Q: After Upgrading to 10.9.2 Isight is not working

TimW321's advice worked for me.

In terminal: sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

Apple Menu -> Shutdown

My 15" Late 2008 MacBook Pro wasn't even recognizing the built in iSight, in any application, or in System Information after the update to 10.9.2.

Update: After launching Skype things are back to normal (iSight works in Messages now). Thanks to all the smart people here that figured this out. Seems a bunch of developers need to update their apps,

Old post below.

I've uninstall AirParrot, AirServer, and iDisplay from my iMac. Still no iSight cam in Messages. External iSight (Firewire) works in Messages.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Same thing with me. I uninstalled AirParrot and other similar applications, but my iSight didn't work.

How I solved? I reinstalled OS X and restore my documents and data ONLY - not system settings and applications. Then, I reinstalled all my applications EXCEPT for AirParrot, obviously.

So, It worked

I have the same problem, please let me know if they fix this problem for yoou.

What is up with this up date 10.9.2    I have a bunch on programs that are not working, iphoto, photo booth, calendar is what I have discovered so far any one else having similar issues. I am pretty disappointed with apple on this one. First time that I have had issues like this

Not at all. Try downloading and installing the Combo update from here

Cheers

Hi everybody.

I have a 2009 iMac 3.07GHz running Mavericks. I have upgraded my OS up to 10.9.2 (Build 13C64).

Like a lot of folks, the build-in iSight has stopped immediatly to work....

No more FaceTime, bye bye Skype... And Photo Booth.

Restart, creation of a new User, one complete night of rethinking...  and find a SOLUTION !

In my System Preferences, I deleted some Prefs Panes: Flash Player, Flip4Mac, Air Display, GoPro and Perian.

And the iSight works again !

But wich Pref Pane created a conflict ? I will never know...

I have reinstalled all Prefs Panes... And works fine

It was Air Display. Now you do know...

I guess you didn't actually read this whole discussion before posting, as we'd already found the following programs to be responsible:

• Air Display
• AirParrot
• DisplayLink drivers

If anyone identifies any other culprits, please post here.

iDisplay is another culprit. Downloaded the installer and used the the included unistall script. No more crashes after that.

I've also fixed my issue.  In my case, the culprit is the "Virtual Driver" of Splashtop Streamer.  After I've click on the "Uninstall/Remove Driver" box, and rebotted my system, not only I'm able to access my iSight camera from Skype and Facetime (I've gotta launch Skype first to get it to recognise the camera, and Facetime works thereafter), I'm also no longer seeing the VDCAssistant constantly crashing and trying to relaunch and crashing again, and the CrashReporter hog in Console.

Attached is the image of my Splashtop Streamer options after unstalling the Virtual Driver and rebooting.

Same problem here.

MBP 4,1
10.9.2

But no iDisplay, Air Display nor Air Parrot though...

Skype and Photobooth camera don't work.

my main board is kinda failing after 3 yrs after the first replacement.

Hey I'm new to the mac and can't seem to find the "Extension" folder in library. A little guidence please

Has anyone tried AirParrot 1.5.4? Does it continue to have same issues? Thanks for any info.

Hello, same issue After Upgrading to 10.9.2 isight is not working ...

After reinstalling Mavericks => same problem

So => clean install

And after installing all my applications manually , I've found that in my case the troublemaker was  "Air Display".

Sorry for my English ... i'm french
