• Restart your Mac. If the problem continues, use the Disk Utility in your Mac's Finder > Go > Utilities folder to repair permissions. Then test the camera again.

• If the your trouble persists,. reinstall OS X Mavericks. Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the reinstall and before testing the camera again.

• Also check your Mac's  > Software Update... or Apple - Support - Downloads for latest Mavericks updates applicable to your Mac model such as OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update.
