MacBook Air Camera not working since software upgrade

My camera has stopped working on my macbook air.  I am running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5  I have had a quick look on line and a site suggested I may have lost the file <QuickTimeUSBVDCDIgitizer.component> I couldn't locate the file on my PC.  Any thoughts??

  • Why my macbook air camera not working? Neither Photo Booth nor Face time.

    I have not been able to use Face Time, Photo Booth and Skype as the camera of my Macbook air is not responding? Any solution guys? Will appreciate the answers from the people who have experienced this problem and have solved it successfully.

    I had this same problem, and the way i have resolved it was by doing a back up for the Time Machine. Hadn't done that in 190 days and after I did it my camera work after a sleep for the first time in months.

  • Macbook Air camera not working or even being recognised in ANY application!

    I was trying to fix a problem with the camera on my Macbook Air because it was not working with my skype. After trying (not successfully) so solve this by following an online instruction, somehow I have made matters worse and now NONE of my cameras are working or even being recognised anymore! Somehow I think I have deleted or moved or done something to one of the plugins and can't work out how to fix this. Any suggestions?

    (1) Restart Mac, repair permissions, then download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo) (even if you have already updated.)  Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the Combo update.  Test camera function.  If you encounter a problem with third-party software like Skype, test more than one Apple camera app in more than one user account.
    (2) If your problem continues, use OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X Mountain Lion.  Then use  > Software Update… to verify that all your software is up to date.  Install any needed updates and repair permissions one more time.

  • Macbook Air camera not working with Jabber and Skype

    New Macbook Air (2013) and the camera does not recognize Skype or Jabber (Cisco product). Unbelievable that Apple does this but any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX:
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

  • Macbook air camera not working with Yosemite

    Hello,
    had the same issue with previous system 10.9. Question was answered and it solved the problem, only until I reboot the computer. Then problem appeared again.
    Installed 10.10.1 Yosemite and again my camera is no longer operating. I tried the previous method and used Disk Utilities to repair the permissions but it still does not work.
    Appreciate the help
    Vincent

  • My built-in camera on my MacBook Air has not worked since I bought it.

    I did not get the warranty so they would not cover the camera. The techs at the Apple Store couldn't figure it out and I do not have the money for a new one. Do any of you have advice?

    When you buy any Mac, it is covered for one year - including all hardware. So yes, they are responsible for replacing or repairing it.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Please take the Mac to  Apple store to have it checked out.

    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

    Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
    After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
    The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
    Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
    After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
    There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
    Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
    In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
    In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
    contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

  • Macbook air speaker not working

    I recently discovered that the right speaker to my Macbook Air isn't working... I've tried:
    checking sliders in Sound System Preference
    checking MIDI Utility
    zapping the PRAM
    resetting all prefs (using Onyx)
    removing the bottom to look for a loose connection
    Nothing's worked - anybody got any clever ideas how I might fix this (and, no - I don't have extended AppleCare). Thanks!

  • Macbook air either not working or working very very slowly on wireless

    At home I have 2 laptops: a macbook air and a compaq presario v6000. The macbook air is either working very slowly with the eircom broadband, or else not working at all. The presario works at a good speed and  is consistent. The air is fine on all other networks. Strangely, download speeds are normal nbut nothin else is normal.
    I'm running OS X if that matters

    Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
    It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
