My camera/iSight is apparently disabled--can't use Skype or Photo Booth. How can I fix this?

I went to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler/USB and do not see camera listed. Based on an earlier found on Support Communities info, I tried shutting down, holding control-option-command and power button, letting go, then powering on again. No luck. Any ideas appreciated.

Check out the following thread:
my isight camera is not working-not recognised with photo booth or ichat
=========== 
To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again.  Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • I just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

    i just updated my mac and when i went to open iphoto it says it "can not open because of a problem" how do i fix this?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • My ipod message is "ipod is disabled try again in 21,565,420 minutes" How do I fix this?

    My tween's ipod message is "ipod is disabled try again in 21,565,420 minutes"  How do I fix this?
    I"m far, far, far from a techy!  Thanks!

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you dod not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    This is covered in the manual and you can get that here:

  • I can't find my photo booth how can i download it again?

    i can't find my photo booth how can i download it again?

    You might want to check first:
    Go to Finder, click Applications, and make sure photo booth in not there. If not, then find the OS X features (programs) disk that came with your mac. It will allow you to install it from there. If you have lost it, you can try to download and install it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?fnz1mjjmjmz
    I have not tested this, but it looks valid (the comments were positive).
    First try to install it via the DVD that came with your mac

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?

    i deleted my photo booth how can i get it back?

    OK, here are some step by step instructions:
    1. Open a Finder window.
    2. In the Finder window on the left side you will see a folder that says Applications. Click the folder.
    3. Click the Time Machine icon in your Dock and wait for Time Machine to open.
    4. On the right side of TM  you will see a time line, click a date that you know the Application was still there and wait for TM to go to that date. You will see the date in the bottom center.
    5. While in the Applications folder scroll down until you find Photo Booth and then click Restore in the bottom right.
    At that point Photo Booth should be restored and working. If it isn't then make an appointment at  your local Apple Store and take the machine in. They will help you restore the application. If you don't have an Apple Store in your area contact an AASP or call Apple Care for some help.

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • My ipod touch 64G doesnt do allow me to do anything in music app. But I can use all other apps.  How do I fix this?? Plse help me:(

    My ipod touch 64G doesnt allow me to do anything in my music app. I cant even play music or select anything.  But I can use all other apps.  How do I fix this??? PLS Help me:(

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

    You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card.  Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.

    Hello there, Confused Apples.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some step-by-step instruction for changing the email for your Apple ID:
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
    Go to My Apple ID.
    Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
    Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
    Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
    When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
    Remember to update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.

  • Loaded iOS 8.3 now I can't log into iMessage or Facetime, how do I fix this?

    Loaded iOS 8.3 now I can't log into iMessage or Facetime, how do I fix this?

    I am having this issue on my IPAD running 8.3.  Can't log in to facetime or iMessage. Cannot turn the apps off and back on (per online suggestion).
    I assume Apple has decided that NO ONE should be able to turn these apps off.
    Does anyone know whether Apple has acknowledged the issue or is doing anything to resolve it?
