Hi, I think I too have the same problem as you. I upgraded (?) to Sierra and since then I am having problems with so many things. One of them is camera not connected. Reading through solutions I too went for privacy and security to allow apps to use camera and like you found they were not in the list. So my question is how do I connect the camera to say photobooth for an example?

Does this sound like a similar situation to yours? Have you sorted it yet?

Hello dialabrain, I am using a mid 2010 macbook pro. I took the plunge to upgrade the other day to Sierra (I had intended to upgrade to High Sierra but don’t know what happened there) and since then so many things have gone to pot.

At the moment when trying to use anything with a camera I just get a camera not connected message. It looks like there is no way to connect the camera.

I have absolutely no tech knowledge so I could be missing the really obvious.
