FaceTime HD camera

Since the update to OS X Yosemite the FaceTime HD camera does not work anymore. In all applications (FaceTime.app, systempref\userprofile) comes the message, that no camera was found.


Can you help me?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hello


Restart didn't help. I did (with help from Apple support hotline) the fallowing:


1. shut down MAC

2. removing all USB-cables (e.g. hard drives, devices, or else) from the MAC.

3. removing the power plug

4. waiting 10-20 seconds

5. with removed power plug up to ten times pushing the power button (nothing happens at all, because the power cable is not plugged in).

6. waiting 20 seconds

7. plugging all cables and the power plug.

8 . restart MAC and it works


The support hotline told me, that some condensators could have been the problem.


Now it is solved. Thank you for your time taken, to help me.
