Q: After Upgrading to 10.9.2 Isight is not working

Hi,

 

i just updated Mavericks to 10.9.2 on my Mac Book Pro (3.1). Now Facetime and Photo Booth is not working anymore.

Facetime is not working at all and crashes. Photo Booth tells me that isight is not connected.

 

The Isight is still visible in the System Monitor.

 

Any Ideas? It is really frustrating, beacuse i am not able to use facetime anymore.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    Glad to know if helped your case @chatzki.

     

    I think the general consensus here is that it is confirmed there will be issues with applications that install and need to access the video capabilities, just that there are a lot of such apps, so I'm sure there are bound to be a few not mentioned/encountered.  A few notable ones had already need mentioned (I.e. Air Parrot), and any other people who managed to solve their problems and listing down their experiences will help. :)

    These instructions solved my problem. Is important to note that I had AirParrot installed and I have downloaded and run the uninstaller - this did NOT solve the problem.

     

    I have tried other solutions, including resetting the PRAM, but after using these commands and restarting did solve the issue indeed.

     

    Kudos to Frederic Cote1.

     

    My machine is a Macbook Pro Santa Rosa (late 2007, Macbook 3,1) running Mavericks (10.9.2).

     

    Thanks!

    Yeah, remove all starting with AV*

     

    Open Terminal, issue the following:

     

    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AV*

     

    I would also advise to update boot cache. Kext Utility may help. Reboot and check whether the cam's working.

    Same stuff as previous user had:

     

    AVFrameBuffer.kext

    AVVideoCard.kext

     

    Remove them, download and run Kext Utility, reboot and enjoy.

     

    And read before asking.

    I don't have any AV extensions, never installed AirParrot or any other mirrors, Camera still keeps disappearing/appearing - mostly disappearing. 

     

    Happy to post anything for help.  

     

    I (believe) I have tried everything suggested - reinstalling mavericks, repairing disk permissions, PRAM reset. 

     

    Would really appreciate any additional suggestions.

     

    Thanks!

    Clean up the list you sent.

     

    You have a different source of a problem. You've said that sometimes camera works, sometimes doesn't. I presume there must be hardware issue, since all the kexts you have are generally native Apple's ones. Try booting into safe mode. If your cam keeps misbehaving even there - welcome to Apple Service. One more test to be done, is to remove 3rd party kexts anyway, it's HP's in your case, though I hesitate that they can cause the issue.

     

    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/hp*
