I am having trouble with my mac camera. It is suddenly just not working in any program including ichat, FaceTime, and photo booth. I have no idea what to do.

For photo booth you simply have a black screen. Been told that re-install the operating system but will this wipe everything?

Yesterday I used head phones all day. I do not usually use headphones.Â
I closed the lap top over night and this morning the built in speakers are not working. But the headphone work.Â
I have rebooted several times. The red light in the head phone jack is not lit.Â
When the head phones are not plugged in the System Preferences Sound panel only shows Digital Out and says it has no output controls.Â
my mac os x v10.6.8 's camera is not working. I've tried Ichat, Skype and Photobooth. Whenever i open them up, it say 'There is no connected camera'.

I prefer to view PDFs in Safari. However, starting this morning, when I click on a PDF file it opens in Preview. I checked Cocktail to make sure I hadn't accidentally disabled Safari's built-in support. I hadn't. How can I re-enable it?

It is an early 2008 Intel iMac. Suddenly the Bluetooth logo changed to the one with the jagged line through it. Bluetooth no longer shows in System Prefs. In the hardware list under Bluetooth it now says, No information found.

I have a macbook 2,1, the white one. Has anyone else had their regular built in sound just stop working right after upgrading to snow leopard? I can get sound to play through headphones, but once I up plug them the little sound icon in the menu bar will grey out and I will not be able to get sound to play through the internal speakers.
If I go to the Sys Pref > Sound > Output Pane, it will say "The selected device has no output controls" in the Settings for Selected Device section.
I upgraded my girlfriends laptop to Snow Leopard even though she could care less. Now she's all mad cause the sound doesn't work.
I have an external iSight Web camera and want to use it with an iMac with a built in iSight camera. Can I disable the built in iSight camera and instead use the external camera?

On my desktop MacMini I have a Logitech USB webcam. As it is on a cable I wanted to use the Logitech with the MacBook. I plugged it in and it is recognised as an alternative by Skype, but not by Photo Booth or iMovie.
I want to use it with iMovie to make a short video of a maintenance procedure, but I can't find any preference setting that will discover the Logitech cam, let alone allow me to choose it.
Can I use the built-in camera on my Macbook Pro (circa 12/2010,OS X v.10.7.3) to record video? If so, what app to use?

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 installed 10.5.7 yesterday. Immediately after the installation was complete, my Apple bluetooth keyboard stopped working. Went into Bluetooth system settings, and it said that there was no bluetooth hardware found... (it's built into the machine!!)...
Also, every time I start iTunes, it gives some weird error about Adobe Flash player. I'm not at home now so I don't have the exact wording of the error with me, sorry...
I'd like to record myself speaking for use on a YouTube video.
How could I use the built in camera for this?
Is iMovie good for simple editing?
thanx

I know this may sound very elementary but there was no documentation with my Mac when I bought it new (except a thin flimsy pamphlet with very basic stuff in it) and the support menu comes up with nothing at all when I search for webcam, webcam or isight. Where do I go to learn about how to use the built-in camera/webcam as a camera and also as a webcam?

Since my last update in September or October (either to 10.9.5 or 10.10), I lost all built-in camera functioning. This past weekend, I updated to 10.10.1 (what a complete nightmare - that's another discussion) and still have no camera functioning.

can anyone tell me if the built in camera on the new imac is capable of capturing video? can this only be done in ichat? i figured out how to take pictures using photo booth but i figured there must be a way to use this camera as a webcam without video conferencing or chatting. any suggestions?

My Macbook Pro has been having some problems with the built in webcam recently. It shuts itself off if I tilt the screen while using it (then the laptop tells me that there is no detected camera), and now, for the nth time, is not being recognized by my Macbook at all. I've done the special restart a few times in a row now (the one where you hold down the left Shift-Control-Option and the power button), and it still doesn't work. I went under System Information and the camera wasn't even detected there. What should I do?
