My internal camera doesn't work. How do I fix it?

When I go to use applications such as photo booth, facetime, or skype, it shows that the camera is unavailable. Last time I checked my internal webcam was working just fine. I didn't drop my macbook or do anything to it. How do I fix this?

You may be having a physical hardware issue so take it to the Apple store if you are in warrantee. You can use a digital home button if you go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch>On. Also make sure you quit your apps (double click home button and hold and hit the minus sign. No available resources will cause the home button to not respond.

jotapepea,
You may have a look at the list below. The easy ones are at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Internal camera doesn't work after Firmware Update

Hi everybody,
I had some troubles after updating the Firmware to version 1.1 on my MacBook (the black model). Since the update my camera (the one mounted on top of the screen) doesn't work any longer (it keeps capturing a plain green picture) and the led near the camera is always lighted. Is there anyone who had the same problem? Any idea to solve it?
thanks
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
problem solved restarting with OptAlt+PR

I installed the new iOS 5 and now my text messaging doesn't work, how do i fix this?

i was wondering if this is a hardware problem with my phone since it is a refurbished one, or if it has happened to other people as well.

How are you trying to accomplish these two tasks?
The correct way is as follows:
Camera zoom: pinch with your fingers like you do when viewing pictures.
Camera button in lock screen: Double-tap on the home button while in lock screen
If you are already doing it that way and it doesn't work, then maybe someone else here has another idea.

Toshiba Laptop Webcam/Mic doesn't work, how can I fix it?

It just won't start up, it's simply a black screen rather then my face. I also get a message saying that a USB device is not recognized?
I've looked into the Device Manager and uninstalled the Webcam Driver and restarted my computer. Still doens't work, infact now it doesn't even recognize that I have a webcam anymore at all. I thought restarting my computer would reinstall it.
Also, I don't know the particular model number of my laptop but I have the original box so I can guess at what it could be. PSK98C-00F001 is probably it but looking it up on http://support.toshiba.com/ says that it's not valid.
How do I fix this?

Hi MarwanDiamond ,
Still doens't work, infact now it doesn't even recognize that I have a webcam anymore at all. I thought restarting my computer would reinstall it.
Have you tried resetting the bios?
Click HERE - Reset the BIOS to factory defaults settings. This will allow you to re-detect all components inside the laptop including your webcam.
BTW: Once you are inside Setup Utility [BIOS] go to Advanced > System configuration > WEB CAMERA must be ENABLE.
Click HERE - How to troubleshoot webcam.
Hope this works for you!
BTW IF YOU THINK IT HELPS ALOT. PLEASE DONT BE AFRAID TO CLICK KUDOS star ^_^

My iPod touch 5 front camera isn't working, how do I fix it?

My I pod touch 5 front camera isn't working. How can I fix it. I have also already tried to reset it multiple times.

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
