When maximising the window in Facetime, my camera stops working and the other person cannot see me. Any solution?

Hi there, since I installed Mavericks, when I am having a video conference with Facetime, and I maximize its window, the other person stops seeing me (my camera turns off.
Is this a bug? or do we have any solution to this annoying issue?
Thanks!

Hi cpfrances,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can take to isolate and troubleshoot the issue with your built-in iSight camera:
How to Troubleshoot iSight
http://support.apple.com/kb/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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cheers,
- Ari

  • WHEN USING FACETIME, THE OTHER PERSON CAN SEE AND HEAR ME BUT I CANT HEAR THEM AND THEIR VIDEO IS A STILL PICTURES.. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS???

    When using Facetime.. the other person can see and hear me, but I can't hear or see them.. Does anyone have any solutions?? The only thing I can see is a still picture of them

    Hi mduggan,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    You can find these steps and more information here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:

  • When making a cellular call the other person cannot hear me. FaceTime + Skype Work OK!

    Hi Guys,
    I have an iPhone 4 (non 'S') 16GB Black.
    I have the most strangest problem I've ever had on iPhone (I've had every gen so far).
    Here is the problem:
    I make a standard cellular call and the other person is not able to hear me. If I make a FaceTime call though, the person can hear me no problem. I tried Skype too and that is OK also. So I know the microphone works, just not over cellular network.
    I tried the sim in another iPhone I have access to. (iPhone 4S) and calls work fine on that one. So I know it's not a network issue.
    I'm absolutely stumped by this issue.
    I have tried the following:
    Backing up my phone, entering DFU and re-setting back to factory, then restored from backup. It worked for a little while (maybe a week?) then the problem happened again.
    I backed up my phone again and did the DFU reset but instead of restoring from backup, I ran with a vanilla phone for a while - this time it didn't last 2 days before it went silent again.
    I have since DFU'd and Restored my phone 3 more times again but it has not cleared the issue this time - the problem is now constant it seems.
    Over the past 3 months, I have restored, reset my phone to get rid of the problem many times, each time with different results. Sometimes it works for a while, other times it doesn't fix the problem.
    It sounds hardware related but I keep coming back to the thought of "well if it works in FaceTime, it can't be hardware". But if it's not hardware, what is it?
    Any help on this one is very much appreciated.
    P.s. no, it's not muted

    no setting need to be changed. you may try these steps http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180

  • Macbook Air (mid-2011) Facetime HD Camera stops working after waking from sleep

    Hi, for the past week or so (no more than a week), my computer has not been able to connect to my built-in camera. I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air (running version 10.7.5) and a Facetime HD Camera (version 6.46). I don't usually restart my computer unless I am having issues with it being slow or freezing and so usually just close the top of my laptop when I am sleeping or at work. When I wake my computer up and attempt to use Skype, Photobooth, or Facetime, I cannot connect to the camera. Restarting my computer fixes this issue but that's as far as I've gotten since I am not very tech savvy and do not want to do anything to jeopardize the data and documents stored on my Air (I'm in school so losing anything would be very stressful for me). I have gone into the System Information in my Utilities folder and my camera is listed under the USB tab but my computer refuses to connect unless I restart it.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  • Bridge 'get photos from camera' stopped working and Bridge won't recognize my DNG files anymore

    So, I've got Bridge set up to get pictures from mem.card whenever I insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed Sony's PlayMemories. Without asking me it hijacked Bridge's task of getting pictures from my cards. What's worse, I tried to fire the 'get photos from camera' function manually from Bridge. Bridge starts working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset Bridge, also told my laptop to run Bridge whenever I insert a card. Still nothing happens and I still can't get the 'get photos' function to run manually from Bridge. Anyway, I can still rund the DNG converter to get my pictures, but today Bridge won't recognize my DNG files - worked fine yesterday. I downloaded CS6 from this link https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html  and tried to run the installer, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I need to do a full uninstall off CS6 for it to do anything..?  Anyway, if any of you guys could help me with my Bridge/CS6 issues I'd be grateful.  I've got 3 sets of concert photos and a snowboard comp. shoot I need to finish this week 
    CS6 running on windows 8.1

    Re-install of PS CS6 resulted in the following errors:

  • When I go to tools then options firefox stopes working and freezes

    when I go to tools then options Firefox freezes and I have to go to task manager and end task to close Firefox and it has been like this for a long time. I just had my computer in the shop and had them go over everything and when I got it back it worked ONCE then stopped again ?

  • Camera Stop Working and Appear Pink Screen

    I've bought my iPhone 5 last year by the month of May, for the first few months, my camera randomly appear blue screen when i tried to take photo. But i ignore it as it doesn't occur often.
    Recently, it happened for numerous time and the sometimes the camera wouldn't load and stay black. When i'm trying to take a picture, half of the screen went purple and I can hear clicking sound from the lens and it restarted.
    What shall i do? Should i take it in the Apple Centre or is a common problem?
    P.S. My phone felt extremely hot when i'm using camera. My dad and my sister iPhone doesn't have such problem.

    I've reset and restored my phone but the problem still occur. It doesn't always happen but I managed to snapshot the problem twice.
