This problem drove me crazy, but then I found the solution posted here (http://osxdaily.com/2013/12/27/fix-there-is-no-connected-camera-error-mac/) and was amazed with how easy it was. It fixed my MBA. The camera cam right back to life.

@kenmort - Thanks, worked like a charm. I almost thought it is a hardware issue and gave up. With this fix probably my MacBook Pro 2009 can serve the purpose for a little longer. You saved me few bucks 🙂

Dear Apple Users,

i have experienced the problem of a not working isight (listed on hardware profile)

on a Macbook Pro 15” 2009 and i want to share with you how

i solved the problem:

tried all kind of reset ( SMC and NVRAM/PRAM)
disconnected and clean Monitor cables
Clean install of Yosemite 10.10.4

So yesterday i removed the Battery , disconnected the Power Supply and leaved the Macbook without energy all the night .

This Morning i started my MBP opened Quicktime X , new video recording and …WORKED Again !!!!

Thanks anyway to all the helping people and let me know if i had helped someone to solve the same isight Problem
