My mac book air camera doesn't work

I know this has been answered probably thousands of times, ive been trying to get this thing to work for a while, ive tried everything, I followed steps from other sites, reinstalled adobe flash and tried messing around with the flash settings. My camera works perfectly fine on Skype, photobooth and ichat/facetime. When I'm on a site like tinychat it asks me if I'll allow access to my camera I click on allow ( The only 2 options are allow and deny, no options or anything ). Still the camera doesnt work my mic does but not my camera. If anybody had this same problem and found a fix, Id really appreciate it if you could tell me what to do. Thanks!

• If you have not already done so, restart Mac and use AndyO's
    good suggestion. If the iSight still does not work, continue.
• Use the suggestions for built-in iSight from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
Be sure to test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.
• If these suggestions do not help you, (are you certain that you
   used the correct "reset" procedure?), yours is most likely a
   hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
   Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

Hi Nobimon,
Thanks for that I had missed that.
FaceTime is an iOS video app for 1-1 contact that has been "transferred" to the Mac OS.
A Beta version was available for Snow Leopard and it then came in Lion and is present in Mountain Lion.
Facebook run a Jabber server for their "chat" option.
There is a setting, apparently, on people's Facebook Settings to Enable it.
The ID can then be used in iChat or Messages.
Most of what I had read on this suggested it was Text only.
It is possible that in a web Browser they may use Flash to do Video Chats
Google Used to then created their Own Video Plug-in that strangely causes issues with a Flash Plug-in being used at the same time.
Google's plug-in uses the Jingle protocol to connect Video chats.

HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac contact-list. Please Help!!!!

ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac contact-list. Please Help!!!! thanks

First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If most of them are gone, then they are gone.
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers. So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted. There are many reasons for this. One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device. How to get them back? Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases. Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the data files back to the computer. Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

Mac book air (2013) doesn't start

Hi,
my mac book air doesn't start anymore. I used it yesterday, put it on the macsafe charger and took it off when the chargerlight went green.
Than, when I wanted to start it. Nothing happenend.
I used all the tricks. SMC reboot, shaking it, push all the buttons, tried everything I could find on this apple forum.
nothing happens, no sound, nothing.
Currently i'm on a world trip, so no apple support close for the next months
I really hope somebody can give me some advices...
I hope it will work again in a couple off days like other MBA owners with the same problem.
ALL your suggestions are welcome!

Did you reset SMC?

MAC BOOK AIR CAMERA

Hi Everbody..I was wondering if using my apple device I'm able to check the inner webcam of the other one.. practically when i leave my mac book air in one room of the house can i see using for example my i phone or my ipad the room images?Yosemite

One way, depending on whether yours is compatible hardware use the relevant info from iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage. If you use separate Apple iDs for Mac and iPhone, you should be able to call one with the other.

Installed a wireless canon Pixma MX432 printer back in November for use with my Mac Book Air. All was working normally until this past week when I began getting a message, "printer not connected." What is going on? Netgear Wireless N Router seems to be ok

My new canon Pixma MX432 printer is not printing. It was printing fine until about ten days ago. I use a Netgear Wireless N router, which is also new. What do I need to do. I get a message when trying to print that says "printer not connected." In addition, my old Gateway laptop will still print fine apparently because it has a cable connection to the printer. Puzzled!

Have you tried rebooting the router? I would unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Be sure you know the password etc. if that doesn't work, try unplugging and rebooting the printer. Good luck!

The usb ports on my mac book air seem not to work

So, they do but it seems selective. On my 2008 iMac I would plug in my thumb drive and it was near instant but on my MBA ill plug it in on the right side and it rarely works but my mouse works fine there. On the left side it takes a few seconds then it works but it seems longer than my older macs. This computer isn't old about a week old, so ideas. Its not a mounting issue it dosen't show up in the disk utility, until it works.

New mac book air CAN NOT install win7 ?!

I just bought new mac book air (1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 )
Try to install win7, when go to win7 installation interface, the mouse and touch pad doesn’t work. ( I did try USB mouse, same).
BUT
I use same usb on my old mac book air ( 1.3GHz ) it works fine.
I called apple, a very nice lady tell me i should call Microsoft, because if mouse and keyboard works fine in MAC system that means the hardware is fine.
Is somebody have some idea about this ?
Thanks a lot !!!

If this is a 2nd hand Mac, some of those apps were free to the original purchaser, the Apple ID you saw, but they are paid apps for you.

HT1338 I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air. I used to be able to. I downloaded osx mountain lion and it still doesn't work. any suggestions?

I cannot open any pdf files on my mac book air. I used to be able to open them. It was suggested that I get OS Mountain Lion and I did. still can't. Any ideas?

You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com. The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader. If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files. Hope this helps.

I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:

Hello Kian,
This may sound silly but if you put your hand over the isight camera, do the lights change on the keyboard?
