Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

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.

  • Can iphone 4 make video calls using skype over 3g?

    Hello,can i make video calls on iphone 4 using skype over 3g network?

    Yes, Skype can make video calls over 3G. You do NOT need to jailbreak your phone. I believe the previous poster thought you were asking about FaceTime which does not work over 3G.

    I have the exact same problem.  I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work.  The earphones work, but the controls don't.  It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached.  Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

    Not on an Apple device, no.
    Things are not the way popular movies and TV shows would have one believe.
    Apple goes to extremes to ensure your personal information remains protected, to a far greater extent than any other consumer product manufacturer on Earth.
    Your FaceTime videos, Messages, and everything else you do with your iPhone are as secure as your iCloud credentials.
    Anyone with your iCloud or Apple ID credentials has complete and unfettered access to everything associated with them, equal to that of your own, so keep them secure. Never divulge them to anyone you would not trust equally with your wallet, your girlfriend / boyfriend / spouse / child / Lamborghini etc.

  • Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting.

    Why can't I make any calls on facetime, the call drops after saying connecting for a few seconds. I'm using an iphone 5, 32 GB on IOS 6.0.1 over 3G network in Muscat, Oman. Just to be clear, I was able to make facetime call in Muscat about a week ago.

    Then all you need is an external compatible webcam with your Mac Mini.  Skype is currently compatible with your Mac and operating system
