What should I do if the camera's not working and mac can't find it?

The camers's not working. When I open Photo Booth there's a line says "Camera is not turned on". The same thing in other programs deals with camera. What should I do?

You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

Adobe Reader is free; it does not require a subscription.
Did you subscribe to an online service like ExportPDF, PDF Pack, ...?

My ipod mini si not working and I can't find the answer.

My ipod mini is not working. I have done all the R things. It won't switch on unless I toggle the hold key, once switched on it asks me to choose a language but pressing the select button does nothing. Can it be saved or should I throw it in a heap with my Dyson vacuum?????????

It's no longer under warranty? Rather than throw it away, there are 3rd party repair site here in the UK (iPod Doctor is one).
Might be worth a try because it seems like a hardware issue rather than software.

I updated my iPad 4 iOS 8.0.2 and the camera does not work, ... Please help

I updated my iPad 4 iOS 8.0.2 and the camera does not work and hangs and unconnected, .... Please help me in this question,... Thanks in advance

You're welcome, but I didn't do anything. Try closing the camera app completely and reset your iPad and maybe that will help.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Having tried all the ways possible to get it working, contact your retailer again and politely tell them they did not yet satisfactorily resolve your trouble. Their Apple-Authorized Service Provider will be able to repair it.

HT4285 my ipone 4s is only 2 months old and now the camera is not working at all , may i get a replacement new handset ??

Dear Sir,
Im pay monthly customer via O2, and i got my iphone4s at the end of Feb, and now the camera is not working at all...I ve been using iphone for years. Had iphone3 and 4 for past few years and never had problem with camera, this one its the 1st one, and i feel very inconvenient with the such a good phone but couldn't use the camera at all.

Just talking to fellow users here. Call applecare or take it back where you bought it. It should be in warranty.

Could you go to (in Photoshop) Help>System Info>Copy and paste here in its entirety? Also, if there is a crash report paste it here as well.

HT1338 What do I do if the superdrive is not working on my mac

What do I do if the superdrive is not working?

It might help if you could give more information. Is it with all disks, some disks, reading, burning, what?
What are you trying to do with your superdrive that is not working?
Also you could look in Disk Utility and see if it shows up.
If your mac is under warranty, you could bring it to the apple store and have them look at it and or replace the drive. If it's not under warranty, you could try replacing it yourself.
Or you could replace it with a SSD.

There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum. When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

I scanned an item from my computer to my documents and it said then scan was complete. However, when I searched my documents the Item was not there. Where can I find the item?

Where can I find the item scanned?

Most scanners default to Pictures folder or the Desktop.
If you select All My Files and Arrange by Date Added you should be able to find the file.
If you turn on Show Path bar and Show Status bar for your Finder Window under View in the Menu bar, when you select the file you will see the path of the file in the bottom of the Finder window.
