Hello i have recently updated to mountion lion 10.8.5 but the problem is everything works except my photobooth .facetime... and other video/ camera options ...

if you've done an SMC reset and the issue still persists in all the applications that use the internal camera there may be a hardware issue.


you need to see if the internal camera is listed in the system profile:


click on black apple, about this mac, more info, system report and under the hardware section. click on USB look to the left and make sure the HD facetime camera is showing up there if it's not the mac needs serviced so take to apple store or service provider to have it looked at for repair.
