ISight not Working with Messages/Facetime

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch mid 2009 that I connect to a 22" cinema display (very old but still works beautifully) and I have an older cylindrical iSight camera mounted to the top of the cinema display (laptop is closed and cinema display is only monitor in use). It has always worked fine. I connect the iSight to a firewire hard drive and the hard drive to the fire wire port on the MacBook Pro. Today I am still able to get the isight to work in iMovie. So the camera works, the wiring works.
However, recently I haven't been able to get facetime or skype to recognize the iSight camera. Why is that? How can I facetime with my camera? I don't want to open up my laptop everytime my wife calls.
I have MacOS 10.10.2.

Skype seems to work with the iSight now but messages/facetime still does not. I get a message saying "another application is using your camera." No other application that uses the camera is open. I don't know why the first post appended that I have 10.9.4. I have 10.10.2.

ISight not working with Webex, GoToMeeting or Lync...BUT works with Skype, Facetime, Photobooth (June 2013 MBA)

Brand new MacBook Air (June 2013, 8MB RAM, 500GB SSD)
iSight not working with Cisco Webex, Citrix GoToMeeting or Microsoft Lync (error = webcam not detected); BUT iSight works with Skype, Facetime and Photobooth.
3 hours of phone support with Webex - no luck.
Tried SMC and PRAM reset - no luck.
Tried erasing disk and reinstalling OSX 10.8.4 and apps manually with latest versions - no luck.
Apple phone support says it's not Apple's problem because Apple apps work.
Exchanged at Apple Store for another new MacBook Air, again installed apps manually with latest version (not from time machine) - STILL NO LUCK!!!
Is there an update Apple or Cisco, Citrix and Microsoft need to put out for the new MBAs or do I just have 2 lemons???

You're welcome.

It will be interesting to see what the vendors say about using a Mac-compatible external webcam.
If not, some netbook or other Windows® device might offer compatibility at a much lower cost than a compatible Apple notebook.
We will watch for your update(s). What the vendors tell you will be very helpful to others who share this or similar issues with their new MBAs.

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:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
instead of the 10.6.5 Combo (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324) link in the post.

External isight not working with Macbook Pro early 2008

My external isight is not working with my Macbook Pro early 2008 (2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 6 GB RAM, OSX Lion). It goes warm when plugged into the firewire port but is not recognized in system prefs (lists as "unknown device" and also does not turn on (green light. I tried resetting PRAM and all the other stuff as suggested here but no luck. It used to work fine on a 1st generation Macbook and I remember that one of the first times I tried it with this machine here it turned on for a few secs (green light) but then it just simply stopped.
Unfortunately, I have no other firewire device to check the port.
Any ideas, dear community?

Our (old) external Firewire iSights can be sensitive to dust, shock, vibration, humidity, and other environmental factors in storage. (I store my spare in its original plastic shipping case with a new desiccant pack on a solid shelf - never in a desk drawer or other container that moves.)
You have tried several good things and may be finding that your old iSight needs work.
Here are the alternatives I can offer. Consider any you have not tried in any order you like:
(1) You can try Apple's suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
Test in more than one user account and with more than one Apple softwre application.
(2) My expanded suggestions here: http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
(3) Reset Firewire ports using the info from this old archived Apple article: http://web.archive.org/web/20090331211534/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317
(4) If you have no local Apple Authorized service Provider who can help you, other service options are here: http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
(5) Consider a new USB cam with current warranty such as one of these: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

Isight not working with skype and tokbox after snow leopard upgrade

Recently, I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard. After the upgrade, I found that my built-in iSight camera wasn't recognized on TokBox. On Skype, it said that the iSight camera was in use by another application (however no other applications were running). The iSight is working with iChat, so I don't know what is wrong... everything was fine when I was using Tiger!

Okay, so I restarted my computer and that didn't work.
Then, I went through the suggestions from the link you posted. I found that the iSight works in iChat and Photobooth; however, it does not work in iMovie HD (exactly the same in both user accounts on my computer). Just like before, the iSight is "in use by another application" in Skype on both user accounts.
I reset the SMC, but it didn't seem to help anything. Everything was acting the same as before I reset it.
I also noticed that my iTunes and my iMovie won't open; they both quit unexpectedly every time I try to open them. This happens in both user accounts as well.
Okay, so it will be simplest to work your issues in steps. We will start with iMovie.
Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then reinstall iMovie HD 6. Repair permissions again after the installer finishes.
If the version of iMovie HD 6 in your iLife '06 DVD is not "6.0.3", download and install the update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL319
If you need to do this update, repair permissions again after the update is finished.
Test the reinstalled iMovie HD 6 to see if it works in more than one user account and post back the results.

AIM not working with messages

Hello,
My AIM account has not worked with ichat or messages in the last few months. I called Apple about this over 3 weeks ago and they said their is a glitch in the lion software and aim? However, all of my friends have no problem with their aim accounts working. I have downloaded AIM and everything works. It just does not work in ichat/messages after re-setting the password and re-adding the account. Help!

Yes, enabling and disabling the AIM account (sometimes it takes doing it a few times) seems to work. And I found elsewhere that opening activity monitor and killing off the imagent process (which then automatically relaunches) seems to work as well. Those workarounds are not permanent solutions for me though. As soon as the iMac is either restarted or shut down and then turned back on... Messages seems to be right back at square one with not being able to connect to AIM unless I use the workaround again. I just hope Apple can figure out what is going on and fix the app before it goes final.

Built in iSight not working with Google chat?

Hi all,
I recently updgraded to Mac OS X version 10.7.2 for my Intel based iMac. Since then, the built in iSight camera does not work with Google Chat. It does work with iChat and Photobooth though.
I reistalled the Google chat plug in (or I guess I installed it again). I ran a check, and my software updates are current. I tried the power down, unplug the power cord, wait 15 seconds routine, and that didn't work either.
When I go in to Mail Settings in gmail, click Chat, and then Verify your Settings, I don't see anything in the window next to it - just black.
Does anyone have any good ideas to help? Using google chat is just a lot more convenient for me than using iChat...
Thanks!

Hi,
For some time now the Google Web Browser Video Chat plug-in (Also and automatic part of Installing Chrome) has been an issue in relation to going to Video Chat sites that use the Flash Plug-in.
My Flash Plug-in in Lion is version 11.1 r102
I don't have the Google one so I could not tell you the latest from them.
I am not sure that Google are moving very fast, if at all on this matter.
It could be as soon as either Flash makes an update it ruins the progress Google have made.

Isight not working with ichat

I've ran into problems with my built-in isight camera not working with ichat. It says there hasn't been any information sent in the past 10 seconds and shuts down. It works fine on other programs like Yahoo Messenger and Skype though. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Not you OS.

Built-in iSight not working with Facebook

So iSight seems to be working with all of the applications, including Photo Booth and iChat, but for some reason it's not working for recording videos on Facebook. When I try to record a video, it says "search for cameras again". I'm wondering why it's doing this. Someone please help! Thank you!

I am getting the same result as you, Sara.
Because this is not an Apple issue, I checked the related FaceBook FAQs:
http://www.facebook.com/help/search.php?hq=record+video&ref=hq
I found nothing there that helped me, but, if you have success, please share what you find.
However, in FaceBook's Video: Bugs and Known Problems, I found this that leads me to believe ours is a known issue:
I can’t record a video on Facebook with my webcam.
Some users are having trouble recording videos on the site and will see a "cannot connect to server" message. Sometimes users might be able record videos but not save them. These problems generally occur when posting a video on a friend’s Wall or sending a video in a message. You can report this issue here.
I suggest you use the "here" link to report the problem you are having. Hopefully, FaceBook can get it resolved quickly.
If you think it better, you might prefer to issue a bug report as explained with the following words on the same "Video: Bugs and Known Problems" page:
I'd like to submit a bug report.
Although we're unable to reply to every bug report at this time, we may contact you for more details about the issue as we investigate the report. Thank you for taking the time to improve the site.
Please submit bug reports only here.

Built-in iSight not working with Skype

Hi, I have an iMac Intel Core with Built-in iSight, and ever since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard OS, my Skype does not recognize my webcam- when I select the "Built-in iSight" option, it says it is in use by another applications, and when I select the "Built-in iSight (leopard)" option, it's just a green screen.
I've tried reinstalling, updating, and calling Apple. My friend uses Skype on Snow Leopard with a MacBook Pro 13'' and his works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

For any iSight trouble, start with Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
If your iSight problem 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 after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, your built-in iSight still does not work, and if it does not show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
If Skype is your only problem app, you can get help for Skype specific questions here:
http://www.skype.com/help/guides/
Skype even has its own dedicated forum for help from Skype users: http://forum.skype.com/
For any Skype questions or problems, you will probably get faster and better help from the Skype users or Skype Tech Support. Search or post in the appropriate Skype Support area.
If you still cannot find what you need, check https://support.skype.com/search_first/
before contacting Tech Support: https://support.skype.com/support_selection
Of course we will be happy to try to help with Apple questions here in Discussions.

ISight not working with other apps

I've currently been having a problem with my Intel iMac (specs in signature) since the iSight works with iChat (the green light turns on and everything), but it doesn't work with other apps such Delicious Library or Photo Booth. I also have a Windows XP partition on here, and it works just fine.
With Photo Booth, I just get a green screen and no message. On Delicious Library I get a white screen and no message either. I've tried deleting the .plist file for Photo Booth, but that hasn't worked. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

If nothing above solves your problem, try all relevant suggestions from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
If the problem continues, you may have a hardware or software conflict. Some users report that plug-ins installed by Delicious Library cause conflicts with iSight.
If your problem remains after trying all relevant Troubleshooting suggestions, uninstall D/L (or at least remove any QuickTime plug-ins D/L installs) to see if your system has a D/L conflict.

Isight not working with ichat but works with Google talk and photo booth

My Video chat is not working with messages.

When someone tries to send me an invite for a video chat the green light shows up but I do not receive and invitation window to accept it.
I am using an aim account on messages and my server settings are api.oscar.aol.com, port 443, and use SSL is checked.
In connection doctor is says my router type is port restricted and that "This computer's network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting. I am not sure if this is the reason my video chat is not working.
If anyone can help me please let me know.

Hi,
Most routers can be accessed via Web Browser.
The IP shown in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab in the "Router IP" box is generally the one to use.
You also tend to need a User ID and Password.
Apple Base Stations are different in that they have an App in the Utilities folder that accesses the set up screens.
Your router can have different methods of opening the ports.
Port Forwarding
This tends to be the oldest of the methods.
Essentially you point a port to an IP (computer) to allow it.
A collection of ports may need to be entered one by one.
Once set up, only that computer can use those ports.
Port Triggering
This cuts down the number of ports set to be Open as it involves "listening" ports that then open further ports
iChat/Messages needs some ports to be open all the time and you set these a bit like Port Forwarding but with listing the IP to send the data to.
The A/V side can have a listening port (port 5678 for the Visible part of the Invite)
The advantage is that multiple computers can use the same ports.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is an ON or Off setting (Enable/Disable)
It opens all the port (65535 of them) to one IP (i.e only one computer can use this.)
It is sort of like Port Forwarding Extreme
UPnP (Universal Plug 'n' Play)
A setting that allows the App to tell the router which ports to open.
This means the router can carry on doing DHCP and multiple computer can use the ports involved.
Where these setting are varies at least as much as there are manufacturers.
This is Linksys Port Forwarding (the arrows above the pic show the Others (it does not show DMZ)

ISight Not Working with OS X

iSight is not detected and doesnt appear in the USB menue. Apple shop tells me that the OS must be reinstalled and they would need about a day to do so. Any ideas how I can make my MBA recognize its iSight (by the way .. the keyboard backlight doesnt work either)
<Edited by Moderator>

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Haunevriel
... how I can make my MBA recognize its iSight ...
If you haven't already done so, try all the relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight. Then test your iSight again.
If your built-in iSight still fails with EVERY iSight application that you try in EVERY user account you test, and if your System Profiler still does not show your built-in iSight as a USB Device similar, but not necessarily identical, to the one in this picture:
follow Apple's final Troubleshooting suggestion and contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
The reset process suggested in the troubleshooting suggestions corrects the problem for many iNtel Mac users. If it does not fix yours, given that you are having problems with your iSight, keyboard backlight, and disk free space, reinstalling your OS as suggested by your "Apple shop" might help.
If you need help on the quickest way I know to reinstall, disregard the parts about Photo Booth and follow the reinstall suggestions I made in this post to user jonathanmichael.
You should be able to perform an “Archive and Install" (A&I) reinstall in a couple of hours. However, you may need to make some room on your SSD startup disk before you begin.
You should keep the "Previous Systems" folder that A&I creates for a week or two while you test to be sure you do not need any of the info stored there. If you have made the suggested backup before performing the A&I, and if your MBA is working well by the end of your test, you can throw away the Previous Systems" folder and regain the significant space that it occupies.
