Q: isight camera not working after OS X mavericks Update

I have the same problem.  I have an iMac and after Maverikcs install last night, i can no longer use photobooth or Facetime as it says camera is not connected.  I've tried all the trouble shooting online for a few hours with no luck.  Can anybody help (with something different other than re-set the SMC approach)??

I too have the same problem. I upgraded my MacPro 8-core to Mavericks today and then was unable to use iSight with Skype. Big bummer as i Skype frequently on this machine and love the iSight.

I actually just got my iSight to work by updating Skype to the latest version. Facetime is also working for me.

This is happening for me as well. Skype and Photo Booth both say I don't have a camera, and If I open up System Information and look under Camera it says "No video capture devices were found."

UPDATE:

I followed the instructions for resetting SMC here and it actually cleared up the issue for me. My built-in iSight is now working again.

Hi there,

 

I have just updated my MacBook (5,1) 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 to OS X Mavericks.

 

I've noticed that my iSight camera is no lonfer working! Is there anything i can try or do i have to wait and see if Apple release a fix?

See Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090

(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

If the problem is the same in more than one user account, and if OS X Mavericks recovery or reinstall doesn't fix your problem, contact Apple or your Apple Authorized Service Provider.
