Q: My iSight camera doesn't work on Chat

Jan 10, 2015 2:39 PMby K Shaffer,Wonder if an SMC reset, may help the computer and the software, recognize the iSight?
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Not sure what else to check, in regard to troubleshooting.
If camera isn't recognized in system profile for hardware
there may be a need to consider scheduling appointment
with some Authorized Apple service provider for testing.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

In addition to K'a good SMC reset suggestion, there are a couple additional ideas in How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support.

I followed the instructions for my macbook (pressing control, option, command and power at the same time) and when i turned it back on, everything was working normally with my camera! the light had been on since i did a security update the other day and trying to use photobooth/skype i realized the camera wouldn't work.
now it will!
cheers!
