issue with camera it says "there is no connected camera" in may macbook pro

I got that error from PhotoBooth, no connected camera.
After messing around with all the usual suggestions (reset PRAM, repair permissions, etc.), I tried plugging in an external USB camera (happened to be a ProScope) and - for no apparent reason - the internal iSight camera sprang to life and has been working fine ever since.
Worth a try - any USB camera should do it.

PS I hate punctuations

You may hate punctuation, but you'll find that many of the people with whom you try to communicate, including prospective employers, find it an indispensable aid to clarity and understandability. Without it you're just babbling formlessly, and whatever you're trying to say is so hard to decode that most people, including me, won't bother.

HT202008 I am having issues with my Window 7 on boot camp. My hardware is Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model and working on OS X 10.9.5. Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers.

I am having issues with my Window 7 on boot camp. My hardware is Macbook Pro Mid 2010 model and working on OS X 10.9.5. Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers. I installed boot camp5 but seem to be the wrong version and change to boot camp 4 which was updated okay. However I still cannot do the updates. Can someone advice me please? Thank you!

Please see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support for the appropriate version of drivers related to the specific version of Windows 7.

Be careful with Windows Updates, especially driver updates. Standard WHQL drivers can cause problems.

My Photo Booth is not working. There is no connected camera. Help, anyone?

I have been having this problem for weeks now and I hope some people here will be able to help me.
I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" about 6 months ago and I rarely use it because I still have my old MacBook with me. Recently, my Photo Booth won't work. It says, "There is no connected camera." Can anyone help me? Is there something to do with iSight? Tell me what should I do?
Help is much appreciated. Thank you.

The SMC reset often fixes your problem. Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.

"There is no connected camera" error

After updating to 10.9.2, I can no longer access the camera built in to my Cinema Display and connected to my 2009 Mac Pro. It fails to work in all applications I tried, such as Skype, FaceTime and Photo Booth. Typically, I get an error that says "There is no connected camera." I can’t say for sure that the update caused the problem, but I became aware of it shortly after doing the update. The camera in my similarly-updated MacBook Pro works just fine.
Here’s all the relevant diagnostic info I can provide:
• The camera is still listed as “Display iSight” in System Information
• The problem affects all user accounts, not just my main account
• Resetting the SMC had no effect. Restarting had no effect.
• Trying to kill VDCAssistant, either via the Terminal killall command or via Activity Monitor had no effect. In fact, it appeared that neither command successfully killed the two VDCAssistant processes I had going.
• Console is showing a steady stream of VDCAssistant crashes. A key part of the crash report states: “Client is attempting to access a display by index (1) instead of display ID. abort () called.”
• ONE THING DID WORK: If I restarted via a Safe Boot, the camera worked! This confirmed my suspicion that the camera itself (or its connection) is not broken. A software fix should be sufficient. I’m just not sure what to fix.
When I did a normal restart after the safe boot, the camera failure returned.
• I used Cocktail to clear the System Cache. It too had no effect.
If anyone can figure this out, I would be most grateful.

Hmmmm.... The camera is working properly on my 24" LED Display connected to my 2009 Mac Pro!
Did you try both:
(1) a restart Mac, repair permissions, 10.9.2 Combo Update, and another permissions repair and,
(2) OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X via the built-in recovery disk?

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.

My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

I have iPhone 4. I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7 because people have had issues with that. Is there a way I can just upgrade to iOS 6?

No, it is not possible. When upgrading the iOS on the phone, the only one you can install is the latest version, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.0.4.

I have an issue with my ipad2. There is a dialogue box open regarding connecting to hotmail and I cannot close it. Any ideas on what I can do?

I have an issue with my ipad2. There is a dialogue box open stating "Cannot verify server identity - Hotmail can't verify the identity of "m.hotmail.com" - Would you like to continue anyway?" I cannot close it close this box no matter what I press. As a result I cant get in to my ipad. Any ideas on what I can do? I have tried switching it off but this doesn't work either.

You need to force quit whatever is happening to you. Try a reset, reboot. Hold the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.
What may be happening is that the set up for your hot mail account is wrong or has failed, and if you have push or fetch turned on, one of the first things the pad will do is to establish contact, and check your mail. If it cannot get through because of the set up, it comes to a stop, wanting you to fix that problem.
If you have a wifi only, try to start up the pad where there is no signal. And if your have 3 g, turn it off. You want the pad to thing there is no signal, so dont try to look for the mail.
What happens if you push home from that screen? It should goto the home page. Then go immediately to settings, mail, and either fix the setting, or delete the account and start over. But turn off push or fetch until you get it sorted out.

my FaceTime says that there is no connected camera? Help Please

If restarting Mac does not resolve your trouble, try all the relevant suggestions (including testing more than one Apple camera application in more than one user account) from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight support article.
(Over time, 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.)
If your Mac's System Information utility still does not recognize your inbuilt camera as a USB device, you most likely have a hardware problem. There are no user serviceable parts of the camera. For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service. Unless you have a current backup, make one now. Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion: "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

Comcast (Denver) - Airport says there's no connection

I have a Time Capsule (fresh out of box) an Airport Express and an old Airport Base station. The express and base station have worked great for many years in my previous home network. I moved to Denver yesterday and now cannot get anything working. When I plug the comcast cable modem ethernet cable into my laptop(s), I get online right away. When I plug this same ethernet cable into any of my apple devices (all three), it says there is no connectivity. I have power cycled several times today. I've been on chat and phone support with Comcast that says it should all be automatic detection and that I need to contact Apple support because they don't support routers. If my laptop can get online, then Comcast will not advise on any other scenario. I have never had this problem with my Apple wireless devices. Do I just need to go to Frye's and buy a Linksys? Why is my apple gear not detecting an internet connection? I can't take this amber light anymore. I work from home and am dead in the water. Help!

About 1.5 years ago, I had problems with Comcast, airport modems and Time Machine. Airport modems and TM would work fine on DSL, but would not work satisfactorily on Comcast. While on Comcast, TM/Airport would report "can't find server" and would not allow access to common websites that I use frequently (USDA, EPA, doodle.com, skype.com, etc.). I fired Comcast and went with Qwest. Two weeks ago, I moved in with my girlfriend and she has Comcast. After 1.5 years of happy and reliable DSL access, I am not pleased to be once again having the same trouble as before. And, all of the suggestions to plug in, unplug, replug, and all that completely violate the plug and play utility of Apple products. Frankly, it's too much wasted time to have to do that every time I disconnect the laptop to leave and return to the home office.
I get better access to the net through a stick drive modem than through Comcast with Time Machine. It is clear that there is some sort of incompatibility between Time Machine, Airport modems and Comcast. In an effort to try and keep the girlfriend's comcast account instead of outright killing it, I've ordered a high speed upgrade (22-30 mbps) that includes a different cable modem for install on 23 Dec. But, I am not convinced that this will resolve the issues, especially if it is an incompatibility at the Comcast server level. After install, I'll try to access the sites that a Comcast modem-TM-airport config never lets me access, and if access is granted, yay, problem solved. But if access is not granted, then the technician will be leaving with the high speed modem and the old modem and I'll go back to DSL.
From a review of this thread and others like it, it this problem appears to be costing customers, Comcast and Apple lots of time, money and goodwill. I trust Apple, but think that Comcast is PC-centric and frankly does not care to invest in identification of the problem. If Apple won't make the warning, I would: If you own and wish to operate an Apple computer using Airport or Time Machine, certain unresolved issues with interface with Comcast cable modems may warrant consideration of alternative internet service providers.
Kind regards,
Doug

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.
