Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The camera is no longer recognized by the system, but it was working just fine before the update.
It says "No video capture devices were found." at the System Information App.
I have a late 2013 13" MacBook Air (MacBookAir6,2)
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013)
I have the same issue with my MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013) [ MacBookAir6.1 ] running macOS X Sierra (10.12.2)
Apple Hardware Diagnostic (AHD) shows the camera and no errors on the extensive testing.

FaceTime App shows "No camera available."
I've rest SMC, PRAM, and all the standard resettings recommended by Apple.
I just reformatted OS X and checked to see if it was something I did on software side, and yet not fixed. So if the problem is software, it's with Sierra OS X 10.12.
I just don't understand how come AHD sees the camera, but the OS X does not.
I'm this close to abandon Apple and install Microsoft windows or Unix on the machine to prove the problem is with Sierra! Very Frustrating!!!
Can anyone help?
Agreed JP. Seems a reset fixes the issue temporarily but 19 out of 20 times when I run something needing the camera (Photo Booth, Facetime, Skype, Hangouts ...) "NO CAMERA AVAILABLE".

Smitty
My issue for built-in camera is not persistent, however whenever I need the camera feature it showed the frustrating "no-built in camera" signals.
I leave in the U.S. and my parents are overseas, I need to use skype to contact them frequently. Whenever the problem incurred I went to Apple store the next day, the camera worked properly at the store like nothing happened. Some of the hardware parts have been replaced in my mac but it seems to me the problem still resisted. so stubborn!
That is exactly what I have on my rMBP Early 2013. Latest OS, all firmware updates. Clue anyone?
I'm having this same problem. I regain the camera when I revert to a backup before the last update (10.9). As soon as I upgrade to 10.9.2 again, I have the same problem. I've attempted to locate a driver download, with no avail...
MBP (early 2008)
OSX Maverick (10.9.2)
Same problem here, i run the mac pro 2009 in snow leapard the camera work fine, but not on the latest version of osx.
Yep...same problem with me. I did an update (Mavericks) and I lost the camera on my MBA. I've tried with different accounts and with different apps. Sys Profile doesn't indicate there is a camera at all. I have tried all the resets...no luck.
This *****...I need my camera
This issue just cropped for my macbook air 2012 13inch. Never had isight problem before in Mavericks or previous OS X version. I can't say that the update caused the issue for sure, but as far as I can tell after the 10.9.4 update my isight is intermitently recognized (mainly not). I have tried everything listed on forums here with no luck. Yesterday I thought it was a hardware issue for sure, but today I opened from sleep and it worked in FaceTime and photobooth and was recognized in system profiler! However, after reopening FaceTime it appeared dead again. Restarted, tried all previous troubleshooting and nothing. Now I don't know whether the issue is software or hardware. Disappointed with Apple in either case.
I have the exact same issue!
