Q: After installing OSX Lion, the built-in camera no longer works.  Solution?

After installing OS X Lion on a late 2010 MacBookPro, the built-in camera no longer works.  Worked beautifully with Snow Leopard.  Reset SMU to no avail.  Any solutions?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat

 

1. Click on Macintosh HD on the top right of your desktop (or whatever else you’ve called your Harddrive) 2. Click through System > Library > LaunchDaemons 3. Now look for the file com.apple.mio.VDCAssistant.plist  - and send it to trash.  http://www.appleware.co.uk/2008/12/03/isight-camera-fix.html

    The suggestions were all great and I used them...but it turned out that the connection to the camera in the MacBook Pro hinge was worn and Apple replaced (under warranty) the entire display.  Everything works fine now.

    HI,

     

    I have not heard of that one since the 2007 and 2008 versions.

     

    Glad to hear you have it sorted.
