I installed windows 8.1 on my mid Imac 2010 and I also installed bootcamp;s drivers that apple offers. Everything else is installed ok but only i-sight is the problem. Is there any solution ? Any driver that I can donwload separately...? Thank you...
iMac, Windows 8
Rudegar,
I'm new with mac, let me ask you something.
I'm using bootcamp 5.1 with windows 8.1 and have the updated the drives for bootcamp.
The problem is the following: when I open the camera application of windows 8, the camera looks ok.
But when I take a picture, it divides the picture into 2 frames.
Is there a solution for this? Is this occurs with you too?
Thank you.
when I read posts like yours I often do the test myself
so I went into skype both metro and desktop skype and to my horror like you I did not have the option only my logitech webcam was an option
I went into devices and see that ht had FaceTimeHD camera (Built-in) as malfunctioning not working devices there
I went to my bootcamp driver zip and ran the apple AppleCamera64.exe
but little did it help then I googled it
came across this post at ms
did the uninstall of both of the unknown devices as suggested and ran a scan for new hardware and bam!
the camera was back in action
suppose looking like a gobling shark made it so I never noticed that win8.1 had broken my facetime cam before you brought it up😀
First of all, thanks a lot for your reply,
I' ve tried that you wrote me with the unistall and install it again but it didnt work again. I did it a lot of times but every time I did it, it didnt work. I dont know what else to do. I forgot to mention that when I am going to device manager it doesnt says FacetimeHd camera. It says built in only. I installed and reinstalled it many times, then I restarted Imac but the problem remains.
My friend,
I made a facebook chat and mic and isight worked great. My problem was that i couldn;t open skype and viber. I thought that I had a wrong driver so these 2 apps couldnt open. But I was wrong. What is the problem that I cant open Skype and Viber. I ve done all of the Updates. Getting nervous with windows 8.1.
guess I would try other sources then the win one to see if they worked maybe skype or others free ones if only the win build in one would have this issue then I would blame the program, haven't used the cam for anything but chat stuff so not 100% sure if I would get the same error will check when I boot into win8.1
did you install the exe driver installer ?
is in osx now so I can't verify if my cam works still or it gets broken again though
Yes I did install it but I still cant get it work...
if it works some places in the computer like facebook then it's not a driver issue it's an issue with skype and viber even if it's odd that both have issues
no the take photo in the build in photo app in win8.1 does not alter the image to be different than what it shows for me
Built-in iSight doesn't work for Windows 8.1
