ISight on Macbook Pro not on focus

Hi there, i'm experiencing an annoing issue with my built in iSight: is not on focus, with every application i try, Facetime, Photo Booth or whatever, the camera is not focused.
This is what System Information tells me:
Built-in iSight:
  Product ID:          0x8507
  Vendor ID:          0x05ac  (Apple Inc.)
  Version:           4.19
  Serial Number:          8H92G01W040Y3L00
  Speed:          Up to 480 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer:          Apple Inc.
  Location ID:          0x24400000 / 2
  Current Available (mA):          500
  Current Required (mA):          500
I've downloaded iGlasses but i didn't get the point on what this application could help me out.
Any suggestion from your side? Is the Camera gone?

Thanks for the reply.
So, assume that iSight is fixed focus, there is no way to get focuused image with mine. i think it has some problem.... maybe some compatibility issue with 10.8?

  • Hi, how do i stop my macbook pro not to automatically connect to a wifi connection that is not my preferred network? i want to automatically connect my macbook to my preferred network everytime i turn on my laptop. thank you.

    hi, how do i stop my macbook pro not to automatically connect to a wifi connection that is not my preferred network? i want to automatically connect my macbook to my preferred network everytime i turn on my laptop. thank you.

    System Preferences > Network > WiFi
    To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network your computer will attempt to join first.

    Hi there nina777s,
    You may want to try resetting the PRAM and SMC on your Mac as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Why will macbook pro not go to sleep with Lion OS?

    Why will macbook pro not go to sleep with Lion OS?

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
    Step 2
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
    Step 3
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
    Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
    Step 4
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
    Step 5
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
    Step 6
    Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    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.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

  • Macbook pro not displaying music library: What do I need to do to show music files in Library? They are not showing up.

    macbook pro not displaying music library: What do I need to do to show music files in Library? They are not showing up.

    If you click View, Show Sidebar you will see the other libraries under Shared in the left hand column. Click on the Library you want and you can expand it to select Music, Movies etc. Select whatever items you want and click import if you want to move them to your Library.
    You will have to have all computers authorised with the relevant Apple ID's
    Store  >  Authorise this computer...
    This is separate from the Home Sharing username and password and is to allow playing of DRM Movies, TV shows etc from the other computer.
    If both Computers use the same apple id this step is not required.

  • Macbook pro not working without battery

    my macbook pro not working if i remove the battery
    & if the battery is empty my macbook pro not working before charging

    Try an SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    You should not run on AC with the battery removed. The MBP should work that way, but the OS throttles back the CPU so running like that is not recommended.

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

    I thought I could sync "transfer" Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2.
    Am I trying the impossible?
    What am I missing?

    I read in your More Like This
    Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac
    But ,,, When I Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked
    "Notes" ,,, is NOT checked ,,, and I CANNOT check it.

  • Time capsule only seems to work with my macbook pro, not vista. (wifi)

    So I received my TC today and set it up. Everything is working perfectly except the new wifi network I created only works with my macbook pro, not my other laptop that has windows vista installed on it. It only works with vista when I take off the password from the network. When it's on, it says something about the settings being invalid for that particular computer. I think it has something to do with the WPA2 encryption.
    Any suggestions?

    Nobody?

    If ink or paint etc goes on to my macbook pro (not on screen) what can I do to clean it

    Look into iKlear Polish Cleaning.  Do a Google search for others.  Or call an Apple Store or an AASP & ask for their recommendations as they are "Apple" professionals and should know the best & better products.

    I used to be able to watch net flux and hulu on my macbook pro not it the sites will not open, what is wrong?

    What happens when you try?
    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • External iSight on MacBook Pro - but not in iChat!

    Hello all,
    I'm considering the purchase of an iSight camera on ebay to use on my MacBook pro.
    Does the Mac fully recognize the camera across all applications? For example, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, QuickTime Pro, etc., etc., etc.
    Does it recognize it along with the built in one for everything? Is there a way to set it in the preferences as the default in case a given application only recognizes a default camera rather than giving me an option?
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Aaron
    I'm considering the purchase of an iSight camera on ebay to use on my MacBook pro.
    Even if the iSight you are buying through an internet auction site is a NOS (new, old stock) iSight, it may not be covered by Apple Warranty. If the seller is not providing you service guarantees or warranty, you may be interested in considering Apple's iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions.
    Moreover, if the one you buy is used, you may also want to be certain whether the connectors, cables, and mounts that meet your needs are included.
    Does the Mac fully recognize the camera across all applications?
    It does for Skype and the apps (caveats as listed) in this list of Some Applications You Can Use With iSight. The only way to really know whether an app will work with iSight is to check the System Requirements for each application you contemplate using with a webcam.
    Does it recognize it along with the built in one for everything? Is there a way to set it in the preferences as the default in case a given application only recognizes a default camera rather than giving me an option?
    Some applications allow you to switch between multiple cameras when you have more than one connected. Such apps would let you select between your built-in iSight and an external. iMovie and iChat AV are two that do this. See the documentation for other apps to determine whether they have the ability to select between multiple connected cameras.
    I know of no way (or need) to set the preferences for a default camera. Applications that will not allow switching between multiple cameras will recognize only the one their software expects. Apps that do allow switching will let you choose which you want.
