Isight issue with chat roulette sites

Hey i was looking for some help.

All of a sudden my isight isn't being picked up by some of the chat roulette style sites. it works with photo booth, iChat, some sites but not all. on the sites it doesn't work with it just says camera not found. Any ideas thanks for the help

Mac Book Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Welcome to Discussions, asendedones

If iSight still works properly with everything else, consider these two possibilities:

(1) If you have installed Google plugins, user OysterOyster reports that uninstalling them restores proper iSight function with Flash and Mac OS X 10.6.5.

If Google is your problem, the GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app should be in your hard drive's Library/Application Support/Google/ folder. ( not your home folder library)

At least one other user has reported that using the Google uninstaller worked for him, too.

(2) Otherwise, user joew13 reports that installing the new Flash beta fixed Flash sites for him:

Other users have also reported success after the beta update.

You're most welcome.

Thanks for letting us know what worked for you (and for the Solved Star points, too!)
