I've got the late 2008 Aluminum MacBook.. For some reason the camera stopped working and is not even registering on Photobooth.. I never dropped it badly and there is no real reason for this to stop working.. does anybody know of an easy fix?

I have OSX 10.5.8. In the past, I was able to use PhotoBooth, but now when I open it, all options to take a photo are grayed out. The screen, where, I believe, previously I'd seen whatever was in the built-in camera's lens (generally whatever I put in front of the screen to photograph), I now see all black with a white camera icon crossed out. Skype works fine though. When I try to load iChat, it crashes unexpectedly. For clarification, I'm using the built-in cam and do not have external camera hooked up to it. I don't really care about iChat, which I never use, and am very, very glad that Skype, which I do use, is working. However, I would very much like to get PhotoBooth working.

I bought this iMac G5 on ebay like half a year ago. The camera never worked when I got it. Then today, my sister was telling me to get it fixed. She tried using photobooth. Then idk how many times she launched photo booth then the light turned green! It worked for like a second.. when she moved the monitor, there it is again "the camera-not working icon".

Apple calls the camera built into the MBA a "FaceTime" camera instead of an iSight camera. What exactly does this mean?
From my understanding, the available APIs from Apple only allow the iSight and FaceTime cameras to record at the same resolution (VGA 640x480). However, the iSight camera is capable of 1280x1020...does this mean the FaceTime camera isn't?
it's the subject of my next YouTube video and demo.

I took pictures of myself with my MacBook Air Facetime camera(right) and with my MacBook Pro iChat camera(left). I've noticed that they are quite similar. However the MacBook Pro pictures seem to be shot at a higher resolution and size. Which one do you guys think is better?

I have a early 2011 macbook pro running os x lion 10.7.3 and my camera will not work when i open facetime it says ' there is no connected camera' i have searched all over the forums and internet to find a solution but none of them have worked. i know its not a hardware issue as the camera works if i switch to a different user and also works if someone calls my facetime the camera will load up. problem is the same with photobooth etc.

I recently downloaded FaceTime Version 1.0.2 (166) for my MacBook running running OSX 10.6.8.
Every time I start the App it has a message on it that says "There is no connected camera". My MacBook has a built in camera and mic.
how to make FaceTime recognize the built in camera? Im not sure how to set those preferences...

I have a MacBook Air 2011?Sometime, after a long standby, it wakes up with the built-in web camera disconnected.Facetime, Photo Booth, and Skype does not detect the camera, whilst for some reason, Google Chat inside Chrome actually sees it and is able to use it. Looking at the "About This Mac" I can see that the web camera is detected. However I am hoping that I don't have to keep rebooting it just to do a video call on skype.

My Apple MacBook Air (OS X 10.9.3) is saying 'there is no connected camera' in both Photo Booth and FaceTime despite having a built-in integrated camera. The camera worked until I updated my laptop software I think. I have tried both the troubleshooting suggestions as given on the site and I have reset the SMC.

My facetime was working fine until recently it asked for a login and this time when I did login with my Apple id, it prompted for email verification. However it is not able to complete the verification and keeps giving the following error message : Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again.
I have checked the support forums and they all point towards preferences. Problem is that the preferences option for face time is grayed out and I am not able to use them.

Surely this is a pretty standard feature in laptops now, particularly with Apple's obsession with iPhoto etcDoes it come as an option?How do you get your pics off your camera? You have to connect a usb cable from the laptop to the camera?

I wonder if with regards to accessing FaceTime on multiple devices. We have a number of Mac products (iPad, iPhones and Mac Book Pro) at our house, all connected to one wireless network. Some of these devices can log into FaceTime but others cannot (notably the MacBook pro), using the same Apple ID details. The error message I get is that I should check my network connection. However, the connection is fine, and other devices have no problems with connecting to Facetime.

Every single time I open Photo booth the damn thing crashes. When I try to open it the second time, it usually opens fine. (Sometimes freezes). It's always the first time I try to open it and the damn thing crashes. It's driving me nuts.

I've always been on the site for new news but have never signed up but I just got a macbook pro and I love to play with photobooth so I downloaded extra effects from the site. Well I am having problems with it. Its like the pics are in high contrast and its annoying. Heres an example: Before you ask, yes I changed it to 32 bit.

I recently purchased a used Macbook 13" for my daughter. It is less than one year old. She wanted all of her user data from our family computer to be transferred to the new machine. I transferred her user file from our 2005 iMac G5 that does NOT have a camera (don't know if this is relevant) through firewire and the migration assistant process. Both machines were running the latest Leopard and were both up to date.
The transfer went perfectly and was even successful in getting rid of the prior owner's name that would show up all over the place. The one thing that my daughter found is that the Photo Booth app would take pictures but not save them in the tray. It just would not work. I read some threads and dropped the preferences file for the app and rebooted the machine to no avail. I did find that Photo Booth would work in the Root or Guest accounts, just not in the account that was transferred from the old machine. Last night she was taking photos and videos using the guest account. They all saved in the tray, but when she went to log out a warning came up saying that logging out would cause all data to be lost. The pictures were all gone.
I received a response already from a tech on this site. His advice was to run a series of commands in my "terminal" none of which worked. I am new to this site and did not know how to get back to him. I decide to try again. It is really weird, as this is the only thing that is not working properly.
