Q: How to reset my ISight Camera on MacPro 2012 - running OS X 10. 8. 5

My ISight camera works for a bit, but then is not recognized by any program nor in Utilities. I've been experiencing some problems for about 4 months. It works sometimes without problems but then most times its really problematic.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    Use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090

     

    Test more than one Apple app in more than one user account.

     

    The "reset" suggested there sometime can restore normal function.

     

    There are no user serviceable parts of your camera. 

    If your problem continues, make a current backup. 

    Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:

     

    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
