charge using an apple certified cord. I bought an amazon cord awhile ago because the original cord started to break/split. Any fix for this? I'd like to use the cord my wife has for her 5s, but it doesn't work.
