Skype is not detecting my Macbook Air built-in camera
My Macbook air built-in camera is not being detected by any third party application such as skype or google after I logged in to FaceTime for first time.
I tried all options suggested in Apple Discussion forum as well as online but it's of no use. Skype Audio/Video preference is showing "NO CAMERA" and it's same with google, manycam and facebook.
Please Help me with genuine solution.
See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Skype Calls not received when MacBook Air is asleep
My MacBook Air is running Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5 with Skype 6.14. Skype video calls are received normally with notification sounds as long as the MacBook Air is not asleep. It will also receive a video call one time while asleep if Skype has first been restarted. After that when the MacBook goes back to sleep a Skype call is ignored. I haven't been able to solve this by changing Energy Saver settings in OS System Preferences or anything in Skype Preferences. I tried deleting the Skype Preferences file plist but this didn't make a difference. Could this be related to the loss of Skype sound problem widely reported? Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Update - I ended up spending about an hour on the phone with a very helpful rep from AppleCare. He was also stumped by this problem. We ended up solving it by using a remote screen-share app that allowed him to see what my video card was sending to the external display, and he directed me over the phone to change the settings (quite funny really - it was literally "move your mouse up a tiny bit, now click, now left, etc).
So, my problem is solved for now, albeit in a very cumbersome way. Still amazed that there's no way to fix this properly. -
Skype video not working (2013) Macbook Air 10.8.5
I'm trying to do video calls with Skype with my Macbook Air but the video camera isn't recognized by the program. Other programs like Photobooth and Facetime recognize the camera, however. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fixing this problem? All other programs are closed when I use Skype and the camera isn't being used by any program. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have figured it out! You just have to install the new plug in to your macbook.
Download the AppleCamera.plugin provided.
Click on go in the finder menu, select go to golder and paste in /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/ ,
move that item, AppleCamera.plugin, to the trash
Go to your downloads folder and copy the new AppleCamera.plugin, then paste it in the folder where the old one was.
It works -
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... -
Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?
You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked. -
I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?
The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?
Resolved.

Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade. I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
Are others having the same problems?Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.
iOS and Yosemite -
Recently bought a macbook air and the camera doesnt work
Its super frustrating.
It did work once with skype, but after i tried using photobooth it stopped working completely and now it doesnt work on skype, googlehangouts and neither, of course, on photobooth. The computer is quite new and i attempted using the camera only a few times.
Any idea on what this might be?
Maybe something with updates?juliavalle wrote: Recently bought a macbook air and the camera doesnt work
iSight camera failure after OS X 10.9 Mavericks update might resolve your trouble.
If not, contact the retailer who sold you the new Mac ASAP. It may need replacement or repair.
If you bought directly from Apple on-line, you can Contact Apple's MacBook Air Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for help. -
