Q: built in camera...video awful w/ Skype AND FaceTime--help
I am not sure if this is the right place, but since upgrade to Mavericks, neither Skype NOR FaceTime video is operating well. A friend took a screen shot of me and I realized what she meant by screwed up. I tried using FaceTime and the video there was also dreadful. Photobooth works Fine. Therefore, there is something amiss with Skype and FaceTime both which use VIDEO. Hellooooo.
It would be ludicrous to think I need to UNinstall Mavericks and then REinstall it to get my video to work on those 2 applications. It works fine on photo booth and imovie, by the way.
SO, apple brains, I look to you to help. If you have seen my prior posts, I disliked Mavericks off the bat, but did not even realize how much was wrong. I lost my icloud mail, entirely. Cannot use Skype or FaceTime because the video quality is horrendous, and I am sure I am forgetting something else I could add.
At this moment, OTHER than uninstall of Mavericks, which I did from the Apple Store online, HOW can I get at least normal video quality on skype and Facetime?????
Thank you .
