  • Built in iSight is no longer working after hard drive was replaced

    I have a 2008 MacBook Pro that has served me well up until recently.
    I had my hard drive replaced about a week ago and now I've noticed that my built in iSight is no longer working.
    It doesn't work with any application or on any user.
    The green light no longer comes on.
    I noticed this the other day on my gmail account, no longer showing the camera icon next to my name when i'm online.
    So I tried pulling it up on photobooth and ichat etc...no luck.
    What should I do?
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Take your MBP back to whoever replaced the drive and ask them to resolve the rest of the problem.
    (Before taking it in, make a current backup if you have added ANYTHING since you got the new drive)
    If you want to try some things on your own before you take it back for professional resolution, here are a couple of relatively simple things you can try:

    Welcome to Discussions, babybella03
    (1) If merely restarting your Mac does not correct the problem, try all relevant suggestions from:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (2) If your iSight problem occurs in more than one app and more than one user account, the reset suggested there often restores proper function of inbuilt iSight.
    (3) However, if after carefully following all the suggestions in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight" article, your built-in iSight still does not work, and if it does not show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    (4) If your iSight is working with Apple's apps but you are still having difficulty with a video-enabled website (like "myspace") while no other apps are using iSight, your browswer's Flash plug-in settings may need to be configured to allow your iSight to function with there. 
    To determine whether this is your problem, navigate to the video website of interest. If you do not immediately see a pop-up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" dialog box, put your mouse pointer over the video window that is playing and control-click. This should open the dialog box.
    Adjust the "Settings" in the Flash dialog box as follows:
    • Click on the webcam icon.
    • Select the "USB Video Class Video" Camera setting.
     (External iSight users would need to set the webcam camera setting to "IIDC Firewire Video".)
    • You can then click on the microphone icon to set your "Microphone," "Record Volume," and "Reduce Echo" settings.
    • You should also click the privacy icon and verify that the "Allow" button is selected.  If "Deny" is selected, you will not be able to send or recored video or audio.
    • Close the dialog box and see if the video website works for you now.
    If the above does not solve your problem, see the website help or FAQ section to determine how to make this site work with your system. Many live video sites have unique requirements. The FAQs or Help links at their sites should give you the best answers for your compatibility, configuration, and operating questions concerning their particular operations. Some of these sites offer email or live chat technical support or their own dedicated user Discussions fora to provide help using their particular websites.

  • I have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    Greetings,
    What happens when you drag it?
    Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
    Click on the movie file and go to File >  Get Info and note the "size"
    Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
    Also note the format of the drive you are copying too.  If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
    Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

    i have problem with firefox , it wont loud , the dose not come up , and it frizzes ? i even re-install the program but it wont work:( any suggestion would be helpful , thanks
    i cant login anywhere as all my passwords are saved in firefox, i cant even access teh firefox preference to get my password, it's so sad

    You likley have a corrupted Firefox preference or other support file in your User/Library folder.
    Programs load these files from the user account to adjust to user specifications, instead of having multiple copies of the same program on the machine.
    So when you reinstalled Firefox, it reinstalled the progrma only and the user support files remained from before.
    To prove this point, use System Preferences to create another Admin account and log into it, Firefox should run like a charm.
    To remove the Firefox support files from the problem user account your going to need to locate these files and delete them one at a time and try FF again and again.
    The first one you shoull try is your FF .plist file located in your User/Library folder.
    Clicm on the Finder and use the Go > Go to Folder and paste this
    ~/Library/Preferences
    and press Go.
    Now scroll down until you see the Firefox or Mozilla .plist file and Trash it, quit and restart Firefox, it will recreate the preference file with default settings you will have to reset it.
    Next run through the list of fixes #1-13 here before proceeding.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    If you need help deleting other FF files, download the free Easy Find from MacUpdate.com and search for anything "Mozilla" or "Firefox" in your User account only and take your chances you hopefully won't delete your password file in the process.
    You should have site passwords written down someplace and locked up tightin case you need them, a computer isn't totally safe and reliable.

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.
