Q: isight image capture disappeared after software update

I did a software update this week. After that, Image Capture.app is missing from my Applications and I can't use iSight camera!

Anyone have any answers. Not complex please; I don't want to/shouldn't have to (naughty Apple!) trawl through a ton of app software trying to get iSight back. There is no reason for the app to disappear except software update. I haven't changed anything else.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

(1) Restart your Mac. If your trouble persists, apply the
10.6.8 Combo Client Update using the following method:

• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions.

• Then download and apply http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
that completes the Combo update. Then see if the problem is fixed.

(2) If the trouble continues, post back and tell us WHICH software you updated last week.

We will offer other suggestions based on the details in your response.
