FaceTime Camera does not

• MacBook Air 11 Facetime camera does not

  A friends MacBook Air 11, model A1370. After the installation of El Capitan the facetime camera has stopped working (No. Camera work icon is displayed in all applications). I tried all the solutions I could find:

  • Reset SMC
  • Reset the PRAM
  • sudo killall VDCAssistant & sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant

  Nothing seemed to fix it, so we left in East. And then surprise, after I installed a Digital Camera RAW compatibility update the camera started working. But our happiness was short-lived, after having put the mac to sleep it stoped working again. I have tried everything but no luck.

  I suspect that there is a process that runs after an update is installed, that somehow erased the bug in the operating system and that was why the camera started working.

  Does anyone have an idea why a camera raw compatibility update started the camera, or why it does not work? Thank you.

  1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

  The test works on OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

  Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

  2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

  There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

  You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

  In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, anyone familiar with the code can check what it does.

  You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site several times over a period of years. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

  However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

  4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

  ☞ Copy text from a particular web page (not this one) to the Clipboard.

  ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

  ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

  ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

  These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

  5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

  You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

  6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

  7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

  8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name ("Terminal") in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

  9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

  If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

  If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

  10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

      Test started

          Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec

      The test results are on the Clipboard.

      Please close this window.

  The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

  Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appear - again, usually within a few minutes. If you don't see this message in about 30 minutes, the test probably won't be completed within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something.

  In order to get results, the test should be allowed to perform or be stopped manually as shown above. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved.

  11. when the test is completed, or if you manually stopped, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

  At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

  If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

  12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

  13. When you are finished with the test, it is gone. There is nothing to uninstall or clean.

  14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but all that you can not be. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

  15. the related UNIX shell script is a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.

• MacBook Pro FaceTime camera does not.

  Good day to all.

  First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

  I am having trouble with my FaceTime on my Macbook Pro retina camera (end of 2013). I have never use the camera for nothing because I use FaceTime on my iPad and iPhone, but when I open the camera and tried to use it, the green light flashes and is not solid. And photos on Photo Booth look like this:

  

  And of course, which should not happen. It is also better to say I got my screen repaired by Apple now for more than a year (24/03/15) where my anti anti-glare came out. I never tried my FaceTime camera since that because, as I say, I do not use.

  Y at - it all sorts of things to try to make it work? I tried to put on with the MagSafe in and holding D at the same time and that has not worked. Of course, I don't want to pay £282 for a new retina display just for a camera, I do not use. But also its obviously better to have everything working as it should in the first place.

  Thanks for reading and any suggestions are welcome.

  Thank you

  Mitch

  On your screenshot, yours is most likely a hardware problem.  Contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired.  When the repairs are finished, this time, ask the Apple tech to show you that the camera works before paying for the work and take the Mac home.

  Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

  xGrimzz wrote:... Y at - it all sorts of things to try to make it work?

  I would be surprised if your problem is correctable user because there is no serviceable parts by the user of the equipment.  However, if you wish, you can try these three additional things before seeking professional help:

  (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

  (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

  (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

  A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

  (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

  xGrimzz wrote:... I don't want to pay £282 for a new retina screen just for a camera I use... suggestions... Welcome.

  If you use not the camera, and if you experience any other problems with your Mac, it is certainly your option to use the Mac without repair.

  If you want to be able to use a webcam without spending the money for a whole new view, a compatible external webcam Mac might be a cheaper solution.  Be aware, however, that it is possible that the problem of your Mac can also prevent an external camera work.  Therefore, you might want to take your Mac with you and shop on-site.  Ask the retailer to let you try any webcam of interest to see if it will work with your MBP before buying.  If a known-working external cam will not work with your Mac, the material compensation is your only option to leave the uncorrected problem.

• Click camera does not

  Hi all

  I have a 6s model 64 GB iPhone.  For some reason, the click of the camera does not work when you take a normal picture.  If I have a filter or change a square photo, click works fine, its only when I use the photo without filter mode.

  I tried reseting all settings, by turning the lock/keyboard click and outside and adjust the volume of the phone, it just seems to not only work in the scenario above.

  Any ideas on how to fix or is this a known bug?

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello, you can try to do a hard rest before to backup your data.

• After the replacement of my iPhone screen 6, front facing camera does not work.

  If someone else that Apple will replace your screen they screwed up. If Apple has replaced your take screen back to the store.

• Camileo S10 camera does not remember the setting of the image stabilizer

  Hello reader Forum,.

  Is it normal that my Camileo S10 camera does not remember setting image stabilizer?
  I use mostly the 720px setting and stabilizing on but after that the camera is off the stabilizer is off again.

  Greetzz... Ben

  Hello

  This could be possible.
  I remember that the focus does not work if the stabilization has been activated
  So maybe it of the intent of the manufacturer that the stabilizer would be disabled again.

  Hello

  What happens when you start the webcam app?
  All programs-> Toshiba-> webcam

  Did you install other 3rd software part as for example the Skype that could access the webcam?

  Extra tip: go to BIOS and set it to default, save changes, and then restart the laptop.
  Start Skype for example, check the settings in Skype webcam chose correctly.

  It would be really interesting to know if the other software would be able to use the webcam.

  By the way: have you installed Toshiba face recognition? This software use and access the webcam as well
  Then sometimes it would be possible that this software could block the webcam and webcam tool could not work

• Satellite A215 S4767 Chicony USB 2.0 camera does not work with Skype

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767 with Vista Ultimate 32.
  I checked the drivers and they work, I have 10 Diretcx and it works.

  When I open the camera program, it works well.
  I put the camera program is not at initial start-up of laptop.
  I start the laptop, Skype open and figure that the camera does not work and say to check what I've done.

  Yesterday, I had installed the Skype 5.5.0.114 version and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

  Hello

  > Yesterday I had installed version Skype 5.5.0.114 and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

  This means that it is not software for laptop problem or a webcam, but maybe it s Skype related issue.
  You should check if the webcam has been chosen correctly in Skype video settings.

  If this does not work, uninstall the 5.5.0.117 version of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the registry using CCleaner (freeware tool) and then after reboot again to install the 5.5.0.117 again if not check the 5.5.0.114 a version that worked correctly in the past.
