Tahoe 26: Thunderbolt Display camera won't work anymore

Hi Grant Bennet-Alder,

I have disconnected everything that was connected to the Display (drives, Headphones ...). Camera still does not work after boot.

I don't think it is a hardware error because the camera works perfectly well as soon as I have disconnected and reconnected the Thunderbolt cable.

Regards,

Gregor

The camera on my Thunderbolt Display camera works fine, but my external Thunderbolt camera won't work at all, and I've tried all the fixes in this thread. It works fine on another Mac (not running Tahoe), but I can't get it to work on my main machine.

did you try the solution that seemed to work for the original author?

Sadly, this problem persists in the 26.0.1 update.

Discovered my Thunderbolt Display camera also isn't working after a Tahoe update. Is this an attempt to force us to upgrade to the new displays?

I did this. Camera does not appear in the list. Also, under Privacy & Security no apps appear under the allowed apps with permissions to use the camera.

Yes, this dis not help.

When I boot my Macbook while Thunderbolt Display is connected the camera is not recognized. System report:

When I disconnect and reconnect the Thunderbolt it works. System report:

Any suggestions about what I can do so that I don't have to disconnect and reconnect the Thunderbolt?

Gregor
