Q: FaceTime camera isn't working with yosemite 10.10 (macbook air)

I just like to know if this is a bug in Yosemite. I'm just afraid that I might have deleted something on my laptop that made iSight stop working. This same problem actually occurred after i updated to Yosemite.

Just wondering if anyone got back to you with a resolution or if you got it working again? Thanks.

My FaceTime camera still indicates a camera is not connected; however other services (Skype) are connected to the camera.

This worked for me. I have only tried it one time, so I cannot verify if it is a permanent fix or not.

Same here with Late 2013 rMBP. I think this is a crime to those people who have video conference all the day. Please release a Hotfix for this, apple. We need camera.

Send your FaceTime suggestions / comments directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html.

You will not likely see a response from Apple, but "Feedback" offers the best assurance that responsible Apple people will see your input.

I was having a similar problem and found the following steps on another discussion. After executing the steps FaceTime and PhotoBooth recognize the built-in camera.

This is what customer support instructed me to do for my iMac:

Rest 1.

Shut down computer and unplug power; wait 15 secs.

Turn on computer.

Shut down computer.

Reset 2.

Turn on computer.

Before gray screen comes up, so almost immediately, press Option-Command-P-R at the same time.

Hold down until you hear the turn-on noise, let go and let the system start up.

This worked for me! It's a quick fix and worked instantly. Thank you!

This worked for me. Thank you!

Worked for me too, thanks a lot !

This did not work on my late-2011 MacBook Pro...

Thanks but didn't work. Did you let the chime go once?

No, I did NOT wait for the chime...press the Option-Command-P-R (at the same time) almost immediately then release after you hear the start-up noise (chime).
