    OK, I've got this problem, Macbook Pro Retina 13", now running Yosemite, but same problem on previous OS.

     

    I've tried: Resetting PRAM, SMC, Restarting in safe mode and resetting permissions.

    Also done the sudo killall SMCAssistant thingy (searching the computer finds no such file anyway), and logged in as a separate user.

     

    System profiler does not recognise the in-built camera, not even after a restart.

     

    Any ideas? I've been working on this problem since I discovered it several weeks ago (I don't use the camera very often, so no idea when this started)
