MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011) camera not working after Yosemite 10.10 upgrade?

Anyone out there with a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011) camera not working after Yosemite 10.10 upgrade?

I did not try anything else than launching Skype and Facetime, and both were not recognized by the applications - no green light either.

I am hoping I am not alone and there is a fix coming soon, if this is Yosemite related...

Better to troubleshoot then wait for an update.

I was having a similar problem with FaceTime and Photo Booth - no camera found. On another discussion I found the following and after performing the steps the camera works again.


This is what customer support instructed me to do for my iMac:


Rest 1.

Shut down computer and unplug power; wait 15 secs.

Turn on computer.

Shut down computer.


Reset 2.

Turn on computer.

Before gray screen comes up, so almost immediately, press Option-Command-P-R at the same time.

Hold down until you hear the turn-on noise, let go and let the system start up.
