Macbook built-in Camera Not Found: Facebook video chat

Hi Experts,
I purchased Apple Macbook Air 2013.
The buit-in camera is not detected while facebook video chat.
But camera works with Skype video calling. Camera is also detected while I want take a picture in facebook.
I already installed latest available Adobe Flash and gave permission to "ask" for camera to be used in the Adobe Flash Player properties from "system Preferences".
I have gone through all realted threads, and none of them seem to work for me. Built in camera is not detected during google hangout video calling also.
I suspect I have to "allow" the camera to use for facebook and google plus chat, but it does not give me prompt as it gave while I accessed facebook "take a photo".
Can any one help?
Regards,
Sujit.

Front facing camera not working for video chat on Revolution

How come the front facing camera doesn't work on Tango? I wanted a new phone with FFC to use on Tango and for when Skype goes video on phones and it seems it don't work on Tango. Is it just Revolution or is it the same on all phones? I don't need a FFC phone to take pics of myself I have had no problem doing that on other phones, would love the feature to do what it is supposed too.

Hi bulldog69!
To answer your question, some of those video chat applications have additional 'plug-ins' that need to be downloaded from the Market as well. Just search for "tango" in the Market and see if anything pulls up. If this is not the case, try to uninstall and re-install the application from the Market. I recommend trying another video chat app to see if that works as well. If you can take photos and video with the FFC, there's no issue with the device.
Hope that helps! Keep us posted.
Thank you!
Well we have two Revolutions and i tried the uninstall and reinstall and no good. Couldn't find any plug ins.
What other video chat apps do you know of that might work? Tried Fring and tha was junk. Thanks for any of your help that you give me

Why won't my camera work in Facebook video call?

Have a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks. When I tried to use the video call feature in Facebook, it told me I didn;t have the necessary java to execute the install. I downloaded the file suggested online (Java for OS X 2014-001: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start features) and the install went through. However, when I try to make a call it connects, I can see the other person's video and hear her/him but my camera does not activate (No green light. Person being called can hear me, but no picture appears for them). FaceTime works fine. Skype works fine. Google+ Hangout asks me to give permission to use camera, but hangs up. I also tried to make a FB video call in Safari and that did not work either (same problem).

Because something is wrong.
You've done well determining that there is nothing wrong with your Mac or its Apple Software.

HP Mini 110-3700 built-in camera not working

I just bought my HP Mini 110-3700 (LV831PA#UUF) last january. I just tried using the HP camera twice to check if the image it captures is clear. Yesterday, i will use the camera for a video chat but the messenger said "Cannot detech the camera/ device is not connected).When I had clicked the link for the HP Camera it had open but the light indicator didn't have any light and the camera isn't working.
I already tried restoring the HP mini to factory settings but after that, the camera isn't working still. What should I do? Need help ASAP.
Thank you!

Facebook video chat on Macbook with Snow Leopard-Experience???

I have a Macbook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Safari for browser.
I'm looking for users of the same who have used or tried to use Facebook video chat and would love to know if it was a good experience or were there any problems and if so what were the nature of those problems?
Thanks,
Janie

No Sir, I am not having problems with FaceBook and this Granny isn't taking a survey or poll. I gave all the information I did so that I could get the proper "help". I am not planning to upgrade to Lion and thus cannot have iCloud. I have moved my mail from MobileMe to iCloud but I am not sure that I will be able to use my iChat once MobileMe ends on June 30 and I am looking at alternatives to staying in touch wit my children and grandchildren. I am limited in knowledge but I do know that some apps from FaceBook arent's so good. I want to be sure that I don't download anything that would be incompatible with my Mac and my version/browser, etc. Just trying to avoid problems and keep my Mac in good working order. I thought there might be somebody out there that would know the answer to my question.

In-built Audio device not found

Hi Guys,
My macbook pro suddenly finds no audio device inbuilt. And i can play no sound nor hear start up sound when switching on mac.
I get a 'no parking' like symbol beneath my audio options.
I've tried rebooting in safe mode, Resetting PRAM, Repairing permissions in disk utilities, use my ipod touch headsets, headphones.. NOthing worked.
And i'm feeling deaf whenever using Mac now.
Is there anyway to get the audio back ?
Thanks,
Raesh

Hmm.. Okay. Would give it a last try.
And I have a couple question before doing that..
1. I did the hardware test and It gave me this error .. " 4SNS/1/C0000008 :TPCD--24 "
But When i looked up for this error, it tells me a sensor problem. Not as Audio device problem. Do you think this hardware error of 'sensor' has something to do with audio ?
2. So in-built speaker isn't working, plugging in headphones cable isn't working. But i was wondering whether a bluetooth speaker would be recoganised in the system preferences > audio output device ? Will it work ?
Because i keep on reading that an " in-built audio device not found " problem is a huge one and it costs a lot to repair. They often provide solution of changing the whole logic board (Keeping fingers crossed). And with my warranty period over, I don't wish to go through that path. So want to know if external bluetooth speaker has a chance to get recoganised as an audio device, Then I would buy JBL bluetooth speakers. It seems good and less pricey than changing the whole logic board.
Let me know which way i can go, Thanks in Advance Man.

Firewire camera not found in MAX on Windows 7

Hi all,
Used to run a firewire camera on Windows XP with no problems. Using version 8.6 and do not want to change this if at all possible. New lab PC runs windows 7 and firewire camera not found in NI MAX. The drivers associated with the camera are NI-IMAQdx IIDC...
NI-MAX does not even show a NI-IMAQdx camera and there is no way to add such a camera. The same issue arises for an AVT Guppy camera suggesting it is not camera dependent.
Has anyone any suggestions as how to rectify this. We have full development software v8.6 with all the appropriate drivers and modules required as it previously ran problem free on an XP machine.
Cheers,
leeser

Hi Leeser,
Which version of the driver did you previously have installed under Windows XP? It would be worth trying to re-install the latest version of the NI-IMAQdx driver. You will be able to install the Vision Acquisition Software 08.2010, which works with LabVIEW 8.5 and later (and installs NI-IMAQdx 3.7).

Facebook video chat problems

i heve problems with facebook videochat. the people can see me but i can't see no budy. thanks for your help

Well the good news, Safari is most likely not the problem. The bad news, I think there's some confusion on what version of what you're running. So let's go over some terminology:
1.) If you're running OS X 10.6.x then that's Snow Leopard, if you're running 10.7.x that's Lion and if you're running 10.8.x that's Mt. Lion.
2.) If you're running Safari 6.x.x then that machine is on at least 10.7.x (Lion). Safari 6.0.2 is the latest and greatest version so that's up-to-date. Is the laptop running Lion or Mt. Lion?
3.) The iMac is running either Snow Leopard or Lion as Mt. Lion can't run Safari 5.1.7 but the OS is irrelevant for the purposes of troubleshooting as 5.1.7 is the latest version.
There's no mention of troubleshooting in Facebook video chat's documentation other than the standard and customary. I downloaded it on a 10.6.8 machine running 5.1.7 and it fired right up immediately. I do know that it runs on Java and there was a recent-ish Java update. So that'd be the next thing to check.
You can try downloading it and installing. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

Is facebook video chat in Ipad4 supported by Apple?

I got an Ipad 4 and want to use facebook video chat but can't find a video sign at all in any page of my facebook.

Apple has nothing to do with any features of the Facebook app - that app is made by Facebook and questions regarding its use should be directed to Facebook.
However, as far as I know Facebook have not yet implemented video chat in their mobile apps.

Video chat using face time with facebook video chat

I have windows 7 64 bit and ipad 2 and a mini ipad. I have cousin in Italy who uses Facebook to video chat using her web camera on her desktop/laptop. I would like to know if I would be able to chat with her via video if I am using Facetime on my ipad 2/mini ipad and she is using Facebook on her desktop/laptop.
Would that be possible if so, what are the steps. thanks.

FaceTime will only connect to another Apple devcie (iOS or OS X) using an address registered via Apple ID.
You might consider Skype. I don't know if it would connect to a FaceBook video chat, but she should be able to download and use it as well.

Where are the microphone settings to allow Facebook video chat?

I loaded Facebook video chat last night. I can hear & see the other person; they can only see me, but, cannot hear me when I'm talking. I tried looking at System Preferences, etc., w/out success. Can someone help me?

No settings needed just use the HDMI adapter.
