Mac camera not working after trying several fixes Hello, I'm reaching out for help because ever since 3 months ago my MacBook's camera has not been working at all. I have tried several different fixes with the terminal and checking the camera tab in system status (it shows up), but nothing is fixing my issue. I was on the latest version of Ventura and I was hoping maybe updating to a beta version of Sonoma would do the trick, but unfortunately it did not do anything. I bought this mac refurbished so I am praying that there is no hardware damage, but it was working perfectly when I got it and even when I try to use my iPhone or external Logitech c920 webcam as a camera it again does not work. I really love this Mac and I just want to be able to use FaceTime and PhotoBooth and record video. -Chris attached will be screenshots of PhotoBooth, FaceTime, and system status in order.

Hi shauntez80,

Thanks for reaching out to us and letting us know your MacBook Air has OS 10.10, Yosemite installed. Is that the highest your Mac will upgrade to, or are you staying at OS 10.10 as your preference at this time?

Are you able to record using the app QuickTime?

What happens when you try to record using Photo Booth? Do you see anything on the screen? Does a message pop up?

We look forward to hearing back from you!
