My iSight camera doesn't work on Chat

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.

Thanks for this K!

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!
