Macbook 4.1 webcam not working

Hi, i have problem with webcam. i have installed firmware, loaded uvcvideo, and nothing. no /dev/video0
my kernel version 2.6.37, macbook 4.1

I'm on macbook 4.1 and the iSight has been working since the first time I installed Arch.
Have you done https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Macbook#iSight ?
Just make sure you have the extracted firmware
# ls /lib/firmware/isight.fw
and do a cold boot (not restart but shutdown then power-on).
I don't even have uvcvideo in rc.conf's MODULES() (but I got MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes")
Just a wild guess, have you try installing pommed ?

I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week.
Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
Fix:
With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you. But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

If the calendar is connected to a server account, like Exchange, you cannot sync via iTunes. You need to connect to the server on your MacBook.
If it is not connected to a server account then you need to ensure syncing is set up in iTunes. This is in the Info tab for your selected phone in iTunes.

HT2090 my macbook air camera is not working

My Macbook Air camera is not working when I try to use photobooth. I have no problem with google hangouts or skype. How can I resolve this problem?

• Restart your Mac. If the problem continues, use the Disk Utility in your Mac's Finder > Go > Utilities folder to repair permissions. Then test the camera again.
• If the your trouble persists,. reinstall OS X Mavericks. Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the reinstall and before testing the camera again.
• Also check your Mac's  > Software Update... or Apple - Support - Downloads for latest Mavericks updates applicable to your Mac model such as OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update.

Macbook 6,1 charger not working

Macbook 6,1 charger not working A1344
The Macbook is a 6,1 purchased in 2010.
My friend has had a go at the shooting suggestions but nothing seems out of sorts beyond it not working properly.
No damage or signs of misuse.
Ordinarily I wouldn't have thought a warranty would still apply but this paragraph on Apple support page made me wonder.
--- Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of the evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.---
When my friend took the Macbook and charger into an Apple Store in central London she was told it's out of warranty and best option is to just buy a new one.
Any thoughts regarding whether Apple has approved free replacement for these chargers?
She is in UK but machine was purchased in Australia
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
thanks
Jason

all sorted now - new charger given
turns out a bit of intelligent discussion yielded results
so .. if you have any problem with an older mac take it into an Apple Store
theres an excellent chance they will fix and replace even when the machine is out of warranty

Thanks,

you don't have to purchase acrobat pro xi. you can, but you can also use it via adobe's creative cloud subscription service.
to use it via cc, uninstall your current trial.
then go here and log in with the same adobe id used to pay for your cc subscription and start your acrobat xi download, Adobe: Creative, marketing, and document management solutions

Microphone and Webcam not working/Webcam not recognized by YouCam

Hello,
I have a dv7-6c95dx and my YouCam program tells me that it does not recognize my integrated webcam. I have read all of the webcam forums on this site and clicked on all of the links people have posted in the forums. I have uninstalled the CyberLink YouCam program and it still comes up with the same messages. The webcam also does not show up in my device manager. The microphone is malfunction as well, it will not work any any programs including skype.
I have heard that the webcam can come unplugged internally, will that also cause the microphone to stop working? I have run out of options and I do not want to pay anyone to fix it. I would appreciate any advice on this subject.

Hi DillOrNoDill,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Notebook and sound and microphone issues and Webcam not working correctly. I would be happy to assist if needed. Try these steps first.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
You could also try Microsoft troubleshooter located on your Notebook.
Here is a document on WebCam troubleshooting. The Webcam will be listed in your device manager under Imaging devices. You should be able to click the action button and scan for new hardware.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
