Kinda same problem.. No official Apple store in my country and I have doubts that apple authorized reseller here will try to fix it but mess something else in my less than a month old MBP Retina. and yeah they don't do exchanges here..


Atleast hoping since it's a widespread issue that Apple will look into it and fix via Software/Firmware updates soon. although I'm kinda worried since I didn't try the camera before updating to mountain lion.

I don't know how to tell everyone at once so if you know how please get this around the forums;


With the computer off, using the left side of the keyboard press and hold;


Shift

Control

Option

and the power key for 5 seconds


1.....2.....3....4.....5...

then let go of them all at the same time


Nothing will appear to have happened- Turn your computer back on and open facetime- YEAAAAH Buddy! Just worked on mine and feel its my duty to tell others. No clue how to post in all. Thanks to a sweet girl named Rachel at Applecare.
