When open FaceTime and photo booth ,it shows no camera connection

when open FaceTime and photo booth ,it shows no camera connection

As just said there is no built in camera in the mac pro, so just what kind of "built in" camera are you talking about? Apple's 27" LED "built-in" camara?

When i launch photo booth it says the camera is in use

there are no other apps running so i know its not the case. also, the computer stopped recognizing my multifunction printer. i think the two are related but i don't know why or how to fix it. HELP!!

Have you tried restarting the computer ?

The SMC reset often fixes your problem. Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.

How do I connect camera in new BackBook Pro? Face Time says no camera connected; green light above screen is on

How do I connect camera in new MacBook Pro? FaceTime says no camera connected, yet the green light at top of display, by camera, is on.

Assuming you have set up your Preferences correctly in Skype, sometimes Skype doesn't seem to automatically trigger the camera. When that happens just click on the camera icon that appears at the bottom of the screen when making a call:

I cannot download photos to mine IPad2 with Camera connection kit

I cannot download photos who are on a microSD card and who have been taken with mine android smartphone to the IPAD 2 with the Camera connection Kit. The IPad says there are no photo's on the card.

Are you using an adapter with the card ? Also what format are the photos on the card - the card needs to have a DCIM directory off its root, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. the same format as if a digital camera had written them to the card

How do I turn the camera on? Can't even use photo booth?

See if this helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090

My camera will not work with Photo booth or any other camera application.

I have an iMac Intel 21.5".
Camera has always worked just fine.
Suddenly it has stopped.
The green light right next to the camera is on, but nothing is displayed on the screen (photo booth).
No error message is displayed either.
I have already tried the reset function (turn off, remove all cables and power cable for 10 sec, and turn it back on) but it hasn't worked.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Rogerya,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

My green webcam light will not turn off, when I go into photo booth, it says my webcam isn't connected

My webcam light will not turn off. It's been on for days, even when I restart and shut down my computer. It also will not allow me to use the webcam, it says that it is not connected.

I have a similar problem. The caps lock light stays lit. If I accidentally hit it, I won't be able to type anything for a few seconds, like the keyboard is frozen.
Strangely it doesn't seem to cause me to type in all caps. The light's on, but it doesn't cap lock.
Also strange is that this started happening recently, after upgrading to 10.5.7.
Any answers welcome - thanks. I think these may be related issues.

MacBook Pro 2011 - iSight HD camera not HD in Photo Booth

Dear reader,
I have the new MacBook Pro (2011 model), the 15" 2,2ghz with an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and 8GB of ram.
When I want to make photos in Photo Booth it says it's using the "Facetime HD Camera (Built-in)" but it does not make HD pictures. The picture size is restricted to 640 x 480 pixels and I want them to be HD so I can make pictures of documents and store them on my Mac.
I cannot find the solution anywhere. Do you know what to do?
Thanks in Advance!
Greetings,
Julius van der Kwast

I think this is a false advertisement as was the case with iPad back facing camera. Steve job called it HD camera but it is not HD at *all*. They did not mention the resolution, where 720p, 1080p?
It is just a better camera they are calling HD. Cheap advertisement.

Isight /photo booth Camera in use after downloading outside app

I downloaded some application for a hellokitty digi cam.
Now my photo booth wont open and my isight claims to be in use by another application.
I have tried deleting everything that could possibly be associated with the digital camera but nothing seems to work. how can I restart photo booth and get my camera to work?!

Welcome to Discussions, howvogue
If resetting your SMC ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 ) does not help, try the following in the order below:
(1) If you "deleted" by dragging things to trash on your own, the first thing I suggest you try is to see if customer support or the documentation for the non-Apple Software you installed has an actual uninstaller or specific uninstall instructions. If it does, you may need to reinstall the software in order to allow the uninstaller to work properly. After you have carefully followed the uninstall instructions, restart your Mac, use Disk Utilities to repair permissions, and test to see if your problem is solved.
(2) If not, or if you can find NO help on how to properly uninstall the software that caused your problem, restore your Mac's hard disk from the backup that you made immediately before installing "hellokitty digi cam."
(3) If you do not already have such a backup, backup all your MacBook's (MB's) important info now, erase your MB's hard disk, and reinstall its OS and applications software. Then, restore your data from your backup.
The last option will be a lot of work, but it should get rid of your MB's cat allergy.
Please let us know how it goes and what works. We will watch for your status update.
