Camera on MacBook not working

Hi guys,

lately the built-in camera on my macbook pro hasn't been working properly: at first it works normally then after a while it stops (the green light stays on) and when I open photo booth or other programmes it says "camera not connected", how can I fix this?

Thanks

I tried: "sudo killall VDCAssistant" and received the following response:



We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System

Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:


#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

There is a symbol of a 'key' following 'Password:'.

I'm not on a network - so no 'System Administrator'.

Any suggestions?
