ISight problem for a MacBook5,1 (2009)

I have a MacBook5,1 (2009) and all of a sudden the camera does not work.  help!

Restart Mac.  If the problem remains, try all relevant suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
Be sure to test more than one camera-enabled  Apple app in more than one user account.
(BTW--Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • ISight problem, time for repair?

    iSight suddenly stopped working. No green light. Won't work in iChat, Gmail, or Photo Booth. Message "No camera connected to this computer". I followed the advice given here. Restarted. I checked Utilities >> System Profiler >> USB and saw iSight listed (though it said "not configured yet"). I reset the PRAM, went back to System Profiler and now iSight doesn't show up at all.
    Does that pretty much exhaust my efforts? Time to bring it in?
    Many thanks in advance,
    rob

    You've tried some good things, Rob. You may be right that it is time for service.
    For any iSight problems, first try restarting the Mac. If the problems persist, try all relevant suggestions from:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    If your iSight problem still occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there (PMU/SMC for your MacBook) often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
    However, if your built-in iSight still does not work after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, and if iSight does not show as a USB hardware device in your Mac's System Profiler utility, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    BTW - I note that your posted system info shows Mac OS X (10.4.7). If that is correct, unless you have compelling reasons for not doing so, I suggest you backup your Mac and apply the 10.4.11 Combo Update:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172
    For more info on how to install and benefits of updating, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901
    I recommend you use your Mac's Disk Utility to *repair permissions* immediately before *_and again_* immediately after the update. After repairing permissions, use your Mac's  > Software Update... menu command to apply any additional needed Apple software updates.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • ISight Problem - cant use it anymore while not beeing recognized...

    hello,
    the well known classical problem. no application can recognize my iSight any longer.
    had done the recommendings from apple support site without any success. sometimes the isight works - for example one time in 3 weeks - than again not.
    i am angry about the fact that apple dont create some patch or whatever to solve this problem. any other suggestions instead of this:
    http://www.codium.co.nz/isight_fix/
    which had worked for me one time?
    so i pay a lot of money for this macbook pro and cant use it completely. but yes - it looks sooooooo nice.
    great job apple guys, much more bigger job - mr. job. so solve this problem. i am not the only one if you just use google for one time.

    You have not tried all recommendings:
    Final relevant suggestion from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    "If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
    ...sometimes the isight works - for example one time in 3 weeks - than again not...
    Intermittent problems like yours are usually caused by hardware problems. Regardless of whether your MBP is still in warranty or covered by AppleCare, your AASP can fix your MBP.

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

  • External iSight problems revisited

    My original post here: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10805558
    After further research, I actually have the exact same problem detailed in this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1014900 ("Your camera is in use by another application" error message persists after exhausting all troubleshooting options)
    I went to the Genius Bar with my iSight thinking it needs a firmware update. The Genius found out he could not apply the update unless he was booted into 10.3.9, and their OS install disks did not go back that far. So I went home and clean installed 10.3, the 10.3.9 Combo Update, and all other updates listed in Software Update (including a fresh iSight Updater 1.0.3!) onto a new partition in my Mac Mini G4.
    After attempting a firmware update and looking at /Library/Logs/iSightUpdater.log on my 10.3.9 system, I believe the reason my iSight is not recognized is that it cannot read the Serial Number or Firmware Version of my iSight, and therefore does not add it to the device list. Here are the Console messages from iSightUpdater.log running on my 10.3.9 system:
    2010-12-11 13:09:10 -0800: iSightUpdater was launched by Finder.

    "Couldn't read serial number" happened after I turned the iSight on. "DEVICE REMOVED" happened after I turned the iSight off and unplugged it from the Mac Mini. Notice that the Serial Number and Firmware Version were not retrieved by the system. The system recognizes that an iSight has been plugged in, but will not release it for use with other applications since its Serial Number and Firmware Version cannot be determined.
    My iSightUpdater.log file dates all the way back to when I updated my iSight's firmware to 1.0.2 and 1.0.3. For comparison, here are the Console messages for those updates:

    Aha! The Serial Number and Firmware Version were present in both of those updates, and I didn't need a firmware update after all. It seems that somewhere between the last firmware update and now, the iSight forgot its Serial Number and Firmware Version numbers -- or the last firmware update inadvertently flashed those two pieces of information from the iSight's memory.
    I think if I could plant those two numbers back in the iSight's memory, I think I could get it working again. Problem is, Apple doesn't support scheduling repairs or Express Lane callbacks for the external iSight. Sooo... I, and all other external iSight owners with this problem, are stuck.
    I'd love to get this repaired and use my external iSight with my Mac Mini G4. I just wish there was a next step, now that I have potentially identified the problem. Any ideas out there? I don't want to pay $150 to receive a reconditioned iSight for what appears to be a much simpler software/firmware fix. I do live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so driving to Cupertino and handing off an iSight for a quick repair by an iSight engineer would be an easy solution for me.
    Thanks for listening, and I hope that this post sheds some light on other people with persistent "Your camera is in use by another application" error messages.

    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12263773

    Hi,
    I am not going to override EZ Jim's advice on this as I do not know any way of recovering the lost Serial Number of Firmware version the devices is currently at.
    Mostly it is for other readers but may provide clues.
    The iSight Updater for Firmware 1.0.3 is included in the OS files as a Standalone Updater in Leopard
    It seems it is also activated if the camera is Plugged In when Software Update is run. (I don't have enough info if it is specific 10.5.x Updates or just a General thing that happens.)
    It is also present in the same place in 10.4.11 (I do not have copies earlier that this of Tiger that I can check)
    In Use By Another Application.
    It could actually be so.
    Check:-
    Comic Book if bundled with your Mac.
    System Preferences > Accounts > Changing the Account Pic can invoke the camera for A Snapshot.
    Any other app that can capture Video or a Pic. (iMovie, Quicktime Pro in Leopard and below, PhotoBooth. Don't forget Image Capture or your Browser if using Flash Chat sites or using the Google Broswer Plug-in installed in Chrome or as a Standalone (Intel only) and many others)
    Check that in System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items does not list any app that can use the camera.
    It seems that if an App that uses the camera (and was using it at the time) "Unexpectedly Quits" the System in general will think the camera is still in use (Possibly because that app's .plist will say it is)
    The most common fix for this if you cannot find which App is using the camera is to do a SMC/PMU restart. (this link has three expandable areas that look like Links near the bottom of the page for various Macs).
    Most Times the System will catch which apps have "Crashed"/Unexpectedly Quit and they are recorded in a Log. Open Console in Application/Utilities and then the Reveal Triangles to see ~/Library/Logs/Crash Reporter and see if any app is listed.
    SEEK ADVICE on deleting .plists if you think you have identified the culprit, as doing so for some apps is more destructive than others.
    Summary so far.
    The Genius could have done it with a Tiger Install or Leopard Install Disk.
    If you have a Retail Copy to do your Updates or either you can invoke the Update yourself (Providing you can get System Profiler to "See" the camera correctly)
    A SMC/PMU reset maybe enough to "Clear" the System of what Apps it thinks is using the Camera.
    There are some unexpected places and apps that can cause or actually use the camera.
    A Fresh Install, as seems to be the case here, would have created a new set of .plists anyway.
    I would also suggest that any other Firewire device is removed.
    The External iSight should not be Daisy Chained with other items such as External Hard Drives as they run at different Data rates.
    If you have a Computer with tow of more Firewire Ports I would suggest trying another port.
    Some Towers have Firewire ports front and back and these have separate Firewire Controllers. This may isolate whether it is a Firewire port issue.
    USB and Firewire Ports can be reset if the Power is removed from the computer for 15 Mins (power removed if a Laptop as the Firewire ports can still be active if the power cable is still connected)
    I will state again that in this case I think EZ Jim has the right, quickest and simplest answer.
    I have posted this mainly for other readers that may have something similar but not quite the same.

  • Output channel mapping problem for surround encoder

    vista 64 bit
    sound blaster titanium x-fi sound card
    logitech 5.1 speaker set up
    hello, i am trying to mix a movie i made into 5.1. when i open the surround encoder, go to the audio hardware setup and try to set my output channel mapping i only get two speakers. i have a card that supports 5.1, 5.1 speakers, and get surround sound when i play a DVD. yet audition only recognizes my left and right speaker. any help on how i get my output channel mapping set correctly?
    thanks in advance!

    Thank you for the info, though I admit I'm still a bit confused.
    My card is a creative x-fi extreme gamer.  It has 3 line out jacks and one line in jack.  T  Oh, here it is in the manual...thats just not good enough.
    But what is the surround encoder dialog box doing, if not encoding surround mixes?  The manual says I can exportsurround sound from a multitrack session.

  • There is  problem for every client.

    Dear Experts,
    There is  problem for every client .....
    Their inventory is valuated by FIFO method and they use Serial numbers on each and every transaction for their business.
    As per the system the valuation at Delivery is taking by the FIFO method.
    The customer has a requirement to get the inventory value based on the serial no. Is there any way to get out of this situation.
    The Item FG001 is bought at 100 unit price with Qty 2 by having serial numbers Q1,Q2.
    In the second transaction
    The Item FG001 is bought at 120 unit price with Qty 2 by having serial numbers Q3,Q4.
    As per the system if we create delivery document for the same item with qty 2 by giving serial number selection with qwe3 and qwe4, the system is taking the value for the items as 200.
    But, my customer wants it to be as 240.
    Is there any way to solve this.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Massive wireless connection problems since airport client update 2009-001

    Hi,
    I have a brand new MacBook Unibody 2 GHz with 4 GB RAM and an OSX installation up to date. Since the update of the airport client software 2009-001 on March 4th, I have MASSIVE problems to establish a working wifi network connection.
    I use as APs a D-Link 614+ with up to date router firmware, a ZyXel Wireless Lan Router 100 (some ISP bulk router from my provider) with up to date router firmware and an AVM 7170 Wireless LAN router with up to date firmware. The last one is extremly expensive and state of the wifi art.
    First of all, I can not establish a stable connection to no one of my wifi routers. After entering the passphrase for WPA, an established connection fades out in 20seconds-3minutes. And trying to establish a connection lasts minutes! Mostly OS X is telling me "Out of time". But in wireshark there is in due to my research mostly no packet transfer over the en1 wifi device at all! The airport card sometimes is fooling around with me!
    I tried serveral configurations with all my routers differing in encryption (Wep->Wpa->Wpa2) or TTL of the packets or whatever the router is configurable. But I could not solve this problem for me.
    Wifi is like dead.... not working reliable... or not working at all.
    I have also used Wireshark to get into this problem. With start of an connection with EAPOL, it lasts serveral seconds till the airport card replies to the AP. Airport should response in milli seconds.... but no!
    Then DHCP handshake sometimes finishes succesfully, but the airport card turns the correct ip address into a wrong ip address.
    MacBook: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.0 Request "give me an ip"
    AVM Router: 10.255.128.1 to 255.255.255.0 ACK "TAKE 10.255.128.25"
    You would think the airport card would take the given 10.255.128.25, but no it takes 192.168.0.100 and can not establish an internet connection, OF COURSE!
    What the **** is the airport client firmware doing while takeing the wrong IP adress, which is not given by the DHCP Server?
    And I have also discovered, that the airport card is sending out tons of ARP requests like:
    MacBook: MacBookMacAdress to Broadcast ARP "who has 10.255.128.1?" (my avm router)
    AVM Router: AVMMacAddress to MacBookMacadress ARP "I am at ....."
    But hey, the airport card seems not be able to understand the avm reply and requests again immediately uncountable times!
    Apple, please fix your airport client software. It seems to me the parser within the firmware for packet parsing has some kind of dead locks or sth else.
    This are just three hints for the firmware developers.
    PLEASE FIX THAT!

    I don't know if this will fix your problem or not but it fixed my airport from self assigning ip's instead of taking the proper one.
    Florida dude from this thread http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=24540&page=5 says
    "I've been having the "self assigned IP" problem now for a bit. It all started when I let the battery run down, and I've been working with it now for a couple of weeks (except it affects ethernet AS WELL as airport).
    I've found a temporary workaround. Go to Security in network preferences, and select firewall. Then select "allow all incoming connections". Go back to the preference pane, and select network. After about 15-20 seconds, it DHCP should assign a good IP. Then go back and reset your firewall.
    Works ok, but if your Mac goes to sleep, you need to repeat."
    Give it a shot, it worked for me.

  • Hard drive beachball problem for the 17"

    Ok, so I know that there is already a few posts about this issue, (including the very large 96 page one) but I wanted to start a post for those of us with a 17" MBP that are having the same issues.
    I was on the phone to a senior technician at Apple (Australia) today for about 2 hours trying to sort out this problem. Firstly he was a bit hazy about the issue to begin with assuming it was a RAM paging issue. Seriously, this thing has 4gb of ram, I think you would have to running so much stuff at once for it to legitimately run out of ram. I'm a web developer/designer so I can push the machine reasonable hard sometimes but I get the beachballs even when I only have safari and mail open. This is the fastest (stock) laptop Apple have ever produced, surely it can handle a bit of stick.
    So I suggested it could be the hard drive/firmware etc and mentioned about the large amount of people on here with the exact same issue. After looking into some internal documentation he noted that there was indeed similar problems happening around the place but he seemed convinced that this only applied to 13" and 15" models and that the 17" never got the 1.7 firmware update.
    After looking at the firmware page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 it seems maybe he's right. I can't see my boot ROM version there anywhere (MBP52.008E.B05) The mid 2009 model 17" isn't on that list.
    Whilst my friend at Apple is reasonably sure that my issue is software related and wants me to watch the console when Im having the freezing, I'm positive that I'm having the exact same problem as the 13 and 15s.
    Can other people with 17" MBP that are having the same issue please post here so that we can begin to build a case for Apple to acknowledge the problem for our model too? Please add whether you have installed a 3rd party hdd or whether you are having the problem despite only having the stock hdd like me.
    Thanks guys.

    soniktrooth, count me in. I am experiencing the same problem myself - I just recently posted over in the mega forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10222616#10222616
    There is a chance that the hard disk could be at fault I guess, but the symptoms of this problem for me are remarkably similar to what I've read in the 96 page post, and on the macrumors forums. To summarise:
    * the problem usually begins when I'm playing iTunes all day, and then I'll go to save something, say in TextMate, and then iTunes stops playing.
    * Any app you then try to switch to while the freeze is there will then just beachball itself.
    * Like you, I know this is something out of the ordinary, since iTunes rarely stops playing music, and hardly ever did on my 4 year old G5.
    * I can make the problem go away by restarting and zapping the PRAM. All day today my computer has been fine, but I suspect that sometime tomorrow it'll probably start all over again.
    * My drive is a factory Hitachi 5400 RPM drive... what do you have?
    * My boot ROM version is the same as yours too.
    * I have 8GB of RAM in this machine, so I'm pretty **** sure it's NOT a paging issue for me. paging issues never last 20-30 seconds though, that's absurd if anyone claims that is the cause... also, the hard disk doesn't really crank noticeably while the freeze is there.
    I'm wondering if there was some sort of revision too for this model that may be causing this. Seems unlikely that Apple would have changed the motherboard between the january model and this one, but I'm not sure if this is absolutely confirmed...

    Hi all, I upgraded my MBP to Lion , but on the screen where i need to type my password, click  on my photo and it does not appear the place for me to type my password and it stay stuck there. Can anyone solve this problem for me?

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.
