My macnotebook air cam dose not work

my cam built in macbook air dose not work in anyway
mainly started not working in yahoo meenger and skype
now face time and photo booth

Take it to an Apple store to be repaired. The screen will need to be replaced as just the camera can't be replaced by itself. If it a newer unit and or you have Applecare and it is less then 3 years old it will be covered by the warranty. If it is older and or you do not have Applecare then the repair will be at your expense.

  • HT2090 my macbook air camera is not working

    My Macbook Air camera is not working when I try to use photobooth. I have no problem with google hangouts or skype. How can I resolve this problem?

    • Restart your Mac. If the problem continues, use the Disk Utility in your Mac's Finder > Go > Utilities folder to repair permissions.  Then test the camera again.
    • If the your trouble persists,.  reinstall OS X Mavericks.  Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the reinstall and before testing the camera again.
    •  Also check your Mac's  > Software Update... or Apple - Support - Downloads for latest Mavericks updates applicable to your Mac model such as OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update.

  • Re: camera dose not work

    I have the same problem with my mobile Nokia E75  and I've tried both ways and it did not work 
    my camira still not working and i don't know what to do ???
    please help .

    @naroh
    Can only suggest that you backup all essential data, return device to "out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user). Failing that try re-installing existing software with Nokia Suite and at this point you have eliminated software corruption as a possible cause and visit to Nokia Care Point would be needed for possible hardware related issue.

  • Camera dose not work

    Hello,After I update my Nokia N8 to Belle I noticed that the rear camera does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get a black screen and the menu keys.But when I switch to the front camera, it works prefectly, but when switch back to the rear camera, it still doesn't work!Any soliutions on fixing this problem?

    Hi shadisj,
    Welcome to the Nokia discussion boards!
    What you could try is two resets, first of which is a soft reset and does not delete any data. To do this, enter *#7780# into your keypad and when prompted, enter 12345 as the passcode. This will reset settings within your device.
    If the problem still persists, try a hard reset, but back up your data before doing this because it will removed all data from the phone. To do this, enter *#7370# into your keypad and use the same passcode.
    Note: putting the phone to offline mode before performing a reset would be advisable.
    Hope this helps.

  • My macbook air camera does not work

    I have a macbook air 11" mid 2011   running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1  
    I need to use the facetime camera, but it says no camera is available. 
    what I have done (6 hours or research and grief later):
    After reading a plethora of forums,  I have tried:
    Migrated from OSX Mountain Lion to Yosemite..  will definitely fix your problem.   no good... 
    Installed the latest update...  yep... 
    used the disk Utility repair again just in case...   yep...   still no good.
    restarted the computer...  yep.       no good...
    open a terminal and type         sudo killall VDCAssistant
    yep that was a waste of time...  its not even on my laptop.  
    the USB camera is not in the System Information USB Tree. and under camera it says no video capture devices were found.
    Found a really helpful UTube video which suggested I Kill off a Parrot thingy...   wasnt even in the devices list...
    I have read through the plethora of forums on this problem even further... there are literally thousands of them.
    The most popular answer which Apple appears to provide is:    and by the way you keep running into this suggestion...
    One of these will fix your problem:
    (1) If restarting your Mac doesn't fix the problem,                          (NOPE  didnt fix it..)
    (2) use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090                      (NOPE  no help...   as:
    did the use Disk Utility to repair permissions thing..   yep...  still no camera...
    the USB camera is still not in the System Information USB Tree.
    (option 3 applies to me...   cant see the camera in the USB...  
    no suggestion on how to resolve that ...  but there is a (4) so I tried that...  
    I reset the SMC ...   guess what...   still no camera...  
    The camera used to work...  
    ...............................................................................      My thought and question of Apple is below  ...................................................
    I am thinking the port on which the camera communicates is disabled in the new software version, or it is reassigned to something that is in conflict with it.  The USB connection is set at the manufacture level to something which is not being detected now.
    CAN APPLE PLEASE ADVISE ME WHICH DEFAULT PORT THE CAMERA IS CONNECTED TO AND CONFIRM THAT IT IS NOT DISABLED BY DEFAULT
    Please dont tell me its a problem with the camera...   I could probably roll back to the old software, and my system would work just fine...   this has been a total pain in the neck...   and has cost me many hours...  
    Yes I am going into the Apple store tomorrow... another two hours out of my life...  probably to be told its a hardware issue and they need to take it away and charge me money to fix it..     but I will take it there and decline to pay any money.   It is out of warranty and probably not essential to the laptop to use.   It s frustrating that there is no easy fix to this problem despite the plethora of forum articles and posts by thousands of people experiencing the same problem.
    There is no way Apple can stick its head in the sand and claim its a hardware issue.  
    I have tried to look for a built-in USB camera driver for Apple Macbook Air...   good luck with that...   If the old system driver was about,  perhaps someone could check the communications ports and work out where this problem actually sits.

    There was a final outcome...       Apple determined that the IO card was faulty and they replaced it under warranty..      The camera is working correctly
    i cant argue with the results...     The card replacement has reliably fixed the problem.   
    SO my final recommendation for a solution is
    check online to make sure you can get an appointment at your APPLE shop.   
    Book the appointment so you don't waste 4 hours...   
    Check that your machine is in warranty.      If not, the repair cost to me was $85 aus...    Still not too bad considering this issue cost me 14 hours of research and a further 8 hours travel time...   
    BAck up your computer and open the password to protect your regular one.  Then...
    take it to Apple at the appointed time.     MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP YOUR MACHINE...
    WAit 5 to 10 days based on how busy they are...          If they say your card is faulty, it's hardware and no amount of fiddling about with software is going to fix the problem.        I could have saved 18 + hours..    
    Replace  the IO Card Fixed this issue...       It has not failed since getting the computer back.

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...
